Spring Cleaning Special

The already celebratory air erupted with cheers and laughter Tuesday night around 9:30 as it became clear that Liberal Greg Kyllo was the Shuswap’s new MLA with 48.05 per cent of the vote. In the unofficial count with all 166 polls reporting, Kyllo captured 11,342 votes followed by NDP Steve Gunner with 6,972 votes (29.53 per cent) and Conservative Tom Birch with 3,045 votes (12.90 per cent). Green candidate Chris George claimed 9.26 per cent of the vote with 2,186 votes and Johanna Zalcik of the Advocational Party took 62 votes (0.26 per cent). Out of 40,400 eligible voters in the Shuswap, 23,607 or 58.43 per cent went to the polls – substantially higher than the provincial turnout which was 52 per cent, said Shuswap District Electoral Officer Ian Watt. Both Kyllo and the Liberal Party defied pre-election polls that had the NDP forming the next government. “I am looking forward to working in government, not opposition,” he said after several congratulatory hugs with ecstatic supporters.

Kyllo’s campaign office was infused with a party atmosphere less than an hour after the polls closed, when the Liberals were already leading in 46 polls. Supporters were gathered around a TV set, reacting to results with loud cheers and laughter. In a quieter corner, Kyllo described himself as being cautiously optimistic. He credited his campaign team for the win, saying no one person could have done it alone. “I am absolutely humbled by the number of volunteers who have come forward,” he said. Beyond the short break, Kyllo says learning the ropes and creating jobs will be priorities. “Only with a strong economy can you have the dollars to adequately fund needed social programs,” he said. With the youngest of four daughters now 18, and his Sicamous businesses in good hands, Kyllo said the time is right for moving into the new challenges a political career will offer. “I have extremely big shoes to fill and lots to learn,” he said. “And I’m up for the challenge.” The big shoes belong to outgoing MLA George Abbott who held the post for 17 years and has provided the new MLA with invalu-

Close race doesn’t materialize

Special sonar used to find body in Shuswap Lake The RCMP dive team recovered the body of a man in Shuswap Lake on Monday. The body was recovered at approximately 1:30 p.m. on May 13 in the vicinity where 59-year-old John Poole, of Calgary, was reported missing from Eagle Bay on May 1. Police are working with the coroner’s service to confirm the identity of the man. The body was located using sophisticated sonar equipment made

available by volunteers from the U.S. Idaho couple Gene and Sandy Ralston volunteer their time and their specialized sonar equipment to find missing people in lakes. Poole’s family contacted the couple after they assisted with the recovery of the bodies of two teen boys from Nicola Lake near Merritt. Poole was last heard from at approximately 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 30 when he text-messaged his wife with a picture

of himself near Copper Island. He was staying at his vacation home in Wild Rose Bay and was seen fishing on Shuswap Lake that day. At approximately 8 a.m. May 1, the man’s boat was found by a resident of the area. It was beached on the rocks and still in gear Police do not believe Poole was wearing a life jacket.

a good campaign. I’ve just called him and congratulated him and we’ll see what happens next time around. “I still feel good. I learned a lot going through the whole process. This is democracy, it’s more important than who wins.” Birch hopes the winner takes seriously the fact that they represent 100 per cent of the people. “I’m sure I’ll be a little more down tomorrow but it’s all the way it has to be, people have spoken,” he said. Green Party candidate Chris George wound up in fourth, saying the results were on track with his predictions. “Pretty much what I was expecting,” he said. “We obviously don’t have the deep pockets of the other parties. We relied on town halls, getting out on door steps, making phone calls and a pretty stiff Facebook campaign.” George was happy to see Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver win his riding, saying these steps are the foundation for a political party. “It’s much of a truism that much of our politics is based on fear and the way that the other parties ran their campaigns, that was very evident,” George said.

she had been nervous early in the day. “I would have been proud of him either way.” At NDP campaign headquarters, a subdued group of volunteers watched as the Liberal lead in B.C. grew. Candidate Steve Gunner, not one to blurt out unreasoned answers during the campaign, held true to form on Tuesday night. “I would hate to look at the big picture just yet. It would take more analysis than we can do at the moment,” he said, adding, “Obviously this is a fairly surprising result for British Columbia, not what we would expect to be getting. I think it’s going to make people a little more skeptical about polls. At the same time, it also says a lot about what can go on in a person’s mind between the time they make a decision and the time they sit in a polling station and have to put pen to paper.” Gunner was highly complimentary of his team and the work they did for him. “I did not think it would be possible to get so many people to work together for so long… It was absolutely humbling and inspiring to see how hard people worked.”

Long-time NDP supporter, Victor Toy, admitted to feeling sickened by the results. “I’m shocked and dismayed that despite the NDP running a very positive campaign of hope, it was lost… It now makes me really question polls. Right down to the very last days the polls were reflecting the exact opposite of what’s happening…,” he said. Despite the disappointing loss, Gunner, who operates an organic turkey and chicken farm with his spouse Andrea, won’t be taking time off to ponder his fate. As she gave him a hug at the end of the evening, she reminded him that there were chickens to be looked after in the morning. Conservative Party candidate Tom Birch landed in third place. Birch was confident heading into the preliminary count and felt good about the campaign. Prior to the results, he said he thought it would be a close three-way race, saying that the high voter turn out and good advanced voting turnout favoured the political right. However, as the votes came in, he was slightly surprised at the gap. “Well, I’m obviously disappointed with the way it broke,” Birch said. “Greg Kyllo ran

A song in their hearts

n Members of the Shuswap Singers combine with the Salmon Arm Secondary Concert Choir to present Goin’ For A Song on May 11 and 12 at First United Church.

Celebrating communication The Shuswap Association of Writer’s “Word on the Lake” is celebrating its 10th annual festival for readers, writers, speakers, and listeners May 24 to 26 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Organizers are billing this year as the biggest, most exciting and widely recognized gathering of the written word in the Interior of B.C. Following suggestions of past attendees, organizers came up with a list of presenters in different areas of writing and publishing. For example, instead of securing the 12 to 14 best writers available, they lined up an editor, a publisher, a script writer and actor, and lyric/music writers. However, the list will again include writers of short stories, humour, fantasy and poetry, along with their staple fiction, non-fiction, adventure and romance. Some of the authors to be featured at this year’s celebration are: George Bowering (Canada’s first poet laureate), Mike McCardell and Kamloops’ own Garry Gottfriedson. With 13 presenters, there will be something of interest for everyone. New this year is a theatre presentation by Lucas Myers, a playwright and actor.

Talented local musicians, Blu and Kelly Hopkins, will give a presentation on writing song lyrics. Being a musician is not a prerequisite. “I’ve read everything from Heidi to Hamlet. I’ve had adventures, gotten lost in complex plots, witnessed intense emotions, travelled to other galaxies, solved mysteries, laughed, cried, gleaned knowledge and answers and more from the written words of a good book,” says this year’s planning co-ordinator Mary Nyland, acknowledging how books have increased her understanding of the human condition. “I get to ask how they put their books together, where they get their ideas and inspiration, and learn what motivates them to sit and write in the first place.” The always-popular Friday night coffee house, the in-house silent auction open to the public, the harbour cruise with the authors, booksignings, blue-pencil sessions for aspiring writers, an abundance of food and lively conversation with the other attendees will all be served up again this year. There are ten $100 bursaries still available. To register, or for more information, call Nyland at 250-8331064 or visit www.saow.ca.

Rising costs burden B.C. families

With food, transportation and housing costs rising, sticking to the family budget is become increasingly more difficult in B.C. According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, it takes two parents earning $19.62 an hour — each — to support a family of four. The annual recalculation of the so-called “living wage” found the hourly rate necessary to cover rent, child care, food and transportation (after government taxes and levies) jumped 48 cents from $19.14 last year — that’s the equivalent of 2.5 per cent, or nearly double the rate of inflation. We all know that housing costs are to blame for some of this burden, but the CCPA study found that rising child care costs, food prices and a four per cent jump in Medical Services Plan premiums were also to blame. The problem is, many working parents don’t even make that “living wage.” How are families coping? Studies have shown there are increasing numbers of families in “core need,” meaning that their housing costs are so high and their incomes so low that they are at constant risk of homelessness. More people are also using the food bank. Other families, whose wages are more in keeping with the limit suggested by CCPA, are making some difficult choices to stretch their dollars. They have given up on the idea of a second car, for example, or the dream of an at-home parent and are turning to creative housing choices. More and more families are living in condominiums and basement suites, and those who can afford to own a single-family home are renting out the basement. Meanwhile, per capita debt, although stabilizing, is still high, suggesting that the Canadian dream, while not dead, is becoming increasingly expensive to maintain. — Black Press

OpiniOn

The best days to go fly a kite As a kid growing up on the wide open, windswept Prairies, I don’t know how many times it was suggested to me that I take an interest in the aerodynamic qualities of tethered quadrilateral flying forms. Actually, I think what they said was “go fly a kite.” Be that as it may, I took their suggestion on numerous occasions and in the process actually learned a few things, not only about the art of kite flying, but also about all the different types of cloud formations. Watching clouds is a science unto itself. It is also an interesting and pleasurable pastime for a lazy, no-good, idle daydreamers such as myself. Mariners and farmers alike – not to mention ardent anglers – all keep a close watch on the clouds. I know I’ve spent many a pleasant hour just watching clouds go by. According to Wikipedia, meteorology is “the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere.” It also says that “meteorological phenomena are observable weather events which illu-

The GReaT OuTdOORs James Murray minate and are explained by the science of meteorology” and “those events are bound by the variables that exist in Earth’s atmosphere such as temperature, air pressure, water vapour and the gradients and interactions of each variable and how they change in time.” Like I said, I just like watching clouds go by. The scientific classification of cloud forms was the invention of an English scientist by the name of Luke Howard back in 1802. He separated clouds by height (low, middle and high altitude), shape (cumulus and stratus) and by the type of weather they brought with them. Modern day meteo-

rologists name clouds by how high in the sky they form and by their appearance. Most clouds have two parts to their name. The first part has to do with their height and the second part refers to their appearance. Clouds which form at the higher altitudes have the prefix “cirro” and middle altitude clouds the prefix “alto” while low clouds have no prefix. Cumulus clouds form at low-levels, less than 6,500 feet/2,000 meters, They are billowy formations that tend to be at least as tall as they are wide with clearly defined edges. (Cumulo means heap or pile in Latin.) They are often described as puffy or cotton-like in appearance and are formed from pockets of rising air on warm sunny days. They are also often the precursors of other types of clouds, such as cumulonimbus, when influenced by weather factors such as instability, moisture and temperature. Cumulus clouds tend to produce little or no precipitation, but can grow into the precipitation-

bearing cumulonimbus clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds can bring lightning, heavy winds and rain and even hail and tornadoes. Stratus clouds are characterized by horizontal layering and are most often described as flat, hazy, featureless clouds of low altitude varying in colour from white to a dark grey. Stratus clouds tend to bring drizzle or light snow. The term “cloudy day” usually refers to a sky filled with layers of stratus clouds that effectively obscures the sun. Cirrus clouds are another form of atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands. They derive their name from the Latin word cirrus meaning ringlet or curling lock of hair. Cirrus clouds most often arrive in advance of other frontal systems and are an indication that weather conditions are about to deteriorate. All in all though, I’d still have to say that windy, cumulus cloudy days are still the best for going to fly a kite.

View point Support not unanimous In response to Dan Baskill’s letter in the Friday, May 3 edition of the Shuswap Market News. First, let’s get things straight here. My four companions and I at least, and there were many others, did not attend the (South Shuswap) Advisory Planning Commission meeting to support you. We were told before we got into the hall, by one of the commission members, that we should keep quiet. We were reminded repeat-

edly that “this is not a public meeting, and you will not be allowed to speak.” It almost seemed as if there was no public right, and your development was “rubber stamped” by this committee. That became more apparent as your inaccurate drawings were commended by other members of the commission. You were “spanked” as you say six years ago when this issue first came into public awareness. High density wa-

terfront has been denied before, and you seem to forget that there are other neighbors who may not want to have their lakefront cordoned off by an oversized dock system. You were asked to cease and desist years ago, and you answered by ignoring that order. By some misunderstanding at the municipality, you were granted dock expansion, and now you want to add in excess of 20 more boat slips, plus 19 park model/RV sites, sites I

understand you would sell to private persons. What does that do for tourism? Private ownership of this property does almost nothing for the passing tourist. The bay is still in jeopardy. Shuswap Lake is still a drinking water reservoir. The only thing that has changed is the list of players. If this is all approved, we can kiss Blind Bay as we know it good bye. Carol Ferguson

Clark’s win confounds the ‘experts’

BC ViewS tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The pollsters, pundits and the self-styled rebels of the B.C. Liberal Party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night. In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election. “Welcome to the club,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators saying she was done. Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s

big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign. Rubbish. Was their long fight against the harmonized sales tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea? “Clearly our message didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,” Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history. That’s rubbish too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bite-sized pieces in a classic front-runner’s campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand government, and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters. Dix’s most dramatic policy shift contributed to his undoing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform cochairs, Dix turned against the proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil tankers in

and out of Vancouver harbour. At least now, more people will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century, and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game. Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the North Coast. Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency, and his goal of a breakthrough didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and northern B.C.

Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing. Dix promised to move B.C. election dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of election campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform. The B.C. Liberals’ much-discussed “balanced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget. This should be the last vote based on an untested budget, and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions. -Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Bringing home bragging rights Tappen volunteer firefighters attended an event in Salmon Arm and returned with bragging rights. Each year the Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department sends a number of crew members to the B.C. Volunteer Firefighters Spring Seminar, which was hosted by Salmon Arm this year. Tappen Sunnybrae fire chief Kyle Schneider, says the event that attracts firefighters from all over the province provides excellent learning opportunities. Six Tappen-Sunnybrae members participated in a number of training courses such as low grade fires, auto extraction, electrical safety, radio communication and more. “Each department basically shares whatever it is that they have been working on,” says Schneider, explaining that each firefighter has their own area of expertise. Schneider explains that just meeting firefighters from other areas of the provinces gives his department a huge advantage. “We can get called to other areas to help battle larger fires,” he says. “By knowing how they do things, and them knowing how we operate, puts us at an advantage and makes it easier in the long run.” As well as training, the event featured two separate challenges, giving the firefighters a chance to have fun and compete against other departments for bragging rights.

The first was the firemen’s challenge that is open to any single crew member. Firefighters run an obstacle course carrying a load of hose up a flight of stairs, pulling a second rope up using rope, pounding a cement block with a sledge hammer, running through pylons in full gear and putting a small ball on each cone, running with a charged hose and finally pulling a 200-pound dummy back to the finish line. Ta p p e n - S u n n y brae firefighter Marc Zinchowsky met the challenging course successfully, claiming second place and coming in just one second behind the first-place winner.

n High water levels are thought to have peaked on the Salmon River. While levels are likely to remain high in the short term, water around De Mille’s Farm Market and other areas is expected to recede in the coming days.

Flooding worries ease for the Shuswap By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

The need to keep children and pets away from fast-flowing streams and rivers remains, but for Salmon Arm at least, flood worries can likely recede. David Campbell, hydrologist, geoscientist and head of BC River Watch, said temperatures of 18 and 20 degrees Celsius have been recorded at snow pillows that feed the Salmon and Adams rivers, speeding up the melt of mid-level snow after a colder-weather delay in April. “We’ve seen that in the small to mid-sized rivers in that terrain and I suspect we’ve reached the peak,” said Campbell of the Salmon River, which had reached the Salmon River

Bridge deck last week. “Levels will remain elevated but I don’t think we’ll see much additional rise.” What happens on the Shuswap and Eagle rivers will depend on a combination of weather and how the upper-elevation snow melts. He says, the Shuswap and Eagle rivers haven’t hit their peak yet as they are fed by higherelevation snow. “The Eagle River is below the level of concern but steadily climbing,” said Campbell. “It will probably drop a bit but it could be affected by rain. Campbell says officials are keeping an eye on the two rivers and reminds residents that last year’s melt was accompanied by frequent intense rainfalls.

Following a helicopter ride above Two Mile and Swansea Point last week, District of Sicamous chief administrative officer Heidi Frank said “there is absolutely nothing to worry about” at this time. “We’re monitoring the creeks and taking precautions to stave off events like we had last year,” she said last Friday. “At this point, there doesn’t appear to be any danger of flooding.” In the meantime, Campbell says Shuswap Lake is still weeks away from peaking. Residents and visitors to these regions are urged to use extreme caution on or near all waterways. Flood waters can be fastrising and fast-moving, carry large debris and make shorelines unstable.

Living WeLL I am lucky to have two sisters that I am close with. However, close doesn’t always mean we see eye-toeye. Last week my sister and I were disagreeing about politics. My sister made a comment that I took very personally. I was so upset I couldn’t even finish the disagreement. Later that night I called my sister back and told her how surprised I was that I was unable to talk while feeling so upset. I see similar reactions in my young children, aged three and six, when they are fighting. The six-year old is taller and thinks faster than her younger brother. When they are

fighting over a toy, she can get her own way by putting it out of his reach. My three-year old’s response is to either hit his sister or start screaming. I catch myself telling them to “use your words” but the reminder on its own doesn’t actually help them to do so. When emotions run high communication is difficult – for both children and adults. When parents teach their children the language and skills to manage emotions, children grow into individuals who have better relationships at school, at home and at work. Here are a few tips to help your children communicate about

emotions: Help toddlers learn the names of emotions (happy, sad, mad, tired, and scared). Talk about your own emotions and the emotions of characters in books and on TV. Help children learn to regulate their own emotions. Show them how to take a few moments to breathe when emotions run high and how to come back when they are feeling calmer. Give children the words instead of telling them to “use your words.” When you see your child expressing himself by hitting or using other unacceptable behaviours, tell him what he could say instead. For example, you can say, “Scott tell Suzie how you feel. Say, ‘when you put the bear where I can’t reach it I feel mad. I want a turn.’”

Teach your children simple phrases that help them talk about emotions. For example “I don’t like that” and “please do something different” are very useful during conflict. Older pre-schoolers and elementary school age children are very capable of explaining their feelings with the formula of “when you ____ I feel _____.” Calmly coaching children to communicate in times of high emotion and modelling these skills yourself can help children become successful communicators. These valuable communication skills help children become good problem-solvers and feel more confident about their relationships with others. -Julie Lewis is a registered speech-language pathologist with Interior Health.

■ Friends of Gardom Lake members Vlado and Helga Vrabac, Dyann Johnson, Stewart Janzen, Gene Dodd and Liz Winter are adamant about the need for a management plan for Gardom Lake.

Gardom Lake plan in demand

Protection: Group concerned about use, water quality. By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Gardom Lake is showing signs of stress again and her friends are looking for a comprehensive plan to improve her health in the long term. Members of the 50-strong Friends of Gardom Lake (FOGL) want a management plan that will deal with a number of issues around increased pressure on the small, shallow, spring-fed lake with a very slow water replacement rate. In October 2009, biologists treated the lake with Rotenone to kill off the fish population due to high numbers of invasive perch that threatened to destroy the ecology of the lake and surrounding area. The lake was restocked the following year and the fish have grown to almost trophy size, which has attracted growing numbers of boats – including gaspowered ones whose removal was supported by an overwhelming majority of attendees at an April 27, 2011 meeting with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. The application was sent to Transport Canada in August, 2011 and a department spokesperson says the application is currently under review but no

timeline for completion has been offered. Friends member and Gardom Lake resident, Elizabeth Winter, was very upset when work was started on a new boat launch at Musgrave Road last fall. She says that out of 571 small lakes managed by Fisheries in Penticton, Gardom Lake, with 5,000 fishing days last year, is the second-most used lake in the area. A Gardom Lake resident since 1986, Winter says traffic on the lake has increased dramatically, in part because of the size of the fish and a new boat ramp would only encourage more people to access the lake. But CSRD Parks manager Marcin Pachcinski says that was never the intention of upgrading the site. He says the current, and informal, boat launch at Teal Road has been used for years but lacks public parking, washroom facilities and garbage disposal. Because the lake has become so popular, the regional district looked at the issue and, as is a common practice, decided to develop lake access with these amenities. Musgrave Road has the most space and an existing local hand launch, which was accessible to canoes or

kayaks but did not accommodate boat trailers. Last fall, CSRD made improvements that included grading the parking area, installation of curbs as well as a washroom, garbage receptacle and a picnic table. “We also planned works to lessen the slope, allowing boats to back up and making access easier,” Pachcinski says. “But posts would have been installed 10 metres away from the water to prevent boat trailers from touching the lake.” He says community members voiced concerns regarding removal of vegetation and that the site would become a regular boat launch. Because of those concerns, the regional district decided to hold off on additional works until an environmental assessment has been done – an assessment that will consider both the Teal and Musgrave road sites. “The reason for that is CSRD Parks does not intend to create a second boat launch – we want to address the lack of facilities and amenities at Teal Road to help relieve the pressure from additional visitors that are already coming to the lake,” he says. “The pressures and issues

already exist, so we are trying to mitigate these issues as opposed to inviting additional people to the lake.” Another Friends member, Denise Hearn, says clouded communication in the recent past has added to the problems. “There was some mix-up in employees in the last year, some miscommunication,” she says. “The PAC (public advisory committee) is also a new body and their exact role between us and CSRD has not been shared. “We were told the PAC represents the community, but they don’t hold meetings and there’s some confusion in the roles at this time.” The Friends of Gardom Lake are adamant in their belief that there shouldn’t be development of any kind on the lake until a management plan is in place – one that includes parks, docks, the environment, wildlife and human impact. For their part, the Friends of Gardom Lake have been assured by CSRD that the consultant will work with them and their input will be reflected in the final report.

From the hill Colin Mayes Along with many of you, I am concerned with the rising national debt. Your government has a plan to balance the budget in 2015 and in spite of low economic growth figures, both globally and domestically, we feel confident we will meet our commitment to you. The president of the Treasury Board, Tony Clement, has cut public service costs, as well as spending cuts in various departments. By reducing travel costs of public servants and elected public servants, modernizing service delivery, cutting the use of paper and cutting programs, we have seen a significant savings of $16 billion. Also, Gail Shea, Minister of the Canada Revenue Agency, has invested in finding those illegally evading taxes. We have already collected over $2 billion in unpaid taxes and have committed to do more to ensure everyone pays their fair share. Closing tax loopholes and improving the fairness of the system has also proven to increase revenue as

well as cut costs. Much of your government’s deficit spending has been invested in key infrastructure. To help the lagging economy it was determined to invest now for tomorrow. The great advantage of this is that, at a time of recession, competition for contracts are very competitive, allowing government to get more for money spent. Investments allow Canadians to see tangible assets for their money. We, in the Okanagan-Shuswap, have been fortunate to see new highway improvements from Armstrong to Kelowna as well as over $200 million spent over the last three years, on the TransCanada Highway in B.C. Although we incurred debt to do these projects, the asset will be with us for decades. Canada’s debt to Gross National Product (GNP) is the lowest in the G7, and not by a small amount. Canada’s debt to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is around 36 per cent, the UK and USA are 90 per cent and Japan 170 per cent. This is a testimony to the Economic Action Plan we put in place in 2009-10 to ensure creation of jobs, economic growth, and future prosperity for Canadians. -Colin Mayes is the Member of Parliament for the OkanaganShuswap riding.

Breast screening set The mobile clinic will be rolling into town May 30 and 31 to provide free mammograms for Chase and area residents. Women aged 40 to 79 throughout the area are invited to come out for screening at the Chase District Health Centre. Those wishing to attend must pre-register by calling the tollfree number 1-800-663-9203 Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., on Saturday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.. or by visiting the website at www.smpbc.ca. There are some restrictions, however. Those who have breast implants or injections cannot register directly but must first go through a doctor to receive a referral. Those who are pregnant or breast feeding cannot receive a mammogram until three months after finishing breast feeding. You cannot register for a mammogram if you have a history of breast cancer. If you have a complaint of a lump or nipple discharge you are asked not to register, but to immediately see a doctor. Finally, if you have had a mammogram in the last 12 months

you are not eligible for SMP service for exactly one year after. Anyone under the age of 40 who is high risk may be able to register for a mammogram but must first see a doctor to receive a referral. Anyone under 40 who is not high-risk is not recommended for screening as breast cancer is generally low in this age group and because their dense tissue matter make it difficult to detect. Screening is available for those over 79 but a doctor referral is required. “This is something that is very important for every woman,” says Dona Dube, a public health nurse at the Chase District Health Centre. Noting that even celebrities such as Angelina Jolie are taking precautions, with Jolie recently having a double mastectomy when she found out she was at risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Dobe did state, however, that the screening is not a diagnostic. “It is a big screen or big net used to pick up changes,” she says. “Breast self-examination is still the best way to go.” The mobile mammogram clinic comes to the area twice a year, and will be returning again

this fall. If you happen to miss the May 30 and 31 dates in Chase, Kamloops does have a yearround clinic available. The mobile clinic will also be visiting Scotch Creek from June 1 to 3 at the North Shuswap Christian Fellowship at 4079 Butters Rd. and in Sorrento at a date that is still to be determined. All normal results will be mailed to either you or your health-care provider within a two week period. Those who are asked to come in for additional testing may not necessarily have breast cancer, but a closer look at a specific area may be required. According to the BC Cancer Agencies web page, 95 per cent of those called for additional testing for not have cancer. Their website also instructs those who do not have a family doctor to try to find one using the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC website at https:// www.cpsbc.ca/. Another option suggested was trying the BC Naturopathic Association website at http://www.bcna.ca/ or the British Columbia Nurse Practitioner Association at http://www.bcnpa. org/.

Don’t throw in the trowel GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

I’m sure one day I’ll be shipped off to the funny farm and it’s only a matter of time now. It’s been 15 years of chipping away at this hillside acreage with virtually no end in sight of the to-do list. It keeps expanding, like the universe, but rather than downsizing or just throwing in the trowel altogether, I just keep right on making it bigger and bigger, to the point where it’s now totally out of control. Am I driven by unseen forces, had an odd unfinished past life, have a defective gene or just possess a birdbrain? Is it passion, pride or pure poppycock? I am a glutton for punishment, and I keep subjecting this poor old body to yet more insults and injuries - a certifiable mental disorder securing me a spot on the sofa at the shrink’s office. For example, I shovel so much soil and sand that my shoulders are screaming at me, lug enough rocks to leave me limp and lacerated and my knees are so knackered from kneeling that I can barely straighten them. And that’s not all!

I’ve been bitten by nasty spiders, had blood siphoned off out it by voracious mosquitoes and been swarmed by ticked-off ants after squatting on their nest. I’ve endured cuts, whacks, blisters, pulled muscles, twisted ankles and headers down the bank. Slivers and thorns have been mined out of tender flesh, eyes deeply probed to extract branch bits and bugs, and heels and hands suffering supersore splits. Fingers have been squashed and pinched, rocks have been dropped on toes and the face soundly smacked by standing on a rake. It’s been exposed and assaulted by all weather conditions, enduring sunburns, frozen extremities and soakings to the bone. I’ve been so bent and busted by the end of the work day, that I can barely stand up to make a meal and so blearyeyed from fatigue I’ve fallen asleep mid-sentence whilst reading a bedtime story. Am I not a carrot short of a full bunch to keep ruining myself like this? My mom warns me about the risks of permanent wear and tear, but I ignore it. My sis shows me stretches, but I don’t do them. A massage therapist insisted I must walk before I work – which I do, but only because our dog demands it. And now my surgeon scolds me about not using a hat and sunscreen, but I still forget them. I buy books, but never read them; take

courses, but rarely adhere to them and stare blankly into the faces of those seasoned gardeners who offer me sage advice. If it’s all guts and no glory, then why do I keep doing this? My mind plays like a record in a juke box that’s skipping on the part that goes: “I gotta, I gotta, I gotta”, and that blasted clock keeps clanging loudly in my head going ticktock, tick-tock, like the sound of the bad old croc in Peter Pan. I run around the yard like a chicken with my head cut off and there are times that my workload is so overwhelming that I just stand in one spot – paralyzed – not sure whether to weed or wind my watch. I no sooner build one wall, only to watch another one crumble. I dig in a living plant, only to watch another die. I know I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, yet I keep loading up my plate higher and deeper, solidly confirming that I’m a few grapes short of a cluster. I blow money on garden stuff, then never use it, and spring for tools, only to lose them. I have a swing, but never sit in it, a

PATRICIA PATIENCE PIGGOTT April 8th 1932 - May 7 2013 81 years Pat was born in Lanor Manitoba to Emily and James Castle, April 8th, 1932. Losing her father at 3 years of age Pat learned how to pitch in. Pat met and married James Piggott on May 13, 1948 where they settled in the Bardel District of Manitoba on the Piggott family farm. The family soon grew and in 1964 Jim took a job with his brother Howard in Salmon Arm where they relocated to their own 5 acre farm. Pat made Jim promise to never move again and Salmon Arm is where they stayed. Pat enjoyed farm life but also worked and volunteered in town. She was a member of the Legion, Pipes and Drums and The Royal Purple. Pat was very well known for her handmade crafts and especially her knitting and in the past few years sold them at winter craft sales. She loved music especially the old classics and spoke fondly of the old time dances. “Nana” passed away peacefully in the morning of May 7th at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. Pat is survived by her husband Jim (not quite 65 years), her children Bill (Cindy), Wes, Ann Laitinen (Peter) and Howard (Brenda), 11 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren of whom she was very proud. Grave side service was held at Mt Ida Cemetery May 10th 2013 and Celebration of Life tea at the Laitinen home followed. Memorial donations in Pat’s name may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 729 Victoria St., Kamloops, BC, V2C 2B5.

GERALD ANTHONY AMBIL November 10, 1951 - May 13, 2013 Gerry died on May 13, 2013 at Bastion Place, with his loved ones by his side. He died as he had lived, quietly and with no fuss. Gerry was born in Revelstoke to Tony and Hulda Ambil, and grew to adulthood there. Growing “tired of shoveling snow uphill,” he moved to Salmon Arm in the early seventies and started a thirty-three year career at Federated Coop Sawmill in Canoe, where he was known to many as Hippie, or just Hip. (In those days his hair was long and went all the way over his head.) After the mill closed he enjoyed working at Jacobson Ford until his illness forced him to retire in September, 2011. Gerry spent many leisure hours at Pro Body Shop, where he was known as PIN. From the age of fourteen Gerry always had a motorcycle, and riding was his great joy from April to October. This was the first year since 1965 that he wasn’t off for a scoot whenever the weather would allow. His many biking buddies will miss him on their rides. Gerry was a true gentleman in his respect for others and his willingness to help anyone who needed a hand. It is a mark of his loyal nature that he maintained friendships formed in childhood, with neighbours, and with co-workers to the end of his life. His common sense approach to problems and his straightforward attitude to life won him respect from a wide circle of friends. He was a loving and considerate husband and father to Diane and her sons. Gerry was predeceased by his parents and a stepson, Peter Urae. He is survived by his wife Diane, and step-sons David and Chris Urae, and by his brother Peter Ambil. A celebration of Gerry’s life will be held on Sunday, May 19 at 1:00 p.m. at Yan’s Restaurant, Gerry’s favourite place to eat. From the time of his diagnosis, Gerry said, “Don’t feel sorry for me - I’ve had a good life. I feel sorry for the kids who don’t get to live their lives as they would want.” In keeping with his wishes, those wanting to make donations in Gerry’s memory may do so to the Cancer Ward of B. C. Children’s Hospital, or to any Relay for Life team. Online condolences can be sent through Gerry’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC.

SHARON HOLLIHAN (Nee STONE) September 2, 1953 - May 6, 2013 The family is sad to announce that Sharon passed away peacefully in her sleep at home at the age of 59. She and Rod had a wonderful 6 year marriage which were some of the best years of their lives. When they met online, Sharon lived in Logan Lake and Rod lived in Fernie. Salmon Arm seemed to be a good choice to relocate. Sharon was born in Kamloops to Isabelle and Alfred Stone. She is fondly remembered by her mother in Louis Creek, siblings, children and many other family members. Children: Shawn Proulx (Jen, Vance, McKayla, Avree) Logan Lake Nolen Proulx Salmon Arm, Nelson Proulx (Alexander, Kaleb, Gabriel) Calgary Stepson Trever (Ashley, Londyn, Madelyn) Lethbridge Siblings: Audrey Gregoire (Barriere) Ellen Proulx (Quebec) Louise Massicotte (Barriere) Deanna Jedyx (Kamloops) Darlene Hempstock (Barriere) Carson Stone (Louis Creek). Sharon’s children and grandchildren meant the world to her. Thanks to a special friend Raymond Massicotte who was always there for Sharon during the many years they knew each other. Sharon enjoyed the people at the Legion, loved the gatherings and meat draws on Saturdays. She was an avid outdoors person who loved hunting and fishing. She and Rod spent many wonderful hours in their boat on the Shuswap. A Celebration of life will take place at the Legion #62 in Salmon Arm on Thursday May 16 from 11 AM to 1 PM. Children are welcome. NO FLOWERS PLEASE. Arrangements entrused to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMTORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. EMAIL condolence and share memories through Sharon’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

The family of Trudy Gerbitz would like to thank Dr. Weiker and all the nurses on the 2nd floor of SLGH for taking such good care of our Mom during her last days. Also a very special thank you to Tammy & Vince Fischer at Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd. for being such great friends and taking such good care of our family. Also thanks for all who sent flowers and cards to the family. ~ From the Gerbitz/Sulphur families.
