Power outage strikes downtown

By Lachlan Labere and Jessica Klymchuk market news staff

Staff of the TD Canada Trust bank in downtown Salmon Arm were forced to evacuate Wednesday morning following the failure of BC Hydro equipment two blocks away.

Sometime before 10 a.m., businesses along Lakeshore Drive were suddenly left with partial power.

Not long after, the Salmon Arm Fire Department received a report of a strong electrical burning smell at the bank on the corner of Lakeshore and Alexander.

Before receiving the page, Fire

Chief Brad Shirley says an electrical “bump” was noticed at the station, and some people reported hearing a loud bang.

Melanie Howard at Beer’s Ladies Wear confirmed this, stating she heard a “big popping noise” before the lights began to flicker just before 10 a.m. She subsequently lost

Corinne Durham at Bumblebeez Boutique had a similar story.

“I have about 40 per cent of my lights and I lost my computer and I lost my phone,” said Durham Wednesday. “I heard a huge bang.

Businesses hurt by outage three-phase power.

“What happens at times like this is different AC or heater or motors or anything that’s three-phase and isn’t getting the whole threephase power, that puts a lot of strain on the different motors and they end up burning out, and

Minutes later, Shirley and fellow firefighters were at the bank. Part of Alexander was closed to traffic while the fire crew attempted to locate the source of the strong burning smell.

“It took some time to determine it was a rooftop unit…, the motor had burnt out,” said Shirley. “We called BC Hydro for related issues as there was a number of businesses in town that were out of power or with partial power.”

With hydro workers on the scene, Shirley said it was soon found there had been a partial power outage in the downtown core, impacting motors in air-conditioning and heating units and other equipment running on

Later that morning the fire department received a report from the Salmar Grand, where a similar electrical smell was noted. Shirley said an electrician was able to shut down any units on three-phase power there to prevent them from having a similar problem. Hydro work-

The source of the outage, said WalkerLarsen, was a piece of BC Hydro equipment connecting to an overhead line behind Living Waters Church.

While there’s never a good time for an outage, losing power at noon was particularly bad for affected eateries.

“I can’t operate, I can’t make any of my soups, I can’t make anything, so it has shut us down,” said Wendy Armstrong, owner of Whimzy’s Brewed Awakenings. “Nothing we can do, we just have to hang in there and be ready to go when they’re ready to go.”

In case of any future outages, Walker-Larsen reminds people they can contact *49376 by cellphone, or dial 1-888-769-3766.

n Photographer Kristal Burgess takes a photo of Jerra Creasy while Erin Ferguson holds the light reflector. This was a sunrise shoot for Rock the Dress where the photographer joined her subject at 4:45 a.m. to catch some unique light and backdrops. Rock the Dress is a fundraiser for breast cancer charities, where photographers, make-up artists and hairdressers donate their time and talent to photograph clients who donate to the cause. This year’s event raised close to $7,000 and the four-year total is almost $25,000. All the proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research. This year 65 women had their pictures taken in Salmon Arm, Vernon and Kelowna, thanks to 25 photographers and more than 30 volunteers.

Gaming centre plans to host open house

By Lachlan Labere

Shuswap residents will soon have an opportunity to learn more about a gaming centre proposed for Salmon Arm. While a specific date has yet to be determined, the B.C. Lottery Corporation and service partner Berezan Management will be hosting an open house in June. BCLC spokesperson Kim Steinbart says the purpose of the meeting is to share the plans for the community gaming centre being proposed by the Adams Lake Indian Band, to be located on

the Trans-Canada Highway at the former location of Salmon Arm GM. “People will have the opportunity to learn more about BCLC and our partners, and view renderings of the upcoming development,” says Steinbart in an email. “We’ll also share more details about the entertainment options that will be available, and the responsible gambling programming we offer in all gambling facilities across the province.”

The centre is expected to be about 20,000-squarefeet in size, and include slot machines, bingo, a lounge and a restaurant.

Retired MLA creates new consulting firm George Abbott is taking on another new role in the wake of his retirement as a provincial MLA. Abbott has helped establish a Victoria-based consulting firm, to help advise people on how to get what they need

from government. Called Circle Square Solutions, the firm’s mission as stated on its website is “Squaring the circle of complex public policy challenges with practical and innovative solutions.”

In addition to consulting work, Abbott is also available for speaking engagements.

Abbott has also returned to his roots as an educator, teaching a course on public policy at the University of Victoria.

A Columbia Shuswap Regional District director has resigned as chair of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process steering committee.

While Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan stepped down Thursday, May 23, he will continue to sit on the committee.

“I resigned as chair of the SLIPP Steering Committee, as I did not want to continue to be drawn into an increasingly divisive debate over the direction of SLIPP,” Morgan said in a written statement.

Created in 2007 in response to concerns regarding numerous issues impacting the Shuswap watershed, SLIPP is comprised of stakeholders from various levels of government and environmental groups, who committed varying amounts of funding to a three-year pilot project.

The project is now in its third year.

“They were trying to push it ahead and I just thought we were getting ahead of ourselves,” Morgan said in a phone interview last week. “I am reserving judgment on any decision on the continuation or funding of SLIPP for the future.”

Morgan was op-

posed to a proposal to send out a survey to gauge public approval for SLIPP. “My argument was surveys can be manipulated,” he said. “It boiled down to the fact certain people are more supportive than I am.”

Morgan said that at $90,000 a year over the three-year project, Area F is the second largest contributor to SLIPP, after Area C South Shuswap, which is in for $142,000 per year.

the information needed to make decisions.

“I am waiting to see and evaluate and bring that to council,” she says.

Shuswap Water Action Team (SWAT) president Ray Nadeau, says it’s important to get a decision on moving SLIPP forward prior to September because the regional district will be in the budget process for 2014.

Without a decision on funding, he is worried the project will

“I am reserving judgment on any decision on the continuation or funding of SLIPP for the future.”

-Larry Morgan, former chair of SLIPP

“Other areas are paying a lot less and Salmon Arm contributed a small amount last year and this year, and Sicamous is contributing nothing this year,” he said.

“From the Area F standpoint, we need to see funding done on a more fair basis in terms of population or a transition to some other organization.”

Defending Morgan’s position, interim chair and Salmon Arm mayor, Nancy Cooper, says the steering committee does not yet have all

simply slip under the waves.

“So far the results of SLIPP show the water is clearly beginning to deteriorate and, in my opinion, we need a permanently-funded water board similar to what they’ve had for 40 years in the Okanagan,” he says, pointing out a healthy economy is dependent on a healthy watershed.

“Some people are against SLIPP because they fear they’ll lose the ability to do whatever they want on the water.”

The Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life is takes to a new track Saturday, June 8.

With 31 teams and 261 participants, the nautical-themed relay will be, “Drowning out cancer one wave at a time.”

The Credit Union Crewzers, a longstanding team, are participating for their ninth time.

This year they have their biggest team yet with 17 members.

And, including money raised so far this year,

COMING EVENTS

the Crewzers have raised $87,250 for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“It’s another way we can support our community.

We’ve had people on staff who have had cancer and we support them and they support us,” Verburg said. “Cancer is such a big thing it’s something that a lot of people have experienced or had it in their lives so (Relay for Life) is a good thing that people want to help out with.”

In the spirit of fundraising, the Crewzers have shaved staff member’s heads, organized garage sales, held basket raffles, 50/50 draws and hosted their mem-

ber barbecue.

This year the barbecue drew a crowd on May 30.

The team also plans to hold a barbecue to celebrate the opening of the credit union’s uptown location, with proceeds going towards their fundraising for next year.

On Saturday, June 8 Relay for Life start-up entertainment will begin at 5 p.m. with Megan Able. From 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. there will be a survivor victory lap and teams will start their first lap. From 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Ryan Guilbeault will entertain.

Support for those who grieve The Shuswap Hospice Society is offering various support groups for individuals and families struggling with grief and or a lifelimiting illness.

The Parents Bereavement Support Group is for parents who are coping with the pain of the loss of a child.

This group helps parents find their way back to living after experiencing the death of a child.

The group addresses the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual challenges that accompany the pain of the death.

This group is for parents who have lost a child of any age.

The Parents Bereavement Support Group meetings will be held at the Shuswap Hospice Society office Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.

The society is also looking to start a Palliative Support Group, specifically for those individuals who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and a Care-Giver Support Group, specifically for caregivers.

Support groups are free and offer a safe space to share expe-

riences and to learn that you are not alone.

Concerns of feeling alone, helpless, overwhelmed, angry and any other emotions are discussed.

Support groups provide an opportunity to feel understood, possibly for the first time and to both give support and receive support from others.

“The jungle is a very scary place when there seems to be no way out,” says program coordinator Judy Evans.

“We can help.”

Dismissive attitude to treatment must stop

We don’t talk about the real threats to our children.

Most parents worry when their children begin driving. They warn teens about the risks.

In 2011, despite that care and concern, 291 British Columbians died in car crashes.

That same year, 526 people took their own lives—80 per cent more than those killed in car crashes.

Road crashes don’t come close to taking the toll of mental illness and problem substance use. Why don’t we, as a society, urge parents to have serious talks with their children about those risks?

Stigma, in part. No one tells cancer patients to buck up and wish their infirmities away. But people with mental illness routinely face prejudice and a dismissive attitude.

People who have an obvious illness tend to get help. At the least, emergency rooms provide urgent care. Those with a mental illness and substance abuse issues face a much tougher reality.

The ER staff aren’t at fault. They send people away because there are no treatment spaces.

The community social services sector plays a huge role in addressing mental illness and substance abuse. But every day, we turn people away, or place them on long waitlists. Budget freezes and cuts and a lack of integrated responses have created a crisis. The cost is enormous. A 2010 study estimated the cost to the economy due to lost work days was $50 billion a year. Add the damage to families, the costs of homelessness and health care and the total rises sharply.

A new government has the chance to address these serious problems, providing leadership, adequate resources and a collaboration strategy linking health and the social services sectors.

We should make sure that mental health and problem substance use services step out of the shadows.

OpiniOn

Each year it seems to get better The water level in Shuswap Lake is on the rise, and last weekend I saw a couple of pretty good-sized carp swimming around in the water at the end of the docks at Marine Park.

I also happen to know that everything is in place and ready to go for the upcoming 17th Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby, to be held Father’s Day, June 16 down at the wharf. Between now and then I expect to see a number of young anglers down at the docks ‘testing the waters’ so to speak – trying out different spots along the dock area and using different types of bait and lures at different depths.

The Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby is open to all children 12 years of age and under. There is no cost to enter the derby.

Registration takes place Sunday morning, beginning at 6 a.m., at the end of the wharf. The only restrictions are that each child must be accompanied by an adult and, each child must wear a life-jacket or PDF. Six certified lifeguards are on duty

ThE GrEaT OuTDOOrs James Murray throughout the event. Some life-jackets are available for children who do not have one. Only coarse fish are eligible for trophies and prizes, and, fish must be caught and played by the child – an adult, however, can assist in netting a fish.

An awards ceremony will take place immediately following the derby at the end of the wharf where the trophies and major prizes will be handed out.

The winner of the annual Kids Fishing Derby will receive the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union W. J. (Bill) Murray Memorial Trophy, an IM-6 graphite rod and reel outfit, a $200 RESP Education Bond -

and they will get to take their whole family on an all-expenses-paid, weekend fishing trip to Beaver Lake Lodge. This will include accommodations, boat and motor, and $100 worth of groceries. Second- and thirdplace winners will receive trophies, rod and reel outfits and RESP Education Bonds.

The lucky angler who lands the first fish of the derby, will receive the Westside Stores Trophy, a rod and reel outfit, a $100 RESP education bond sponsored

by Rotary Club and a $100 gift certificate from Westside Stores.

Two anglers who catch fish closest to predetermined “secret weights” will have their names scribed on the Canadian Tire Trophy, and, will win a new mountain bike. The angler who catches the most fish will receive the City of Salmon Arm Trophy, a rod and reel outfit, a $100 RESP education bond sponsored by Rotary Club and a one year pass to the swimming pool.

There are also a whole whack of other great prizes

given out throughout the derby.

As in previous years, there will also be the special Parent Appreciation draw prize.

Adults receive one draw ticket for each child they register. At the awards ceremony, one lucky person will win a fully decked-out barbecue with all the accessories, as well as, $100 worth of groceries.

And don’t forget the School District #83 “Fishing Story” contest, sponsored by the Salmar Theatre, that is held in conjunction with the derby. Students from elementary schools in the area can submit an original fishing story – true or as farfetched as they can make it.

The winner of the Best Fishing Story receives a $100 RESP education bond, a one-year pass to the show and, as well, everyone in their class at school will get a one-time pass to the show.

Each year the derby just seems to get better – and if the weather holds out, this year promises to be another great derby with lots of prizes and lots of fun.

Dock issue has dramatic economic implications I cannot express the level of frustration I feel at once again having my dock building season stalled by pencil pushers.

This shocking order to remove marine docks is ridiculous. So I could pass on accurate information to my customers, for years I have asked specifically and repeatedly about docks being grandfathered. I was repeatedly told that all current dock owners would have grandfathered protection to their investments.

Are these decision-makers wanting small business own-

ers to give up and to kill Shuswap tourism?

Forget reducing vehicle traffic and hello to 2,000 more vehicles at public mooring spots and parking their cars where?

This affects all businesses from coffee shops, to realtors, to grocery stores, to tradespeople... everyone. And where are these docks supposed to go? And who are the new enforcers? And who is paying their wages? The dock owners, local businesses, taxpayers?

It is wonderful to learn from

past mistakes and to gradually set out new guidelines but not with knee jerk bullying.

Many of us have been deeply concerned for years about protecting the environment, the lakes, the watershed, the fish, the birds... our little piece of paradise.

The real problem is irresponsible people putting boats, houseboats, docks, pilings, buoys etc. into our waters and then leaving them there to rot into dangerous eyesores.

Or worse still, making mega buoy parking lots. But

this knee jerk reaction is not a solution.

I am a person wanting to protect the fish and wildlife but who is there to protect the people now?

In my opinion, this “tunnel vision governing” is speeding up a collapse of our society by government at various levels not listening to the people and forgetting they are in their positions to represent the people... not to lord it over them!

South ShuSwap

Director sums up spending Director’s notes Paul Demenok Where does the money go?

The answer to this question is both simple and complex. The simple answer is taxes collected from Area C (South Shuswap) properties are spent on services provided to its residents.

While it is a common misconception, property taxes collected from Area C residents are not diverted to provide services to other areas.

A unique aspect of regional government in B.C. is use of the principle of “fiscal equivalence.”

In short, when services are delivered to a group of people, that group of people must cover the costs.

This sets up the complex answer to the question above.

When services are shared across a regional district, an electoral area, a sub-electoral area or within a subdivision, there needs to be a way to fairly allocate the taxes collected from all of the populations serviced.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District budget for 2013 includes allocations for 911 administration, emergency telephone services and solid management. waste These costs are shared across the entire CSRD based on property tax assessments.

Electoral area budgets include allocations for electoral government administration, enforcement, bylaw GIS/mapping and deservices. velopment expenditures These are shared across all electoral areas, based on property tax assessments.

Several budget items are allocated within Area C, and these directly fund such services as Area C parks, First Responders, transit, dog control and grants-in-aid.

Area C, along with other electoral areas municipalities, and shares in the costs of services that benefit their populations, and examples of these include the Emergency Preparedness Program, Shuswap Regional Airport, Milfoil and Weed Shuswap Control, Tourism and Economic Development.

Area C also contributes to the multirecreation purpose centre in Salmon Arm as some of its residents also utilize that facility.

Local services are funded by taxes col-

lected within a specific region of Area C. Examples of these include Area C SubRegional Fire Suppression and street lights in Blind Bay. Parcel taxes are collected as a flat costsharing rate per parcel to fund specific services such as Cedar Heights Waterworks, Eagle Bay Waterworks and Sorrento Waterworks.

Your annual Rural Property Tax Notice provides you with a description of how your tax dollars are allocated.

The tax notice shows amounts allocated and collected by the province to cover school and police services, as well as the provincial rural tax. There is also a description of the

local services which represent expenditures by the CSRD on your behalf.

Allocation of budgets are done on a mill rate basis, which is a factor multiplied per $1,000 assessment of your property to generate a taxation figure.

For 2013, the key residential mill rates affecting Area C are as follows: • Total Regional Government 0.251; • Total Electoral Government Area 0.399; and • Total Area C Functions/Services 1.253.

In addition to the above, your property tax notice may include mill rates for a local service you receive such as street lights and fire protection.

SPCA honours volunteer Blind Bay resident Pat Lagimodiere has been named the 2013 Volunteer of the Year by the non-profit British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The BC SPCA Awards Program honours both people and animals who have made outstanding contributions to animal welfare during the past year.

Lagimodiere was chosen as one of two volunteer award recipients for her years of hard work and compassion.

Lagimodiere has been a committed volunteer at the Shuswap Branch since 2000, and was presented with the award at a ceremony in Vancouver May 31.

“Pat’s contribution to the shelter has been integral to its operation, the adoption of animals and fundraising,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. Lagimodiere serves on the branch’s community council and has helped recruit donors and participants to the society’s

The area was originally a Dutch colony and was preparing to gain its independence in 1961 when Indonesia took over. Since this time, Bally said, there have been ongoing human rights issues as well as economic issues.

Settlement linked to forestry the Black Prince, the son of King Edward III. He likely came to British Columbia in the 1850s and helped build the last Hudson’s Bay Fort in Kamloops in the 1860s. In 1880 he preempted 320 acres at the head of the arm named after him, where he logged and cut shakes and shingles that were rafted on to Kamloops.

The first major sawmill in the Shuswap was built by the Genelle brothers in 1886 at Tappen Siding adjacent to a convenient beaver pond close to the railway.

It supplied ties and timbers to the railway as well as lumber for snowsheds, stations, warehouses and homes for the section men and managers.

In 1894, The Genelles relocated the mill to a narrow strip of land alongside the lake they named Kault after the name for the local Indian settlement.

The Genelles operated a floating logging camp that moved around the lake poaching timber, which was towed in booms to the mill, by the S.S. Thompson sternwheeler.

They were also careless in providing the stumpage fees and eventually the government forced them out of business and they sold the mill to the Columbia River Lumber Company in 1898, which ran it until 1910.

Small portable mills operated in the Salmon Arm area beginning in 1892 to cut the timber cleared from the Salm-

ShuSwap paSSion Jim Cooperman Despite the obstacles that many settlers encountered in gaining title to their homesteads due to the rights held by timber companies, the success of settlement in the Shuswap was due in large part to the contributions to the economy by the forest industry.

From when some of the first trees were felled by Francis Anstey in 1878 until the Second World War, there were four eras of forestry beginning with some timber cutting for the Shuswap Mill in Kamloops; a few mills supplying lumber, timber and ties for building and maintaining the railway and for local construction; demand for lumber in the Prairies giving rise to high-volume sawmills in strategic locations, many owned by large American companies; and an industry focused on poles and ties due to the lower demand for lumber.

Shuswap Lake’s Anstey Arm was named after Francis Anstey by George Mercer Dawson in 1888. Born in England in 1830, Anstey was a legend in his time, a 6 foot 6 inches tall, powerful man who often mentioned he was a descendent of

on River Valley and the nearby benchlands.

Brayden and Johnston built a larger permanent mill on the west side of the Salmon River in 1904, which soon became the town’s largest employer. For two decades there was an annual spring river drive when upwards of 100 men worked from two weeks to a month in the frigid water directing the logs downstream. Not only were the banks of the river damaged, but also many salmon fry were likely killed.

In 1906, the Columbia River Lumber Company relocated its sawmill from Carlin Siding, named after Mike Carlin, a successful lumberman, to

“For most Shuswap rural communities, farmers depended on forestry-based income to make ends meet.”

White Creek west of Tappen.

There were no shortages of calamities for this mill. In 1901, a high trestle built over Broderick Creek to relay ties and lumber to the siding collapsed killing two men.

Media overhypes extent of war Global Views Gwynne Dyer Imagine for a moment that all the wars of the world have come to a peaceful conclusion.

Most violent crime against people and property has also been eradicated.

The worst outbreak of violence in the world in the past 24 hours has been a fight in a bar in Irkutsk, Russia.

What item do you think will lead the international news for the next 12 hours, or however long it takes until something fresher come along?

The bar fight in Irkutsk, of course.

“If it bleeds, it leads,” says the axiom, and the world’s media follow it slavishly, so they will always give you the impression the world is drowning in violence.

It is not — but people think it is.

Stop people at random and ask them how many wars they think are going on in the world right now. Most people would guess about a dozen, although they wouldn’t be able to name them.

The right answer is two — and one of them, Afghanistan, is probably approaching its end.

There are close to 200 independent countries in the world and only one in a hundred is currently at war. They are both primarily civil wars, although there is some foreign involvement in each case.

The Syrian civil war is extremely destructive of lives and property, the war in Afghanistan less so and, in both cases the fighting occasionally slops over their borders, but that’s it.

There are a number of other countries where there is a lower level of civil conflict: The Democratic Republic of

Congo, for example, or Colombia (although the latter is now engaged in peace talks to end the 50-year conflict between the state and the FARC guerrillas).

But, the Sri Lankan civil war is over, the Iraqi civil war is at least over for the moment and the many little wars of West Africa are all over.

Then there is Somalia, the world’s only failed state, where 20 years of violent anarchy may finally be drawing to an end. But, the actual scale of the fighting has rarely risen to a level that would qualify what has been happening there as a full-scale war.

Not, at least, what would have qualified as a full-scale war back in the days when that sort of thing was still common. Most of the time, Somalia’s conflict has been more like gangland wars on steroids.

There is terrorism in various places, like Boko Haram’s bizarre campaign to impose Islamic law on Nigeria (where only half the population is Muslim), the Pakistani Taliban’s campaign of murder against their Shia fellow citizens and the Naxalites’ long and forlorn struggle to make a Communist revolution

in India.

All nasty, but none of them real wars.

And there is, finally, the famous “war” on terror, which these days amounts to little more than over-zealous law enforcement at home and selective assassination by drones abroad.

Like the “war” on drugs in Mexico, it is only a metaphor for an activity that is not really a war at all.

So, that’s it — two real wars and a clutter of lesser conflicts that really do not merit the term.

In a world of sevenbillion people, only a few hundred million have even the slightest experience of organized violence for political ends.

Why, then, do so many people think that the world is still overrun by war?

The media are partly to blame, but they are also manipulated by various governments that raise the spectre of war for their own ends.

Wars that have not happened and are never likely to fill the imaginations of the public: A war in Korea, a U.S. and/or Israeli attack on Iran, Western or Israeli intervention in Syria, a war between China and southeast Asian countries over islands in

the South China Sea, a U.S.-Chinese conflict in the Pacific and on and on.

A lot of people, some in uniform and some not, make a living off these mostly phantom fears and they contribute to the general impression that the world is still a place where war, however deplorable, is the normal state of affairs.

It is not.

We live in an era where, for the first time in history, no great power genuinely fears attack by any other and where the number of actual wars can be counted on the fingers of one badly mutilated hand.

Almost 90-million people died in the world wars and other big wars (including the Russian, Chinese and Spanish civil wars) of the first half of the 20th century, out of a world population that was one-third of what it is now.

In the second half of the century, the death toll dropped steeply to 25 million or so, most of whom died in colonial-independence wars and civil wars.

So far, in the 21st century, the total is less than one-million people killed in war. What we have on our hands here is a miraculous and mostly unsung success

story. There will doubtless be more wars, but they may be small and infrequent.

We are obviously doing something right.

We should figure out what it is — and do more of it.

Salmon Arm fights back during Daffodil Month

C

itizens of Salmon Arm united in the fight against cancer this April during the Canadian Cancer Society Daffodil Month, making the annual campaign a great success.

More than $9200.00 was raised during Daffodil Month in Salmon Arm through the sale of fresh cut flowers and daffodil pins.

Today, over 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least five years after their diagnosis, thanks in large part to Society-funded cancer research. That’s more than double the survival rate in the 1940s. In addition to funding life-saving cancer research, money raised during Daffodil Month funds vital support services for people living with cancer, prevention initiatives and advocacy for healthy public policies.

“The people of Salmon Arm joined the rest of the country in showing its support on Daffodil Day by wearing the daffodil – showing cancer we’re not afraid to fight back. On April 12th, the Salmon Arm Unit officially celebrated 75 years as a unit and in conjunction with the Canadian Cancer Society celebrated this milestone by inviting local dignitaries and the public to an Open House.

We would like to thank the businesses, media, the citizens of Salmon Arm, and our generous volunteers for their ongoing support.

Outdoor focus for Carlin Strong Start MARKET NEWS STAff

For many people childhood memories involve the outdoors – on a bike, in the sandbox, with sidewalk chalk on pavement. The outdoors provided endless materials for creative opportunities.

The StrongStart Outreach program’s new location, Carlin Elementary, will be a pilot program for “natural play” which supports creative and open ended play with natural materials and limited plastic.

“The sad reality is we’re living in this digital world, and there’s a lot of positive things about technology but what we’re noticing is a lot of families, and kids especially, are going way over and spending so much time in front of the screen that they’re having difficulty just

developing those social and emotional skills,” said Jennifer Findlay, early learning co-ordinator for School District #83.

Jennifer Findlay StrongStart is a provincial-wide program that provides play-based learning opportunities for children newborn to five years old and their parents or caregivers. The StrongStart outreach program offers the opportunity for families in rural communities to benefit from StrongStart.

Carlin Elementary is

the newest addition to the Outreach program after community participation in early learning activities such as North Shuswap Community Resources Association’s swimming lessons and the Mother Goose early learning program.

“We knew that there was definitely a need out there for families that were wanting some early learning programs,” Findlay said.

With the blank canvas of a classroom at Carlin, Findlay has been working closely with Bridgitte Alomes, CEO of Natural Pod, to create a natural play space that encourages imaginative play. With the environment considered a teacher, materials will be natural such as wood blocks, fabric, wool, rocks. Natural play helps to develop sensory exploration in

addition to creativity and imagination.

By providing simplistic toys children have the opportunity to explore the possibilities of it rather than the purpose being straight forward.

“In Fletcher Park playground there’s this counter space and kids will use pine cones and rocks and be selling their eggs or ice cream cones,” Findlay says.

“They make it up and it’s just all that more creative than the plastic stuff they’re given.”

Carlin provided the perfect opportunity to create a natural play space from scratch, but Findlay hopes to incorporate it into the other StrongStart programs.

For the 2013/2014 school year, StrongStart will run for three hours five days a week at Salmon Arm West Elementary, Downtown

Aboriginal graduates celebrate achievements

“Our Culture, Our Life, Our Time, Our Turn” was the theme of the School District #83 Aboriginal Graduation Celebration held at Pleasant Valley Secondary School in Armstrong on Wednesday May 29.

The touching and humorous evening included the presentation of several awards,

including two $500 scholarships sponsored by the First Nations Education Council.

The 2013 winners were Kayla Butts of Salmon Arm Secondary and Sarah Rose Munro of Eagle River Secondary.

ERS valedictorians were Jessica Germaine and Munro. SAS valedictorians were Sage

Tomma and Dakota Simpson. Dylan Simpson of SAS and Munro were given academic awards. Butts and Germaine received cultural awards. Jasmine Hare of SAS received a social award.

“Go out and walk with honour,” Bonnie Thomas, daughter of the late Dr. Mary Thomas, advised the

grads in her address to the graduating students. Thomas said her mother often reminded youths that they needed to be self-disciplined and advised them to think about how they want to present themselves to others.

“Look and see what difference you can make in your community.”

Grieving fathers have place to share

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Some 31 months ago, Ron Hardie’s life was plunged into grief.

His 39-year-old son Brian was killed in a car accident, leaving behind Brian’s wife, three children, a brother and his parents.

It had all seemed so normal. Brian had stayed with Ron and Penny for about 10 days while he did some work for a friend.

He was heading home on a Friday night in October 2010 to see his wife and children.

Instead, Ron and his wife Penny got the call that would forever change their lives at about 4:30 the next morning.

“Utter horror, you just can’t believe it happens,” Hardie says of his reaction to the news that his son had died at the scene on the Coquihalla Highway near Hope. “We were kind of numb for the first few hours. It’s so hard

to wrap your head, your thoughts, around that.”

Like other people lost in grief, the Hardies were faced with the difficult process of dealing with their son’s death in practical terms.

“What has to be planned? Where do we go? Who do we call, who do we tell?” he says. “There is no training.”

For the next year the couple tried to cope with their grief on their own.

“You just don’t know what to do, who to talk to,” Hardie says. “We found that most of our friends had already moved on; they didn’t want to talk about it anymore. But it was such a big thing in our lives.”

Hardie had heard about Compassionate Friends from his sister in Winnipeg and when he saw an advertisement in the Vernon Morning Star, he and Penny decided to give the group a try.

What they found was

that there were people who were still grieving for their lost children up to 12, even 20, years later.

“We could see the pain on their faces even after all that time,” he says. “We found that it’s OK to grieve. People still talked about their lost children, it didn’t matter how long it was.”

“We found that it’s OK to grieve.

People still talked about their lost children, it didn’t matter how long it was.”

-Ron Hardie When the Hardies heard that Cathy Sosnowsky had started a Salmon Arm chapter of the international support group for bereaved parents, the couple began attending here too.

“You can speak about anything you want

without being interrupted,” Hardie says, noting that nobody else is allowed to interrupt or even to pass the speaker a tissue – attention is undivided. “I’m sure if you asked anyone who goes there they would tell you it’s a good thing.”

Stronger now, Hardie says he and Penny believe it is important to share their strength and compassion with other bereaved parents.

While society seems to support the tears of a grieving woman, Sosnowsky says people tend to expect stoicism from men and be embarrassed by their tears.

In honour of Father’s Day, Sosnowsky says Compassionate Friends will put aside some time for a “men-only” sharing circle at their June 11 meeting so bereaved fathers can tell their stories and express their feelings to each other.

Compassionate Friends meet on the second Tuesday of ev-

ery month at 7 p.m. at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, 1981 Ninth Ave. NE (by the bowling alley).

For more information, call Cathy at 250832-2454.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Improving the quality of life for seniors with video conferencing

By Byron Miki Each day more and more seniors are turning to online technology for solutions to a wide variety of needs. Beyond the obvious Google searches for weather, news and entertainment, Seniors are using Social Media apps to connect with friends, family and a growing assortment of professionals.

One really neat solution is video conferencing. Common for years in many corporate boardrooms, now, many seniors are turning to applications like Skype to connect online from the convenience of their home.

Skype is an easy, cheap solution that can be set up in most urban homes. It is even easier for seniors living in Independent Living residences where trained staff can easily assist seniors with the setup and use of this form of communication.

The benefits of online video conferencing for seniors are many. Here are a few benefits that may encourage more seniors to use these new and easy technology:

1) Convenience. No need to travel to appointments for consultations or social visits. Many seniors are not mobile and hopping in a car or on public transit is not a convenient option for them. With video conferencing, important or sensitive conversations can be

How will you spend the last 10 years of your life?

Will you be vital & active or sick & decrepit?

Do you know that you can influence that choice dramatically? Do you realize that you are not at the mercy of your genes? If you are already suffering with chronic illness and/or symptoms the Health Risk Assessment (HRA) will determine how your past and current lifestyle and environments are causing your chronic illness and/ or symptoms. If you are without diagnosed illness or symptoms, the HRA has the unique ability to identify if you are at risk before you experience illness or disease.

Complete the Health Risk Assessment for $25 and then let us show you proven techniques to lower your risk and improve your quality of life, regardless of your current condition.

held without leaving their home. Some seniors are now able to meet with therapists, counsellors, teachers and even students from the comfort of their homes.

2) Cheap solution to travel. The cost of travel is rising and this prevents many seniors from visiting friends and family. On the other hand, high speed internet connections are becoming more affordable, especially when bundled with other services such as TV and phone. Skype to Skype connections are free.

Conversations can occur at any time and for as long as desired.

3) Private. Seniors have the option of conducting conversations when they are ready. Just like a phone call, you are not required to

answer an incoming call.

You can always take a moment to tidy up a room or comb your hair prior to returning a call. You can even conduct the call without the camera on.

4) For family and friends, a visual connection helps to affirm the basic health of their elderly friends. Are they losing weight, or gaining weight?

Are they messy, or dirty?

Both communicators can easily reassure themselves that all is well from a far.

5) Playful. Once setup, grandparents can tell bedtime stories to grand children, sing songs together, play on-line games, teach, explain and listen to one another. It’s a great way to connect the generations.

6) Meet new friends.

Many seniors love to socialize. Some are lonely and others just like to expand their circles. Regardless, on-line communities exist that can easily match interests so that conversations and eventually friendships can flourish.

Video conferencing facilitates a common human need to socialize, in ways that traditional methods can’t. It is cheap, convenient, safe, and fun.

Set for the festival

n TD Canada Trust manager Ralph Segreto is all ready for this year’s Roots and Blues Festival after dropping off the bank’s annual Main Stage sponsorship cheque at the festival office.

Advertising designed to manipulate smokers Living WeLL On May 31, healthcare organizations around the world bring attention to World No Tobacco Day. This year’s theme was “Ban tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship.” Tobacco advertising bans aim to counteract the misleading information used in marketing campaigns and also strive to prevent youth from being exposed to the lure of tobacco advertising.

Sadly, only six per cent of the world’s populations are protected from exposure to tobacco industry advertising tactics. In Canada, the Tobacco Act aims to protect the health of Canadians by regulating tobacco advertising, restricting access to tobacco products and increasing public awareness of the health hazards of using tobacco products.

The Tobacco Products Labelling Regulations require that tobacco product labels include health warning messages covering 75 per cent of the front and back of the packages

of cigarettes and little cigars. Health information messages such as “never quit trying to quit” are required to be included inside the packaging and a Canadian quit line number must also be provided to link smokers with cessation services in their province.

Because most tobacco users begin before the age of 14 it is important to ensure our youth are not exposed to tobacco promotions.

The Tobacco Act prohibits tobacco marketing directed at youth but despite this, the tobacco industry remains aggressive in promoting tobacco products to youth in new and clever ways.

Flavoured products and colorful packaging have recently been used to attract youth to tobacco products. Flavoured tobacco comes in almost every imaginable flavour – cherry, strawberry, banana and mint and more. Many youth equate these products to candy, rather than seeing them as harmful and addictive tobacco products.

Flavours appeal to kids because they reduce the unpleasant odor and disguise the bad taste of tobacco. Flavoured

tobacco products are just as addictive as other non-flavoured products.

The tobacco industry is also using flavours in other products such as hookahs and electronic cigarettes to entice children, youth and adults.

The global tobacco epidemic kills nearly 6 million people each year. Over 600,000 people are non-smokers dying from exposure to second hand smoke. It is projected tobacco will kill more than 8 million people every year by the year 2030. Over 80 per cent of these deaths are preventable.

Tobacco advertising bans can play an important role in preventing people from starting to use tobacco and subsequently reducing others from being exposed to second hand smoke.

Let’s support and drive national efforts to protect future generations so they can live, work and play in a smoke free world.

Landfill clients may have their loads monitored The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) will have staff monitoring incoming loads at the Salmon Arm Landfill throughout the summer in an effort to work with residents, haulers, contractors and other landfill users to reduce the amount of recyclable materials currently being landfilled.

“We’re trying to save space in the landfill because we only have about 40 years of available space left,” says CSRD Waste Reduction Facilitator Carmen Fennell. “That isn’t a long time in the life of a landfill.”

Fennell says keeping recycling out of the landfill not only benefits the environment, but will also save taxpayers a lot of money.

When a landfill does come to the end of its life, the costs associated with closure and opening a new one are not cheap and are unavoidable as stringent siting and closure regulations are dictated by provincial government.

“It will cost about $12 million to site and construct a new landfill, $7 million to close the existing site, and $3.2 million to monitor the site for 25 years after it’s closed. Our

goal is to achieve zero waste, which would obviously be a huge cost saving.”

Fennell says monitoring is not geared to singling out or punishing haulers, contractors and individuals who are delivering material that isn’t supposed to be in the landfill but, rather, about informing landfill users that many materials are recyclable and therefore prohibited from disposal.

“We’re trying to provide education as to how material can be better separated to keep recycling out of the garbage which also, incidentally, can

June 16th

What are your interests, Dad? Father’s Day is the perfect moment to demonstrate the love and respect you feel for a father, fatherin-law, grandfather, husband, or even a man on the verge of becoming a father for the first time.

Spending some quality time together is always a sure-fire way to please him, and a little surprise gift can do no harm either. Here are a few ideas to inspire you.

If the father in question has a passion or a hobby, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a suitable gift. Fishing fans will be happy to receive accessories for their favourite pastime, while outdoor enthusiasts will love the latest weather-proof gear to use on the trails. For those who love movies, video games, or music the options are practically infinite. Just be sure to do a bit of detective work first so you don’t duplicate any of his recent purchases!

Why not give a hi-tech gift to a father who’s always interested in the latest gadgets at the electronics store? You could celebrate the wonderful times you’ve spent together by giving him a digital photograph frame filled with photos of trips you’ve taken or family shots that will bring back wonderful memories. If you have a bit of a budget, it’s a sure bet that he’ll love showing off the latest tablet to work colleagues and friends.

If you’d like to help him find ways to relax and enjoy life, you’re sure to find a wide range of skincare and relaxation products specifically designed for men. What a great occasion to encourage this

n Cycling is one of the many sports that will be featured in the BC Seniors Games to be held in Kamoops from Aug. 20 to 24.

Pedaling to Seniors Games

By Sarah MacMillan black press

Imagine riding your bike 60 kilometres – the distance from Kamloops to Chase. Seems challenging. Now add in the fact that this is a race.

This is just one of the cycling events that numerous contestants over the age of 55 take part in at the B.C. Seniors games.

“It’s very physically demanding,” said Gary Hunt. “You have to get used to the physical discomfort of pushing your body.”

Hunt, 66, is the B.C. Seniors Games cycling co-ordinator for zone eight. This is his first year as co-ordinator but he became involved in cycling a few years ago.

“I’m fairly new to the sport of cycling,” said Hunt. “I originally got involved because of the interest my son has in it.”

Hunt had owned a mountain bike for four years when, in the summer 2009, he and his son

went out to watch some of the bike races, and they both fell in love with the sport. Not long after, Hunt bought himself an aluminium-framed racing bike and, since ’09, he has competed in numerous races.

“The competition is fun and it’s great that you get to compete against people in your own age category,” said Hunt. “And it just makes for a good social atmosphere.”

Within the seniors games there are three different race types that take place over three days. The first is a 16-km flat course which is a time trial.

The second race type is a road race where participants travel from 40 to 60 kilometres depending on their age and gender.

The third race type is the hill climb, which is two to three kilometres in length, and has a grade of approximately six to nine per cent.

“The hill climb is steep enough to be challenging,” said

Hunt, adding that while sport can be very physically demanding – and he himself rides four to five days a week – the commitment pays off, especially at the games.

“It satisfies two goals,” said Hunt, “getting medals and being healthy.”

In addition to participating in the seniors games, Hunt is also the president of the local Interior Grasslands cycling club.

“We don’t just race [at the club], it’s also a social riding club.”

Hunt says that on Sunday’s the club just goes riding, and Thursdays are the competitive days.

Anyone wanting more information about cycling in Kamloops, or cycling in the B.C. Seniors games may contact Hunt at 250-573-3127, or by email at garyalan.hunt@gmail.com, or visit the B.C. Seniors games website at www.bcseniorsgames.org.

n Renee Blanc of Chase finishes rounding the last barrel during her Saturday run at the Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza held at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds over the weekend.

Racing for fun, prizes About 160 riders were in the running for $19,500 in prize money over the weekend.

The Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds attracted horses and riders from as far away as Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, Vancouver Island and Drayton Valley, Alberta.

“It went absolutely phenomenal, better than we ever expected,” said a pleased Chantelle Prentice, one of the organizers.

Last year just over $17,000 was paid out to barrel racers in prize money, while this year that total rose by $2,500.

Prentice explains that the local non-profit group working

with the BC Barrel Association runs the bonanza, giving $50 of the $53 daily fee per rider back to riders and horse participating.

“A lot of barrel races take 30 per cent of the entry fee off the top to pay for costs and take money themselves, but as a non-profit group and working with the BC Barrel Association, we put members and riders first, and try to pay out as much as possible.”

Along with entry fees, the prizes were boosted by donations from sponsors. In addition to the cash pay-outs on both Saturday and Sunday for each division, winners of the twoday average category received

gift prizes.

Riders ranged from the youngest at two years to the oldest in their seventies.

An excited two-year-old Hannah Lewis from Chilliwack, who competed in the Peewee category, rounded the barrels with help from a couple of adults who led her obliging horse Lennie.

Chase’s Renee Blanc rode more than one horse over the weekend, placing third Saturday in the 1D division and third in the 4D division on Sunday.

Another Chase competitor was Konnie Herman on Ellie, and, from Pritchard, Kelsy Pozzobon rode two horses.

Chase RCMP officers say they are unable to tell if the break and enters earlier this spring are in any way connected to those which occurred throughout the winter.

While no one has been arrested for the string of thefts, police do have suspects of interest.

Reports of break-ins have quieted down, with a few still happening here and there.

Cpl. Mark Skotnicki said that despite most people having already returned to check on their summer homes, police have not received any major influx in reports.

He assures the department is continuing to investigate these crimes, and the matter is not being shelved.

Those who are not compliant will be subject to fines and charged with the according act.

The RCMP will also be keeping their eyes open for unsafe boating as well as impaired boaters.

Those who are charged with operating a boat while intoxicated, and found guilty in court, are subject to losing their licence for one year.

Budget works to assist forestry From the hill Colin Mayes

www.saobserver.net

British Columbia is the largest and most progressive forestry region in Canada.

The forest sector was part of your government’s Economic Action Plan since its conception. The gov-

ernment of Canada invested in research and development of new forest products as well as opening new markets.

We allocated in past budgets $127 million to help the struggling forest industry during the economic downturn to find new markets and develop new products with wood fiber. This has resulted in a turn-around for the forest industry. Now, the new markets in the Pacific Rim have revived the industry. In budget 2013-14, your government budgeted

an additional $92 million, over two years, to support innovation and expand markets.

David Lindsay, CEO of the Forest Producers Association of Canada, said, “We applaud the government for its continued support for the forest products sector even at a time tough measures are needed to reduce the deficit. This is a strategic futureoriented decision that demonstrates ongoing commitment to the transformation of the industry.”

The forest sector has forecasted that this in-

The Board of educaTion of School diSTricT #83 (north okanagan-Shuswap) Former Ashton Creek School for Sale in Enderby, BC The Board of Education of School District No. 893 (North Okanagan-Shuswap) invites proposals to purchase the former Ashton Creek School that is surplus to the School Districtís educational needs.

The property is located approximately 8.9 km east of Enderby, BC in the rural community of Ashton Creek.

A Request for Proposals (RFP) Document is available for downloading online at no charge.

To download the RFP Document, please go to the BC Bid website at www.bcbid.gov. bc.ca. (select ‘Browse for Bid Opportunities or Bid Results’, then ‘Browse opportunities by organization’, then ‘School District 83 North Okanagan-Shuswap’) For more information, please contact: Sterling Olson, Secretary Treasurer Phone: 250-804-7830 Email: solson@sd83.bc.ca Proposals are due by September 12, 2013 by 2:00 pm Pacific Time.

vestment will produce $20 billion in economic activity in new markets, innovative new products as well as a need for 60,000 more forest workers by the end of the decade.

Governments do not create jobs, business does. However, government must partner with sectors in the economy to ensure new foreign market agreements and innovation makes Canada more competitive globally.

These measures are all part of your gov-

ernment’s Economic Action Plan that has provided jobs, growth and prosperity for Canadians. To echo the Canadian Steel Producers Association, “Budget 2013-14, presents new longterm commitments… with measures that will strengthen growth prospects for Canadian manufacturing and the people and communities that depend on it.”

Florence “FLO” McCallum (Hall) Feb 24, 1916 - May 20, 2013 It is with heartfelt sadness the family announces the passing of “Flo”. She went quietly and peacefully in her sleep at home in Sicamous, BC. Flo was born on February 24, 1916 in Langford, Manitoba.

Flo gew up in Neepawa, Manitoba where she met ‘Jack’. Their love story began and they were married on June 5, 1937. A year later young ‘Jack Jr.’ was born. They made their home in Lethbridge, Alberta for a few years then moved to northern BC and the Yukon. They spent many years together in the north where she enjoyed camping, gardening, cooking and canning. She was very committed to her family and loved to spoil her grand-children with her wonderful baking and canned goods. In the early 70’s they sold the motel in Dease Lake and moved to the Shuswap where they purchased the little house on Silver Sands Road in Sicamous.

There they retired and enjoyed the company of many wonderful neighbors and friends. She was quite active, often going for long walks with her beloved dogs; Prince and Buttons. She enjoyed her flowers and vases and recently visited the Bouchart Gardens in Victoria with family and friends.

A loving wife, mother and grand-mother who has left us but will remain in the hearts of all who knew her, and loved her.

A special thank you to all the home-support workers for all the wonderful care and especially to her grand-daughter “Charlene” who cared for her and brought so much love and spirit into her life over the past several years.

A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, June 5th at 1:00 pm at her home 1421 Silver Sands Road in Sicamous.

WOODLOT LICENCE PLAN Woodlot Licence 322 Pursuant to Section 17(1)(a) of the Woodlot Licence Planning and Practices Regulation, notice is hereby given that STELLAJONES CANADA INC., the manager of Woodlot Licence 322 at Three Valley Gap, is making its Woodlot Licence Plan (WLP) for the woodlot available for public review and comment.

A WLP is the central planning document required under the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) and its regulations for a woodlot tenure. The term of the WLP will be ten years, with a possible extension by an additional ten years.

The WLP addresses a series of objectives set by government for managing and protecting forest and range values. These values include soils, timber, fish, wildlife, biodiversity, water, resource features, recreation resources, visual quality, cultural heritage resources, and forage and associated plant communities. In some cases the licensee has the option of endorsing forest practices found in the Woodlot Licence Planning and Practices Regulation or proposing alternative results or strategies for approval by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. The WLP also includes standards for reforestation and measures to address invasive plants and natural range barriers.

The Woodlot Licence Plan will be available for review and comment until July 3, 2013 during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), Monday through Friday (excepting July 1st) at Stella-Jones’ office in Salmon Arm. Interested persons can arrange to review the Woodlot Licence Plan by contacting Pat McMechan by telephone at 250-814-7661 or by email at pmcmechan@stella-jones.com.

To be considered in the final Woodlot Licence Plan that will be submitted for approval, comments must be in writing and received by July 3, 2013 at: STELLA-JONES CANADA INC. 4661 – 60th Street S.E. Salmon Arm, B.C. V1E 1X2
