Men charged in Blind Bay murder

Shooting: RCMP announce arrests for the 2011 homicide of Nicholas Larsen. By Kathy Michaels black press

Some of the mystery lingering over a 2011 gangland-style killing in Blind Bay was lifted at a Kelowna press conference Monday morning, where Mounties announced a significant break in the case. Williams Lake resident Jeremy Wayne Davis, 24, and Mission resident Jordan Larry Barnes, 27, were arrested last week and each face a charge of second-degree murder for

the death of Sorrento man, Nicholas Cole Larsen. “The Southeast District Major Crime Unit led the investigation which determined that Larsen, 24, was shot while travelling in a friend’s vehicle in what appeared to be a targeted attack,” said Insp. Terry Kohlhauser, RCMP Southeast District senior investigating officer, at the Kelowna press conference. In the investigation into who killed Larsen and what their motivation may have been, it was revealed

Crime linked to verbal dispute

Fire claims vacant structure in Ranchero By Tracy Hughes

Market News staff

Fire crews were called out Friday, June 13 to fight a fully engulfed residential structure fire in the area of the Friesen Business Complex on the Mellor’s Frontage Road, but the structure was a total loss. The fire call-out took place at approximately 8:42 p.m. and crews worked until just after midnight. “The 911 calls came from people on the highway. The fire

went up very rapidly and was fully involved when fire crews from the Ranchero Firehall arrived,” said Kenn Mount, CSRD fire services co-ordinator. Approximately 20 firefighters from the Ranchero Firehall responded and the Salmon Arm Fire Department assisted by supplying one water tender truck to supplement the water capabilities of the area. The structure was a complex of rental units, made up of some older mobile trailer units

friend’s property. Kohlhauser said one of the two men arrested this week was an acquaintance of Larsen, but didn’t identify which one. He also wouldn’t go into the nature of the argument between the parties involved. He did say the crime was not gang-related, despite appearances otherwise. Rumours that the crime was motivated by the drug trade were also not addressed. Although the arrest can’t dull the pain of losing their son, Shelley and Bo Larsen said news of the arrest brought them feelings of “peace and elation” for the first time in three years. It did not, however, bring forgiveness for those accused. “The reckless, calculated decision to murder Nick over

said in 2011. Bo said his son loved animals and the outdoors, but his first priority was his family. He had a special fondness for his young nieces, liking to spoil them with presents and outings. “He was loved by all. His humour and personality were next to none. I’ve never known him to go out and harm someone. I don’t care who you talk to, they’ll tell you the same thing.” Davis, who was arrested in Williams Lake, was scheduled to made his first court appearance on Monday in a Kamloops courtroom. He was held in custody with another appearance scheduled for Thursday. Barnes, who was arrested in Kelowna the day after Davis was apprehended, was also scheduled to answer to the charges on Monday. He was also held to make another appearance Thursday.

something as trivial as a verbal confrontation has forever changed the lives of so many innocent people,” said Shelley, to her son’s alleged killers. “We believe you are exactly where you deserve to be.” Bo offered thanks to the investigative team that made the arrests, as well as the community who supported the family as they dealt with their loss. “This has been a long, long journey, and I’ve seen the pain in my family’s eyes and felt it in their hearts,” said Bo. He previously described his son to the Salmon Arm Observer as a “big guy, with a big heart.” “He was a very sensitive guy, very sensitive and trusting. So much so that you’d have to talk to him, tell him that not everyone’s the same, that people can take advantage. Everyone else always came first with him,” he

n School District #83 teachers staged a protest on Shuswap Street outside the school district administration offices on Monday. The following day, a full-scale strike began and it appears unlikely that school will resume before the regularly scheduled end of the school year.

Teachers’ strike continues By Chelsea Grainger

market news staff

The ongoing job action by teachers, which is now a fullscale strike, continues to make waves across School District #83. The full-scale strike began on Tuesday, with teachers seeking smaller class sizes, more classroom support and a pay raise. Although classes are currently cancelled, School District #83 is-

sued a statement that graduation ceremonies and provincial exams will go ahead as planned; however, report cards will not be issued as they have not been declared an essential service. Graduating students at Salmon Arm Secondary are still concerned about missing the last few weeks of their high school years. Jamie Oosterhuis, who is also graduating

from SAS, said she and her peers are upset. “We think that the teachers deserve the best, but them walking out on us during the most crucial time of the year really compromises not only our learning, but our final grades as well,” said Oosterhuis. “I personally feel that the government, along with the teachers, could find a better way to resolve their

issues than creating more problems for the students.” Grade 12 student Ariana Sholinder says she has mixed feelings about the dispute, and where it has left graduating students. “I do support the teachers, but it’s been really hard to have so much uncertainty in the last couple weeks of my high school career,” said Sholinder. “It’s demoralizing.”

For Grade 12 students only:

• Grade 12 exams will be marked in July and the official transcript of grades will be provided to students by the end of July. For grades 10 and 11 students only: • Report cards are not deemed an essential service and parents should not expect the usual year-end reporting. • School districts will determine how to best convey relevant

information about students’ progress, available class marks, and provincial exam results. • Expect delays in receiving information about final course grades. • It is expected that grade 10 and 11 provincial exams will be marked by school administrators and the deadline for marking has been extended from June 26 to July 2.

Now is the time to make a deal

They say the key to good comedy is timing. The same could be said of labour action. The BC teachers strike, which began in full Tuesday, is an example of questionable timing. It appears to be a gamble that may not pay off. The strike is taking place at a time when students are normally preparing for final exams. This is a time when some children have the most need of a teacher’s help. Classes designed around reviewing the year’s curriculum will be lost and while the government has assured that exams will go on, you have to wonder if the students are properly prepared to take those tests. If the teachers were hoping that a mid-June strike would provide the needed pressure to bring a quick end to the dispute, they appear to be mistaken. On Monday, talks collapsed between the two parties and the strike is on. Now comes the waiting game. With negotiations stalled and the school year winding down, the pressure to sign a new deal will soon evaporate. If the strike continues into July, why would either side feel the need to make concessions? What will result is two long months of speeches, sabre-rattling and rhetoric as both sides claim to be fighting for a just cause. Worse is the fact that parents, and the general public, will begin to lose interest as normal summer vacation activities begin. With no pressure to make a deal, the strike could linger. Then comes September. There is no justifiable reason to let this strike continue into another school year. The time to make the deal is now, otherwise both sides can expect a long summer and possibly, a volatile autumn. Black Press

OPINION

Kids’ fishing derby a true community effort The 18th Annual Salmon Arm Kids’ Fishing Derby, hosted by Shuswap Recreation Society, took place under cold, cloudy skies this past Sunday morning, June 15, at the end of the wharf at Marine Park. In spite of the weather, more than 500 people showed up to take part in what has become one of the most popular events in the Shuswap. From six o’clock on there was a steady stream of anglers and parents making their way to the end of the wharf. Each year the derby is held in conjunction with the province’s Family Fishing Weekend program and attracts hundreds of participants, as well as parents, grandparents and people who just come down to watch and cheer on the kids. As in past, it did not take very long for the first fish to be caught. Anthony Materi received First Fish honours along with a plaque, a $100 education certificate from CUPE and a fishing outfit. Materi also caught the second largest number of fish, but chose to relinquish that prize so that another child

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray could win. Materi is a true sportsman – and one heck of an angler. Cadence Tulak made a total of 11 trips to the weigh-in station to secure first place in the Most Fish category. She received the Westside Stores Most Fish Trophy, as well as a rod and reel outfit, a $100 education certificate from Rotary and a $100 gift certificate from Westside Stores. Cameron Bouchard placed second and Charleigh Lemay third. Both received rod and reel outfits and all three received plaques. Jayda Kopel won in the Largest Fish category and will have her name inscribed on the William J. Murray Memorial Trophy.

She also received a glass “keeper” trophy, a rod and reel outfit, a $200 SASCU scholarship and will be taking her whole family on an all-expenses-paid fishing trip to Beaver Lake Lodge. Evan Hollatz placed second and received a rod and reel outfit as well as a $100 Rotary scholarship. Alex Smolne placed third and received a rod and reel outfit and the Crook Family scholarship. Both also received plaques. Emily Alcott and Levi Alyward won in the Hidden Weight category sponsored by Canadian Tire and both received new mountain bikes and helmets. Patrice LeBlanc received $500 in groceries for the Parent Appreciation prize. As one of the organizers of the Kids’ Fishing Derby, it certainly gives me a tremendous sense of satisfaction when I see former participants like Aly Vann and Jordan Hofer coming back year after year to volunteer and help with the derby. They are mentors for the younger kids and pretty darned good role models. This year, 238 young an-

glers registered for the derby, with 52 kids catching a total of 148 coarse fish. Close to $5,000 in scholarships and prizes were handed out. The derby has become a community event in the truest sense. It would never happen if it were not for all the members of the community who give back in so many ways. People like the Crook family who each year donate a scholarship in memory of Jerry Crook; service clubs such as Rotary and the Elks Lodge, who not only help support the derby financially, but also volunteer of their time. Then there are all the volunteers who get up at five o’clock to help out with the registration, including Mayor Nancy Cooper. The derby could not take place without the support of Donna Flatman from the Shuswap Recreation Society, and the six lifeguards who keep an eye on all the young participants. I can’t say enough about the people who help out with the derby, but I want them to know that I am grateful to them.

Feds support Enbridge project

By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

The federal Conservative government has approved Enbridge’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline project, despite widespread opposition in B.C. that includes the provincial government, First Nations, environmental organizations and residents of the intended oil tanker port of Kitimat. Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford signalled the government’s approval in a low-key statement Tuesday that endorsed

the 209 conditions imposed by a federal review. Rickford noted that the proponent still needs to consult with aboriginal communities and secure provincial permits. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has emphasized it is in the national interest to open a new pipeline route to the Pacific Ocean to carry Alberta oil sands bitumen and break the Canadian oil industry’s dependence on U.S. markets. But a continuing battle over the pipeline plan is expected in the courts, and potentially

on the land, where civil disobedience has already been threatened. Opposition demands to reject the project dominated question period in the House of Commons Tuesday. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair called the review panel process “a sham,” and SkeenaBulkley Valley NDP MP Nathan Cullen warned that opposition in B.C. may upset plans to develop liquefied natural gas exports in the province. The project doesn’t yet meet Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new

heavy oil pipelines, which include world leading marine and land spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of benefits for B.C. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the decision means the project meets the first of five conditions required by the province, a successful federal review. “We recognize the benefits that the Northern Gateway project may bring, but they will not be at the expense of our environment,” Polak said.

Sunwest Tours Ltd. 153 Pinto Rd., Kelowna www.sunwesttours.com

The decision by the Harper cabinet follows last December’s ruling by a federal review panel that the $6.8-billion project should proceed, subject to 209 conditions. That followed Enbridge’s earlier pledges to improve the project’s safety with thicker steel and other measures along the 1,177-kilometre route. The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the oil sands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act as a thinning agent east to Alberta.

Opponents gear up to battle northern oil pipeline By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

From Kitimat to Victoria, opponents are preparing to fight the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, after it was given federal approval Tuesday. A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel. Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior. Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, whose community is at the end of Douglas Channel

n Aboriginal concerns have been a key part of protests against the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal. and who is involved in a natural gas export project, said it is too late for more consultations. “Every mistake they’ve made we actually pointed out to them and said, ‘this is not following our case law principles, you’re making a mistake,’” Ross said Tuesday. “But they went ahead and did it. It is going to be court.” Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will

continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route. Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her council has made its opposition clear, after an April community vote that came down opposed to the project. “I think most of the councillors are of the opinion that they really B.C.S.P.C.A. (Shuswap)

don’t want to see bitumen going down the channel,” Monaghan said. “They would rather have it refined and have a product that’s refined going down the channel.” B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs in B.C., particularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim, saying the province gave a clear “no” in its final submission to the federal review panel. Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil producers continue to see if B.C.’s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a “fair

Plans underway for upgrade to picnic shelter Blackburn Park will be getting another new upgrade in the next few years. The Rotary Club of Salmon Arm presented council with a $50,000 donation, that will be

going towards a brand new picnic shelter at the park. “It’s been used and is used a whole lot by citizens in Salmon Arm,” said Doug Murray current Rotary Club

president of the existing picnic shelter. “I know how much we need to improve that facility.” All members of council were in favour of the donation. Coun. Alan Harrison

said he appreciates what the Rotary does for the Salmon Arm area, and he thinks the picnic shelter is a needed addition. Coun. Marg Kentel agreed that the project

was a good idea. “It’s a great way to help the community,” she said. Although the project has been approved, preparations won’t begin until September.

Protecting the natural heritage

From the hill Colin Mayes Nature is a fundamental part of the Canadian identity and many citizens, like me, are passionate about spending time outdoors, doing activities such as fishing, hiking and canoeing. Since 2006, your government has taken significant action to protect our natural areas. Our country is a world leader in conservation and as govern-

ment we are committed to protecting this rich natural heritage. That is why, on May 15 of this year, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Minister Leona Aglukkaq launched the National Conservation Plan (NCP), and $252 million in new conservation initiatives to secure and protect Canada’s natural heritage for Canadians now and in the future. The NCP will include significant additional investments over five years for securing ecologically sensitive lands, supporting voluntary conservation and restoration actions, and strengthening marine and coastal conservation. In addition, it will contain new initiatives designed to re-

store wetlands and to encourage Canadians to connect with nature close to home through protected areas and green spaces located in or near urban areas. The plan will expand opportunities for partners, including municipalities, environmental interest groups, hunters and anglers, landowners and community groups, to take practical actions to safeguard the land and water around them. The NCP complements the proposed 2020 Biodiversity Goals and Targets for Canada, which were developed together with our conservation partners, as part of our participation in the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity.

A number of specific outcomes are expected from the NCP, including significant progress on terrestrial and marine conservation, the improvement or restoration of additional land, wetlands and shoreline, increased opportunities for Canadians to experience nature, and access to improved information to support conservation efforts. With the NCP, we are building a stronger Canada, a country that cares about conserving its natural heritage and a country where we can all enjoy the beauty of nature from coast to coast to coast. -Colin Mayes is the Member of Parliament for the OkanaganShuswap riding.

Pair seek Conservative nomination Two more people have joined the race for the Conservative Party of Canada candidacy for the Okanagan Shuswap riding in anticipation of the 2015 election. Scott Anderson of Vernon and Janet Green of Lumby announced their intentions last month, joining Salmon Arm businessperson Mel Arnold in the race to replace Colin Mayes, who will retire as MP

once his term is over. Anderson is a longtime Okanagan resident, business owner, and commissioned officer in the Canadian Forces Reserves. He owns a corporate communications business and is a lifelong conservative with experience in politics at all three levels of government. “It’s crucial that the candidate who is ultimately chosen be a true

conservative with the credentials to prove it, and not simply someone looking for a job.” Green moved to Lumby in 2005 after 35 years in administrative positions with Vancouver General Hospital and the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority. She has been active with both the federal and provincial Conservative parties and served a term on

Family supports crusade for rare condition By Chelsea Grainger

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A local family has stepped forward and helped a travelling group of men with a cause that is close to their hearts. Bruno and Sharon Geiger have funded a meal and a stay in Salmon Arm for Kevin Dube, founder of Avery’s ride for PKU, his father Jim Dube, and friend Svend Paulsen. The trio, who are all from Ontario, have begun a bike ride across Canada to raise funds and awareness for the genetic disorder Phenylketonuria, also known as PKU. Coming from Victoria, they stopped in Salmon Arm on June 11, met with the Geigers before heading out to their final destination – St. Johns, Nfld. PKU is a rare, inherited metabolic disease that results in neurological problems if not treated right away. People diagnosed with PKU are missing an enzyme that helps them

break down a certain animo acid in their food. This results in a build-up of the amino acid in the blood, which crosses the blood-brain barrier and results in brain damage. Avery’s ride for PKU began when Kevin’s niece was born and diagnosed with PKU. Kevin said he wasn’t really sure what PKU was, and he discovered that he wasn’t alone. “I decided that something needed to be done, I started thinking of the bigger picture,” said Kevin. The Geigers share a similar story with Kevin, as they’re grandparents to a child with PKU. “We decided to step up and do something,” said Bruno. “We thought if we fed him (Dube) supper and helped him out, we could help him continue on to get awareness of PKU out to the rest of the country. We hope the little bit we do will go further.”

Like Kevin, the Geigers weren’t too sure what PKU was. “When we found out our grandson had PKU, we were devastated because we didn’t know what it was,” said Bruno. Kevin’s goal with Avery’s ride for PKU is to raise funds, gather support, and mostly, bring awareness to the government and public about what PKU is. His end goal is to raise $25,000, and he’s already reached $18,000. But for Kevin, it’s more than just the money. “Honestly, meeting people like the Geigers, and meeting people who are affected (with PKU) has been the best part,” said Kevin. Kevin also noted that the support he’s received throughout his trip has been great. “The support has been amazing, it’s such a small community of people affected compared to some other things,” said Kevin.

Rocking at Relay for Life

Students shine in apprenticeships Students of School District #83 have teamed up with employers and have managed to garner five per cent of all Secondary School Apprenticeship Scholarships in the province. The program is a partnership between the BC Ministry of Education and the Industry Training Authority and it allows students to get hands-on experience working in a field of their choice. Students in the program get the chance to earn while they learn by gaining school cred-

its for putting in real work in their desired field. “Kids are able to work with a registered tradesperson and get school credit,” said Mark Marino, district career supervisor and vice principal at A.L. Fortune Secondary in Enderby. “It’s to get them working and being exposed to certified tradespeople, its the first step of an apprenticeship.” The scholarships awarded were $1,000 each. Marino said that because School District

#83 only has one per cent of the school-aged population in B.C., there should have been only five scholarships handed out, but 25 scholarships were actually awarded. Marino says the fact that so many were awarded speaks to how great the employers in the community are. Shelden Croken, Jacob Fillion, Jordan Krause and Douglas Sperlich from A.L Fortune all were granted scholarships. Mikayla Kroeker and Jesse Ogston from Eagle River Secondary and

Sheridan Abel, Kendra Bell, Ashleigh Ringdal and Danielle Trottier from Pleasant Valley Secondary also worked their way through the program and received scholarships. SAS students who earned scholarships are Cole Brummitt, Thomas Hardy, Craig Johnson, Myles Johnson, Logan Jones, Marley Kuzek, Chantal Lanouette, Keith Minnis, Kean Peterson, Bradley Schneider, Riley Schweb, Brandon Shepherd, Spencer Siddall, Jeryn Sutherland and Brett Wolfe.

Shuswap-Revelstoke college dean earns PhD Among those crossing the stage at UBC’s Okanagan campus convocation was James Barmby, conferred a PhD in interdisciplinary studies. What the degree does not reveal is that Barmby is a highly distinguished educator him-

self, and dean of the Shuswap-Revelstoke region of Okanagan College. With his full-time role with Okanagan College, earning a doctorate and balancing family life, vacations were spent doing research while the de-

mands of having a fulltime career were kept in the forefront. “It was challenging and frustrating at times when I was researching a great many concepts and ideas, and not being sure how or if to use that material, and there were many times I

thought of bailing out,” says Barmby. But with Lynn Bosetti a supportive professor in the Faculty of Education, encouraging wife Moragh and an understanding employer, Barmby found the time and energy to complete his research and degree.

Family, friends rally for heart patient By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Shawn Cummings is a husband, father of four and sole proprietor of Raw Industries. The owner of the auto body shop located in the industrial park is also recovering form major heart surgery and unable to work. On a positive note, Cummings prognosis is excellent – if he takes the time to recover. But his family and friends worry that the 38-year-old will return to work too soon, possibly with serious repercussions.

Cummings had a cyst growing on his thymus, which was pushing on a lung and his heart, which literally caused a heart attack. Released from hospital on Monday, Cummings has been told recovery will be about eight weeks. But as a business owner, he does not qualify for employment insurance and has no other funding source to fall back on. Enter family friend Jodie Pruden, who has begun a double-sided fundraising campaign on behalf of the Cum-

mings family. In one online campaign, donors may visit YouCaring.com, a free online fundraising site. Pruden says she chose the YouCaring site because she heard about it from a friend in Alberta and discovered there are options to share through social media. Donations are made securely through PayPal or WePay. “Shawn has been there, giving generously of his time, expertise and money to his friends and neighbours throughout his whole life,” posted Pruden

on the website. “This is our chance to give back.” The goal is to raise $5,000, and for those who don’t want to donate online, Pruden is donating the proceeds from flower sales. “I sell fresh-cut flowers from my house and all the proceeds from the next eight weeks will go to Shawn and his family.” See more at youcaring.com/ help-a-neighbor/ pay-it-forward-support-for-shawnc u m m i n g s /190991#sthash. uXX8iz5z.dpuf.

Heat stroke versus heat illness: what’s the difference? (NC) Heat stroke is the most serious heatrelated illness. Signs include a 40ºC/104ºF temperature, partial or total loss of consciousness, confusion and little or no sweating. Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Call 911 or your local emergency number if this occurs. Heat illness is caused

by excessive loss of water and salt. Symptoms may include

heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache, diarrhea

and muscle cramps. Whether indoors or outside, heat illness can also cause cramps, fainting, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash or swelling in the hands and feet. While extreme heat can put everyone at risk, health risks are greatest for seniors, infants, young children, people with chronic

illness and people who work or exercise in the heat. Health Canada has posted tips for all Canadians to prevent and treat heat illnesses at www.healthycanadians.gc.ca/sun. The same information can also be ordered free of charge at 1-800-OCanada. www.newscanada.com

• Avoid standing water. Mosquitoes are often attracted to water, especially standing water, so when on summer outings avoid lakes, stagnant creeks, bogs, marshes, and swamps. • Avoid getting too hot. Mosquitoes are thought to be attracted to warm bodies so staying cool is one way to avoid bites. Avoid excessive exercise at dusk to help keep the bites at bay. • Use an insect repellent to reduce bites when spending time outdoors in mosquito-infested areas. www.newscanada.com

Cauliflower catching on Living WeLL I love this time of year. With summer fast approaching, the selection of fresh produce at the farmer’s market is increasing each week. I truly look forward to Saturday mornings; strolling the farmer’s market with my husband and son, coming home with an armload of ‘goodies’ that were freshly pulled from the earth. It was a recent trip to the farmer’s market that inspired me to dedicate an article to cauliflower. Despite its bland colour, cauliflower does not disappoint when it comes to nutrition. It is a great source of vitamin C, which has an important role in our immune system. It is also a good source of folate, a vitamin that is essential for making new cells and is necessary before and during pregnancy. As well, it is a good source of fibre and antioxidants and is low in fat and calories. It is also extremely versatile and has become popular in many dishes. I have seen cauliflower as the star ingredient in all kinds of recipes, even hummus and pizza crust. My favourite way to eat it is oven roasted along with other veggies such as potatoes, yams, carrots and/or onions. Toss the veggies in olive oil and sprinkle with your choice of seasoning (I like curry powder, fresh garlic and a sprinkle of sea salt). Roasted cauliflower can also be served on its own as a side dish, added to pasta dishes or pureed into soups. Looking to lighten things up? Try cauliflower as a substitute for potatoes. Cauliflower puree makes a surprisingly good, lower calorie alternative to mashed potatoes. Or replace potatoes with steamed cauliflower in your favourite potato salad recipe. Interested in trying a new spin on an old favourite? Try this cauliflower puree that some call ‘mock mashed potatoes.’

n Natural beauty is something the Shuswap has in abundance, but what else is out there? And what could be improved? Those are some of the key issues for the Shuswap Community Foundation’s Vital Signs Report, which is looking for citizen input.

Refreshing...

Help take the pulse of the Shuswap By Barb Brouwer

MARKet NeWS StAFF

“A lot of issues are hidden – homelessness with young people, not necessarily on the street because they’re couch surfing.” - Karen Angove

Angove says the process has been a real (and not always pleasant) eye-opener. “A lot of issues are hidden – homelessness with young people, not necessarily on the street because they’re couch surfing,” she says. “We had a community meeting with the safe house and they

told us that spousal abuse, elder abuse and child abuse are up, and that rapes increase in the summer.” Angove maintains a community that is aware of its strengths and weaknesses can become a stronger, healthier place. Three questions to keep in mind as you respond to the survey are: 1. When you picture a healthy, connected community, what stands out? 2. What is our community doing well? What is working? What do you love about our community? 3. Where are the opportunities for improvement? Not only is the survey expected to yield detailed statistical data, the subsequent report will provide a subjective sense of the Shuswap’s vitality as it relates to 10 key issue areas. This is not a test of knowledge, only a way for the foundation to measure people’s opinions and perceptions and see how they line

Beautiful scenery, temperate climate, sweet Shuswap home. What else is there to celebrate? What could be better? What is missing? The Shuswap Community Foundation is seeking public input for a Vital Signs Report. The foundation has gathered information from various sources including community businesses in the Shuswap and government statistical reports. Residents are now invited to grade the area on such key issues as the environment, the gap between rich and poor, ease of mobility and more in a short survey available online at www.shuswapfoundation.ca. “The survey is meant to be the opinions of the general public as to how we’re doing on various issues in this community,” says foundation vice-president Karen Angove, who notes residents of Salmon Arm, Si-

camous and Electoral areas C South Shuswap, D Silver Creek/ Ranchero, E Rural Sicamous and F North Shuswap are encouraged to have their say. She calls the survey a starting point, a way to discover what problems exist in the Shuswap and how the foundation might be able to fund projects related to areas in need.

What’s On in Chase

RICK KOCH PHOTO

n Residents in the west end of Chase have been complaining about the terrible smell emanating from the sewage lagoons, which has meant nearby residents have had to keep windows shut.

Nasty odour persists

Sewage lagoon: Smell worse, lasts longer this year. By Chelsea Grainger

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The west end of Chase has recently been engulfed in an unfortunate smell. The smell is stemming from one of the village’s sewer lagoons. Joni Heinrich, chief administrative officer for the Village of Chase, said that generally every spring the lagoons produce some odour as bacteria comes back to life to do its job of eating materials in the lagoon. “This year the odour has been going on a bit longer than in past years, and is a bit stronger depending on where one

lives in relation to the lagoon,” said Heinrich. She said the smell generally lasts for a couple of weeks, but this year it’s been on and off for over four weeks. Chase’s public works staff have been working to add an enzymatic product into the lagoon, in order to increase the amount of oxygen and increase the bacteria content, which will speed up the breakdown process and decrease the smell. “The use of the enzymatic product as well as getting more oxygen into the lagoons does speed up the eating of the materials and does lessen

the amount of odour for sure,” said Heinrich. Crews who work on the lagoons are also no stranger to finding things that have gone into the system that shouldn’t have, such as rags, kid’s toys and sheets. Heinrich said, although an effective sewer treatment system, the sewer lagoons will need upgrades in the near future as they have been in place for over 20 years – upgrades would help lessen the smell. Chase council has been considering upgrades and village staff have begun looking into grants to cover the cost, which will be near $1 million.

‘Young war criminal’ defends action in Iraq GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Whatever else you may say about the “young war criminal” (as British journalist Alan Watkins used to call former prime minister Tony Blair), he certainly fights his corner with great determination. He is condemned to spend his life defending his part in the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and last weekend he was at it again. In a 3,000-word essay on his website, Tony Blair wrote about last week’s conquest of almost half Iraq’s territory by the fanatical fighters of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria): “We have

to liberate ourselves from the notion that ‘we’ have caused this. We haven’t.” What he really meant by “we”, of course, was “I”. And he would say that, wouldn’t he? But at least give Blair credit for producing an interesting argument. “As for how these (recent) events reflect on the original decision to remove Saddam,” he wrote, “...(the argument) is that but for the invasion of 2003, Iraq would be a stable country today....” “Consider the post 2011 Arab uprisings. Put into the equation the counter-factual – that Saddam and his two sons would be running Iraq in 2011 when the uprisings began. Is it seriously being said that the revolution sweeping the Arab world would have hit Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria...but miraculously Iraq, under the most brutal and tyrannical of

all the regimes, would have been an oasis of calm?” “So it is a bizarre reading of the cauldron that is the Middle East today, to claim that but for the removal of Saddam, we would not have a crisis.” Blair is employing one of his favourite techniques: winning an argument with a straw man. Nobody is actually saying that if the United States, Britain and some hangers-on had not illegally invaded Iraq in 2003, the country would be an “oasis of calm” today. Of course the “Arab Spring” would have come to Iraq too, and of course there would be huge turmoil in the country today. If Saddam Hussein had managed to hang on to power in the face of a democratic uprising in 2011 that was initially non-violent, Iraq today might be in a civil war somewhat

like that in Syria. And if his dictatorship had been overthrown in 2011, whatever new government emerged in Iraq would certainly be contending with acute ethnic and sectarian rivalries today. But the living standards, infrastructure, and health and educational services of a quite developed country would not have been massively degraded by a decade of invasion, foreign occupation and popular resistance. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who were killed in these events would still be alive (although Saddam’s secret police would have murdered the usual thousand or so each year). And above all there would be no ISIS, nor anything like it. There were no terrorists in Iraq in 2003. There were people with radical Islamist ideas, but they kept quiet

Get to the top

for fear of Saddam’s torturers and there weren’t very many of them. And there were no “weapons of mass destruction” either. It was an exceptionally dumb war, to borrow Barack Obama’s famous phrase, and it began the destruction of Iraq. It is the deep sectarian divisions in Iraq’s Arabic-speaking population (the Kurds are a separate issue) that are now completing that process of destruction. However, as with the distinctions between Catholics, Orthodox Christians and Muslims in old Yugoslavia before the break-up and the Balkan wars of the 1990s, most Sunnis and Shias in Iraq before 2003 lived side by side with a fairly low degree of friction. It was the fight against foreign occupation after 2003 that radicalized people in Iraq and drove so many of them back

into narrow sectarian identities. “Al-Qaeda in Iraq,” the original name for what now calls itself ISIS, was born in that struggle, and Tony Blair and George W. Bush were its midwives. It’s striking that AlQaeda in Iraq’s main target during the occupation was to kill large numbers of Shias rather than lots of Americans. Its strategy was to provoke a sectarian war in which Iraqi Sunnis would be losing at first – but then their plight would trigger intervention by Sunni states in the region and lead to a general Sunni-Shia war. It was a convoluted, nasty and deeply unrealistic strategy, but it made sense in terms of their radical Islamist ideology. If there had been no invasion, and Saddam Hussein had been overthrown by a popular revolution only three years ago, there would certainly be great ten-

sion in a newly democratic Iraq now. Sunni Arabs would be having trouble coming to terms with their minority status (which most were unaware of under Saddam). Shias would be tempted to exploit their majority status unfairly. Kurds would be pushing for more autonomy. But they would be doing so in an atmosphere that had not been contaminated by a decade of sectarian hatred and savagery. There would be no organizations like ISIS dedicated to waging a sectarian war. And even if Saddam Hussein had not been overthrown and Iraq was caught up in a civil war like Syria’s, it would have a far less sectarian character. As would Syria’s, for that matter. -Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Weathering the watering woes GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

“When the well is dry, we’ll know the worth of water.” -Benjamin Franklin In Des Kennedy’s funny book called Crazy About Gardening, his chapter on water begins like this: “A garden, chuckles the old joke, is a thing that dies if you don’t water it and rots if you do.” Gardeners are an aquatic species, immersed in water, masters of sprinkling and spraying, mistresses of misting, splashing, soaking and saturating. As water seeks always its own level, the gardener seeks repeatedly to come to equilibrium with this transient element. Water gadgets abound. The garden shed is impassable with hose pipes and oscillating sprinklers, water wands, soaker hoses and sprayers, atomizers, misters and other claptrap. You spot the real zealots out there in the monsoons of March, squeezing soggy handfuls of soil to test if it’s dry enough yet for planting. Or standing in the desiccated debris

of late summer, moaning like the prophet Ezekiel watering the scorched earth with his tears. And speaking of Ezekiel – in the book of Genesis, it says that the sign of a rainbow is God’s promise not to flood the earth again, so with all this wet stuff coming down day after day and watching the lakes rise to possible flood levels again, let’s hope that we do indeed see a rainbow soon! The rain can be a pain, and set us back on getting out in the garden and keeping up with the lawn, let alone those businesses that rely on good weather to keep their income flowing. It doesn’t help matters when the rain makes the weeds and grass grow as if on a steady dose of Red Bull. However, it has to really be pouring for me not to go out there and muck around, because I’ll just throw on my waterproof gear or just putz away seeding and weeding under a big, portable shade umbrella (which is also great for hot sunny days too). After all, I’m an old coastal kid and we were raised to boldly go out in it no matter what we were going to do! Rain is however, an important part our natural spring cycle of weather that our soils and plants depend on for a good start for growing, and we should always be thankful for it. Just ask the Californians. The rains that come

aren’t always fun, but I’ll take them any day over trying to water my gardens. Our hillside property consists of a whole bunch of narrow, terraced gardens that are hard and sometimes impossible to reach and water properly. If I do attempt to give my plants a drink, the hoses never fail to get tangled up and the sprinklers never seem to sprinkle where I want them too. I’d rather be doing other things besides cussing and fretting about thirsty plants, so I rely on three strategies to get me through the dry season without feeling like I want to pack in this lifestyle I’ve cornered myself into, and live in an RV lot and just kick back and read about gardening instead! My first trick of the gardening trade is to have soils rich in humus, the dark organic material in soils produced by the decomposition of the litter layer (or our compost and mulch). It is essential to the fertility of the earth. It’s also a great natural sponge that holds a considerable amount of moisture that our plants depend on during dry times. If you don’t have much of it in your soils, then make or buy some and add as much as you can, especially if your soils tend to be sandy. My second is to mulch, mulch, mulch! This simple task traps that moisture and

provides the grub to keep the microbes and worms in the soil food web fed so they can keep making more of that great stuff in my garden beds. A good carbon/nitrogen blend of mulch will also – and I’ll keep on saying this – provide a great, slow-release fertilizer and a protective cover from the rains and heat. First make sure the soil is moist well down into the garden beds (you may have to water to make sure), and check throughout the summer if it’s dried out underneath it if we have a long dry spell. And lastly, I grow plants and flowers that can easily cope through the dry times and only need watering if they get seriously parched. My veggie and fruit beds are close to water sources. They need a little more tending to, but otherwise I’m pretty well watering-free. To boot, my meter is rarely running and I don’t need to use microbe-killing chlorinated municipal water on my soils and plants. Summers should be about spending time at your favorite water hole, not dealing with your watering woes, so try these simple water management techniques when the rains finally stop and the rainbow gives us the sign that the heat of the summer sun is just around the corner!

Phyllis’ Garden This garden has a spot for everyone whether it is relaxing on the deck, enjoying a meal or reading a book. If you feel like you want to get away you just need to move to a different area in the yard. Sitting in the shade of one of the many trees, listening to the birds chirp, the hummingbirds battle for food or relax by the soothing sounds of one of the many water features. Tucked in many of the flowerbeds are a variety of treasures from years gone by. Bird houses, an old mower, statues and so much more. On the deck of the potter’s shed is another inviting place to sit and oversee the yard. Everywhere you look your eyes are filled with a whole new setting. If you move too fast you will miss the whole ambience. You can tell that someone who loves to garden lives here. Thanks Phyllis for sharing your garden with us.

Tell us about your garden! If you are interested in showing off your garden in this feature please email photos or videos and tell us a little about your garden.

Benefits of shopping locally

Shopping locally is a great way to benefit your community and, in many instances, your bottom line. When consumers shop locally, they help stimulate their local economies, creating jobs for their neighbors by helping local businesses grow and thrive. Shopping locally also saves shoppers long trips out of town that can waste expensive fuel, especially if consumers don’t find what they’re looking for.

Local merchants tend to have more unique merchandise. and they aren’t mass-producing their items. Chances are the items sold by local merchants are one-of-akind. Such items make for more unique gifts. Consumers who buy products from merchants within their community won’t have to travel far to do their shopping, nor will they need to gas up the car if the item needs to be returned or exchanged.

One of the easiest ways to be an eco-friendly consumer is to support local businesses, which tend to benefit the environment in a variety of ways.

Buying local has many benefits. But while consumers may know that buying local helps grow the local economy by supporting local business owners and creating jobs, they may not realize the positive impact that buying local can have on the environment as well.

Shopping locally can protect local wildlife. Many people prefer to buy locally grown foods because they feel such foods are more fresh and buying locally grown foods reduces fuel consumption. Those things are true, but buying locally grown foods also can help protect local wildlife. When local farms can afford to stay in operation, local farmers are far less likely to sell their lands to developers. That can help protect the habitats of local wildlife.

JIKKE (JEAN) SIEBENGA March 27, 1923 - June 11, 2014 A time of faith. Jean, born and raised in Holland started life with a praying mother, who although dying shortly after childbirth, prayed for her infant daughter’s protection in life ……. and God listened. Struggling through the war and wanting a new life and adventure, Jean and her husband Bill (Wietze) came to Canada in 1951, worked hard, bought and sold farms and raised two boys, Barry and David. God did not forget his word and in 1969, he intervened to awake Jean’s husband on June 9, 1969 who when saying “Lord speak, I am listening” heard back to say “In the name of Jesus go out” and that day all the anger, fear and weariness in their life and family left instantly. Since then miracles abounded and her life was full of love, adventure and joy again. In 1996, her Bill went home to visit Jesus and now Jean is catching up to reunite with him but also that oh so special mother of hers, who 3 days after Jean was born, prayed up a storm that carried though all of Jean’s life. Jean would say that “Through my whole life’s journey, through war, immigration and hard work, I always had a loving marriage, a true partner in life with my husband Wietze where we shared our home and business in a good way of life………….. but I tell you, that after the fullness of the Lord came in our life and home there was such a big change and I will be ever thankful to the Lord in life and eternity for the His miraculous salvation.” Every incident in life made me always know the Lord was real!!! What is there left to say, her family left on this shore now knows that our mother is on the most fantastic adventure of her life, enjoy the vigor’s of life fullness and love of the people who love her and Jesus, her saviour who loves her most of all!!!!!!! Left behind to celebrate her life are sons Barry (Cathy) and David (Shara), grandchildren Barry Ryan, Jason, Alisha, Devon, Aaron and seven wonderful great grandchildren. Also Maxine Dale, who mom called her other daughter and Barbara Demeter who was a close and faithful friend and visitor. Internment this Sunday, June 22 at Mt Ida Cemetery and Celebration of Jeans life at 3 PM at Five Corners Pentecostal Church with Pastor Ken Finstad officiating. Email condolences may be sent to Jean’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

PARASHYNIAK, PETER

Peter Parashyniak of Sicamous, BC was granted his wings on June 7, 2014 where he peacefully passed away at the Shuswap Lake Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 88 years. Pete was born on June 18, 1925 in Melville, Saskatchewan. Pete was enlisted in the Canadian Army on May 17, 1944 where he served as a Private and discharged on July 22, 1946. He started his career in the Mines as a Manager for Port Radium at Great Bear Lake, NWT. Just as Port Radium was closing Lupin was opening. Pete transferred over with a dear friend and colleague to start up the Echo Bay Mines as a Mill Superintendent till 1980. Pete loved fishing and would tell his stories of the fish he caught in Great Bear Lake. Pete retired from Echo Bay Mines in May 1991 after 20 years of dedicated service. Pete was drawn to Sicamous because of a wonderful opportunity to create his dream home by the Lake - which is what he did and showed it off with pride. Pete is survived by his loving and devoted companion of 11 years, his Bichon, Toby who misses him dearly, his Sister in Law, Edna; along with numerous family and friends. Pete is predeceased by his Mother, Father, 2 Brothers, and a Nephew. When Pete touched your heart he left an imprint on your soul! He will be missed by all who knew him. A big thank you to the staff at the Shuswap Lake Hospital along with Fischer’s Funeral Services. Email condolences and share memories through Peter’s obituary at fischersfuneralservices.com.

McMICHAEL, JANET March 31, 1934 – June 5, 2014 Janet Caroline McMichael passed away peacefully on June 5, 2014 at Shuswap Lake Regional Hospital in the company of family at the age of 80 years.
