Fire season heading for a scorcher

B.C.: More forest already burned than in average year, hot conditions to continue. By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Wildfires in B.C. have already burned up more forest than has usually been lost in recent years, with many weeks of hot, smoky action still expected for firefighting crews. Fires have burned 172,227 hectares since April 1 – more than the average of 141,000 hectares burned over the previous 10 years. “It has been quite busy,” fire information officer Navi Saini said Tuesday. “The danger ratings we saw for the last two weeks were the highest we’d

seen since about 2010, which was the last busy fire season.” In 2010, B.C. lost 337,149 hectares and spent $212 million fighting 1,673 fires. Evacuation orders were issued for several areas that year. There have been 652 fires so far this year and 128 of them were considered active as of Tuesday. The provincial government has so far spent an estimated $80.7 million and more than nine times as much area has already been burned as the 18,259 hectares all of last year. About 60 per cent of the fires so far have been caused by people – a high proportion – but Saini

said that’s typical early in the season, because lightning-sparked fires tend to pick up later in the summer. Cooler weather and rain this week is helping ease the wildfire risk in much of the province, but Saini said a high pressure ridge is expected to rebuild by the weekend, bringing a return to warm, dry conditions. Thousands of residents were ordered evacuated due to wildfires earlier this month near West Kelowna and Hudson’s Hope, where BC Hydro dams that generate much of B.C.’s power were also evacuated but continued to operate.

Trail campaign picks up steam

Former rail line: CSRD directors support initiative. MARKET NEWS STAFF

Retaining the railway right of way from Sicamous to Armstrong received strong support at the July 17 Columbia Shuswap Regional District. Chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton brought a letter from Electoral Area E director Rhona Martin to the board’s attention at the July 17 board meeting in Salmon Arm. Martin, who was away on UBCM business, told Hamilton she had arranged for a meeting with the mayors of Vernon, Armstrong and Sicamous (and councillors), as well as representatives from the Regional District of the North Okanagan (RDNO), the Shuswap Trail Alliance and the Splatsin Band. “At the meeting yesterday (June 25), each gave a brief comment on their thoughts on moving forward and, although we are not quite sure how to do this, it was determined that we must first speak to our own local governments to receive the mandate to be engaged in discussion about the rail line and what our next steps should be,” Martin wrote. Hamilton advised the directors that Martin had been involved in initial discussions in 2009, talks that had stopped after the District of Sicamous determined the railway wanted more money

than they were willing to pay. “Work is now underway, the track material is being salvaged,” said Hamilton, noting the work was the impetus to get discussions back on the rails and Martin wanted the board to be aware and authorize her to represent CSRD. “She realizes the “railsto-trails” concept is attractive but is also cognizant that we just don’t have the discretionary funds.” Salmon Arm Coun. Debbie Cannon was enthusiastically onboard. “I think all regional districts and municipalities need to show huge support for this. It would attract tourists from all over the world,” she said, noting

Salmon Arm council wrote a letter of support and copied it to both the provincial and federal governments. “We need to be at the table and show support, it’s a huge opportunity…” Sitting in for Mayor Darrell Trouton, Sicamous alternate Terry Rysz, agreed. “We have been working on this for about six months and we are sending a resolution to UBCM,” he said. “With the province and community support, we may be able to pull this off.” Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok called the trail a “brilliant and large opportunity.” “I think we should get a committee struck,

involving the CSRD, RDNO, municipalities and First Nations,” he said. “I think we need to be organized at our end before we enter negotiations – not do it piecemeal fashion.” Mayor Nancy Cooper pointed out that the Healthy Communities Coalition and Shuswap Trail Alliance are also supporting this “healthy option.” “I certainly will support whatever we want to do going forward,” she said. The board voted unanimously to support board member participation in future meetings to discuss the possibility of protecting the abandoned rail line for future transportation opportunities.

CSRD board defers approval of expense policy Expense accounts: Staff seek to update political spending guidelines last revised in 1981. By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Directors pushed pause on an attempt by Columbia Shuswap Regional District staff to introduce policies on expense accountability and giving grants prior to elections. Jodi Kooistra, manager of financial services, brought forward a policy to amend travel and expense reimbursement for staff and directors and a second that would prevent directors from giving grants in aid in the three months prior to a municipal election. Kooistra told directors at the July 17 board meeting in Salmon Arm that the travel and expense policy was adopted in 1981 and has not been amended since. “There are currently no guidelines that set limits on meal expenditures, room upgrades or partner programs,” she said. “We have been paying out previously on the basis of submitted receipts, but there was a lack of consistency in how we process expense claims within the organization.” Kooistra explained that some submitted receipts have shown total amounts, but no itemized details of the expense. “Policy F-14 provides guidelines for consistency and accountability when travelling on regional district business, representing the regional district or attending conferences, seminars and other training opportunities,” wrote Kooistra in her report. “It is essential to have a clear and concise policy supported by sound procedures that clearly define the authority to attend, the permitted expenses, the payment limits and the reporting requirements.” CSRD board chair David Raven supported the report, speaking to both policies immediately following the meeting. “Over the past several years, it has become apparent that the

“It was clearly an old policy from the ’80s and we need to look after the dollars better – and we have to have limits on what expenses can be,” she said, expressing her belief that, like Salmon Arm councillors, CSRD directors’ remuneration and expenses should be posted on the regional district’s website where it can be accessed by members of the public. “I totally stand behind Charles and the policy finance brought forward. I don’t think there is a need for it to go to the area directors. I don’t understand why we couldn’t discuss it ...” Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin was absent from last Thursday’s meeting, but the other rural directors were basically of the same voice on the need for further discussion at the Aug. 7 Electoral Area Directors meeting. “Although it does pertain to board and staff, it has great impact on area directors and I think it requires some clarification and further discussion,” said Area B Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker, following the meeting. “We’re having our EAD meeting in August; it’s not like it’s gonna be held up for any length of time, given that it’s so outdated.” Morgan said he just needs to better understand the policy. “I just got the material a week ago in the agenda package and was surprised at the direction of the policy,” he said. “I felt I need-

ed an opportunity to meet with other directors before approving it at the board level.” “The feeling was the policies were really electoral area director-related and the process should have these policies go through the directors before being ratified by the board,” added Demenok. Talbot called the expense policy too vague on a number of points and wanted to make sure the regional district policy is in line with other districts and municipalities. “What they brought to the board was, ‘this is what we want to do,’ with nothing to show comparisons,” Talbot said. “I agree that we have to be accountable, but let’s make sure we are in line with others.” Talbot, Demenok and Morgan expressed similar concerns about amending the policy on handing out grants prior to elections. “It is an electoral area director program and we did not yet get a chance to discuss it at the meeting before it came to the board,” said Demenok. Talbot added that some mechanism should be in place in case a group has an emergency and needs a grant in aid during the three-months prior to an election. “We don’t need to do this right away; it’s not a big deal, the directors are not going anywhere,” he said. “And it’s not a big deal for directors to discuss this and come back to the board in August.”

A Sorrento grandfather wants to be compensated for being wrongly prohibited from driving. In June last year, Peter Norman asked his grandson, who possessed a learner’s licence, to drive him after he drank a few beer. Police stopped them and had Norman, who was in the passenger’s seat, blow into a breathalyser in his role as a qualified supervisor. He was given a roadside prohibition, his licence was suspended and his vehicle impounded. He protested to the police and the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, to no avail. However, in October last year, he received a letter from the Motor Vehicles office. It said the office had been advised by the RCMP’s E Division Traffic Services in Surrey that the prohibition was issued in error and Norman no longer had an unsatisfactory driving record. With the help of lawyer Paul Doroshenko, who specializes in drunk driving law, Norman is going after compensation from the RCMP. Norman has explained that, during the prohibition, he was reliant on others for rides, he couldn’t generate his usual income by delivering fire wood to customers and he couldn’t go hunting for meat. “The police had no jurisdiction to do this,” says Doroshenko. “He’s the most reasonable guy in the world, he’s not looking for a ton of money, he’s looking to be compensated.” In the meantime, he’s busy defending clients he believes have a good case. “Peter Norman’s situation is a little bit special. He’s a very neat guy.”

OPINION Taxes revenue lost to contraband smokes The proliferation of contraband tobacco in Canada is nothing new, but it’s often an overlooked crime in the public realm. It’s no surprise to smokers, but tax revenue on legally purchased cigarettes has been steadily rising for the past few decades with an average pack now costing $10. Advocates like the B.C. chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society say the increased cost is a win-win, as it boosts government revenue while prompting more people to quit. Yet it appears more people are finding alternative ways to satisfy their nicotine habit by avoiding government gatekeeping altogether. An analysis of hundreds of cigarette butts at five sites in Victoria and Saanich found up to 25 per cent were contraband, or illegal products. Finding a thrifty supplier seems to be the easy part, according to Andrew Klukas, president of the Western Convenience Stores Association, who conducted the analysis. Klukas also pointed out 22 per cent of cigarette butts collected at Vic High were classified as contraband, which suggests teens are finding ways to avoid expensive legal cigarettes in favour of illegal products as well. A baggie of 200 cigarettes can sometimes cost only $10, Klukas said. Klukas and his colleagues have a vested interest in locals purchasing cigarettes from their retailers, but the research suggests the B.C. government may be losing $120 million a year in tax revenue to illegal tobacco dealings. That’s money going into the pockets of organized crime from elsewhere in the country and as far away as Asia, and it needs renewed focus from both federal and provincial governments. -Saanich News

How to deal with muddy tasting fish The dog days of summer (July 3 to August 11) are well upon us and fishing, at least in many of our Southern Interior lakes, has taken a turn for the worst. Most fish, it would seem, have made a beeline for the bottom of the lake where water temperatures are a bit cooler and the water contains more oxygen. As water temperatures rise, the level of dissolved oxygen particles becomes depleted making it harder on fish to absorb oxygen through their gills – in effect, it makes it harder for them to breath. Any of the fish I’ve encountered as of late were so lethargic that you could drop a fly, lure or just about anything else right on top of their heads and they wouldn’t have reacted. Having said that, fish usually will become more active in late evening when and if water temperatures have cooled off enough. Another problem with extended warm temperatures is that in many lakes, any fish that you might catch and want to eat are, well, not really all that good to eat. They

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray taste like mud. Contrary to what some people seem to think, fish do not taste muddy because of the muddy lake bottom in which they are caught. The flavour is caused by a chemical compound called geosmin. The two primary producers of geosmin in freshwater lakes are the blue-green algae you see on the surface of some lakes and actinomyces bacteria which causes decomposition of organic material on the lake bottom. Algae and actinomyces bacteria release geosmin into the water (it is actually released when the living algae and bacteria die), which trout breathe in through their gills and then transfer, through the blood-

stream, into their skin, flesh and muscle tissue. Geosmin is only eliminated with time once the algae bloom clears and/or decomposition slows. The rate of elimination is dependant on water temperature and the fat content of the fish, which is species and age/size specific. Ironically, both algae and decomposition increase in warmer water, while it takes longer for a fish to eliminate the geosmin compounds from their system in cooler water due to metabolism rates. Although fish can still taste muddy in the fall, it is much more of a problem during the hot summer months when the algae is in full bloom. The problem diminishes as water temperatures cool down and are less likely to occur in lakes which are relatively deep and low in organic matter. The problem can also exist in lakes with a high degree of suspended clay particles. The clay absorbs the geosmin, that subsequently passes through the gills of fish. It can be hard to predict

which lakes will have muddy tasting fish. Two lakes of similar depth, with the same type of algae bloom, may not produce similar tasting fish. Sometimes it’s just a matter of what micro-habitat a fish frequents when eating. If you do keep a fish that you suspect is going to taste muddy, you can usually distinguish a slight muddy smell when you’re cleaning it. You can try soaking the fish in vinegar to help remove the taste, but I’ve never really found vinegar all that successful – geosmin breaks down in acid. There are all sorts of so-called remedies for muddy-tasting fish, but, like I say, I’ve never found one that works. Once I know the muddy taste is there I can always taste it, regardless of how it is prepared, how much spice might be used or what kind of sauce it’s covered with. The best way to get rid of the muddy taste in trout is to practise catch and release. Simply return the fish back to the water and figure out something else to have for dinner.

Locally, Lind had a vision for the future of Sorrento Centre, for the world around us, and for his place in it. “I have had many jobs in my life. Taken together they have formed an academic career. However, a vocation is different from a career. It is reflected in a career but runs much deeper in one’s soul. As I reflect on what moves me, excites me and commands my attention, I see that I am passionate about transformation. I am constantly engaged in forming, reforming and transforming my self, and my relationships with the world around me. I take delight in responding to the call to bring others along on this extraordinary journey,” wrote Lind on his blog. A memorial service will be held at Christ Church Cathedral Vancouver on Saturday, July 26, at 3 p.m. Lind’s ashes will be interred in the Memorial Garden at Sorrento Centre at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 31.

Sorrento Centre is mourning the loss of one of its own. Executive director Dr. Christopher Lind, an esteemed Anglican theologian, social activist and ethicist, died July 11 after succumbing to inoperable brain cancer. Lind held several prestigious posts in his lifetime, including director of the Toronto School of Theology from 2003 to 2006. He was based in Saskatoon from 1985 to 2003, first as professor of church and society and then as president of St. Andrew’s Theological College. Lind also served as president of the amalgamated St. Andrew’s College and St. Stephen’s College in Saskatoon and Edmonton, sponsored by the United Church of Canada. Lind authored or co-edited five books in the areas of ecumenical social ethics, globalization and agriculture, mission and theology.

A look back at land use planning

SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman The ’90s was a unique decade in British Columbia, when environmental conflicts made headlines and the provincial government responded with environmental legislation and policies, along with intense land use planning processes throughout the province. The dichotomy of jobs versus the environment and parks versus logging were as much a part of the debate in the Shuswap as elsewhere. When the government led process in the form of the Okanagan Shuswap land and Resource Management Planning process (LRMP) began here in 1996, the Shuswap Environmental Action Society (SEAS) was ready. As the SEAS president, I had participated in the successful Kamloops LRMP, which concluded after just two years with a plan that created new parks in the Adams River region including the Momich Lakes. We had pushed hard for the Shuswap process and when it began, it was thus easy to become frustrated with the glacial pace due to the overwhelming amount of government bureaucracy. The government team had

increased the level of complexity to the point of information overload so that it took a few years before all the participants actually began to develop the plan, including negotiating the size and locations of the areas to be protected. The LRMP table met monthly except during the summer, mostly in Kelowna, on a Friday and Saturday. There were approximately 30 stakeholder participants with an equal number of alternates representing resource sectors (logging, mining, trapping and cattle), conservation groups, labour, tourism, commerce, and recreation. Although there were four environmental protection representatives from the Shuswap, North, Central and south Okanagan along with a naturalist, it appeared as if we were outnumbered with so many industry delegates at the table. The many provincial and local government representatives at the table were there to provide information and advise, but they did not participate in the negotiations and final decision-making. There was no shortage of information and we spent over a year hearing reports, studying countless maps, and pouring over data. Key to the process was the goal of representation, as we were attempting to protect at least 12 percent of each type of ecosystem, down to the level of sub-zones. For example, the Interior Cedar-Hemlock forests

include eleven subzones from very dry/ warm to very wet/cool. During the summer of 1997, we were tasked to create a “vision” of what we wanted included in the plan. We teamed up with allies: the naturalists, recreation, tourism, Wildlife Federation and trapping representatives, to form the Conservation Sector. After each sector provided presentations that included maps showing our preferences, the government contracted a professional legal mediator to oversee the negotiations. His first task was to create a compromise map, which was a difficult task considering that industry proposed just 54,000 hectares of parks while we proposed 300,000 hectares! The plan we strived for included much more than just new parks, as it contained special management zones for many different wildlife species as well as recreation, added protection for watersheds, specific direction for forestry practices, and recommendations for a follow-up advisory board. A completed land use plan is made up of objectives and strategies for each resource value, that when endorsed by government became legally enforceable under what was then the Forest Practices Code. The process used for the table to actually write the plan was at first unnecessarily slow and cumbersome, until we finally used smaller committees to focus on

specific sections. By the spring of 1999, the negotiations were nearly complete. Much of the work that remained involved reviewing drafts of the plan and making final changes and improvements. I particularly remember one evening when we were in the final negotiations regarding the size and boundaries for certain parks. The conservation sector was in one hotel room and the forest industry was in another upstairs. The mediator, using shuttle diplomacy, would take our proposal up to the industry reps, who stated their preferences and then he would return to hear our responses. By the end of that evening, we had the final compromise and the LRMP was nearly complete. In the end, the plan created 120,000 hectares of new parks, including 25,000 hectares in the Shuswap. In addition, it added another 10,000 hectares of riparian protection for watersheds, interim protection for 9,000 hectares of critical caribou habitat to allow for research, and 61,000 hectares of old growth management areas that were mapped after the process ended. Equally important, was that after five years an improved level of respect and trust was generated between all participants that continued for nearly a decade at follow-up LRMP meetings until the provincial government ended these opportunities for dialog and cooperation.

The kids are not alright: The truth about children’s mental health

(NC) There’s a lot of talk about children’s mental health these days. We’ve all heard the stats: One in five Canadian children has a diagnosable mental health issue. Youth mental disorders rank second in hospital expenditure care in Canada. Despite all the attention this issue receives, the truth is many more children have milder but significant social, emotional, and behavioural problems that may go unnoticed by parents. “The problem is many parents don’t see their children in the stats,” confirms Dr. Wendy Craig, a psychology professor at Queen’s University. “They assume if their child had a mental health issue, they’d know about it.” Mental health is often considered an all-or-nothing issue. “The perception is that your child’s either fine, or they’re suffering from serious mental illness.” In fact, Craig explains, mental health should be viewed on a continuum, with extreme mental well-

ness or illness at each end. As children develop, their mental well-being fluctuates. And genetics and biology aside, the degree to which kids slide to one extreme or the other throughout their lives depends largely on one important factor: the quality of their relationships. Studies show that a positive parent-child relationship, in particular, may be the key to kids’ long-term mental wellness. Unfortunately, it seems Canadian parents are

missing out on fostering this significant mental health asset. In a recent global study comparing children’s well-being in 29 countries, Canadian kids lag in the bottom third for relationships with both parents and peers. “These findings suggest our kids aren’t necessarily talking to us about how they’re feeling,” says Craig. “This can lead to a lot of misconceptions about what impacts their mental well-being.” That’s the idea be-

hind a new mental wellness campaign developed by Companies Committed to Kids (CCK), a notfor-profit that promotes kids’ social, physical, and mental health. The campaign highlights how everyday stressors in kids’ lives contribute to diminished mental wellness, and the important role parents play. “The aim was to challenge parents’ assumptions about what impacts kids’ mental well-being,” explains CCK presi-

dent, Bev Deeth. “We wanted to create a relatable, slice-oflife scenario to help parents understand how what they do and say can be beneficial or detrimental to their child’s mental health.” The campaign takes a preventative approach, offering simple tips and strategies that parents can access online at longlivekids.ca, to help support positive parent-child interactions. Deeth underscores the importance of helping parents recognize that by taking the time to really connect with their kids, they’re actually engaging in longterm mental health promotion. Dr. Craig agrees. “Parents need to understand they can buffer their kids against future mental health challenges. Where mental health is concerned, relationships matter. And when it comes to kids’ mental health, parents’ relationships with their children matter the most.” www.newscanada.com

As well as highlighting Canadian talent, The Salmon Arm Roots & Blues also makes an effort to bring local bands from around B.C. into the spotlight — and onto the stage. This year the festival welcomes three more acts that are close to home: Seal Skull Hammer, Jesse Mast and Jon and Roy. Seal Skull Hammer is a band that was born in Salmon Arm. Sprung from oncea-week summer jams on Alton Gowen’s front porch, these three melodious mountain musicians have joined forces, moving off the front porch and onto the stage. These three do-ityourselfers of the doctrinal ditty are named for the idea of using archaic tools to build what they need. The band prides itself on having the lowest-tech gear possible to make their music – giving up doctored sound effects and synthesizers for homemade instruments and hillbilly harmonies. They hope to entertain you, laugh with you and send you home feeling better than when you arrived. So put away your toil, ease your mortal coil, put your woes and worries in the slammer and listen to some Seal Skull Hammer. Jesse Mast is an 18-year-old talented homegrown singer/ songwriter. He grew up with a passion for music, listening to genres including Celtic, bluegrass, and folk. Over the past couple of years the multiaward-winning Mast has been developing his career as a Canadi-

City sees rise in home construction

Municipal building stats continue to indicate an upswing in residential development. By the end of June, the city had issued permits for the construction of 21 new single family dwellings to the tune of $6,625,837. This already exceeds the value of the 21 single-family dwellings constructed in 2013. Permits for multiple family dwellings (apartments, townhouses, etc.) have also exceeded last year’s numbers. As of June, permits have been issued covering 35 units total with a value of $3,270,000. Only two units went up last year, worth $400,000. Reviewing June’s stats, Coun. Chad Eliason said the city is also seeing significant commercial growth this year, including three Chad Eliason new projects valued at $6,350,000. “Overall, it looks like close to $10 million right now in new housing and residential housing, so that’s pretty important for our area,” Eliason commented. “That’s a lot of good jobs that support it.” Eliason said it looks as though the city will have one of its best years since 2007/08 – approaching the 2003/04 totals for building permit values of $53,000 and $66,300. “That was the start of the last economic upturn, for our housing market at least, so good to see,” he said.

The question to bear in mind, when reading this whole sorry tale, is this. If Americans are, on average, no stupider than Germans, then why are their intelligence services so stupid? After the most recent revelations about American spying in Germany, there was considerable speculation among members of the Bundestag (parliament) that Germany might “get even” by inviting US whistleblower Edward Snowden to leave his Moscow exile and come to Berlin instead. But last weekend Chancellor Angela Merkel, at her traditional pre-summer vacation press conference, rained all over that idea. “We learned things (from Snowden) that we didn’t know before, and that’s always interesting,” she said – but “granting asylum isn’t an act of gratitude.” Given that one of the things she learned from Snowden was that the US National Security Agency was bugging her mobile phone, this showed admirable restraint on her part, but even Merkel’s restraint only goes so far. Only a week before, her patience with persistent American spying, even after Snowden’s revelations, snapped quite dramatically: she ordered the US Central Intelligence Agency’s “chief of station” at the American embassy in Berlin

What is clear from all this is that the American intelligence agencies are completely out of control.

her before she visited Washington in April. And it went on paying a spy who worked for the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND - Federal Intelligence Service) right down to this month. “One can only cry at the sight of so much stupidity,” said Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, insisting that the information given to the US by the spies was of no real value. That’s probably true – yet the American controllers paid their spy in the BND almost $40,000 in cash

ly monitored by the German intelligence service. What is clear from all this is that the American intelligence agencies are completely out of control. They are so powerful that even after the revelations of massive abuse in the past year very few politicians in Washington dare to support radical cuts in their budgets or the scope of their operations. They collect preposterous amounts of irrelevant information, alienating friends and allies and abusing the civil rights of their own citizens in the process. The German intelligence agency (there’s only one) doesn’t behave like that. It chooses its targets carefully, it operates within the law, and it doesn’t spy on allies. Why the big difference? It’s because the annual budget of the Bundesnachrichtendienst is just under $1 billion, and it employs only 6,000 people. The United States has only five times as many people as Germany, but its “intelligence community” includes 17 agencies with a total budget of $80 billion dollars. There are 854,000 Americans with top-secret security clearances. The American intelligence community grew fat and prospered through four decades of Cold War and two more decades of the “War on Terror.” It is now so big, so rich, so powerful that it can do practically anything it wants. And often it does stuff just because it can, even if it’s totally counter-productive.

for 218 secret German documents downloaded to computer memory sticks and handed over at secret locations in Austria. Some of those secret documents were even about the discussions of the German parliamentary committee that was investigating the earlier American spying efforts, including the bugging of Chancellor Merkel’s phone. The American spy agencies simply don’t know how to stop spying, even when they have been caught redhanded. They only got away with such brazen behaviour for so long because the Germans naively trusted them. The spy from the BND, for example, simply sent the US embassy an email asking if they were interested in “cooperation.” The German authorities didn’t pick up on it because they didn’t monitor even the uncoded communications of a “friendly” embassy. The spy was caught only when he got greedy and sent a similar email to the Russian embassy. Russian communications are monitored as a matter of course in all Western countries, so the German authorities put the spy under surveillance, and almost immediately they discovered that he was already selling his information to the Americans. “We must focus more strongly on our so-called allies,” said Stephan Mayer, a security spokesman of Chancellor Merkel’s Christian Democratic Party, and one of the first consequences will be the cancellation of Germany’s “no-spy” agreement with the United States. In future, US activities in Germany will be close-

German media reports stressed that such drastic action had only been taken previously when dealing with “pariah states like North Korea or Iran.” Clemens Binninger, the chair of the parliamentary committee that oversees the German intelligence service, explained that the action came in response to the US “failure to co-operate on resolving various allegations, starting with the NSA and up to the latest incidents.” The “latest incidents” were the arrest of two German citizens, accused of spying for the US – whose key contact was the CIA station chief in Berlin. The United States has never formally apologised for tapping Merkel’s phone. It refused to give her access to the NSA file on

Keep illness off your summer menu LIVING WELL It’s the time of year when many of us enjoy cooking outdoors - in parks, campgrounds and backyards. This pleasurable summer pastime of casual dining also provides ideal conditions for outbreaks of food-borne illness. Food-borne illness peaks during the months of May through September because of barbecuing and outdoor eating. E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter are examples of some of the many bacteria related to handling raw meats and other perishable food items. That’s why it’s vital to be sure items are refrigerated, well cooked and handled with care. Outdoor chefs should keep food safety in mind as they are preparing summer feasts. These four words can help you reduce the risk: Clean: Wash your hands with soap and warm water before and after handling food. Wash all dishes, cutting boards and counters with hot soapy water. A spray bottle containing 1/2 tsp. of chlorine bleach per litre of water can be used to sanitize these items.

Separate: Keep raw foods away from cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination. Store raw meat at the bottom of the fridge or cooler to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods. Always use a clean plate when taking cooked meat off the barbecue. Cook: Properly cooking food will kill harmful bacteria. Cook

all meat to the appropriate internal temperature – see Health Canada’s Safe Internal Cooking Temperatures chart (http://www. healthycanadians. gc.ca/eating-nutrition/ safety-salubrite/cooktemperatures-cuissoneng.php) for more details. Use a digital food thermometer to measure the inside temperature of cooked meats. Once cooked, keep hot foods at 60ºC or hotter until ready to serve. Chill: Always thaw meat in the fridge, microwave, or under cold running water – never

at room temperature. Do not let cooked food sit out at room temperature or in the sun for more than two hours. Cool any leftovers right away. Finally, keep cold foods cold at 4ºC or lower. For more tips, go to Interior Health’s website for the Life Begins at 40 degrees brochure or Health Canada’s Summer Food Safety Tips online. –The author, Kevin Touchet, is the manager of Environmental Health with Interior Health .

Franson reaches deal with Leafs By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Cody Franson’s future is no longer an unknown following the signing of another one-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Leafs VP and general manager David Nonis announced on Monday that the club had agreed to terms with the 26-year-old dman for his third oneyear contract with the team, this one valued at $3.3 million US. The last-minute deal kept the two sides from going into arbitration. “Toronto is obvious-

ly where I want to be,” he said in a conference call with reporters on Monday. Franson’s contract has been in limbo since last summer when his previous contract, worth $2 million US, came to and end, leaving him a restricted free agent. Franson was rumoured to be looking for more than $4 million a season. The Leafs, however, were said to have about $6 million to spend, prior to penning a one-year deal valued at $2 million with teammate Mark Fraser. The stalemate between the Leafs and

Cody Franson Franson led to speculation the team may look to trade the 6’5”, 213-lb. Sicamous product. “I’m always hopeful there wasn’t a ton of truth to all those rumours. But it’s business,” said Franson. Franson played 322 career NHL games with Toronto and the

Nashville Predators, posting 28 goals, 105 assists, 133 points, 106 minutes in penalties and a plus-eight rating. He was acquired by the Leafs along with Matthew Lombardi from the Predators in 2011. He was originally selected by Nashville in the third round, 79th overall, in the 2005 Entry Draft. On the heels of the recent Sicamous Shootout, Franson and fellow NHL’er Shea Weber will be back in Sicamous between Aug. 10 to 17 to once again participate in the annual Sicamous Hockey School.

Efforts to begin the revitalization of Hudson Avenue between Ross and Sixth streets has begun well under budget. At city staff’s recommendation, council has awarded Onsite Engineering Ltd. a $19,000 contract for engineering design services related to the Hudson Avenue NE revitalization project, which would upgrade the south side of Hudson between Ross Street and Sixth Street, and the west side of Sixth from Hudson to the Trans-Canada Highway up to the current city centre standard (lighting, paving stones, etc.). “The project will require expert co-ordination with the businesses, utilities and the city,” notes city engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen in a memo to council. He told council that BC Hydro is already working closely with the city. The memo states the city budgeted $40,000 for this project. In response to the request for proposals, the city received 10 submissions, with proposed budgets ranging from $17,670 to $53,766. Onsite’s was the second lowest, though the memo notes the proposals were evaluated on pricing, as well as experience, past performance and respective project teams. Onsite has offices throughout the province, with its head office in Salmon Arm. The company expects to have projected costs and design work completed by the end of September.

Chase man killed in collision A man died in a vehicle accident on Highway 1, just west of Pritchard, at approximately 12:02 a.m. Thursday, July 17. The BC Coroners Service has confirmed his identity as John Findlay Linklater, age 58, of Chase. Linklater was the driver and sole occupant of a small pickup truck which was heading east on Highway 1 just after midnight on Thursday, July 17. Police report that the truck crossed over the centre line and collided with an oncoming semi truck/trailer unit travel-

RCMP R e P o RT ling west. Chase RCMP and the BC Ambulance Service arrived on scene and located the driver of the pickup, who had died from injuries suffered in the collision. The driver of the semi unit was not injured. Both vehicles sustained significant damage and the highway was closed for more than four hours to accommodate the

RCMP collision analyst. The BC Coroners Service was on scene as well as the Pritchard Volunteer Fire Department. The cause of the fatal collision is not known, but neither speed nor impairment are suspected. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate this death.

Segway theft After having eight segways stolen in May, Shuswap Unique Adventure Tours is ready

to open for business again. The segways, which were secured in a horse trailer, were stolen from the Scotch Creek compound on the evening of May 29, resulting in an estimated $60,000 loss. Company owner Barb Rivest says they’ve been back in business for the past week now, and everything has returned to normal. “There’s obviously been a financial loss but I had some insurance which has really helped out,” said Rivest. Rivest had to replace a number of the

segways, but her horse trailer was luckily recovered by the Chase RCMP.

It’s thanks but no thanks in the case of a would-be Anglemont land donation. Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors have had to respectfully decline an offer by Robert and Evelyn Isley of one hectare of land to accommodate the future

relocation of the firehall in Anglemont. In December 2012, the board accepted the donation, subject to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) not requiring the regional district to become a diking authority for nearby Ross Creek. Ross Creek flows in a southwesterly direction north of the property, which is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve adjacent

to Squilax-Anglemont Road. But MOTI did not approve subdivision of the Isley’s property based on potential flooding hazards that exist with the creek. The ministry provided the opportunity for CSRD to hire a qualified professional to study the watershed and develop recommendations, but Gary Holte, interim team leader of Community Services, recom-

mended the board not accept the land donation. Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan told directors he had spoken to the Isleys and the Anglemont fire chief. “I think everyone understands and is willing to put this on the back burner,” he said. “They will likely look for an alternate site.”

ber will be his fifth. The 10 students selected to go on the trip spend their time installing lights and electrical panels on houses in communities in need. As well as learning hands-on electrical work, students also stay in the communities and get a real feel for Mexican culture. “It’s a learning trip,” said Mcintyre. “After the trip the students get a sense of themselves and their worlds change, their minds open to a certain degree.” Mcintyre says he’s had great feedback

from the students and it’s something he would like to continue doing.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Buying locally creates a more closely knit community. Juggling a career and a family can make it hard for men and women to get to know their neighbors and other members of their community. Buying locally is an opportunity to strengthen that bond with your neighbors, creating a close knit community in which residents may feel safer and more comfortable.

Benefits of shopping locally

199ea.

Buying locally is more convenient. Convenience is paramount to many consumers, and buying locally saves both time and money. Driving to a faraway mall or shopping center or paying costly online shipping fees is not nearly as quick or convenient as shopping within your community, where you can purchase and take home items on the same day without using a full tank of gas or paying for shipping.

The best way to get peakseason produce is to buy items that come from local providers.

Restaurants that team up with local food suppliers offer a double-dose of regional commerce and fresher ingredients. If you’re new to the area, browse the local newspaper to find dining establishments in your area.
