The hazard level surrounding the McIntrye Creek channel remains extreme and the owners of seven residences under evacuation order have been given notice that they will not be allowed into the homes for at least 30 and possibly up to 60 days. In a news release issued Tuesday, Cathy Semchuk, Shuswap Emergency Program information officer, says after a lengthy discussion regarding public safety, a decision was made to conduct further field and site assessments before making a determination on what emergency works will be necessary to mitigate the hazard. Heavy rain that fell on already saturated ground contributed to a mudslide which blocked Sunnybrae Canoe Point road and damaged one residence in the McIntyre Creek area on April 23. The affected residences include a combination of year-round and summer homes. The two couples who have been evacuated are receiving support through the Provincial Emergency Program. Rains are also in the forecast for this weekend, which may create further instability and increase the potential for further slides in the creek area. The Shuswap Emergency Program stresses that due to the instability of the area, the public is asked to keep clear of the incident site. However, if you are required to travel through the work site, be aware that it is a ‘no stop’ zone. Shuswap residents are asked to call the Provincial Emergency Reporting Line at 1-800-6633456 to report any type of debris flow.

Festival provides economic boost
Roots and Blues: Music tourists inject $4 million into region. By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAff
Protect the gem. That was part of the message brought by Billy Collins, a lecturer at Thompson Rivers University in the department of tourism management, who authored a study on the 2013 Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. He spoke enthusiastically about the event’s benefits at the city’s planning meeting Monday. “You have a gem, people come from all over the region to attend… You should feel protective of the festival,” he told council. Compiled from nearly 1,800 on-site interviews, plus subsequent online surveys, the study found the 2013 festival generated more than $4 million in new spending by tourists. Of the total $4,089,296 spent by non-locals, the average amount that non-local, paying festival attendees each spent on-site during the festival was $497.87. Off-site they spent $528.59, combining for a total of $1,026.46 each. That translated into a total of $2,788,792.60. Non-local volunteers added an average of
$807.85 each ($528.59 of that off-site) for a total of $1,300,503.86. Local attendees, both paid and volunteer, added another $845,725.16 of total expenditures on-site. The combined spending by attendees, both local and non-local, was nearly $5 million on- and off-site – at $4,935,021. (Off-site expenditures by locals were not included in the study.) Off-site, the largest expenditures for nonlocal attendees were for: lodging, gas, food at grocery stores and at restaurants and shopping, including souvenirs. While attendees were fairly evenly split by gender, the majority were 45 and older. “To me, I see that as being something to think about... Not only are they Boomers, but they’re very loyal fans... How do you attract a younger audience and train them to become their parents?” Collins asked. For those non-locals attending, they overwhelmingly said their destination was the festival itself, Collins said. However, more than a third said they would go to a similar event elsewhere. “So you are in com-

The festival brings a big economic spin-off from tourist spending during their stay. petition with other festivals, but they’re choosing you.” Coun. Ken Jamieson asked why some festivals fail. Collins said often it’s the ‘build big, promoter approach.’ He said Salmon Arm’s success relates to how the audience has grown along with the festival, as has the volunteer base. Coun. Alan Harrison asked what local government can do to support its success. Collins said public policy is important. He said B.C. should have a five-year plan, noting that the premier was “hell-bent to have the Olympics,” but benefits didn’t spill into other parts of B.C. He recommended a two-year plan locally. In response to Harrison’s question and those from Couns. Denise
Reimer and Chad Eliason about recommendations, Collins listed several, including running events at other times to complement Roots and Blues, such as the bike fest.
He emphasized the competitive nature of the festival industry. “Recognize the gem. I have seen more disasters in the music industry than successes. Period.”

Citizens unite in wake of slide Mabel Lake: Community rallies after flooding cuts access to area. By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS
The human spirit prevailed over the wrath of nature. What’s coming out of Kingfisher is how 200 residents and visitors bonded after the small community was cut off from the rest of the world by flooding and a landslide May 2. “Everyone was getting along and coming together,” said Rob Smailes, Regional District of North Okanagan acting administrator. “People were willing to look after each other.” Smailes saw the generosity first-hand as he was among a handful of emergency personnel helicoptered into Kingfisher, which was also without electricity and communications. In one case, a Calgary couple had travelled into the Mabel Lake area early in the day to pick up their RV. By the time they were ready to depart, road access was wiped out by raging water and a torrent of timber. “They had no food or anything but they were welcomed right in (by residents),” said Smailes. Along with Smailes, who is a volunteer firefighter, a paramedic and two RCMP officers were airlifted into Kingfisher and they were immediately embraced by those living there. “We needed fuel, a place to stay and a vehicle and they pulled all of that together,” said Smailes, adding that
Mabel Lake Resort was of great assistance. A meeting Saturday went from being an emergency briefing to a giant potluck as residents pulled together food defrosting in freezers. “People were bringing in salmon and moose stew. We were eating like kings,” said Smailes. With road access gone, critical items were helicoptered into Kingfisher, including generators and medicine. A satellite phone linked the area to those beyond the slide. The Ministry of Transportation immediately began trying to restore Mabel Lake Road May 2, while B.C. Hydro and Telus focused on utilities. “It was a huge team effort and everything worked well,” said Brent Watson, with North Okanagan Emergency Management. “It’s great to see how the North Okanagan pulls together.” Given the magnitude of the slide and heavy rain, it was unknown how long Kingfisher would be isolated. “We originally thought four to seven days and that put us in panic mode,” said Terry Laursen, with Mabel Lake Resort. But through the hard work of everyone involved, power was restored late Saturday and the road was reopened on a single-lane basis Sunday afternoon. The main culvert was cleared and water is now flowing through.
horns and went for it,” said Laursen. Besides the RCMP, Telus, B.C. Hydro, Ministry of Transportation and North Okanagan Emergency Management, Vernon Search and Rescue, the Ministry of Forests and Interior Health were also involved in the response. “They were all taking it quite personally that everyone was OK,” said Pearase.

n A raging Cooke Creek wipes out a section of Mabel Lake Road in the Kingfisher area Crews also placed a culvert in the scour channel to handle any residual flow as they built the temporary road connection. “The next steps are to re-establish the road at its previous alignment, making sure the road is rebuilt to proper standards,” states the Ministry of Transportation. It’s been suggested that the flooding and slide occurred when a beaver dam broke loose at Dale Lake. However, there’s also speculation that the ground gave way because water in the lake could not drain through a plugged culvert. “We are trying to determine who is responsible for that culvert,” said Rick Fairbairn, RDNO vice-chairperson. Jackie Pearase, rural Enderby director, wants
to know what caused the slide. “I want to make sure it won’t happen again,” she said, adding that the Kingfisher incident is consistent with her lobbying the provincial government to have nearby Ashton Creek cleared of debris to prevent flooding. “We need to update the status of community watersheds. How much money does an update cost compared to emergency work and putting people’s lives in panic?” But even as the causes behind the emergency are investigated, residents are reflecting on the positive efforts to help them, and particularly those who were airlifted into Kingfisher. “They found out what the community needed and Rob Smailes grabbed the bull by the

Best of the Fest
n Winners of the various musical competitions at the 14th Annual Music Festival were honoured at the Night of the Stars gala event held Friday evening at the First United Church.
Join the street fest fun A day of family friendly activities downtown during the Salty Street Fest will end with the highoctane, horn-powered music of Roots and Blues Festival favourites, Five Alarm Funk. Sponsored by Routes and Blues (the pre-festival outreach program of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival), the free concert at Marine Park will cap a busy day at the new Salty Street Fest, which takes place Saturday, May 10. The festival is presented cooperatively by a committee of local businesses and stakeholders. And there’s something for people of all ages. Youngsters can come out in the morning and experience a petting zoo, with bunnies from DeMille’s Farm Market. Later, they are invited to deck out their bikes and enter a bike parade, which begins at 11 a.m. and winds its way through downtown Salmon Arm under police escort, complete with flashing lights. Don’t have a bike or need a bike part? Come out if you want to sell, trade or purchase bikes and parts at the Shuswap’s only bike swap. Drop off is from 9 to 11 a.m. and the swap runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. across the street from Skookum Cycle & Ski. At 2:15 p.m., teens
are invited to take part in a scavenger hunt for a chance to win some awesome prizes, including thousands of dollars in scholarship money. Register with Graham Gomme at Salmon Arm Secondary. For the adults, local wineries are working with downtown restaurants to present a tasting tour, which promises to be delicious. Save room for dessert and head down to the wharf, because the music of Five Alarm Funk cranks up at the Marine Park Band Shell at 5 p.m. At 5:45, there will be a break in the music

Province must step up on flooding Flooding has become an almost regular occurrence at this time of the year, so word that Cooke Creek in the Kingfisher area burst its banks Friday came as no surprise. Emergency personnel were immediately on scene, ensuring that residents were receiving the assistance they needed, and for that they deserve our praise and thanks. But instead of just mobilizing an emergency response every year, there needs to be action to minimize the prospect of flooding as much as possible. However, the provincial government continues to ignore its responsibility. Victoria has indicated the Regional District of North Okanagan must initiate a feasibility study on improvements on Ashton Creek and, one would assume, all other creeks where flooding could occur. However, RDNO officials, and rightly so, have stated creeks and flooding are provincial mandates, and the costs of upgrades and liabilities could be downloaded to the district if it does the study. Also, it is the provincial government that has the authority to go into creeks and physically do any work, not the regional district or municipalities. Debris played a role in the Cooke Creek flood, and the situation is a reminder of the threat fastmoving water poses to lives, property and public infrastructure such as roads. Also, some preventative efforts could reduce the last-minute costs that seem to arise every year when officials are reacting to an emergency. It is time for Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo and his provincial government colleagues to get serious about flooding and stop passing the buck to other jurisdictions. -Vernon Morning Star

OpiniOn
Craftsmanship still earns admiration Often have I stood and cast my line to the unknown – to some momentary flash of silver in the waters out of the corner of my eye – all in the hopes of hooking and catching a fish. I have spent long hours standing on a stream bank alone with my thoughts. I have watched a mayfly’s wings fluttering in the light of early morning and listened to the distant sound of autumn leaves rustling the wind. I have spent time on the water without a single nibble and felt the day well worth the effort. Some of my fondest memories are of days spent sitting out on a lake somewhere with my old dog, Duff. She was a devoted fishing partner, the likes of which I will probably never see again. So be it. Fishing was a part of my growing up – it is a part of who I am. I make no excuses for finding simple pleasure in catching fish. And, while I have been asked by my critics why I fish – what possible pleasure can anyone get out of catching a creature simply for the
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray pleasure of playing it to the net and then releasing – my answer remains: if I have to explain, you probably won’t understand. As a newspaper columnist, I try to put information out there and let people make up their own minds. I certainly do not expect readers to agree with all of my personal opinions all the time. Even Duff didn’t always agree with me. My beliefs and opinions are nothing more than my own. In fact, I have learned much from some of my critics. In certain cases, they have opened my eyes and allowed me to see things differently. For that I am thankful.
On the other hand, if all goes well, I plan to keep on fishing until that day comes when my weary old legs can no longer take me into my favourite lakes and streams. Let’s hope that’s a long way off. I do, however, realize that the world around me is continuously changing. Some changes are for the better. Others – well let’s just say that I embrace some changes and try to avoid others. Cane rods have been replaced by ultra high modulus graphite rods. The Pflueger reels I use to buy with my hard-earned allowance at Gerlovin’s Hardware Store as a kid, have been replaced with hand-crafted, machined aluminum reels that cost more than some of the vehicles I’ve owned. Gone are the wooden plugs with their glass eyes. Gone too are lures with names like Chubb Creek Minnow and flies like the Lady Amhurst and Silver Doctor. We now have Killer Crank Baits, Buzz Bombs, and Hawg-busters. Electronic fish finders and GPS (Global Positioning Sys-
tems) devices have made the sport of fishing into a serious business. When an angler goes fishing now, it’s almost as if they are at war with nature itself. I remember, as a kid, rifling through my father’s tackle box and sort of helping myself to a fair number of his bright new wooden plugs. I remember just holding them in my hand, feeling their glass eyes and admiring all the painted detail. I always made a point of taking the ones that were still in cardboard boxes. I used to line them up, one by one, and read all the delightful details about how each individual lure was specially designed to entice fish into biting. I loved looking at the logos on the top and sides of the boxes of a fish jumping out of the water to inhale the lure that was in each box. As a kid, I envisioned those lures on the end of my line and a fish inhaling my lure. In time, I did catch fish on some of the lures. Others I have simply admired – for the better part of half a century.
Letter disregards new democratic idea Mr. Youchezin should be hanging his head in shame. First, he attacks the thoughts of one caring citizen and alleges that it is the position of everyone who does not share his point of view. Then, he alleges that Chase is not a bedroom community and proceeds to describe Chase as exactly that. Somehow, he believes that citizens have failed to notice that trains pass through this community and that they pollute. Following his reasoning,
once someone has peed in the pool, the only reasonable course of action is to turn it into a sewer. The reality here, in my personal opinion, is that we have a council which lacks the vision to capitalize on the strengths of our village. It rebuffs opportunities to increase our tax base and create real economic growth in favour of knee-jerk reactions to the problems of the few. Worse, they choose to create acrimony between citizens with
misinformation and muzzling. Mr. Youchezin fails to mention Marna McLaren’s very good idea, that we look to the award-winning, democratic approach that the Village of Qualicum Beach uses to conduct the business of their community. The present model has failed us all. I urge Mr. Youchezin to get his facts straight, his mind open and, please, invest in a Thesaurus.
The opponents’ prime concern of Pinnacle Energy locating in Chase was what they believed would be air pollution. Their fears were based on assumptions derived from innuendo gathered from Pinnacle’s Williams Lake plant. Since Domtar’s pulpmill sawdust digester in Kamloops has shut down, Interfor is forced to stockpile their sawdust waste on open ground. The pile is building heat, burning on the top, fermenting on the inside. Soon, the tannins and turpentine will leech
out with rain and snow run-off sending these substances into Adams Lake. The contaminates will continue downstream into Little Shuswap Lake. Guess what? They will be entering into the potable water supply for the Village of Chase and I am sure that the new water treatment facility is not equipped to remove these substances from the water. Have you self-righteous naysayers considered that? Are you getting the picture yet? The provincial maximum standard for pel-
LOCAL NEWS, VIEWS AND ADVERTISING
let plant dryer exhaust is 60mg/m³ total particulate matter. The equipment that Pinnacle Energy was planning to incorporate in the proposed Chase facility is of European design, with an emission criterion of less than 10mg/m³TPM. More than 80 per cent below the provincial standard, Because of you naysayers, we will maintain “clean air.” Because of you naysayers, we will lose the potential for members
for our fire department, a less contaminated water source, medical practitioners and forced closure of businesses. More people will move away for lack of employment. In closing, I suggest to you naysayers, buy the property. Put your money where your mouth is and show the rest of us how it is done. Show us your utopian dream. We lost so much, we gained so little.

Friday, May 9, 2014 Shuswap Market News
South ShuSwap Country market fun for everyone Carlin school is hosting the Fourth Annual Carlin Country Market, on Saturday, May 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Carlin Country Market is Carlinschool’s primary fundraising activity for the year, and embraces the entire school population, families and the community. The Carlin Country Market is fun for everyone, and people attend from across the Shuswap. People have come from as far away as Alberta and the Lower Mainland. The Carlin schoolyard is turned into an outdoor festival, with food, entertainment, market shopping, kid’s carnival and so much more. The Carlin Country Market raises funds to support numerous activities at Carlin school. This year the funds went toward field trip busing, schoolyard upgrades, the elementary swim program, middle school explorations programs, new technology, new books for young readers, the One
to One reading program and several other worthy projects. The newly installed Carlin amphitheatre is one of the projects made possible by previous year’s Carlin market fundraising. Admission to the CCM is by donation, and any amount is appreciated. Attendees are encouraged to bring their bottles and cans to drop off at the gate on the way in. The Grade 4/5 class will be sorting and counting the recyclables to support their year-end trip. Some features of the Carlin Country Market include a “pay what you can” garage sale, a Tim Horton’s coffee and donut stand, Tappen Co-op ice cream (there will be an ice cream eating contest too), a live entertainment stage featuring local acts, and a demonstration stage highlighting everything from dancing to karate, gymnastics to acting. Visitors can enjoy items from the concession stand, purchase
goods at the open air market and secure a coveted raffle ticket for the class-theme baskets. The kids’ carnival features face painting by the Carlin leadership students, a shaved ice stand, kids games, bouncy houses and sports. Back by popular demand is the Carlin dunk tank. The Candy Stand will be open, an on-site cash machine available, and there will be emergency vehicle demonstrations and a show and shine too. For those with a green thumb, the ever-popular plant sale will fill your planters and gardens. The silent auction again features local businesses and will include a Waterway Houseboat vacation for the fourth year in a row. New this year is a $10,000 Hole In One
contest being hosted at Shuswap Lake Estates, the same day as the Carlin market. People are invited to stop by the Shuswap Lake Estates driving range, enroute to the Carlin market, to try their hand at a $10,000 prize. Proceeds from the Hole In One competition will be donated to the school. The Carlin Country Market is a community effort, and the many businesses and individuals who make it all possible are appreciated. Don’t be daunted when you come out and see the huge number of cars. A free shuttle is provided to get you up the hill from the parking lots. To find out more about the Carlin Country Market, contact Carmen Massey at 250835-8766, or email ct-
massey@hotmail.com. To get involved as a vendor, entertainer or demonstration troupe, contact Janine Hogan at Janine@selectsolarsystems.com. Check out the school website at car.sd83. bc.ca, or the Carlin Country Market Facebook page for the latest updates to the market.

sewer system a priority for Area c
Paul Demenok The need for a community sewer system in Area C is clear as impacts from poorly performing septic systems have been measured in ongoing ground water testing in Blind Bay and Sorrento. In addition, a sewer system provides the opportunity to permit additional development and densification as prescribed in the Area C official community plan. The Liquid Waste Management Plan for Area C was completed in 2009. A review of the LWMP was conducted in 2013-14 with the aim of updating costs, looking for ways to improve financial viability and increasing readiness for infrastructure grant applications. Although the review did not provide cost reductions from the original plan, it did substantially improve our readiness to apply for infrastructure grants
veyance from a Sorrento treatment facility to an irrigation storage reservoir in the Balmoral area. This would eliminate the need for a second treatment facility and ground infiltration at a Sorrento site, which could be used as the required secondary means of disposal, thus further decreasing storage infrastructure requirements. The next step involves field investigations at a preferred Sorrento site to confirm its infiltration capacity. The CSRD was able to successfully obtain a senior government grant to fund part of the review costs, which has provided budget surplus with the original gas tax allocation. These surplus funds will be utilized to fund the field investigations. The federal government has announced the new Canada Build-
ing Fund program, which would provide two-thirds cost recovery for chosen eligible projects (one-third federal, one-third provincial). The details regarding application criteria and requirements have not yet been released by the provincial government. It is anticipated that a community sewer system for Sorrento/Blind Bay will be an eligible project and, once the eligibility criteria is known, the CSRD board will determine projects to apply for. In the interim, I would like to thank the members of the advisory group who assisted in the process, namely, Barry Stokes, Mike Murrell and Ed Fearns. Thanks very much for a job well done! - Paul Demenok is the Area C director for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

Director’s notes
from senior government. The final report from this review is now posted on the CSRD website, and the highlights are as follows: 1. Six options were developed and the advisory group unanimously selected option 3 (f) as the best approach because it provides lower overall cost, greater flexibility in phasing and timing, a balance between disposal of effluent via ground infiltration and irrigation of reclaimed water, and it is fully compliant with the existing LWMP. 2. The selected option provides for servicing of Priority 1 areas in both Blind Bay and Sorrento via a new treatment facility in Sorrento. In Phase 2, liquid waste from Blind Bay would be diverted to a new treatment facility constructed in the Balmoral area. Remaining Priority 2 areas would be connected to the system, with Sorrento properties being serviced by a Sorrento facility, and properties in Blind Bay and Reedman Point serviced by the Balmoral facility. 3. There is an opportunity to significantly reduce costs in Phase 2 by constructing a con-

Students enjoy amphitheatre In April, the Carlin Elementary Middle School PAC, with generous donations of time and equipment from Corey and Ivy Matheson, Carmen Massey, and Ray Heare, and the financial support of a CSRD grant, built a beautiful outdoor amphitheatre that can be used as a learning space. The amphitheatre is built into the hillside in the back of the school, from rock sourced in the Shuswap, blending in with the natural surroundings. The small garden beds were moved, and are now beside the
primary playground. Additional rock has been placed around the school to create climbing surfaces for students. Carlin School would like to thank all the volunteers and supporters for their time, heart and work to make this amazing project possible. So far, students have been using the space during class for buddy reading and social studies presentations. At lunch, you can see students jumping from rock to rock, or spending time with their friends.

Boomers can take action for future brain health advisor to the Beautiful Minds campaign. Here are a few concepts that can help in understanding how to maintain a healthy brain at every age:
(NC) Baby boomers often think of 50 as the new 40. This is especially true now as the last members of the think-young generation reach the halfcentury mark. With an unprecedented life expectancy of 78.7 years for the youngest of the boomers, we are all being encouraged to incorporate healthy habits to keep our minds beautiful during the second half of life. The latest science indicates that there are simple, but powerful, steps you can take to help your brain remain strong and healthy as you age. A partnership between the National Center for Creative Aging (NCCA) in Washington, D.C. and the life’sDHAbrand, identifies key lifestyle factors known as the
“Four Dimensions of Brain Health” that can make a positive impact throughout life. The campaign, Beautiful Minds: Finding Your Lifelong Potential, names these factors as: diet and nutrition, physical health, mental health and social well-being. “Keeping the brain healthy is easier than many people realize. Everyday actions such as maintaining a diet including DHA omega-3 and other important nutrients like vitamin E and lutein, as well as staying active physically, mentally and socially, are all good ways to maintain long-term brain health and cognition,” says Dr. Michael Roizen, the co-founder of Real Age Inc. Dr. Roizen is also an author and
The nourished mind Many important dietary nutrients help to promote brain health, but recent research indicates a potential link between three key nutrients and a reduced risk of cognitive decline. Those nutrients are DHA omega-3, vitamin E and lutein. For years, research has demonstrated the benefits of DHA in maintaining brain health, yet most people eating a western diet don’t get enough DHA. It can be found naturally in fatty fish such as salmon and ocean trout, along with DHA-fortified foods like juice, milk, eggs, tortillas, yogurt, and algal DHAsupplements. A study recently published in The Journal of the American Medical Association showed that vitamin E may positively impact functional performance among participants with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s dis-

ease. Vitamin E can be found in milk, butter, eggs, vegetable oils, nuts, whole grains, wheat germ and dark leafy greens like spinach, and is available as a supplement. Additionally, new research on lutein, typically known for its benefits to eye health, has found a correlation between positive cognitive function in healthy older people and a diet rich in lutein. Incorporate lutein superfoods into your diet, such as dark leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach, collards and turnip greens, or egg yolks, peas and corn. The physically active mind Research has found associations between physical activity and improved cognitive skills. Engaging in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day may encourage new brain cells and connections. Take a walk over lunch, take the stairs instead of the elevator, join a club sporting league, or do something you enjoy outdoors.
The mentally engaged mind Studies have suggested that brain cells, much like muscle cells, can grow bigger and stronger with cognitive challenges and stimulation. People who continue to learn new activities and develop new skills and interests are exercising their brains in ways that may help to build connections in the brain, helping to support brain function. The socially connected mind Evidence supports the idea that social connectedness is vital to health, wellness and longevity. Experts theorize that having a rich social network may also help support brain health in a variety of ways, including providing us with better resources and stimulation. Staying socially connected helps you feel like you’re a part of something whether that is a club, a religious congregation or a volunteer group.

Happy Mother’s Day Dare to express your gratitude to Mom Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to express gratitude to our mothers for everything they have done, and continue to do every day. They give so much, all the time; that is why so many of us want to say “thank you” by offering them a gift on this special occasion.
A gift with no feeling behind it can ring false, though, if Mother’s Day is the only time of the year that a mother is pampered by her family. Authenticity and consistency are the best ways to convey gratitude. A real thank-you goes straight to the heart and is more appreci-
ated then the most spectacular of gifts.

Be more attentive to the things that your mother does for your well-being, and take into account the lengths she goes to in wanting to help you do well. Try to understand that these little things she does are her way of telling you how much she loves you. When you realize how often your mother communicates this to you in her own way, you’ll want to reciprocate and

Make her dream come true: She deserves it! So many mothers love to give little treats to their children, however young or old they may be. On Mother’s Day reverse this role by making her dream come true. Even though Mother’s Day is often criticized as being a purely commercial occasion, you can still make this day a memorable one by organizing a special
event for your mom. There are the old standbys of breakfast in bed, a trip to the movies, or a bunch of flowers, but there are all sorts of other, more original ideas. Give free rein to your creativity and innovation to find what truly interests your mother. Emotional experiences, an urge for originality, sensations of well-be-
ing, a day as the centre of attention: there are so many ways to personalize the celebration of this ever so important person. Think about gift certificates for such things as a parachute jump, golf lessons, the hiring of an author to write the story of her life, or some appointments with a stylist to update her wardrobe. If she has a wild side, take her
to a tatoo parlour or for a photograph sessions where she poses like her favourite movie star! If your mother loves to travel, theme vacations organized by travel agents are very popular at the moment. You could invite her to choose a hotel and the activities she’d enjoy around a specific theme, such as golf, history, gourmet din-
Thoughtful gifts for the new mom (NC) Ask any new mom what she’d like this Mother’s Day, and she’ll likely ask for a few extra hours of sleep. Between feedings, diaper changes and interrupted nights, most mothers of newborns can use all the help they can get. If you have a new mom in your life, help make her first Mother’s Day one that she’ll always remember. Canadian lifestyle expert, Janette Ewen offers these tips for choosing thoughtful gifts for the new mom: Time is precious. If you
arrange something like a cleaning service, the delivery of groceries, or a qualified baby-sitting service, you will surely ease the workload and put a smile on her face. “Even volunteering a few hours to empty the dishwasher and fold some laundry can be a huge help for parents of newborns,” Ewen points out. Make her feel special. How about a gift card that ensures she takes time out for her body, mind, and soul? A voucher for a ped-
icure or hair appointment makes her feel pampered, it also gives her some much needed alone time. Celebrate special milestones. If you prefer to give her a keepsake to honour her first year as a mother, a gift of jewelry may be just the thing. Why not start a charm bracelet, so you can continue to add to it in years to come? Motherhood is filled with milestones, so imagine all the different charms you could add.

ing, arts and culture, or a night in a trendy boutique hotel. Asking lots of questions will help you discover your mother’s secret ambitions. Did she ever have to give up an activity because of fear or lack of money? What would she love to do before she dies? What does she regret the most? Carry out your very own secret investigation!

Team Chase does it again
n To raise money for the CIBC Run For the Cure, Team Chase hosted the Fourth Annual Pink Ribbon Classic golf tournament at Sunshore Golf Course on May 4. Despite the poor weather, 76 golfers played. Above left, Jane Herman tees off in her pink bunny ears. To right, Lester Kyle finishes off his putt, made a little more difficult by potatoes as obstacles all over the green.
Suspect arrested at lakeshore An Edmonton man is in custody and facing numerous charges after an eventual arrest on May 1 that involved Shuswap residents, logging truck drivers, Chase and Barriere police, Central Interior Traffic Services, the police dog service, the emergency response team and an Air 4 heli-
copter from Kamloops. Chase RCMP report that 20-year-old Justin Brock Normand of Edmonton is facing charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000 (a car), intentionally causing damage to the car by arson, break and enter of a home with theft of a firearm and illegal pos-
session of the firearm. Police say Normand is alleged to have stolen a car in Edmonton, then drove through Clearwater and Barriere before stopping at Adams Lake where the break-and-enter and arson to the car occurred. Residents and logging truck drivers at-
tempted to contain the suspect until police arrived. When police, the dog service and the helicopter responded, they were able to locate the suspect on a small boat on Adams Lake. He was arrested a few hours later as he came ashore.

High-Speed Internet. Where you live.
Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents. Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia. The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high. The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet. “The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Heat captain going to Central Oklahoma

n Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge held its spring fling event this past weekend. Jill Goward, a three-year volunteer at the the refuge, shows guests how to build their own Victorian Basket.
The Chase Heat Junior Hockey Club has announced that team captain Kurtis Johnson has committed to Division II University of Central Oklahoma for next season. Johnson came to the Heat three years ago as a rookie out of the famed Notre Dame Saskatchewan program. The durable leader missed only four contests during his stint with the Chase squad, while leading the team on and off the ice. The go-to veteran received the Most Valuable Player Award in 2011-12 as well as Warrior of the Year in 201314. He persevered through the ups and downs of the early development of a junior franchise and always rose to the top. Johnson remembers all the early ups and downs with so many great friends. “After three years I feel like Chase is home, thanks to everyone for making it special,” he said. The Chase Heat just completed their third season in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, finishing second in their division. The team has high expectations for the players wearing the red, white and black. Development of quality young men on and off the ice is the basis of the program. Education at both secondary and post-secondary levels are key components of the team’s focus.

Thailand: Just waiting for the coup to begin GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer If you are trying to get rid of the legitimately elected government of your country, it helps to have the Constitutional Court, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Election Commission on your side. And Thailand’s Constitutional Court has come through for the opposition once again: it has just ousted Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and nine of her cabinet ministers for improperly removing a civil servant from office. This is the latest move in an eight-year campaign by the old
political establishment and its middle-class supporters in Bangkok to destroy a populist party, twice renamed and currently called Pheu Thai, that has won every election since 2001. The street protests by the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) that have intermittently paralysed Bangkok since last November get the headlines, but the courts remain an indispensable weapon too. The civil servant who lost his post, Thawil Pliensri, was the head of the National Security Council. He was appointed by a previous government that was deeply hostile to Yingluck’s party, and he was publicly critical of her government. So after winning the 2011 election she moved him to a different post and put in a national security head of her own choice. In most democratic
countries that would be seen as a normal part of politics. Even in Thailand, where the nonelected official bodies are all dominated by people sympathetic to the opposition, it is hard to deny that the government has the right to choose its own senior officials. So the actual complaint the Constitutional Court ruled on was that Thawil’s transfer was motivated by nepotism. The prime minister actually replaced Thawil with a general called Paradorn Pattanatabut, who is not a relation – but his promotion allowed a distant relative of hers, also a general, to move up one rung in the hierarchy. It didn’t give him political power or more money, but any old accusation will do if the court works for the opposition. The Constitutional Court found Yingluck guilty of nepotism and ordered her to step down.
Meanwhile, the National Anti-Corruption Commission has brought corruption charges against 223 members of parliament belonging to Pheu Thai, and the Election Commission has ruled that the party’s victory in the February election was invalid because the main opposition party boycotted the election and disrupted voting in 10 percent of the polling stations. Yingluck Shinawatra had actually called another election for July 20 July, before she was dismissed, but the opposition party and its supporters in the streets of Bangkok have already rejected it as Pheu Thai would just win yet again. What they want first is “political reforms” that would prevent the rural poor, Yingluck’s biggest source of support, from voting at all. Meanwhile the PDRC’s street protests continue, and Su-
thep Thaugsuban, the movement’s leader, is brutally frank about their objective: “From a Western point of view, ‘democracy’ is an elected government serving as the people’s representative,” he said. “Unfortunately, elections in Thailand do not represent people’s (real) choices because their votes are bought.” What he means is that the parties led by Yingluck, and earlier by her exiled brother Thaksin Shinawatra, have “bribed” the poor, and peasant farmers in particular, with policies like a universal health-care system, micro-credit development funds for villages, price supports for rice and low-interest loans for farmers. In other countries, such policies are seen as normal and legitimate political tools in the competition for votes. They have outraged the prosperous middle-class in Bang-
kok and the south, who were accustomed to having the government devote most of its time and money to their own needs, but they have delivered five election victories in a row for the Pheu Thai party and its predecessors in a country where the majority of voters are still poor farmers. The PDRC’s solution is to prevent any more elections until an unelected People’s Council, made up of “good people” chosen by the elite institutions that support the opposition, can “reform” the political system by excluding voters who are poorly educated or simply poor. Then the conservative opposition parties would finally be able to win elections. Relying on their allies in the judiciary and the various official commissions to prevent elections or set their results aside has served the right-wing parties well since the
original military coup that overthrew Thaksin Shinawatra in 2006. In the last four months, however, they have returned to the streets in Bangkok, and their next step may be to ask the army for another coup. That is the only thing that could give them their cherished “People’s Council” and the disenfranchisement of a substantial part of the electorate. All their street demonstrations and legal obstructionism are ultimately intended to create a political paralysis that will provide the pretext for such a coup, and they are now probably quite close to achieving that goal. The only little problem is that a whole generation of Thais has now grown up to expect that they will have a political voice in the government of their country. Another coup, in these circumstances, could well be the trigger for civil war.

Maureen McTavish, Shelagh Lytle-McGhee, Heino Lilles, Phil Wright and Travis Roberts were greeted by hosts John and Woinshet Baigent after arriving in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in February, 2014. They learned firsthand about the people, their history and culture. PHOTOS COURTESY: Maureen McTavish
“People everywhere.” “Overwhelming poverty.” “The experience is so intense”. The Salmon Arm Rotary Club has completed numerous projects working with Partners in the Horn of Africa throughout the past decade. A local team recently toured various completed projects and saw first-hand how we are helping to make a difference on the other side of the world. Although the recurring western image of Ethiopia is of a country of famine and drought, it is in fact a beautiful mountainous country with many lakes and rivers. Ethiopia is often considered the “cradle of humanity” and it was there that Lucy was discovered in 1974 and determined to be the oldest known hominid in the world - dated at least 3.2 million years old. Ethiopia’s capital is Addis Ababa, a city of about 3.5 million people, where the African Union and its predecessor the OAU are based. It is often referred to as “the political capital of Africa” due to its historical, diplomatic and political significance for the continent.
The problems which Ethiopia faces are staggering. One of the poorest countries on the planet where 66% of the population live on less than $2 per day, the population grows faster than the economy. Much of the land is mountainous and there is not enough arable farm land to meet the needs of the country. On top of that Ethiopia is regularly plagued by droughts - particularly in the more arid north and in the Rift Valley which bisects mainland Ethiopia. The country is almost devoid of natural resources with the majority of the population of 91.73 million (2012) relying on subsistence farming.
“Our trip to Ethiopia was an amazing fullon life experience.” -Maureen McTavish
Many children do not attend school, and 44% of children who start school make it to grade 5. Ethiopia ranks 4th among Canada’s aid recipients.

Landscaping
The art of gardening on a slope
S
loping ground can prove to be a challenge for amateur gardeners. A common problem is that water and fertilizers quickly trickle to the bottom of the slope without doing the job they were intended for. That is why it is essential to put in step terracing on this kind of terrain. This type of layout has the advantage of limiting the effect of runoff and improving water infiltration in the soil. These terraces also make it easier for gardeners to get to their plants and increase the number of flowerbeds.
of stone. To create the first terrace, start at the top of the slope. The subsequent slopes will level out as you descend. Two or three terraces are usually sufficient for a residential property. Incidentally, the terraces don’t all have to be the same size. Once the work is completed, the terraces can be used in the same way as flat ground. When choosing plants, just be sure to choose species for the lower levels that won’t grow taller than those higher up the slope.
The usual way of building a terraced slope is to construct dry-stone supporting walls. This is the most durable solution as well as the most esthetic. It does, however, require some technique and a lot of time and patience to do a good job. Wood can also be used for this type of project, but its lifespan is not as long as that

Leadnow.ca will hold a rally at MP Colin Mayes’ office on 29th Street in Vernon at noon Saturday. “Canada is at an en-
ergy crossroads and the federal government is shutting climate change out of the debate,” said Jacqui Gingras, a local organizer. “Now people are coming together across Canada to strengthen each others voices against new pipelines and expanding extreme energy, like tar sands and fracking, while
calling for a transition to a just, safe and clean energy future.” Gingras says there are currently six major pipeline projects being promoted by government and industry in Canada. “We can do so much better. Together, we are calling on all politicians to commit to cap extreme energy, reduce

Parents play a role in developing resiliency CHILDREN’S CORNER Tanja Carlson
Life is full of ups and downs. It’s the way we handle them that will make the difference between moving on or melting down. The skills and attributes we use to cope when we face challenges is called ‘resiliency.’ As parents, we play an important role in developing resiliency in
our children. Our resiliency helps children in two ways. When things aren’t going well, our resiliency helps us to get back to being the parent we’d like to be more quickly. Secondly, children learn how to be resilient using the model we as parents provide. There are four main
areas we can use and build upon to develop our resiliency skills: Supportive Relationships Rely on our relationships with friends and loved ones for: • Emotional support • Sharing the ups and downs of life • Help and advice Emotional Skills
• Avoid making bad decisions when upset Competence We can use our thinking ability and life skills we’ve developed to: • Understand and solve problems • Find information and answers to our questions • Control the parts of our lives we can control
Concrete
• Learn to live with and adapt to things we can’t control Optimistic Thinking Helps us to: • See hope in difficult situations • Find ways to help ourselves when faced with challenges • Make the most of good times and have fun.

Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 6 years. A 45+ year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally. After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician. He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces. His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently. Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job. For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.
