Video captures avalanche rescue
Inside

MARKET NEWS STAFF
Even when you’re doing everything right when sledding in the backcountry, things can still go terribly wrong. Curtis Johnson, Gord Bushell, Bruce Moores and Dan Morin learned this during a recent outing at Blue Lake. The four experienced snowmobilers (Morin and Moores are past presidents of the Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club, and Bushell is the club’s current general manager), were out for day’s sledding in the backcountry above the club’s chalet and groomed trails. While the avalanche rating was high, the snow conditions were good in the early morning. But, as it warmed up, conditions started to degrade and snow started sloughing. “So we went to that area where there’s not a big incline or anything like that,” said Bushell, who noted Johnson was recording their trip with his helmet-mounted camera. “We were just playing it safe and, unfortunately Curtis, if you watch his video, he ended up getting bumped uphill, which got him up on a side hill. As soon as he started on the side hill it let go and swallowed him up.” In the video, posted at h t t p s : / / w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=4ErgflozT38, more than two minutes pass before the camera’s lens is uncovered. But Bushell says it was a matter of seconds before Johnson’s face was dug out and they could confirm he was OK. “Curtis was able to get his hand
up, just his glove came up… and Bruce was right there to dig him out, dig his helmet and face out,” said Bushell, adding it took the about 10 minutes to free Johnson completely. “He couldn’t move. It’s like concrete when it sets up on you after it stops. He was pretty twisted up and everything… we had to be careful to figure out where his feet were. His feet were behind him and the sled was about three or four feet away, and it was completely buried too.” Calls to Johnson were not returned by press time. Bushell can be seen in the video digging, with Morin on his left and Moores off camera on his right. “That was a scary moment,” said Bushell, who estimates the slide was about 20 metres wide. After Johnson was freed, Bushell said he wanted to carry on, so the four men did just that, stopping for lunch soon after. “He wasn’t very talkative so I said, ‘it’s time to go, we’re going home.’ So I took Curtis home and Bruce and Dan carried on and finished the day up,” said Bushell. Despite their extensive sledding experience, Bushell says the incident was educational for all involved. “It’s a real wake-up call to how little of a slope can slide,” said Bushell. “We see it all the time, but when you’re actually in it, it’s a different story. I think we all came away from that learning something – just a little avalanche like that – differ-

sledders,” said Bushell. “You can’t be wandering off. People that wander off don’t usually have sledders who want to sled with them. When you wander off, things like that happen all the time.”

James Hanna, apple grower
the Arctic apple, Salmon Arm grower James Hanna said he won’t be growing them, but he’s not as concerned as he might have been. “It’s not that they’ve added anything to it, they’ve more or less taken out the gene that produces the enzyme… which might be a little more tenable than adding genetic material from another organism. That, I think, would be totally untenable.” Okanagan Tree Fruits states Arctic apples will be sold in small quantities next year. “Over the next couple years, we will be working hard with our grower partners to get as many Arctic trees in the ground as we can. With the support of our friends in the apple industry, and eager consumers alike, we hope to have small, test-market quantities of fruit available starting in late 2016, with greater availability each year thereafter.”

The BC Fruit Growers Association would like you to be able to make the choice whether you eat genetically modified apples. On Feb. 15, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the Arctic Apple produced by Okanagan Specialty Fruits in Summerland. The Arctic Apple is promoted as a ‘non-browning’ apple because a genetic trait has been altered so it doesn’t brown when bruised, bitten or sliced. Five weeks later, on March 20, Health Canada announced its approval of the Arctic Apple. This approval surprised the fruit growers association, as it wasn’t expected so quickly. John Steele, president of the association that represents 520 commercial tree fruit growers, stated in a news release that the Arctic Granny Smith
Okanagan Tree Fruits is opposed to labelling its apples as genetically modified but will label them as Arctic apples.

and the Arctic Golden Delicious should be labelled as genetically modified, so consumers know what they’re getting. The fruit growers are concerned the Arctic apples, if unlabelled as genetically altered, could drive away consumers from all apples. “The government needs to ensure consumers can make good decisions and, if there is to be choice on purchasing genetically modified foods, then the choice should be apparent,” said Steele. The website of the Summerland agriculture biotechnology company states: “Our corporate focus is to work with plant traits that would be impossible or extremely difficult to introduce through conventional breeding. Recent outputs from tree fruit genomics programs now provide us with candidate genes to make this type of molecular breeding possible.”

Protesting cuts to health care By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Raincoats, ponchos and umbrellas were the order of the day as some 30 people gathered in front of Shuswap Lake General Hospital Tuesday to protest federal cuts to health care. Organized by Jody Berg, regional vicepresident of the B.C. Interior for the Hospital Employers Union, the protest featured a speech by federal NDP candidate Jacqui Gingras. A downpour began in concert with Gingras’ speech in which she accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his majority government of being determined to kill Medicare. “Half a century ago, a handful of Canadian leaders brought forth one of the greatest achievements in our nation’s political history,” she said. “Treasured by our citizens and envied by our neighbours, public health care is more than just a vital service, it has become a powerful symbol of the values that make us Canadian.” Gingras told her hardy audience that Medicare represents the best of what it means to be Canadian. To dismantle the system is unthinkable and un-Canadian, she declared. “If public health care bestows so many benefits, why are we marking the one-year anniversary of the beginning of the demise of this valued system,” she said, of the Conservative Government’s 2014 removal of the equalization portion of Canada’s Health Transfer from the budget.
Gingras said the prime minister had gone about the move in a very stealthy way by announcing in late 2011 that there would be no negotiations with the provinces regarding the expiring Health Accord. “It was a dull announcement and it was virtually ignored,” Gingras said. “What that actually meant was that in 2017, Harper’s formula, which is now law, will reduce health care spending by $36 billion. This will result in a $5 billion cut to B.C. alone.” Gingras called for people to make their wishes known through the power of voting. “For people of all political affiliations and for people who have never voted previously, our actions on Oct. 19, 2015 could be the most important ever.” Retired Salmon Arm doctor, John Henderson said he attended the rally because universal health care is important. “We have to keep it going and I am afraid the feds are not committed to it,” he said. Following the rally, Anne Morris says she is very concerned about a lack of funding to extend operating room hours and to

Province ups the ante against mussels By Richard Rolke
MARKET NEWS STAff
The fight against potential invaders has been given a boost. The provincial government announced Tuesday it will pump $1.3 million into early detection and rapid response for quagga and zebra mussels. “In combination with what the federal government is doing, it sounds like everything OBWB wanted the province to do,” said Bob Fleming, Okanagan Basin Water Board director. “It brings us closer to what Alberta has been doing.” The invasive mussel defence program begins operation in April for the 2015 boating season and consists of: • Three mobile decontamination units. • Six trained auxiliary conservation officers. • Highway signage throughout the province. • Expanded monitoring of the area for zebra
and quagga mussels. • Report All Poachers or Polluters response line coverage. • Increasing clean, drain, dry education and outreach activities. Teams will inspect boats entering B.C. from Alberta and if needed, decontaminate them to ensure mussels aren’t brought into the province. They also will respond to boats from the U.S. identified as a concern by the Canadian Border Services Agency, as well as agencies. Zebra and quagga mussels have spread across North America since the 1980s. They clog water intake pipes, pumps and boat motors. They also deplete food sources for fish and produce toxins that kill fish and birds and contaminate drinking water. OBWB has estimated that the direct cost and lost revenue if the mussels take hold in the region are $42 million annually.

VIEW POINT
Living wages boost economy The ability to hold slippery opinions seems to be a must for legislative reporters who support the government. As long as clawbacks were Liberal government policy, Tom Fletcher really didn’t have a problem with them. Now that they are seen as a political embarrassment, he still thinks that it was valid, but sees the other side as well: that children weren’t getting the benefit of child support payments. Come election time, he will be lauding Christie Clark for ending the policy. Similarly, he now admits that the increase to minimum wage is “paltry,” but thinks that a $15 an hour minimum wage is a socialist dream world. Although I lived for 20 years on a socialist kibbutz, I admit I still don’t know what such a dream world looks like. My experience was that it was pretty much like anywhere
else. What I do know is that Henry Ford (not exactly anyone’s choice for a ‘leader of socialist industry’ award) figured out almost 100 years ago that if you pay your workers living wages, they buy your products and you get rich. If Tom wants to call that a socialist dream world, so be it. A higher minimum wage for everyone means that small businesses run by owneroperators can afford to pay themselves a higher wage as well: they aren’t competing against slave labourers working for peanuts. Unionizing the large
chains like Walmart and McDonalds would be even better: independent owner operators would be looking at a return similar to union rates for their own efforts, everyone would have more money to spend, and spend they would. Richard Smiley Anglemont

Local spending, better economy
The closure of Target stores this past week was not something to laugh off, be dismissive of or apathetic about. It was devastating. It was harsh and it was something Canadian communities are unfortunately becoming used to. Remember when Sears was everywhere? For that matter, remember when Eatons ruled the urban centre, or even the great deals we used to get at Zellers? Analysts have pointed out that with a rapidly diminishing middle class, consumer meccas such as shopping malls, all containing an ‘anchor’ big-box store, are becoming a thing of the past. The only real growth in that kind of shopping experience has been with dollar stores, which says something about what we choose to do with our meagre disposable income. A new industrial mover and shaker coming to the community would spur economic development and make it attractive to another big box store. But there is another, not as flashy but equally beneficial way to better the area’s economic outlook. David D. Hull, the new executive director with the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce, says if the chamber, along with the city and local business, could increase the bottom line of every business by 10 per cent, the cumulative effect would be astounding. Another tried and true way to boost the economy: shop local. Not flashy by any means, but a loyal and local, consumer base can do wonders for a community. Every dollar spent here stays here and multiplies as it gets spent over and over. –Kootenay Advertiser

Well worth the price of a licence
In all the years that I’ve been fishing, I have only been asked once to produce my fishing licence – which I did, so all was well. Afterwards, I remember chatting with the conservation officer for a few minutes before he went on his way. As far as fishing licences go, this year will be a bit of a milestone for me. This coming fishing season I will be purchasing my 50th fishing licence. I think I’ve probably caught pretty near as many fish as I’ve bought fishing licences. I do know that in all those years, I have never once begrudged the cost of my Freshwater Fishing Licence. It is but one way that I can help support conservation in the province. This year, under an agreement between the Province of BC and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC (effective April 1) 100 per cent of the revenue generated from fishing licences will directly benefit angling in the province. Under the agreement, approximately $10 million will be to be transferred to the FFSBC for the 2015-16 season, an
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray increase of some $3 million. In 2003, the province signed a 30-year contract with the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC to be a non-profit delivery partner with a mandate to conserve and enhance freshwater fishing opportunities in B.C. The agreement has been subsequently amended (effective April 1) to reflect the additional revenue that will be directed to the society. The FFSBC’s primary focus has been on stocking a significant number of smaller lakes in the province. This year’s additional funding will allow the FFSBC to work with
provincial biologists to improve angling opportunities in even more small lakes, as well as a number of larger lakes and rivers. It will also go toward angler access improvements, stock assessments to help inform management decisions, resources to enhance capacity for compliance monitoring and enforcement on both stocked and wild lakes and rivers. Over the past 50 years, I have also made a point of reading through the fishing regulations. In B.C. each angler receives copy of the Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis when they purchase their licence at a Service BC centre or local angling licence vendor - such as a local fishing tackle store. It is vitally important to read the synopsis, especially as it pertains to the areas where you plan on fishing. Many lakes and streams have specific regulations at specific times of the year and on specific areas of certain lakes and streams. Failure to read the regulations is no excuse for having broken the law and
fines can be substantial. As in past years, all money raised through the surcharge goes to habitat conservation. Copies of the 2015-17 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis are now available both online and in print. The 100-page publication contains a list of regional regulations, as well as all the major regulation changes for 2015-17 fishing seasons. To find the 201517 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis online, go to www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/ fish. Print copies are available at Service BC centres and local angling licence vendors throughout B.C. There are at least two good things about having purchased 50 years of fishing licences. One is that it now only costs me $5 for my licence. The other is that I have a genuine sense of satisfaction that I’ve contributed to both sport fishing and the conservation of fish and fish habitat in the province. Any way you look at it, the price of a fishing licence is money well spent.

Shuswap Tourism provides many returns
DirecTor’S noTeS Paul Demenok
Sicamous Business Directory
Unlike most local government functions, Shuswap Tourism provides substantial economic paybacks. In 2010, tourism contributed $1.73 billion to the regional (Thompson Okanagan) economy. According to the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA), key reasons why visitors come here include opportunities for sightseeing, nature experiences, wildlife viewing and visiting friends and family; however, other additional activities commonly participated in while here included shopping, hiking, and visiting wineries. So while people may be initially attracted to the natural attributes of our region, this evolves
into participation in other activities with economic paybacks. Partners in Shuswap Tourism include: Salmon Arm, Sicamous, Enderby, Chase, and CSRD Areas C, D, E and F. Involvement of multiple partners enables leveraging of dollars, expertise and resources to achieve more than any partner could on its own. Some of the accomplishments of include: • Significant increases in demand for highly popular Shuswap Tourism travel guides including 15,000 trail, 40,000 vacation, 8500 cycle, 5000 motor touring, 5000 farm tour, and 2500 nordic/ snowshoeing guides in 2015. Vacation guides are projected to generate $50,000 in revenue in 2015, which is then re-invested back into Shuswap Tourism. If you haven’t seen these guides, please pick them up. They’re excellent! • Increased use of the outstanding Shuswap Tourism website from 42,332 users 2011 to 114,887 users and
581,368 page views in 2014. • Eleven media tours with 35 participants in 2014. An expenditure of $19,000 from Shuswap Tourism and another $19,000 from partners, generated over $110,000 in media coverage; a pretty good return-on-investment. This media coverage produced hundreds of thousands of exposures in Canada, USA, Europe, India, and Japan to The Shuswap. • Personal contacts with over 25,000 people at events such as the Roots & Blues Festival, Adams River Salmon Run, Vancouver and Calgary Outdoor Shows and the Edmonton Motorcycle Show. • And as a regional tourism organization, Shuswap Tourism receives annual grants of $21,000 from TOTA and Destination BC, and in-kind contributions of $25,000 annually from other organizations. These grants would not be available if Shuswap Tourism did not represent a regional tourism strategy and organization.
Shuswap Tourism is a clear example of how a collaborative regional initiative can be successful in generating significant and greater economic paybacks than what any individual partner would achieve. We look forward to seeing further growth in our tourism sector as new initiatives from Shuswap Tourism are rolled out in the years to come. -Paul Demenok is the Area C Director for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

Fiona arrived at the SPCA with many of her siblings. Fiona may come across as shy or reserved at first but when she is happy she will purr, knead the ground, and roll over to show off her belly. She likes gentle pets and scratches near her tail. She is used to being an indoor only cat and has no had experience being outside in her life. She would do best in a cat experienced home where she can have calm quiet time to adjust to her new lifestyle. Fiona gets along well with other cats so a multi cat home would be great. Once lots of cuddle time is provided, Fiona will become the cat you love so much.

Tree Pruning Many homeowners are content to leave healthy trees alone. However, trees eventually must be pruned or removed if they become safety risks or pose other threats. Trees with roots that are damaging home foundations or those with limbs overhanging property limits or power lines can be troublesome. Although homeowners can handle relatively minor tree maintenance, for a variety of reasons, many tree projects are best left to the professionals.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Dealing with the cancer blues is the un-named symptom for women (NC) Fear and uncertainty become constant companions when a woman is diagnosed with cancer. In fact, for a majority of women, a cancer diagnosis unleashes as many emotional symptoms as physical ones. And studies that show that while there are steady advances in the way the medical system understands and treats the disease, the emotional aspect of a cancer diagnosis is often ignored and rarely addressed. A national cancer support organization has set out to change that. Beauty Gives Back is the charitable foundation of the Canadian beauty industry — and the Cancer Blues is the name the group has given to the emotional fallout from cancer and its treatment, a consequence of the disease that can affect a woman’s ability to fight and endure through the difficult ordeal of cancer. Dr. Alexandra Ginty has witnessed cancer from both sides, as both a physician and as a cancer
survivor. Diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in 2011, Ginty was surprised by the emotional turmoil she experienced. “It was overwhelming,” she says, recalling the day she received her diagnosis. “It all happened so fast: surgeries, complications, chemo, genetic testing, a hysterectomy, delivering the bad news about my results to my family. I felt vulnerable, scared and uncertain. That is simply not a feeling that I am comfortable with and did not own. I felt edgy,
fragile and alone.” Studies show that 87% of cancer survivors describe at least one psychosocial issue as ‘moderate’ or ‘severe’. Ginty says her cancer experience has given her a greater appreciation for the psychosocial challenges her patients face on their cancer journey. “Women need to know that these feelings — fear, grief, sadness and anxiety over not looking like yourself — can all be part of their cancer experience but they don’t need to suffer
in silence. By giving this malady a name, the Cancer Blues, it makes it easier for women to acknowledge and discuss their feelings. It gives them permission to ask for help.” For more than 20 years, Beauty Gives Back has supported tens of thousands of women through the ‘cancer blues’ with programs such as Look Good Feel Better, a cosmetic and hair alternatives workshop, and FacingCancer.ca, an online support community. Ginty has

benefitted from both programs and says the importance of resources such as these cannot be understated. “A Look Good Feel Better workshop helps you look like yourself through treatment, which may seem like a small thing, but symptoms like hair loss and skin changes can be a source of sadness and anxiety for so many of us,” she explains. “It turns us into walking billboards for our illness. By taking away some of that anxiety and having fun while you do it, you’re releasing hormones that can help you through pain and stress. It boosts your confidence and resilience, which can help you cope better. “Also, by giving women a chance to connect with other women facing similar challenges, both of these programs erase some of the isolation you feel with cancer,” Ginty adds.

Citizens rally to rescue cat By Tracy Hughes
MARKET NEWS STAff
It was a challenging assignment – a black cat, approximately 60 feet up a tree on a dark, windy night. But to the people worried about the anxious animal, a rescue couldn’t wait. The black cat, owner unknown, was heard yowling by a number of people at the Sorrento Park and as time passed, concerned animal lovers pondered what to do. Sandy Nicholson was one of the first to spot the cat at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, March 26. “I was about to leave and I heard this distressed meowing. It took a few minutes before I realized it was not coming from the ground, but from way, way up in a tree,” said Nicholson. When her coaxing words didn’t work, Nicholson was forced to leave. “I was heartbroken to have to leave it stuck there,” she said. The SPCA and fire department do not do cat rescues from trees, as they are not properly trained to climb trees, nor do they have the insurance to attempt these kind of rescues. So Nicholson phoned a friend, Crystal Sprin-
gall, to try and come up with a solution. They turned to Facebook. Soon one message turned into more than 100. Enter Barbara Gosselin, an animal lover and worker at the Shuswap SPCA. By this time, it was late evening, but the idea of the cat spending another night stuck up the tree was difficult to stomach. So Gosselin volunteered to front the costs of the rescue and managed to convince Steve Beals of Vertical Tree Care to take on the task that night. “It was pretty crazy. By the time Steve got to the cat and grabbed him, there was about a three-inch diameter of tree trunk left,” she said. Beals tucked the cat into a backpack and brought him safely back to solid ground. The next day Gosselin took him to the vet for a check up and a shave down, due to the terrible matts in his coat – which gave him his new name “Matthew.” He has now been taken to the SPCA, where he is being held for four business days as a stray in hopes that his owner may claim him. After that, he would be put up for adoption. Some of the people following the saga on
phoTo coNTRibuTEd
n “Matthew” hides in a corner while he gulps down two plates of food after being stuck in a tree at the Sorrento Park. Facebook have made contributions towards Gosselin’s payment for the $400 rescue, but Springall is encourag-
ing more contributions. Any money raised over the cost of the bill would be donated to the Shuswap SPCA shelter.

The last one-room school at Brennan Creek
SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman Continuing the community tour, we head to Shuswap’s second northernmost community of Brennan Creek on Adams Lake, where logging has always been the economic driver. The creek is named for Billy Brennan, a dominion forester who cruised timber and surveyed in the region. Billy stayed at a cabin built by the area’s only homesteader, Bill Henderson, who was often away. In the winter he was a highly valued hockey player and there is still a competition cup named after him on display in Kamloops. By 1910, the Adams River Lumber Company (ARLC) had hundreds of men logging in 24 different camps around the lake. Warehouses and docks were built at both ends of the lake and at Brennan Creek. In 1918, ARLC built a 10-kilometre long flume to access timber in the upper valley, where Jack Nixon ran the logging show with two camps. It was a most efficient transportation system, as the logs were boomed at the lake and then towed down to the river by the 123-ft. long A.R. Hellen sternwheeler. When the ARLC shut down in 1925, so did most of the in-
dustrial activity at Adams Lake. Settlers took away most of the timbers and buildings and the only one left at Brennan Creek was a lonely trapper staying in the Henderson’s cabin. In 1934, the famous Eberts family moved to the homestead and lived there until 1946. The father was the editor of The Province newspaper and his son Tony, was a well-known Province columnist. After the Second World War, Mac Allen arrived to run a logging operation for Art Holding’s new sawmill at the base of Adams Lake and he too stayed in the old cabin. Mac was frustrated trying to maintain a logging crew made up of bachelors, as many would leave after payday. His solution was to apply for a special use permit for a logging camp with 12 one-acre lots that were leased to families. Additional permits were granted to other logging families and soon there was a community. When the children reached school age, the community worked together to build the school with lumber from the sawmill. The school opened in 1958 with 12 students and the first teacher was Alice MacDougall, who had been born in Brennan Creek. Her father, Bill Fraser, originally worked for the ARLC as a logger and he directed the logs after they came down the flume, into booms. Her uncle, Dave Fraser, worked on the Hellen and later ran the tugboats, a business
that was later passed on to his son Frank. It was a very isolated community in the early days before there was a road along the lake, and the community had to be resourceful. They set up their own electrical utility, with an engineered hydroelectric system and diesel generator for backup. A concrete dam was built across Spapilem Creek above the waterfall. The engineered system included 300 feet of four-inch pipe dropping to a pelton wheel that often produced more power than the community could use. The difficult maintenance schedule included having to weld shut the cracks from winter freeze-ups whenever the frost arrived before the pipes were drained. The community was no doubt very pleased when BC Hydro ran power lines up the lake in 1975. We recently drove up to Brennan Creek to see first hand the community and the nearby waterfalls. Our first stop was Marnie’s Bay, the site of the old homestead that is now an RV resort. Heading south along the lake, we found Brennan Creek falls in full force. Nearly 100 years ago, the flume emptied into the lake just south
of the falls. Just north of the community, Spapilem Creek flows under the road into the lake at Long Point where there is an old trapper’s cabin that was built by Andy McConnell in the 1930s and later used by the forest service. We hiked the short trail to the scenic falls that roar out of the rocky hillside. Next to the falls are the remains of the powerhouse, the concrete foundation and a pipe sticking out of the hillside. The highlight was hiking above the main falls from a nearby gravel pit, where the canyon is deep and narrow and the rocks are covered in an array of mosses, ferns and lichens. We stopped briefly to visit with the late Mac Allen’s son Pat, who now runs the logging operation. To the south of the logging camp is the old Brennan Creek Landing, now the site of a popular public campground and the school, now boarded up after it closed in 2012, the last one-room school to operate in the Shuswap. Nearby, is the community hall, a large log building constructed in 1984 and used for holiday get-togethers, ball tournaments and weddings.

Project repairs erosion on Chase Creek By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Bring on freshet. The Little Shuswap Indian Band has been hard at work restoring stream bank on Scotch Creek and installing log groins to redirect the water away from the banks On Feb. 2, a group of four workers from the band began by collecting 1,300 willows for two restoration projects on the Scotch Creek Forest Service Road. On Feb. 9, two workers helped a machine operator place rocks and cut bigger trees where needed. “Part of the project was to install log groins in the creek so that the water flow would change direction,” says LSIB fisheries co-ordinator Aaron Arnouse, noting the fast-flowing creek was eroding the bank. “And the main purpose of the project was to deflect the water away from the bank so that it wouldn’t cause problems to the highway in the future.” Once the log groins were installed, rip rap was placed along the

Willows were planted into the log groins to give support and strength to help keep them in place in the future. Willows were also planted in the ground to provide strength and stabilization, and prevent further erosion at the site. Some 600 willows were planted in total. “No spawning areas were harmed or damaged in any way,” assures Arnouse.

THOMPSON-NICOLA REGIONAL DISTRICT NEW Bylaw Notice & Dispute Adjudication What is the TNRD Bylaw Notice Dispute Adjudication System about?
Mail #300-465 Victoria St Kamloops, BC V2C 2A9
The new Notice Enforcement Bylaw sets out the penalties and the period for paying or disputing Bylaw Notices received for violating the provisions of the campground, building regulations, unsightly premises, dangerous dogs, zoning, solid waste, noise control and water system regulations bylaws. The bylaw also allows for a dispute adjudication system to resolve disputes in relation to issued Bylaw Notices.
When does it come in to effect? Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 2500 comes into effect April 1, 2015.
Why is the new program being introduced?
Phone (250) 377-8673 1-877-377-8673
Email bylawenforce@tnrd.ca
The system is intended to resolve bylaw violations and notice disputes in a simple, cost-effective manner. The new Bylaw Notice Dispute Adjudication System will improve efficiencies in the area of paying and collecting fines as well as delivering a streamlined process to the public.
How will it affect me? If you receive a Bylaw Notice for violating one of the TNRD bylaws listed above, you will have 30 days to either pay the fine or dispute the Notice through the Dispute Adjudication System without having to go through the Provincial court system (which can take up to 6 months). An independent adjudicator will hear the dispute instead, possibly resolving the dispute in one month.
What are the benefits? The new system will provide the following benefits: ƒ ƒ

Put more veggies on the plate
HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner This past week, I was treated to a fancy meal in a vegetarian restaurant – Acorn, on Vancouver’s trendy Main Street. Despite it being a weekday, the place was packed and we had to wait half an hour for our table. Situated in a hipster neighbourhood, all the waiters had thick-lensed glasses and skinny jeans. Our water was poured into mason jars, as we were told about the Daily Farm Special: a lengthy process that included the origin of each item in the entree, spoken as if they were individuals, not vegetables. My siblings and I looked at one another and could not help cracking a smile. Soon, I was going to feel guilty about eating Harry the squash from Klippers Farm in the Similkameen Valley. Reading the menu was also a surprise: Foraged Stinging Nettle Gnocchi, Carrot Caraway Puree, Rosemary Rye Crisps, House Ricotta, Preserved Lemon Gel. A raw, gluten-free vegan option: Coconut Cashew and Kimchi Dumplings, Shaved Cabbage, Thai Basil, Gochujang, Pickled Squash, Sesame King Oyster Mushrooms. Not having a clue what any of the choices would taste like, we
ended up ordering a few dishes to share and it was all delicious, if not obscure and unidentifiable. There is a growing body of research identifying the benefits of vegetarianism for animal welfare, reducing ecological footprints and preventing some chronic diseases. And while all of us are not ready to give up our delicious meat meals, we might be open to moving towards eating less meat. Here are some ideas: • Use meat as a garnish, rather than the feature. Current guidelines for your portion of meat is about two to three ounces. This is about halfto one-third what you would typically get at a restaurant. Slice meat thinly and put on top of stir-fried vegetables. Reduce the meat added to chili or pasta sauce by half, and replace with more veggies. • Try tofu. While many of us are curious about tofu, most do not know what to do with it. On its own, tofu is very bland. “Soft” tofu can be added to breakfast smoothies. “Firm” or “Extra Firm” tofu can be cut in cubes,
tossed in oil and soy sauce and either fried or baked. Sprinkle this crispy product on stirfries or salads. Many infants and small children enjoy plain, uncooked tofu cubes, a good source of protein for children who dislike meat. • Challenge yourself to being vegetarian one day a week. Experiment with beans, lentils, edamame, nuts and
seeds. Have veggies and rice with a spicy peanut sauce. Try falafels, a lentil dal or chickpea curry. Be adventurous: Indian and Mediterranean cookbooks often have many delicious vegetarian entrees.

JAMES RUSSELL BARBER October 6, 1927 – February 26, 2015 There will be a celebration of life at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, April 25, 2015 at Fischer’s Funeral Services, Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129 with Reverend Vikki Marrs officiating. Email condolences and share memories through Jim’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.
BRADLEY, MONA MARIE September 1, 1960 – March 27, 2015 It is with a great sense of loss that we announce the sudden passing of Mona Bradley (nee Roberts) at her home in Salmon Arm on March 27, 2015. Mona was born at Barrhead, Alberta on September 1, 1960. She was the 10th of 12 children born to William Roberts of Barrhead, and Mary Anne Moss, of Aghyaran, in the County Tyrone, Ireland. She spent her first seven years on the family farm. In 1967 the family moved to Revelstoke and to Salmon Arm in 1968. With the exception of a few years in Vancouver, Mona lived in Salmon Arm for the rest of her life. She was predeceased by her sister Mary in 1966, her father in 1977, her brother Ron in 2003, her mother in 2008, her brother William in 2010, and her sister Theresa in August of 2014. She was a mother, sister, aunt and great friend. Many knew her and remember her in this sad time. She was well known in the hospitality industry, as well as in the great circle of friends common to her family in the Shuswap-Okanagan, the Lower Mainland, Alberta, and in Ireland and the United States. Mona lived for her daughter, Jennifer, who grew up in Salmon Arm and graduated from high school here. During Jennifer’s high school years, their home was a gathering place to a good number of young people who have now said they saw Mona as a second mother. That home was the center of her life, surrounded by the beauty of Mona’s green thumbed hobby, and often filled with the delights of her great cooking and the family and friends come back from far and wide, to laugh together and tell wild stories, growing wilder in the telling at each repeat. Mona Bradley is survived by her daughter Jennifer (Nigel) of Leduc, Alberta. She is also survived by three sisters and four brothers: Maureen Roberts of Connemara, Ireland; Eileen Loewen (Darrell) of Vernon, BC; Sheila Robertson, of Delta, BC; Kevin Roberts, of Calgary, Alberta; Dennis Roberts of Salmon Arm, James Roberts (Barb) of Salmon Arm, and Patrick Roberts (Katie) of Fort Smith, NT. Her passing is also deeply mourned by her 18 nieces and nephews and her wider family in BC, Alberta, the United States and Ireland. She was a great aunt, literally and in every sense of those words. Mass of Christian Burial took place at 2 pm on Thursday, April 2, 2015 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 90 1 St SE, Salmon Arm, BC, Celebrant Father George. Interment followed in Mt. Ida Cemetery. On line condolences may be sent to Mona’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm. Flowers are welcome, as are donations to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation.

WILLIS, DENNIS RUSSELL 1951-2015 It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the death of Dennis following his long and courageous battle with Cancer, always with hope in his heart. With Helen by his side, sons Corey and Aaron, sisters Heather and Pam nearby, he slipped away from us peacefully on March 25th. Dennis faced his Cancer journey as he faced life, always with an inviting smile, a whistle on his lips, a story to be told and a zest for life that left all those he touched with a light heart and smile. Born in Port Alberni, Jan. 5, 1951, his career varied from municipal Policing in Calgary where he met Helen, Real Estate, and then his love in Car Sales from Victoria to Abbottsford, never just a job but always his vocation! Boating with Helen was his “JOY”, which he shared enthusiastically and generously with family and friends. He especially enjoyed entertaining family and friends with verve, hiking and Rotary International where he involved himself fully with the Student Exchange Program and remains loved by his “girls” Carla (Brazil) and Irene (Mexico). In retirement he and Helen found their winter paradise in Panama and enjoyed for many years the ocean, warmth and many friends there. Dennis was pre-deceased by his Parents, Sherwyn and Clara Willis. He is survived by his loving Wife Helen, Sons Corey (Tanya), Aaron, and Shane (Sasha), Grandchildren Apprelle, Deven, Brandon and Taryn, Sisters Heather and Pam (Don). By request there will be no funeral service at this time. Private Celebration of Life will be at a later date. Remembrance of Dennis will be in our hearts with the special memories we each have for him. Special thanks to the compassionate staff at Interior Health (Mary Jane) for care at home and in Hospice, and to Bastion Place Hospice Unit, you made this very difficult journey happen with dignity. Judy and Kim we thank you as you shared your love while walking your own path. Kevin, Dennis could not have walked this path without your guidance, you were his Doctor but more so his friend. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Dennis’ obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

WOOD, THOMAS STEPHEN May 21, 1960-March 29, 2015 It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Thomas (Tom) Wood on March 29 at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton. Tom was predeceased by his mother, Betty Anne and brother William.

Tom had a huge heart and would do anything for his family and friends. Tom left Tappen in 1980 to attend the University of Alberta and graduated with Bachelor of Arts Degree Majoring in History. Tom was an avid student of world and art history and because of his passion continued his studies long after graduating from University.

Tom was passionate about his love for the Arts, especially when it came to music and he was a member on the board of the Edmonton Blues Society. Many kind words have been shared by dear friends and family of Tom for which we, the family, have been truly grateful: “You added hugely to my appreciation for knowledge, literacy, coffee shops and music.â€? “Tom’s kindness, and especially his courage, were inspirational.â€? “Thank you for being a brilliant mind, a soft heart, and most of all my Uncle.â€? “Tom could mix a mean Gibsons and Ginger Ale.â€? There will be no official service for Tom as per his request. Instead family and close friends will be gathering for a fun celebration of food, wine, and perhaps a little Gibsons and Ginger‌.we know that Tom will be in attendance choosing the music to fit the Soundtrack of his Life. Should you wish to do so, a donation in his name to the Shuswap Lake General Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.

Patrick was born in Kamloops B.C. and was raised in Pioneer, a small mining town in Bridge River Valley. Patrick and his beautiful bride Georgia moved to Sicamous in 1966. Pat and several of his friends were the founders of Miller’s Cove campsite, the place that became the heart of many of the family’s sacred memories. Patrick was predeceased by his parents Patrick and Myrtle Miller and is survived by his siblings Mickey (Teena), Colleen (Al), Danny (Sharon). Also mourning the loss of Patrick are his children Kevin, Shane (Cori), Shantel (John), Darren (Shelley) and many nieces and nephews. Patrick was a man of few words, but when he spoke it had purpose.
