Spectacle in Sicamous

LACHLAN LABERE/MARKET NEWS

n Hundreds of people gathered at the Beach Park in Sicamous to watch the Canada Day fireworks, which are launched off a barge in Shuswap Lake.

Shuswap Watershed Council officials are looking for public input this month. Seven open houses will be held throughout the Shuswap in a follow-up to an online survey that was held in February and March. Survey respondents were invited to read a Shuswap Watershed Council program outline and respond to a number of questions about the program’s proposed objectives and strategies. The online survey received 226 responses, with 76 per cent of respondents supporting a program focused on water quality and safe water‐based recreation. Another 19 per cent support the notion but don’t believe water quality and safe water‐based recreation merit a focused program. Support was also measured through a workshop focus group in which 60 people representing stewardship groups and resource/technical staff from First Nations and government agencies participated. The questions were more technical than those in the online survey, and sought specific feedback on the Shuswap Watershed Water Quality Program’s strategies. Participants supported using science and citizen science in decision-making. They also supported continued education and public engagement. “I think the results of this survey show that there is a high level of public support for the proposed programs for 2014,” says Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C director Paul Demenok and chair for the Shuswap Watershed Council. “I’m encouraged by these results as they provide a clear indication that we are headed in the right direction by focusing our efforts on water quality within the See Open on page 2

Open houses begin in Chase July 9 Continued from front entire Shuswap watershed.” The council is now seeking more public input and ideas through a series of open houses, each one to take place from 3:30 to 6 p.m. Participants will have the opportunity to review the accomplishments of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP), the three-year pilot project that ended this spring. Demenok says the informa-

tion will include the results of extensive water quality monitoring that took place, providing a clear picture of the state of Shuswap Lake. Staff from the Fraser Basin Council and members of the council will also review upcoming plans, before the floor is open to members of the public to offer their opinions and ideas and to ask questions.

n August of 2013, a young man, Shane Gorner, died in an industrial accident. He was a recent graduate of SAS and looking forward to his future. This amazing young man, so involved in theatre and with his church, will be forever missed. Brenda and Lorne Gorner, Shane’s parents, wanted to honor the short life of their son so they established the Shane Gorner Memorial Endowment Fund with the Shuswap Community Foundation. When the Fund reaches the benchmark of $10,000, it will provide for a bursary to a Grade 12 student attending SAS; notably a student in the Arts pursuing post-secondary studies and in need of financial aid. Shane was employed at Dinoflex at the time of the accident. It was a tragic day for Shane’s family, and for the corporation. The company has been very supportive of the Gorner family during this time of loss. Mark Bunz, CEO of Dinoflex Group LP presents the first of what will be an annual financial gift in memory of Shane to Lorne Gorner, Shane’s father. Mr. Bunz commented: It gives me great pleasure to announce that Dinoflex Group has committed to an annual financial gift in memory of our friend and co-worker Shane Gorner. The

n Homegrown singer/songwriter Herald Nix is part of a Canadian contingent that will perform at the 2014 Roots and Blues Festival, which runs Aug. 15 to 17 at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. started talking about ‘alt country,’ Salmon Arm’s Nix was writing and playing music that drew on very deep roots. He can stand up to the microphone alone with his guitar and, with just a few words, draw you into a new world. With stoic detachment and a weatherbeaten, “I’ve-seen-itall” voice, he can make a three-minute song of disillusionment sound as epic as King Lear. Nix’s guitar style is so personal that it defies categorization, think Hank Williams or Lefty Frizzell with fangs and a distortion pedal. Using fingers and slide together, he evokes bottleneck blues and pedal-steel styles. His use of echo harks back to Carl Perkins and Scotty Moore while his gritty amp tones might easily have been devised

by the Memphis and Mississippi transplants who invented Chicago blues. Cannery Row is a Lower Mainland trio featuring the talents of Gary Comeau on piano, fiddle, accordion, mandolin, guitar, banjo & vocals; Tim Hearsey on guitar, slide guitar, banjo, vocals; and Chris Nordquist on drums, percussion, washboard and vocals. With diverse musical backgrounds and a common love of roots, folk, Latin, jazz and blues music, Cannery Row has woven an eclectic mix of original tunes. Hear the influence of Mardi Gras from New Orleans, the blues from Memphis and the Mississippi delta, the Latin rhythms of Cuba and a sprinkle of the early roots of jazz as the trio performs songs from their self-titled album. B.C.S.P.C.A. (Shuswap)

Heather Blush and The Uppercuts are sassy, sultry and just plain fun. A trio of rogue troubadours based in Calgary, they perform original songs in genre-crossing jazz/ blues/roots. Blush’s voice is often compared to those of Norah Jones and Maria Muldaur, and she is quickly becoming known for songwriting that covers all bases, from witty sarcasm to gut-wrenching honesty. With “Captain” Steve Hazlett on drums, a rotating cast of stellar upright bass players and an energetic, audienceengaging show, this group packs a punch that leaves a lasting impression. One of the hottest shows in town, Roots and Blues runs Aug. 15 to 17. Tickets are available at www.rootsandblues.ca or by calling 250-833-4096.

Emma is a happy happy girl, she loves to chase toys in the long grass and loves people company. She’s 100 miles an hour, quite the contrast to Dottie who putters along at a snails pace. We are looking for a dog experienced home who is active as Emma will need lots of exercise, another active dog for her to play with would be great. Dottie has some health issues which she is having treatment for so she will just be a sideline observer as far as all that play is concerned. 2430 - 10th Ave. SW • 250-832-7044 Hours: Mon. to Fri. • 7 am to 5:30 pm Sat. • 8 am to 5:30 pm & Sun. • 10 am to 5 pm

Highlighting Canadian talent is an integral part of the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues mandate. This year the festival lineup includes a large number of Canadian acts coming from across the country, including both veterans of the industry and some just beginning the journey. Staying true to this mandate, the festival welcomes four more stellar Canadian acts: Paul Reddick, Herald Nix, Cannery Row and Heather Blush and The Uppercuts. Reddick is a Canadian blues musician and songwriter who has been a part of Canada’s rich roots music scene for more than 20 years. He began playing the harmonica at the age of 12, his earliest musical influences being masters of the blues like Charley Patton, Robert Johnson and, of course, generations of harmonica aces. Reddick is a grounded, articulate and witty artist. His music, underlined by his expressive harp playing, is simultaneously a century old and totally brand new, but it may be the passionate way he delivers his songs. Reddick has been nominated for Junos, Blues Music Awards and he is a seven-time Maple Blues Award winner. Herald Nix has long been one of the most respected artists in the Canadian underground music scene. Years before people

Long way to go on mental illness

Few can argue that mental illness touches everyone. There are, of course, those who have been diagnosed. Then there are their children, siblings, parents, friends and co-workers. Even complete strangers are often hit with the ripples, as society bears the burden of missed work days, medical visits, inadequate treatment options, etc. It doesn’t matter that research has led to many strategies and treatments that can help sufferers live productive, even normal, lives. Perhaps if it felt easier to talk openly about mental illness, things would be different. For those directly affected, it can feel simpler to try to ignore the reality. While there have been great strides in the realm of mental illness, society still has a hard time accepting it as a disease. ‘Mental illness’ is still a phrase that doesn’t dare get said in polite company. But slowly that shroud is lifting. Some people are becoming more brave to step into the spotlight, to talk about their own struggles. Clara Hughes, for instance. The former Canadian Olympic cyclist and speedskater shared the story of her own family’s battles with mental illness as she cycled 12,000 kms across Canada. Clara’s “Big Ride” concluded on July 1 in Ottawa and connected with more than 23,000 young people in 105 communities. People like Hughes, and those enduring their challenges less publicly, know the difference that acceptance—both of the conditions and the person trying to live with them—makes, and we can all learn from them. But there is still a long way to go. No one should feel the need to hide something they cannot control. The reality is, many of us share the blame for the fact so many people do just that. –Peace Arch News

Precautions can make the difference Just as there are certain things one needs to do in preparation before heading out on a fishing trip, there are also a number of things one should do in preparation for that moment when a fish actually does strike. All anglers live in hope. Before shoving off in your boat or casting a line on your favourite stream or river, take a good look around you. Look among the reeds and foliage along the shoreline. See what insects are moving around in the riparian zone. Look for insect shucks or cases floating on the surface of the water. This will give you an indication as to what insects are in the process of emerging. Look for birds feeding on the surface of the water - where there are birds feeding above, there are fish feeding below. Just because you had luck catching fish in one spot on a previous trip, it does not necessarily follow that you will be able to catch fish there again. Fish are constantly moving in search of food, and while they certainly feed in more productive

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray areas with given regularity, they more often than not only move into these areas to feed at certain times of the day or season. In still waters fish tend to feed along the drop-off during the day and come into the shallows in the evening. Holding pools in moving water are only a temporary respite from the current. Understanding the habits of the fish will help put you in the right place at the right time. Once you’ve decided on an area to fish, explore all options. While spent insect cases can give you some indication of what insects have recently been emerging, when there is not a specific insect hatch coming off, it is important to remember that

there is always some activity below the surface. Select the nymphal or pupal stage of insect that you know or suspect are moving around in the waters below. Fish your imitation fly pattern at different depths with various retrieval speeds. On those occasions when there is absolutely no indication as to what the fish have been feeding on, try using a “search pattern.” Shrimp or leech patterns in still waters are a good bet, while something like a Tom Thumb, caddis pupae or gold-ribbed hair’s ear will attract some attention on moving waters. Again, it is important to fish whatever pattern you choose at different depths and retrieval speeds. Change the size and colour before changing patterns. Remember too, that you always have a better chance of catching fish with your fly in the water. Quite simply, time spent changing patterns or moving about from one spot to another is all valuable “fishing time” wasted. The same holds true for time making too many false casts. It may

look good to other anglers, but it doesn’t catch fish. Another oversight on the part of many anglers is they do not check the points of their hooks or the knots in their leaders often enough. Every snag and every fish puts wear and tear on your terminal tackle. Dull hooks, damaged or weakened leaders and strained knots account for too many lost fish. Sharpen your hooks and check your leaders often. What I am trying to say is that an integral part of fishing is preparation - all the little things - and that includes being properly prepared for a strike when it comes along. I have lost more than one fish because I was not prepared, in one way or another, for the strike when it happened. I recently lost the largest fish I have ever had on the end of my line - a sturgeon well over 500 pounds - because I was not prepared. All I know for sure is that a little observation and a few precautionary measures, can make all the difference when it comes to catching fish.

Bands pleased with Supreme Court ruling By Chelsea Grainger

market news staff

The Supreme Court of Canada has officially declared the aboriginal title for the Tsilhqot’in Nation, and Chiefs of the Neskonlith and Adams Lake Band welcomed the decision – the first of its kind in Canada. The unanimous decision was made on June 26, and extends the Tsilhqot’in First Nation title to an 1,750 square-kilometre area outside of the current

reserve, which means that they have been granted control over what development occurs in the newly mapped area. The decision also allows the nation to go forward with making decisions about the area’s forests and resolve the long running Jules and Wilson litigation. “Canada and BC must acknowledge that our Peoples, our Title and our laws exist. Our people have lived in poverty of long enough,” said

Chief Nelson Leon Chief Judy Wilson of the Neskonlith Indian Band. This country, this province, have been build on our peoples’ poverty. BC’s laws must change and

we are ready and willing to work to make the necessary changes.” Chief Nelson Leon of Adams Lake Indian Ban says that the band is looking forward to the changes. “We look forward to working with governments and industry to define this new way forward,” said Leon. “We will be inviting the public to join us and build a better future which has place for us, our laws, and for our grandchildren together.”

Speed limits going up around the province By Tom Fletcher BLaCk Press

The B.C. government is raising speed limits around southern B.C., including a new 120 km/h limit on three remote stretches of divided four-lane highway. The new maximum applies to the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) from Aspen Grove to Peachland and Highway 19 from Parksville to Campbell River. The Coquihalla sections get new 120 km/h signs this week, and more changes will roll out this summer as sign

crews put up new limits. In all, 35 sections of rural provincial highway totalling 1,300 are getting higher speed limits. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit. A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions. Digital signs that can display different limits will be tested on sections of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla and Sea-toSky highways.

Correction In an article in the June 27 Shuswap Market News regarding development in the Salmon Arm Industrial Park being exempt

from municipal taxes, the value listed was a $500,000 assessment or more. That should have been $300,000 or more.

Other increases are 80 to 100 km/h on Highway 3 from Manning Park West to Allison Pass, 90 to 100 km/h from Revelstoke to Golden and 100 to 110 km/h on Highway 97C from Merritt to

Aspen Grove. The ministry accepted recommendations from RCMP representatives to improve signs that encourage slower traffic to move to right lanes, and to clarify winter tire rules.

Carmel Cove opens with new owners Carmel Cove Resort on Blind Bay Road is open for business with new owners. Tammy Myer, one of five partners who assumed ownership of the resort May 29, says the 23 luxury lodges are available for sale. But, with only three sold, the other three and four-bedroom lodges are available for

rent, with a three-day minimum stay. The large beach clubhouse has an outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness centre, games room, fireside lounge and a deck overlooking Shuswap Lake. “We’d just like the community to know we’re under new ownership,” says Myer. Fisheries has given

their approval to the resort and Myer says the water is tested regularly with samples going to a lab in Kamloops. “I think there’s a lot of speculation and questions, but nobody is coming in to ask,” she says of controversy around the project and its former owner. “We thought it would ease people’s minds.

We have no parking for boats, so we want to send them to the marinas as well as the grocery stores and restaurants.” Myer says Carmel Cove would like feedback and will gladly show people around the resort. To make inquiries or reservations, call Jennifer at 778-212-0587.

Festival of the arts off the rails in 2014 By Chelsea Grainger

market news staff

The multi-media Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts has been temporarily derailed in what would have been its 31st year. Chris George, president of the festival society, said the festival board wants to revamp the experience.

“After brainstorming on ideas to revitalize the show, we realized we simply were not going to have time to properly plan and prepare for a new and improved show,” said George. “The decision was made to cancel this year’s show in order to focus on making the 2015 show a new and

improved experience.” George said one of the big changes for next year will be the incorporation of more styles of art. “We want to include all of the arts in the festival, widening it out from the traditional painting, sculpture and fabric arts and bringing in music, drama and even the

culinary arts as part of the festival.”

Summer! Your doctor says you have It’s It’s Summer! diabetes — now what

(NC) You get a call from your doctor’s office to come in and discuss some test results. “Let’s get right to it,” your doctor says. “I’m afraid the test shows you have type 2 diabetes.” Maybe she hands you some pamphlets and the phone number for a diabetes clinic. She then says something about what to do next. But you are so upset that all you can hear through the fog of emotion is the odd word: diet … exercise … medication. But mainly, you hear your own voice inside your head: “Not me!” A diagnosis of diabetes is definitely nothing to shrug at, so you’re right to be concerned. But there are also many useful, trustworthy resources available that will help you understand what’s happening to your body and equip you to manage it for the best possible outcome. What is type 2 diabetes? Insulin is a hormone your body produces to use the fuel glucose (a simple form of sugar) that your body makes from foods such as potatoes, fruit and

bread, as well as from sugary foods such as ice cream and doughnuts. If you have type 2 diabetes, either your pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, or your body doesn’t properly use the insulin it does make. Either way, glucose builds up in your blood. (This is what “high blood sugar” means.) Diabetes doesn’t go away by itself. Left alone or not managed well, it can cause heart disease, kidney problems, blindness and nerve damage leading to amputation. According to the 2013 Sun Life Canadian Health Index, nearly 90 per cent of Canadians misidentified at least one risk factor for diabetes, a disease that has been called the epidemic of the 21st century by the World Health Organization. The good news Your doctor will set a target range for your blood sugar level, and if you keep within that range, you can live a long and healthy life. To do this, you’ll need to: • Eat healthy meals and snacks. • Get regular exercise.

terol levels on target. • Visit your dentist and eye doctor regularly. Many people, at least at first, can manage their blood sugar through diet and exercise alone. But keep in mind that diabetes is a progressive, lifelong condition that can be managed — but not cured. Over time, controlling your blood sugar may get harder, and your healthcare team may need to adjust your

diet, activity level or medication. The Canadian Diabetes Association estimates that one in three Canadians will live with diabetes by 2020. Sun Life Financial is committed to playing a leadership role and as part of this, you can visit, BrighterLife.ca. The site will answer your health questions with the goal to slow the advance of diabetes and its related complications.

Working together —

Keeping our water clean

What’s the state of water quality in the Shuswap?

What steps can we take together to secure good water quality for the future?

An Update from the Shuswap Watershed Council We all depend on the Shuswap watershed as a source of water for drinking, recreation, tourism and agriculture, as well as for the health of fish and wildlife.

Are there risks to water quality where you live, work and play?

The SHUSWAP WATERSHED COUNCIL is a new collaborative program of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD), District of Sicamous, City of Salmon Arm and Regional District of North Okanagan, together with the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council, Province of BC (Ministry of Agriculture) and other agencies and interests. The mandate of the Council is to help enhance water quality and safe recreation in the region for the long term. In 2014 the Council is focusing its efforts on creation of a Water Quality Program for the Shuswap Watershed.

Water Quality: A Quick Overview THE GOOD NEWS — Recent water monitoring shows that water quality is good in most locations in and around Shuswap and Mara Lakes. THE BAD NEWS — In certain lake locations, rivers, streams and groundwater sites, high concentrations of phosphorus, nitrogen or fecal coliform bacteria have been found. Excess nutrients and contaminants present risks to water quality. WHAT’S PROPOSED — To prevent deterioration of water quality in the lakes, the Shuswap Watershed Council is proposing a Water Quality Program. Over the next five years, this program would include: • water quality monitoring, analysis and reporting at high-priority sites, and • collaborative action to protect water quality in areas of greatest impact. NEXT STEPS — The proposed 2015-2020 Water Quality Program will be submitted to the partner agencies of the Shuswap Watershed Council in September. The CSRD is working up options for the governance and funding of the program.

Connect with us!! COME TO A COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE The Shuswap Watershed Council is hosting seven open houses in July: in Chase, Falkland, Sicamous, Salmon Arm, Scotch Creek, Sorrento and Enderby. Drop by to learn more about the Water Quality Program. Everyone is welcome! (See back panel for details).

What is the quality of water in the shuswap?

sePtiC systeMs Septic systems around the lakes overall contribute a small fraction of nitrogen and phosphorus loading to the lakes. In Sorrento, Blind Bay, White Lake and Sunnybrae, however, groundwater samples have shown high levels of nutrients and/or e. coli counts – and septic systems may be a contributing source.

Water quality monitoring on Shuswap Lake. A solid baseline of water data was compiled in 2011-2013, thanks to the collaboration of multiple agencies, along with community volunteers.

Introduction

www.saobserver.net A17

Shuswap Water Quality Map

Where are the problem areas?

From 2011-2013 a comprehensive, three-year water monitoring program on the lakes and tributaries was carried out by various agencies through the former Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP).

The green zones in the map show areas of Shuswap and Mara Lakes found to have good water quality with no concerns overall about excess nutrients or bacterial contamination.

Participants included the Province of BC (Ministry of Environment), Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Columbia Shuswap Regional District, City of Salmon Arm, District of Sicamous and Interior Health Authority, as well as small water suppliers and community volunteers.

In some areas (yellow zones), there were concerns about bacteria or nutrient levels at some times of the year, and in a few areas (orange zones), levels were higher or present for longer periods.

2011-2013 Monitoring Work

tHe neeD to ProteCt Water at tHe sourCe

Working in collaboration, the agencies collected samples at over 250 sites and compiled a comprehensive set of water quality data for Shuswap and Mara Lakes and the tributaries.

The mandate of the Shuswap Watershed Council (SWC) is focused on maintaining and enhancing water quality in the watershed “at the source.” This is a unique role and possible only through collaboration since no single agency has responsibility for keeping the watershed healthy.

The program was structured to: • monitor the health of the lake and detect any potential trends in water quality • monitor conditions near the shoreline, including water intakes, beaches, algae growth and groundwater • determine the effects of specific activities, such as wastewater treatment plants, and • monitor the water quality of rivers and streams flowing into the lakes. Important data on nutrients, bacteria and contaminants were collected through each type of monitoring. Water Monitoring results Generally, water quality across the region was found to be good. Most water samples taken during the SLIPP pilot project met government safety guidelines for raw drinking water, for swimming and for livestock, fish and wildlife protection. In certain lake locations, rivers and streams, however, high concentrations of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) or fecal bacteria were found. Here is why those findings are of concern: • Phosphorus and Nitrogen: High levels of these nutrients (especially phosphorus) lead to overgrowth of algae. Algae is a natural part of the food chain in a lake. However, excessive amounts can reduce water clarity, create odours and impair the value of water for drinking, recreation and tourism. • Fecal Bacteria: An excess of fecal bacteria (E. coli) may indicate contamination with waterborne pathogens and that the water is unsuitable for human consumption.

nutrients: a gooD tHing? Many of us – especially when thinking of our lawns and gardens – consider nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen to be a good thing. And they can be, when properly balanced. However, aquatic ecosystems, such as Shuswap and Mara Lakes, are sensitive to large inflows – or “loads” – of these nutrients. Large loads of nutrients can alter the biological and chemical cycles that take place in the lake.

At some monitoring sites, water samples were found to contain high levels of nutrients or bacteria, either occasionally or frequently: see Issues at Specific Locations (below). Of particular concern are groundwater sites where some samples showed high levels of nitrogen or phosphorus, or E. coli levels exceeding the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines.

Within those river valleys, the use of land for agriculture creates the greatest nutrient input to the rivers. Nitrogen and phosphorus come from manure and fertilizers that are commonly used in agriculture operations. They enter surface water a number of different ways, such as through erosion, run-off and soil drainage.

MABEL LAKE

Wastewater treatment plants, septic systems and pleasure craft holding tanks (grey water) also contribute phosphorus and nitrogen to the lakes.

When it comes to direct discharges into the lakes, improvements are important. For example, if all wastewater treatment plants discharging into lakes or rivers had tertiary treatment capabilities, this would likely achieve the largest reduction in nutrients from single discharge points.

Water Monitoring – a foCus on HigH-Priority loCations The Water Monitoring Initiative will focus on: • Monitoring at high-priority locations across the Shuswap watershed • Collaboration across all agencies in monitoring and data compilation, for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness • Data analysis that identifies water quality trends or emerging issues • Public reporting of the monitoring results.

Because the tributaries bring the greatest volume of nutrients into the Shuswap and Mara Lakes, reducing this load will offer the greatest benefit. There are no “quick fixes” when it comes to controlling nutrients. Phosphorus, for example, is complex to manage. Only recently have its impacts on water become well understood. As well, phosphorus builds up in the soil, so it can continue to enter surface water over a long period of time. The Shuswap Watershed Council is beginning a dialogue with leaders in the agricultural sector on best practices in nutrient management that are feasible in this region, and what incentives and support would be of greatest value. The Water Protection Initiative will focus on encouraging agricultural producers, on a voluntary basis, to manage animal feed, manure and fertilizers in a way that helps reduce nutrients, in particular phosphorus, from entering the tributaries.

Everyone has a role to play! Everyone in the Shuswap can help protect water quality. This is so whether you are a farmer choosing fertilizers, a houseboat operator managing greywater, or an individual homeowner looking to lighten your footprint. Ways homeowners can help: • Keep existing septic systems in good repair • Choose gentle cleaning products • Properly dispose of medications • Keep all substances away from storm drains • Reduce use of fertilizers on lawns and gardens.

A reduction in nutrients – especially phosphorus – will have the greatest positive impact on water quality.

A significant, naturally occurring source of nitrogen inputs to the lakes comes from decaying salmon, particularly from a dominant run.

2 Magna Bay near shore site – elevated levels of nitrogen

Most excess nutrients in Shuswap and Mara Lakes come from the tributaries. A study commissioned by the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process in 2013 identified the sources of nutrients in the watershed. It estimated that tributaries (rivers and streams) are the source of over 95% of nutrient-loading into Shuswap and Mara Lakes. Of these, the Shuswap, Salmon and Eagle Rivers are the most significant nutrient sources.

The Shuswap Watershed Council is developing a five-year Water Quality Program for 2015-2020, with two main components: 1. water monitoring and 2. water protection at the source.

GARDENS

Kathleen’s Garden A home and a yard on a hill can give some challenges to landscaping. Kathleen’s garden has met these challenges. By the front door is a nice spot to sit and enjoy the shade and the cool during the heat of the day, taking in the roses, hostas and astilbe in the adjacent flower bed. On the west side of the yard there is a nice fire pit to enjoy while taking in the lakeview. There are some lovely paths and great trees and shrubs offering a variety in colour and textures. Even the different rocks used makes the landscape interesting. One area of the rockwork gives the illusion of an old creek bed. The whole yard is to be admired for the many textures and colours. It’s not just about flowers. Thanks Kathleen for sharing your yard with us.

An alphabet soup of children’s acronyms

Children’s Corner Tanja Carlson

It would seem every organization serves up its own variety of alphabet soup. These soups may contain acronyms such as EDI, MDI, ASQ. You have most likely seen many, many other varieties as well. What the heck is

ASQ you may ask? The Ages and Stages Questionnaire is a series of questionnaires designed to assess the development performance of children between the ages of 4 and 60 months in the areas of communication, gross motor skills, problem solving, personal-social skills and overall development over periods of time. These universal, ageappropriate surveys are completed by parents or caregivers and take only about 20 minutes to complete. The items on the questionnaire represent behaviours

the child should be able to perform at a given age and can help pinpoint delays as early as possible. The best part is that this process is fun and engaging for the kids. Excitingly enough when I was planning to expose you to perhaps a new variety of alphabet soup, I came across this timely invitation from the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District to attend a Community ASQ Forum. This information session and community planning workshop is to help interested

Construction waste fees up The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is raising tipping fees for demolition, land-clearing, and construction (DLC) waste effective, July 1 at all waste facilities in the TNRD. The tipping fees for DLC waste will go from $60 per tonne to $120 per tonne, as per a new bylaw that was adopted by the TNRD board of directors.

The bylaw will also see changes to household refuse fees on Jan. 1, 2015, as well as a further increase in DLC fees to $160 per tonne on that same date. The new fee structure will give customers the ability to save money by source-separating DLC waste. A separate lower fee will be applied to select waste streams if

they are separated. The lower fees only apply at sites where separate collection areas exist. Please contact the TNRD if you have questions about specific TNRD facilities. The fee increases are in step with the userpay principle adopted in the TNRD Solid Waste Management Plan. These changes will move costs away

from the taxpayer and towards the user. The new fee structure creates incentive for customers to source separate demolition and construction waste, allowing materials to be recycled instead of landfilled. The new fees will make TNRD fees comparable to other regional districts in the Southern Interior.

There are now many sub-genres of sciencefiction novels — dystopian, paranormal, steampunk, apocalyp-

Timber tussle near Chase

Cutblocks: Residents concerned over water supply. By Cam Fortems

Kamloops this weeK

Residents of a rural area near Chase are clashing with a forest company, a fight foresters predict will become more common as companies log timber closer to homes. Homeowners in the area known as Ptarmigan Hills, located off ChaseFalkland Road about 10 kilometres south of Chase, say they were stunned to learn Tolko Industries Ltd. is planning three cutblocks in their area. The forest has not seen bulldozers or feller-bunchers in nearly a decade. Marjorie Hamilton, who owns Ploughman’s Lunch restaurant in downtown Kamloops, said there are 20 water licences in the area, noting residents have dire concerns about their supply. In 2005, Tolko signed a planning document called the Chase Creek Retention Plan. Residents assumed the deal protected their watershed. Late last year, residents learned the company had notified stakeholders it was planning new cutblocks in the forest. “They’re saying, ‘We’re not exactly sure where the cutblocks are,” Hamilton said. “Tolko doesn’t communicate — period.” Chase Creek feeds into the South Thompson River at Chase. The watershed has been heavily logged, in part due to mountain pine beetle. It is prone to high loads of silt that plagued Kamloops taps until the water-treatment plant was completed and has in the past blown out its banks in lower areas. Another long-term resident, Laurie Payne, said the area cannot be logged without threatening water supply. “The conflict here in our community is that Tolko Logging Company wants to cut trees in the watershed that sustains the community beneath Ptarmigan Hills, a watershed that has wa-

tered the local people for close to a hundred years.” Henry Cornelson, one of the residents who was part of crafting the 2005 retention plan, said Tolko’s plans came as a shock. He said the retention

logging is unlikely to occur this year, but planning will continue. “You’ll see more regular harvesting,” he said. “We’ll be out of the high plateau areas.” But, residents say they’re not dropping the fight. “Though we are small, we will fight to the end for our water,” Payne said. “So please leave and go home. It is beautiful, clean water that we value above all.”

MACAULAY, KARIN MARY (WALLENSTEEN) June 5, 1924 – June 24, 2014 Karin, our beloved Mother and precious Nana, passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Mineral Springs Hospital in Banff on June 24, 2014. Karin was born in Salmon Arm, B.C. on June 5, 1924 to Karl and Elsa Wallensteen. She grew-up in Sunnybrae, on the shores of Shuswap Lake, alongside her brothers Henry and Karl, and her sisters Dagny, Elsa, and Astrid. Karin worked for Boeing Aircraft in Vancouver during World War II, moving west to Banff in March of 1946. Two weeks after she arrived, she was introduced to Jack MacAulay, a local boy, during a dance at the Cascade Hall. They married on October 19, 1946, and began a remarkable 54year partnership that was committed to raising their family and actively participating in community life in Banff. Karin was a wise and deeply insightful woman, and although she was shy by nature, she made friends easily. Her inherent kindness drew people to her and she welcomed their friendship unconditionally with an open mind and an understanding heart. Karin directed her quiet intelligence and natural athleticism into endless pursuits: mountain climbing, hiking, fishing, white water canoeing, fast cars (or at least, driving very fast), Sudoku, crossword puzzles, cribbage, board games, good books, theology, astronomy, philosophy – the list never ended. She was proud of her Swedish heritage, and kept in touch with her extended family in Scandinavia throughout her life. Most of all, she loved Jack, her children, and her grandchildren. She knew that life could be marked with difficulty, but was unwavering in her belief that time, faith, hope, and love are the greatest healers. She will forever be our soft star that shines at night. Karin is survived by her sons, Herb and John, daughters Karen, Shelley, Jodi (Grant Knowles), and Julie-Ann, grandsons Daniel Larg and Currie MacAulay, granddaughter Kelsey Larg, sisters Dagny Fochuk and Elsa Hacking, and numerous nieces and nephews. To Dr. Lynne Marriott, the superb nursing team, and the food services staff at Mineral Springs – thank you for your compassion and gentle care during Nana’s last months. Her first job in Banff was as a nurse’s aide – she revered caregivers – she was grateful for all of you and she loved you and we thank you on her behalf. At Karin’s request, there will be no funeral. Charitable contributions, if desired, can be made to the organization of the donor’s choice. Remember her when you next gather with friends, preferably over a cup of strong, black coffee. She would wish you Happy Trails.

Benefits of shopping locally

When the time comes to purchase manufactured products, choosing a local supplier is a sensible decision and ensures a guarantee of good quality. A local supplier must follow certain strict standards of quality and can tell you about all the different stages of production from the initial purchase of the product’s components to all the finishing touches.

It can never be repeated enough: buying what you need in local shops is a great way of preserving the vitality and the assets of your neighbourhood.

The area you live in is well known to local merchants because they live there too. They are able to offer you the quality products which suit your needs as they have the same philosophy and the same tastes as you do. It’s in this way that stores manage to build a reputation for themselves and can become a point of reference in their area of expertise, attracting people from neighbouring towns or even tourists.
