mented Tuesday, June 25 on the “Say ‘yes’ to SmartCentre-Walmart in Salmon Arm” Facebook site that SmartCentres is formally announcing Walmart will be anchoring the Salmon Arm shopping centre. He writes: “The new Walmart SuperCentre will be approximately 96,000 sq. ft. and will include a full range of groceries. Walmart, which
will open later this year, is expected to create up to 200 full- and parttime jobs.” The store will be about one-third larger than a Canadian football field or about 2.2 acres. Savard explains that, “at this time, we are constructing Phase 1 of the project, which includes the Walmart store and the offsites (e.g. Trans
Canada Highway/Frontage Road).” He said SmartCentres will announce the grand opening date as soon as it is confirmed. Construction tender documents that circulated last fall showed the floor plan includes a grocery section with a deli and bakery area, as well See Medical on page 2

Jack Nathan Health, which provides ‘The Clinic at Walmart,’ is contacting medical professionals in Salmon Arm to see if they are interesting in owning their own or expanding their medical practice. The clinic will have what’s called a ‘paddle pager program’ so patients have the option to shop while they wait. “Happy patients turn waiting down-time into up-time” promises a letter from Jack Nathan Health referring to the clinic to be located
at 2991 10th Ave. SW and the Trans-Canada Highway. The letter to local physicians notes that “Jack Nathan Health is committed to improving access to public health care by delivering consistent, quality care in state-of-theart medical clinics in Walmart Supercentres across Canada. We recognize that practicing medicine is what you do best. What we do best is improve physician earning potential and quality of life.”

Plan to reduce packaging waste By Barb Brouwer
market news staff
What to do with all that packaging? A new provincial program will help – and will provide financial incentives. While the number of recyclable items has grown, both in curbside and depot programs, packaging has remained the bane of those who would reduce the amount of waste going into landfills. Enter the province with a program that will see industry taking responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging and printed paper. Following recent Ministry of Environment amendments to B.C.’s Recycling Regulation, packaging producers formed a non-profit organization called Multi-Materials British Columbia (MMBC). The organization has developed “market clearing prices,” that are financial incentives available to local governments that operate curbside collection of packaging and printed paper (PPP) and local governments, private companies and non-profit organizations for multi-family building and depot collection. Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s waste management
co-ordinator Ben Van Nostrand explained the program to the regional district directors at the June 20 board meeting. “Where there’s a curbside program in place, they’re offering a financial incentive to recycle packaging materials,” said Van Nostrand, noting customers should see an increased level of service because there will be opportunities to add more materials to the pick-up program. “If they take the financial incentive, it potentially offsets the cost of the program.” Van Nostrand told directors that the incentives are available to CSRD’s depot programs and to any municipality or First Nation was operating a curbside program collecting either recyclables or garbage in 2012. Salmon Arm will be eligible for incentives, but Sicamous, which chose not to provide curbside collection, will not be eligible. Those who are interested in participating in the program must advise MMBC by Sept. 16. “They’ll negotiate the contract and the plan will roll out in May 2014,” says Van Nostrand. Van Nostrand says CSRD collection depots are tied to current contracts until Dec. 31, 2014. “Because we have a contract in place, we’re not able at this point to be able to take advantage of
the financial incentives,” he says. “We will continue to run the program as is until Jan. 1 2015, at which point we’ll transfer to the MMBC program and take advantage of the financial incentives.” Municipalities with curbside collection could see savings in the neighbourhood of about $34 per household, says Van Nostrand. But the incentives will go to the member municipalities who will then decide when and how to pass the incentives on to their taxpayers. Currently within CSRD, approximately $1.25 million is spent on the delivery of recycling services associated with PPP. “Local governments will have the ability to redirect funding toward other zero waste programs such as organic waste management and composting,” said Van Nostrand. City of Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper says she would like to see the funds directed to organic waste management programs but it will be up to council to make that determination. “I like being able to keep more stuff out of the landfill,” she said, noting the city has been putting money into reserve to offset some of the costs. “It’s nice to see more recycling added without a huge tax increase.”

Other free activities include several inflatable bouncy houses, a dance exhibition by local dance studios, a 4H small-animal display, plus lots of arts and activity tents. The ever popular 50-cent carnival games and a prize tent are back. Every child gets one free game ticket on entry, and wearing red earns them a bonus ticket. Food vendors will offer a variety of choices for all ages and attend-
ees are welcome to take their own bag lunches. A note to the older “kids” in the crowd, this festival is a non-smoking event, and dogs, even on leashes, are not permitted. To sponsor the event or donate an item to a silent auction, call organizers Karen Bubola at

Future of the BC NDP at a crossroads
The provincial NDP is at a crossroads, and whichever direction it chooses is fraught with challenges. Not only did the party lose an election that almost everyone expected it would win, it lost a number of key ridings, particularly in the Interior and Lower Mainland suburbs. It also lost in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, where Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver was elected. Weaver is a wellknown scientist who is articulate and knowledgeable. He will almost certainly help build on the Green Party beachhead which began when national leader Elizabeth May won a Vancouver Island seat in the 2011 federal election. The NDP has much to fear from the Greens, who appeal to many younger and environmentally minded people. The NDP, by contrast, often has difficulty moving beyond its massive debt to organized labour, which has very conflicting views on the environmental movement. The past election showed that many union members, particularly those whose jobs are related to resource extraction, voted Liberal. Or the NDP could move in the direction of being much more robust in supporting economic development. While this would appeal to a core of voters, the party would be saying goodbye to many of its environmentally minded voters. The B.C. NDP must decide if Adrian Dix will remain as leader. Dix did not give much indication that he is going to resign, at the weekend provincial council meeting. If he stays on as leader, there is almost certain to be a vicious internal fight within the NDP, which will likely lead to a very divided party. That would leave it in even worse shape to deal with the changes that are in the wind on the provincial political scene. Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals are watching the NDP angst with undisguised enthusiasm. -Langley Times

Few remedies for muddy trout There is something to be said for a shore lunch, you know, frying up a couple of fresh-caught fish in a cast iron frying pan on a small campfire right beside a lake or stream. “Best table in the restaurant,” may father used to say. I sure used to enjoy those shore lunches. Maybe it was the surroundings or having worked up an appetite being out in the fresh air, but somehow things seemed to taste better. Or maybe I just remember things tasting better, because if the truth be told, I’m not really all that big on eating trout. I much prefer halibut or walleye. Although I have been known to cook up an occasional trout for dinner, especially when I’m up at the cabin. Unless of course the trout happen to have that awful, totally distasteful muddy flavour trout sometimes have in certain lakes at certain times of the year. Contrary to what some people believe, the muddy taste in trout has nothing to do with mud on the bottom of the lake. It is caused
The GreaT OuTDOOrs James Murray by a chemical compound called geosmin. The two primary producers of geosmin in freshwater lakes are the blue-green algae you see on the surface of some lakes and actinomyus bacteria which causes decomposition of organic material on the lake bottom. Algae and actinomyus bacteria release geosmin into the water (it is actually released when the living algae and bacteria die) which trout breathe in through their gills and then transfer, through the bloodstream, into their skin, flesh and muscle tissue. Geosmin accumulates in the skin, fatty tissue and muscles of a fish and
are only eliminated with time once the algae bloom clears and/or decomposition slows. The rate of elimination is dependant on water temperature and the fat content of the fish, which is species and age (size) specific. Ironically both algae and decomposition increases in warmer water, while it takes longer for a fish to eliminate the geosmin compounds from their system in cooler water due to metabolism rates. Although fish can still taste muddy in the fall, they are more of a problem during the hot summer months when the algae is in full bloom. The problem diminishes as water temperatures cool down and are less likely to occur in lakes which are relatively deep and low in organic matter. The problem can also exist in lakes with a high degree of clay particles suspended in water. The clay absorbs the geosmin that is subsequently passed through the gills of the fish. It can be hard to predict which lakes will have mud-
dy tasting fish. Two lakes of similar depth, with the same type of algae bloom, may not produce similar tasting fish. Sometimes it’s just a matter of what micro-habitat a fish frequents when eating. If you do keep a fish that you suspect is going to taste muddy, you can usually distinguish a slight muddy smell to it when you’re cleaning the fish. You can try soaking your fish in vinegar to help remove the muddy taste, but I’ve never really found vinegar all that successful. (Geosmin breaks down in acid). Once I know the muddy taste is there I can always taste it – regardless of how it is prepared, how much spice might be used or what kind of sauce it is covered with. There is, however, a much simpler way to get rid of the muddy taste in trout. Simply return the fish to the water and figure out something else to make for dinner. And, if by chance you have a hankering for something sweet and chocolatey for dessert, you can always have mud pie.

Project aims to get kids outdoors By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAff
Early childhood educators are hoping to bring children back to the roots of play in nature through a $10,000 project in a city park without a name. Trudi Hobson and Friday Bailey of the Shuswap Children’s Association, and early childcare professional Dawn Lee are the founders of TRUE (together, relaxed, unplugged and exploring) in the TREES, an idea that is in the process of becoming reality with the help of the City of Salmon Arm and a $10,000 grant from the Early Childhood Educators Association and the Vancity Community Fund. In a presentation to council, Hobson said the latter two organizations were offering the funds to early care and learning professionals across the province for a community project. Hobson, Bailey and Lee came wanted to put together a project that would 1) encourage more open-ended play activities outdoors; 2) more family connection and less disconnect; 3) more families spending time outdoors; 4) increased knowledge and understanding of families regarding the value of play outdoors. And so TRUE in the Trees was born. “Our education and experience as early childhood educators shows us children re-
ally thrive in nature, and they learn through opportunities to explore at their own pace,” said Bailey. “Children entering kindergarten in this community have been identified as struggling with gross motor skills and with social and emotional development, so our project will support children in practising skills that are needed. “We are concerned parents are putting more focus on children’s academic success, and maybe forgetting that
Coun. Alan Harrison play and exploring natural environments are really fundamental for those types of skills.” The focus of the project is the forested area and pond on property, which includes part of the Rotary Trail, at 28th Street NE and Fifth Avenue NE, next to the Okanagan College Campus. One of the group’s plans for this nameless parkland is to install some drums and different types of resonant equipment. “We believe that drumming brings people back to a place of self-regulation and security and they’re more successful in moving
forward in whatever it is that they’re interested in doing,” said Bailey. Lee said the project will include cleaning up the property and placing interpretive signs and other educational material, with input from First Nations. City parks supervisor Brad Ackerman, who has been working on the project with Bailey, Hobbs and Lee, said input may be sought from local First Nations as well, for naming the park. As Bastion Elementary’s principal, Coun. Alan Harrison said the forested area by the school is where some of the best and most imaginative play occurs. “I guess that would be the one caution that I would give to you doing a project like this, is to provide the resource and make sure it’s a safe place, but not to overorganize the activity,” said Harrison. “I know at my school, kids’ favourite time of day is recess and lunch when the adults are leaving them alone and they are able to go out and play without us telling them where to go and what to do. And it looks like that’s the lean of your project.” Hobbs later said they’ve applied to Canada Post for another grant of up to $50,000 to go towards the project. Council voted to direct staff to continue working on the project as needed to help see it through to fruition.

South ShuSwap Reading program takes off It’s Up, Up and Away for the 2013 Summer Reading Club for kids at the Okanagan Regional Library. Whether your child is interested in things with wings, superheroes, the secrets of the stars or weird weather, there will be a program that suits them during this exciting summer program. Fun contests, activities and guest speakers encourage kids to read the summer away and help prevent learning losses that occur when they don’t take part in educational activities. Registration for the program has begun and will continue throughout the summer. Magicians and painters are among those who will be visiting the South Shuswap library this summer as part of this year’s summer reading program. While traditionally the summer reading program is only open to kids from kindergarten to 12 years old, parents can now have their babies and toddlers take part as well. The Read To Me program allows younger children to take part in the events while having parents, brothers or sisters read them. Each child who registers will get a booklet to keep track of the books they read and a bookmark. Once they have read a book, they get a sticker. There will be a number of competitions and contests throughout the summer, including a sunflower-growing contest that will require participants to water their plants each day. Each week the sunflower would be measured. The library will also be celebrating its reading program with a list of performers scheduled to visit throughout the summer.
Kicking off the entertainment is awardwinning Norden the Magician, who will be performing some mystifying tricks for the children on July 2 at 2 p.m. Lynn Erin will explore “Up, Up and Away,” in a watercolour session. Also on the horizon is an origami session with Eiko Uehara at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 17 and Leigh Schaffer will introduce children to the world of science with Owlie Growlies by examining owl pellets to see what they eat at 11:30 a.m. July 24. A comic drawing session with Kevin Adamson takes place at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 31. The Summer Reading Club, which is offered at all branches across the system, saw an increase of 16 per cent last year. ORL executive director Stephanie Hall explains the importance of libraries in building good readers and notes how the process begins early. “Reading to chil-

Get to know cataracts risk factors
There are no medications or other treatment options besides surgery to correct cataracts. In the United States, cataract surgery has a 95 percent success rate, and patients often have 20/20 or 20/40 vision post-surgery. Cataract surgery is also the most frequently performed surgery, often performed as an outpatient procedure.
As men and women age, they can experience certain physical changes and health challenges. Vision impairment is one condition that many associate with aging, and cataracts are a primary concern for those of middle-age and older.
Today, more than 22 million Americans age 40 and older have cataracts. According to the National Eye Institute, by age 80, more than half of all Americans will either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery.
Cataract is clouding of the eye’s lens that blocks or changes the passage of light into the eye. Normally the lens is clear, which allows light to pass through to the back of the eye, so that a person can see well-defined images. If a cataract forms and the lens becomes covered in an opaque film, light cannot pass through easily. The result will be fuzzy vision, almost like looking through a fogged-up window. If cataracts are not treated, an individual may eventually lose most of his or her vision.
One or both eyes can be affected by cataracts. In the case of both eyes being compromised, one eye is usually worse than the
other.
The primary risk factor for developing cataracts is age. The older a person is, the greater their risk. However, there are several other risk factors as well. * Intense heat or longterm exposure to UV rays from the sun * Certain diseases, such as diabetes * Obesity
* High blood pressure
* Inflammation in the eye
* Hereditary influences
* Long-term steroid use * Eye injuries
* Other eye diseases * Smoking
Prevent Blindness America provides free information to the public on everything from cata-
ract basics to tips on what to expect from cataract surgery. Visit
preventblindness.org/ cataract or call its toll free number at (800) 3312020. And, as part of its new Healthy Eyes Educational Series, PBA offers a specific online module on cataracts, including a Power Point presentation and guide. The organization shares this information about cataracts: * Early symptoms of a cataract may include cloudy or blurry vision. * Lights may cause a glare, seem too dim or seem too bright.
* Sufferers may also find it difficult to read or drive, especially at night. * Individuals may have to change their eyeglass prescriptions often.
In Canada, where, according to Statistics Canada, seniors will make up 21 percent of the population by 2026, cataract surgery is also frequent and well tolerated. Approximately 250,000 cataract surgeries take place in Canada each year, according to The National Coalition for Vision Health.
It is widely recommended to get regular eye exams to check for cataracts early on. “By getting a complete, dilated eye exam, your doctor can discuss with you the best strategy to protect your vision well into the future,” said Hugh R. Parry, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness America. “We encourage everyone, especially those ages 40 and older, to make their vision a priority by scheduling an eye appointment today.”

Shuswap residents can learn to relax, meditate and limber up as Breathe Yoga Studio is now open for business. After realizing that there were no studios in the area, Jessica Wyslouzil and Reanna Costa teamed to bring yoga to the Shuswap. The two hope that by opening a studio in Sorrento they can create a more convenient place for yoga-lovers to gather, eliminating the need to drive to other communities. Wyslouzil says the classes have received great feedback since the studio opened June 8 and some classes have already begun to fill up. The women offer classes for children, chair yoga for seniors and everything in between. Plans are also in the works to add more classes to the Breathe roster. The partners have tried to make their studio a place where families can come together, and have designed a class that allows parents and children to

Turn castoffs into garage sale gold
(NC)—As the warmer weather is upon us, it brings many new activities, from baseball to picnics to garage sales. It’s the time of the year when people are purging what they don’t need, and
is the perfect opportunity to turn their trash into your treasure. From outdated odds and ends to forgotten furniture, there is a wealth of worthy items just waiting to be found, re-imagined,
and re-purposed. Take a look at these ideas: Pretty in Paint Rusty metal, chipped paint, colours from another decade – these are all-too-common sights for the garage
sale shopper. But look beyond these imperfections – and at their spray paint potential – and you’ll soon find some diamonds in the rough. Metal products, such as tables, chairs, gar-
den tools or even watering cans, can receive an easy and instant update with a spray paint like Rust Protector from Krylon. It is available in a variety of colours and dries in just eight minutes, so as you create your new masterpieces, you don’t have to worry about grass, leaves or other particles getting stuck in a fresh coat of paint. It provides the ultimate protection against rust, keeping your new treasures looking amazing regardless of the elements they face.
be admired on bookshelves and mantels. Even old books can add a level of sophistication to your home. Grab a handful in coordinating colours to stack on a dresser or end table for instant eye appeal. Buy an old ladder and prop it against the wall as a place to drape blankets. You can even spray paint an old coffee mug rack to create a fabulous jewelry organizer where you can hang all your favourites.. The possibilities are endless.
New Uses for Old Things The key to finding items at garage sales is to look at how they can be used in new and different ways. Don’t view that dusty, broken typewriter or vintage camera as mechanical pieces you have to fix, but rather as interesting design elements to
Turn Treasure Into Sold If you’re main reason for getting giddy over garage sales it to make a quick buck, you’re not alone. Valuable items lurk at each and every turn, and they are just waiting to be snatched up by an eager buyer. Doing your research and reading
up on collectibles is a great place to start. Generally, pieces with high nostalgia value will fetch a higher price tag. Think classic lunch boxes, comic books, sports memorabilia or board games – things you loved as a kid and that never seem to go out of style. You can also enlist the help of a collectibles expert to tell you everything you need to know. So, as you head outdoors this summer on a hunt for some bargain fixer-upper or forgotten gems, keep your eyes peeled and your mind open. The perfect addition to your home is right around the corner. You just have to use your imagination and bring it back to life. More information is available online at www.krylon.ca. www.newscanada.com
How to survive mosquito season (NC) - With the hot, humid, and dry summer months ahead, we can finally look forward to being outdoors and enjoying all the fun activities summer has to offer. However, summer is also a time where mosquitoes and deer ticks like to roam and make our lives miserable and uncomfortable. Here are some tips and recommendations to make sure you make it through mosquito season: • Wear light-coloured, loose clothes and avoid scented products when outdoors, especially from dusk to dawn, which is the peak feeding time for certain mosquitoes. • Remove areas of standing water near your house as they can be breeding areas for mosquitoes.
• Clean Gutters: Gutters clogged with debris allow stagnant water to form perfect landing zones for mosquito eggs.
• Wear closed shoes and a hat to avoid deer ticks. Tuck pants into socks. • Inspect your clothing and body after exploring wooded or grassy areas. The best way to reduce bites is to use an insect repellent when spending time outdoors in mosquito-infested areas. Unfortunately not everyone takes these precautions. According to a survey conducted by Harvard University for the Harvard School of Public Health Project on the Public and Biological Security, 45 percent of adults in the United States did not take precautions
to prevent mosquito bites. Some theorize that it’s because some older repellents with DEET are greasy and have an unpleasant odour, so people don’t like to use them. Many people don’t realize there are new odourless and non-greasy products on the market today that make taking precautions against bug bites much easier. In fact, Avon, the creators of the iconic Skin So Soft product line, launched a new bug repellent in Canada last year – Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Icaridin – that provides strong and dependable repellency against mosquitoes for up to five hours and deer ticks for up to seven hours. Its key repelling agent, Icaridin, is an effective alternative
ingredient to DEET. It has a pleasant scent, is non-greasy and has a light, clean feel when applied. Icaridin has been used worldwide since 1998, and is one of the best selling active ingredients contained in insect repellent products in Europe. In the U.S., Icardian is known as Picaridin. The Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin has offered protection in the U.S. for those wanting to enjoy outdoor activities without the nuisance and concerns of bug bites since 2006. It is now available in Canada through Avon Independent Sales Representatives. More information can be found at www.avon.ca. www.newscanada.com

Yet another change in plans for the 2013 Sturgis North Motorcycle Jamboree and Music Festival. There won’t be one. Sturgis North announced Thursday on its Facebook site that the event will be postponed until August 2014 “due to time constraints re the new location and we apologize for any inconvenience!” The 2013 event was going to be held in Merritt, after an earlier location planned for this year was nixed. In December 2012, Sturgis North and the Neskonlith Indian Band announced they had formed a partnership and would be holding the 2013 event Aug. 22 to 25 at Silvery Beach on Little Shuswap Lake near Squilax. Sturgis North In April, that plan was announced cancelled but no public Thursday that explanation was offered. the event will be Emails from Sturgis postponed until North were sent to the August 2014 Chase RCMP as well as “due to time the Columbia Shuswap constraints re Regional District informthe new ing them of the Squilax location...” cancellation. In May, Merritt was announced as the new site. In 2011, the event was held in Salmon Arm both at the fairgrounds as well as on Neskonlith land in the Gleneden area. In 2012 it moved to the Spallumcheen Motoplex Speedway and Event Park. Although Sturgis North 2011 received some good reviews in Salmon Arm, about 15 businesses were left angry because they weren’t paid an estimated $300,000 for their services. In November 2012, the motoplex initiated a claim for close to $400,000 in BC Supreme Civil court against Sturgis North Encore Productions Inc., but the Market News was told then by a motoplex spokesperson that negotiations were still underway. However, Bob Newcombe, manager of the Spallumcheen facility, said Monday he is not able to comment on the situation, because “we are ending up having to sue them.”

Ways to be sodium savvy WeLL Our body needs salt to survive, send nerve impulses and contract and relax our muscles. As a bonus salt adds flavour and helps preserve foods. However, in our North American food system we get way too much of a good thing. The average Canadian consumes about 3,400 milligrams of sodium daily. This is more than double the recommended intake of 1,500 mg, and it is 50 per cent higher than the upper tolerable limit of 2,400 mg (which equals one teaspoon). This high-salt intake does not come without consequences. According to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation three in 10 Canadians have high blood pressure caused by too
much dietary salt. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been identified by the World Health Organization as the leading risk factor for premature death in the world. So where does all this salt come from? Roughly 80 percent of sodium in the diet comes from processed foods and restaurants. It is important to read nutrition labels because salt can be hidden in less obvious places such as breakfast cereals and vegetable juices that boast numerous health claims. Some popular breakfast cereals have up to 350 mg of sodium per serving (and most people eat more than one serving) and vegetable juices can have close
smoked, barbecued, teriyaki, soy sauce, broth, miso, gravy, bacon and, of course, salted. Look for products that contain less than 200 mg of sodium per serving. Be aware of serving sizes and think about how many servings you usually eat. What may seem like only a small amount of sodium can add up fast as you double or triple the servings. Thoroughly rinse canned foods. And of course, the best way to avoid a high salt diet is to shop the perimeter of the grocery store, choose whole foods and cook from scratch as much as possible. For more information on sodium, visit the Healthy Families BC website at: http:// w w w. h e a l t h y fa m i liesbc.ca/sodium-sense -The author, Simone Jennings, is a registered dietitian with Interior Health.

to 500 mg of sodium per cup. Other sources that often surprise the unsuspecting consumer include canned vegetables, cheeses, smoked salmon, lunch meats, baked beans, store bought bran muffins, canned soups and tomato sauces. More obvious sources of sodium are found in the fast food items. A burger and fries meal could easily tally up 1,500 mg of sodium. Yet even the health conscious fast food eater can be hard pressed to find low salt options. Some fast food restaurant salads pack in 1,200 mg or more and a six inch sub might contain 1,200 to 1,800 mg of sodium, remember that’s almost double in a footlong. Here are a few strategies to reduce your salt intake. When eating out, order dressings on the side and watch out for foods described as pickled, marinated,

SportS Manther victory The Manthers Rugby Team took on the Merritt Mountain Men in the Okanagan Semifinals on Sunday, June 23 in front of a large crowd basking in the sun at Jackson field. Eight minutes into the game, Merritt opened the scoring, leaving the Manthers struggling for composure. A quick chat by captain Tyrone Stretch McCabe refocussed the team for the kickoff. Only five minutes later Manthers Greg ‘Old Man’ Seed broke through the Merritt back line. With some show-and-go moves he still had to dodge two tacklers and put the ball down under the posts. Manthers struggled with fitness to get to half time. The second half proved to be just as tough, as the Merritt Men were break-
ing through a few tackles to be stopped by fullback Brad Shields who made three trysaving tackles throughout the day. A chip kick down the wing by standoff Jeff Miller sent William Shaw chasing the ball to soccer kick it close to the end-zone for Justin Blanshard to dive on the ball. Merritt made a long kick into the 22-zone for one of their men to collect the ball on the run and score in the corner. The Manthers spun the ball across the field and Dan Freight Train Gawley plowed through a few Merritt players to get stopped just a bit short. James Cookson did a quick-and-go to the blind side and scored. Final score 19 - 10. On July 6 in Penticton the Saratoga Okanagan Cup is up for grabs.

Minor baseball action
n Salmon Arm Pee Wee pitcher Sam Lybeck lobs one across the plate during Salmon Arm’s 13-9 win over Sicamous in a game played Tuesday evening at Elk’s Park.
Here are a few things you can do to help reduce heat, and keep your transmission working longer: 1. Avoid Jackrabbit Starts – Hard acceleration creates a lot of friction and heat in the transmission. Take it easy on the gas, and your transmission will live longer.
2. Help the Shift – Most of the friction and wear in the transmission takes place during the shifts. Get to know when your transmission shifts normally. Then, just before the shift, back off on the gas just a bit. That’ll reduce the load on the clutches, and eliminate much of the friction during the shift. 2560 Trans Canada Hwy.

Chase Eco-depot set to open July 30 By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
The long awaited Pritchard eco-depot will be opening sooner rather than later. Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) representatives Peter Hughes and Jamie Vieira announced to Chase council Tuesday that the expected opening date for the depot is July 30. “It has been a long time coming,” Hughes said. With the opening of the new waste management site comes a few changes as well. Cash will no longer be accepted at the site; however, credit and debit will. Charge accounts can also be arranged for some businesses. Those who do not want to use the cash or credit options can opt for the eco-cards which will continue to be sold at the village office, Pritchard store and Safety Mart. Another big change is how fees will be applied. Instead of attendants
estimating the weight of each load, scales will now be used. This method, Hughes said, will be much fairer. He noted that before, people were paying $4 for four bags of garbage. “We are finding now that people are looking at $2.50 to $3,” he said. “On the other hand, those who were paying $10 for a pickup truck load are going to be paying a little more.” Vieira said staff were receiving a number of legitimate complaints from their current setup; however, he assured this method will be a fair alternative. “Everyone who goes over the scale is weighed the same way,” he said, noting that the scales used are the same type used by Transport Canada. “It has the majority of our customers saving money,” Vieira said. The new eco-depot will also have additional staff running the show. One will be stationed at the weighin station while the other will be out on the grounds.

n A conceptual drawing of the eco-depot site planned for Pritchard. Some other notable changes include the materials the depot will be taking as of July 30, or in the near future. This includes the acceptance of electronic waste and paint for recycling. While they will not be accepted on opening day, the eco-depot will be taking household hazardous waste. This will not begin until sometime down the road, as more information on the proper infrastructure required to handle such wastes is needed.
While the waste management site is capable of sorting yard brush already, in the future it will also accept lumber for chipping and recycling. There will also be a noticeable increase in the storage space capacity for all the items they already accept. “In terms of operation and safety there is an overall increase in efficiency,” Vieira said. While at the current dump site, users must throw their garbage over or through a railing to get it in the
bins, this site has a new method. There will be a tipping floor found in the new depot, which will allow users to simply dump their garbage on the floor. A share shed was also noted as one of the upcoming additions. The site itself features three buildings, the scale building, the recycling building and the garbage building. Entrance to the site will be off Martin Prairie Road and will feaSee Composting on 22

Vehicle rolls down bank one lane of the highway to be shut down for a short-period of time. RCMP received reports that one of the drivers had their head turned right, failing to check the left-hand lane when they pulled out into the westbound lane of the highway. The vehicle was then T-boned by an oncoming F-150 truck in the eastbound lane. No injuries were reported.
RCMP R e P O RT On June 23, Chase RCMP were called out to a single vehicle accident at 3:30 a.m. on Highway 97 just past the south brake check. When police arrived the vehicle was down a 30-foot embankment; however, no people or animals were found at the scene. RCMP were informed by a witness that the vehicle was allegedly spotted just minutes before driving erratically, speeding and conducting unsafe passes. The area where the car lost control has a 40-kilometre suggested
speed, said Sgt. Gary Heebner of the Chase RCMP. The RCMP members had begun to investigate when the owner of the vehicle called in. The driver claimed that they had swerved to miss a deer or a cow and lost control. No injuries were reported and Heebner said that a violation ticket is being mailed to the driver.
Third crime
Vehicle T-boned
On June 22, a twovehicle collision was reported on the turnoff to Squilax from the highway, resulting in
Chase RCMP received reports of a break and enter in which occurred sometime between April and May in the Copper Island RV Resort. This is the third time this residence has been broken into said the police
report. Heebner said that the woman was notified by a neighbor who noticed the window had been broken. The owner of the RV is from Kamloops and was planning to check to see if anything was stolen that evening.
Break and enter
RCMP received another report of a possible break and enter in the Anglemont area earlier this month. The report came in after a property manager sent a professional appraiser to the residents who then found the dowel off-track in the sliding door and the house in disarray. It is unclear at this time whether any items were stolen.
Composting stations planned for future Continued from pg. 21 ture increased access. However, during the inaugural opening the road will be located at Duck Range Road. This, Hughes said, is because they cannot construct the new driveway until the Pritchard dumping bins site is closed down. The TNRD will continue to redirect contractors to the Heffley site, said Hughes, explaining they will take smaller loads if they have them. “If they have heaping loads of concrete and other items we are going to send them to Heffley,” he said. Coun. Steve Scott asked if they are going to be using the yard waste such as leaves to create a composting
program where they would eventually resell. While one of the TNRD’s goals is to set up several composting stations around the area in the future, at this time the program is not ready and the compost collected will go to the reclaiming the closed landfills. The TNRD representatives also said there may still be an an-
nual community waste pick-up but they cannot promise this. The program, while advertised and endorsed by them, is actually conducted by a stewardship program. While Vieira said he could see no reason why they would stop hosting this event, he could not say for sure. The new eco depot is one of the three latest additions to the

Young Guns make a three-peat The Young Guns remain the reigning slopitch champions. After three days of intense play with a total of 10 teams competing, the Young Guns narrowly squeaked through another championship at the Chase slopitch tournament last weekend . After losing their first game to the Rum Runners on Friday, the Young Guns pulled together to win all of their Saturday games. Sunday followed with some fierce competition as their first game saw them pitted against the Rum Runners for a second time. While the scores remained close for most of the game, this time the Young Guns were able to clinch the win at
the last minute, moving them to the next round. The Young Guns were sent directly into the next game without much time to catch their breath, taking on the Rookies. Things were looking bad until the sixth inning when the Guns took the lead and nabbed another win. A large number of Chase locals gathered under the shade of a nearby tree to take in the action at the Chase slopitch finals. The Young Guns and the Ash Kickers battled until the end, keeping onlookers on edge and tensions high on the sidelines. Keeping with the trend they had set for the entire tournament, the Young Guns trailed
