Larch Lake: Application calls for use of rotenone to kill off invasive species. By Lachlan Labere

market news staff

The province is targeting a small waterbody in the Larch Hills area with the hope of preventing a significant threat from spreading. Those people who frequent the popular Larch Hills cross-country ski area may be familiar with the Larch Lake Loop, named after the little lake not too

far past Cec’s Cabin. What skiers won’t notice, for obvious reasons, is the spreading population of the lake’s non-native inhabitants, yellow perch, a voracious fish species that can drastically alter a lake’s ecosystem. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources is in the process of applying for a pesticide use permit in order to treat the lake,

federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans suggests that failing to deal with this small population of yellow perch would open the door for these fish to migrate into Shuswap Lake, and cause extensive damage to native species and the ecosystem as a whole,” says Clarke. BC Wildlife Federation member Don Trethewey says in these cases the fish has been illegally intro-

duced to the lake. This is illegal in B.C., with a penalty of up to $100,000 for firsttime offenders. Asked about the process of treating the invasive species with rotenone, Trethewey says it’s the only satisfactory way to do it. “It doesn’t take long for them to totally over-populate a lake and become See Perch on page 2

Two perish in fiery crash

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAff

Two men, believed to be in their 20s, died Monday night in a fiery crash on the TransCanada Highway at Hoffman’s Bluff west of Chase. The Central Interior Traffic Services are continuing to investigate the head-on collision between a pick-up truck and a semi trailer that took place at 9:30 p.m. May 6. Chase and Kamloops RCMP, as well as fire and rescue crews from Pritchard and Chase, were called to the scene where witnesses reported a pickup truck crossed the centre line. The truck drove head-on into a west-

The pick-up truck then burst into flames, igniting the semi as well as some surrounding trees and brush. RCMP say they believe alcohol and speed were contributing factors in the collision. A male passenger was able to escape the

wreckage after being pulled from the truck by people at the scene. He is reported to have been taken to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops for treatment of serious injuries. The driver of the semi-truck suffered a broken leg and was transported to Shuswap Lake General Hospital for treatment.

Perch can alter entire ecosytem Continued from front stunted, and nobody wants them then,” says Trethewey of yellow perch. “And they eat everything they can cram down their throat, even other little perch. So they really can do a number on the ecosystem… in terms of the insects and invertebrate life in the lake.” While the Larch Lake Loop is busy in winter, the area also sees use in summer from other recreational users.

Phil McIntyre-Paul of the Shuswap Trail Alliance says Larch Lake is important to the area, both ecologically and socially. “It’s got recreational value with both fish there and people hiking out there, and I’ve heard folks talking about swimming out there,” says McIntyrePaul. McIntyre-Paul says the Larch Hills jointuser committee, formed of motorized and nonmotorized user groups, have already put up

gates to protect sensitive bogs in the area, and will be putting up simple pole stiles to help limit access to other sensitive areas, including Larch Lake.

Incident now deemed murder-suicide By Tracy Hughes

MaRket neWS Staff

After indicating the deaths of a 45-year-old woman and 15-yearold boy were being investigated as murder, RCMP are now stating the situation was a murder suicide. The South East District Major Crime Unit has now concluded its

investigation into the deaths of two people at a residence in Anglemont. On April 30, at approximately 4:40 p.m., Chase RCMP were called to a residence in Anglemont, located 45 minutes east of Chase. Upon arrival, police located the bodies of two people. “RCMP have con-

firmed that this tragic event was a murdersuicide,” stated Cst. Lesley Smith, north district media relations officer. “The crime scene posed a number of challenges for members and after a lengthy investigation, with the assistance of the RCMP Forensic Identification Unit, police were able to confirm this unfortu-

nate outcome.” The residence is located on Greenwich Close Road in Anglemont. Smith says the names of the two deceased have still not been released out of respect for the family and would not comment on which person was determined to be the murder victim.

Idaho couple takes up search for fisherman The search for a missing fisherman in the Eagle Bay area has officially been disbanded by RCMP and Shuswap Search and Rescue. The man has been identified as 59-yearold John Poole from Calgary. He was last heard from at approximately 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 30 when he textmessaged his wife with a picture of himself

near Copper Island. Poole’s family is now in contact with an Idaho couple who recently assisted with the recovery of the bodies of two teen boys from Nicola Lake near Merritt. Gene and Sandy Ralston volunteer their time and their specialized sonar equipment to find missing people in lakes. The couple has begun

to search in a wide area where Poole’s body may be located. Poole was staying at his vacation home in Wild Rose Bay and was seen fishing on Tuesday morning. A neighbour looking out from a residence saw the boat out in choppy waters near noon, but could not see if anyone was on board. He later saw the boat

on shore, but thought the operator might have just been waiting out bad weather or visiting a geo-cache site located nearby. At approximately 8 a.m. May 1, the man’s boat was found beached on the rocks by the same neighbour, who contacted police. The boat was in gear with the down riggers and fishing lines engaged.

Candidates focus on jobs By Jennifer Smith Black Press

A broad range of topics took the spotlight as Armstrong/Spallumcheen residents took in the debate of Shuswap candidates Wednesday. Rural health care, decriminalization, smart meters, jobs, the economy, Enbridge, child poverty, electoral reform, government accessibility and downloading onto municipalities were among the variety of questions posed. Approximately 125 people packed the Centennial Theatre for the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce forum. The fact that young people are leaving the province for more and higher-paying jobs was one concern candidates shared their thoughts on. “If they want to stay and they can’t that is tragic,” said Conservative Tom Birch. “We have to bring jobs back to B.C. “We have to keep taxes low, we have to spend smarter, we have to encourage investment in the province.” Green candidate Chris George says B.C. needs to stop exporting its resources. “We can do better in our communities with our natural resources. We

n Green candidate Chris George addresses an Armstrong audience while Liberal and NDP candidates Greg Kyllo and Steve Gunner listen. don’t have to take these resources and give them to somebody else and buy it back from them so they make the wealth.” New Democrat Steve Gunner agrees with George. “We’ve taken 30,000 jobs out of the forest industry in the last decade. What we need to be doing is investing in local diverse and innovative jobs...we need to be investing in education. There are other things we need to be doing around making jobs a priority.” Liberal Greg Kyllo points out that B.C. isn’t alone in the current economic situation. “The challenges we have in B.C. largely are global.” Despite the problems, he points out that the province has become

less reliant on the U.S. and he pointed to various infrastructure projects that are focused on job creation. “The value or strength of a nation is reflected on its infrastructure.” When it comes to Canada’s resources and job creation, Kyllo points out that the Enbridge pipeline will help. “We need to work our federal government to try to work with our neighbours to get our product to market.” Birch agrees. “We are 100 per cent committed to working with Alberta to bring our product to market.” Gunner says the people need to be listened to on their concerns and the project needs to be better benefit B.C. “The pipeline is going to go through regardless

of what the review panel finds out. But you cannot simply push them (project) across the ground and expect people to buy into it.” The Greens are dead against the plan. “The green party position is simple: no tankers, no pipelines,” said George. “There is no such thing as a zero risk pipeline, there is no such thing as a zero risk tanker.” Another controversial topic raised was smart meters. “There is so much that can be said on smart meters and non of it is good,” said Birch, who proposes an opt-out option. George agrees with that option: “We are currently living in the largest uncontrolled experiment ever in terms of wireless technology.” Gunner says 30 per cent of the 30 people seen in just one day of campaigning indicated they wanted an opt-out option. “They (smart meters) have been implemented on society with the same degree of finesse as the HST and meat regulations.” But Kyllo defends the meters. “It (current technology) is 50 years old. If you can’t measure it you can’t manage it,” he said.

Ottawa’s spending doesn’t ad up

Chapter eight of the 2013 Spring Report of the Auditor General of Canada should ruffle the feathers of every taxpayer in this country. The title of chapter eight is “Spending on the Public Security and Anti-Terrorism Initiative.” The word “uncontrolled” should have been at the front of that title. The spring report is the result of a performance audit designed to identify “… how well government is managing its activities, responsibilities and resources.” The conclusion of the auditor general on the massive spending program geared to keep Canadians safe from terror is that, “…departments and agencies reported spending $9.8 billion on PSAT Initiative activities, but information on whether departments used $3.1 billion in Initiative funding was not available.” Information on where $3.1 billion went is just not available? Why? At tax time, Canadians are asked to provide proof of income and expenses to ensure we’re following rules to keep our economy humming along. Why is the federal government playing under a different set of rules? The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat mandate is to provide advice and support to Treasury Board ministers and provide oversight of the financial management of government. Given that they have identified three possible scenarios that might account for what happened to the money (they are at least good at that) it shouldn’t be a big leap to drill down a little further. According to the report, weaknesses in the way the government assesses proposals for funding and their reporting processes, were identified as far back as 2004. This isn’t pocket change, so the question needs to be asked: How well is the government managing activities, responsibilities and resources in this case? In a word: badly. -Black Press

OpiniOn

Study provides chance to reel in cash As a kid I squandered a lot of hours casting a line to the trout just below the first fall in Chase Creek. Those were idyllic days without much care or worry. Since then I have managed to reel in pretty well every species of fresh water fish this province has to offer. I cannot, however, say that I have a favourite species of fish, or even a favourite fishing spot. It’s more about just getting away from everything than the actual catching of fish. This summer though, according to a recent notice issued by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, anglers throughout the province will have the opportunity to reel in more than just their favourite species of fish. Coinciding with its 10th anniversary, the FFSBC is launching a new, provincewide research project that requires the help of anglers, in return for rewards totalling more than $15,000. Beginning this month, and continuing through to the fall of this year, the FFSBC is marking approxi-

The GreaT OuTdOOrS James Murray mately 300 of its catchable size, hatchery-raised rainbow trout with individually numbered neon-pink tags bearing a toll-free number. The trout will be released into some 40 lakes around the province and anglers who catch one of these tagged fish are being asked to remove the tag and call the toll-free number. Provided they have a current BC fishing licence and any required stamps, the FFSBC will send the first 150 “tag reporters” a $100 reward. (Subsequent tag reporters will receive gift certificates of various values for fishing supplies.) The specific locations of the tagged fish releases are

not being revealed, but the FFSBC confirms that fish will be released into multiple stocked lakes in each of the province’s eight fishing regions, including the Shuswap. “We need the help of BC anglers to conduct this research, and it’s only fair to reward them for their efforts,” says FFSBC vice president Adrian Clarke. “The data gathered will help us continue to improve the province’s small lakes fisheries.” Data gathered from the tagging project will provide stock assessment information and assist in the management of the provincial stocking program. The project will also add essential information to an ongoing, multi-year, large-scale research study funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and FFSBC. The study uses the rainbow trout fishery of British Columbia as an experimental system. With its mix of about 800

hatchery-stocked lakes and more than 3,000 wild stock lakes, fishing quality can be easily manipulated without raising conservation concerns. The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC was created in 2003 as a private, not-forprofit organization, funded largely through freshwater fishing licence revenues. The Society works in partnership with provincial fisheries managers to deliver fish stocking programs that support 50 per cent of all sport fishing lakes in the province, delivering between six and eight million fish annually. It also operates conservation fish culture services for sturgeon recovery programs, and various other initiatives to enhance participation and access, such as Learn to Fish and Fishing in the City programs. Whether or not you are one of the lucky anglers who reels in a specially tagged fish, you can still enjoy the benefits of all the work that the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC has been doing over the years.

GENERAL MECHANICAL REPAIRS

Mayes overlooks Canadian data Regarding the From the Hill colum, by Colin Mayes, in the April 12, Shuswap Market News. “Canadian Arctic sea ice reached record low in Summer 2012.” The above headline and article appear on the Environment Canada, Canadian Ice Service website, in stark contrast to Colin Mayes’ statement in his article based on unverifiable information from the

Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI). His assertion that “Arctic ice has made a comeback, and arctic temperatures have returned to normal lows,” is unverifiable as no such information, article, or press release from the Danish Meteorological Institute can be located on their website. Their website does contain many references to concerns about cli-

mate change, and monitoring and research underway to prepare for the future climate. If Mr. Mayes had shopped more locally for his information he would have readily found the Canadian Ice Service article stating: “Arctic sea ice reached record-breaking low extents during summer 2012. In Northern Canadian Waters, during summer 2012, minimum ice coverage

of 8.4 per cent was recorded for the week of September 10, breaking the previous Canadian Arctic record set in 2011 (9.4 per cent).” The graph that goes with the article shows a significant reduction in sea ice coverage in the last 15 years. Mr. Mayes had to overlook Canadian data and look far and wide to find information, if indeed he found information at all, to

misrepresent to support his tenuous theory. The DMI had made no statements that agree with Mr. Mayes assertion. Their data has been taken and interpreted to suit the needs of a government that has backed out of the Kyoto Accord, promoted the Enbridge pipeline, and reduced environmental monitoring and protection. Keith Cox

Canadians have scientific reasons to be worried MP Colin Mayes tells us that Arctic ice has made a comeback, temperatures have returned to normal lows, and public concern about vanishing Arctic ice is “just a knee-jerk reaction to a cyclical spike in temperature over the past couple of decades.” (‘Government protects Arctic environment,’ Shuswap Market News, April 12). Canadians should be concerned that the Harper government refuses to believe what virtually every accredited climate scientist in the world believes: - that climate change

is real and that humans are contributing to it by burning fossil fuels. Of even greater concern is that the Harper government is intent on preventing Canadians from accessing information that disagrees with its views. Scientists working for the federal government report that they are being muzzled, and many federally-funded research programs that contribute to international knowledge about the impacts of climate change are being shut down. For example, the Polar Environment At-

mospheric Research Lab in Nunavut, which tracks ozone depletion, air quality and climate change in the High Arctic, was shut down last year. The National Roundtable on the Economy and Environment was also axed, and Environment Minister Peter Kent has recently taken steps to bury its research. Now the 45-year-old Experimental Lakes Laboratory has been shut down, ending several important studies, including one that focused on changes to lakes and their fish populations in the drier

conditions that are predicted as a result of climate change. Recently, the World Bank and a coalition of the world’s largest investors warned that unless radical measures to halt global greenhouse gas emissions are put in place without delay, the world will face runaway climate change, with the collapse of entire ecosystems and the loss of trillions of dollars in investments and retirement savings. Mr. Harper speaks endlessly about the importance of the economy, but fails to grasp the fact that economic

prosperity depends on a safe-climate world. Canadians have reason to be deeply concerned.

SLIPP plans and programs proceed DIrector’S noteS Paul Demenok federal and provincial agencies. Simpson noted that the new SLIPP leadership has generated more meetings and involvement. He announced a series of open houses will occur in 2013 to enhance communication and obtain feedback, and will be an outreach opportunity for community groups to invite SLIPP to present at local meetings. Contract biologist Steve Matthews provided an overview of the water quality monitoring program. SLIPP was noted to provide multiple benefits – coordination of sampling programs; expansion of monitoring to be able to address specific issues; improvements in quality, quantity, management and accessibility of information; ability to leverage funding and encourage a higher level of understanding and engagement. The water quality

monitoring project has four key objectives – assess general lake nutrient trends, shallow area conditions, impact of specific activities or discharges, and watershed and tributary monitoring. General lake nutrient trends showed organic nitrogen levels elevated in 2011-12 resulting from natural sources (nutrient releases from the large number of sockeye spawners in 2010) and phosphorous levels elevated in Salmon Arm and Mara Lake in 2012 due to high spring freshet flows. Shallow area conditions are still undergoing data analysis. Higher phosphorous and nitrogen levels were noted in Salmon Arm and Christmas Island, but were within established standards. No boat greywater studies occurred in 2012, and data for specific issues are still being analyzed along with watershed and tributary nutrient loadings. The larger tributaries continue to display the highest nutrient loading, which is anticipated based on higher volumes of water. A few smaller tributaries are the subject of increased monitoring due to high nutrient concentrations. There is much work

yet to be done in completing reports and analyses. Key goals are to identify specific nutrient sources for Shuswap Lake and to shift from monitoring towards management. Results of the water quality monitoring will be posted on the SLIPP website when ready. Matthews’ presentation on foreshore restoration provided an interesting rationale for restoration, the shoreline mapping project, activities to date, and progress with the abandoned dock removal program. Thus far, seven sites have undergone restoration and 25 derelict docks have been removed. The focus for 2013 and beyond will be continued abandoned dock removal and development of a five-year restoration plan. John Hull and Sydney Johnsen of Thomson Rivers University presented a draft recreation management plan that recognizes the need to balance economic, environmental and social values. A survey collected opinions from more than 700 lake users and provides a solid, statistically significant data base. The findings will appear on the SLIPP website.

The 2013 Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) all-committee meeting at Quaaout Lodge on April 24 was attended by more than 100 people from technical teams, public advisory committees, provincial and regional governments, and the public. The meeting provided an update on progress and planned activities of SLIPP, now in its third and final year of the pilot program. Mike Simpson of Fraser Basin Council is the new SLIPP program manager. He facilitated the session and provided an overview of the strategic plan and framework of SLIPP, which includes a steering committee, a technical team and a public advisory committee for each goal – foreshore development, water quality and recreation management. The 2013-14 workplan has these budget allocations by priority: $185,000 for water quality, $49,000 for admin/meetings, $46,000 for foreshore restoration, $41,000 for communication/education, $35,000 for recreation and $3,000 for compliance/enforcement. SLIPP co-ordinates planning and awareness, reduces duplication, conducts innovative research, provides solutions, accesses resources, and leverages funding from a variety of sources. In addition to annual funding of $335,000 from Columbia Shuswap Regional District, Thompson Nicola Regional District, Salmon Arm and Sicamous (2011 only), other funding for SLIPP has come from the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation ($345,000), Living Rivers Trust Fund ($25,000), Old Town Bay court awards ($70,000), and cash and in-kind donations of $560,000 from various

North Canoe school gets some gear

n North Canoe Elementary is the fortunate recipient of a $10,000 grant from GoodLife Kids Foundation, a Canadian private foundation with a vision for every Canadian kid to have the opportunity to live a fit and healthy good life. This grant will allow North Canoe to purchase new equipment (skates, snow shoes, cross-country skis, crazy carpets, and shovels) as well as help cover such costs as transportation, rental of facilities, instructors and healthy snacks for the winter recreation program. Students from Barb Schipfel’s Grade 1-2 class and Carrie Smith and Jeff Abbott’s Grade 4-5 class are holding some of the equipment the school now has, but with this grant they will have full class sets. The school will be working with a local sports store to purchase 25 sets of snow shoes, 20 sets of cross-country skis, 10 sets of skates, 10 helmets, some snow sliders and some plastic shovels.

Sturgis North makes move to Merritt By Martha Wickett

MArKet neWS StAff

Sturgis North is heading west. In a press release posted to its website Monday, May 13, the Sturgis North Motorcycle Jamboree and Music Festival 2013 has confirmed that it’s moving to Merritt, with the event set for Aug. 22 to 25. The site chosen will be the original Merritt Mountain Music Festival site in the Nicola Valley, just outside the city. “The site offers three stages, on-site parking for your bike and a great setting along the beautiful river,” states the release, also promising a camping area alongside the Clearwater River, as well as a shuttle service to and from town. The release states that the event will feature the Third Annual Sturgis North Burnout, the Second Annual Cabbage Patch Wres-

tling Match plus the first Supernova’s Battle of the Bands, as well as classic rockers Jerry Doucette and Sweeney Todd. Some creditors remain unpaid from the 2011 and 2012 events. Sturgis North officials have not returned recent emails or calls from the Shuswap Market News.

Shuswap Market News Friday, May 10, 2013

A multitude of communities SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman The pattern of early settlement in the Shuswap was influenced by the location of arable land, the modes and challenges of transportation and the early lumber industry, which resulted in a multitude of communities, most of which continue to thrive today. As settlers flooded into the Shuswap between 1896 and 1915, their transportation options anywhere except near the railway were limited as there were no roads. Anywhere near or on the lakes, goods, produce and people were transported by boats, called launches, and by sternwheelers from spring to fall. In the winter, access was across the ice. Nine communities sprang up around the lake, each in a pocket of farmable land separated in many cases by steep, rocky ground. Before there was

much presence of the provincial government, groups of settlers would work together to build the roads they needed. The first road in Salmon Arm that connected the railway station to the Salmon River Valley was begun by the provincial government, but when the allotment of $500 was used up, settlers finished the road with corduroy logs. There was just a rough trail from Notch Hill for the Blind Bay settlers to use, so one of their first tasks was to build a wagon road. On the North Shuswap, five hamlets sprang up from Lee Creek east to Anglemont, and in Seymour Arm agricultural lots were sold with promises of grand orchards. The centre was Celista, where there was a store, a post office, and a school and a large hall was built in 1934. On the south shore, Sorrento, Blind Bay and Eagle Bay each developed as distinct communities with stores, schools and halls. Most of the early Shuswap settlers were English or Scottish. However, one rather isolated area, White Lake, was settled by

Finnish miners in 1910, who were advised to go there by the land agent in Kamloops. They were expert woodsmen and thus they built log structures, including saunas, near the lake where they could access water easily. To finance their homesteads, many of the men left to work in mines during the winters. Along the railway track, communities sprang up alongside the stations needed to service the steam engines with fuel and water. Chase, Carlin, Tappen, Taft and Enderby grew rapidly, as each had large sawmills. Salmon Arm became a regional farming supply centre with access by railway and water. Amazingly, six communities developed east of Sicamous; Solsqua, Cambie, Malakwa, Craigellachie, Taft and Three Valley Gap alongside the tracks and the Eagle River. One of them, Solsqua, was also primarily a Finnish farming settlement. While communities adjacent to Shuswap Lake were just beginning, settlements adjacent to the Shuswap River were progressing rapidly, as this region

had the best farmland and was the most accessible. However, low water in the late summer and fall often made it difficult to ship out the flour milled from the impressive grain harvests and, shortly after the CPR was completed, papers were signed to build a railway from Sicamous to the head of Okanagan Lake. Construction of the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway began in 1890 and was completed in 1892, thus providing a further boost to the communities of Grindrod, Mara and Enderby. Settlement to the east of Enderby was delayed until a logging road was pushed up into the valley in 1908. The small farming communities that developed at Ashton Creek, Hupel, Kingfisher, Trinity Valley and Mabel Lake were also dependent on the labour intensive logging industry. East of Vernon, farming settlement began as early as 1877 in the Shuswap community of Lumby after a road was built to access the mining activity in Cherryville. The dates when the first schools were established show how settlement progressed

throughout the Shuswap, with the best and most accessible farmland attracting the earliest settlers. The first school was built in 1883 in Shuswap Prairie, just west of Chase, which was followed by Grand Prairie (Westwold) in 1888, Fortunes Landing (Enderby) in 1889, Salmon Arm in 1891, Lumby in 1893, Mara in 1896, Notch Hill in 1897, Kault (near Tappen) in 1899, Canoe Creek in 1901, Silver Creek in 1902, Carlin and Hilton (near Cherryville) in 1909, and in 1910, schools opened in the North Shuswap, Sicamous and Seymour Arm. The major wave of early settlement ended in 1915, just after the First World War began. Many settlers enlisted and some never returned. Out of the approximately 41 pioneer communities that at one time had schools – and in many cases, halls, stores and post offices, 31 still exist in one form or another, and thus help define the rural community character of the Shuswap.

Gout is actually a type of arthritis

Are there symptoms of gout? When a person is suffering from gout, the pain will often begin suddenly during the night. This pain can be significant, and many who have had gout have described the pain as throbbing or excruciating. The affected joint may appear warm and red and will likely be very tender, so much so that even laying a bedsheet over the affected joint will prove painful. Attacks may go away after a few days, but many people with gout will have another attack, even if the attacks are years apart. Some may even develop chronic gout, which can lead to joint damage and loss of motion in the joints. How is gout diagnosed? Doctors may conduct a

handful of tests if they suspect you have gout. These tests can include joint Xrays; a blood test to check levels of uric acid in the blood; a urine test to determine if uric acid levels in your urine are high; or a synovial biopsy in which a piece of the tissue lining the affected joint is removed to determine if there are any inflammatory conditions. How is gout treated? If the doctor has diagnosed a gout attack, then he or she might give you a shot of corticosteroids, which will be injected into the inflamed joint to relieve the pain. Other treatment options include prescription medicines or even nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen. Aspirin, however, might raise uric acid levels in the blood, which can make the attack worse. Upon treatment, a gout attack will likely go

away within 12 to 48 hours, though treatment might not prevent another attack in the future. Can an attack be prevented? Prevention options should be discussed with your physician, but lifestyle changes, including changes to your diet, can help prevent another attack. Eating more carbohydrates while limiting how much meat you consume can prevent another attack. Avoiding alcohol is another preventive measure. Men and women who want to lose weight to prevent another attack should do so slowly, as rapid weight loss may result in the formation of uric acid kidney stones. When treated properly, men and women with gout can return to living a normal life. Consult your physician if you feel any of the aforementioned symptoms or if you suspect you might have gout.

What causes gout? What causes uric acid to build up in the body is not always known, and many times excessive uric acid is not harmful. The body can simply make too much uric acid or have difficulty getting rid of it. When too much uric acid builds up in the fluid around the joints, uric acid crystals can form, causing

Who gets gout? Just because a person has high uric acid in their blood does not mean he or she has gout. In fact, many people have higher-than-normal levels of uric acid in their blood and never develop gout. The people most susceptible to gout are those who are overweight or drink excessive amounts of alcohol. People with diabetes, sickle cell anemia or other anemias, kidney disease, or leukemia and other blood cancers may also be more susceptible to gout. Gout is also more common in men, but women, especially those after menopause, can still develop gout. Some medicines, including diuretics, can also bring on gout.

LAURA LAVIGNE

What is gout? Gout is a type of arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in the blood, causing inflammation of the joints. The big toe often bears the initial brunt of the pain resultant from gout, which can cause sudden attacks of burning, pain and stiffness. If these attacks go untreated, they can harm joints, tendons and other tissues. Acute gout will be painful, but likely only affect one joint. Chronic gout may involve more than one joint and is characterized by repeated episodes of pain and inflammation.

inflammation and swelling of the joints.

SHERRY KAUFMAN

Though many people might have heard of gout, few might actually know gout is a type of arthritis. Although less prevalent than other types of arthritis, gout is still somewhat common and can be quite painful just like any other arthritis. People familiar with gout but who do not have it themselves might have had a relative with the condition, which is most common in men. Gout can run in families, so concerned men and women would be wise to understand gout to reduce their risks of developing this often painful condition.

Treehouse gets new home

HemLoft: Salmon Arm builder takes down structure. By Tracy Hughes

MArKet neWs stAff

Salmon Arm’s Joel Allen believes in stories — and he knows all good stories need an ending. The HemLoft, a uniquely beautiful oval structure resting high in a tree on Crown land gained world-wide attention when it was revealed in an architectural magazine and sparked others to search for its undisclosed location. Allen took three years to build the structure, scrounging materials and often sleeping in his car while he created his vision. The structure caused some debate because Allen built it in secret on Crown land, getting no permissions or permits. As the creator of the HemLoft, a secret treehouse he built in the woods of Whistler using primarily free and reclaimed materials, Allen felt it was time to close this chapter of the structure’s lifespan. “All structures that are human-made need to be actively maintained to stay beautiful. I’m not living in Whistler, I have a baby on the way, I knew I could not give the HemLoft the care it needed,” says Allen. So Allen turned Craigslist, the place where he obtained much of the free building materials for the

n Joel Allen and a few friends work to pull apart the formerly secret treehouse that Allen built with mostly free materials on Crown land in Whistler. The story of the HemLoft generated worldwide interest after it was featured in an architectural magazine. structure in the first place. He posted an ad inviting people to provide a new home for the HemLoft. It would be disassembled and then a do-it-yourself project to be reconstructed. Allen got a huge response, with a few hundred inquiries and more than 100 official proposals, including from a university, the BC Children’s Hospital, the Four Seasons hotel and private plans from Nova Scotia and California. In the end, Allen decided to put the HemLoft in the hands of Allan Crawford, owner of Canadian Wilderness Adventures on the tour company’s tenure in the Callaghan Valley, where it will be a feature on the tour’s Medicine Trail for hik-

ers and snowshoers. “Part of the appeal of the proposal was that it will almost be in the same spirit as it was made. People will stumble on across it in the woods,” says Allen. He also felt a kinship with Crawford, who already has re-purposed and reclaimed structures, including an old caboose, as part of the tours. “We’re both grown up kids with big dreams,” he said. “I liked that we had similar values about the HemLoft.” Allen went to Whistler and pulled the structure down mostly by himself, calling the operation dangerous, but strangely satisfying. “Emotionally it was a relief actually, to return the woods to its

natural state. It gave me a real peace of mind and it was cool to just walk away and see the woods exactly as it had been before all of this.” Allen says there was no real sense of loss about the structure. “Everything I experienced with the HemLoft I can carry with me,” he said. Allen is now turning his attention to his new ventures — the custom renovation of a home on 3rd St. SE, the development of a new type of watercraft, the growth of his business looking to specialize in the design and building of small, high quality custom homes and, of course, the imminent arrival of his first child. “I like stories,” he says. “This is going to be a new one.”

Friday, May 10, 2013 Shuswap Market News

She Shoe Swaps sale all set for Saturday What’s lurking in your closet? She Shoe Swaps will happily accept donations of ladies’ gently used (or new) shoes, boots and bags for a huge one day re-sale. Donor’s names are put in a draw for a num-

ber of prizes including a night at the movies donated by the Salmar, a gift certificate from A Flower Shop and a gift certificate from Shuswap Bliss. Donations can be dropped off to RBC, Sears at the Mall at Pic-

cadilly or the offices of Brooke, Jackson, Downs until 4 p.m. today, Friday, May 10. The one-day shoe sale will be held at the Mall at Piccadilly in the former kitchen store (across from Sport Chek) on Sat-

urday May 11. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and close at 4:30 p.m. All proceeds will be divided between two charities: the SAFE Society (Women’s Shelter) and the Shuswap Community Foundation (Rosemarie’s Fund). As the

costs of putting on the event are paid out of the organizers’ pockets, every cent will be given to charity. The event was started last year in memory of Rosemarie Vennard, a wonderful woman who would always think

about others and how to help out a friend. Vennard died in February, 2012 and her daughter Kathryn wanted to make sure that her “can do” attitude continued to be shared. A fund was created at the Community Foun-

dation in her memory for good works in and around Salmon Arm. The first-ever She Shoe Swaps was held in June 2012 earned an amazing $1,500. The organizers are hoping for even bigger and better this year.

n Team BC, including two Chase players, wins the 2013 Aboriginal Hockey Championships in Kahnawake, Quebec.

Team BC claims national gold Three players from the Shuswap brought home gold medals from the 2013 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships. Devon Pearson and Austin Willier from Chase and Darien Head from Salmon Arm helped Team BC make history, winning the province’s first national title in the event’s 12year history. Hosted in Kahnawake, Que., April 29 to May 4, Team BC defeated Team Ontario by a score of 4-3 in the gold-medal game on Saturday evening. “We are so proud

to bring the gold medal home to B.C.,” said Head Coach Joe Quewezance. “It was a great week in Kahnawake. The coaching staff couldn’t be more proud of the players and everyone involved with Team BC. The hard work and dedication was unprecedented and the team dynamics were incredible...” Heading into the tournament seeded fifth in the male division, Team BC gradually climbed the rankings through the week and landed themselves in the semi-finals against Team Manitoba.

After winning 4-3 in overtime, Team BC advanced into its first ever appearance in the NAHC’s gold-medal game against Team Ontario. With just one minute left in the game, Team Ontario pulled their goaltender, which made for an exciting finish with Team BC winning 5-3. Pearson and Willier played their 2012/2013 season with the Chase Heat and Head with the North Okanagan Knights. Both Pearson and Willier attend Chase

Secondary and Pearson is a member of the Little Shuswap Band. Additional highlights of the 2013 NAHC included goaltender Devon Pearson named as an 2013 NAHC Tournament All-Star. “This program is not just about elite hockey, it also about building leaders – both on and off the ice,” notes assistant coach Chief Shane Gottfriedson. “Through this program, we’ve shown that a long term investment in Aboriginal sport not only results in gold medals, it has influ-

Village of Chase SUMMER WATER RESTRICTIONS Effective May 15, 2013 and Until September 30, 2013 Water Restrictions for BOTH AUTOMATED AND NON-AUTOMATED irrigation systems within the Village of Chase apply by Bylaw, on the following basis: Odd Numbered Days – Properties with Odd Numbered Addresses. Even Numbered Days – Properties with Even Numbered Addresses. Apartments, townhouses, mobile home parks, strata units etc. with internal unit numbers should consider their individual unit numbers (i.e. unit #4 waters on even days, unit #5 on odd days etc.) for watering purposes. **Absolutely no sprinkling is permitted on any day between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.** Please note that hand watering of flower and vegetable gardens is permitted at anytime. Without a reduction in usage sufficient chlorine contact time is not achieved that results in a water quality concern. These restrictions should not affect the well being of lawns. Bear in mind the following points: • Frequent watering promotes shallow root growth that in turn requires more frequent watering. • Your lawn can become “addicted” to water. The more frequently you water it the more it requires. • Your lawn requires only 15mm (½ inch) every 2-3 days. You can measure this with pie plates or empty cans. This can greatly reduce the amount of water used. • Watering during the heat of the day is wasteful as the significant majority of the water evaporates before soaking in. • Keep in mind – this is not the west coast of BC. We live in a hot, dry summer climate so your lawns and gardens will be different than those in cooler, wetter regions of BC. • With the implementation of water meters, the more water you use, the more you will pay. It pays to conserve! Residents with automated irrigation systems need to adjust the timing mechanisms of their systems to ensure compliance with these regulations. Please help inform your neighbours and friends of these regulations – they have been the same every year for several years now. To report violations of these restrictions contact the Village Office at 679-3238 or drop by the Village office at 826 Okanagan Avenue. Repeat offenders will be fined $75.00. The Village of Chase and your neighbours thank you for your anticipated co-operation.

Fun for baseball funds Chase Minor Baseball will be hosting their hit-a-thon this Saturday, May 11 to raise money for the league. The event will begin at 11 a.m. at the Haldane Elementary School field, and will provide plenty of fun for the young players as well as a number of ways to donate. The future baseball stars will get a chance to step up to bat and win some prizes throughout the day, in the hit-a-thon contest. This will be taking place by the tennis courts. Each team will hit from a batting tee, or be pitched to, for distance. Each player will be given five pitches and the farthest will be recorded on their pledge form. Players have been asked to find people who would donate according to the longest distance that player hit. All funds raised from this event will be going to repairing the fields and replacing equipment. The league had hoped to hit a target of $25 pledges per child, with all individuals who raised at least this amount being entered into a draw for a $25

Players who raised $50 or more would be entered in a draw for a $50 gift certificate, and all players who raised $100 or more would get a chance at winning a $100 gift certificate. Farthest hitters per team will be awarded prizes. Chase Minor Hockey will be preparing a free picnic lunch with hot dogs, and a pop donated by A&W for all players. Chase Minor Hockey will have their concessions set up for parents and other family members to purchase their lunches. Chase

Minor Baseball will be selling popcorn for $2 and cotton candy for $4. Want to get rid of all of your empties and support Chase Minor Baseball? During the hit-a-thon day, the league will have trucks available for you to drop off your bags of empties. All you have to do is place all your empties in a bag, bring them to the field and toss them in the designated trucks. The trucks will be marked with balloons and will be located in the Art Holding Arena parking lot. All funds will go

towards keeping the league fees low. Those who wish to donate some unused cleats from a former player in your house who may have them kicking around may do so. If your little player has outgrown their old pair, bring them in and see if they can find a pair to replace them. This is the league’s first year doing this event so the quantity may be low. If you have any cleats that you would like to donate, email chaseminorbaseball@ hotmail.ca or call 250574-7108.

Consider the source on vaccines

Sounds of spring

n Members of the Dixieland Band perform in concert with the Salmon Arm Community Band for an appreciative audience Saturday evening at the First United Church.

Living Well Do you remember the old TV commercial that asked the question, “you wouldn’t buy pants from a light store, would you?” The ad was trying to make the point that consumers should go to an expert source that can help them make an informed decision. The commercial ended with a confused man looking down at his pants made of light bulbs. The commercial was funny because it went against common sense. Viewers were left thinking who in the world would go to a lighting store to buy a pair of pants? We are not just consumers of material goods; we are also consumers of information. We gather information to help us make important decisions. When it comes to information about health, it is very important to make sure our sources of information are the experts. Unfortunately, in today’s world, anyone can pretend to be an expert. The subject of vaccines is a perfect example – many people without proper training or credentials have claimed to be experts on vaccinations. To find out if an information source is credible, ask yourself these questions: If it’s a website or document, does it say who is responsible for the information? What are the credentials or training of the person giving this information? Is this source of information trying to also sell a product, service or alternate therapy? Is the information current and is it balanced? Are there scientific experts who can back up the information? Here are a few good sources for balanced and credible information on vaccines: • Public health nurses: Your local public health nurses understand that you may have questions about vaccines and they want to help. Public health nurses have a wealth of knowledge and welcome your questions. Don’t hesitate to give them a call. Visit our website to find a health centre near you. • Immunize BC (http://immunizebc.ca/): The site provides solid, evidence-based information on immunizations plus it has a couple great interactive features to help you get answers to questions. “Chat with a nurse” allows you to login at scheduled chat times, ask questions, and get answers right away. Not a chatter? No problem. Use “Ask us” to email a nurse at any time and get an answer to your question within three business days. You can also view previous questions and answers. Your family doctor: Always discuss the immunization information you have received from the web and other sources with your doctor or health-care professional. Getting the facts about immunizations is important. Check out these tips to help you evaluate immunization information on the Internet at http:// www.caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/immunization_information_on_the_internet, and http:// immunize.ca/uploads/printed-material/imm_info_ internet_2012_e.pdf. -Heather Way is an immunization and communicable disease knowledge coordinator with Interior Health, and Lesley Coates is a promotion and prevention communications officer with Interior Health.

What have they done to Grandpa? H

undreds of seniors are stuck in acute care hospitals and residential care homes – away from their loved ones – because the government cut home care and eliminated home support services. The government has downloaded services to volunteers and eliminated professional home support workers who are trained and accountable in dealing with the needs of seniors. Without proper home support, many seniors are needlessly forced into institutions.

Universal home support

COSCO is calling for universal home care and home support services, based on need, available seven days a week to seniors and people with disabilities. Such a service would allow thousands of seniors to live with dignity and respect in their own homes, close to families and friends. It would cost much less than acute or residential care. It would strengthen our overall public health care system by reducing the pressure on acute care hospitals. As a matter of both human decency and common sense economics, providing universal home support so people can remain in their own homes must be a priority for the next government of our province.

On May 14, please vote for a candidate who will respect seniors and their families by supporting universal home care and home support services

REVEREND JOSEPH HAROLD JAMES On Friday May 3, 2013, at the age of 95, Joseph James was welcomed home by his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and reunited with his wife Ruth who predeceased him in 2001. He was a loving and caring pastor to many over his 40 years of ministry in the Free Methodist Church. He gave unselfishly of himself to fulfill God’s call on his life to spread the gospel of salvation, and to care for all to whom he ministered. He will be remembered by his family for his gentle ways, sense of humour, love of children, and his steadfast example of faithfulness. He was predeceased by two sisters, Francis Mino, Grace Burgoyne, and one brother, Ken James, as well as one son in law, Marlin Hall and two granddaughters, Heidi Hall and Naomi Hall. He is survived by his children Carol Hall, Marge (Pat) Duncan, Don (Terry) James, Joe (Marilyn) James, Sharon (Kevin) Casson, Susan James, Marion (Jim) Nunn, Ken (Theresa) James and Debbie (Rob) Deyo as well as 26 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on Saturday May 11, 2013, at 2:30pm at Broadview Evangelical Free Church, Salmon Arm BC. Arrangements are in the care of Bower’s Funeral Home. Online condolences can be sent through Joseph’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com RODERIC “ROD” HEATH RUTTLE Rod passed away peacefully at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC on Friday, April 26, 2013 at 92 years of age. Rod would say in his 93rd year, this coming from his Finnish heritage of which he was very proud. Rod was born at Kamloops, BC on May 9, 1920 and had been a long time resident of the Shuswap. He had been employed as a Superintendent with BC Hydro for 35 years at the coast prior to retiring to Blind Bay with his wife, Aino. He was predeceased by his brother, Tom, his mother Lempi Patrick (nee Maki), wife Aino and grandson, Dylan Raper-Laing. Rod is survived by his children, Robin (Flower) Ruttle and Lisa Ruttle. Two grandchildren, Rory and Natasha (Nicholas) and three great grandchildren. Rod was an active member of the Power Pioneers and the Sorrento Lions Club and very much enjoyed the time spent with both. There will be no formal service as to Rod’s request. If so desired, contributions in memory of Rod may be made to the Lions Club of Sorrento. Online condolences can be sent through Rod’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

The passing of a loved one, combined with the burden of making the right decisions often leaves a family feeling overwhelmed. We are committed to quality funeral arrangements, peace of mind, dignity and understanding to those we serve through our staff and facilities.

REYNOLDS, JIM Jim Reynolds passed away at his home on May 7, 2013 at the age of 64 years.

V2K 1T4 MARIE ROSE-ANNA GABRIELLE SPICER July 22, 1919 - April 30, 2013 When Gay and Dan Spicer moved to Salmon Arm in 1979, they thought they had died and gone to Paradise. Now, Gay truly is in Paradise. She left us on April 30th to join her beloved Dan, her eldest daughter, Sandra and her six brothers and sisters in Heaven. Gay’s family - her seven children, 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren — as well as her many friends will miss her. Think of Gay in Heaven exchanging jokes with St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, and share a story and a smile with a friend. A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Monday, May 6, 2013 from St. Joseph’s Catholic Church with Fr. George LaGrange OMI Celebrant. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129. EMAIL condolences and share memories through Gay’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservice.com.

MOTHER’S DAY MAY 12 Embrace your mom’s healthy heart on Mother’s Day (NC)—Is the woman in your life a champion at juggling work, kids, her partner and parents? Do you think she puts everyone’s needs ﬁrst and hers last? Does she ensure everyone and everything is taken care of at any hour, despite not having enough hours in the day? If your answer to any of these questions is “yes”, it may also be true that she doesn’t ﬁnd time to pay attention to her own heart health. “Most women don’t know that heart disease and stroke is a leading cause of death for women in Canada,” says Bobbe Wood, president of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and founder of The Heart Truth awareness campaign. “And moms are used to putting their families’ needs ahead of their own. We encourage all women to take action and protect their heart health to make health last, so they can enjoy a long, full and vital life with time and energy for family, friends and personal pursuits.”

This Mother’s Day, families can make sure their moms put themselves ﬁrst by planning a full day of heart-healthy and fun activities, like these: • Start the day with a personalized message: Send a heartfelt message on a custom Mother’s Day e-card, which shares how you’re going to help mom make time for her heart—today and every day. • Serve her breakfast in bed: Mouthwatering breakfast burritos cooked in two minutes and served piping hot in bed could be the perfect healthy start to her day. • Join her for yoga: Yoga improves circulation, keeps blood pressure levels in check, lowers the heart rate, and improves oxygen supply to the body—a great combination to help achieve better heart health. • Pamper her with a spa package: There is nothing like relaxing the mind and body to make her feel ﬁtter and more energetic. And a stress-free mind

“Where Strangers are Friends we haven’t met”

Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet 8:00 am - 2:00 pm

With the brunch all mothers can enter our draw for a 10 Karat Gold Heart pendant and body is good for heart health. • Treat her to a healthy family dinner: There are many heart healthy, delicious recipes to choose from, including lamb stew with mini potatoes, salmon BLT or just good old homemade macaroni and cheese. • Encourage her to seek heart health information: Help your mother learn about prevention tips, warning signs and symptoms, and remind her to ask heart-health related

questions of her doctor at her next checkup. Of course, with mom being mom, she will continue to ensure that groceries are bought, kids are fed and taken to swimming lessons, parents have taken their medication, and she has a stellar presentation for her next meeting. Show her you care on her special day by gifting her a healthy heart using e-cards, recipes and health information from thehearttruth.ca.

Barrelling to another bonanza Barreling back for another year is the Second Annual Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza. It will be in full stride on June 1 and 2 at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. Start time is 10 a.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday. Admission is free. One hundred and sixty-eight barrel racers attended in 2012 with entries expected to rise this year. “With last year’s payout and prizes valued at over $19,000, it helped put the Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza on the map of must-attend barrel races for 2013,” says organizer Chantelle Prentice. “As last year was the first time in over a decade a barrel race was hosted at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds, I had to take pictures of the fairgrounds and put them on Facebook,, as no one knew what the facility was like or where to find it. Now everyone knows how wonderful the facility is and we’re getting more interest then ever expected.” For more information, see Facebook at Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza, or email salmonarmbarrelbonanza@hotmail.com.

when Mom would relax while listening to some of her favorite music on a lazy summer afternoon. Why not take a stroll down Memory Lane and take Mom to see one of her favorite acts in concert? Even if you have outgrown Mom’s musical tastes, she will still appreciate the chance to spend an evening out on the town with her kids and some good music. * Theater tickets: If Mom is a fan of live theater then nothing will elicit a bigger smile than tickets to a

Broadway show she has had her eyes on. If Broadway is a bit too far for you to travel, do your homework and ﬁnd a traveling production of a former Broadway show. Such productions often feature many of the same actors who made the play famous on Broadway so you’re still bound to see an unforgettable show Mom will love. * Parts unknown: Moms who love to travel and experience other cultures would certainly appreciate a trip abroad or a domestic getaway to a region of the coun-

try they have yet to explore.Before booking any such trips, speak to your Mom and ask if there’s anywhere in particular she’d like to go. Such trips can be expensive, so adults might want to speak to their siblings and ﬁnance such an excursion together. * Spa treatment: If Mom is still as active as ever, then a day of pampering at a nearby spa is sure to please. Many luxury spas offer packages, especially around Mother’s Day, that make a fullon spa treatment a more affordable gift. Men and women can even accompany Mom on her trip and reap the rewards of being such a thoughtful son or daughter.
