Plans proceed for Blind Bay Resort
CSRD: Directors give revised proposal third reading with conditions attached. By Barb Brouwer
markEt nEws staff
After seven years of often acrimonious debate, multiple changes and a new official community plan, Blind Bay Resort received third reading – with conditions. Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors gave owner Dan Baskill’s proposal third reading, but withheld bylaw approval subject to the following. • Receipt of documentation from the Ministry of Environment saying
the resort’s sewage disposal system meets ministry requirements; • A signed covenant prohibiting the rental of personal watercraft and • Baskill agreeing to and registering a covenant prohibiting the disposal of watercraft/vessel sewage disposal/pump-out services. Senior planner Dan Passmore explained staff were opposed to third reading for reasons he stated prior to an Aug. 6 public hearing at Sorrento Memorial Hall. At that time concern was expressed that the

development would require eight amendments to the newly minted official community plan (OCP). The eight areas that would need OCP amendments deal with respecting environmental and foreshore values, permitted land uses within secondary settlement areas, maintaining near-shore areas of Shuswap Lake ecologically intact by focusing development away from the shoreline and by minimizing impacts from moorage facilities. In terms of moorage, the new
OCP says it may be included only for fee-simple waterfront parcels. New development proposals get one moorage per waterfront parcel or 30 metres of water frontage. Lastly, large-scale commercial development is not acceptable in secondary settlement areas and should be directed to the village centre. “What is being done is a very site-specific zoning,” development See Plan on page 3

Plan diverges from OCP Continued from front and planning manager Gerald Christie advised directors at the July 17 board meeting. “Staff have pointed out, in both our reports, the issues and inconsistencies with the new OCP. Now we’re waiting to hear from the public on these proposed amendments.” Passmore reiterated concerns, but noted Baskill had agreed to reduce the number of the units on the foreshore from 19 to 14 and had agreed to the other requirements. Having been prevented from commenting on the development after the close of the August public hearing, directors were again given an opportunity to speak to the development project prior to the vote for third reading. In a long and passionate plea for support from the other rural directors, Area C director Paul Demenok said he was initially against the development but changed his mind over time. He believes that between 70 and 75 per cent of the people at the public hearing were in support of the development. “Repeated public hearings and applications increased emotions and served to entrench opinion rather
than seeking of common ground,” he said. “Regardless of the vote here today, there will be many people who are unhappy with the outcome.” Demenok dealt with a number of the issues that had erupted over the years, many of which he said had been “coloured by misinformation.” He concluded by noting CSRD staff made clear at the public hearing that OCPs are living documents
“Regardless of the vote here today, there will be many people who are unhappy with the outcome.” - Paul Demenok, CSRD director and that each application is assessed on its own merits. “Staff noted at the public hearing that an OCP is not iron-clad, but a document that will change over time depending on circumstances,” he said. “The reason we have a variance process is to accommodate changes to the OCP. The previous OCP had 60 to 70 variances.” Area D Falkland/ Salmon Valley/Ranchero director Rene Talbot described an OCP as a guiding tool and noted it took eight years to create one for Ranchero.

Area B Rural Revelstoke director Lani Parker had several concerns including the eight OCP amendments required and the form and character the establishment of modular units would have on a so-far residential area. Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin agreed, noting she would have preferred a hotel or motel that could include amenities that would offer greater economic opportunities. “I know there was a lot of support. I went to
the public hearing and for me I heard a lot of yeses, but I have concerns. In the written comments I could see the split, so it was very difficult,” she said, following the meeting. “It was the most difficult project to look at.” Martin also expressed concerns about the resort’s sewage treatment plant, something she believes has been non-compliant for some time. Christie assured her the issue was being dealt with by the Ministry of Environment, whose job it is to make sure the system is compliant. When the question on third reading was called, three directors voted in favour with Martin and Parker opposed. A relieved and jubilant Baskill said he is aware of the opposition and concern but believes it can be overcome. “We are very pleased with the approvals given to complete our resort at last Thursday’s CSRD board meeting,” said Baskill in an email to the Market News. “There is still another process to follow, but we will be working hard to deliver on the vision we’ve shared with our community this next year.”

Hearing Problems?
‘Warriors’ take credit for fire MARKET NEWS STAff
An aboriginal protest against Imperial Metals’ Ruddock Creek Mine is heating up with the suspected arson of a bridge across the Adams River. Clearwater RCMP are investigating a fire at an Oliver Creek forest road bridge they believe was deliberately set on Oct. 12. Secwepemc Ts’ka7 Warriors, an Indigenous resistance group, claimed responsibility for the fire on an activist website, saying they took action in order to prevent Imperial Metals Inc. access to their Ruddock Creek zinc/lead mine. “With much discussion with Elders Councils and around sacred fires and ceremonies, warriors have acted out their collective responsibility and jurisdiction to and in the Ts’ka7 area by deactivating the Imperial Metals Ruddock Creek Mine,” reads a statement posted online at PopularResistance. org. It is accompanied by an image of a fiery hand. In their statement, the warriors maintain Imperial Metals did not ask, nor receive consent, to operate in Secwepemc Territory and they describe the site as sacred. They note it is an important area where the glaciers meet, melt and have fed creeks and rivers for thousands of years. Steve Robertson, vice-president of corporate affairs for Imperial Metals, says the company does not own the bridge, which is located at Kilometre 1 on the Oliver Creek Forest Service Road, immediately below the outflow of the Adams River from Tum Tum Lake. It is a provincial structure on Crown land. Imperial Metals also owns the Mount Polley mine in the Cariboo, where a disastrous tailings breach occurred this summer. He says company officials first heard about the fire last Wednesday. The company sent officials to the site that
evening to confirm the damage to the bridge, which includes burned areas on the railing and bridge decking. Robertson says burning the structure was no easy task. One of the reasons, he says, is that because of the swiftly moving water, the bridge decks are rarely dry. “There were signs of an accelerant; we believe it was diesel dumped on the bridge and then firewood soaked in diesel added to the fire,” Robertson said Friday. “Our fear is there would have been a significant amount of diesel dumped into the river, so we have reported that to MOE (Ministry of Environment) as well.” Robertson says the company is a long way from operating the mine and is in the process of applying for development permits. “We were only planning on going in for a couple more trips to do environmental sampling this fall,” he said, noting lack of access to the mine will not affect Imperial Metals’ activity. “It will certainly be an inconvenience to the multiple bridge users that include miners, fishermen, hunters and prospectors.” A spokesperson for the Ministry of Forests,

n A view of Adams Lake from the Ruddock Creek Mine. Lands and Natural Resource Operations says there is some industrial traffic that uses the bridge. FLNRO planned to repair the bridge on the weekend with a temporary patch, but it will remain closed to the public. “The bridge will not be rebuilt until next spring,” noted the ministry’s email. This is not the first protest made against the mine this year. In August, Neskonlith Chief Judy Wilson attempted to serve Imperial Metals with what the band termed as an eviction
notice from the Ruddock Creek site – land the Shuswap Nation claims under aboriginal title. Four bands: Adams Lake Indian Band, Little Shuswap, Neskonlith and the Simpcw First Nation in the northern part of the Shuswap have made claims to the territory. The ministry estimates the cost of the damage is approximately $5,000 and has left the investigation in the hands of the RCMP. – With files from Cam Fortems, Kamloops This Week.

Okanagan-Shuswap MP at Parliament during shooting By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS
A member of the Canadian Forces died after being attacked at the War Memorial Wednesday morning and an armed assailant was shot and killed inside the House of Commons. Parliament Hill continued to be locked down at the Market News press time. A call to OkanaganShuswap MP Colin Mayes office confirms that his staff are safe but locked down in the office. Mayes was at a caucus meeting at the time of the incident and cannot be reached for comment. Mayes’ constituency office in Vernon also shut its doors for the day on Wednesday. A former member of Parliament insists security must be reviewed after the violent incident in Ottawa. “It’s a different
Colin Mayes world and we need tighter security. People will have to put up with that,” said Darrel Stinson, who was Okanagan-Shuswap MP from 1993 to 2006. “It was only a matter of time before something like this would happen. It’s a different world today.” It has not been determined yet what the motives of the deceased gunman were, and authorities continue to search for other possible suspects. Stinson has talked to some of his former Conservative colleagues who were on Parliament Hill when
the shooting started. “They said it was nerve-racking and just like something out of a show. They could hear the gunshots,” he said. Credit was being paid to the security response inside the House of Commons. “MPs and Hill staff owe their safety, even lives, to Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers, who shot the attacker just outside the MPs’ caucus rooms,” said Craig Scott, Toronto NDP MP, on Twitter. Sympathy messages were also being shared. “Canada has lost another soldier. My condolences to those he loved,” said Ron Cannan, Lake Country MP, on Twitter. “We have seen many acts of bravery today. This tragedy will not weaken us.” Extra security was also put in place at the B.C. legislature, as part of the response to the shootings at Parliament Hill.
New Chief for Little Shuswap By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAff
The Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band may soon have a new chief. A byelection was held on Friday, Oct. 17 to replace Felix Arnouse, who was chief for more than 25 years and a band councillor for 10. The reason why a
byelection was required had not been disclosed at press time. Stewart Adamson, lands manager, said Oliver Arnouse was elected chief in the byelection but the band must wait for a 10-day appeal process before a new chief is sworn in. If there is no appeal, the swearing-in
ceremony is expected to take place next Wednesday, Oct. 29. Oliver Arnouse is the brother of Felix Arnouse. The two band councillors are Dale Tomma and Brian Finlay. Running in the byelection against Oliver Arnouse was James Tomma.

shootings set nation on edge
An attack Wednesday morning on a Canadian Forces soldier at the National War Memorial, and the subsequent entry by the shooter into the nearby Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, is deeply troubling. One shooter has been shot dead by police and security forces inside the Parliament Buildings. There are many reports of multiple shots inside the buildings, and Parliament was shut down for the day. The shooting came as MPs were gathering for caucus meetings, and apparently took place very close to their caucus meeting rooms. There may have been more than one shooter. Police on Wednesday morning were busy securing the perimeter and determining if there were more people involved. This incident comes just two days after a young man named Martin Rouleau, whom the federal government and RCMP say was “radicalized,” lay in wait for military personnel at St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, outside Montreal, and deliberately ran one of them down. One soldier later died, and the shooter himself was shot dead, after leading police on a chase and then refusing to put down a knife. Both incidents may be related to the Canadian decision to send six warplanes against ISIS, the radical group which is holding a portion of Iraq and Syria and taunting western governments. The Canadian Forces decided to shut down a number of bases on Wednesday after the second incident and is warning military personnel to take extra precautions. While they are in uniform, they are an obvious target. All of this is almost incomprehensible. In some ways, this resembles the terrorist-like actions of the Front de Liberation du Quebec in October, 1970, when it took two hostages and killed Quebec cabinet minister Pierre Laporte. That led to the “October Crisis” and imposition of the War Measures Act. Will this be a repeat of those crisis-filled days? - Langley Times

OpiniOn
Catch what you need, call it a day
It wasn’t that many year ago I recall writing in one of my columns that the practice of catch and release fishing was being practised by an ever-increasing number of anglers. I’m not so sure if that statement holds true anymore. Many of the anglers I’ve talked to in the last couple of years say they are keeping at least part of their catch on a more regular basis. In part, because of the cost of putting food on the table and, also, because of the quality or, rather, questionable quality of some fish being sold in grocery stores. Some of the fish sold in stores is farmed in Asia and either renamed or relabelled. Either way, it just seems that a lot more anglers are keeping wild, fresh-caught fish from our lakes and streams. This is in spite of the fact that a number of salmon and trout waters in the Interior have been designated catchand-release fishing only in an attempt to preserve the quality of our sport fishing. In this province, catch and release is promoted by
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC as a management tool in an effort to reduce the cost of rearing and using stocked fish, while many other conservationist groups advocated catch and release as a way to ensure the sustainability of natural fish stocks. There have been countless studies that have measured both the effects of various types of fishing tackle and angling techniques on fish mortality and, in pretty well each and every study, the link between the causes of fish mortality, the types of gear used and techniques used to both bring the fish in and subsequently release the fish have all boiled down
to one thing – the amount of stress fish are subjected to directly affects post release survival rates. To put things in simple terms, the manner in which fish are caught is important. Most fish are caught using either artificial or some form of natural bait. Studies have compared mortality rates and angling methods and have found that the use of artificial baits such as lures or flies, does significantly reduce both the incidence of fish swallowing bait too deeply (to remove the hook without injury) and the rate of fish mortality. Studies also seem to indicate that the physiological effects of stress (as a result of being caught) are usually pretty well reversed within a 24-hour period. Common sense, as well as scientific data, show that the longer fish are out of the water, the more they become stressed and that a minimal amount of handling not only reduces the amount of stress but also the risk of physical injury due to struggling and loss of body slime. Holding fish out
of the water also puts stress on a fish’s inner body and organs which are, in part, held in place by the external force of water pressure. It is therefore important to keep a fish on the surface but still in the water, when removing the hook. Any fish displaying signs of exhaustion or stress should be resuscitated by holding the fish with its head pointing into the current. In still waters, fish can be gently moved back and forth to increase the amount of oxygenated water passing through the gills. Only when the fish demonstrates a stable equilibrium and ability to swim on its own, should it be safely released. As for those anglers who want to keep what they catch to eat, maybe they should consider only catching what they need (within the regulations) and then simply calling it a day. I’ve more or less always done my part by simply not catching very many fish – although I have to admit that sometimes it is due more to a lack of skill than it is a conscious effort to limit my catch.

VIEW POINT Focus on renewable resources In his article of Oct. 17, Colin Mayes takes his usual shot at ‘pipeline phobia’ and fears that the ‘underlying resistance’ could be ‘related to a backdoor approach to stopping the Alberta oil sands development.’ This is why he promotes the Conservative’s fast-track approach to environmental reviews, to ‘minimize the obstruction tactics used by some to compromise
the applicant’s right to due timely process.’ Polls show the people of B.C. are opposed to the Northern Gateway project, and the UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities) recently voted against the Kinder Morgan proposal. Mr. Mayes’ view is offside with the will of the people, while promoting the oil industry. A recent move by Saudi Arabia dropped oil pricing to $80 a barrel, break-even for the
oil sands. This move reflects the growing realization that renewables are a rapidly growing percentage of world energy. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization are all in agreement that carbon emissions by 2050 need to drop to 20 per cent of current levels. Guess which source of oil will drop first as over-produced oil
prices start to slide? The dirtiest and most expensive extraction of oil in the world is from Alberta. Large pipelines, based solely on oil sands expansion, are infrastructure that is based and financed on a 50-year timeframe. Based on the rapid drop in price of solar, and the rapid progress in electric cars and smart cities, in 2050 we will have a pipeline leading from a ghost town to an idled
port. Pipeline investors are currently taking a hard look at laying out the cash. And a bit of resistance is helping this good cause. Time to put our emphasis on renewables and rebuilding the industrial base rather than putting all our eggs in one increasingly shaky basket. Dave Smith Federal Green Party Candidate for North Okanagan Shuswap
Laws need enforcement and resources to make them effective, otherwise they aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. China for instance has very tough air pollution laws, but without enforcement these laws are ignored so they have the worst smog on earth. We have such inadequate marine response resources that we had to call in an American tug to rescue that Russian freighter last week. I shudder to think if that had been a tanker loaded with bitumen. The Conservatives have also gutted enforcement staff at Environment and DFO, they have shut down the marine pollution monitoring program on the West Coast, slashed most other environmental researchers and muzzled the few
scientists who are left, and they have systematically weakened the very laws that protect our environment. But this all fits the Conservative head-inthe-sand, economyat-all-cost doctrine. Ignore or deny any science which doesn’t fit their beliefs. Turn off the radar so there are no mountains or rocks to worry about as we merrily drift along blindly (to disaster?). If there’s nobody left to monitor marine pollution or study global warming, then they aren’t happening, right? How convenient. Well, I’ve got news for you, Mr. Mayes: the earth IS round, it IS heating up, and British Columbians don’t want our province spoiled with dirty oil! Jim Wright

MP out of touch with electorate I am pleased that Colin Mayes has decided to retire, as his recent columns prove how out of touch he and his fellow Conservatives are with reality. He is “perplexed” by British Columbians’ dislike for oil pipelines, which shows he has not been listening to us. So here’s the message once again, loud and clear: We do not want our land, water and ocean sullied by impossible-to-clean-up oil sands! Mr. Mayes says not to worry, because we have world-class laws to protect us. Well, the best laws won’t protect us when companies cut corners on maintenance (Kalamazoo) or safety protocols (Deepwater Horizon, Lac-Mégantic). And they certainly can’t save us from human error (Exxon Valdez).

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
✔ ELECTION ❑ CSRD Area C Candidate
Paul Demenok
RD CS C EA ES R A AT DID N CA
After becoming president of the Shuswap Estates Community Association and Ted Bacigalupo had sadly passed away, many people encouraged me to run in the byelection. I spent time researching the position with electoral area directors and CSRD staff and learned that it is an opportunity to achieve change and improvements to quality of life for many. I think public service in local government is an important, unique and satisfying way to contribute to one’s community and to really make a difference.
CSRD Area C Candidate
CSRD Area C Candidate
Friends approached me. When I asked others about it, I was humbled by their answers and support. Then I was more surprised when the woman I love said to do it, with way too much enthusiasm. I was mostly motivated by the kids and seniors in the area with far too few services that they and the rest of us can use. We need more social infrastructure. I learned early that if you are going to complain, you should be prepared to do something about it, so here I am, no more complaining, I want to help.
I am deeply concerned about the direction Area C is presently headed. Attracting the necessary investment is only one step to sensible, thoughtful community planning with proper balance between residential and commercial development being another. Over development will take away the quality of life that we presently enjoy. Protecting our environment and the lake is a very serious issue, one we cannot ignore. Living here is a gift and we have an obligation to protect, preserve and retain this jewel we call home. We need to believe in and support our OCP, the tool for the future of Area C.
Alan McClelland
CSRD Area D Candidate
I’ve noticed a gap, as have others in the area, in the way information flows between the community and the regional district. People want to be informed and they want to know their experiences count. That is realistic and possible. I want to help change the way our communities get involved in the decision-making process. Whether I’m advocating on social media, organizing letter-writing campaigns urging better funding for our education system, or volunteering on a federal election campaign, the best way I can see to be a part of this change is to get involved in the process.
I enjoy working with all the community groups in Area D. I have built very good relationships with the community groups and residents. A number of residents and community groups requested I run again. I have appreciated the last 12 years of my position as director. During a conversation with my wife, she encouraged me to run again if I enjoy community involvement. My motivation to run again is to continue to be involved in small community affairs and see completion of various projects at the regional level.
CSRD Area E Candidate
CSRD Area E Candidate
As a first-time candidate for public office, I will bring a new perspective on local issues important to Electoral Area E. Our local government is important because the actions of the local representatives have a direct impact on our everyday lives. Being a business owner in the forestry sector, I possess important skills and knowledge that will be an asset when dealing with local and broader issues pertaining to the CSRD. I am ready for this new challenge. With your support on Nov. 15th, we can start making a difference together.
The motivation to offer my name as a candidate 24 years ago remains the same today. I cared about our area, Electoral Area E, our greater community, the Shuswap and our region, and I still do. I feel that I am able to contribute in an effective manner to help deal with some of the issues facing our region.

CSRD to require sorted materials at depots By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors have agreed to spend $100,000 on new bins for the future sorting of materials at the regional district’s recycle depots. The money from the 2014 budget will be used to buy huge shipping containers to house “mega bags” at regional district recycling depots. As of Jan 1, 2015, people who take their recyclable items to a CSRD depot – not those who participate in curbside recycling – will have to sort the material into one of six categories: glass, coloured polystyrene foam, white polystyrene foam, plastic film, fibres (cardboard, paper, etc.) and containers (plastic, metal and paper which contained liquids). Ben Van Nostrand, CSRD’s Environmental Health Services team leader, told directors that member municipalities with curbside collection programs which joined the Multi-Material BC (MMBC) program in May have done so with minimal disruption to service. The regional district’s recycling depot program is contracted to Emterra until the end of the year, something Van Nostrand says has given CSRD staff an opportunity to see how the program has rolled out in other areas. CSRD staff have expressed concerns with the use of mega bags at community depot sites and has been working on alternatives with Green By Nature (GBN), the contractor who will consolidate, haul and process printed paper and packaging (PPP) collected through curb side programs. They will also operate Salmon Arm Landfill’s reload facil-
ity for paper collected from the City of Salmon Arm’s curbside program. CSRD provides region-wide collection of recyclables at a total of 18 depots. Eleven are located within a landfill or transfer station and seven are operated within community locations – Malakwa, Sicamous, Salmon Arm, Tappen, Sorrento, Revelstoke and Golden. “Wherever we have the green bins, they will shift to a requirement to sort, and the other thing I am pushing for is the requirement for hours of operation,” says Van Nostrand, noting the bins will have to be secured after hours so people are unable to dump in and around the bins. “They will be behind a fence or have doors that can
be locked, so it will be less convenient for the public but compliant with MMBC, who is funding the program.” Van Nostrand says another important aspect is that the regional district is expanding
“They will be behind a fence or have doors that can be locked, so it will be less convenient for the public...” -Ben Van Nostrand
the list of commodities that can be recycled, items that are not permitted in curbside programs. Electoral area directors asked Van Nostrand if public educa-
tion would be part of the Jan. 1 roll-out, with Area E director Rhona Martin recommending “something fun and snazzy for school kids, who will be going home and educating parents.” Area D’s Rene Talbot suggested the simplest way would be for attendants to hand out an information sheet. “I love it; that’s exactly what we’re doing,” said Van Nostrand. The CSRD will host an open house to discuss the ongoing review of the solid waste management plan at the CSRD’s main office in Salmon Arm this Saturday, Oct. 25 from 1 to 3 p.m. An open house will also be held at the Red Barn in Sicamous from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 3.

Traditional salmon fishing
Jim Cooperman As thousands of people flock to the Adams River to witness another major sockeye run, it is important to reflect on how salmon were fundamental to the lives of the Secwepemc people, as well as the early fur traders who depended on dried salmon to survive the winters. The traditional fishing methods used by the First Nations were both efficient and sustainable, unlike the fisheries that supported the large industrial canneries over 100 years ago. There were a number of fishing techniques used by the local Secwepemc people for thousands of years that required resourcefulness, skill, and co-operation. Along the edge of rivers, men were stationed on projecting rocks above favourable eddies with bag-nets affixed to long poles. The same families occupied these stations and adjoining campsites for many generations. On smaller streams and side channels, traps and weirs of all descriptions were used. The fence-like weirs were made of willow and other sticks lashed together with bark and were stretched across the streams. As the salmon attempted to jump over the weir,
stored in underground food caches adjacent to each family’s pit-house or ‘kekuli’ for winter sustenance and were also used for trading with other tribes. The early British and French fur traders would not have survived if not for the dried salmon. Early records show that the standard allocation was three dried fish per man per day. By the 1840s and 1850s, there were occasions when by spring First Nations were on the verge of starvation, due in part to poor runs and to over-stocking by the traders. When the Indian reserves were first established, the government commissioner noted an “exclusive right” for some bands to fish for salmon along the rivers. However, by the 1880s, with thousands of commercial fishermen on the Fraser the competition for fishing was fierce. In 1886, new fisheries regulations were enacted that restricted indigenous peoples’ access to fish. By 1894, the large canneries successfully had lobbied the government to require First Nations to acquire special permission to fish and the new laws defined only European systems as legal fishing gear. After the disastrous 1913 rockslide at Hells Gate, the First Nations were further limited and could only catch salmon for personal consumption. Meanwhile, salmon numbers continued to decline due to overfishing, habitat destruction from mining and logging, as well as splash dams built
O
by sawmills on rivers, such as the one built by the Adams River Lumber Company that destroyed the early run on the Upper Adams River that once provided the bulk of the salmon for Secwepemc people. The contrast between the greedy, wasteful practices by the commercial fishery and the traditional First Nation fishery was significant. The early ethnographers described the Secwepemc culture as egalitarian because food and fish were shared equally and no families went hungry. Salmon were considered sacred, their cycle was well understood and the traditional fishing methods had ensured the sustainability of the resource for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. haunted-house-mock-10082014.indd 1

they landed in nets. Elsewhere, catwalks were built above the weirs and men speared and netted the trapped fish. The points on the pronged spears called leisters were fashioned from sharpened antler or splintered animal bone and the fishing nets were woven from hemp twine. They also fished at night in canoes using torches of pitch-soaked wood to attract the spawning salmon. Often a young boy kept the torches burning while the men either speared or netted the salmon out of the water. Families waited on the shoreline to prepare the salmon for drying after it was caught, using knives made from stone. The Secwepemc were well aware of the need to ensure enough salmon made it to the spawning area to maintain the strength of the run, in contrast to the early settlers, miners and loggers who blocked passage to the fish and damaged habitat. As well, the fishing of individual runs was sustainable, as opposed to netting the fish in the Georgia Strait or the Fraser River, which had the potential to weaken or wipe out specific runs. The methods for drying the salmon included on racks by the sun and wind on racks, by smoke from fires outside or by fires in sweathouse-like structures. The salmon roe was wrapped in bark and buried and the salmon oil was stored in bottles made of fishskins that were sealed with twine and glue. The dried salmon were
Gas prices spark protest Shuswap: Citizens gather, company boycotts in works. By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
The recent dip at the gas pumps in Sicamous and Salmon Arm may not be entirely due to global market trends. While it’s not uncommon for people to gripe about gas prices, several went out on the highway last week to protest the price at the pump in Salmon Arm. Their protest was spurred by how the cost of gas initially seemed static. But the plummeting price per barrel resulted in dramatically decreased gas prices elsewhere in the province, and the nation. The price of a litre of regular in Salmon Arm has since dropped from 137.9 to 129.9. At the same time in Enderby and Vernon, it was 125.9. In Kamloops gas was down to 112.9 at some stations, and in Abbotsford a litre could be found for as low as 107.9. Sylvia Lindgren was one of the frustrated protesters. “Two weeks ago there was one guy, last week there were two people and today there’s 10 of us. We have to keep on putting pressure on these guys,” said Lindgren. The one guy referred to by Lindgren is Ernie Scheil, who began his own protest after growing frustrated with the way gas prices are consistently higher in Salmon Arm than in neighbouring communities. Sunday’s protest was the result of efforts orchestrated through a Facebook group, Orga-
nized Boycott of Local Gas Prices, whose membership has soared over the past week. Group administrator Tavia Bente says organizers have two goals – the second is to support shopping local, the first is getting fair pricing. “I believe in shopping locally, and I want to support my local gas stations… but I have a problem with corporations who have such a control over the pricing,” said Bente. “There is something fundamentally wrong with the system….” Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper briefly joined in the Sunday protest. She says she’s received numerous calls about gas prices lately and is encouraging peaceful protest such as what took place over the weekend. “I have a feeling the type of protest we’re starting to see is probably what has to transpire before these people listen to us,” said Cooper of the petroleum companies, noting she has notified petroleum company reps of the situation. Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce president Jim Kimmerly has been working on the local gas pricing issue for about a year now, attempting to bring fair pricing to Shuswap residents and business owners. The next step, he says, is a scheduled meeting with a petroleum company representative to explore bringing an independent owner/operator to the community.

Encountering a gardener in disguise
Margo Westaway
Last fall, during a particularly cold and cloudy grey day, I was scouting around town for the easy leaves that fall from the trees to the streets and sidewalks. To my delight, I spotted a municipal crew who had just raked up big piles of them. We were all smiles with this sudden win-win scenario, for they had been spared the additional work of removing them and I only had to bundle and bag them to take them home to my waiting cherished little chipper! So I got hoppin’ before the rain started droppin’ and began stuffing my little Subaru. I was pretty much on my own on that misty morning road, save for my old doggie in the back of the car having a snooze after his walk, or an occasional passing car or woollied-up walker. One pedestrian actually paused to enquire as to why I would want so many of those lovely leaves and for what purpose, so I launched into a overly-long and enthusiastic lesson as to their nutritional value in our composts and mulch covers, which most likely left her cold and sorry that she ever stopped in the
three likely scenarios that were about to take place the minute I got wind of what kind of person had paid me a visit: 1) that I would try to pull off faking I was a foreigner who didn’t understand English; 2) that I would be having a good jaw with a jaunty and friendly fellow; or 3) engaging in a cool and crispy conversation with a Cro-Magnon type male. As I waited, I wondered what it was that he would want with a middle-aged, grubbylooking gardener like me? Was he a bloke selling coke, or some stud with the duds? Did he need directions or a bathroom or perhaps somewhere to dine? Was a he a creep from the deep or was he hopefully just fine? To my surprise and secret relief, I was greeted with a great big grin and hearty hello and that he had only stopped by in case I happened to know, about his cottonwood leaves and would they be OK to go into his compost because he had heard that there was too much tannin in them and that the microbes won’t like it. It was the last thing that I expected to come from a guy looking like that! So the moral of this story is ya never know when you’re going to meet a sheep in wolf’s clothing and a gardener in disguise. So in case you’re wondering yourself, cottonwood leaves are best shredded because their texture is tougher to break down and they do indeed have lots of tannin in them which
is fine, but they’re best mixed with other leaves, along with whatever else you can get your hands on such as grass clippings, wood chips (a little cedar is OK), clean ashes, rotten apples, needles, easily digestible-sized plants that you’re pulling out of your garden, kitchen waste and anything else tasty and nutritious
for your compost critters. Always make sure there’s enough moisture and cover it up to keep the rain and snow out. After all, variety is the spice of life, along with all the interesting people that might come along during your day! Happy fall everyone. See Gaiagardening. ca for more information and past columns.

first place. So there I was, zoned out and alone while busy raking and bagging, when the deep throaty throttle of a macho-sounding motorcycle slowly entered my brain as it approached me from behind and rumbled to a stop just steps away. I instantly snapped to attention, forcing myself to resist my natural female fight-or-flight instincts, but was nevertheless on high alert. I stood up to face this unexpected stranger, squared my shoulders to appear confident and instinctively took a step back. Sure as suspected, he was a burly, bearded brute straddling a black Harley hog, with eyes hidden behind dark glasses. “Was he some kind of hoodlum?” I could hear in my head, and maybe I should be calling the cops, I thought. As his muscle machine sputtered and stopped, the sudden silence became unsettling with only the occasional amplified sound of a leaf hitting the ground and my breathing. A quick glance down the street showed that it was deserted, that my deaf dog was still deep in sleep and that it was clear I was here to deal with this dude on my own with the rake being the only means of defence. Just why had this guy have to stop to see me, when there were so many others that he could’ve bugged instead? Up to this point, not a word had been spoken between us, so while he was hassling with his helmet strap, I began preparing myself for the

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Watch for the four symptoms of youth depression (NC) The school year can be a stressful time for parents and youth alike. Adapting to new schedules, new teachers and new challenges can heighten existing mental health problems and illness. In Canada, data shows approximately 5% of male youth and 12% of female youth, age 12 to 19, have experienced a major depressive episode. During this trying time of year, it’s especially important to be aware of your teen’s state of mind. Here are four symptoms to look out for related to youth depression from the Partners for Mental Health’s parent guide: 1. Loss of interest in life and activities: If your youth shows a lack of interest in day to day events, a negative attitude or an unwillingness to partake in activities they usually enjoy, they may be
facing a mental health problem or illness, such as depression. 2. Change in behaviours (eating/sleeping): Changes in sleeping and eating patterns may also be a sign that an issue exists. Symptoms can include anything from overeating, to not eating enough, to sleeping long hours, or sleeping very rarely. 3. Use of drugs or alcohol: An increase in reckless behaviour including drug and alcohol may also be a sign of a mental health problem or issue. Check in with your kids and make sure they have a healthy at-
titude towards drugs and alcohol. 4. Changes in personality: If you notice that your youth has experienced a drastic shift in personality, or sense of low self-esteem, it may be more than just the typical adolescent mood swing. B e i n g aware of the warning signs of mental health p ro bl e m s or illness, such as depression, and encouraging an open dialogue with your teen are just a few of the steps you can take to help support your youth’s mental health and prevent problems and suicide. However, keep
in mind that just because you notice one or more of these changes, it does not necessarily mean that your youth has a mental illness. But you should consider approaching them and seeking a professional opinion and/ or help. Additional information is available within the free parent guide from the national charity, Partners for Mental Health at www.rightbyyou. ca. Jeff Moat is the President of Partners for Mental Health, an organization that seeks to transform the way Canadians think about, act towards and support mental health and people living with a mental illness.

Sometimes, however, there are signs that can point to something more serious, such as ADHD, anxiety or depression. Mental illness, which data shows affects one in every five youth in Canada, can prevent a young person from performing in school or making friends, and in some instances, may lead to depression and even thoughts of suicide. Equally alarming are the reports showing that three out of four children and youth with a mental health

Most of the time, this is just a natural part of growing up. Young people are simply searching for their own personal identity.

Water rates raise ire in Enderby BLACK PRESS
Concerns over water rates boiled over as Enderby city council met Monday. Several residents crammed into council chambers to express frustration about mock bills that indicate what they would pay through water meters. “The gallery was full. It was standingroom-only,” said Coun. Raquel Knust. Before metered water rates are launched in 2015, the city has been sending out mock bills this year so residents can see how much water they use and adjust their consumption. A concern has arisen among the top four per cent of residential water users. “People were not fixing their leaks and they weren’t getting a true reading,” said Knust. “I understand what they are saying because I have a high bill.
But I understand that I need to bring in rain barrels and conserve water.” Instead of just relying on metered rates, council decided Monday to keep the flat user fee of $242, with a consumption charge not to exceed $1.38 per cubic meter for usage above 180 cubic meters. “As $242 is the flat rate that residents are currently being charged, the revenue received from the consumption charge is over what the city needs to run the water system and will be used to reduce the $242 flat rate,” said Jennifer Bellamy, chief financial officer. “Staff is to prepare a bylaw with the revised rates and bring it forward to council at the next council meeting.” The original goal of the mock bills was to urge people to curtail water use.
“Nobody took them seriously and didn’t look at them,” said Coun. Greg McCune. Metered water rates were structured to provide the city with

Rail concerns shared by B.C. communities By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Sicamous council learned it’s not alone in its concern over what potentially hazardous goods are passing through the community daily by rail. At the recent Union of BC Municipalities conference, Coun. George Busch attended a workshop on rail safety. He said the main emphasis of the workshop was how railway companies are becoming more strict about trespassing on their respective tracks. However, that wasn’t what was on the minds of most in attendance. “We were really more interested in the inherent dangers that come from a train wreck, as just happened… in Clair, Sask.,” said Busch, referring to the Oct. 7 incident where 26 CN railcars derailed. Two cars carrying liquid petroleum burst into flames, forcing the immediate evacuation of those who live/work in the vicinity. A length of broken rail is now believed to be the cause. “This brings to mind the inherent problem we have living here with the CPR,” said Busch, noting in the workshop it was discussed how remediation teams are at the ready for such incidents should they occur in
or near large urban centres. “A train derails between Sicamous and Malakwa, how long will it be before they come to remediate any of those problems?” said Busch. Another shared issue/concern said Busch, is that rail companies will not release details of what their trains are carrying until a year after the fact. “We want to know what it is we should be ready for, and we could, perhaps based on what they’ve done in the past, we can have our fire department and first responders try to be ready to do something about some of those spills,” said Busch, adding council must keep pressuring CP to better co-operate with fire departments and first responders. “All we have to do is think back… to Lac-Mégantic in Quebec, and the damage it did to that community, and try to realize what it might do to us, or Salmon Arm or Revelstoke,” said Busch, referring to the July 2013 derailment that resulted in the deaths of 42 people. “It seems that all of the communities that are on the rail tracks, the railway goes right through the centre of the community. If we ever had something like Lac-Mégantic, Sicamous would be pretty hard done by.”

Make an enlightened decision Every room in the house has its own lighting requirements. However, there a few general rules about home lighting that can help you guarantee a warm and welcoming living space. The experts recommend two types of lighting in a room. First, there is general lighting, which comes from a ceiling light or a halogen lamp. This kind of source sends a rather flat and bright light into the entire room. Second, there is supplementary lighting. This kind of lighting provides a more intimate and cozy atmosphere or highlights specific features in the room. Examples would be a table lamp in the hall or a pedestal lamp at the end of a sofa. This type of lighting is also used for kitchen countertops, workstations, or as a spotlight on a painting. For the latter purpose, table lamps and wall sconces can help you
achieve the desired result. In the kitchen, it is essential to have plenty of light in the sink and cooking areas. Here, recessed halogen lights with wide coverage are entirely appropriate. A pendant light fitting equipped with a dimmer for over the dining room table is perfect for either a family meal or a romantic supper for two. Be sure to install it at the correct height so that no one is dazzled when they look up. To encourage conversation in the living room, the focus should be on creating a quiet, cozy atmosphere by using several types of lights. Place recessed lights, torchiere floor lamps with different light intensities, and table lamps in strategic locations. You love to read in bed? Make sure the lamp on the bedside table is high enough to shed light on your favourite book without disturbing your loved one’s precious sleep.

The right kind of light in the right place can make all the difference in a room.
Suspended ceilings, transformed Would you like to add an elaborate and elegant cachet to your ceilings without having to invest large sums of money? A wide selection of suspended ceilings is now available, giving you the opportunity to create a room that feels just right. This kind of ceiling is not only more esthetically pleasing than a traditional ceiling, but it also improves a room’s acoustics and insulation. Suspended ceilings always come with a metal frame, which is interconnected by suspended railings at regular distances. The ceiling itself is laid over the framework. Ceilings can be wooden or PVC slats, rustic or modern paneling, decorative plaster tiles, and terracotta or ceramic ceiling bricks. Suspended ceilings are suitable for all types of supporting structures, whether they are made of wood, steel, or concrete. The space between the ceiling and the supporting structure, usually the roof or an upstairs floor, also allows for the concealment of electrical cables, the installation of an array of low voltage lights, or a ventilation system. This kind of ceiling is completely independent from the floor above, so there is a reduction in the level of noise vibrations passing through it; that is especially the case with impact noises, such as dropped objects. Best of all, suspended ceilings are easy to install and their low cost allows for the possibility of changing your home’s look more frequently.

Odd season launches Friday killing each other? This black comedy situated in New York City became the biggest grossing film in 1968, pulling in over $44.5 million.

The play opens Friday, Oct. 24 and runs to Nov. 8.

Group seeks help in raising funds A group of people is working to build a performing arts centre in Salmon Arm – and they need your help. “Many of us realize that dance, music, touring groups and large theatrical productions don’t have a great place to perform, so we are starting to raise funds,” says James Bowlby. “We don’t want your money just yet, just your votes.” Like Hockeyville, the group has become involved in a community program through Aviva Insurance.
Aviva Insurance gives a total of $1 million to community projects based on votes. Supporters just have to vote once a day from now to Nov. 3 and again from Nov. 20 to Dec. 4. “We need $100,000 to do initial preparations,” says Bowlby, encouraging community supporters throughout B.C. to register today and get voting – daily.

SPORTS Fine football
n Salmon Arm Bantam Chargers’ Luke Simmonds completes another carry during Kamloops Football Day on the weekend. In other football news, the Salmon Arm Golds Varsity team was up against one of the toprated teams in the province, Vernon Secondary, on Friday. The Golds played with heart and were down by 11 at the half. In the end they came up on the short end of the score, but showed they can play with some of the best teams in B.C. Their next game is Friday, Oct. 24, 6 p.m. against South Kamloops at the fields at Little Mountain. ALLEN DOUGLAS/BLACK PRESS
Big meet for Selkirk club Salmon Arm’s newest swim club, Columbia Shuswap Swimming, had its first meet on the weekend in Penticton. Eight members of the team travelled to Penticton to compete in the annual Penticton Pentathlon event (where swimmers swim all 15 swimming events). The team won 12 races including sweeping all the girls 200-metre butterfly events. The team was led By Chantel Jeffrey, 14, who won four individual races and the overall 14- and 15-year-old girls championship (total time for all 15 races). Molly Fogarty, 12, won two races, qualified for AAA Provincial Championships and finished second overall in the 12- and 13-year-old girls. Bree Cooper, 17, who trains in Salmon Arm but competes for West Kelowna, won six individual races and finished second overall in the 16-and-over girls. Ethan Skofteby, 11, and Lauren GridleyHaak, 11, both requalified for AAA provincials and both swimmers had the most improvement in the meet, taking well over 30 seconds off their best times in most races. Olin Mosher has several top 10 finishes including a strong fifth in the
200 fly and best times in the 14- and 15-year- old boys. Emma Pyle returned to competition after a long absence and
showed strong form and several top 20 finishes, while Ethan Pyle struggled to reach best times, but came roaring back in his final race to post a
best ever time in the 100 Individual Medley. Ethan Quilty had all top-15 finishes in the highly competitive 15and-over boys.

Great spiking Jewels
At the Last Spike volleyball tournament in Revelstoke on Oct. 17/18, the Salmon Arm Secondary Junior Jewels took on King’s Christian first, going to three games. Although King’s was in the lead 10-7, the Jewels came back to win 15-12. The next game was not so close with a polished Eagle River team dominating the scoreboard. The third game of the day showed a bit of fatigue for the Jewels, but it was a great effort by Cass Prevost, Jaden Turner and Janessa Zappone. In the final game of the day, SAS defeated Revelstoke handily with help from setter Paige Darbyson, Sophie Gervais, as well as power forward Ella Shykula-Ross and Brooke St Onge. The back row passing team worked well with Makenna Corston and Danika Sholinder. Paige Darbyson won the skills competition and Ella Shykula-Ross was named MVP of the tournament. The Junior Jewels host on Thursday, Oct. 23, 4 p.m. at the Jackson campus gym.

CHASE
Same score, different game The weekend from Oct. 17 to 19 saw the Chase Heat play three games, one at home and two on the road. The final result in all three was a 3-2 score, and the story goes like this: Friday the 17th the Heat hosted the Beaver Valley Nighthawks at Art Holding Memorial Arena. The Hawks got two in the first, prior to Chase getting the lone marker of the second, Logan Mostat from Cole Perison. In the third, the teams exchanged goals, Kaleb Boyle on the power play from Trevor Okino and Cody Hodges. Mike Byer stopped 28 of 31 shots faced in goal. Saturday the 18th, the Heat travelled to Quesnel to take on the 100 Mile Wranglers. Chase scored two in the first, Zach Fournier from Wes Matsuda and Mostat. The second goal was a shorthanded unassisted marker from Travis Beaubien. The Wranglers took over in the second and scored two

n Chase Heat #11 Kolten Moore shakes off #19 Jack Vergouwen of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and then looks for a way around #3 Lyle Frank. The Heat came up a little short, losing Friday night’s contest 3-2. to tie things up. In the third, local hockey product Hodges scored assisted by Beaubien and Boyle. Byer stopped 34 of 36 shots on goal. The final score was 3-2 for the Heat. Sunday afternoon the 19th saw the same two foes facing each other in the South Cariboo Rec Centre in 100 Mile. The Heat got the lone goal in the first, Kolten Moore from Connor Venne and Perison.
In the second period the Wranglers got two before Boyle, on the power play from Okino and Venne, tied things up. The game went into double overtime when Venne from Connor Harding scored to claim the victory. Byer, once again between the pipes, stopped 35 of 37 shots. The final was another 3-2 score. Over the weekend there were four new
faces in the Heat lineup: Shawn Wilson, a forward from Burns Lake; Mitchell Walters, a defenceman from Edmonton obtained in a trade with the Kelowna Chiefs; Daniel Toews, a goalie from his hometown of Chase; and Kyle Riley a young defenceman from Quesnel. Next home game is Friday the 24th at 7 p.m. versus the Spokane Braves.
have thick skin and be on top of your game. The audiences could consist of truckers, travelling salesmen, criminals, you name it – and if they didn’t like you – well, if the heckles didn’t break you the flying beer bottles would. Songs include favourites such as Ring of Fire, Leader of the Band, Walkin’ after Midnight, Stand by Me and Take it easy. Written by Voni Grindler and Andy Thoma, “Rock & Romance” features the many talents of Joani Bye, Lisa Lambert, Dave Pickell, Bill Buckingham, Tom Picket and Tim Porter, all Vancouver-based veterans of B.C.’s mu-
sic scene. The musical will be taking place at the Quaaout Lodge & Spa.

Heading to the roadhouse for memories Produced and directed by Voni Grindler of Jupiter productions and set to run Nov. 8 to 16, “Rock & Romance at the Roadhouse” is a musical remembering pop and country hits from the legendary roadhouses. In its day, the roadhouse was the bread and butter of a working musician and it was their home away from home – if they had a home – and the roadhouse became their office, studio, kitchen and bedroom. It’s where the term “I’m goin’ on the road” comes from. The roadhouse, like its grandfather the saloon, could be tough territory. As a performer you had to

A solid record on climate change
FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes The 2014 UN Climate Change Summit in New York was attended by our Minister of the Environment, the Hon. Leona Aglukkaq. Canada is the only country in the G7 that has lowered greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2012, GHGs were down by 5.1 per cent lower than in 2005, even though the economy grew by 10.6 per cent in that same time period. Canada produces only two per cent of the world’s greenhouse gases but that does not give Canada a pass on
implementing responsible and science-based policies that lower our GHGs. Most people are not aware that 75 per cent of Canada’s electricity supply emits no greenhouse gases. Your government’s policy regulating the auto manufactures to meet lower emission standards and better fuel mileage has created huge benefits for Canadians and our environment. Our government also set emission targets for the coal-fired electric producers, mostly located in Ontario, and they have either upgraded their coal-fired electrical plants with scrubbers or shut them down. Your government developed the Green Transformation Fund to assist the pulp and paper industry to transition to biomass electrical generation. I was at a meeting with the Greater Van-
couver Transit Commission and the executives stated that our government’s investment in transit in Vancouver had taken tens of thousands of cars off the road to the point that their revenues from the Transit Gas Tax was down significantly because less gas was being sold in the region. This is a win for grid lock and the environment, and that is why we invest in transit in our major cities across Canada. Our government’s response to protecting the environment is to implement commonsense solutions, without compromising our economic growth. Climate change is a fact. What causes attribute to that change is still being studied. The Government of Canada’s scientists are studying the cause and impacts. You must have no-
ticed that activists have changed their chant from ‘global warming’ to ‘climate change’. This is because the polar ice cap has increased in the last two years by 40 per cent, the polar bear population is at a 20-year high, the glaciers in the Himalayas are not disappearing and ocean levels have not risen. Information from environmental activists is not always accurate, and that is why your government researches the information scientifically before making knee-jerk environmental policy changes that could cost billions of dollars. We take our responsibility seriously to protect the environment on behalf of Canadians, not to get votes, but because it is the right thing to do. - Colin Mayes is the Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Shuswap.

More than just Jack-O’-Lanterns Living WELL October is the month for pumpkins. Pumpkins grow well in our area, and are in abundance at this time of year. When most people think of pumpkins, Jack-O’-Lanterns and pies are usually what come to mind but these nutritious, versatile and hardy gourds can be so much more. Did you know the world’s largest pumpkin weighed in at over 1,600 pounds? Even more surprising is that in some communities people hollow out pumpkins, make them into boats and have annual pumpkin boat races. If you don’t
believe me … look it up on the Internet. Like other types of squash, pumpkins are full of nutrients. Their deep orange-coloured flesh is packed with beta-carotene. This is an antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease and cancer. Pumpkins are also a good source of vitamin C, potassium and fibre. Pumpkin pie is a popular treat but pumpkin can be used for so much more. Try it in cookies, pancakes, loaves, muffins, soups and more. When choosing a pumpkin for cooking, look for one that is
smaller and heavy for its size. When carving your Halloween Jack-O’Lantern be sure to save the seeds for roasting. Baked pumpkin seeds are a healthy snack and they are easy

to make. Just rinse the pumpkin seeds to remove pulp then lay the seeds on a piece of paper towel to dry. Next, put the seeds in a bowl with a bit of vegetable
oil and your favourite flavouring (Mrs. Dash, seasoning salt, or cinnamon and brown sugar.) Finally, spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350° F, stirring occasionally until light brown and crispy (about 15 to 25 minutes).

Oil: Blindsided by technology GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer “The price of oil will hit its floor and it will rise again,” President Nicolas Maduro assured Venezuelans, whose shaky economy depends critically on a high oil price. “Venezuela will continue with its social plans. Venezuela will move forward.” No it won’t, and neither will Russia, Iran, or Nigeria. The only major oil exporters that are not in deep trouble are the Arab countries, whose governments have some room to manoeuvre because of low production costs, relatively small populations, and big foreign currency reserves. Since June the cost of a barrel of Brent crude, the benchmark for world oil prices, has fallen by almost a
quarter, from around $110 a barrel (where it was stuck for the past four years) to just above $80 a barrel. Last month, for the first time in decades, Nigeria exported no oil at all to the United States. Even at a big discount, Americans just don’t need it. And the main reason for all that is fracking. American production has almost doubled in the past five years thanks to the new drilling technologies, and the United States overtook Russia last year to become the world’s largest producer of oil and gas combined. (Saudi Arabia comes a distant third.) With production soaring and world demand for oil stalling due to slow economic growth, a collapse in prices was inevitable. The question is how far they will collapse, and for how long. The answer is probably not much further, for the moment – but they could easily stay down in the $75-$85 range for a couple of years. The reason for that is that the “swing”
producers (mostly Arab), who could theoretically push prices back up by cutting their own production, have clearly decided not to do so. Their concern is for the long-term power of the OPEC cartel, which used to be strong enough to set the price of oil. That never will be true again unless they can drive the (mainly American) frackers who are causing the over-supply of oil out of business. Saudi Arabia and its allies are hoping that a prolonged period when the price of a barrel of oil is lower than the cost of getting that barrel out of the ground by fracking will ruin this new industry and bring back the “good old days. Dream on. The Saudi strategy won’t work because some 98 percent of US crude oil and condensates has a break-even price of below $80 per barrel. Indeed, 82 percent of American production would still be turning a profit at $60 per barrel. Even with its massive foreign currency
reserves, Saudi Arabia probably cannot afford to keep the oil price low enough for long enough to break the American frackers. (Its own break-even price for conventional oil is $93 per barrel.) And the Iranians, Nigerians, Venezuelans and Russians, who depend on oil revenues for at least half of their national budgets, will be screaming for higher prices before they face riots in the streets. So this is not a transient event; it’s a revolution. The Organization of PetroleumExporting Countries (OPEC) came into its own when the United States ceased to be the dominant global producer in the early 1970s. With the re-emergence of the United States as the biggest producer, OPEC’s clout is bound to shrink – so oil prices will probably stay well below $100 a barrel for the foreseeable future. Of course, a broader view of our situation would find little reason for rejoicing in all this. Our global civilization depends on fossil
fuels for 85 percent of its energy, and our annual emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are still rising. Just another 25 years of that will deliver us to the “point of no return”: 450 parts per million of CO2 equivalent in the atmosphere. That would raise the average global temperature by two degrees C, and trigger natural sources of warming that it will be impossible for us to turn off again. Runaway warming is not a happy prospect, so it is unseemly to celebrate the news that we have even more oil to burn – and cheaper oil, at that. On the other hand, it would be entirely appropriate to celebrate the news that other new technologies may open up a better escape route from fossil fuels. Solar power, wind power, nuclear fission, and hydro power all have a role to play in that task, but the Holy Grail for half a century has been fusion power. It may be much closer than we thought.

A Loving Farewell JEAN ISABEL FULLER NOVEMBER 26, 1924 – October 14, 2014 On a glorious fall day, October 14, 2014, our family bid a loving farewell to Jean, our precious mother, grandmother, great grandmother, beloved sister and aunt. We celebrate her life and live in gratitude for her love. Jean has always been an inspirational mother to Lynda Wilson (Lorne), Marge Huk (Mike) and Dawn Ivanko (John). She treasured her ten grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren. Jean’s brother, Robert Davies, and sister, Marge Barrett, were always held dear to her heart and she loved her many nieces and nephews. Jean was predeceased by her beloved husband of sixty-two years, John, her parents, Charles and Kathleen Davies, her sister, Marjorie Barrett, and her grandson, Andrew Wilson. Our mum was a proud Quebecois. For eighty years, Montreal was home. She grew up in a close knit, large, extended family which shared a love of song, dance, laughter and good times with loved ones. That rich tradition was shared as we grew up. Her love of animals and nature was fostered by summers spent with her dear sister and her beloved grandparents on the farm. Growing up during the Depression, times were tough but Mum learned the value of hard work and thrift; she developed resilience and strength, qualities she carried with her throughout life. Mum was an avid learner. After graduating from Montreal’s Canadian Commercial College with a secretarial diploma, she worked as an executive secretary for several companies, including a high fashion manufacturer and an international hotel chain. Her career brought her great satisfaction. In her late fifties, she attended college once again where she obtained a diploma in social work. Later in life, Mum became a frequent participant in Elderhostel programs where she was able to fulfill her love of travel and learning. Truly, a lifelong learner. The challenge of sports excited Mum. In her teen years, she was an avid skier, skater and swimmer. In her sixties and seventies, she could be found donning a pair of roller blades, cross country skis, or hiking boots. What a girl! Kindness and generosity were instilled in Mum from an early age. An avid volunteer, Mum dedicated time to Meals on Wheels, the Victoria Order of Nurses foot care program, and the Cancer Society, where she accompanied people to appointments and treatments. Many hearts were touched by her caring and kindness. May we live by her example. Throughout our lives, Mum was known for her strength, principles and integrity. We were not surprised when she announced in her seventies that she was attending rallies and carrying placards to protest the new language laws imposed by the Quebec Government. When our dad experienced delays with admission to the Veteran’s Hospital in Montreal, it was our mum who wrote letters to the editor, to her MP, and her MLA. Needless to say, the matter was dealt with promptly. That was our mum! At eighty years of age, with our Dad suffering from Alzheimer’s, Mum pulled up stakes and moved from Montreal to Salmon Arm to be close to her daughter, Lynda. How courageous she was! With the support of staff and residents of Piccadilly Terrace, she forged a new life. She found the people of Salmon Arm welcoming and very kind. With her passion for bridge, she made many new friends and found fulfillment sharing many good times with others. Mum’s seven years at Piccadilly Terrace enriched her life immeasurably. Mum was a strong, independent woman who opened her heart to the needs of others with caring and kindness. She had the power to see the beauty within. We have been so blessed. Jean’s great kindness and her immense love of life and family will always live in our hearts. Our family offers heartfelt thanks to the staff of the Good Samaritan Hillside Village and Shuswap Lodge for the care, compassion, and kindness they offered our Mum on a daily basis. A celebration of our mum’s life was held on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014 at Bowers Funeral Chapel with Bishop James Cowan officiating. Memorial donations in Jean’s name can be made to the Good Samaritan – Hillside Village or the Shuswap Hospice Society.

BISCHOFF, KENNETH BRYAN (BARNEY) God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be So he wrapped his arms around you, And whispered, “Come to me” Barney passed quietly on the farm on June 28, 2014 after his hard fought battle with ALS. Linda, his “bride” of 39 years at his side. Barneys love, infectious humor and profound energy will be greatly missed by his two sons Charlie (Elisha) and Bruce (Cindy), his three grandchildren Sophia, Colton and Aurora. He is also survived by his brother Gerry (Patty), two sisters Shirley and Debbie and mother-in-law Gail Stewart. And “The Bischoff Clan” You didn’t deserve what you went through So he gave you rest. God’s farm must be beautiful, He only takes “The Best” July 5, 2014, was a day of overflowing love, great sadness and disbelief as the Bischoff families and friends paid their respects to Barney Bischoff. He was and always will be a pioneer of the North Shuswap and truly a legend of his time. Tears of love and laughter filled the hall freely as Dona (Myers) Baker read the Eulogy. Kevin Trotter, Ian Bischoff and Brian Campbell officiated the celebration of life in true Barney style. Ian and his son Ben each sang heartfelt songs. Barney was filled to the brim with love and never ending energy. He wore the many hats that life gave him comfortably. Guaranteed there was never a dull moment when he was around. Barney could wear a person out just listening and watching him. The great outdoors was his playground and he relished and treasured every part of it, from working in the bush and farming , to playing in it fishing, hunting or trapping. He coached and played baseball and hockey. He was the first Bischoff involved in Loggers Sports and still holds the record for the Obstacle Pole. Thank you for all of the donations made to the ALS Society. Online condolences may be sent through Barney’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

Big-box stores excluded from liquor sales By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
VICTORIA – Large grocery stores are the only retailers eligible to add a separate liquor store under new B.C. government regulations set to take effect in the spring of 2015.
To qualify for a space to sell alcoholic beverages, stores must have at least 929 square metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space and groceries as 75 per cent of their sales, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced. The restrictions are
designed to exclude general merchandise and “big box” stores as well as convenience stores, according to a ministry statement. Eligible stores will be permitted to create a “store within a store” with separate cash registers and staff, or “co-brand”
with liquor stores outside their existing facilities. The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation. Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five kilometres from their
original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province. That would allow existing government or private liquor stores to relocate in partnership with grocery stores, while maintaining the
conducted earlier this year, is still being studied. Anton said the system “strikes a balance of added convenience for consumers and support for B.C.’s business sector, while at the same time respecting health and public safety considerations.”
