Board proceeds with planned cuts By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

The School District #83 Board of Education proceeded with a revised preliminary budget on May 13 for the coming school year that will involve reductions to a number of educational services. The reductions are being made in order to accommodate a $1.8 million deficit the district is facing. “Many hours have been spent making these difficult decisions,” said Bobbi Johnson, board chair. “We take this decision to heart.” A decrease in enrolment that is expected to continue to decline, resulted in staffing and sup-

ply reductions that saved $620,000, but the district was left with a remaining $1.2 million to be cut from school district operations. The budget cuts will blanket a vast area of district programs such as reductions to the music program to save $20,000, cuts to deaf and hard of hearing programs to save $20,000, special education teachers’ reductions to save $40,000 and cuts to counselling staff to save $50,000. Holly Overgaard, trustee for the North Shuswap, said that rather than eliminating programs all together, the board is making reductions with the hope they can rebuild these programs in the future. Other reductions will be made to speech and language pathologists, the adult education pro-

gram and gifted student programs. Jennifer Henrie, who has a son who struggles with a language impairment, made a speech to the board asking them to reconsider making cuts to speech and language pathologists. “Speech and language pathologists should not be cut; spending money on SLPs in the school is not a wasted endeavour or an elective,” said Henrie. “It’s core, it’s essential.” Another substantial cut being made will be the change in elementary and middle school teacher/ librarian staffing ratios to match those at the secondary school level. This will result in the loss of

Parents, teachers protest reductions nearly three full-time positions and a savings of $283,400. Geri Davey, teacher/ librarian at Salmon Arm West Elementary, spoke with regard to these cuts and the changing role of the teacher/librarian. “We are at a crossroads tonight, students are going to be faced with more closed library doors,” said Davey. “I know it may seem like we can’t afford our schools but what price will we pay?” Shannon Murrels-Allaway, teacher/librarian at Parkview Elementary in Sicamous said she was upset with every cut that was proposed

in the budget. “I’m very concerned for our B.C. youth and school systems,” said Murrels-Allaway. “There’s so many basics that aren’t being covered.” The school board made it clear that they have looked at all options available to eliminate the impact the budget cuts will have on parents, students and staff. “Unfortunately we are down to a hand and are at the point of deciding which finger we are going to lose,” said Barry Chafe, Sicamous trustee. “These decisions aren’t taken lightly, but I don’t know how to get around it.” Johnson said the board has been very vo-

cal to the Ministry of Education with regard to receiving more funding. “What we are left with to meet the budgets shortfalls are nothing less than human be-

Bobbi Johnson ings,” said Bob Fowler, Armstrong trustee. “If the government isn’t willing to invest, that’s what we’re left with.” The possible solution presented to these

cuts was the idea that the public needs to get involved and speak out to the ministry. “Realistically, the public has been mute on it,” said Chafe. “Unless the public at large sends a message that this is not acceptable, nothing will change.” Heather McDonald, a teacher at Shuswap Middle School, suggested making a public display such as a “Honk for Public Education” campaign. “Certainly, we can wake up some people,” said McDonald. “Let’s act, let’s get on it, the time has come.” When posed with the question if the board considered not passing the budget, the board

stated that they did so to avoid facing the elimination of school boards all together. Jackie Graham, parent, president of the Parents Advisory Council and employee of the district, said she wasn’t surprised to see the board go ahead with the budget approval. “It’s upsetting as a parent,” said Graham. “It hurts our students, hurts our teachers and hurts our parents.” The budget will move forward to the June 10 meeting where the annual budget bylaw will be presented for approval. The full budget report can be found on the School District #83 website at www.sd83. bc.ca.

Reward offered for golf vandalism Orchard Park Terrace By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Salmon Arm Golf Club is offering a reward leading to the apprehension of vandals who attacked greens on the Championship Course. A news release issued by the club’s board of directors and membership states that $5,000 has been raised by the membership for a reward regarding the vandalism that was carried out at the end of April. “The culprits marked a number of the club’s greens with some sort of aggressive pesticide spray like Roundup. While the markings are unsightly, they fortunately do not affect the play-

ability of the putting surfaces. The evidence of this senseless attack will diminish over the next several weeks.” It continues: “We believe, in the days preceding the opening of the Champions Course on April 30, the culprits made their way onto the golf course.” It’s believed the vandalism took place sometime between 7 p.m. Monday, April 28 and 8 a.m. April 29. “This was not a random incident and we believe the vandals would know the golf course layout extremely well in order to get around undetected.” The vandals are believed to have accessed the golf course

through a vacant lot off 40th Avenue and 54th Street SE in the industrial park. The lot is adjacent to Adam Integrated and below the 18th tee area. Vehicle tire tracks and footprint samples were gathered from the scene. “The Salmon Arm Golf Club is a prized community asset, an integral draw for tourism to the area as well as a much used facility by the Salmon Arm community,” states the release. “An event such as this affects the entire community, not just golfers.” Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP at 250-832-6044, or Doug Herron of the Salmon Arm Golf Club at 250-832-3667, ext. 203.

Evacuation order partially rescinded By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

One family will be able to get back into their Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Road home, but they’ll have to be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. The evacuation order, issued by the Co-

lumbia Shuswap Regional District on April 23 following a debris flow on McIntyre Creek, was partially rescinded on Tuesday. The residents of 6098 Sunnybrae-Canoe Point Road are now permitted to return to their property, but remain on evacua-

tion alert and must be prepared to leave on short notice. “This rescind order only applies to the one property and residents will be given as much advance notice as possible if evacuation is required,” reads a Shuswap Emergency Program release.

“However, it may be limited notice due to rapidly changing conditions.” For more information, contact 250-8335927, or visit www. csrd.bc.ca/services/ emergency-management-program/shuswap-emergency-program.

Time to take tea at Haney “The timeless tradition of afternoon tea is an occasion to celebrate politeness, good manners, and community,” says R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum manager Susan Mackie, who extends an invitation to the fifth annual High Tea on Sunday, May 25 from 1 to 3 p.m. “At the village, we take pride in keeping this social affair as regal as we can.” Enjoy an afternoon of antics, music, entertainment, tea and treats – set in the beautiful surroundings of the village. The award-winning comedian and actor Christine Pilgrim will be in attendance. Pilgrim is best known in theatre for her role in Lock Up Your Daughters, with a command performance to Queen Elizabeth II. Last year she played Alexandra of Denmark, a prominent member of the Royal Family, in the “Guess Who” game and entertained with her hilarious performance of the Seven Minute Hamlet. Attendees will once again be challenged to “Guess Who” as Pilgrim mingles among the tables, dropping hints as to the character she is impersonating. Salmon Arm musician, Peter Clark will fill the village with his unique blend of music. Gordon Allen, author of the children’s book

Reduced response times a worry BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) is defending a Resource Allocation Plan that has downgraded some medical emergencies from Code 3 to Code 2. That means only the fire department responds with lights and sirens at speeds above posted limits while the ambulance drives at posted limits and gets there later. Much later say some local fire departments. Recently, Burnaby’s deputy fire chief wrote to Dr. William Dick, the vice-president of medical programs for BCEHS, detailing 11 cases since last October where his firefighters had to wait more than an hour at a medical call before an ambulance showed up. There were another 67 incidents where the wait was longer than 30 minutes. But according to BCEHS, the change in ambulance response time has actually allowed paramedics to get to serious Code 3 emergencies quicker, by about one minute. The downgraded Code 2 calls now take about 10 minutes longer in the Lower Mainland. But there’s less potential for accidents, and the change isn’t affecting patient outcome. Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan says most firefighters are trained to do basic first aid, not to assess patients or administer medical treatment. Municipal governments around the Lower Mainland say this change in service is downloading. Instead of increasing resources to handle the growing demand for service, the province is reducing some services to hold the line on costs. BCEHS argues the firefighters should slow down to some of their calls as well. That’s little comfort to a patient who’s just suffered a seizure, or a senior who’s just tumbled down stairs. -Burnaby Newsleader

OPINION

Carp a big contender at fishing derby For the past three weeks, I have been going down to the end of the wharf to check out the water level of the lake. The lake has certainly come up in the past few weeks. Another thing I’ve noticed is all the carp that have come into the bay to feed on some sort of early insect hatch. I mention this because it is usually a big carp that wins the annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby. A kid can have a lot of fun fishing for carp off the docks at the end of the wharf. So can an angler such as myself, never having really grown up. According to what I have been able to find on the Internet, carp are members of the Cyprinidae family and inhabit fresh waters from the Gulf of Mexico to northern Russia. The common carp, which inhabit our Interior waters, is easily distinguished from other cypinids by the heavy and strongly serrated spines in the anterior portion of its dorsal and anal fins, and by the presence of two rather long, fleshy barbels on each

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray side of its upper jaw. They are not a pretty fish by any stretch. Carp are omnivorous feeders, with a preference for chironomid pupae and damsel fly nymphs, as well as, other aquatic invertebrates, plankton and macro algae. When feeding, they tend to disturb sediments, thus increasing water turbidity and causing all sorts of problems for insects that inhabit the flora on the lake bottom. In their natural habitat and over their natural range, carp can live to be well over 20 years old, and can grow to reach lengths of up to 50 inches. Sexually mature fish move into the warm waters of the shallows to spawn in late spring. One single

female will lay anywhere from 300,000 to 600,000 eggs. There are any number of species of coarse fish swimming around in the waters near most wharves at any given time. Carp, suckers, peamouth chub and pike minnows (squaw fish) are but a few. Which again brings me around to the 18th Annual Salmon Arm Kids Fishing Derby, to be held Sunday morning, June 15 down at the end of the wharf. As in previous years, there will be a variety of coarse fish caught. However, as in previous years, the derby will be likely be won by the angler who manages to bring in the largest carp. While some coarse fish may have certain preferences when it comes to eating, they also have an amazing ability to adapt. In my experience, one can pretty well guarantee finding a few course fish hanging around beneath structures such as wharves, docks and log booms, waiting for food to fall into the water. The tremendous variety of angling “methods” used by the hun-

dreds of participants who take part in the derby every year only goes to show how varied the diet and feeding habits of carp and other coarse fish can be. Everything from worms to dough balls to pieces of cheese can be used to attract coarse fish. Species such as pike minnows tend to be predatory, non-selective feeders, while suckers and chub, which have smaller mouths, tend to take worms over food sources such as bait fish. Carp, on the other hand, are both aggressive and opportunistic feeders who will feed on everything from micro-invertebrates to insect larvae and pupae to baitfish. While it is more often than not a carp that wins the derby, there have been years when a large pike minnow has weighed in at top spot. The trick isn’t so much how to get a big carp to take your offering, it’s more, what to do once you’ve got it on the line. My advice for any young angler who ties into a big carp at the derby would be to just hold on and reel like mad.

VIEW POINT

Anti-development stance cripples Chase This letter is in response to Dennis Youchezin. Thank you for speaking up for Chase. Unfortunately we did not recognize the overwhelming need to support Pinnacle. We just took for granted it was a nobrainer that any industry coming to Chase would be welcomed with open arms. To our surprise the naysayers, as Youchezin calls them (I prefer to refer to them as bullies), have nothing else to do all day but pick projects to protest against.

It’s sad that people like ourselves, who work full time and raise families, have to suffer through this kind of negativity. This type of destructive behaviour these people engage in is crippling to a small town’s economy. Bravo council, you put your necks out there. We really appreciate it. You tried. Sadly the squeaky wheel often gets the grease. Do we keep bowing down to these bullies and give them what they want or do we nip it now before they

have done irreversible damage and there is no business or economy in Chase? May I suggest if they prefer a ghost town, acreage is a great option, possibly a commune. As young families, we want to see our children have the opportunity for jobs and to stay if they choose. If we don’t nip it now, Chase, what will these bullies do next? What will be the next project they sink their dentures into at our beautiful town’s expense? If you want

Harper’s agenda trumps all else The late Farley Mowat never let the facts get in the way of a good story. Farley’s infidelity to the facts can be overlooked because he was a humorous writer with an endearing crotchety personality and a passion for educating us about the natural world. Farley’s engag-

ing voice will forever echo inside the covers of his books. Stephen Harper never lets the facts get in the way of his conservative agenda. Stephen’s infidelity to the facts should not be overlooked because he is a humourless politician with a cold, calculating personality and

an unnatural passion for power and control. Harper’s ambidextrous voice will forever echo inside the Prime Minister’s Office, the House of Commons, the Senate chamber and now the office of the Supreme Court chief justice. Lloyd Atkins

to see advancement and opportunity for your children let’s find the energy to stand up. Again, thanks to people like Youchezin and Chase council for standing up and trying to do the right thing. A question we have – is there any basis or evidence to back this strong-arming behaviour up? Is that fact or fiction? I haven’t seen any. Shelley Van Dusen Lesley Turner

Info served with dinner The South Shuswap Health Services Society invites members and their friends to a potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 20 in the small ballroom at Shuswap Lake Estates. Find out more about the society, its accomplishments over the last year and plans for the near future. Guest speakers will include Betty Brown, community health facilitator for Interior Health, who will discuss benefits to the community with a Healthy Communities Initiative, and Dr. Mary Johnston, B.C.’s rural continuing medical education leader,

who will talk about physician recruitment. South Shuswap Health Services Society members recently attended the Rural Physicians Conference for Canada in Banff, and will attend the Rural Emergency Continuum of Care Conference in Penticton on May 30 and 31 to show doctors from across Canada the opportunities available to them in the Shuswap. Since its incorporation in mid-2013, the non-profit society has been moving steadily closer to realizing its vision to promote sustainable health care and medical services in the South Shuswap.

The population of the South Shuswap — approximately 7,800 to 10,000 people — does not have immediate access to medical or health services, and the physician in Sorrento recently retired. IHA recently approved a nurse practitioner who is now working in Sorrento under the support of the Sorrento and Area Community Association. But South Shuswap residents must access medical, lab and public health services

in Salmon Arm. In emergencies, they have the expert services of the South Shuswap First Responders. The society is working to: get access to these services closer to home; to allow seniors to stay in their homes longer getting the medical care they need in their own community and to get the infrastructure necessary to support health care for younger families.

A look at geology of the Shuswap

Jim Cooperman The Shuswap has a fascinating geological past, as below our feet is a section of a Precambrian craton called the Shuswap terrane, which is over two billion years old. Most of the rocks found in the Shuswap are metamorphic, including primarily schists, argillite, gneiss, and phyllite, formed from either igneous or sedimentary rock by heat and pressure. Plate tectonic processes created the mountains we see today. In addition to the mountains, these plate movements and earthquakes created folds and fault lines and many of these became distinct geological features. Plate tectonics lifts up parts of the earth’s crust and depresses other parts. Uplift forms plateaus, but erosion carves these into mountains and valleys. Near the Shuswap region, collision of crustal plates formed the Rocky Mountains. At the close of the mountain building period some 60 million

lava has been removed from erosion, a few hills remained covered such as Mt. Ida, where volcanic rock overlays much older, igneous rock. Another example can be found in Dennison-Bonneau Park situated south of Lumby, where there are ancient hoodoos hidden in the forest. Many of these are also present in the Okanagan Valley. There is no evidence of recent volcanic activity within the Shuswap watershed but to the south of the watershed near Kelowna, there are volcanic flows as young as 700,000 years. The final geological forces that created our unique geography were the periods of glaciation that first began about 2 million years ago, particularly the last ice age that began melting approximately 13,000 years ago. There are various theories about the cause of the advancing and melting of glaciers, including massive volcanic activity, a shift in the earth’s orbit, or changes in the sun’s activity. Prior to the melting, a vast sheet of ice and snow nearly two kilometres in depth covered this entire region. After the melt there was a gigantic lake that flowed south to where the Columbia River is now due to a blockage that prevented the water from flowing west.

This lake reached an elevation of 155 metres above the present level of Shuswap Lake. As a result, siltation resulted in a layer of fertile soil along the North Broadview and Glen Eden benches. The ancient spillway south created the chain of small lakes and bogs along highway 97B. When the blockage gave way, the flow moved to its current direction, to the Fraser River towards the Pacific. Sediment build-up from Fortune Creek likely also helped to reverse the flow. Most of our rivers and creeks follow ancient fault lines, and that is why creeks that enter rivers from different directions often match either, indicating smaller fault lines that cross perpendicular to the larger river faults. Glacier melt water was channeled into these faults, carving off the softer material, thus cutting the canyons found today. The ice sheet melted and the glacial waters filled many Shuswap valleys and deposited the loose till material, including the soils, sands, gravels, rocks and boulders that cover the valley bottoms and hillsides. However, the Shuswap’s large deep, narrow lakes are remnants of ancient faults and were still filled with giant fingers of ice, which prevented

the glacial melt from filling them with sediment. At the outlet of nearly every creek and river is a fan of sediment laid down over thousands of years and this process continues every time there is a major erosion event after bouts of heavy rains atop melting snow. The fan created by the Eagle River covered a portion of Shuswap Lake forming the Sicamous Channel and Mara Lake. And the Adams River fan formed the Little River and the Little Shuswap Lake.

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. Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

SHUSWAP PASSION

years ago, compressive forces died away and the crust experienced extensional forces as crustal plates moved in different directions. This led to the formation of faults in what is now the Southern Rocky Mountain Trench, the Columbia River at Revelstoke, and the Okanagan Valley. The valleys formed by erosion of the crushed rocks in these fault zones. The Columbia River Fault slopes down to the east while the Okanagan Valley Fault slopes down to the west. These faults separate upper and lower levels of the crust. About 45 to 50 million years ago, as upper levels slid down to the east and west, the lower levels rose at least 20 kilometres, bringing the old metamorphic rocks of the Shuswap terrane to the surface. At the same time, molten volcanic rocks moved up through the crust, heated water in the crust and lubricated the fault zones. These rocks also formed numerous volcanoes at the surface. Lava flows erupted from fissures in the earth along a belt extending from the Yukon to as far south as Yellowstone. Some of the flows flanked the Monashee Mountains, which prevented the lava from flowing east of Mabel Lake. While most of the

Your Health &

Wellness

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Exercise your eye health

(NC) While it’s no surprise that our lifestyles play a role in everything from the risk of high blood pressure to our cholesterol count, did you also know that what you eat, how often you work out, and your overall health is also

important to the health of the eyes? This summer, take charge of your eye health by making some simple lifestyle choices, perhaps starting with these ideas: Get moving: Exercise can lower pressure in the eye

when you have glaucoma. If you’ve been diagnosed with glaucoma, exercise can keep it from worsening. So the next time the sun is out, go for a run in the park (and don’t forget to wear sunglasses!). Eye candy: Green leafy veggies like kale, collard and mustard greens, and spinach are good for the eyes because they contain lutein, which studies indicate can prevent the progression of macular degeneration. Don’t smoke: Smoking increases the risk and accelerates the development of cataracts, macular degeneration and optic nerve damage. Chill out: Stress reduction is important because it contributes to the onset of eye conditions. Try to spend 15 minutes a day in a stress reducing activity like going for a walk or

pursuing a relaxing hobby like reading or a friendly game of cards. The goal is to reduce blood pressure, which in turn, lowers eye pressure. Step on the scale: People who are severely overweight or obese are at risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes, which can lead to diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina caused by complication of diabetes). Manage your weight through exercise and eating well. “Eyes are precious and the importance of sight is often not realized until it’s lost,” says Dr. Tanya Dillon, a doctor of optometry. “Getting an eye exam is the first step to protecting your eye health.” Find a doctor of optometry near you to book your eye exam at www.doctorsofoptometry.ca. www.newscanada.com

Let’s say our goodbyes to allergy eyes (NC) This year’s long winter means that many trees are pollinating at the same time unlike the usual staggered season. As a result, the 2014 allergy season is expected to be a short but tough one. Canadians with allergies are often quick to seek help for their sneezing, sniffling and nasal congestion. But allergies can also have a painful effect on the

eyes, causing them to be red, itchy, burning, and watery. Like all allergies, those that afflict the eyes are caused by a glitch in the body’s immune system. “The trouble starts when the conjunctiva (the mucous membrane that lines the eyelids and covers the whites of the eyes) comes into contact with something that, while actually harmless, is

seen as a threat,” says Dr. Jason Saunders, a Canadian doctor of optometry. “In a mistaken attempt to fight off the threat, the immune system makes antibodies that cause the eyes to release histamine and other substances that, in turn, makes eyes red, itchy and watery.” For seasonal eye allergy sufferers, it is recommended to begin treatment early in

the season. “I instruct my patients to begin a preventative regimen as early as March if they have a known seasonal allergy because it’s easier to control symptoms,” says Dr. Saunders. Remedies to relieve symptoms can involve oral over-the-counter anti-histamine medications, eye drops, cold compresses and a variety of lifestyle changes such as keep-

ing windows closed, keeping air conditioners clean and furnace filters dust free. Regardless of the season, all of us are different and eye allergy symptoms can be very uncomfortable. Consult your doctor of optometry for the treatment that best suits your needs. To find a doctor near you visit www.doctorsofoptometry.ca. www.newscanada.com

Salmon Arm gets YouTube presence A new way to market Salmon Arm can be found on YouTube. Five videos, each with a different focus, are now on a new YouTube channel entitled, Living in Salmon Arm. The videos, in five categories – agriculture, commercial, lifestyle, manufacturing and tourism, were created through a collaboration of seven community organizations. The intention, according to a news release, is to create “an opportunity for community organizations and businesses to share a consistent, highquality message about the community.” The seven organizations which collaborated on the videos were Community Futures Shuswap, Downtown Salmon Arm, Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, Salmon Arm Economic Development Society, Shuswap Construction Industry Professionals, Shuswap Hospital Foundation and Shuswap Tourism, with assistance from Mediability Corporate Communications. The videos can be found at: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=VoKjQBEWSk4. They will be distributed via trade shows, targeted initiatives and the (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX collaborator’s websites.

Addressing flooding in the Shuswap

Greg kyllo Every spring, the freshet is a concern for residents in communities throughout the Shuswap. Having lived here for most of my life, I understand the danger and threat of flooding brings to communities in our region. The stress, heartache and grief that families go through to see their homes and their possessions destroyed by natural disasters is unimaginable. Recently, on May 3, when the landslide hit the Shuswap River near Enderby, I drove out to meet with officials and first respond-

along with an additional $666,667 of funds shared between the Government of Canada and the City of Enderby, to upgrade the Regent Avenue lift station protecting 60 businesses and 250 homes in the area. I commend the City of Enderby for being proactive in applying for this funding so the community can be better prepared for higher water flows. Not only will the main commercial area and nearby neighbourhoods be protected, but jobs and economic benefits will be created in the community with these upgrades. As your MLA, I will continue to work with local government, regional districts and my colleagues to find new solutions to prevent flooding from impacting our communities. -Greg Kyllo is the MLA for the Shuswap riding.

Our government continues to provide support, co-ordination and guidance to the local authority as needed. The Province will also pay for all eligible response and recovery activities undertaken, as we recognize that all necessary decisions made in this emergency are best undertaken by local authorities.

n Nathan Gollan carries the ball while Matt Bacon, to the left, and Cody Dodd, at right, contribute to a 17-12 overtime win versus Penticton for Salmon Arm Secondary on May 8.

Rugby Jewels playoff dreams crushed series of quick passes in loose play, setting up Grace Rempel for a perfect conversion kick. There were numerous other scoring chances, but they were stymied by the united defence of the hometown squad. Inside centre Brooke Miller was inches from a corner try when she was gang-tackled, in-

flicting an ankle injury that sidelined her. SAS showed a marked improvement in set scrums, lineouts and rucks compared to the team’s previous matchup on April 2. However, Penticton’s dangerous backline staged numerous fast forays. Penticton goes on to meet North Kam-

loops and determine the Okanagan-Thompson champion team for 2014, which then heads to Provincials. The loss was especially bitter for the third-place Jewels, who will regret the absence of gritty Grade 12s Amy Sandy, Kaisha Fagrie and Olivia Plummer from next year’s squad.

Tips to reduce childhood anxiety Living Well My children and I were so excited to be going on a spring break vacation to sunny Arizona. My father is a snowbird who spends each winter in Phoenix and this would be our first trip since my youngest was an infant. As I was booking our plane tickets and imagining the trip my stomach tied in a knot as I realized we would have to go through airport security. My four-year-old can be quite clingy. New experiences are hard for him, especially if he is scared. I knew

he would need to walk through the airport security metal detector on his own so I pulled out my trusty early childhood teaching tools: talk, read and play. Talk: As I was telling my children about the trip we talked a lot about the airport. I explained each step in the airport security screening - first we take off our shoes and coats and put them through an xray machine; then we walk through the metal detector... I kept it simple. Visual information (facial expression, gesture, pictures) brings words to life. I did a little digging on YouTube and found some child-safe video clips of people putting their belongings through x-ray and walking through

the metal detector. Read: We visited our friendly neighbourhood library and took out some children’s picture books about travelling by plane. They didn’t cover all the ins and outs of airport security but they provided more pictures, information and the stories were fun to share! Play: We pretended to go on a trip. We packed our suitcases, drove to the airport and pretended to go through security. The bathroom door frame became the walk-through metal detector and a big bubble wand became the wand metal detector. We took turns being the passengers and the security staff. It was fun! In the end, the trip was a blast and airport

security was a breeze. My son knew what to expect and what was expected of him. He looked nervous walking through the metal detector but once through his big smile showed his pride. Talking, reading and playing before a new experience like visiting the dentist or starting kindergarten helps reduce the anxiety children naturally feel. Sometimes as parents we forget to tell our children what behaviour we expect from them. Talking, reading and playing also helps children know how to behave. -The author, Julie Lewis, is a Registered Speech-Language Pathologist with Interior Health.

CHASE

Man drowns in boating accident A Chase resident drowned Monday after a fishing boat capsized on Neskonlith Lake. Police have identified the victim as 77-year-old Walter Oleksyn. At 3 p.m. on May 12, Chase RCMP Detachment responded to a call of an overturned fishing boat on the lake. Reports indicated that Oleksyn and a man from Calgary went fishing in a 12-foot aluminum boat. The boat capsized after one of the men stood up in the boat as it approached shore. The incident occurred about 20 feet from shore. The Calgary man was able to swim back to shore, however his companion was not able to make the swim. Neither men was wearing a life jacket or PFD. RCMP officers were able to recover Oleksyn’s body, but he could not be resuscitated. Alcohol is not considered to be a factor in this incident.

n It’s all in the attitude, think gratitude. May is Gratitude month and the Chase Secondary Fun Fair on Friday, May 9 raised funds for the Gratitude campaign created by the Friends of Jorye, a 10-year-old boy who battled cancer with a positive and grateful attitude. People of all ages enjoyed entertainment options such as a bouncy castle, obstacle course, ring toss and more. The kids were also treated to special guest, Uncle Chris the Clown, who made children smile and laugh with his balloon animals and magic show. A fundraising dinner was held in the cafeteria.

Curling club considers closure

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Chase Curling Club may close its doors in September unless it recruits more members. The Village of Chase has agreed to help the club with $5,000 in the short term, but the club is still falling short in terms of support. Executive director Janice Winfield said there has been a steady decrease in members for the last 10 years.

“If anyone is in the least bit interested in trying curling, now is the time to try it,” said Winfield. “Anyone who wants to learn can come in at anytime – someone will be there to help.” Winfield said the club is going to need to recruit at least double the numbers of members it currently has in order to stay afloat. “It’s just another place where you can get exercise, socialize and have fun,” said Winfield. “There’s a lot of

camaraderie here.” The club offers a variety of options for both advanced and new curlers to try. One of the most recent is called stick curling. Stick curling requires two people per team and involves sliding the rocks down the ice using a stick rather than kneeling. “It’s like shuffleboard and very popular,” said Winfield. She says the club is going to be hosting pancake breakfasts

HAVE YOUR

throughout the summer in order to raise funds, with the first one happening on June 8. The decision on whether the club stays open will happen on Sept. 16, so Winfield says the more people who commit early, the better. “Without your sup-

port there will be no (club) next year, just a vacant lot were the club once stood,” states a news release from the club. Curling begins in October. Anyone interested is encouraged to send an e-mail to admin@chasecurling.ca.

Cost of the two units is $39,445.

Impaired driver gets two-year driving ban Licence-plate scanners may be the best tool for police to find prohibited drivers, but it was oldfashioned tattling by neighbours that got a driver off the road for two years. Gerry Kruks of Scotch Creek pleaded guilty Monday to three counts of driving while prohibited. “There’s not a heavy police presence (in North Shuswap) to monitor drivers,” Crown lawyer Chris Balison told provincial court in Kamloops.

“It’s no secret he’s bound by driving prohibitions.” Residents saw the retired heavy-equipment operator driving last year and reported him to police. Kruks, 75, has been convicted three times of driving while impaired. He has also been handed driving bans under immediate roadside-prohibition laws. Balison said that despite that record, Kruks has not been convicted in the past for driving while prohibited.

The Crown asked for $3,000 in fines and a five-year driving ban. Defence lawyer Kevin Church argued for a lesser driving ban, in the one- to two-year range. Provincial court Judge Stella Frame told Kruks that if he drives again, he will be going to jail. “You can’t continue to drive because you live in an isolated area and thumb your nose at the law,” she said. Frame handed Kruks a $3,000 fine and a two-year driving ban. - Kamloops This Week

DON McMILLAN Don McMillan passed from this world to join his wife and life partner, Ivy, on January 9, 2014. Don is best defined as a ‘family guy’… he loved his family more than anything and unabashedly demonstrated it. Don was born in Ontario Jan 5, 1930 but sadly lost his mother at the tender age of three which fractured his ‘family unit’. Don, along with his younger brother, Dwayne and oldest brother, Dean, were sent to live with relatives, while another brother, Austin, went to live with different relatives. This tragic loss made Don determined to keep family at the forefront of his life thereafter. Don worked hard throughout his life doing a variety of jobs but mainly a heavy equipment operator building dams and highways, mining, and, Don’s personal favorite, logging. Don’s jobs kept his family on the move every few years with the final stop in Salmon Arm in 1970, which became the family base for the next 34 years. Don then traveled for work on his own, so missed much of the family functions for several years. He was injured while working on the Coquihala Hwy in the mid-eighties and was forced to retire early. Don and Ivy had five children, Robert (Bobby), Dean, Sheryl, Gene and Reginald (Reg) but were sadly predeceased by Bobby in 1954 and Gene in 1986. Don and Ivy have eight grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. Don lost his wife, Ivy, to cancer after 47 years of marriage, on Sep 17,1998. Don supported Ivy in everyway possible during her difficult and painful journey and was left exhausted and heartbroken on her passing. Don’s next chapter brought him to Victoria to be close to his daughter, Sheryl, for his final years and was very active with the family assisting with every move, with house building, landscaping, babysitting etc. He took up exploring every corner of Victoria and Sidney with a vengeance, hiking and bicycling, not to mention his agility at a fast game of nerf-gun with his great grandboys. In May 2012, while at the beach visiting with family and friends, Don had his hip broken when caught in the midst of a dog-walker’s pack of five. This changed Don’s ability to ‘enjoy’ his life and he was waiting for a hip replacement when he suffered another medical emergency requiring yet another surgery on Sep 17, 2013. He was unable to recover fully and after 3 long months in hospital, passed away peacefully in the company of much of his family, including his older brother, Austin. He was at peace and felt fortunate to be able to say goodbye. At Don’s request, there will be no formal service, however, we will be gathering in Salmon Arm on Sunday, August 3, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. to honour our dad, grandpa, pappy, great-papa, brother, uncle and friend by laying an engraved memorial brick on the McGuire Lake Memorial Walkway. We will get together afterward at one of Don and Ivy’s favorite haunts, Herald’s Park, for a day in the sun to celebrate his life, share some stories and remind each other of the importance of loving relationships until we meet again on ‘the other side’.

Tips for renovating a powder room T

he powder room, or “downstairs” washroom, gets a lot of use, both by members of your family as well as by guests. That is why some ingenious planning is required to make the most of this typically small space. You could keep the existing layout and just change the bathroom fittings, the lighting, and the floor covering, or you could enlarge it by encroaching on underused neighbouring space. In that case, be sure to include plumbing and electrical costs in your budget. It is a good idea to call in some professionals at this point, as safety and efficiency are paramount.

The wonderful world of grasses

andscaping specialists are unanimous in their opinion: ornamental grasses give yards a look of freedom and have an incomparable ability to play with natural light. Grasses bring a touch of lightness to landscapes with their gracious waving lines, and they contrast so wonderfully with other plants. They are also appreciated for the beauty of their flower heads and their overall look. There is no doubt that grasses are at their best in natural landscapes. However, they also lend themselves to many other types of settings. For example, you can plant them close to any colourful annuals as well as rose bushes. They will show each other off to advantage.

Grasses remain spectacular right through the winter as well, so don’t make the mistake of cutting them back in the fall. They’ll be one of the wonders of your winter landscape, looking particularly splendid when covered in frost. So be sure to wait until the spring before pruning them. Grasses sold in pots at garden centres can be planted throughout the summer season. Don’t forget to respect spacing requirements, as some varieties need a lot of room. Most species like to be divided every three or four years and are much more vigorous as a result. Ornamental grasses are generally easy to grow. Most species prefer full sun and adapt to nearly all types of soil; very few species are shade tolerant.

The big challenge is to create an airy look while providing storage space. If your powder room is too narrow to accommodate a vanity unit, then a pedestal or wall-mounted basin could be the answer. A feeling of volume can be given by doubling the walls to include built-in elements or to create a recess that can be used as a shelf. Opt for low furnishings, as higher ones will give the room a crowded look. To maintain an illusion of spaciousness, avoid overcrowding. If you want to lay some tiles, opt for large dimensions and don’t forget to buy a few extra in case of breakage. Tastes and colours are always a very personal matter. That said, it is usually preferable to stick with pale colours in cool tones rather than warm, darker ones, which tend to make a room look smaller. At the very least, plan to keep the ceiling white. Lastly, choose accessories that have a dual function, such as heated towel rails or a mirror with integrated lighting.

Landscaping

ver the past few years, heat waves seem to be occurring more and more frequently in some areas. The suitability of many plants is being severely tested because of these changing weather patterns. When they are just barely surviving, they no longer add to the beauty of a backyard. If they are not drought-brown, then their foliage is sparse and unattractive. That is because in hot, dry conditions, plant leaves grow much more slowly, or even stop growing completely, and very few flowers develop. Many gardeners become discouraged when they have to contend with chaotic weather conditions at different times of the year. Fortunately, however, garden centres are

adapting their stock to the new weather patterns and are able to suggest plants that require very little water. To create sustainable flower beds, choose plants that are more resistant to long, hot, sunny days, wind, and drought. But don’t forget: no plant can grow without water! To help you become a savvy gardener, here are a few suggestions for plants that can tolerate drought conditions. • Annuals: begonias, gaura, lantana, geranium (Pelargonium), and purpletop verbena (Verbena bonariensis). • Perennials: yarrow, coreopsis, iris, lavender, Russian sage (Perovskia), cinquefoil, scabiosa, hens and chicks (Sempervivum),

and yucca. • Grasses: fescue (Festuca), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), and blue oat grass (Helictotrichon sempervirens). • Shrubs: Red barberry (Berberis thunbergii), buddleia (Buddleja davidii), euonymus, physocarpus, Japanese rose (Rosa rugosa), spirea, and weigela. • Trees: Amur maple (Acer ginnala), serviceberry, red oak (Quercus rubra), and Japanese tree lilac (Syringa reticulata). • Evergreens: juniper, Russian arborvitae (Microbiota decussata), Colorado spruce (Picea pungens), and pine (Pinus).

Decorating

ecorating an open area in the home isn’t always easy. In fact, harmonizing the different zones can be quite a challenge. Here are a few tips to get you started.

Create zones Decide how you want to use your open area and create activity zones by grouping furniture according to its use. Define the zones by creating visual separations with elements such as rugs, plants, a table, or a sofa. Decorative elements, such as woodwork or mouldings, can also help define a space. Decide on a colour scheme Colour is an important element in any open area, as it unifies disparate elements to form a whole. Create a sense of harmony by using different tones of one colour. It goes without saying that this co-

Choose your style First of all, choose a style that will be used throughout this open area. Do you prefer a contemporary, traditional, or country look? If you decide to create an eclectic look by using a mix of styles, you might be setting yourself up for a complicated task; a blend of styles has to be carefully thought out and executed with caution, or the space will end up looking like a mishmash of disparate objects.

High Efficiency Furnaces

lour has to blend well with the furniture and the flooring. Use one type of floor covering The flooring has to be chosen with care when decorating an open area. Ideally, only one type of covering should be used — wood is always an excellent choice. At floor level, area rugs can be used to define or separate the different zones.
