There will be no second chances if the Secwepemc First Nations has their way. Neskonlith Band Chief Judy Wilson issued an eviction notice Wednesday to Imperial Metals, owner of the Ruddock Creek Mine high above the headwaters of the Adams River. Wilson does not buy into the province’s assurance that all environmental assessments are rigorous. The eviction from land the Neskonlith claim to own under aboriginal title is a response to the recent Mt. Polley tailings pond disaster. It was a “catastrophic breach” that Wilson says could have been prevented had Imperial Metals had proper risk management practices in place and federal and provincial governments properly assessed and monitored the operation. Imperial Metals representatives did not return calls for comment by press time. Wilson charges that, due to prior inaction on the part of everyone involved, the flow of the breach has not yet been stopped, with toxic substances continuing to discharge into the environment. “The result is long-term impacts on our Secwepemc lands, waters and the health of our people,” wrote Wilson in the Aug. 12 eviction notice, charging the company has significantly contributed to the cumulative impact for all Secwepemc people. “Imperial Metals cannot be allowed to cause any further impacts

Wilson laments the federal government’s decision last month to forego an environmental assessment for Ruddock Creek, deferring it to the province to perform a single assessment – this despite vigorous opposition from several Shuswap bands. “Imperial Metals has already been discharging water from their exploratory mining activities into

B.C. defends environmental assessment process Continued from front by evict Imperial Metals from our territory.” In an Aug. 11 email statement, Ministry of Environment maintains it is too early to draw conclusions about the cause of the failure at the Mt. Polley mine tailings management facility and defends its environmental assessment process. “All of British Columbia’s environmental assessments are rigorous, thorough reviews of the potential for environmental, economic, social, heritage and health effects from a proposed project,” reads the statement. “The proposed Ruddock Creek lead-zinc mine is in the early stages of the environmental assessment process.” Mining Watch Canada co-ordinator Ramsay Hart notes that while a tailings pond at Ruddock Creek Mine would be significantly smaller than the one at Mt. Polley, it will be built on the same basic principles. “We often have a hard time getting companies to admit a tailing pond failure is even
a conceivable possibility, so they don’t necessarily want to include that scenario in their assessments and planning,” Hart says, noting Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch admitted he would have denied the possibility of a breach had he been asked just two weeks prior to the incident. “It speaks to the overconfidence industry has in the engineering of tailings ponds.” Shuswap Environmental Action Society president Jim Cooperman says no mine, regardless of who is in power, has ever, to his knowledge, had a mining application turned down. “With the BC Liberals, their mantra has been cut red tape; that’s how they label it and that basically means cutting back on the rules that companies operate on and letting industry self-regulate,” he says. “The term they have there is professional reliance and the professionals are hired by company. If they tell them what they don’t want to know, they’ll hire other professional who will tell them what they do want to hear.”
Cooperman, who was given a tour in 2008 when the mine was owned by Selkirk Mines, says the main problem at Ruddock Creek is that the original plan to truck the ore away for processing was dropped in favour of a tailings pond at the mine site. Chief Wilson said Wednesday that the Neskonlith don’t want a mine, regardless of who owns it. “We’ve been at this for a long time and we are totally opposed,” she said, noting Secwepemc protests have fallen on deaf ears. “They continued to develop it but we want the mine to shut.” A notice of eviction will be posted at the Ruddock Creek site and a blockade will be considered following meetings with elders and other band members next week. In the meantime, Wilson will accompany a group to Vancouver Friday where they will hand deliver a formal eviction notice to Imperial Metals executives.

n Reggae band Raging Fyah, left, and Iceland’s alternative folk-rock duo Bellstop are among the many artists who will bring their talents to this year’s Roots and Blues Festival that runs from Aug. 15 to 17.
Roots and Blues Festival kicks off Friday It’s here. The gates to Roots and Blues opens at 5 p.m. Tickets will be exchanged for wristbands, which need to remain on your wrist and intact in order to access the grounds again. Festivalgoers are welcome to take their own blankets or tarps for seating, but they must not exceed eight by 10 feet in size. All bags will undergo a security check at the gates to make sure nobody is packing alcohol – go to the beer garden for that. Chairs are also OK, but higher chairs will be relegated to the back of the pack to prevent them from blocking the view of the stage for others. Those who want to get up and cut a rug, are asked to stay in the dance areas for the same reason. Anyone who needs assistance for any reason can look for members of the security team, who will be wearing red shirts and patrolling the grounds during the festival. Medical treatment is available at a first aid station located in front of the fairground riding ring that will be staffed by health-care professionals. If children are lost, they will be taken to the first aid building by a security member. For those who may need a little help getting around, a mobility assistance shuttle will be running throughout the festival. For more information, head to the security stations set up at the main and west gates. There will also be disabled parking located on the west side of the grounds, on Fifth Street SW. Any missing items can be
retrieved at the lost and found booth set up across from the food vendors. Release your inner foodie and indulge in a taste of the exotic with Thai, Greek and Mexican foods, which are just a sample of the many unique, delicious international cusines that will be served up during the festivities. An exciting new addition to the festival this year is The Vine Bar & Tasting Room located between the Artisan Market and the Boogie Bar-N. With a purchase of a $6 wine tasting ticket, festivalgoers can sample fine Okanagan and Shuswap wines in a relaxed oasis setting. Participating wineries include Summerhill, Sonoran Ranch, Ovino and Recline Ridge. The Vine Bar will be open on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. with wine tastings from 1:30 until 4 p.m. Unique, handmade Canadian creations will again be featured in the popular artisan market. More than 30 vendors will set up shop and sell their one-of-a-kind products. Festival-appropriate tie-dye creations, exotic jewelry, glass works, and custom furniture are just a few things that will be available to shoppers at the festival. Protect yourself and your kids with sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, protective clothing and footwear. Also, don’t forget to stay hydrated. There are water refill stations throughout the site and misting stations to help cool you down.

Need for regional district grant program questioned By Barb Brouwer

keep taxes down,” she said. “You’re not going to get money willy-nilly because there is no willy-nilly money.” Demenok however was of another mind. “A lot of services are done by groups and if you remove all those funds, you’d open a can of worms,” he said, pointing out many of CSRD-owned halls are operated and maintained by service groups. “But I want to see a reconciliation signed by a director before they get any money ever again.”
“A lot of services are done by groups and if you remove all those funds, you’d open a can of worms, - Paul Demenok, CSRD Director, Area C Hamilton to ask if the regional district should have a grants-in-aid program. “Lots of other jurisdictions don’t, including the TNRD,” he said. “These are from tax revenue. Should it be used to re-distribute income?” Area A director Loni Parker said she hasn’t collected a grant in aid for the last two years. “I have opted to not accrue it for the last two years in order to
Area E director and chair of the meeting Rhona Martin supported retaining the program and pointed out many other regional districts have discretionary funds, which do the same thing. “Leave them where they are, it’s not a large amount of money often… but if we remove grants in aid, I have a lot of groups that would die off.” Area F Larry Morgan was not disposed to
discussing an end to the program either. “The program is heavily used and supports many facilities throughout Area F and is an invaluable tool to support the community,” he said. “Coming back to Paul’s comments, there’s no follow through. I’ve got money going out to many places and I think there needs to be follow through, but I don’t want to be the person who has to go out there to check it.” Hamilton expressed some concern about the amount of staff time that might be expended. Both Hamilton and the directors, supported Kooistra’s recommendation to endorse an amendment to the grant-in-aid policy that would preclude handing them out in the three months prior to an election and those that exceed $2,000 would require greater accountability. “What I would like to do when the cheque is issued, is include a letter saying ‘you agreed to provide documentation and you must provide it no later than 90 days,” she said. Directors will consider specific post application documentation and certification requirements will be included in the August agenda.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District electoral area directors (EAD) have approved a policy amendment that prevents the awarding of grants three-months prior to election time. At the Aug. 7 meeting in Salmon Arm, Jodi Kooistra, CSRD manager of Finance, advised EAD directors that Policy F-30 Electoral Grants-inAid would replace two policies, with the only substantive difference being the formalization of not giving them out within the last three months prior to an election. But the rural directors asked that the amendment also include a mechanism to provide greater accountability. First up to the plate with comments was Area D director René Talbot, who requested some flexibility in the case of an emergency, where a community group might have a dangerous situation such as a collapsing roof, or where waiting three months might prevent a group from leveraging other funding. Area C director Paul Demenok supported flexibility on the threemonth issue but asked that accountability on
the part of the recipients be notched up in the form of documentation that shows projects for which the money is requested are completed. Talbot noted he keeps his eye on grant- in-aid projects and demanded the money be returned when a Ranchero project was not completed within three years. But Demenok argued his electoral area is huge and more populated, and he has many grant-in-aid requests. This led chief administrative officer Charles

Council proceeds with raise By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
While no one on city council has argued a remuneration increase isn’t overdue, there is disagreement over the amount and when it takes effect. On Monday, council gave three readings to a bylaw which, as of Jan 1, 2015, will increase the councillors’ remuneration from $15,000 to $21,660, (a 44.4 per cent increase), and the mayor’s pay from $44,800 to $53,725 (19 per cent). This process stems from a survey of remuneration levels in other, similarly sized B.C. municipalities. The survey’s author, Maurice Lamb of Lamb and Associates, found remuneration rates for Salmon Arm’s mayor and council – which haven’t been increased since 2003 – to be below the survey average. Council supported the increases, as well as a recommendation to adjust remuneration annually based on the B.C. Consumer Price Index, noting it would benefit the next council. Coun. Marg Kentel, however, opposed the increase for council happening all at once, suggesting it be spread out over the four-year term. She reiterated this at Monday’s council meeting when expressing opposition to the three readings.
This time around, Kentel’s wasn’t the lone voice of dissent. Coun. Ken Jamieson agreed, arguing the increase is warranted but should be spread out. “My views are very similar to Coun. Kentel’s,” said Jamieson. “I’m not against an increase for council. I have the luxury of looking back to 1987/88 when I was first on council… and we worked for… almost nothing and the job was pretty light. “If I were to compare the two jobs now, 25 years apart… The amount of work that councillors do and the mayor… there’s no comparison. The amount of work is incredible sometimes.” Coun. Denise Reimer who, like Kentel, is not running for re-election in November, supported the bylaw that kicks in Jan. 1, arguing remuneration levels should have been adjusted over the past decade. She also expressed the hope the increase might attract a greater diversity of people to run for council. Coun. Alan Harrison wasn’t opposed to Kentel’s idea, but argued for taking pressure off the next council. “I think we want to take that piece away, so that it gets done. We’re up to par and we now have a plan on how to keep the remuneration fair with the average,” said Harrison.

Proactive approach more cost effective The recent Mount Polley mine tailing pond breach in Likely, B.C. should serve as a warning to all of us, none more so than those in charge of granting mining licences. While media and political parties point the finger of blame this way and that, the bigger question is who will pay for the cleanup? Very likely, the majority of the bill will be footed by taxpayers. Sure, Imperial Metals, which owns the Mount Polley mine., is apt to be slapped with a hefty fine – some reports are suggesting amounts up to $1 million – but that would barely begin to cover the costs of reclaiming the waters, should they be deemed critically contaminated. There was a comparable tailings pond breach in the state of Tennessee in 2008 (Kingston Fossil Plant). More than six years later, restoration efforts continue. Some estimates have the total costs of that cleanup to be in excess of $1.2 billion U.S. So what does all this mean to Vancouver Island? Could it happen here? The answer, of course, is yes. It could happen anywhere there are tailing ponds. The requests for exploratory site testing by mine companies is an ongoing issue with the various Island governances, Comox Valley Regional District included. In fact, in June, the CVRD submitted a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, expressing concern over a proposed site testing by a mining company in the Woodhus Creek/Oyster River area and requested that “no coal licence be issued” to the company in question. Consider it a proactive approach. Some economists were undoubtedly crying foul over the decision, upset at the number of potential jobs being lost by such a request. But it’s a far cry more economically sound than the reactive approach being incorporated in regards to the disaster in Likely. –Comox Valley Record

OPINION
Songs that rattle around in my head There are certain songs that, when I hear them, well, I have this strong, sudden overwhelming desire to simply drop whatever it is I’m doing and head for the great outdoors. Sometimes I don’t make it much further than my own backyard, but be that as it may. Not that I can or would literally drop things right then and there and take off, but the point is that I do have the desire. Songs like Joni Mitchell’s River or The River, Mother Nature and Me by Jenny Lester or Sailing Down This Golden River, which was written by Pete Seeger and recorded by Arlo Guthrie, all make me want to be free of the shackles of my urban existence. When I hear songs like that, all I want to do is stand on the banks of a stream somewhere and either cast a line to a distant run or riffle, or breathe in the mountain air, smell the scent of cedar and listen to the sound of the water as it flows along over the rocks. If I’m driving along and a song like Rocky Mountain High or Take Me Home
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray Country Road, both by John Denver, comes on the radio, I feel like pulling into the nearest service station, filling up the gas tank and heading out on the open road – much in the same way that Four Strong Winds by Ian and Sylvia makes me want to go down by the ocean to stand on the rocks and watch the waves roll in. Sometimes I’ll put on Jimi Hendrix’s version of Catfish Blues just to bring back memories of cat fishing on the Red River in Manitoba. It’s been a long, long time since I tied into a big old 30-pound catfish, but the memories are still quite vivid. Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles not only re-
minds me of my teenage years, but also of the first time I stayed up at Dee Lake. That was a good 25 years ago now. Duff was a young dog back then, full of energy, curious, with a sense of adventure. I have fond memories of getting up, opening the cabin door and looking out at the lake. I can still close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on my face. I remember standing there in the doorway, waiting and watching as the sun burned the morning mist off the lake’s surface. The very first time I heard Bob Dylan singing A Song To Woody, I became a Dylan fan. I think I probably know the words to more than half his songs and he has written a heck of a lot of songs. Blowin’ In The Wind still strikes a chord with me. About the same time I also became a Woody Guthrie fan. This Land Is Your Land is the kind of song that just sort of lingers in the back of your mind, and just sort of steps for-
ward every now and then, of its own volition. I think I’ve sung that song more than once at a ‘do’ in someone’s living room when the stories start flowing and the musical instruments come out. How many times have the words to Lake Marie or Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness by John Prine come to mind while I’ve been sitting out in my boat on a lake, casting my line to disinterested fish. There are quite a lot of songs that rattle around inside my head. The Big Rock Candy Mountain, originally recorded in 1928 by Harry McClintock, has been rattling around in there for well over half a century. That’s a long time for anything to stay in a person’s mind and memory. English playwright William Congreve wrote in The Mourning Bride that “music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.” All I know is how I feel when I listen to certain songs – and how I feel when I’m in the great outdoors.

(Paul) Demenok is asking the people of the South Shuswap again if they like their focus on parks by sending students door to door to residents of Area C. Interesting that when the Area C Parks Plan was adopted in 2003, it was a 20-year plan and Demenok tells us it is nearly complete in half that time. I wonder what could have been done in the South Shuswap if those tax dollars were not focused on parks.

Parks not necessarily a priority In his article, ‘How Parks Came to Be’ (Shuswap Market News, Aug. 8), Jim Cooperman omitted a very important part of the development of community parks in the North Shuswap. Roger Beardmore’s park plan became an election issue. In 2005, the voters of the North Shuswap chose Denis Delisle over Mr. Cooperman by a large margin. Director Delisle recognized that a focus on community parks was not the right way to spend local tax dollars when we still did not have an official community plan, and

BARB BRouWER/MARKET NEWS
n Blind Bay Resort owner Dan Baskill points out the advantages of a proposal to expand his development during a public hearing last Wednesday.
Mixed reaction to proposal By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
The time for talking is over. It will be up to Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors to decide the development course for Blind Bay Resort. A capacity crowd of those for and against had an opportunity until the end of a public hearing last Wednesday to express their opinions and concerns. The large collection of letters, emails, etc. will now be compiled, verified to make sure there is no duplication and presented in a report to the board in September by CSRD senior planner Dan Passmore. Area C director Paul Demenok opened the meeting by advising the crowd that he is neither for nor against developer Dan Baskill’s plans for his resort on
Blind Bay Road. “I am officially neutral as I am going to be going into and coming out of the meeting,” he said. “I will take in all the opinions and data, and will do as much as possible to make sure decisions are based on facts…” All other electoral area directors were in attendance to hear public sentiment first hand. Following Demenok’s reminder that the Aug. 6 event was a public hearing, not a debate, Passmore read out amendments that will be needed for the development to proceed. He noted that Baskill had further responded to concerns he had heard by agreeing to a restrictive covenant that would preclude the rental of water toys or pumping waste from boats. Comments for and against seemed to be
fairly balanced with those voting in favour of the development earning more enthusiastic applause. Several people who have already bought into the resort – many of whom have visited the Shuswap for many years – supported the development for its design, amenities, cleanliness and operation. Several others supported the development, adamant South Shuswap needs developments such as Blind Bay Resort in order to improve the economy so young families don’t have to leave the area. Several people were OK with the development on the south side of Blind Bay Road but strongly opposed to the proposed 19 RV lots on the waterfront, which is currently zoned single-family. Others opposed the development on the
0
basis that the new official community plan adopted in March took eight years to complete and public input clearly opposed foreshore development. Still others expressed concerns about the proposed length of the dock, increased boat activity in an already busy bay and deteriorating water quality. Several longtime residents and visitors reported seeing steady deterioration over the years, and one complained that property values have deteriorated as a result. But another longtime resident reported the resort’s state-ofthe-art waste management system, which he said he has examined closely, will reduce the impact on the bay and blamed the worsening water conditions on a plethora of inefficient and leaking septic beds near the foreshore.

Directors debate new CSRD expense policy By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Travel and expenses fuelled more than an hour of discussion at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Electoral Area Directors meeting Aug. 7. The corporate policy, adopted in 1981 and never amended, was presented by CSRD staff at the July 17 regional district board meeting, but deferred at the request of the rural area directors, who said the policy affects them more than the municipal directors. Finance manager Jodi Kooistra sought amendments on the policy that affects both staff and directors because there are currently no guidelines that set limits on meal expenditures, room upgrades or partner programs. As well, there is a lack of consistency in how expense claims are processed. Kooistra made clear that meal expenses for business outside of CSRD limits are on a strictly per diem basis. Within CSRD limits, detailed receipts are required to prevent fraudulent use of the per diem. “We’re not trying to be food and beverage Nazis but we want to get the GST back and without getting original receipts showing what was purchased and when, we can’t,” she said. “The per diem gives a high degree of accountability.” But Area D director René Talbot and Area C director Paul Demenok were not in favour of a per diem anywhere. “When it comes to meals, I always try to get itemized receipts,” said Talbot. “On occasion I’ve lost them and if I can’t find them, I eat the bill.” “I think the travel and expense policy needs to be tight,” added Demenok. “I don’t like per diem because it could be interpreted that directors are being paid. I
don’t like that tone and I think we should have receipts for everything.” Demenok later agreed to a per diem but suggested it be $80 per day within CSRD boundaries, and $100 out of town to accommodate often higher costs. Following a spate of questions and comments regarding directors’ responsibility in choosing the cheapest mode of transportation, hotels and meals, Kooistra reiterated the policy declares directors and staff are expected to “utilize the most cost-effective method of travel considering time, convenience and safety.” Chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton confirmed CSRD has access to government rates. “What is difficult, is people like to make their own travel arrangements, or decide where they want to stay,” he said. “People go out and book a room at a higher rate, and this got to the point we were seeing such discrepancies with conference rates compared with what some of the directors were incurring.” René Talbot In terms of air fare, Hamilton advised directors he would have no problem approving a fully refundable economy fare. “We don’t think you should have to dig into your own pockets, but, at the same time, we don’t think you should fill your pockets at CSRD expense.” This did not sit particularly well with area F director Larry Morgan. “I would think the previous policy didn’t need fixing, but do think it needed better definition,” he said. “I thought there was some latitude in claims and how they were paid and I think we’re
starting to nit pick…Regardless of what has been said in the press, I don’t think any one of us has been pulling a fast one.” Morgan had been under the impression that directors were expected to have significant others accompany them to conferences and take part in partner programs at taxpayers’ expense. He was visibly angry to hear it would be up to staff and directors to pay such expenses themselves. “My wife is on the phone constantly with people; she’s taking calls – some not so positive, directing people or taking messages and, to me, it’s a slap in the face to people like my wife…” he said. “I want to see a policy to accommodate the efforts of spouses.” Area A Rural Revelstoke Loni Parker agreed with Morgan, calling her husband an adjunct to her role as director. “It is disheartening when you’re gonna cut off half of you in the community,” she said. Switching gears, Talbot asked that as electoral area directors are most affected, the travel and expense policy should pertain only to the EAD. But Kooistra noted there is no language in staff’s unionized contracts to cover travel and expenses, and Area E director and chair of the meeting Rhona Martin pointed out that expenses of municipal directors who are appointed to certain committees are paid by CSRD. “I think most of us have been playing within the rules but this just gives clarity,” noted Martin, who was absent from the July 17 board meeting. The directors agreed unanimously to forward the policy to the board for further discussion.

The economics of infection GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Ebola is a truly frightening disease, with a fatality rate as high as 95 percent (although the death rate in the current outbreak in West Africa is only 5560 percent). At the moment, it is largely confined to a heavily forested inland area where the borders of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea meet, although cases have already appeared in the capital cities of all three countries. It could get much worse. If ebola successfully made the jump to a more prosperous, densely populated country like Nigeria, whose citizens travel all over the world, the current 800 recorded deaths could become 8,000, or 80,000, or even more. And the worst of it is that there is no effective vaccine or treatment for ebola. Let me rephrase that. There is no approved vaccine or treatment for ebola. There are candidates, some of which have shown promising results when tested on non-human primates. But they haven’t gone through the full testing process that is necessary before they are approved for human use, because nobody was willing to
pay for it. The normal procedure in the United States, home to more than half of the world’s major drug companies (“Big Pharma”), is that basic research for new drugs may be paid for by government grants or even by private philanthropy (like Bill Gates’s $200 million donation for research on a malaria vaccine), but the work of bringing the drugs to market is left to the commercial companies. All too often, they simply can’t be bothered. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars to take a drug through the whole approval process and put it on the market. That’s worthwhile if the drug will then sell at a high cost and be used regularly over long periods of time: a drug that fights “rich people’s diseases” like cancer or heart disease, say, or even something like Viagra. But a oneshot vaccine that would mainly be used by poor Africans will never make a profit, so it is ignored. Galvanized by the panic over ebola, the National Institutes of Health in the United States has now scheduled phase one trials of an ebola vaccine on human subjects for next month. But there are two more phases after that, and the earliest a vaccine could be approved for general use is next July. And even in this emergency, it’s public money, not Big Pharma, that is funding the research. The problem goes much wider than ebola and other tropical dis-
eases. It extends, unfortunately, to the antibiotics that vanquished the bacterial infections that were once responsible for about 25 percent of adult deaths. The last new class of antibiotics, carbapenems, was approved in 1980. Since then, nothing – even though the usefulness of existing antibiotics is rapidly eroding as resistant strains of bacteria emerge. That’s a big threat, but antibiotics are still not big money-makers, as they are used for relatively short periods of time to fight some specific infection. So no new type of antibiotic has been developed by Big Pharma for more than three decades. A minimum of 23,000 people in the United States died last year of infections that would once have been easily ended by antibiotics; in the European Union the total was 25,000. There are some measures that would dramatically slow the spread of antibioticresistant bacteria. Far fewer prescriptions should be written for antibiotics, and doctors should be monitored to ensure that they are not over-prescribing. Patients must complete any course of antibiotics that they begin, and report that they have done so. Over-thecounter sales of antibiotics in countries like China and Russia must cease. Above all, it should be a criminal offence to feed antibiotics to animals just to make them grow faster and bigger. (That is where 80 percent of the an-
tibiotics consumed in the United States go at the moment.) And even when all that has been done, the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria will continue, though at a much slower pace. Bacterial resistance is an evolutionary process that can only be slowed, not stopped. So we desperately need new antibiotics, and there are none forthcoming. Without them, warned Dame Sally Davies, chief medical officer for England, “Modern medicine would quickly go out of the window.” Almost all surgery, including things as commonplace as caesarian sections and hip replacements, and most cancer treatments as well, involve a significant risk of infection that must be controlled by antibiotics. As Prime Minister David Cameron told The Times: “If we fail to act...we are cast back into the Dark Ages of medicine, where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again.” Yet Big Pharma will not fill the gap, for those companies are answerable to their shareholders, not to the public. The case for direct state intervention to finance the development of the vaccines and antibiotics that the commercial sector neglects is overwhelming. And very urgent.

n The Sicamous-Solsqua Road rail crossing poses a potential impediment to fire response.
Old Town development will create need for new firehall By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Sicamous could see the establishment of a satellite firehall with the development of Old Town Bay. The District of Sicamous and contractor, Urban Systems, are conducting an official community plan – development permit review, identifying potential issues and where there’s need for updating. Community planning officer Mike Marrs told council at the last committee of the whole meeting that, based on what he’s seen in a preliminary report, the issues are fairly straight-
forward. However, he did express concern regarding Old Town Bay and the need to look at extending district services. In particular, Marrs indicated an obligation to provide fire protection. “If we get major development happening out in that end of the community, the response time is going to be more than 10 minutes,” said Marrs. “Under the development code, anything beyond 10 minutes has ramifications from a cost perspective on development.” Marrs told council that, in negotiation with Old Town Bay’s upland developers, he
has “made it very clear that we are going to be looking for a satellite fire department over in Old Town Bay.” “For various reasons, the least of which is the building code requirement, you know, a 10 minute response or less…,” said Marrs, “but also because that area is cut off from our local fire department through the CPR railroad. If something happens there, they’ve got to be able to get across.” Marrs said this is something that needs to be planned for. As for the review, Marrs said he hopes to present a report to council as soon as possible.

Vacation at home
FROM THE LEGISLATURE Greg Kyllo From our pristine lakes, rushing rivers, world-class golf courses, relaxing spas and charming towns and people, it’s a no-brainer that the Shuswap is truly an incredible place to call home. August is ‘Staycation’ month in B.C., an opportunity to consider staying close to home and experiencing the beauty and adventure that can be found right here in the Shuswap and North Okanagan. There are so many events taking place here this month, from the Roots & Blues Festival featuring a great line-up of artists this year, and the famous Caravan Farm Theatre in Armstrong that is guaranteed fun and laughs for your family. Camping and RV’ing is spectacular here, or maybe consider a quick getaway at one of the many fine bed and
breakfasts in the Shuswap. When you choose to staycation, it means that you are supporting one of our most important economic generators – tourism. The sector impacts our households either directly or indirectly through jobs, summer employment opportunities for students, or increased sales at restaurants and locally-owned shops from tourists and visitors coming to our region all year round. Tourism is one of the eight key sectors of our BC Jobs Plan as it is one of one of the largest economic drivers in the province. Throughout B.C., tourism contributes $7.1 billion to our GDP and funds $1.2 billion in tax revenue, funding programs and services to all British Columbians. So if you are considering staycation, be sure to check out Destination B.C. at hellobc. com. And finally, while you are exploring your own backyard, be sure take a picture and use the hashtag, #StaycationBC and #exploreBC to show the world the beauty and wonder of what the Shuswap has to offer.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Stay active to feel younger much longer (NC) It’s hard to beat the invigorating feeling of being physically active. Whether it’s spending hours perfecting your garden, playing a fun game of tennis, or going on a hike with a friend, being active offers tremendous benefits to your mind and body. Continuing to pursue the activities you enjoy as you grow older is an important aspect of your overall health and wellness. “Engaging in physical activity can give you more energy, help you sleep better, and reduce stress,” says Kim Angelakis, National Director for Clinical Education
& Research at We Care Home Health. “It also helps build strong bones and muscles and improves flexibility, putting you on the right track to reduce the risk of falling and injury, as well as improving your resistance to disease.”
Here are some tips to help you stay active and improve your quality of life: Consult your health professional to discuss a suitable exercise program. Support your active lifestyle with a regular, well-balanced
and healthy diet. Give your body the nutrients it needs by eating a variety of foods from each food group every day. Incorporate physical activity whenever you can (e.g. walk instead of drive, take the stairs, and take regular stretch breaks). Don’t get overwhelmed or think you need a vigorous workout program. Even 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, such as a short walk, is very beneficial to your overall health. It’s never too late to start. If you’re not currently active, start slowly and choose ac-
tivities you think will be fun for you - be it swimming, golf or yoga. While staying active helps strengthen your body and lower your risk of injury, there’s always a risk of getting a minor cut or burn when participating in physical activity at any age. When you’re heading out on the trails, tending the garden or hitting the tennis court, keep a first aid kit handy which includes an antibacterial ointment such as Polysporin to help prevent infection and promote faster healing. www.newscanada.com
Exercise with arthritis so you can break free from the pain (NC) Canadians who suffer from arthritis are challenged with symptoms such as swollen, stiff or tender joints. These symptoms can be incapacitating, making even simple household tasks a real chore, let alone attempting a favourite sport or pastime. One might think that not exercising would seem to be a simple solution, but in fact, research reveals the
opposite. Exercise can decrease the pain, increase overall fitness and flexibility, as well as improve your state of mind. So how can you break free from the pain? According to Janet Yale, president and CEO of The Arthritis Society, exercise is one part of your arthritis treatment that you can control. “Exercising provides you with a chance to confront
arthritis and reclaim activities the disease has made difficult for you - and even discover new ones.” If you are not physically active or have never exercised before, it can seem intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Try adding 10 minutes of physical activity to your day and see how your body responds. As you adjust to the change, set goals for yourself
you only get

so you can measure your improvement. Aim to gradually increase your goals by 10-minute increments every few days until you can reach a regular routine of being physically active for at least 60 minutes most days (including exercise as well as ordinary household, workplace and lifestyle activities that keep your body moving). Be sure to keep your doctor apprised
of any changes in your routine or symptoms. For those who are active and playing through their pain, there are additional solutions. A medication with long lasting relief, such as Aleve, can be appealing for those suffering from arthritis pain and general body pain, providing up to 12 hours of relief. www.newscanada.com
Don’t waste the warm weather! Injury from golfing, biking, wakeboarding etc?...sprains, strains, muscle pulls, gashes or bruises?
Laser 1st Aid Unresolved injuries can lead to chronic pain. Laser phototherapy promotes and accelerates tissue healing rather than just masking symptoms...with no side effects. “After 2.5 years of trying to find relief from my sciatic pain problem, today I have NO pain. I played the entire golf season without pain.” GL

Cross-border partnership launches ‘Discover Route 97’ A cross-border tourism partnership launched a website giving visitors to North Central Washington state and British Columbia’s Thompson Okanagan region a new source of information and online links to learn about and explore travel destinations up and down the scenic Highway 97 corridor. The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) and the North Central Washington Economic Development District (NCWEDD) have teamed up in a joint trans-border project to present a combination of new and existing tourism resources on the new Discover Route 97 website – route97.net. The goal of the site, with more than 30 attractive and informative webpages, is to make visitors aware of the amazing destinations along Highway 97, give them direct links to key organizations, places, and tourism resources in the area, and to promote travel on this important Canada-United States corridor. TOTA President and CEO Glenn Mandziuk says the new website demonstrates the benefits of two tourism regions working together to help expand visitor stays in both areas. “This is exactly the kind of initiative we envisioned in 2012 when TOTA and NCWEDD pledged to work together on ways to grow our tourism industries,” Mandziuk says. “By giving visitors to North Central Washington and the Thompson Okanagan a website full of information about the exciting destinations in both regions, we can help to draw visitors up and down Highway 97 for longer trips. This helps travellers and it helps our tourism industry stakeholders on both sides of the border.” NCWEDD Administrator Jennifer Korfiatis says this project
recognizes that tourists don’t stop at the border. “We’re excited about this project. We believe that by working together, both TOTA and NCWEDD can showcase our individual regions in a collective way and present compelling experiences that will help visitors to explore our regions.” Korfiatis and Mandziuk point out that this cross-border project has the support of elected officials from the cities, counties, and First Nations alliances in the regions on both sides of the border. The Discover Route 97 website project manager, TOTA Community Development Specialist Simone Carlysle-Smith, notes the project was carried out by an experienced team of professionals who have created leadingedge tourism branding and marketing for areas in the Thompson Okanagan over the past two years. “We are incorporating world-class strategic tourism marketing elements in this project to make the new website as informative and useful for the visitor as possible,” CarlysleSmith says. “It is being optimized for effective web searching and will be easily and attractively viewable on all mobile devices.” The website introduction notes: “Route 97 is the ribbon of highway that binds each community with the next, stretching from the Cascade foothills of the Wenatchee National Forest through Washington’s Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan Counties and crossing the Canadian border into British Columbia’s Thompson Okanagan Region, then onward to Alaska.” It includes lively and informative text, images and links about communities and destinations in areas such as Wenatchee National Forest, Lake Chelan, Leavenworth, the Channeled Scablands, Moses Coulee,
the Omak Stampede, historic Winthrop, the Methow Valley, Osoyoos Lake, the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, Oliver wine country, Summerland, Kelowna, Kalamalka Lake, Vernon’s Sparkling Hill and Predator Ridge Resorts, Salmon Arm, the Shuswap and Gold Country near Cache Creek. The website displays an interactive highlights map and notes 10 “signature experiences” noting outstanding destinations and activities on both sides of the border. It also includes special sections on wineries, agricultural tourism, events and festivals, entertainment and arts and culture.

Odds and sods, this and that GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway
We’re now half way through summer, which is really amazing. I thought I’d be hanging out at the beach with our daughter, but instead, she’s busy working her first summer job and I’m getting as much done as possible while she’s at work. I had the Enderby Garden Club visit (my first tour), so it was two solid weeks of prep and cleanup for the 45 minutes they were here. The yard and gardens have never looked better, so I took a whole bunch of photos (see my blog at Gaiagardening.ca for a peek – under ‘HOME’) because
it won’t look this good again for a while. I’m also keeping busy trying to keep everything alive during this dry spell, which requires a lot of hose dragging. So it’s odds ‘n sods this column, because there’s a few things I want to yak about, rather than something in particular. First, it’s the old “snooze ya lose,” so you don’t miss these things. • Grab all the grass clippings you can from your yard people, or the pile from your neighbour, and start filling up your compost bins. Layer it in, about one inch at a time, with wood chips (that you can probably get for free from the tree chipper guys), leaves, small weeds, clean sawdust, food waste, needles, etc., and make sure there’s enough moisture between the layers. Then cover it and wait for the magic to happen.
• There are piles of dirty sand left from the winter cleanup trucks (the highway pull-outs are good spots), and it’s great stuff for all kinds of projects, as long as it’s not in sensitive areas because it has salt in it. I use it for building up pathways, fill behind rock walls, making level spots and filling in puddly areas so I don’t have mosquito nurseries everywhere. • Check out our new CSRD Kickin’ Compost, available at certain landfill sites. “U-load” is $10 per pickup load. “They load” is $30 (Friday and Saturday at the Salmon Arm landfill only, between 9 a.m. and noon). It’s a great and inexpensive source of humus to add to your soils or to create new gardens. • Dinoflex is having their annual yard sale for all kinds of rubber products for your yard and patio and it lasts until Aug. 29 (open from 9 a.m. – 3:30
p.m. in Salmon Arm’s industrial park, across from the SPCA). I usually grab and stockpile a bunch of the $1.25, easy-to-cut, thin rubber mats, which I use for all kinds of things such as compost and machine covers, barriers behind walls and drastic weed control under my pathway mulch. Take a break and be a tourist in your own town! Eat at some of the great restaurants, sample the fare and products at the farmer’s market, visit other gardens for ideas and check out the cottage businesses such as local honey producers, breweries and wineries, orchards and farms. It’s always a pleasure to stroll through the lovely garden centres for gifts, fresh fruit, nifty tools and plants and take advantage of the summer sales. Hanna’s Orchard has a great on-line newsletter that has lots of information on garden tips, workshops,
plants, etc., so get on her mailing list. And lastly, sprinkle around your flower seeds to start a wayside garden (where appropriate) to help feed our pollinators and give the area some added beauty and colour. Best and dearest flower that grows, Perfect both to see and smell; Words can never, never tell Half the beauty of a Rose – Buds that open to disclose Fold on fold of purest white, Lovely pink, or red that glows Deep, sweet-scented. What delight To be Fairy of the Rose! -The Song of the Rose Fairy by Cicely Mary Barker So take the time this summer to stop and smell the roses, because the season goes by so quickly – just like the blooms!

CAMPBELL, BRUCE EVERARD
On the evening of August 2, 2014, Bruce passed away peacefully at Shuswap Lake General Hospital after a brief illness. His loving wife of 62 years (Elizabeth) was by his side. Raised on his family’s farm in Stanstead, Quebec and then later in Lennoxville, Quebec he was the eldest of four children born to Everard John Campbell and his wife Phoebe May (nee Paige). After attending Stanstead college and working a while for Bell Telephone in Sherbrooke , QC. , in 1950 he and an equally adventurous co-worker decided to head west. He ended up in Vernon, BC and started his life long career working for Okanagan Telephone Co. and BC Telephone Co. He worked out of the Vernon & Penticton offices for a few years but most of his 34 years with the company were spent here in Salmon Arm. Bruce met his wife Elizabeth Runcie (Betty) in Kelowna and in August 1952 they married and together raised three children. Bruce was a devoted father who made certain that his children (and grandchildren) had the many privileges that he did not have while growing up during the depression years. In 1984 he retired to his home in Blind Bay where he enjoyed the majority of his 30 retirement years caring for and riding his horse “Shadow”, golfing and fishing with his friends, taking the odd camping trip up into the mountains by horseback and spending quality time with his grandchildren. He instilled in all of us a love of animals and nature and that the joy of owning an animal as a pet such as a dog, horse or cat was a privilege and responsibility not to be taken lightly. Many from Penticton and Salmon Arm will remember Bruce as their hockey coach, baseball coach, or boxing coach in their younger days. He always took the time for young people and there was many a horse ride around the pasture on his gentle horse “Jubilo” given to any youngster who asked for one. Bruce was pre-deceased by his parents, his youngest sister Marian, his brother Gordon, his only son Daniel in 2013 and his beloved chocolate lab “Dante” on April 23rd of this year. He is survived by and will be missed greatly by his loving wife Betty, his sister Jean Morrison, his daughter Jeanne Campbell-Wensrich (Brent Wensrich) his daughter Marianne Campbell , his granddaughters, Dr. Rebecca Campbell (Scott Karpiak) & Jacquelin Anhorn (Ryan Graffunder) and by his grandson, Daniel Anhorn. He is also survived by his great granddaughters Roselyn Karpiak and Portia Karpiak , several cousins, nieces and nephews spread out across Canada and the US and so many good friends. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the medical staff in Kelowna & Salmon Arm, especially to those nurses and care-aides who made that extra effort to take special care of Bruce during his time in hospital. In lieu of flowers a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated. There will be no formal service by request. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Bruce’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

Tracey was an active resident of Salmon Arm since 1990, she supported many of the local cultural events such as Roots and Blues and loved to enter crafts and home grown produce and products in the fall fair. Tracey will be remembered for her loving care she gave to many of Salmon Arms developmentally challenged adults through her home care, whether it was providing short term or long term care, Tracey did her best to guarantee a loving environment for her clients. Tracey was a loving person with a zest for life. Her many interests and talents included music, cooking, reading, traveling, the outdoors, crafts, sewing, animals and sports. She was always ready to entertain guests whether it was tea or coffee with a mellow crowd or playing hackie and feeding her daughters teenage friends. A small beautiful memorial was held August 5th in Sicamous, B.C. attended by family and close friends. The family wants to thank the caring staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital as well as Doctor Karina Theron for their tremendous care for beloved Tracey.

PFEIFER, HILDA EMMA DEC. 24, 1922 – JULY 8, 2014 It is with great sadness that we have to let you know that our Auntie Bill passed away. Hilda Emma Virtue was born in Okotoks, AB on December 24, 1922 to Sam and Clara Virtue. She grew up in Okotoks, Black Diamond and later in Turner Valley areas. She married Herman Pfeifer in 1941, and they resided in Turner Valley until 1953 when they transferred to Blue River, BC and transferred again to Kamloops in 1961. Throughout their lives Auntie Bill and Uncle Herm were wonderful, kind and fun to be with for all their nieces and nephews and any other children whom they met, they were such a good match. All of us were very fortunate to have them in our family. Sadly, Auntie Bill was widowed in 1968. She later took some courses at Cariboo College and subsequently worked at the Kamloops Library (a perfect fit for such an avid reader) until transferring to the North Kamloops Library when it opened, retiring in 1982. She travelled and saw what she wanted including a bus tour across Canada. She also travelled to Australia, Mexico, England and Europe including Switzerland. She moved to Salmon Arm in 2003 and remained there until her passing on July 8, 2014. She was predeceased by her parents, her husband Herman Pfeifer, and siblings Dorothy Hall, Jim Virtue, Joy Kendall and Gordon Virtue; nieces Lorna Virtue and Jo Ann Kendall (Wright) Scheck and nephews David Kendall and Wayne Kendall. She is survived by her nieces and nephews: Laurie (Wilf) Durand; Sharon (Richard) Durand; Gordon (Carol) Virtue; Pam Hill; Lorne (Tracy) Virtue; Rick (Ellen) Kendall; Barb (Ken) Veillette; Bob (Linda) Kendall; Jackie (Jerry) Veillette; Jill Kendall; Don (Bunny) Pfeifer and many great nieces and nephews as well as great, great nieces and nephews all who knew that we were well loved by Auntie Bill. She had prearranged her wishes with the help of Vince and Tammy at Fischer’s Funeral Home, their support was greatly appreciated by Billie and the family. Thank you to Dr. J. Aitchison; BC Ambulance staff, Staff at SLG Hospital and Bastion House; and especially to Troy DeVries at Baptist Housing Foundation. A family graveside service was held at Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops and she is placed with her husband. If you wish to make a donation, please make one to the charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Billie’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

Food donations to help needy pet owners Furry friends in need will still get to eat their fill thanks to a new program running every Friday at Second Harvest. The BC SPCA’s Shuswap branch has started a new program that consists of donating all their extra cat and dog food for pet owners who stop by
Second Harvest each Friday. “We get a lot of donations through the shelter,” said Shelly Hand, branch manager, who noted the animals at the shelter are fed through a deal with the Hill’s pet food company. “We want to make sure animals stay in
their homes, and some (pet) owners just can’t afford food,” said Hand. “There’s need in the community. We want to pay it forward and support animals in general.” Hand said a representative from the SPCA will be at Second Harvest every Friday from noon to 2
