CSRD puts hold on SLIPP funding By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

The Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) has run aground again amid opposing views – at least for two months. Members of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board of Directors deferred a decision to allocate $50,000 from the regional feasibility study fund to explore the feasibility of continuing to fund and participate in SLIPP. Area E Rural Sicamous direc-

tor Rhona Martin, who was absent from the July 18 meeting, supported the move in an email requesting a consultant be hired to explore the future of the project that is in the final year of a three-year pilot project. “The study would require a fresh set of eyes and would include local governments that are involved at this time; that being CSRD, the Thompson Nicola Regional District and North Okanagan Regional District,” she wrote in her June 26

email, suggesting the study indicate what SLIPP “should be or if it should be, and who and how it will be paid for.” Area D Falkland-Silver CreekRanchero director René Talbot was the first to protest. “I don’t support spending $50,000 at this point until one question is answered from the directors. Are they gonna continue to put money in and at what level?” he asked. “I think that is a more important question than spending all

that money to hire someone.” Talbot reiterated his “total support” for SLIPP and noted Area D has contributed $75,000 over the past three years. “We we do have the Salmon River and we’ve also approved $15,000 to find sites along the river in need of restoration,” he said. “We’re trying to improve the quality of the water that goes into the lake.” Noting he was “torn over the See Area directors on page 2

Area directors at odds

Continued from front whole SLIPP issue,” Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan pointed out that while there have been press releases “waxing poetical” from Fraser Basin Council, the organization now administering the project, he wants substantive results. “What have we accomplished for our $1 million?” he asked, noting Area F has contributed the lion’s share of the funding and that he would support an independent consultant to examine the project, including how it should be funded in the future – if the board could agree to continue. “I have complained loud and clear about the discrepancies in funding. We’re not generating the majority of the pollution in the lake.” Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton was even more adamant in his opposition to voting in favour of the process until it is made very clear who is spending what on what.

“The whole SLIPP thing is basically taboo in Sicamous,” he said, pointing out that at a stakeholders’ meeting in that community in June, he agreed with concerns about water quality with regard to drinking water and recreation, but heard from one government agency their perspective that their concern was for fish. “I won’t support this until we as directors decide that we even want it.” Trouton expressed frustration at the way, he says SLIPP, a body that proclaims it has no compliance powers, did a catalogue of docks on the lake and promptly handed it over to the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Resource Operations, who have plans to remove several docks in the Sicamous area. “We paid them to do the studies and now the ministry is going ahead with compliance,” he said, announcing he would not back Martin and Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok’s request to

spend $50,000. “I’m asking for a meeting with regards to removal of docks by SLIPP. I’m not liking it and I’m gonna go against what Demenok wants.” At a break in the meeting, Trouton charged the province with downloading on regional and municipal governments and First Nations.

Darrell Trouton “They’re already mandated to do this work,” he said, noting at the June meeting it was made very clear that the main problem with pollution in the lake is area rivers and agricultural run-off. “They’re using our funding program to do their work and then they give us what they tell us we want.”

Following Trouton’s motion to defer approval of hiring a consultant for two months, Demenok suggested SLIPP has suffered from misinformation based on poor communication in the past. He suggested the work of a consultant could be a parallel process to getting agreement about who is willing to participate and to what financial extent. “I understand what you’re saying, we need to go back. We agreed to focus on water quality and safety and that has yet to be defined,” he said. “The question will be addressed at a steering committee meeting in September and the other regional districts will be there.” CSRD board chairperson David Raven supported deferral, noting director Martin has “very strong feelings” about SLIPP and should be allowed to share them. Directors voted unanimously to support deferral for two months.

Stomp organizers enthusiastic about Sicamous By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAff

If home is where the heart is, it looks as though the Summer Stomp has found its place in Sicamous. Preliminary reports from organizers behind the community’s inaugural Summer Stomp and Burnout Charity Party indicate the event was a success for all involved. The Summer Stomp Committee’s Steve Hammer says the event, which has relocated from Silver Creek to Sicamous, exceeded expectations, and he credited the District of Sicamous, the Sicamous chamber, local businesses and all the volunteers for helping to make this happen. “The energy level was just so over the top positive,” said Hammer. “It was really

just a heartwarming feeling everywhere you went.” Hammer estimated there were around 2,200 people who attended the Stomp grounds. But he says there may have been another 1,500 to 2,000 who just attended the burnout events on Main Street. Mayor Darrell Trouton says he was very impressed with the four-day event and the feedback he received. “I met with a lot of the business owners up and down Main Street,” said Trouton. “Everybody said it was busier than heck, they really appreciated it, and that’s what we need for our town.” Sicamous and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Michelle Wolff says that by and large she’s only heard good things about the event, and that it was

a boon for some businesses. “It’s obviously helped a few businesses,” said Wolff. “And that’s my thought – it’s not going to help everybody, but we try to look at the businesses that don’t necessarily prosper from this and is there a different type of event that we can bring in for them in the future to help spread the wealth? This being said, at least a few more people can keep jobs for a little longer.” From a policing perspective, Sgt. Dave Dubnyk said he and the RCMP maintained a positive working relationship with the event organizers and, from his perspective, all worked out well. “I made it fairly clear to the organizers right at the outset, that if everybody is behaving themselves, it’s going to be a great

weekend for all, and if they’re not, all bets are off,” said Dubnyk. “And we had enough members here to push back if we had to. But it just didn’t come to that.” To help with the weekend, the Sicamous RCMP brought in other policing resources including the gang task force, traffic services, police dog services, a marine enforcement unit and the Canadian Pacific Railway police. Hammer says the large police presence was expected, and that the local detachment was great to work with. As for the future, Hammer is hopeful the event will continue to call Sicamous home. “This is the new home of the Summer Stomp and Burnout for as long as it continues to be successful and we can have it in Sicamous,” he said.

Gardom Lake is one step closer to getting a lake management plan. Concerned residents of the Gardom Lake area were given the opportunity to provide habitat information at a meeting July 16. About 15 people showed up for what was a low-key, informationgathering event, said Columbia Shuswap Regional District Parks and recreation manager Marcin Pachcinski, noting Trina Koch of Summit Environmental Consultants took notes on local input related to wildlife. CSRD directors authorized spending up to $35,000 to retain a consultant to develop a lake management plan at the June board meeting. Approval came after directors heard that Gardom Lake is experiencing pressures stemming from its popularity as a recreational lake, particularly since the province stocked the lake with trout – trout that are now approaching trophy size. There is currently one

Members of The Friends of Gardom Lake, a local stewardship group, protested the work, which was subsequently halted. As part of the July 16 meeting, staff and residents visited both sites, said Pachcinski, who noted that when discussion threatened to become debate about boat launch development,

he made it very clear the meeting was for information-gathering purposes only. “We also made note that a lot of these larger issues will be considered through the Gardom Lake Management plan that the board supported funding,” he said. “The main environmental concerns were related to the trucks going into the water, as well as the yearly scouring of the boat launch site that deposits gravel into the water, as well as trash and cigarette butts at the Teal Road site because of a lack of facilities.” Overall, Pachcinski believes those who attended were satisfied. “People did provide a lot of feedback and were satisfied to do so,” he said. “So in that sense, I think it was a positive meeting, because there is a lot of local knowledge of the sites and the lake, and it’s important that the knowledge be captured in the environmental assessment.” Pachcinski is expecting the consultant’s environmental assessment report in early August.

Victoria loses battle over smart meters

You can fight Big Brother, and win, it turns out. That sound you heard last Thursday was the shouts of joy from some 60,000 B.C. Hydro customers who emerged victorious after fighting against the installation of smart meters in their homes, crying foul about potential health hazards and privacy invasion. The provincial government has announced those hold-out customers can elect to keep their analog meters until they break down — or their accuracy seal expires—or they can receive a digital meter with its transmission function turned off. But retaining the analog meter or getting a deactivated smart meter will come with a price, roughly $20 per month to read the meter, as well as $100 to have a deactivated smart meter installed. Smart meter opponents have long questioned the potential adverse health effects of the new meters, with some claiming the meters are an invasion of privacy as it also gathers data about power use during various parts of the day. Others objected to having the smart meter shoved down their throats. Now the question is whether the 1.8 million customers who did have smart meters installed, regret not having fought harder against the tech change. Judging from the volume of emails this newspaper has received, this one shapes up to be another case similar to the introduction of the HST. For many people, it’s not about the smart meters or the tech they employ, but the manner in which it was introduced. And certainly, the province probably realized this was going to be a case of where it could not win the public relations battle. – Richmond Review

OpiniOn

Taking a step back into my past After two days of unbearably, hot, muggy weather I’d had enough. I could have stayed there for the full four days that I’d planned, but then again, the way I looked at it, I could hang around indoors, doing nothing in my own house and it wouldn’t be costing me by the day. The morning I left, the road coming down from Dee Lake seemed particularly long, winding, dusty and bumpy. I don’t know how many times I had to swerve out of the way to miss one pothole, just so I could hit another. By the time I turned off onto the highway, my mouth was parched. Driving along the shimmering blacktop, I thought about all the fishing trips we went on as kids with my father and how we would always stop by the Half Moon Café for a treat on our way home. Milkshakes were served in a thick milkshake glass and the waitress would always leave the metal container that she had made the milkshake in on the table

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray so you could have a second portion, a bottle of pop was 25 cents and ice-cream cones were, well all I know for sure is that it was real ice cream made out of real cream. Most of the drivethrough soft ice cream places nowadays serve up some sort of edible oil byproduct with artificial flavourings. It’s just not the same. Things change. I was just about home, ready to turn off Highway 97B onto to the Trans-Canada Highway to head into Salmon Arm proper, when I noticed a little ice cream stand with a sign that said Johnny’s Ice Cream Parlor. The building, which stands in front of a machine shop

just off the road, is all done up like something out of the 1950s. No pun intended, but the first thing that went through my mind was “Cool.” I pulled into their parking area, got out, and as I walked up to the window to order an ice cream cone – butterscotch, two scoops – I could hear the voice of Buddy Holly drifting out the window. He was singing That’ll Be The Day. “Yes, very cool,” I thought. The first lick told me that it was real ice cream – with enough butterscotch topping to make your heart sing. As I stood there enjoying my ice cream cone, I peered into the machine shop and saw a fellow working on a ’50s hot rod. This place was getting cooler my the minute. The woman who had served me came over, introduced herself as Janis and invited me inside the ice cream parlor to have a look around. We began talking and she told me that all the money they make from the ice cream parlour is being

used to send their daughter to Australia in September. I could not help but notice a little trepidation in her voice when she said that her daughter will be gone for two years. I still had two dollars and some-odd cents change in my hand so I dropped it into the tips jar. They seemed like a nice couple and I’m sure their daughter will have some great experiences in the land Down Under. When I got up to leave, she handed me a little brochure that said “Take a step into the past at Johnny’s Ice Cream Parlour.” She could not have possibly known just how much of a step back into my past those few minutes were for me. Somehow, the thought of another whole month of searing heat doesn’t seem quite so bad now that I know there is a “cool” place to get real ice cream. And if I do manage to get away fishing again, I also know now that I have a special little place to visit for a treat on my way home.

Crafting a family success

By Cavelle Layes

MARKET NEWS STAff

They came from across the globe, but their contribution to the Shuswap’s artistic community is undeniable. Bruce, Laura and son Grant Nyeste have been creating remarkable works of art for years. Bruce and Laura picked up the skill almost by accident in 1977. Still living in New Zealand with two little kids running around the house, Laura decided to take up an art class at a local school. Taking a liking to pottery, she discovered that she could rent a wheel for cheap and brought one home. Once in the house she set the wheel up with Bruce’s help, and got to work. Bruce didn’t know much about pottery and certainly never tried it before. Yet soon enough, he found himself by the wheel creating works of his own. He fell in love with the craft and a few months later quit his job and took up the art full time. Together, Laura and Bruce began honing their talent, diversifying their skills and creating beautiful pieces. Making a name for themselves in New Zealand wasn’t easy however. With more than 18,000 professional potters in the area, competition to make a living was fierce. It isn’t like Canada, Bruce said, explaining that in New Zealand they were not permitted to import any goods that could be created there. In Canada, however, goods are supplied in large part by China, Japan and other areas. This means that we do not need to rely on homegrown talent to create quality items. Yet, despite the large population of potters in New Zealand, the couple earned success. “We were trying hard to feed our young family and pay bills,”

n Mud, Sweat and Tears honey pots are popular personal and gift items and often purchased as souvenirs of a visit to the Shuswap. They are available in several venues in the area. See them, too at the High Country Pottery Sale Aug. 3 and 4 in at Sorrento Memorial Hall. explained Bruce. “We just produced to supply the market.” That is where many young artists go wrong he said, pointing out that they just want to make the artsy things. “If you want to make money, you need to make your 500 coffee mugs,” Bruce said. “You need to be disciplined too.” In 1981, the couple moved to Canada and immediately began honing their craft in their new environment. Not long after moving they opened up their studio, Mud Sweat and Tears in Blind Bay, and have been creating a farreaching reputation ever since. The duo along with their son Grant go through between 12 and 16 tons of clay each year and create tens of thousands of pieces. The family business produces a full range of high-fired functional pottery items including casserole dishes, coffee mugs, serving trays and more. They also play with crystalline glazed porcelain, something only about 120 potters in North America are skilled enough to do. The results are stunning. Their best-selling pieces, however, are honey pots filled with 10 ounces of Nicola Valley honey produced in Merritt. Sales of the pots alone are in the range of 3,000 to 5,000

per year, with Bruce estimating about 150,000 sold to date. The popular honey pots are available in several craft markets and stores in the Shuswap. While a large number of their items can be found in galleries throughout the surrounding areas, the family also attends about 12 shows a year from Vancouver to Calgary, and throughout the Okanagan Valley. Their artistic pieces have become so popular they are unable keep up with demand. “We turn down about 300 stores a year,” Bruce said. While there is little doubt that the family has struck success with their talent, the question is, when will they decide it is time to close up shop and relax. “I do not see retirement in the near future. I have been potting for 35 to 36 years and I enjoy it now more than ever,” he said. “Most people retire and find something to do like we do; we don’t even need to retire to do it.” You can learn more about Mud Sweat and Tears pottery by visiting the Nyeste’s website at www.mudsweatandtears.ca. Their work will also be available for sale at the upcoming High Country Pottery Sale being held on Saturday, Aug. 3 and Sunday, Aug. 4 at Sorrento Memorial Hall.

Elvis arrives on Hayride MARKET NEWS STAff

He’s got the moves, he’s got the voice, he’s got the look, but it is the ‘it-factor’ that makes him the best at what he does. Adam Fitzpatrick has been a local favourite for many years. Known for his uncanny Elvis impersonations, Fitzpatrick has been topping competitions across the province for years. Despite his ability to wow crowds as he travels the Elvis circuit, Fitzpatrick is never fully satisfied. As a result he has spent countless hours perfecting his act by studying the real King in youtube videos, footage of on-stage concerts and interviews. Fitzpatrick has a reputation as being pretty darn close to the real deal, something he relates back to his attention to detail. The young Elvis has analyzed the King’s movements, from his walk to his signature dance moves, and taken note of his many characteristics.

Believing that it was all of these little pieces that made the music legend what he was, Fitzpatrick has put special care into mimicking them the best he can. It wasn’t until he took his act to a world level, however, that he realized just how good he was. Last year Fitzpatrick took the stage at the King of the World competition in Memphis where he was pitted against the world’s greatest Elvis impersonators. They came in all shapes, sizes and nationalities, but despite the variety of talent there could only be one winner. Fitzpatrick competed against the best in the business, the same people he had learned from through studying their moves on the Internet. While it was only his first competition at this level, Fitzpatrick managed to beat a large chunk of his competitors, placing 15th in the world in 2012. This was just the beginning for the young

Seymour Arm residents to vote on electrical service By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

To light up, or not to light up; that is the question. Some 451 Seymour Arm property owners will be given their say about getting electricity to the community in a Sept. 28 referendum. At their July 18 board meeting in Salmon Arm, Columbia Shuswap Regional directors agreed to use $7,500 from the rural feasibility study to finance the referendum. This sparked a question by Area D Falkland-Silver CreekRanchero director René Talbot on how voters would be advised of the referendum. He pointed out several people who

own cabins in Seymour Arm reside in the Vernon area and asked why notices would not be placed in the Vernon Morning Star. “The last time, people weren’t aware of the wharf (referendum), and they ended up having two or three days,” he said. “It’s great you’re letting people who live there know, but what about the others?” Talbot also wanted to know when forms requesting mail-out ballots would be available. Carolyn Black, CSRD’s deputy manager of Corporate Administration Services, said request forms would be available online Sept. 3, giving voters threeand-a-half weeks to re-

turn their forms, receive their ballots and send them back to the CSRD office.

Larry Morgan “People can also pick them up at our office and get them back by fax,” said Black. Area F director Larry Morgan noted the regional district has already held one open house regarding the referendum and will be holding another one in

August. “We are doing everything we can to make sure people know,” he said, noting the referendum is being held when seasonal people are still spending a lot of time in Seymour Arm. “If they’re not aware of this I don’t know where they’ve been. There has to be some responsibility on the part of people up there to make themselves aware.” If the referendum is successful, property owners within the service area will pay a parcel tax based on the physical characteristics of each parcel. Official notices advising eligible voters of the referendum will be placed in the Shuswap Market News in mid-August.

Dangerous dog bylaw coming to Area F By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District is biting down on a vicious dog problem in the North Shuswap. CSRD directors voted unanimously at the July 18 meeting to initiate a dog control service in Area F that is limited to dangerous dog complaints. “We’re following the Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s lead on this, we gleaned information from them,” Gary Holte, manager of environment and engineering services told directors. “This is limited to dangerous dogs only; it’s not the full-meal deal we have in area C (South Shuswap) and Ranchero.” Area F director Larry Morgan, who requested the limited service, said he has received many emails and phone calls and been stopped in the street by people who have been intimidated by dogs. “One of my neighbours was bitten in Scotch Creek and just last weekend, a woman in Magna Bay was attacked by four dogs,” Morgan said. “When

the RCMP respond to calls, the contractor is there to look after the animals and the cost to the taxpayer is about $3.16 per year.” Area D Falkland, Silver Creek, Ranchero director René Talbot supported Morgan, saying more than 300 people gave a raucous and resounding thumbs down to the idea in

Falkland. “It was terrible,” he said of the meeting. “And only a couple of days later, one of the people against it had to shoot a pit bull that came after him.” “The estimated cost of a dog control contractor to provide the proposed service for Area F in 2014 is $10,000, based on 15

dangerous calls per year,” said Holte in his report to the board. “As the tax is apportioned on improvements only, property owners with vacant lots will not pay for this service.” The regional district will launch a campaign in early 2014 to educate the public in Area F about the new service.

B.C. Conservatives search for leader By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

B.C. Conservative faithful weren’t asking John Cummins to leave, but they believe his departure opens up opportunities for the party. Cummins tendered his resignation Thursday after two years at the helm of the party. “Ultimately, it was not necessary for the party. He is a high stature individual and highly respected,” said Scott Anderson, the Conservative candidate in Vernon-Monashee during May’s provincial election. “There wasn’t a lot of pressure for him to step

down but there was an expectation he would do so after the election loss.” The Conservatives didn’t win one seat in the legislature and only received 4.8 per cent of the popular vote. “There are many reasons for the outcome of the election but I believe John stepping down is the right thing,” said Tom Birch, who represented the party in Shuswap in May. “He understood that he had taken the party as far as he could and it is time for a change. I am looking forward to our leadership race which is now being planned. I know some of the likely candidates and I believe

there is a lot that they and the B.C. Conservatives have to offer the province. We are starting now to be ready for 2017 (election).”

Tom Birch Anderson is also hopeful that a leadership race will renew energy within the party. “There are good people waiting to throw

their hat in the ring,” he said, adding that many British Columbians still want an option to the Liberals and the NDP. “It’s crucial to bring back some integrity to B.C. politics.” Cummins insists the party did bring thousands of people back into the political process. “While the ultimate result of the election was not what we were looking for, I’m proud to have been able to lead a team of credible candidates who re-engaged voters in a way that allowed them to express themselves and cast a ballot for a common-sense alternative,” he said.

Council adds new two-hour parking zone Come August, people parked on Hudson Avenue, between Alexander and Shuswap Streets, will have up to two hours to enjoy the downtown before having to move their

vehicles. Salmon Arm council has agreed to a recommendation by the city’s Downtown Parking Commission to extend the parking time from one hour to two in the designated area, for

a six-month trial period. This was at the urging of businessowner and Downtown Salmon Arm president Cookie Langenfeld, who said people are constantly being ticketed.

Councillors noted parking is cheap downtown and that there are longer-term options available. It was also stressed that employees shouldn’t be parking in prime spots.

Community Spirit SAFEWAY RAISES FUNDS FOR PROSTRATE CANCER

THE BARLEY STATION AND THE WICKED SPOON’S Cystic Fibrosis “Breath of Life” Golf Tournament raises over $6600

THE SPIRIT OF GIVING

Salmon Arm Safeway raised $14,800.00 for Prostate Cancer, making them 1st in district and 1st in BC What started off as a challenge to raise money for Prostate Cancer has now turned into a campaign for a healthy lifestyle. Many members of Safeway took interest in this challenge for the soul purpose of raising money for Prostate Cancer. Not only did our team, “Shuswap Bolters”, participate in the Fathers Day run, we were able to share the triumph as a team by winning the Corporate Spirit Trophy for the 4th year in a row. For our campaign, once we determined our agenda, we quickly went to work. Our store came together and came up with a multitude of different fundraising ideas such as bake sale, t-shirts, craft sales, bottle drive and our silent auction. On top of the money raised during our events, we could not have exceeded our goals without the commitment of our Cashiers, who did a remarkable job extending the “offer to donate” to each and every one of our customers. Our biggest thanks goes to our customers who helped us reach our goal everyday.

Two cheques were presented to Barb Hay, Treasurer of the Okanagan chapter of Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Kathy Bradford, owner of the Barley Station & Wicked Spoon, along with her son Mitchell, presented the cheques to Barb Hay and her daughter Tara. One cheque for $ 6611.00 was raised from our recent golf tournament put on by the Barley Station Brew Pub and the Wicked Spoon Cafe & Grill. The other cheque was for $ 833.00 from the sale of a board game made by Brian Ayotte and sold at the Wicked Spoon Cafe & Grill as a continuing fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis. Altogether we raised over $6600.00 for this very worthwhile cause.

Dan Caterer, manager of Kal Tire and Colin Glasser are proud that Kal Tire donated $1000.00 to charity. Not only that, but they had customers decide where the five $200.00 contributions would be dispersed. Four out of five donations stayed in the community to SPCA, Second Harvest, Shuswap Hospital Foundation and the Special Olympics. The final cheque was donated to BC children’s Hospital.. We thank all involved for their support of our community. Please continue to spread kindness and generosity.

Community Spirit salutes those businesses and organizations whose members go above and beyond to make their community a better place, either through donation campaigns or volunteer efforts. Has your business or organization participated in an effort to better your community or help others who are less fortunate? Tell us about it! Send the details and photos if you have them to the Salmon Arm Observer.

We want to showcase those who exemplify the best of Community Spirit!

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Health benefits of caffeine could outweigh negatives The pitfalls of caffeine consumption are well known, but the various health beneﬁts of caffeine are often overlooked. Excessive caffeine can make a person jittery and unable to fall asleep. However, caffeine can also prevent disease by boosting the immune system. Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a psychoactive stimulant drug. It is a naturally produced plant product that is most often found in coffee beans, tea and cocoa. Whether caffeine addiction is real or not is open for debate; however, regular coffee drinkers who stop drinking coffee have experienced caffeine withdrawal symptoms. In the last 60 years, researchers have conducted thousands of studies on caffeine and they’re continuing to study whether or not it’s addictive. Though few might be willing to say with certainty that caffeine is “good” for you, caffeine does have its strong points. * Fights damage-causing free radicals: Free radicals are molecules in the body that can attack healthy cells and cause damage that precipitates disease. Antioxidants are substances that eliminate free radicals in the body. Recent studies have shown that caffeine’s antioxidant activity actually ﬁghts free radicals quite well. In a study published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, the different chemical mechanisms of caffeine were studied in relation to free radicals. Researcher Jorge Rafael Leon-Carmona of Mexico found that a mecha-

nism called radical adduct formation, or RAF, was the main reason caffeine can protect against damage from free radicals. * Improves memory and brain function: Harvard University researchers have determined that men who drink four cups of caffeinated coffee a day are half as likely to develop Parkinson’s disease as those who don’t. The results are believed to be linked to caffeine’s stimulation of dopamine production in the body. Dopamine is a brain chemical that is responsible for alertness, problem-solving capabilities and feelings of pleasure. An Austrian study says caffeine can boost cognitive abilities for about 45 minutes, which means it may help individuals score better on tests or perform better in business meetings. There is also evidence that caffeine can delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. That’s because caffeine can block adenosine receptors in the brain. Adenosine slows down the neurological system so that the body can relax. However, adenosine may also contribute to the buildup of amyloid-beta, a toxic brain plaque that’s associated with Alzheimer’s disease. * Helps the heart: Although caffeine can cause blood pressure to rise because it constricts the arteries, caffeine does not appear to contribute much to the development of heart disease. In fact, scientists at Brooklyn College found people who drank four cups of caffeinated coffee daily had a 53 percent lower risk of dying of

heart disease than those who didn’t consume a cup of Joe. Individuals who do not already have hypertension can tolerate moderate coffee drinking, and over time their bodies actually may become accustomed to the temporary rise in blood pressure. * Aids with type 2 diabetes risk reduction: More than 125,000 participants were studied in a 20-year look at coffee consumption and its potential relationship to type 2 diabetes. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham & Women’s Hospital have found individuals who drank caffeinated coffee lowered their risk for type 2 diabetes considerably. Men saw a 50 percent reduced risk, and women saw their risk reduced by 30.

* Alleviates headaches: Caffeine is often a hidden component of analgesics. Working in conjunction with the pain medication, caffeine helps the body absorb the pain reliever more efﬁciently. This requires a smaller amount of the drug and brings relief faster. Some other people surmise that since caffeine is a natural mood booster, it also helps the body to feel better faster. Following this line of thinking, caffeine may help to prevent other pain associated with exercise, ﬁbromyalgia and arthritis. Sometimes caffeine is seen as the villain in a healthy living plan. Yet there is much research and ever-evolving theories that caffeine may be more help than hindrance.

Honouring the flowers We’re Back! GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

One of my favorite sayings is: “Flowers are God’s way of laughing.” This may be so, but for all of the gardeners and non-gardeners alike, this incredible variety of cultivated and natural trees, shrubs and plants of different scents, colours, sizes and textures continue to deliver a fantastic floral show every year. No flowering plants existed during the earlier time of the dinosaurs, but then almost overnight at around 125 million years ago, the first primitive Angiosperms – or flowering plants – arrived, and in great quantities at that. These plants were all dicots, or plants that have two seedling leaves, a network of veins in their leaves as well as flower parts with four to five petals, and the plant most closely resembling them today is our magnolia tree. At approximately 65 million years ago, the Tertiary Period began with the dinosaurs departing and the flowers, mammals and insects arriving – signalling a new era on earth. However, the climate started cooling

off around this time, so these plants had to evolve to not only cope with the cold, but to also survive and reproduce themselves. And this is how they did it. Some plants dropped their leaves with the woody, aerial parts remaining, which we call woody perennials. Others became herbaceous (relating to or characteristic of an herb as distinguished from a woody plant and is green and leaflike in appearance or texture) perennials, which died back to the ground each year, but the roots stayed alive to push out new growth in the spring. Then there’s the annuals that seeded out and died entirely during the cold weather, then relied on a coming spring to germinate their seed; and lastly, plants that formed a herbaceous creation the first season after germinating, which died back to the ground in winter with their root remaining alive. The following year, the plant put forth new leaves and a flower stalk, which would then set seed and die away like an annual. These we call biennials. As we all know, blossoms aren’t just for beauty – they perform the essential function of luring pollinating bats, bugs, butterflies and bees to the plant. It’s one of the greatest symbiotic (or buddy system) relationships in nature, whereby the plant provides nutritious pollen

for the critters, and in exchange, they survive as a species. In Rodale’s book titled Flowers, the author writes: “The purpose and meaning of flowers for people – no matter what their other functions – have to do with our capacities for higher perceptions. Flowers are thoroughly communicative of these meanings, speaking to our senses with their scents, shapes and colours, to our minds with their geometries and biology, and to our hearts with their messages of hope and cheer. “What a miracle of promise is the first blossom of the year – an ordinary little snowdrop, perhaps – that viewed alongside delphiniums or roses would be insignificant, but viewed against nature’s blank canvas is appreciated more than any other flower.” Flowers have long been part of almost every special occasion in our lives, such as for weddings and worship, memorials, ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds – be it a new baby, new job or a new home. They’re always a wonderful surprise to brighten someone’s day, can grace a dinner table or front door entrance, be a pretty adornment in your hair and can convey those unspoken words of I care about or love you. Like the Chinese proverb says: “Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestowed them.”

Whenever I’m lucky enough to go to a tropical place like Hawaii, I love to hotel hop just to see those beautiful open lobbies, which are always resplendent with huge bouquets and giant planters of exotic flowers. My childhood memories are the scent of my mom’s Peace roses and the old neighbour’s sweet peas, and it always take me instantly back whenever I catch a waft of them in the breeze. Just for one season only, when I was living in Armstrong years ago, a farmer in the valley converted five acres of alfalfa and grew a field of gorgeous peonies, (which apparently have medicinal qualities), and I have this amazing photo of my horse and I posing (carefully) between the rows of those glorious flowers. What a shot! So stick your nose in a rose and breath in those scents that make you close your eyes and say “wow!” Pause along the pathway at the nature parks and roadsides to admire the wild flowers and flock to a florist shop to feast your eyes on the exciting exotics, looking closely at all their delicate details. Flowers will always be part of our lives – right up to the end and after – because then we’ll be pushing up the daisies.

Vandalism at Larch Hills

n A hut at the junction of Larch Hills Road and Metford Road in the Larch Hills recreation area was destroyed when someone backed up their vehicle and smashed the structure apart. The Hut was built and maintained by volunteers and will now have to be replaced at the cost to the non-profit Larch Hills Nordic Society, which operates the popular recreation area, known for skiing in winter and hiking, biking and horseback riding in the summer.

Trip to India focuses on self-discovery After three intense and adventurous trips to India with students from the North Okanagan/Shuswap school district, the organizers are offering a unique 16-day adventure for adults this November. While the student trip has traversed India from west to east, the

adult trip will be more concentrated with less travelling. And unlike the student trip, it will be focused on personal and spiritual self-discovery. The trip will begin in Delhi, move west to the Thar Desert and then back across to the centre of northern India and

the ancient city of Varanasi. The group will travel by train and internal flight. Hotels will be simple but comfortable. Those interested in obtaining more information and details should phone Calvin White at 250-832-6682 or email calvinwhite@ hotmail.com.

Harper government regulates temporary foreign workers

From tHE Hill colin mayes The Temporary Foreign Workers Program has been in place for some time now. In the past, the prime users of this program were those in the agricultural sector. Temporary foreign workers were mostly hired from outside Canada to help pick produce as most Canadians were not willing to do these types of jobs. Today’s challenge is with our aging demographics. There is, in Canada, a huge growth in our resource sector making demands on our labour supply. The Temporary Foreign Workers Program now

has 340,000 foreign workers in Canada, and 90 per cent are located in the three western provinces. The program guidelines were clear: Canadians have first crack at the jobs, but if a process was followed that proved there were no Canadians willing or trained, a temporary foreign worker could be employed. Unfortunately, there are always some people that play on the edges. Abuses of the program have been brought to light. The program has always been closely monitored and very few abuses have been found. But, to eliminate any abuse, we have added stricter guidelines. Your government has introduced legislation that will ensure the program mandate is clear. No foreign worker will be paid less than the Canadian wage level for their particular skill. The legislation will in-

crease the government’s authority to suspend or revoke work permits and labour market opinions, if the program is misused. The program cannot be used to facilitate outsourcing of Canadian jobs. We will restrict English and French as the only languages that can be identified as a job requirement. Finally, we will charge fees for applications so taxpayers are not paying for the processing of these labour market opinions and the program that will benefit the employer. Those companies that are using temporary foreign workers must have a plan in place to eliminate their reliance on them and fill positions with Canadians seeking employment as soon as possible. This will help forward our government’s ‘Canada Job Grant Program’ to help prepare Canadians for the job demands of today’s economy.

A SERVICE CAN EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR TRANSMISSION*

*and save you money!

ervicing your car’s automatic transmission regularly can dramatically extend its life, saving you money in the long run. That’s because the oil — or ATF — does more than just lubricate: It also helps drive the transmission. Damage to the fluid, such as oxidation and shear, will reduce the holding power of the clutches. This allows the clutches to slip and overheat, and quickly causes them to fail. New fluid restores the holding power between the clutches, reducing slip and heat production. At the same time, flushing the old fluid washes away tiny particles of clutch material and metal shavings. Those particles clog passages and wedge between moving parts, causing wear throughout the transmission. Changing the fluid eliminates those particles and the wear they cause. The net result of changing the fluid is to provide better lubrication, improved the holding ability of the friction components, and reduced heat. So your transmission works better for years longer, which means you’re less likely to face a major transmission repair. A complete transmission service should include: • removing and examining the sump or pan (where possible) • replacing or cleaning the screen or filter • cleaning the pan • reinstalling the pan with a new pan gasket • pumping out the rest of the old fluid and replacing it with new, high quality ATF • adding a friction modifier or additive package (model specific) And, where possible, adding an external filter to the cooler line to remove any dirt particles that make it past the internal filter.

Dragon Tao won the ‘D’ division with a time of 2.55.10. Competition was stiff with 70 teams, many strong young teams from all over B.C. and Washington, so the local teams, made up of seniors, were delighted

Progress Report 2013 Walmart promises full service The Canadian Oil Change Perfected By Leah Blain

When Walmart opens its doors in Salmon Arm late this fall, residents can expect a full service centre. “It will be a full Walmart SuperCentre, full groceries, a bakery, a pharmacy and doctors’ office,” says SmartCentres Land Development Manager Brent Savard. “I think residents will be pleased. Most of the calls I get, people say they’re tired of going somewhere else and they want to stay in Salmon Arm. With Walmart coming it will change the whole outlook.” Savard says Phase 1 construction is on target and everything is progressing on schedule in terms of construction. “The steel is going up and should be done in July. Formation of a store is pretty quick and the roof will go on shortly after.” Savard says the off-site work is currently under-

way as well. “The poles for BC Hydro and Fortis are being relocated and the parking lot and trail are being done as we speak.” As to other national retailers starting up at this location at the SmartCentres site, Savard says although they’re working with a number of retailers not found in Salmon Arm already, nothing is confirmed to date. “We have a strong relationship with national retailers and there is a fair amount of interest in Salmon Arm,” says SmartCentres Vice President of Corporate Affairs Sandra Kaiser. “We don’t build on spec, we build when we have firm leases. There is very little vacancy in our complexes, we want it to be healthy. When we’re in a position to announce others [retailers] we will do so.” Kaiser says with the coming of Walmart, Salmon Arm businesses can expect to see more

dollars staying in town. “This will help stop the outflow of shopping to other communities. It will attract people from other communities to shop in Salmon Arm. Once they decide to stay, they’ll go to a restaurant and buy their gas, there’s a spill over effect in town to other businesses.” Kaiser adds that the Ryerson University Centre for Commercial Action and Retail study on the effects of Walmarts on the local economy backs up the data. “They did a study that showed there is a positive uplift for current businesses and for attracting new businesses. When a Walmart goes in it helps other businesses. Businesses become more competitive, they upgrade and everyone does well.” Savard says that Walmart is estimating approximately 200 full and part time jobs will be available.

It’s their duty to your car. Great Canadian Oil Change is your one stop shop for vehicle fluid maintenance. Their famous 10 minute oil change has been perfected with 35 years of service across Canada. In 2011 Wade and Heather Nicholson brought the classic service to Salmon Arm. “We are a true drive-thru operation with fast and friendly service,” said Heather. They lived in Salmon Arm for six years before opening Great Canadian Oil Change. Although it is a franchise, it is a local family business with even Wade and Heather’s son on the list of employees. The business concept has come to include all fluids that require maintenance on your vehicle. They look after radiator antifreeze flushes, transmission flushes, differential and transfer case fluids, power steering fluid and washer fluids. They’ll service your vehicle’s fuel system, differentials, and transfer case in addition to offering products such as wiper blades, headlights, air, fuel and cabin filters and serpentine belts. Heather said one of their lesser known services is the cabin air filter

service, which filters the air inside the vehicle. Often, these filters don’t get checked or changed but Great Canadian Oil Change will get it done. Reward your car today and let Ian, Shawn, Matt, Glen, Riley or Jaykk get under the hood. “Our staff pride themselves on being able to figure out unique problems with vehicles and are able to diagnose those problems,” said Heather. “They also have a lot of collective experience with many different makes of vehicles.” Oil products are sold from the vehicle warranty approved Valvoline line of high performance and synthetic oils. They are also partnered with Hastings Filters. The staff are very knowledgeable about oil and filters and have access to experience and knowledge from

their network of 57 franchises. Their procedures are ones that have been perfected in the 35 years that Great Canadian Oil Change has operated. “We are well trained,” said Heather. “We’ve developed good systems for doing the job right every time.” You also have the added comfort that Great Canadian Oil Change is independent of any other operations and you can trust that your business will not be exploited. Sleep easy knowing your car has been in good hands and you didn’t even have to get up from the driver’s seat. Heather and Wade look forward to the continued support of Salmon Arm as they grow their business and serve the Shuswap.

City Hall looking to create and maintain a Healthy Comunity

Arbor Lodge provides independent living for seniors

By Leah Blain

Built in 2001 Arbor House, as it was known then, was built as a Complex Care Facility by a local Salmon Arm couple. The building is nestled in the hillside of South East Salmon Arm in a residential neighborhood. With breathtaking views of the lake and the peaceful surroundings of the neighborhood. Arbor Lodge is a great alternative for those seniors who need some assistance but do not wish to be in a large facility. The building is surrounded by perennial gardens, fruit trees and vegetables that are enjoyed by the residents. Approximately 18 months ago, a Kelowna Company took over Arbor House, renamed it Arbor Lodge and transitioned it into an Independent Living Facility. Market research showed that Salmon Arm, like other communities was lacking in affordable housing for seniors. Many seniors are forced to exist on their Canada Pension, Old Age Pension and maybe a bit of savings. Most Independent Living facilities cost far above the combined total of these pensions. After sprucing up the building with a completely new interior de-

Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper could sum up the economic indicator for Salmon Arm and the Shuswap area in three words: high investor confidence. “We’ve seen some big development come in here, people are showing confidence when they want to develop here.” She points out that several residential developments have been approved recently by City Council including a subdivision in the Hillcrest area for 100 homes. Wherever there is strong commercial growth, she explains, residential is sure to follow. “We’ve seen multi-million dollar investments at both malls, big chains coming in like Sports Chek, Strarbucks and Staples, and the Askew’s development up the hill. We’ve moved from a small market destination to a medium one.” Cooper says from the commercial to the industrial front, there is nothing but positive news. “In the industrial park four businesses are looking to expand and the Economic Development Manager says she had more inquiries this year from businesses either looking to start up or relocate than she’s ever had.” Cooper says there are several reasons why Salmon Arm is experiencing a development and economic boom right now. Besides the natural factors of location along the Trans Canada and the beauty of Shuswap Lake, she explains that Council’s ‘open for business’ attitude has been an integral factor.

business loans A primary focus of Community Futures Shuswap is to provide availability to financial resources which might not otherwise be available to individuals to start or expand a small business within our region. Community Futures helps businesses grow by offering financing to viable businesses or projects, where financing cannot be obtained through conventional sources. Community Futures can help with several loan funds.

“When the Gorman Brothers took over the mill, we really wanted to work with the new owners. The tax multiplier (for industry) was higher in Salmon Arm so what we’re doing is reducing it slowly over a number of years.” Cooper says Council is committed to keeping taxes down in order to help businesses make a profit, and to make living in Salmon Arm affordable for families. “We look at ways to assist businesses, and lower taxes is one way,” says Cooper. Streamlining the development process is another way the City is proving their ‘open for business’ attitude. “We redid our building bylaw and we’re doing our zoning bylaw and I believe we’re going to see more growth. We’re always making things easier for builders and investors. We’re coming with a positive attitude - let’s see how we can make it happen.”

But Cooper says growth and development aren’t progress without quality of life. “One of most important things is to have a positive balance between commercial and industrial with the environment. We have funded the Sensitive Habitat Inventory Mapping and also we funded half of the Wetlands Inventory Mapping. We recognize people are very concerned about the environment and it’s important to everybody.” Besides all the economic activity, Cooper says citizen engagement and volunteerism is good indicator of Salmon Arm’s healthy condition, listing the Roots & Blues, the Shuswap Trail Alliance among other examples. It’s the balance of economic growth and lifestyle that makes Salmon Arm a desirable place to live. “We’re looking after the environment as well as creating a healthy community.”

cor, Arbor Lodge has re-opened its doors providing beautiful, comfortable, affordable housing for one low monthly fee. The size and layout of the building create a home-like environment and the live-in staff are dedicated to providing the best care for those that reside at Arbor Lodge. Our daily menus are prepared with local ingredients, some right from our own vegetable garden and diabetic meals are available. With one low monthly fee which includes rent, meals, utilities, housekeeping and laundry, seniors have the peace of mind that one payment takes care of all their needs. The friendly staff at Arbor Lodge can provide information on the BC Government Safer Program which provides financial assistance for housing to low income seniors. Complimentary laundry is available for the resident’s personal laundry. Cable hookups and wireless internet are available in each room along with common areas that are furnished with large flat screened TVs and comfortable furniture. The hallways are extra wide to accommodate mobility aides. Residents who enjoy gardening are encour-

aged to participate in the daily activities of taking care of the flower pots and surrounding gardens. Arbor Lodge welcomes resident’s friends and family and encourages them to visit often. Residents are encouraged to invite guests to join them to enjoy the home cooking of Arbor Lodge. This creates a family like environment helping seniors stay connected. If you are a family member or friend of a senior that depends on you for meals, shopping or any day to day assistance, Arbor Lodge also offers respite care. If you are planning a vacation and are concerned about who will care for your friend or family member in your absence, Arbor Lodge has fully furnished rooms which include 3 home cooked meals per day along with housekeeping and some laundry services. Enjoy your vacation knowing that your loved one is well taken care of. The new owners are proud of what they are able to offer to the community. They have developed partnerships with local businesses and are committed to providing great care to the seniors of Salmon Arm.

Progress Report 2013

Downtown College Campus a dream that is becoming a reality By Leah Blain

Lana Fitt

It began as a dream a decade ago, but with hard work and dedication the dream of having a downtown college campus is working its way towards reality. “The Downtown Community Campus Committee’s vision is to expand and relocate Okanagan College to our downtown by 2020. The committee is working in partnership with Okanagan College, the City of Salmon Arm and CSRD to achieve that goal. Once this proposal was

endorsed by the Okanagan College Board of Governors late in 2012 – that was a great step forward for us,” says Salmon Arm Economic Development Manager Lana Fitt. Fitt explains that two years of local community, business and industry consultation along with extensive research contributed to the proposal development. “We established sector discussion groups in health, agriculture, and creative arts and discussed long term market needs. These sector groups provided good insight into regional training needs.” Fitt says the BC Labour Market Outlook Report 2010-2020, indicates that the Thompson Okanagan Region is projected to have 110,000 job openings over that same period, the third highest rate of

job growth in the Province, and she expects the Salmon Arm Campus of Okanagan College will help prepare residents to take advantage of the expanded opportunities. “Seventy-eight per cent of those jobs are expected to require some level of post secondary education.” In addition to the continuation of trades training and other programs already offered at Okanagan College, there were three program areas identified as opportunities to compliment regional strengths and address industry needs in the Shuswap: agriculture, health and creative arts. “These were suggestions put forward for Okanagan College’s consideration. Agriculture in particular was a strong area of interest, given the industry advancements, particular-

ly in farm management and farm technology.” Student housing will be a necessary component of the downtown community campus in order to attract out-ofregion and international students. “We would like to see student housing as part of this new development. We don’t have student housing now and it limits the college’s ability to attract students from outside the region. We feel there could be a larger economic benefit if we had a destination campus. The economic value will arrive in the form of student spending at our local businesses, job opportunities through potential expansion of Okanagan College, and it will also come in the form of expanding our skilled labour pool, which can feed into our existing businesses as well as

attract new industry to our region.” Fitt says what is truly unique about the proposed downtown community campus is that the entire project is driven by local residents and businesses. “This is the community’s vision. The community brought it forward to Okana-

gan College and we’ve asked them to partner with us. The Board of Governors endorsed what we put forward so it’s now about how it fits into their larger planning and budgetary processes.” Currently the Downtown Community Campus Committee has shifted gears and is now

in Phase two, which is implementation of the proposal. “The process is now about working with Okanagan Collge to access a suitable parcel of land which we see as the most important next step in moving this project forward.”

It’s time to get comfortable.

Alberta floods By Leah Blain Flooding in Alberta and road closures caused a few cancellations to people’s holidays in the Shuswap, but overall, the local tourism industry is seeing an increase in numbers. “Actually comparing the stats from last year we’re up in June,” says Salmon Arm Visitor Centre Coordinator Janice Dewitt, “and requests (at the VIC) are up, and lengths of stays are up. Instead of staying one night, people are staying three days to one or two weeks. It’s really positive to see.” Dewitt says there are more factors than stats that show a promising change. She says the questions they are being are a good sign. “Years previously people were looking for ‘affordable things to do’ and looking for coupons. They were looking for free things to do. Now the questions are different, they’re asking, ‘Where can I get boat rentals?’ Now it’s ‘show us what’s there’ - they’re interested in it all. They’re not restricted by budget as much.” Shuswap Tourism Man-

ager Robyn Cyr says ‘Experience Packages’ are becoming more popular, and agri-tourism is playing an increasingly important role. “People want to get on the farm and feel that experience. They want to see where things are grown and see the animals and how they’re raised. That interest comes from our concern about our diet and the whole movement around food security.” The Shuswap is becoming known as a ‘destination spot’, not just because of the lake, but for its choice of adventure recreation, which is particularly popular with European tourists. “I noticed this year, more than in other years people are coming here for adventure recreation. We’re not ‘on-route’; we’re becoming more and more a destination. And that ties into the variety we have,” says Dewitt. “We have white water rafting, kayaking, canoeing, a new zip-in Chase, Segway tours, horseback riding, skydiving, and the hiking trails. People are looking for more information on fishing, and

our hiking guides are just flying out the door.” What they’re hearing from local tourism operators is that foot traffic is up in the stores, and more groups and organizations are coming to Salmon Arm for conferences, events, and tournaments. “I think we’re seeing a degree of optimism that wasn’t there a year or two ago. Tourism facilities are busier, Bed & Breakfasts are booked up that weren’t last year, stores are busier. I think that we certainly are more optimistic.” Dewitt adds the Visitor Information Centre staff are hearing lots of compliments from tourists about the diversity of attractions and events. “I hear a great deal about the variety. We have so much and people enjoy a variety of activities. We have a good selection of shopping, great restaurants and places to eat. It’s a friendly town - a nice looking city. We’re starting to be looked at more than just a lake.”

In its 30th year this year, the colourful Skwlax Pow Wow attracted more than 250 dancers from across Western Canada and Washington State. Joan Arnouse has been organizing the event for 30 years and took a moment Saturday from her busy weekend to report she was pleased. “I’m really happy with it. Two-hundred-and-fifty dancers in this hot weather,”

she said, adding her appreciation for all the volunteers who have helped, ranging from the fire department to security. She had special words for one special man. “I’m so proud of my Uncle Ernie (Philip) and all the knowledge he gives to us – it’s unconditional. His Eagle dance was the highlight of my weekend,” she said. Philip, 84, played a central part in the weekend.

Chase Pulling Together in Shuswap By Cavelle Layes

MARKET NEWS STAff

An annual tradition designed to bring communities together, bridge gaps and create cultural awareness will be coming through Chase for the first time. The Pulling Together Canoe journey has been making its way through B.C. waters for 12 years, choosing different passages and routes each time. This year’s journey through the Shuswap will involve five local bands: Adams Lake, Neskonlith, Splats’in, Little Shuswap and Kamloops. Five large canoes from these communities will be part of the journey. Pulling Together began in 2001 as a collaborative effort to break down the barriers and bridge the gap between First Nations and police. During this time there were about 100 people making the journey. Today, Pulling Together has more than tripled in size, with Const. Rob Claypool of the Chase RCMP saying organizers are expecting about 500 people this year. Claypool will be one of those accompanying the paddlers in the police boat, helping to ensure the safety of participants. Over the years the journey has expanded its reach, and now includes Fisheries and Oceans, the navy, Conservation, municipalities and more. The journey has become more and more meaningful each year, keeping culture and tradition alive while allowing those participating to connect with others outside their communities. This year’s journey is set to begin in Enderby, with groups setting up camp in Splats’in on Thursday, July 25.

The event officially kicks off on Saturday at 4 a.m. with the Sun Rise ceremony in Mara Lake Provincial Park. The groups will then spend their day having briefings and reviewing safety protocols. The welcoming and blessing circle will happen around 2 p.m. The canoes will be hitting the water at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday, July 27 when they will then head to Old Town Bay to establish camp for the night. July 28 they are expected to arrive in St. Ives around 4 p.m. and heading to Celista the next day. Arrival time at Celista is expected to be about 2 p.m. and the paddlers will head to the Little Shuswap Band to set up camp for the night. The groups will be back in the water by 9:30 a.m. on July 30, paddling their way to the Quaaout Lodge beach with a short stop at a cultural site at Copper Island. The paddlers will stay in the area until Thursday, hosting a talent show and hoop dancing event Wednesday night for the public to see. The show is set to begin around 7 p.m. Thursday morn-

New hockey schooling pondered By Cavelle Layes

MArKet neWS StAff

A new way of teaching hockey has the potential of changing the future of local schools and minor hockey within Chase. While the Leadership Program is still in the exploration phase, assistant superintendent for school district #73’s south zone, Alison Sidow, said the district is excited about the opportunities it could bring. The program, which would be an expansion of the hockey academy already in place within Chase Secondary School, would be a completely new educational opportunity. If accepted, the program would be opened up to allow players in grades five, six and seven to attend, giving them the opportunity of following through until graduation. Brad Fox, co-owner of the program and head coach of KIJHL team, the Heat, would also like to expand and enhance the opportunities available for his older players as well. Fox and co-owner Rick Passmore are working with the school board in gaining access to the Haldane Annex building, which has remained empty since the school was shut down a few years ago. Fox said the school has a working field and gym as well as classrooms already set up, and he sees it as the ideal place for his academy to operate. The coach sees potential in transforming Chase from a rural community to a sports hub for all ages. The duo said that they could accept a maximum of 80 players each year, but will also have mini programs operating throughout the summer. If the elementary level of programming is accepted, the students would get the equivalent of one-and-a-half to two years’ worth of ice time within minor hockey, in one school year. This would come at a cost of $21,000

for the year, Fox said, which equals about $20 per session. The players will receive training both on and off ice and will get specialized speed skating lessons. Those in the high school level of the program would also be trained in life skills, said Fox, focusing on respect and accountability. One of the most important lessons Fox wants to get across to each of his players is that “you are not entitled to any of this. It is not a privilege, it is a luxury.” There are still a number of hurdles the academy must overcome. “We are very interested in continuing discussions in September,” Sidow said. “We are always looking for ways to engage students. If this partnership offers that, we are interested in looking at its potential.” While the Leadership Program has successfully run at a high school level in Chase, Sidow said that it would not be a direct transfer to elementary school students. Sidow explained that the way credits are administered in high school is different than elementary,

n New program would expand hockey academy. which means they need to figure out a new way. “Whatever we do, anything we participate in, has to be approved by the board or committee,” Sidow said. “It is a fairly lengthy process to establish any new programs.” She said the level of interest must also be evaluated, the school district must ensure students are properly supervised and it must fit into core curriculum. Sidow said principals at both Chase schools have suggested there is interest in such a program and they see it as being successful. Sidow stressed that the academy would not be owned by the school board, but would simply be a partnership between them and a

private company. The school’s role would be to ensure that the players participating were properly educated and presented with flexible scheduling. If the program does go through it could mean a number of benefits for schools in the area. Sidow noted that with an increased student population they could provide a more diverse course selection to students. She also acknowledges the physical benefits the program would bring and noted studies have shown that students in hockey tend to focus more on school. Fox said the program would be open to boys and girls, and encourages female hockey players to consider it.

April 3, 1932 - July 27, 2012 We thought of you today But that is nothing new We thought of you yesterday And will tomorrow too We think of you in silence And make no outward show For what it meant to lose you Only those who love you know Remembering you is easy We do it every day It’s the heartache of losing you That will never go away

Love you always, Maureen & family

ALAN JAY DURR AUGUST 2, 1948 ~ JULY 10,2013 Alan was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan to parents Wilbur George and Dorothy Stewart Durr. He was raised on a farm just a few miles south of the small town of Bromhead and like most prairie kids he played hockey and baseball, rode his horses and loved being around machinery. Alan also loved music and played with a few bands including The Gold Teens and Canadian Crescendos and later with The Chaparrals in Williams Lake, B.C. In 1968 he married Jennifer (Janie) Helgerson. The couple lived in Williams Lake until 1973 and then returned to the farm. Alan also owned a cattle liner which kept him busy and helped subsidize the farm during the dry years. Always wanting to see new places and try other occupations Alan, Janie and their three children moved to Kamloops in 1990. He had an excavating business, purchased All Points Bus Charters and worked at a variety of jobs that included driving trucks, dispatching, equipment operator on a variety of projects including ‘The Sea To Sky Highway.’ In 2008 he and Janie moved to Blind Bay to semi retire but Alan continued to work. He was always ready to try something new as long as it included machinery and one of his last jobs was gold mining in the Yukon. Family and friends were the most important to Alan. He passed his life long love of music to his children. He was happiest out on his boat, in his shop or just sitting around a campfire passing the time of day with new friends or old. Alan is survived by his wife Janie. Three children: son, Jay Durr (Deb Porter), Daughter Alison Durr (Allen Radford) and son John Durr. Two grandchildren Thomas Alan Durr and Hannah Jean Durr, a sister Dolly (Cordell) Sandquist from Cobble Hill B.C. as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents and one brother Merton. Special thanks to the Salmon Arm Community Nursing, Canadian Cancer Society, Dr. Francois Malan and the wonderful people at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, The Marjorie W. Snowden Hospice or the charity of your choice would be appreciated. A celebration of Alan’s life will be held on July 27, 2013 at the Parkside Lounge located inside the Interior Savings Centre at 2:00 PM. All are welcome to join us and share your fond memories of “Big Al”. At the end of one’s life perhaps the truest measure of that man is not in having amassed all the trappings of wealth but rather in the number of people that call him Friend. Good bye for now A.J.

SUMMER WORKSHOPS

Our workshops are FUN and HANDS-ON!

Summer Phlox

We know it’s summer when we catch a whiff of the fragrance of summer phlox wafting through the garden on a warm summer evening. These old-fashioned perennials have long been popular but today’s new varities bloom longer, are more compact and many are powdery mildew reistant~the bane of older varities. This week we’ve got the summer Phlox varieties (Phlox paniculata- 14 varieties in stock) on sale

40% off.

Because phlox blooms from mid-July into the autumn, you can plant them now to enjoy for the rest of the season and for many years to come. Check out our e-newsletter on our website www.hannaorchards.com to get info on the garden center and gift shop specials and which BC fruit varieties we have in stock 3181 - 11th Avenue N.E.
