Alberta flooding affects tourism

Economy: High water creates double-whammy for some Shuswap businesses. By Jessica Klymchuk market news staff

The Shuswap felt the ripple of flood waters last week as the effects of the devastation in Alberta trickled into B.C. The Trans-Canada Highway was closed east of Banff for almost a week due to flooding, halting travel until June 26. Tourism took a hit and concerns are that the effects could extend through the summer. Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton, however, is optimistic.

“I think we have some concern about it, but it’s a little bit premature to say,” said Trouton. He said because the flood hit on a weekend that isn’t normally busy, he doesn’t think Sicamous was greatly affected. Sicamous could likely be a retreat for victims and could still see a great summer, he said. Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper said she thought the flooding will have a large, negative effect on Salmon Arm. “I’m worried that it’s going to be a difficult summer, but we might just

have to wait and see,” said Cooper, adding that any way to reach out to Southern Alberta is encouraged. Robyn Cyr, Shuswap Tourism manager at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, said the Shuswap is more closely tied to Calgary than to Vancouver. “In the Shuswap we have a lot of people who call Calgary their home,” Cyr said. Tourism halted while the highway was closed and there is a likely possibility that Albertans will choose not to travel as they deal

with recovery. “My sense right now is that people aren’t going to travel,” Cyr said. “It’s a big hit on our tourism industry here. We had a very bad July last year and it’s another hit again, so it’s not good.” Immediate effects were felt in the hospitality industry with people cancelling reservations. Cindy Martynuik, manager at the Podollan Inn, said the inn lost 23 per cent of its reservations on ThursSee Tourism on page 2

Words of wisdom

Get more miles out of your car’s transmission

n Valedictorians Rachel Witt and Reid Gomme address their fellow graduates and the audience at the Shaw Centre on June 27 for the Salmon Arm Secondary 2013 graduation ceremonies. More than 300 students marked the completion of high school.

Part 5 of a 5 part series

Here are a few things you can do to help reduce heat, and keep your transmission working longer: 3. Keep the Cooling System in Good Shape – Your car’s radiator also provides cooling for your transmission. And heat damage will take place in the transmission long before the engine appears to overheat. So regular cooling system service can help your transmission run cooler – and last longer.

James murray/market news

4. Add a Transmission Cooler – If you travel alot in extremely high temperatures or carry a lot of weight in your car or truck, an auxiliary transmission cooler is a great way to reduce heat and add years to your transmission’s life.

Tourism operators remain optimistic about season ing into the July long weekend. Cyr said the houseboating companies felt less of an impact while the highway was closed, but Waterway Houseboat manager Neil Millar said Waterway did see a drop in bookings. “Where it affected us most and probably will continue is the bookings that we would be taking now going forward,” said Millar. “The minute the flood hit our bookings basically dried up.” Millar said it’s very unpredictable since people wait much longer to book as it is, so houseboating won’t see the full effects until the season is over. Two bookings cancelled while others were able to reschedule. Millar said Waterway was proactive about highway closures and notified guests of alternate routes and the highway reopening. Cyr said there was a fine line between hyping up tourism and being respectful of the

Continued from front day, June 20, when the flooding hit hard and the highway closed. Martynuik said the inn continued to lose five to seven reservations per day, as well as one tour bus booking. All the cancellations were from Calgary, and she thinks it had a significant impact on revenue. “It’s not just about the accommodations, it’s about the fact that people aren’t here to spend money in the restaurants and they aren’t doing the activities,” Cyr said. Heather Bodnarchuk, manager at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, said it also felt a loss in revenue when the flood hit. A number of bookings cancelled starting Thursday through to Wednesday when the highway reopened. She said about 10 per cent of the Prestige’s business was lost overall and added it was not as busy as it normally is head-

Shuswap’s suffering neighbours. She decided not to launch a marketing campaign to draw Albertans to the drier Shuswap. “I find that quite tasteless,” Cyr said, adding she reached out to Tourism Calgary to see if there were ways to help. The Salmon Arm Visitor Centre was

busier than normal while the highway was closed, coordinator Janice Dewitt said. Staff were busy helping travellers make alternate travel plans through Alberta, and most were just passing through. As for the rest of the summer, the number of Alberta licence plates the Shuswap will see is unpredictable.

City gets gaming centre Former Salmon Arm GM site: Slots, bingo planned. By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAff

The Salmon Arm Community Gaming Centre is expected to be up and running by summer 2014, with construction beginning this October. Plans for the gaming centre were the focus of an open house held on Thursday, June 27 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Present were representatives of the Adams Lake Indian Band, the BC Lottery Corporation and the Berezan Group. The Adams Lake band is leasing the property – the former home of the GM dealership at 10th Street SW and the Trans-Canada Highway – to the Berezan Group, which will build and operate Chances Salmon Arm. Fourteen Chances gaming centres are already operating in B.C., including ones in Kamloops and Kelowna. They offer slots, bingo and dining, but not table games such as blackjack or poker with live dealers. About 25 people had visited the open house after the first three of four hours Thursday, a night that also happened to be the time for Salmon Arm Secondary’s graduation. BCLC representatives said attendees were generally positive. Resident Tony Cox, who worked for 14 years as a games manager in casinos in Alberta, told the Observer that the plans look good, but he’ll wait and see. “It looks impressive,” he said, adding: “I’m a little skeptical as to what Salmon Arm is going to get out of it in the long run.” The Berezan Group, however, which will be responsible for all operational requirements of Chances Salmon Arm, states in its promotional material that it “will create highquality local jobs, both during construction and operation. Berezan will be involved in the wider

Funds help improve railway crossings Upgrades will be coming to a number Shuswap railway crossings after the government announced that over $80,000 will be allotted to make B.C. railways safer. Colin Mayes, Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Shuswap, announced the Government of Canada is providing funding to improve safety at 19 railway crossings in the Okanagan-Shuswap. “While Canada has one of the safest rail systems in the world, the federal government is working to further reduce rail accidents across the country,” said Mayes. “These improvements will make our intersections safer

in the Okanagan-Shuswap.” The federal government is investing $9.3 million in grade crossing improvement projects to enhance safety for pedestrians and motorists at 523 locations across the country. Through the Government of Canada’s Grade Crossing Improvement Program (GCIP), eligible railway crossings will be upgraded or relocated based on factors such as traffic volume and accident history. Possible improvements to Shuswap railways may include installing flashing lights, bells and gate barriers, linking crossing signals to traffic signals, or

adding new circuits or timing devices. The railway crossings receiving funds for upgrades include Hickson Road, Cambie Solsqua Road, SolsquaSicamous Road, Silver Sands Road, Federated Co-op Salmon Arm, 50th Street Salmon Arm, 36th Street NE Salmon Arm, 72nd Street Salmon Arm, Marine Park Drive, Narcisse Street, Sandy Point Road, Pierre’s Point Road, Carlin Road, Tappen Notch Hill Road, Davies Road, Turtle Valley Road and Aylmer Road. “A safe and secure national rail transportation system is important to local communities and to Canada’s

economic well-being,” said Minister of Transport Denis Lebel. “This funding will go a long way toward enhancing safety and helping to save lives at critical grade crossings.” The government also supports other initiatives to improve safety at railway crossings, such as Operation Lifesaver — a national public education program whose goal is to reduce the needless loss of life, injuries and damages caused by highway/railway crossing collisions and train/ pedestrian incidents. For more information about Operation Lifesaver and rail safety, visit www.operationlifesaver.ca.

Terror plot hits too close to home

Terrorism isn’t something that just occurs in Boston, New York, Kabul or other parts of the world. British Columbians learned Tuesday of an alleged plot to blow up the stately Legislature buildings in Victoria. Two Surrey residents have been arrested and face numerous charges. It may never be known why Victoria, better known for being more British than the British, was a target, except that the Legislature is high profile and a strike there could possibly be seen as undermining democratic tradition. By targeting Canada Day, a time when the Legislature is crowded, the goal was to maximize the destruction. This incident shows all of us that we aren’t isolated from global extremism. There are those who remain fundamentally opposed to who we are as a society. “These individuals were inspired by Al-Qaeda ideology,” said James Malitzia, RCMP assistant commissioner. But while it would be easy to give into fear, and that is exactly what terrorists want us to do, all of us must stand together. “We cannot let this change who we are. We will not let them win,” said a defiant Premier Christy Clark in front of the Legislature Tuesday. Remain strong behind our civil liberties and democratic ideals. Respect cultural and religious diversity and remember that extremists are a minority and do not represent the majority of any one group. Tolerance is key to fighting terrorism. We must give credit to the RCMP and our intelligence forces for ensuring this plot did not spiral into a tragedy. All of us must be vigilant about potential risks, but, most importantly, we must continue to be who we are. As Clark stated, “We will not let them win.” – Vernon Morning Star

OpiniOn

Cooling off with a good book When the temperatures start reaching into the high 30s like they did for a couple of days last week, I try to find some excuse, any excuse, to head indoors and just stay holed up there for as long as I can without having to venture back outside. The other evening after work, I went home and, for something to do, started reading Jack London’s The Call of the Wild. Before I even started reading, I took my shoes and socks off, put my feet up and sat back in my favourite overstuffed chair. If nothing else, I figured reading about the north would take my mind off the searing heat. I also knew that, on a purely scientific level, as the sweat on your bare feet evaporates it cools both the skin on your feet as well as the blood in your feet, which then moves along to other parts of your body, giving your feet and your whole body the sensation of coolness. It works. People who live in places like Mexico and India have long known that eating certain hot, spicy foods on a

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray hot day can also serve to cool the body down. Certain spices and foods such as chili peppers contain the chemical compound capsaicin which causes a person to perspire more readily. The more you perspire, the more your sweat evaporates and the more you experience a sense of relief. To replace the moisture that your body loses as you perspire, you need to drink plenty of fluids. As your body loses water to dehydration, your body temperature rises, so replacing fluids is essential to keeping cool. And as hard as it is for me to say this, it is not a good idea to drink beverages that contain alcohol, caffeine or lots

of sugar – all of which are dehydrating. On the other hand, it is a good idea to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet as they also help keep you hydrated. When I know it’s going to be hot during the day, I make a point of closing all the blinds and curtains when I leave for work to help block the sun’s heat. That way I know it will be relatively cool in the house when I come home. I keep them shut afterwards so that I can walk around the house in one of my silk Hawaiian shirts and a pair of Old Navy shorts. My legs probably haven’t seen daylight in 35 years. Be that as it may it’s still cooler to dress in shorts and a light shirt or T-shirt -– even if, as in my case, you don’t actually look cool. Not looking cool, however, is nothing compared to heat stroke. Heat stroke is the most serious form of heat related medical conditions. Heat stroke can kill. It can also cause damage to the brain and central nervous system as well as other internal or-

gans. The medical definition of heat stroke is having a core body temperature above 105 degrees Fahrenheit or 40.5 degrees Celsius. Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures. More often than not it occurs in combination with dehydration, and while fainting or loss of consciousness may be the most obvious sign of heat stroke, other common symptoms include nausea, seizures, confusion and disorientation. One thing I learned from researching on the internet for this column was that while heat stroke can sometimes effect younger people, it most often affects people over 50 … and I am just ever so slightly over that age. I still figure the best way to avoid any sort of heat related medical condition is to simply stay indoors, drink lots of fluids and read a good book. Maybe I’ll read Robert W. Service’s Rhymes of a Rolling Stone. I always enjoyed his poems about the cold, cold north, especially The Cremation of Sam McGee.

Shuswap Market News Friday, July 5, 2013

ShuSwap paSSion Jim Cooperman If and when the Shuswap is fortunate to have a rails-to-trail between Sicamous and Grindrod or Armstrong, it will be one of the last regions in southern B.C. to have this exceptional recreational feature. Yet, the now abandoned railway track that may become available was the province’s first spur line off the Canadian Pacific Railway when it was fully completed in 1892. The contribution that the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway made to both the settlement of our region and to the growth of the province cannot be overstated. Early Spallumcheen rancher and government agent Moses Lumby was the driving force behind the effort to build the railroad. After his first attempt in 1884 to convince Victoria to fund the construction was unsuccessful, he brought together a group of prominent politicians and businessmen to form a company to raise the funds needed and they successfully lobbied both the pro-

vincial and federal governments. In 1887, a survey of the region was done for the provincial government that determined the cost for the 51mile long railway to be $25,000 per mile and that there was more than enough farmland to provide the entire province with wheat. The surveyor also reported that he had heard “all the land is taken up” in the Spallumcheen Valley (between Mara Lake and Okanagan Lake). Construction finally began in 1890, with the old hotel at Lambly’s Landing (soon to be re-named Enderby) the centre of the operations and eventually the first train station. With some 400 workers and a huge demand for rail ties and timbers, it was a boom time in the valley. Over half of the crew were Chinese, many of whom stayed to form communities in Enderby and the Okanagan. A new automated track-laying machine was used that had been invented by the managing contractor and, once the rail bed was prepared, they were able to lay down an average of a mile of track per day. Prior to the final completion of the line, a small, steam-driven flatcar known as the Kalamazoo was used to move small groups of passengers. The first passenger train to Vernon

brought Lord and Lady Aberdeen in October 1891. With the railroad leased to CP for 25 years, regular service to Okanagan Landing began in June 1892 where the sternwheeler S.S. Aberdeen provided service to Penticton. For 15 years, there was not much freight and not many passengers, due in part to an economic downturn. The train only ran three days per week and the railway became somewhat dilapidated. However, the service was very friendly, as the train would often stop to pick up anyone who flagged it. Slowly business

“Discussions between local governments, the province, the Splatsin nation and CpR regarding the sale of the railway land have taken place...” picked up when the sawmill was built in Enderby and, by 1905, the service was expanded to a daily operation. The major products shipped included flour, lumber, poles, bricks, fruit, grain and cattle. And with increased settlement, there were many more passengers. For more than 50 years, the railroad facilitated significant economic development

for the entire region, from Sicamous to the Okanagan, but by the 1950s, local transportation shifted to roads and automobiles, and passenger service ended. Soon trucks took over the hauling of goods, and freight service ended in the 1980s. No trains have used the track from Sicamous to Armstrong since 2009. Discussions between local governments, the province, the Splatsin Nation and CPR regarding the sale of the railway land have taken place, but appear now to be stalled. While there does appear to be agreement for a linear corridor, the SureCrop Feed Plant in Grindrod would like to see rail service resumed to Armstrong. A rail-to-trail corridor between Sicamous and Enderby would be a huge boon for the Shuswap tourism industry. The scenic route on the west side of Mara Lake would entice cyclists and hikers from afar and would provide an attraction during the spring and fall when more tourism is needed. The route would need to be closely monitored to prevent it from being damaged by motorized vehicles. Hopefully, one day our region will benefit once again by the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway corridor that opened the valleys up to development.

Water quality protection a concern The Shuswap Water Action Team (SWAT) says more action is needed to prevent water quality in the area from deteriorating. Shuswap Lake is being attacked from a host of sources, including sewage in its various forms, says the organization in a recent news release following a community meeting in Blind Bay. Contaminates include run-off containing animal manure, chemicals and fertilizers, septic leakages – especially during high water, treated sewer discharges, inadequate septic regulations, houseboat and boat sewage discharges, lack of pump-out facilities, along with many others. SWAT calls these sources a great concern as they deposit bacteria, disease, ecoli, chemicals, as well as pharmaceuticals into our drinking water.

This, however, is not the group’s only concern. The Invasive Species Council of BC (ISCBC) are warning that Zebra and Quagga mussels are getting closer to B.C. waters. The species have already infiltrated lakes throughout the U.S. and Canada by attaching themselves to boats. “If they get into our water, it could have a dramatic and serious negative impact on the watershed,” says SWAT, noting these invasive species are known for clogging residential waterline intakes and treatment plants. Other problems caused by the sharp shells which line the shorelines, making footwear a requirement for visitors. “They colonize on watercraft hulls, engines, steering components, recreational equipment, and can

clog engine cooling systems and damage boat motor,” says the release. The mussels also attach themselves to aquatic plants and submerged surfaces, including piers, pilings, and water intakes. Species of fish, such as sockeye salmon, kokanee and trout, could be severely depleted as a result an infestation of Zebra and Quagga mussels, and poisonous blue-green algae may also be created. “It would result in serious and permanent impacts on our ecology, lifestyle, recreation, and economy,” says SWAT. “The financial

impacts alone would be very significant.” The organization states that while ISCBC only recently added aquatic species to their program, it is imperative community leaders and residents coordinate with them on this new threat. Recently, the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process’ political leadership team from around the Shuswap watershed unanimously voted to continue SLIPP into the future. SWAT is now calling for SLIPP to become a Shuswap watershed board with permanent funding to address

Plans underway for school’s centennial Residents of Blind Bay and surrounding areas are invited for coffee at the Blind Bay Hall on July 11 at 10 a.m., to hear about the plans being developed for a celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the opening of the Blind Bay School. Coffee and refreshments will be served and there will be an opportunity to learn more about the interesting history of the area, says Ann Chidwick, who is writing a book based on Blind Bay’s history to be released in 2014. “When today’s residents of the bay look at all the homes that have been built in the area, they have little knowledge of the hardworking people who

homesteaded here,” says Chidwick. Among the snippets of information that will be shared over coffee will be: • How the first settlers stepped off the train at Notch Hill and found a path to pristine Shuswap Lake where fish and wildlife were abundant; • How an early settler, Frank Barnard, skated to Copper Island while chasing a coyote with his hockey stick; • A grizzly bear was raiding the Barnard garden and a trap was set. On return, the trap had been dragged away. Two men went after the trapped, very angry bear and were caught by him. What was the result?

• How the settlers coped before there were roads and easy access to food supplies and medical help; • The historic sites that have been identified in the area. As more settlers arrived, the need for a school became evident. John Reedman wrote to the board of education requesting a school and teacher for his six children, and was allocated the grand sum of $250 toward the cost of a school house. The remainder of the money was collected from the families living in the area. In 1912, Norm McLean donated three acres of property and the school was built with volunteer labour during 1913 by work

bees called for each Saturday. The school opened January 3, 1914 with eight pupils enrolled, and Miss May Read as the first teacher. The one-room, white-sided school stood on the site of the present-day Blind Bay Memorial Hall at 2510 Blind Bay Road. The school was closed in 1951 as part of the province’s consolidation of school districts. Some of the students went to the Sorrento School and others were bused to a consolidated school at Carlin. The vacant school then became the Blind Bay Hall, and a new memorial hall was built and opened in 1980.

Parks plan outlines development Director’s notes Paul Demenok

Following an extensive public consultation process, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C Parks Plan was finalized in 2003. The plan’s vision statement, which provides us with a guide as to what we are striving to achieve, is quite lengthy, and may be summarized as follows: • Our parks and trails system protects and preserves our natural environment while providing a wide range of recreational opportunities. • Our parks provide access to Shuswap, White and other Area C lakes where residents and visitors can enjoy beach activities, and access boat launches and moorages. • Our trails provide linkages between communities offering scenic opportunities where we can walk, hike, or ride a bike or a horse. Designated trails offer year-round motorized recreation

opportunities. • Our parks and trails are highly visible and provide a major attractant for visitors, contributing substantially to tourism and providing significant economic benefits. Parks preserve large tracts of natural habitat where plants and animals thrive and which provide opportunities to understand and appreciate natural values and our place in the environment. • Our parks and trails system works in partnership with residents, First Nations, businesses, community organizations and government to ensure that they remain, over time, as sources of inspiration and places of recreation for a growing community. Five categories of parks are described in the parks plan and include waterfront/ marine, community recreation, trail corridor, conservation (natural environment) and special feature parks. Currently there are 25 active CSRD-operated parks in Area C, the majority of these being waterfront and community recreation parks. The complete Area C Parks Plan along with an activity matrix, which shows the activities available at each park within the region, can be accessed

on the CSRD website. Ongoing development of parks within Area C is overseen by the Parks Advisory Commission, a group of dedicated volunteers who meet quarterly to review and provide guidance to an extensive working list of priorities. For 2013, new initiatives include: • Gail Road -development of a hand boat launch site, parking, day use area and toilet; • Blind Bay Beachesinstallation of paving stones, fix stairs, ramp and retaining wall, new signage at Pebble and Sandy Beaches; • Shannon Beachdevelopment of accessible parking and beach access, fix path, staircase and retaining wall; • Sorrento/Blind Bay-repair drainage, playground edging and landscaping; • Sunnybrae-upgrade parking lot and install toilet; • Wild Rose Baybuild loop trail and install site furniture; • Caen Road-upgrade drainage and landscaping; Ongoing initiatives with work continuing in 2013 include; • Mt. Baldy Trailbuild circular trail • Whitehead Roadbuild boat launch;

• McBride-improve parking, install toilet, picnic tables, garbage can and trails. Marcin Pachinski is the CSRD Parks and Recreation Team Leader. He describes the Area C Parks strategy as “based on local community input, providing a variety of recreational experiences and being mindful of long term maintenance costs.” During the Canada Day celebrations in Blind Bay members of the Area C Parks Commission manned a booth in the display area and collected input from residents and visitors. Others may provide their input at a series of public open houses in Area C planned for August/ September. The feedback I have received about the parks in Area C has been overwhelmingly positive. It is clear that parks development is a very important issue for the residents of Area C, and this is one reason why I’ve made this a high priority item on my agenda. I think we should all thank and offer our appreciation to the volunteers sitting on the Parks Advisory Commission for a job very well done. If you would like

to suggest topics for future articles, or participate in our community advisory panel surveys, please contact me at pdemenok@ csrd.bc.ca. Paul Demenok is the Area C director for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

“Preparing for SHAVUOT (Feast of Weeks) PENTECOST”

Schools are not supposed to be responsible for feeding students... ...but we do. At the Salmon Arm Storefront School students often come hungry and rarely bring a lunch. Like most, if not all, of the schools in the district we provide food for our students. Not all of the food comes from the school itself. The BC government provides fruit and vegetables once a month. However, the greatest support that we receive is local support. Askews and Save-On -More donate gift cards. The United Church makes a significant contribution to fund our weekly breakfast program. The Shuswap Pie Company and The Little Red Hen contribute large amounts of food every week. Please thank these business owners for their generosity the next time you see them.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Making the transition to Independent Living … can you afford it? Many people resist change – the bigger the change, the greater the likelihood of stress. That is why where people choose to live is an important decision, especially as they age. Many older adults prefer to stay at home as they age. It has the advantage of being a familiar place; you know your neighbors and the community. There is a variety of home care services that can help you maintain your independence within the comfort of your own home. Staying in your own home is not always an option once your mobility is limited. Being unable to leave your home frequently and socialize with others can lead to isolation, loneliness, and depression. So, even if you choose to stay in your own home, it’s important to have a plan for the future when your needs may change and staying at home may no longer be the best option. The first step in this process, if your health permits is an Independent Living facility. Independent Living is

a general name for any housing arrangement designed exclusively for seniors. Other terms include retirement communities, retirement homes, senior housing and senior apartments. These may be apartment complexes, condominiums or rooming style homes. In general, the housing is friendlier to older adults, is more compact, designed with mobility issues in mind and includes meals, housekeeping and laundry services. Making the transition from living on your own to an independent living setting has become unaffordable for many seniors. Forced

to make ends meet on their Canada Pension, Old Age Pension and possibly a small amount of savings, seniors have found themselves in a position of not having enough monthly income to afford the necessary housing changes. If they are not yet ready for Assisted Living or Complex Care which may qualify them for Government Health Authority funding, more and more Seniors are finding themselves unable to pay the sometimes high cost of Independent Living homes. Fortunately, more affordable Independent Living homes are becoming available. These

more affordable homes provide all the same services as the more expensive ones, but come with smaller studio type suites. Each studio has a 2 piece ensuite washroom with larger shared bathing facilities available to residents. Trading a bit of space is well worth the savings these homes are able to offer. Their one “all inclusive” monthly fee includes 24 hour security, rent, all utilities (except phone) meals, housekeeping, laundry and more. As an increasing number of seniors are finding themselves with limited monthly income it is important to shop around and research all your options. Don’t be afraid to ask family or a friend to help you through this process. The B.C. Housing Safer program does offer some assistance to those low income seniors that qualify.

Sockeyes slice through summer June was a great month for the Salmon Arm Sockeyes. The team worked hard and took home first place overall at their home meet on June 8 and 9, and many records were broken. Chantel Jeffrey rewrote several records, including the 50-metre butterfly, the 100-m individual medley and the 50-m freestyle in Division 3 girls. Julianne Moore smashed the 50-m Free and 100-m IM record in Division 2 Girls, taking home a gold. Brayden Gilliam took home the 100-m fly record in Division 6 boys. Many aggregates were won through all divisions. Rowan Trow won gold, Eric Moore took home silver and Connor Levins took home bronze in Division 1 Boys. Matthew Bushell won gold in Division 2 boys. Chantel Jeffrey took

home gold and Emma Levins won bronze in Division 3 girls. Stephen Moore took home gold in Division 3 boys. Emma-Leigh Chapman won gold, and Claire Hall took home silver in Division 4 girls, while Division 4 boys saw Sunny Pickup taking home the bronze. Tricia Fair won gold in Division 5 girls.

All the swimmers, new and old, swam well at the home meet. A week later, on the June 15/16 weekend, 24 Salmon Arm Sockeyes took the trip to Lumby. Sixteen records were broken over the weekend and the hot weather made for fast swims by all. Stephen Moore rewrote the Boys Division 3 100-m IM, 50-m free, 50-m breaststroke and 100-m free records. Julianne Moore smashed the 100-m IM, 50-m free, 50-m fly and 50-m breast records in Division 2 girls. Brayden Gilliam took home the 100-m fly Division 6 boys re-

GARDENS

Beautiful Downtown Salmon Arm Gardens It’s not just private gardens that have the monopoly of beauty and colour. The planters and small plots that you can see on the streets of downtown Salmon Arm are just as arresting. As you wander down Hudson Street there are hanging baskets on the decorative streetlamps. These baskets are overflowing with pinks, purples, reds and whites. Continue down the street and you can see large planters at the edge of the sidewalk and these are equally as attractive. Alive with flowers and a variety of different plants, these planters are spaced regularly along the way. As you come to Alexander Street there are more planters tucked away under the trees. When you approach the Ross Street intersection the plaza has flowers and plants well in evidence. On either side of the plaza stage, behind the well manicured expanse of grass, there are small plots. Across from the stage at the corner is the beautiful fountain and surrounding that is greenery and even more colourful flowers. The next time you find yourself in downtown Salmon Arm, whether just visiting or on business, take a moment, stop and smell the flowers along the way.

Birthday celebrations By Cavelle Layes

MaRKet NeWs staff

The young and the young at heart could be seen lining the streets Monday as they waited for the Canada Day parade to begin. With the sun beating down, many could be seen standing with an ice cream in hand as they awaited the first sign of the day’s celebrations. Chase RCMP and Mayor Ron Anderson

helped lead the way, with the Chase royalty not far behind. A cops and robbers chase broke out as the Gizeh Shriners Keystone Kops put on a comic display. Other participants included the Chase Summer Fun Camp coordinators strutting their stuff. Safety Mart got creative with its float, paddling their way down Shuswap Avenue in a dragon boat complete with drummer.

As the Chase fire department closed off the parade, a sea of red and white filled Memorial Park as the activities got into full swing. Many people could be seen taking a break at the beach and testing out the new Chase wharf, its bright red railings coinciding with the day’s theme. The Lions Club helped satisfy appetites by serving burgers. Although the temperatures stayed high,

the crowds remained until nightfall. Playgrounds were full of energetic children, and families could be seen scattered on their blankets throughout the park. The fireworks began as scheduled, set off from the top of Matty’s Hill. The display appears to get bigger and better each year, with the crowd bursting into applause after every combination.

Focusing on green technology

Adams Lake: Band pursues environmentally friendly opportunities. By Martha Wickett

market news staff

Large solar panels rotate slowly above the roof of the large complex, while more panels gather energy on the walls of the building. This is the retrofitted Adams Lake Recreation and Conference Centre, which includes a full-size gymnasium, a commercial kitchen, an exercise and weight room, individual meeting rooms, and seating in the gym for 450. Nearby is the acclaimed Chief Atahm School, the only Secwepemctsin, or Shuswap language, immersion program within the Secwepemc Nation. The Secwepemc are the indigenous people who inhabit the south central Interior of B.C. Like the recreation and conference centre, the school, which was built about 15 years ago, is powered in part by ‘solar-thermal’ energy, a combination of solar and geothermal. Atop a water reservoir required for the geothermal system sits a greenhouse, which was built to use excess heat and power. It’s heated yearlong at no cost. To date the gym and school have experienced an approximate 40 per cent reduction in heating costs, while making a significant impact on the band’s goal of reducing its carbon footprint, says Albert Quinn, manager for the Adams Lake Indian Band. The Adams Lake

Indian Band has been pursuing a green path for several years, one that is beginning to reap benefits. Chief Nelson Leon explains the band sees the benefit of green energy as well as sustainable agri-business. “It’s demonstrating how we can move forward while still maintaining and looking after the environment.” Previously, the main revenue and employment generator was the forest industry, including logging and a lumber mill. However, as the industry struggled, the band began searching for other opportunities. In striving to bring back an earlier reliance on agriculture, irrigation was an obstacle, with no access to water other than the South Thompson River. At a time when the

Chief Nelson Leon Neskonlith Indian Band had received funding to help repair irrigation pipes that had melted in a fire, the Adams Lake Band decided this would be an opportune time to bring the line to Adams Lake land, says Quinn. “Somebody said, you know what, this

n Solar panels help reduce heating costs and the carbon footprint of the Adams Lake band’s Chief Atahm School. would be really good to tag into the line, but also the water coming down from the dam.” Irrigation lines have now been completed and, to date, 100 acres of unused land has been brought to life. Another 300 acres are slated for this year and, the target for completion of the project is 1,100 acres. Last year the first crop was oats, with an alfalfa mix now growing. Possibilities for the future include canola and cereal grains, produce and wine grapes. A small hydroelectric project is envisioned. Adams Lake is consulting with the Neskonlith band regarding the feasibility of harnessing power from the dam at Niskonlith Lake. Still with the green theme, in 2007, the band established a community green energy plan, “to explore seriously green en-

ergy… and to reduce the carbon footprint by as much as 25 per cent by 2020 or 2025,” explained Quinn. Wind power is on the horizon. After exploring several options, the band identified half a dozen locations within

Albert Quinn Secwepemc territory as potential generators. “It’s probably safe to say we’re two years away from having enough information to decide – but it sure looks good,” said Quinn. Another option being investigated is what’s called “pump-

back storage,” Quinn explains, noting much work is still to be done in terms of environmental assessments, design and permitting. Elmer Lake, also called Star Lake, sits part way up the mountain that overlooks the Adams Lake community. Pump-back storage would mean capturing water that sometimes floods homes at the bottom and pumping it back up when power is at its lowest cost. Then it is released when power is at its highest demand and cost. “It is quite an economically viable process,” said Quinn. “But it’s not just about economic viability… Here’s some green energy, renewable green energy, and that’s the key – if we can do it in an environmentally sound way and put some green energy into the grid.”

Pool gets another intake Due to some recent changes, the village has installed an additional intake in the Chase public pool. This was at a cost of $4,500, but was required at the request of Interior Health as part of legislative changes.

Hire local The village has been working at improving the exterior appearance of the museum. Some of the recent upgrades that can be seen are a brick wall along the side of the sidewalk. This addition has been made in an attempt to make the edge of the property more visible and appealing.

the program is planned, moving to a full-day conference. The event will also feature Respect of Being A Boy, open to boys ages 12 to 14, allowing all children in that age bracket to take part. Program coordinators requested the use of two venues to host the event as well as a waived or reduced insurance fee for the event. They also asked the village for volunteers to help throughout the day. Council passed a motion to donate $250 and waived the fee for the community hall, as well as the cost of insurance. Representatives were directed to the recreation society regarding the waiving of fees for the Art Holding Arena.

council considers request to raise fence A request has been made for a variance permit which will allow a fence to be built at the apartments on 539 Cottonwood St. The property is situated directly adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway. The owner of the apartments has recently bought the building and is trying to fix it up for potential renters. However, they are having trouble renting upper level units due to the unwanted noise

from the highway. The owner is requesting that a fence be constructed at 14-feet high, which would run only along the length of property parallel to the highway as a way of reducing noise. The new fence would not continue at this height to other areas of the property, and would be about 70 metres in length. The property already has a fence in the location suggested; the applicant wishes to

construct a new fence in the same location. It would be 2.3 metres higher than what is currently allowed by the village – just higher than the semi trucks driving along the highway. The applicant has received approval from the Ministry of Transportation for the fence, but it is subject to village approval. The applicant has also received confirmation that the water line running through the prop-

erty will not be a factor in the construction of a fence. Council members said they are willing to consider the request and made a motion to continue the process. This does not mean the fence has been approved, but that village staff have permission to continue to gather information as well as send out letters to neighbours. The issue will be back before council in the near future.

Kids need outdoor time Children’s Corner Tanja Carlson

Precious cargo

James murray/markeT news

n Aaron Alcott gladly carries a tired Dayson McKinnon and daughter Anika on his shoulders as they make their way along the wharf.

Lets get outside! Children are naturally curious; what better place for them to be curious than to be outdoors. Children in the early years learn through their senses and through hands on experiences. Being outdoors gives children the freedom to explore with all their senses; to watch, to listen, and to investigate, to smell, to touch, to balance on rocks, to feel the wind and to observe the changes in the weather. They become more

inventive through trial and error. They develop persistence through engaging with natural materials, testing out their ideas, observing cause and effect and problem solving. This can all happen while playing with water, sand or branches. Use your imagination and engage the children in deciding what they want or need. As long as adults provide the materials and tools (i.e. buckets, shovels, magnifying glasses, access to water, sand or mud – yes, mud – it can be washed off) for the children, they will do the exploration on their own. Art exploration outdoors provides more freedom of expression as it is easier to clean up or there is no need for any cleanup. The child can move their art to another

Their goal: “to work to raise the awareness of the importance of play during the early developmental years.” It reflects the City Parks and Recreation 2012 Master plan to “create opportunities for children to interact meaningfully with nature and to enhance the play spaces within neighbourhood parks.” Watch for Together, Relaxed, Unplugged, Exploring in nature (TRUE in the Trees).
