Cottonwoods sparks few concerns By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

A public hearing on the Cottonwoods Family Campground in Lee Creek was an uneventful affair. Both developer Greg Darroch and Columbia Shuswap Regional District senior planner Dan Passmore said they believe the light turnout – just nine people – is indicative of homework well done by both parties. “Most of them were in favour,” says Passmore. “A couple who

owned a house across the lake expressed concerns about boat traffic increase. They have a boathouse on the shoreline that’s being damaged.” But Passmore noted boating activity on the lake is not new and has nothing to do with the regional district, being under the jurisdiction of Nav Canada, the RCMP and Transport Canada. He says he is unaware of speed restrictions on the lake and if the boathouse is built right on the lake, it is likely going to be affected by boats during a time of high water.

“Cottonwoods is not responsible for all the boat action; there’s marinas, Little Shuswap River, all sorts of sources of traffic,” Passmore says, noting the rest of the public hearing was uneventful. New owner Darroch asked for a redesignation of the site from waterfront residential to secondary settlement area – commercial, and a rezoning from commercial 1 to comprehensive development. This will allow him to redevelop and expand the existing campground, and will permit subdivision

of recreational vehicle spaces into bare land strata lots. Darroch says 12 campsites will be kept for campers to reserve and rent as they do now. Passmore said another woman at the hearing expressed concerns about how the project fits Lee Creek’s new secondary settlement area (SSA) designation but did not speak against the proposal. “Her concern was these are not going to be full-time residents,

n Vacationers fill the campsites at the Cottonwoods Family Campground while boats are moored at the mouth of the lagoon.

Staff recommend approval Continued from front which would increase the population of Lee Creek and lead to better services,” he said, pointing out SSA supports Darroch in such commercial ventures as renting canoes and kayaks and selling fast food, perhaps in a café, and operating a souvenir shop. There will be no fuel sales and Darroch will operate a recreational dryland boat storage on-site. “No boats will be left in the lake,” Passmore says. “You leave, the

boat comes out. It’s only in the lake when you’re using it.” Passmore says Darroch’s proposal will be presented to CSRD directors for third reading at the August board meeting. “To this point my recommendation is in support of third reading and adoption. He has really helped the process along by being co-operative and doing the necessary work to make sure no real headaches occur,” Passmore says. “I think it really points to the type of development the residents of Shuswap Lake

can get behind, that is going to be less of an imposition on the habitat and accomplishes the need of economic development, teaches people about the unique ecosystems we have and points to how the planning process can foster development that meets the needs of residents and commercial interests.” Darroch, meanwhile, said he too is pleased with the “up-front” development process with the regional district staff and the public hearing and is looking forward to the August board meeting.

Bluegrass & Old-Time Music

Salmon Arm RCMP were kept hopping over the August long weekend. Among police calls were two motor-vehicle crashes. In the early afternoon Monday, four occupants of a vehicle – two children, a man and a woman – were able to walk away from a crash which appeared to destroy their vehicle. Their vehicle was heading east near the Trickle Inn in Tappen when the driver may have fallen asleep. The car crossed the centre line and slid down an embankment, landing between two trees. The family was able to walk away from the crash, apparently suffering no serious injuries. At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2, three vehicles collided at the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 97B. Police report the driver of one vehicle had attempted to turn left off the Trans-Canada onto Highway 97B, but failed to yield to traffic. It was struck by an eastbound vehicle on Highway 1. The force of the collision caused these vehicles to strike a third one passing through the intersection. Police say all occupants suffered injuries, none of which were believed to be life threatening. One injured person was transported to hospital in Kamloops.

More than 200 fires burning

Smoke: ministry issues advisory for most of B.C. By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

As of Wednesday, a no-fire ring around Salmon Arm was intact. But the pall of smoke infiltrating the Shuswap resulted in a ‘Smoky Skies Advisory’ from the Ministry of Environment on Aug. 6. The advisory, covering much of the Southern Interior and the northern portion of the province, notes smoke concentrations vary widely because of winds, fire behaviour and temperature changes. Thunderstorms that circulated around the Southern Interior over the weekend sparked several fires but gave most of the Shuswap a miss. “Over the weekend, when we put up Environment Canada radar, you could see all the storms circulating well out of Salmon Arm,” said fire protection officer Larry Osachoff Tuesday morning. “It was just like we

were the centre of the storm; it was a very unusual long weekend, the storms were very localized, not the massive systems that usually come through.” Lightning from an Aug. 2 storm sparked two fires north of Seymour Arm: one was worked on by a four-person crew for two days and, as of Tuesday, was in the patrol stage. The other remote fire had a five-person crew working on it Monday. “The fuel type is heavy cedar and hemlock – big heavy wood that burns really well and creates longer mop-up,” says Osachoff. Wildfire officials cautioned that Salmon Arm’s luck in escaping wildfires this summer could be broken with the possibility of lightning accompanied by very little rain in the forecast for the week. Wildfire Management Branch officials continue to call for extreme caution, particularly with growing concerns about having insufficient personnel to com-

bat the more than 222 wildfires burning in the province. In the last month, crews from Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have provided assistance. And Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson announced Wednesday that a contingent of specialized wildfire personnel from Australia will be coming to B.C. to assist with wildfire response. About 80 personnel are scheduled to arrive in Vancouver in several groups from Saturday, Aug. 9 through Monday, Aug. 11. Deployed throughout the province based on current and anticipated wildfire activity, the Australians could remain in B.C. for up to five weeks. Wildfire officials continue to ask people to be vigilant and to report any smoke or fire to 1-800-663-5555 or call *5555 toll free on most cellular networks. Alternately, you can report a wildfire to 9-1-1.

Hall upgrade delayed By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Renovations planned for the Sunnybrae Community Hall have been put on hold following complaints about the proposal for a makeover. At the July 17 board meeting in Salmon Arm, Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors approved $30,625 from the Electoral Area C South Shuswap Community Works Fund to replace the hall’s existing furnace, air conditioning unit, hot water heater and window coverings. Current community association president Sharda Murray-Kieken made the request for the funds in a June 27 letter to Electoral Area C director Paul Demenok, saying the renovations would “substantially reduce our natural gas and electricity demands…, make the hall more efficient and reduce our costs, which have been steadily increasing over the past years.” But, former Sunnybrae Community Hall official Opal Hendrickson cried foul on the proposal. “As a past secretary for the Sunnybrae Community Association, I kept some copies of records and minutes from the most important issues during the time I was on the board,” wrote Hendrickson in a July 30 email to this newspaper, noting the furnace was replaced in October 2009 and the air conditioner was installed in March of 2010. The minutes from a Nov. 25, 2009 general meeting of the association indicate a new furnace was installed at a cost of $5,545. Hendrickson says the air conditioner was installed with funding from a general account. “We had a General Account which contained money from fundraising events and rentals and a Lottery Account which contained the grant money,” wrote Hendrickson. “The furnace was

CSRD Financial Services manager Jodi Kooistra says the $5,545 approval for the furnace was given when the late Ted Bacigalupo was Area C director. Further complicating the issue is the fact the regional district retains documents for five years after which they are destroyed, a practice Kooistra says is common with other regional districts. She says MurrayKieken was told by another company that the furnace makes a lot of noise because it is improperly installed – the centre of the building is very warm but the extremities are cold. In addition, the hot water tank was not properly sized or located, says Kooistra, pointing out it impedes access to the crawl space in the hall, is huge and keeps the hot water heated 24-7 when the hall is only being used a half-dozen times a month. “Also, the duct work is not properly aligned with the furnace in her (Murray-Kieken’s) opinion and the opinion of the company who has bid on the project now,” says Kooistra. Murray-Kieken will arrange for a building inspection to see whether the work needs to be done. “It’s almost like a mini energy audit by an independent third party who has no vested interest in whether the work gets done or not,” says Kooistra. “And the reason I suggested that is so it’s clear it’s

transparent and nobody will profit by this. Then we will have a clear, valid opinion and determine whether the

upgrades are necessary and whether or not they meet the requirements of the community works fund.”

Surveying immigrants in the Shuswap area Did you know that more than 1,000 Salmon Arm residents were born outside of Canada? They represent more than 30 countries, and came from places as close as the U.S. and as far away as Chile, South Africa, Australia and Nepal. Immigrant Services Shuswap is conducting a survey of the immigrant community in the Salmon Arm area in order to gain a better understanding of the characteristics of this important part of our community. Another goal of the survey is to learn more about the needs of immigrants and temporary foreign workers in the area. Information gathered will be used to support applications for funding to run programs that address those needs. This survey is for anyone who came from another country to live or to work in Canada, even those who have been here for as long as 60 years, including people who have become

Canadian citizens. Immigrant Services Shuswap is a non-profit organization that provides free services to newcomers to Canada. These services include support adapting to daily life in Canada, help filling out applications and assistance making connections in the community. “Immigrants play an important role in the local economy. How well we can address their needs determines whether they stay and integrate into the local community or move on to other, more supportive communities,” says Joaquim Camps, who is in charge of conducting the survey. The survey is available at the Immigrant Services Shuswap website at www.welcomeshuswap.com. People who prefer to complete the paper version are invited to visit the new settlement office at 371 Hudson Avenue (across from the post office) in Salmon Arm or phone 250-804-2726.

New bridge on forest service road Scotch Creek Forest Service Road is getting upgrades, and is closed for 10 days. To Aug. 15, at the 11km mark, Canoe Forest Products has announced

Alternate access is available via road systems through Lamberston Pass, Scotch Creek and Adams Lake. For information, call 250833-1242.

BC government steals joy from happy hour Only in B.C. could the provincial government introduce a happy hour that only serves to make people unhappy. When the B.C. Liberal government announced plans to liberalize alcohol laws, one of the moves was to create a happy hour as British Columbia was one of the only jurisdictions in North America without one. Any other province or state in North America uses happy hour to discount the cost of drinks and food during traditionally slower time periods of the day. The theory is a cheaper pint to go with a cheeseburger will bring in customers who otherwise might not walk through the door. In B.C., however, Premier Christy Clark and John Yap, parliamentary secretary for liquor policy reform, managed to hike the cost of booze – not only during happy hour, but all day long. Some have called the pair incompetent, while others have suggested a tax grab (government will realize more tax revenue from higher prices) or a plan to appease larger bars who support the B.C. Liberals. By introducing the new minimum pricing – which sets a pint of beer at $5 – the theory goes, some smaller venues that were offering pints for less will now have to compete with bigger chains by offering identical prices. Whether incompetent or devious, the B.C. Liberals’ happy hour is a horror. It takes more money from the taxpayer and puts more money in government coffers. And this from an party that professes to allow the market set the price.

OPINION

How to attract fish, not scare them For the past 10 years or so I have concentrated most of my fishing efforts on a number of what could best be described as smaller Interior lakes. Most are within a few hours drive. I enjoy fishing each of these little lakes, in part because I do not need anything larger than my little 12-foot aluminum Mirrocraft, and because I have discovered that each lake represents a whole plethora of different types of fishing opportunities at different times of the year. Some are what I call my ‘spring lakes,’ not because they have great chironomid hatches, but rather because they have a number of other insect hatches, including both caddis and mayfly, that extend from the end of May – when I usually begin to head out fishing – all the way to the later part of June. Several others are higher in elevation and allow me to fish through the dog days of summer. My favourite, however, is one that I like to fish in late summer and early fall. It is a shallow, little lake with fallen trees along

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray most of its shoreline. There are two distinctly different weed beds, one on either side of an island at the far end. These weed beds are inhabited by a multitude of sub-aquatic insects. Rising out of its dark, stained waters are a number of deadfalls that make it dangerous to fish when the sun has gone down, but also make it interesting to cast when the fish are actively feeding in the failing light. I have spent a fair amount of time casting a line to fish in each of these lakes and, in the process, have learned specific things about each lake. Perhaps I have learned the most about my favourite lake and that is why it is my favourite.

Learning how to read the waters of any lake requires more than having an understanding of lake structure and the ability to identify fish-holding waters. Such a skill is achieved by making countless observations over time and then, and only then, being able to put all those little bits of information together in order to make a calculated guess. Fish are relatively opportunistic feeders. They can also be quite selective. By their very nature, they are relatively wary creatures and, while fish are constantly seeking food, they are also continually seeking protection from anything that might be inclined to feed on them. Fallen trees, weed beds, sunken islands and the marl at the bottom of the lake all provide protective cover for both subaquatic insects and forage fish. Which means that these areas are also prime hunting grounds for larger fish looking for something to eat. Fish will also often cruise the shallows along the shore-line after sunset when they can swim about freely

under the cover of fading light. Creek mouths, where the surface of the water is broken by moving water entering the lake, are also a favourite spot for fish to hold while waiting for food to come their way. Knowing how to read the waters is important – it can help put you in the right place at the right time of the day and season to present your fly. After that, I guess it’s pretty much a matter of presenting your imitation fly pattern in such a manner as to attract fish rather than scare them away. Presentation is important, as is choosing the right fly. I may not be the most scientific angler. I certainly do not claim to know the scientific names of most of the insects represented in my fly box. What I do know is that if the fish are feeding on some sort of small, pale green-coloured insect with mottled wings, it doesn’t really matter what its scientific name is as long I have something that closely resembles it in my fly box. Who says I’m a slow learner?

hour cease-fire was broken within an hour. The UN and U.S. gave assurance to Israel. Hamas uses cease-fires to continue firing rockets. Israel has every right to defend itself. Hamas kidnapped and killed three Israeli students. What about the close to 40 terror tunnels dug by Hamas from the uncontrolled Gaza strip, ready for a mass genocide attack of thousands of unsuspecting Israelis.

Proud Supporters of the Shuswap S.P.C.A

Salmon Arm RONA

Explosives were placed under kindergartens. The mass murders were to have taken place on a Jewish High Holiday. The known cost of the deadly infrastructure, each tunnel upwards to a $ million. The tunnels were stocked with handcuffs, syringes, ropes, explosives and other material to subdue abductees. It is believed that Iran and Syria supplied the money to build the tunnels. B.C.S.P.C.A. (Shuswap)

Palestinians don’t want peace. They want Israel wiped off the map. Israel protects its citizens, Hamas puts theirs into the crossfires. Sadly it is always the innocent children who suffer for the atrocities of ruthless, murderous leaders. Kudos to Prime Minister Harper for coming to the defence of Israel. Hildegard Krieg

SOUTH SHUSWAP

Lake studies underway The White Lake Residents Association (WLRA) appreciatesForests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson for approving the funding to kick start the studies needed in White Lake to help identify the issues involved with the fish. There are 12 other lakes that will also be studied as they share some of the same problems. Six of those lakes will be comparison lakes that will help provide baselines of the changes. Thompson Rivers University (TRU) biologist Brian Heise and an associate started the first study on White Lake on July 1. The WLRA has been collecting stomach samples from different zones within the lake since the early spring and provided TRU with about 200 to the end of June. Recently another 75 were sent in for the month of July. Following the food source will provide important data as to the health of the food chain and offer information toward any changes in the food chain. The WLRA will be surveying anglers throughout the winter and collecting samples. The association is pleased to be working with Fisheries

and looks forward to a long-term relationship. The WLRA is pleased to announce that paperwork has been started on a permit to allow the WLRA to manage the spawning area at White Lake. A tentative date is being set to start brushing out the trails at the spawning beds on Cedar Creek. Under BC Parks supervision, the WLRA, with volunteer help, will rehab the existing trails to allow the public to once again view nature in action. Plans are being made to replace existing rails, information boards and signs that have decayed and failed. An inventory of other needed improvements will be taken. The intention is to have areas available for next spring’s spawn. Thanks to CSRD funding, the WLRA will provide information boards at all White Lake mailbox sites. These boards are meant to assist residents with updates, events and any other items of community interest. A spot is provided for residents to share information and post adds, etc. We hope to have all the boards in

Input sought on area parks plan

The Area C Parks Plan will be updated this year as the previous plan is now 10 years old, and has largely been implemented. Development of the new plan will include obtaining substantial public input as there will be numerous door-to-door interviews conducted with Area C residents and visitors by students from Thompson Rivers University, under the direction of a faculty member and an external consultant. Parks is one of the

most significant expenditures made in Area C by the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, with about $600,000 allocated in the 2014 budget. This expenditure funds an impressive public resource for Area C residents with more than 82 hectares designated as park. There are 26 parks in Area C including 11 waterfront parks, a mountain bike park at White Lake and a water spray park in Sorrento. The CSRD also partners with the Shuswap Trail Alliance to build and operate a number of trails in Area C open for hiking, biking and horseback riding. In the South Shuswap there are 21 trails which total more than 160 kilometers in length. In the Skimikin and Blind Bay/White Lake areas more than 70 km of

these trails are equestrian-friendly; more than 40 km are mountain bike-friendly including the outstanding John Evdokimoff mountain bike park. Cyclists can also enjoy 276 km of cycling in Area C as outlined in the excellent Shuswap Cycling Guide put out by Shuswap Tourism. The purpose of the new parks plan evaluation for Area C includes: • Updating the inventory of recreational assets in our area • Identifying current use of recreational sites and infrastructure in the region • Providing guidance for identification and prioritization of recreation opportunities such that these provide residents with adequate access to recreation opportunities and encour-

ages their participation into the future. This planning process will provide the Area C Parks Commission and CSRD Parks staff with a needs assessment of recreation in Area C, an update to the Parks Plan in the context of recreational use and opportunities, and findings that will help guide priorities in the years to come. The plan is to conduct door-to-door interviews with a statistically significant sample of the 3,400 households in Area C this summer. I strongly encourage all residents and visitors of Area C to actively participate in the process, and to provide us with your opinions and suggestions about how we can best upgrade and manage this critical resource. Please take a few minutes to discuss

your thoughts when you see the TRU student at your door. On behalf of the residents in the Eagle Bay area, I would like take this opportunity to thank the parks staff at the CSRD for the excellent improvements made at Whitehead Road, Gail Road and Shannon Beach parks.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Improper barbecuing can increase your risk of food poisoning (NC) Warmer temperatures, direct sunlight and improper food handling practices can put us in the danger zone for food poisoning. Follow these tips to help make your next barbecue a safe one. Shop smart. Buy meat at the end of your shopping trip. Store meat in separate bags and bring a cooler with ice for longer trips. Keep coolers out of direct sunlight and their contents at 4 °C/40 °F or lower. Bacteria can grow above this temperature and ruin food in as little as one hour. Store wisely. Refrigerate meat as soon as you get home. Freeze ground beef that won’t be used within one to two days, raw poultry within two or three days and other raw meats within two to four days. Marinate meat in the fridge and never consume leftover marinades that have touched uncooked meat. Avoid cross-contamination. Keep raw meat away from

other foods, including vegetables like lettuce and tomatoes. Use separate utensils, cutting boards, dishes and other cooking equipment when handling raw and cooked meats. Never place cooked meat on the same plate used to bring the raw meat to the BBQ and use a clean spatula or pair of tongs to handle

the cooked meat. Defrost carefully. Always thaw meat in the fridge, in cold water or in the microwave, but not on the counter. If thawing in cold water, packaging should be sealed. Microwave defrosting is acceptable if the food item is placed immediately on the grill. Meat should be

completely thawed before grilling so that it cooks more evenly. Cook to a safe internal temperature. Bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella and campylobacter are killed by heat. Meat, poultry and seafood must be cooked to a safe internal temperature, which can be checked easily with a digital

food thermometer. Health Canada has posted safe cooking temperatures at canada.ca/health. Clean. Wash your hands, your cooking equipment, utensils and surfaces with warm, soapy water. Keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Keep cooked meats hot by setting them to the side of the grill, not directly over coals or lit burners, where they can overcook. Store salads and other cold foods in the fridge or in a cooler with ice packs until served. Every year, more than four million Canadians get some kind of foodborne illness. Some of these can be dangerous or even fatal, especially for children five and under, adults 60 and over, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. Be sure to keep your family safe by following these tips. Health Canada has posted more information at canada. ca/health. www.newscanada.com

Good old days not so good for everyone LIVING WELL The 1950s in North America are often referred to as the “good old days.” The economy had recovered from the Depression and the Second World War. Society was redefining what a family should look and act like. Life seemed to be good. In retrospect, the 1950s may have been the turning point towards the unhealthy society we live in today. Obesity was one of the top leading causes of death in 2013. Two of the major contributing factors to obesity are physical inactivity and poor nutrition – and both are modifiable behaviors. As people moved to the suburbs, they were no longer able to walk to work. Their new commute involved driving to work – a sedentary activity. Another contributor to physical inactivity originating in the 1950s was the introduction of television. Children, who were once entertained outdoors by running and playing, were now watching television and

other screens for entertainment – another sedentary activity. Prepared food and fast food were also becoming more refined during the 1950s in order to give people access to easy and quick food options. Society began to portray these easy options as the best and most sophisticated options; people who stayed true to the root of food production were often viewed as lower class. Medical professionals and the media even went as far as saying that breastfeeding was old-fashioned and instead promoted the use of infant formula. Today we know that fast and prepared foods are often void of key nutrients and loaded with unhealthy, often artificial, ingredients. We are now shifting back to the basics, encouraging people to find out where their food comes from and how it is produced. Breastfeeding is no longer seen as old-fashioned; it is now strongly encouraged by medical professionals because we know it is the safest

and healthiest option a woman can give her child. We are starting to embrace and encourage active living. Children are being encouraged to

cling, transit and carpooling. Municipalities are working on building healthier communities by creating multiuse pathways, bike lanes, and promoting commu-

sustainable society for ourselves and future generations. - Tanya Osborne is a community health facilitator with Interior Health.

Duo weaves music from many genres By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Emily Frantz and Andrew Marlin make beautiful music together. The pair met at a bluegrass jam in 2009, joined forces in their personal lives and onstage as Mandolin Orange and will bring their acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin and fiddle to Roots and Blues. When they met, the couple were playing mainly traditional bluegrass and old-time tunes, says Frantz, who plays the fiddle. As they grew together as a musical duo, the couple began to play more of Marlin’s original work weaving a sound that combines bluegrass, rock and country. “Andrew writes the lyrics and tunes and then we figure out who’s going to sing and who plays what,” Frantz says. “We just sort out the format of the song.” Marlin, who has been writing songs since he was 14, gets his inspiration from anywhere and everywhere. The 27-year-old artists from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, recently rocked the prestigious Newport Folk Festival, where a writer from The Bluegrass Situation applauded their “gentle harmonies and remarkable sound and songwriting skills that have matured and prepared them for stages far beyond Carolina.” High praise indeed for a pair who have had little formal training.

Do you need a bookkeeper?

“I did the Suzuki method as a kid and got into bluegrass in the middle of high school,” says Frantz, noting Marlin is entirely self-taught and honed his guitar skills during a hard-core, heavy metal rock phase. Calling their appearance at Newport a huge honour and a boost to their self-confidence, Frantz says their success has been built on hard work. “It has been a really gradual building process, playing anywhere we could at local bars and open mics and evolved into ticketed shows,” she says, of the duo’s encouraging, steady growth. Incredibly self-motivated, Frantz says she and Marlin have been fortunate in gradually adding a supportive and committed team and finding a great record label. “There was a phase when we felt if big things don’t happen they’re not going to,” she says, pointing out the couple celebrate the “little victories. “We have more festivals than we’ve ever had and we’re doing a lot more reputable ones this summer. That lights a fire under us in a good way – it makes us motivated to do more.” Looking forward to an appearance at the Edmonton Folk Festival this weekend and next week’s Roots and Blues, Frantz says the couple has heard Canadian festivals are legendary and that artists are treated well.

‘Boil water’ finally over

Anglemont: 2005 order rescinded, open house Aug. 15. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District and Interior Health announced they were thrilled to finally rescind the boil water advisory for the users of the Anglemont Estates Water System. The change took place Friday, Aug. 1. In a news release, the CSRD notes recent water quality tests have shown the water to be safe for consumption. The boil water notice has been in place since June 16, 2005, due to inadequate disinfection, treatment and bacteriological contamination of the water, along with an aging and failing water system. The CSRD, through its Water System Acquisition Strategy, has since invested $9.8 million to complete substantial upgrades to the Anglemont Estates Water System. The federal and provincial

governments contributed $3 million from the General Strategic Priorities Fund as part of their commitment to support upgrades to water systems in B.C. In 2012, the residents of Anglemont Estates, in a referendum, voted overwhelmingly in favour of the CSRD acquiring the water system and borrowing $6.8 million to complete the required upgrades. The CSRD states residents of Anglemont Estates should be praised for their support and understanding throughout this very substantial and disruptive upgrade. “This is an exciting day for residents of Anglemont and the regional district. Clean and reliable drinking water is important not only for area residents, but for the economic growth and long-term prosperity of our communities” said Larry Morgan, CSRD Electoral Area F

Director. The CSRD is hosting an open house at the newly constructed water treatment facility in Anglemont on Aug. 15 and all community members are invited to attend. “The water quality provided through the upgraded water system goes a long way to protect the health and safety of local residents and visitors. The CSRD and the local residents commitment to clean, safe and reliable drinking water should be commended,” added Rob Fleming, health protection team leader with Interior Health. “Rescinding one of the longer standing boil water advisories in British Columbia is a really great day.” For further information, contact the CSRD toll free at 1-888248-2773, or visit the CSRD website at www.csrd.bc.ca.

How parks came to be

The Shuswap is fortunate to have so many unique and diverse regional district parks, from trails to playgrounds, beaches, bike parks, campgrounds and conservation areas. But this was not always the case, as it took a fair amount of advocacy efforts, followed by public consultation and planning to create the impressive park system that we enjoy and appreciate now. One of the catalysts to the development of the system was the effort to halt the proposed clear-cutting of the Blind Bay hills and above Gardom Lake. Early in the year 2000, plans were released by the then Small Business Program to clear-cut log large blocks on the hillside directly above the community and residents were outraged. The Shuswap Environmental Action Society (SEAS) became involved by launching a major campaign that included petitions, brochures and advertisements. In response to the outcry, the forest service delayed their plans and organized a working group of concerned citizens to provide advice on a revised plan. In the meantime, SEAS also campaigned for a regional district park to protect the hillsides. The provincial land use planning process had looked at the area but it was rejected for potential provincial park status because the

tion was tabled until the January meeting to provide time to hear from the forest service, which later denied the request. Prior to the presentation, the CSRD had begun looking at the SHUSWAP concept of a parks sysPASSION tem and had assigned a planner to investigate Jim Cooperman potential sites. SEAS urged the directors to area lacked provincially expedite the process and significant attributes. In they did.

gram, as residents are only too happy to provide the taxes needed. The situation was somewhat the reverse in the North Shuswap, where some residents opposed the parks plan and circulated a petition in 2005 with erroneous claims of high tax costs and calling it to be nixed. Once again citizens had to rally to support the parks program by presenting a brief to the CSRD, which pointed out, “A park system will help to instill pride in our region and responsibility for public places, and will help to foster greater respect for nature and for community values... Parks help to promote healthy and active lifestyles, either through team sports or simply walking and hiking.” Thankfully, the CSRD maintained its commitment and moved forward to create the well-used and appreciated park system we all enjoy today. Although the budget remains the smallest in the North Shuswap, some excellent improvements to infrastructure have been made and more work continues. And throughout the Shuswap, thousands of residents utilize the many regional district trails, campsites, beaches and playing fields thanks to the efforts of CSRD directors and staff and local citizens who began advocating for parks 14 years ago.

Legacy of First World War “It was not worth even one life,” said Harry Patch shortly before he died in 2009 at the age of 111. He was the last survivor of the 65 million soldiers who fought in the First World War, and by the time he died it was a normal, quite unremarkable thing to say. But he would never have said it in 1914. Very few people thought that war was a bad thing in 1914. Losing a war could be a bad thing, but the obvious solution to that problem was to be very good at war. Human beings had always fought wars, military values were deeply embedded in our culture and nobody expected those attitudes to change. And then they did change. The First World War was a human tragedy, of course, but this was when the human race began to question the whole institution of war: how useful it is, but also how inevitable it really is. And the answer to both questions is: not very. The thing most people miss about the First World War is that it was a perfectly normal political event. Ever since the rise of modern centralised states in 16th-century Europe, they had all gone to war with each other in two big alliances at around half-century intervals. The wars were effectively about everything: borders in Europe, trade routes, colonies in Asia, Africa and the Americas. The great powers fought other, littler wars as well, but these big events – the 30 Years’ War, the War of the Spanish Succession, the Seven Years’ War and so on – were like a general audit of their status. Who’s up, and who’s down? Who can expand, and who must yield? It was a perfectly viable system, because the wars mostly involved small professional armies and did not disturb civilian populations much. The casualties were low, and hardly any major

GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer player ever crashed out of the system entirely. Naturally enough, most people did not see this system as a problem that had to be solved. It was just another fact of life. The only diplomatic difference in 1914 was that the great powers co-ordinated their moves better than before. Almost all of them were at war in a few days, where it would have taken months or even a few years in the old days. The armies could move quickly to the frontiers by rail, so now you created your alliances Before the war – and everybody had the telegraph, so the final decisions were made fast. But once the war started, everything was different. The armies were ten times as big as they used to be, because these were now rich industrialized countries that could afford to put most of the adult male population into uniform. That meant the soldiers getting killed were fathers, brothers, husbands and sons: part of the community, not the wastrels, drunks and men on the run who made up such a large part of the old professional armies. And they were getting killed in unprecedented numbers. The new weapons – machine guns, modern artillery and so on – were very efficient killing machines, and within a month the soldiers had to take shelter in trenches from the “storm of steel”. They spent the rest of the war trying to break through the trenches, and by the end of it nine million of them had been killed. That is what changed everything.

One response to the ordeal, inevitably, was to demonize the other side and define the war as a crusade against evil. That way, at least, the ghastly sacrifice of lives could be seen as necessary and meaningful. But many people saw through the propaganda, and some of them were in high places. The senior politicians and diplomats of 1918, living amid the wreckage of the old world, could see that the old international system was now delivering catastrophe, and had to be changed. So they set out to change it, by creating the League of Nations. They outlawed aggressive war, and invented the concept of “collective security” to enforce the new international rules. They failed, at first, because the legacy of bitterness among the

losers in the First World War was so great that a second one came only twenty years later. That one was bigger and worse – but at the end, everybody tried again. They had to. The United Nations was founded in 1945, with slightly more realistic rules than the League of Nations but the same basic goal: to stop wars among the great powers, for those are the wars that kill in the millions. Stopping other wars too would be nice, but first things first – especially now that there are nuclear weapons around. All you can say is that it hasn’t failed yet in its main task: no great power has fought any other one directly for the past 69 years. Ignore the headlines that constantly tell you the world is falling apart. The glass is more than half-full

Rotary Update ROTARY CLUBS OF SALMON ARM - DAYBREAK

Chase Rotary Club Update The Chase Rotary Club has had a very busy spring and summer. In May, we held our annual Rotary Auction, where we had a 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme, very well decorated by John and Debbie Durning and Rotary members. We raised much needed funds to invest back in to our community. On the May long weekend, we loaded up our concession and headed to Chase Creek for a sanctioned equestrian event, where we fed and watered 200 contestants and families for three days. Many thanks to all the attending Rotarians and friends, and to our concession chairs, Mel Jasman and Rick Berrigan. In June we hosted Fathers Day breakfast, and two barbeques for 40 people in Chase, and a barbeque dinner for 40 people at the Salmon Arm Shuswap Rotary Club Induction night. On June 26, we held our Annual Installation of Officers. Incoming A/G Sterling Land and outgoing A/G Isabel

Reinertson installed President Jacquie Everett and her Board for the upcoming year. John and Debbie Durning were honoured as our Rotarians of the year. On Canada Day we once again loaded up the concession, and served up burgers and fries to the locals and visitors to the Chase Canada Day festivities. Thanks to all the volunteers who help make this event so successful. The day was capped off with a fantastic fireworks display by Roy Nelson and his fireworks crew. In September we will host our annual golf tournament at Sunshore Golf Course in Chase, and then, from October 3-26, we will be at Roderick Haig-Brown Park for the Salute to The Sockeye, as the dominant run of sockeye to the Adams River spawning grounds takes place. Thousands of visitors attend from around the world, and Chase Rotary will be there with our concession,

along with numerous other vendors, for this massive undertaking. Mark this date on your calendar and plan to attend. Many thanks to all the volunteers, who work so hard to put this event together, and make it such a success. For information on joining Chase Rotary, please contact Jacquie or Doug Everett @ 250-675-2574, or Richard Waugh @ 250-679-7678, or any Chase Rotary member. We meet at Creekside Seniors Centre, 1st and 3rd Thursdays, at 5:30 PM, starting in September. We thank the Mayor and Council of the Village of Chase, and all the residents and businesses of Chase for all of your continued support!

~ Your Local Business Professionals ~

Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 6 years. A 45+ year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally. After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician.

KUSISTO, HANS Hans Kusisto passed away on July 29, 2014 doing what he loved most, working on his farm. Hans was born to Frank and Lempi Kusisto, in their home, in Gleneden on February 1, 1922. He lived in Gleneden his entire life. He spent some time away from home working underground at Pioneer Mine and in the shipyard in Vancouver prior to his service overseas during World War II. During his time overseas he was in Belgium, England, Germany, and was involved with the liberation of Holland. One of his proudest moments was being part of a select group of Canadian soldiers chosen for a ceremonial procession for the Queen of the Netherlands. After his discharge from the army, Hans returned to Gleneden where he met Bonnie Thurston. The two were married on June 15, 1949; they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this past June. Together, they built their first home, a two room log house. As their family grew with the birth of their two children, Nancy and Jim, Hans and Bonnie built a larger house on the same farm. This house still remains the family home. The original log home was later converted to a wood working shop where Hans spent many hours crafting and teaching his grandchildren how to build birdhouses. Hans spent most of his working career as a journeyman carpenter and cabinet maker. He worked on many homes and commercial buildings in the Salmon Arm area. After he retired, he finally found time to build an authentic Finnish sauna which he and Bonnie enjoyed twice weekly right up to the time of his passing. Hans was always proud of his Finnish ancestry. In his youth he was a competitive cross country skier and ski jumper. There were three ski jump trestles, built on the Kusisto’s farm, that were used for jumping competitions. Hans always enjoyed fishing. He spent many happy hours fishing with Bonnie and his other fishing buddies on White Lake and other surrounding lakes. As a family, the Kusisto’s enjoyed many Sundays creek fishing and picnicking at Chase Creek. The Kusisto’s always had a huge garden that produced enough fruit and vegetables to feed their family and half of Gleneden. When Hans couldn’t be outside, in his garden or puttering around his farm, he enjoyed reading. He especially enjoyed reading stories of local history, northern Canada and nature. Hans was known for his teasing. No one was spared: family members, friends and even store clerks. He was also famous for giving funny nicknames to people, especially the kids. Family was important to Hans, grandchildren and great grandchildren provided him with hours of enjoyment. He was always a patient listener and a willing teacher. Hans was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Lempi Kusisto and his eldest sister Selma, who died as an infant. He is survived by Bonnie, his wife of 65 years, his daughter Nancy (Morley) and his son Jim (Karen), grandchildren Erin (Jeff), Tanya (Matt), Chad (Lindsay), Jason (Karen), great grandchildren Megan, Brynn, Kaia, Kennedy, Jack, Raylie and Emily. He is also survived by his sister Evelyn Syme and many nieces and nephews. There will be a celebration of life on August 16, 2014 starting at 2 p.m. at the Gleneden Hall. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Online condolences may be sent through Hans’ obituary at www. bowersfuneralservice.com
