May 12 will be D-Day of sorts for the students, parents and teachers of Silver Creek Elementary. That will be when trustees will make a final decision on the Silver Creek School closure bylaw, which received first reading at Tuesday night’s regular meeting. The first reading of the closure bylaw was added Monday as a late item to the regular school board agenda, after it was determined that in order to avoid stretching the decision into June, proper procedure required readings to be done at two separate meetings. “We do not want to drag this out for Silver Creek parents or staff any longer,” stated board chair Bobbi Johnson. Trustee Debbie Evans said the assembled parents deserved an apology, noting the process should have been laid out at last Thursday’s public meeting. “There should have been some forewarning, so people could understand that this is about the process and a decision is not being made tonight. ” Trustees reiterated to the assembled parents from Silver Creek that they still have questions to be answered, especially about bus transportation plans. They also were emphatic that no decisions have been made. “I know I have not made up my mind,” said Johnson. “That bus ride is a killer for me.” Trustees also complimented parents and teachers who have rallied in support of converting the school into a Montessori model. “Instead of just asking to keep the doors open, they have come with plans and suggestions in hopes of finding an option other than closure,” said trustee Kelly Rowe. “I know I am in a state of uncertainty.” All trustees except Bob Fowler voted in favour of moving the bylaw forward to final reading. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at the District Education Centre.

Suspect lights fire outside Nufloors

Air-to-boat rescue

n Vernon Search and Rescue crew member Steve Oliver is about to touch down on the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue vessel during their inaugural helicopter winch training exercise held Monday, April 13 on Shuswap Lake. The exercise was designed to prepare for the lift and transport of injured patients to hospital.

Salmon Arm RCMP are recommending charges of arson against a man they say is well-known to police. On April 15, just after midnight, police and the Salmon Arm Fire Department responded to a fire at Nufloors situated on Lakeshore Drive SW. Two pallets were lit on fire behind the premises and flames scorched the side of the building. The fire was put out before it took hold of the building and the damage was limited to the exterior concrete wall. Police quickly located a suspect nearby and arrested him. The 60-year-old man is well-known to police who have dealt with him numerous times over the last two months. The building was not targeted but rather the male stated he was trying to keep warm and the fire got out of control. The man is in custody and was to be brought before a judge Wednesday in provincial court. The RCMP are recommending charges of arson, as well as other charges that stemmed from unrelated incidents involving the same man. Police wish to reiterate this is a random case and not linked to any business or event. The investigation is ongoing and at this time, no further information will be released.

Marine expert testifies

Who is Your relaY super hero?

RCMP: Corporal says houseboat crash was first time he had ever seen one boat embedded inside another. By Tim Petruk

Super Heroes Sascu CREWZERS

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

If they were on, the lights of a houseboat involved in a fatal collision on Shuswap Lake would have been impossible to miss, according to an RCMP corporal who specializes in marine-vessel accident investigations. RCMP Cpl. Richard Harry took the witness stand in Kamloops this week in the trial of Leon Reinbrecht, who is facing one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Reinbrecht was charged following a July 3, 2010, crash on Shuswap Lake that killed Ken Brown. The trial has heard Reinbrecht’s speedboat collided head-on with Brown’s houseboat in a night-time crash. Throughout the trial, witnesses have given conflicting testimony about the lights on the houseboat. Some have said the houseboat was fully lit, while others testified they could barely make it out from feet away. Harry, who is based in Nanaimo with the RCMP’s West Coast Marine Services, said he was dispatched to Shuswap Lake the day after the crash. Over nearly a week, court heard, Harry and a partner combed through the wreckage and took similar boats out on the water for baseline testing. Harry said he had never seen anything like what he saw in Scotch Creek, where

n RCMP escorted a houseboat, with a speedboat embedded inside to an evidence storage facility. the wreckage was stored. “All of the other investigations I’d done, the vessels had separated,” he said. “In this case, the one vessel was still embedded in the other.” Harry said part of his investigation was to remove the speedboat from the houseboat and document both vessels. Part of that documentation included examining the lights on the houseboat, court heard. Harry said the houseboat was equipped with navigational lights — known as side lights — and a masthead light. He said the side lights were located on the front of the vessel, one each on the top port and starboard sides. The masthead light was in the middle of the front of the boat. “If you were in a head-on situation with this vessel, you would see the masthead light plus both side lights,” he said.

Harry also described his findings about the capabilities of both boats. After taking nearidentical vessels on the water for testing, he said the speedboat had a top speed over 80 km/h, while the houseboat’s speed would have topped out at about 16 km/h. Harry said the speedboat had responsive steering and was quite maneuverable, while the houseboat was slow and relatively unresponsive. “As long as you’re thinking ahead [in the houseboat], the steering will do what you want it to,” he said. “But, it takes time for the larger vessel to make course changes.” Previous witnesses have described seeing a speedboat being driven erratically prior to the crash, with one witness saying it sounded like the boat was being operated at or near full throttle.

Shedding light on condition CDH: Need to raise awareness of congenital hernia. By Martha Wickett

Friday, April 17, 2015 Shuswap Market News

Spring Parts & Service Specials

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Genean Blair and Brianna McLellan met a few years ago when they were working at neighbouring businesses. Now they have much more in common. Genean’s daughter Addison, now 17 months, was born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, or CDH. Brianna’s son, Ollie, to be born in July, has been diagnosed in utero with the condition. They would like to raise awareness of CDH. Like Ollie, most babies with the condition are diagnosed before they are born. The hernia means that Ollie’s diaphragm hasn’t fully formed, so his abdominal organs have pushed up into his chest cavity. His little heart has been pushed to one side and there’s little space left for his lungs to grow. Between now and when he’s born, Brianna will have to make several trips to BC Women’s Hospital in Vancouver for amniotic testing, where she will stay once she is in her 35th week of pregnancy. After Ollie’s birth, he will be whisked away from her for a series of corrective surgeries. Genean points out her experience with Addison was not the norm for CDH. The condition was not diagnosed until

No two are alike; they have different problems, different outcomes, they get sick at different rates. “They are difficult to treat - they don’t know how they’re going to react.” She hopes raising awareness of the condition will lead to more research and knowledge. And she points out that it’s more common than people realize.

Everybody knows about cystic fibrosis, everyone knows about spina bifida, but no one knows about CDH.” Genean, Addison and Brianna will have a table at the Mall at Piccadilly this weekend to help raise awareness of the condition that has affected all their lives so much.

Addison was born. There were some terrifying times when she couldn’t breathe well, but she was discharged from hospital at 17 days, without oxygen or medication, and has had no problems since. Genean emphasizes how serious the condition is. “Most people will look at this birth defect and think, ‘It’s nothing, what are you worried about – it’s not a big deal.’ But it is a big deal. We are beyond lucky, beyond blessed with this outcome.” Genean wants other moms to have faith and hope, but she also doesn’t want to give false hope. In hospital she heard many times that CDH babies are the sickest babies in the neonatal intensive care unit. She also heard they’re all different. “They say CDH babies are like snow-

Upgrades sought for Lakeshore Drive By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Just as spring returns to the Shuswap, so do requests for improvements to Lakeshore Drive. City council recently discussed a letter from Reid Fowler, a resident of 45 years, who requested reduced speed and weight restrictions because of the deteriorating condition of the road shoulders and the width of the road. He said additional signs have made the road narrower and confusing. He also suggested the stretch between 10th and 20th avenues be restricted to local access only. Coun. Ken Jamieson noted some bits of asphalt as well as gravel are falling away, so some consideration should be given to reducing the speed limit. He said a full discussion of the road is needed, and citizens should be informed of long-term plans. Coun. Chad Eliason joked about speed humps, but noted that in his 10 years on council, all kinds of remedies have been considered. He wondered what the impact of weight restrictions would be, or perhaps one-way traffic during particular times.

“What’s the best option right now?” Coun. Tim Lavery said some of the larger signs on the road constrict the pathway, but he trusts the expertise of staff. “I guess there’s nothing worse than council members doing engineering,” he said with a smile. Coun. Kevin Flynn said the speed limit is not being enforced at 50 km/hr, so he doesn’t know what would happen at 30 km/hr.

it’s designed to accommodate speeds up to 50 km/hr.” He said the city has had a geotechnical engineer on site who looked at cracking in the shoulder area. The cones on the road identify some of the cracking. He said the engineer recommended work along the shoulder to improve drainage and run-off from the road surface, which has been done. Neighbours have been asked not

He said he appreciated the letter and supports the work of staff.

Education system in cross-hairs

When Education Minister Peter Fassbender introduced Bill 11, the Education Statutes Amendment Act (2015) in March, he showed British Columbians that major changes to the public education system are coming down the pipe. Without consulting teachers, Fassbender said the Ministry of Education wants to develop a framework for “continuing professional development for teachers.” He noted there are no regulations requiring teachers to pursue ongoing training. He hinted teachers may be required to complete new programs – aimed at improving student achievement – in order to keep their teaching certificates. It has long been a burr in the saddle of provincial governments and many in the general public that there is no system for weeding out ineffective teachers – other than that controlled by the teaching profession itself. While it was noted there would be consultation with teachers on professional development programs, it was also apparent the education ministry would have control of making sure its desired end result is achieved. Recently, the ministry told school board trustees to find $29 million in savings by trimming administrative costs. There has been some balking because school districts have already been trimming this area in order to balance their budgets in the past few years. The new amendments order trustees to enter into shared service with other boards or public-sector businesses. The ministry would have the authority to require school boards to participate in specific service delivery programs. If boards fail to comply, the amendments give the education minister the authority to replace school boards with an appointee. There are other issues with Bill 11 that will have to be dealt with as the details are rolled out. However, it’s pretty clear the B.C. Liberal government wants more control of teachers, its union, and the elected representatives on school boards. – 100 Mile House Free Press

OPINION

Success from simple observations

For a fair number of years now, I have been concentrating most of my summer fishing efforts on a select number of small Interior lakes. Each, in their own way, represent a number of different types of fishing opportunities. Over the years, I have made a concerted effort to figure out (and remember) how to read their waters. One of my favourites is a shallow little lake with fallen trees lining almost the entire shoreline. Another has two distinctly different weed beds on either side of an island that are inhabited by a multitude of subaquatic insects. Rising from the dark-stained waters of another lake are a fair number of deadfalls that make it dangerous to fish when the sun has gone down – when the fish are most actively feeding. The waters of yet another are so clear that a bad cast or too many false casts will most certainly spook the fish. In effect, each lake, at different times of the year, presents different challenges. The key to

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray fishing each of these totally different lakes, is quite simply, being able to read the waters and knowing where and when the fish might be in any given area of the lake, at any given time of the season. Learning how to read the waters of any lake requires a basic understanding of how to identify different types of structures within the lake, and potential fish-holding areas within these structures. Such an understanding is achieved, in part, by making observations and remembering/recording your observations so that you have an idea where the fish might be on subsequent trips. Ultimately, it is the

ability to make a calculated guess as to where the fish might be, and what they are most likely to be feeding on. Although fish are relatively opportunistic feeders, I have found that they can also be quite selective. Fish are, by their very nature, relatively wary creatures. If you want to catch fish, you have to think like a fish. So look for areas where there is natural protective cover for both insects and fish and you will likely find a number of fish hanging around – fish that feel safe and secure enough to venture out from their protective cover to go after something to eat. Now I know there are all sorts of very successful anglers out there who are very diligent about gathering all sorts of information about when certain insect hatches come off and the migration patterns of fish feeding within a given body of water. I also know that if you save such information in a fishing journal, it can pay huge dividends. I am not a scientific angler. Nor do I have a pletho-

ra of recorded observations. What I have learned about the lakes I fish most often, I have learned the hard way, through trial and error – heavy on the error. It’s not that I don’t have respect and admiration for anglers who make notes and record their observations in a notebook – I know they catch a lot more fish than I might ever hope to. It’s just that I’m more the kind of angler who makes simple observations, stores them somewhere in the back of my memory and, well, hopes to recall things when needed. All I know for sure is that if fish appear to be rising to some sort of small pale greenish-brown coloured insect with mottled wings lying flat along its back, I don’t really care if it’s a caddis fly or a horsefly, as long as I am able to match the natural with one of the fly patterns in my fly box. When it comes right down to it, I guess I’m happy just to be out on the water casting my line whether the fish are feeding or not.

VIEW POINT

Duplication reflects poorly on party

I have just described. Instead we would have a cohesive effort by a political party and the general electorate wouldn’t feel like they’re marks being preyed on by a carnival huckster. Please (if there is a God) please, God, rid us of these pretenders to democratic rule.

Premier’s jumping out of the frying pan provincial government. Wow! Wouldn’t that be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire! Maybe Clark has a huge supply of shredded documents left over from her megamega LNG negotiations and wants to dispose/recycle the paper

by using it to soak up oil spills. Perhaps that’s the real reason Clark jumped into the spotlight to promote

Put an end to Bill C-51 To Colin Mayes, MP for the Okanagan Shuswap: This Bill C-51 needs to be stopped. This is not what being Canadian is about. The Bill is more like the USA, where it is going increasingly to-

Leaving aside, for a moment, the subject matter of the bills being pushed forward by both Mr. Mayes and his party, and concentrating only on the machinations, it strikes me how beautifully this dual effort represents the ideology of the current Conservative government.

The Shuswap Market News (Friday, April 10, 2015) contained an article headlined “Mayes perseveres with crime legislation.” In light of the fact that Colin Mayes’ own party is deep in the machinations of trying to pass its own bill and that the bill is remarkably similar to the one proposed by Mr. Mayes, I feel compelled to comment.

SOUTH SHUSWAP Rescue group looks to expand

AGM & Volunteer Tea

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Shuswap’s Coast Guard Auxiliary is working to expand its presence with the purchase of a new boat that will possibly be stationed in Blind Bay. The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) Shuswap Station 106, located on Shuswap Lake and based in Sicamous, has made application to its headquarters in Sooke, to add a second marine search and rescue vessel for use on the Shuswap and Mara lake systems, says Shuswap Station leader Rob Sutherland. “HQ approval has been granted, but funds for the purchase are needed as each station funds its own boats,” said Sutherland. “These funds must be found locally through public grants and private donations.” A vessel suited to the task of marine rescue in the Shuswap has already been located – a 2007 Titan, currently assigned to RCMSAR Station 35 in Victoria. “The new (to us) boat is expected to cost at least half of the new price of $650,000,” said Sutherland of the

Sutherland spoke about the new vessel during the recent helicopter training exercise on Shuswap Lake, attended by local politicians including Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C director Paul Demenok, who spoke favourably of the potential acquisition, and it being based in his electoral area. Sutherland explained the Shuswap station is one of the busiest in the province. It became operational in May 2012 and has since received 108 calls for medical assistance, searches and rescues, largely during the region’s

second boat and a new Station 106 sub-station, possibly located in the Blind Bay area.” Sutherland says BC Gaming has agreed to support the boat’s purchase, but requires a downpayment to be raised locally through local government, private businesses and donations to show Station 106 has the support of the Shuswap community.

Sorrento Elementary under review School District #83 has decided to review the space available at Sorrento Elementary with a view to closing off a portion of the school to save money. The elementary school is operating well below the build-

ing’s capacity for students and enrolment is not projected to increase in the near future. Closing off classrooms would allow for savings in terms of custodial, maintenance and heating costs.

Due to the layout of the school, however, there may be challenges in determining which areas could be closed off. The board has also affirmed its commitment to renovate the library space at Carlin

Elementary/Middle School, with a particular view towards creating a common area for middle school students to congregate. The budget and scope of the renovations are still to be determined.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Checklist for your child’s eye health (NC) Children’s eye health is a fundamental part of their growth and development. Unfortunately, it can be challenging for parents and teachers to recognize vision problems in children, as they often don’t know what to look for, or how to recognize behaviours that may be connected to a visual impairment. It can be equally difficult for children to communicate or recognize issues, as they may think that they see the world the way everyone does. Despite having 20/20 vision, children can still suffer from various eye health problems, such as eye

focusing, which can create frustration and lead to permanent learning consequences. According to the Ontario Association of Optometrists, one in four school-aged children has some form of vision problem. Look out for these eye appearances and symptoms as an indi-

cation of your child having a vision problem: Appearances: • One eye that looks turned in or out • Bumps, styes, redness, swelling, or crusting of eyelids • Haziness or whitish appearance inside the pupil • Frequently watery eyes

• Excessive blinking or squinting Symptoms: • Closing or covering an eye when looking at objects • Losing place or using a finger to maintain place when reading • Exhibiting a reading or learning problem • Complaining of

headaches, nausea and dizziness • Avoiding reading, colouring, or activities up close • Poor hand-eye coordination No one can see through children’s eyes, except the children themselves. The best way to ensure your children have a bright future is by booking their eye exam with a Doctor of Optometry. Eye See...Eye Learn is a free program offered by participating Doctors of Optometry, helping to identify vision problems in Ontario’s young children. The program provides eye exams and complimentary eyeglasses

Prevent stroke to prevent dementia Did you know that reducing your risk of stroke may also help to prevent dementia? Research by Dr. Sandra Black at the University of Toronto, and supported in part by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, is pointing in that direction. Health Canada has a list of recommendations for avoiding a stroke, as follows:

• Quit smoking. • Have your blood pressure checked regularly, and take medication to lower your blood pressure if necessary. • Eat plenty of fibre, and limit your intake of foods high in salt or fat. • Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. • Stay physically active. • Limit your alcohol intake.

• Before taking an over-the-counter medication, ask your pharmacist if it could increase your blood pressure. • If you have diabetes, manage your blood sugar carefully. • If you know that heart disease or stroke run in your family, be sure to have regular medical check-ups.

Water skiing, snow skiing and hiking

TRAIL TALES Marcia Beckner It was an opportunity which we couldn’t let pass. An April bid for the summit in the Larch Hills, promising to be an adventure and likely our final ski in the Larch Hills this season. George Zorn and Keith Cox have been keeping track of snow depths in the Larch Hills for the past nine years and welcomed us to go along on their spring snow depth measurement trip, knowing that Jim and I are keen to extend the season as far into the spring as possible. Setting off on Thursday, April 3 at 10 a.m., we were facing a walk across the snowfree stadium area and a walk part way up Larch Hills Road due to the temperature freezing overnight and taking a while to warm up during the day - causing icy conditions until warm enough to soften the snow. Up Sky Trail we trekked, mostly on skis but having to navigate

deep ruts left by a quad a few days back. We reached the North Hub and carried on up Larch Hills Road, which used to be a narrow backcountry trail but was widened by recent logging. Lots of snow for us to ski on at this point but when we turned left at Caribou Memory, our true adventure began. George, in sharing his photos with us later that day titled the event: “Today’s Larch Hills Snow Depths Measurements: water skiing, snow skiing and hiking with skis.” So true. But what a beautiful trip. We navigated open water spots either by trying to stretch over them doing the splits, or finding an alternate snow path around them, or taking our skis off and walking around (or through) the water hurdle. The more open the area and more exposed to the sun, the higher the likelihood we would have to hike. Three hours in and we arrived at the measurement point at the summit. Measurements completed, we skied down as far as we could, taking in the marvelous view of Shuswap Lake beneath us. Some hiking with skis ensued, followed by great fun on the puddle-infested

n George Zorn and Keith Cox take snow measurements in the Larch Hills. trail we had navigated on the way up. The snow had softened by this time and the skiing was great. Over to Cec’s Cabin for that area’s measurement then down Larch Hills Road. Some challenges where the southern aspect and sun made for a dearth of snow. However, from East Dales to the chalet, we didn’t take our skis off once. George and

Keith did the third measurement at South Hub then the fourth at the chalet. They were on a mission, and we were blessed to join them on this April ski.

Preparing WOOD for finishing

$300 rebate on high-efficiency natural gas fireplaces

Wood is one of the most popular materials for outdoor projects, thanks to its attractive appearance, durability and versatility. But you also have to know how to optimize its qualities with the proper finish. However, before treating wood, the surface has to be properly prepared, with the exception of very new virgin wood that hasn’t yet been exposed to the elements. Here is an overview of this crucial step in any wood finishing project.

• Inserts • Linears • Freestanding

PRE-TREATED SURFACES If the surface in question has already been stained, it will have to be stripped before proceeding further. Use a cleaner specifically designed for outdoor use, as it will be water-based and biodegradable. However, be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions, as this kind of product can come in several different con centrations and often needs to be dilu ted. Af ter ap plying the product evenly, wait 15 mi nutes and then

clean the wood with either a pressure washer or a good old scrubbing brush and some water. GREYING VIRGIN WOOD Wood darkens quickly, depending on the weather and presence of mildew. That means even if the surface you want to treat has never been stained, you’ll still need to wash it to ensure that the finishing product adheres properly. It’s okay to wash it with a pressure washer, but be very careful not to damage the wood by applying too much pressure. There are also a variety of wood cleaners available in stores; look for one that contains oxalic acid, the bleach of choice for wood. And now you can move on to the finishing stage!

Staining exterior wood? Have you prepared the surface properly?

Choose your FRONT DOOR with care Your front door serves both as protection against the outside and insulation for your home. Of course, you also want a door that you like the look of and that goes well with the rest of your home. Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice.

and doesn’t require maintenance, but it is more expensive than steel. Stores now also stock PVC doors with excellent energy efficiency. They are resistant to weatherwear, scratching and UV rays, but they’re more expensive than steel doors.

The most popular material for front doors is steel. Easy to maintain and durable, it also gives excellent value for money. In addition, it’s ideal for all architectural styles. You like the look of wood? While a wooden door can add curb appeal to your property, it’s going to be less effective as far as insulation is concerned. If you go ahead with wood, be sure to use the latest in weather stripping, which is more efficient than it used to be. Many wooden doors have also been designed to prevent warping with time.

If you want to customize your front door, you can opt for one with a stained glass window. Bear in mind that the bigger the window, the less efficient the insulation will be, although double glazing will help provide more energy efficiency.

Are you looking for a durable material that is resistant to shocks, cracking and warping? Fiberglass will meet all these expectations. This type of door is almost indestructible The perfect front door is practical and attractive.

Now all you have to do is choose the type of door that suits you best.

What’s to stop you from becoming a Hometown Hero? “It’s the right thing to do if it would make the world a better place if everybody were to do it.” Whether you look at it as a moral lesson or as an environmental road map, that adage captures the essence of Earth Day, which takes place on April 22, 2015. Every year, the environmental charity Earth Day Canada recognizes individuals who inspire us all to make the right choices. These Hometown Heroes volunteer their time and resources to protect the environment, educate their peers in sustainability or bring about sustainable change in

their communities. Young British Columbian Jacqueline Shen was a 2014 Hometown Hero winner and role model. She headed up the Burnaby Youth Sustainability Network, which brings together Burnaby teens in environment-saving volunteer opportunities and sustainability conferences. One of her strategies for engaging people is to ask them about how they look at the trash they produce. “When you look at a plastic bottle, what do you see?” she asks. “We’re doing pretty well here in B.C.; nearly 75 per cent of bottles are returned. But why do

we (buy things we want to) throw away, whether it’s to the recycling depot or to the landfill?” It’s a good question, and it may lead to a different choice the next time you’re thirsty on a warm day. Would you like to be an environmental hero who works to create change in your home and in your hometown? Even the smallest gesture is heroic when it comes to the environment: shop locally; reduce; reuse and recycle. And if you want to go bigger, contact an environmental organization to see how you can help them create positive change.

Garden to good eating HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner I had a moment in my garden the other day. The sunshine was warm on my back and birds were chirping. Just far enough from my house, I could barely hear the drone of my kids screaming inside. Anticipating the taste of the fresh peas and lettuce that I was planting, my mouth started to water. Over the years, gardening has become an activity that brings me joy; peaceful and meditative, it helps me relieve stress and connect with nature. Although it is a lot of work, the payback of delicious produce or beautiful flowers makes it worthwhile. From a nutrition perspective, research has shown that kids involved in growing and harvesting vegetables

are more likely to eat them, and vegetables picked at their peak ripeness are higher in vitamins and minerals. Unfortunately, gardening, like most things, is a skill that needs to be learned. I remember the disappointment of my first garden – green tomatoes, onions the size of garlic cloves, and a lone watermelon, harvested too soon, tasting like – water. The only edible things that grew well were chickweed and chard, two vegetables I don’t even like to eat. So how can we make our first experience with gardening successful? • Start small – if you have never grown food before, start with a single box or planter garden. Plants require sun, water, space to grow (i.e. you may have to do some weeding) and nutrients (soil, compost, maybe some added fertilizer). • Some easier seeds to start are radishes, lettuce, peas, beans, chives, arugula and basil. Some edible flowers include pansies, nasturtiums and marigold.

• Talk to experts at some of Salmon Arm’s gardening stores – Nico’s, Pedro’s, Hanna and Hanna’s… • Planting dates are listed in the Farmer’s Almanac website: h t t p : / / w w w. a l m a nac.com/gardening/ planting-dates/BC/ Salmon+Arm. • To learn more about gardening and growing food, check out the Shuswap Garden Club (http://www. bcgardenclubs.com/ clubs/shuswapgarden-

club.html), Shuswap Food Action (www. shuswapfood.ca) or the Shuswap-Thompson chapter of Master Gardeners (http://mgabc. org). • If gardening does not interest you, you can still enjoy eating fresh garden produce from one of our many Farmer’s markets. -Serena Caner is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Silvery Beach de-cluttered A three-way partnership has led to improved salmonid habitat on Little Shuswap Lake. On Feb. 12, the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band Fisheries Department was involved in the project to clean up some old tires and concrete that were on the shores of Little Shuswap Lake. “The concrete had come from an old cabin that was damaged two years ago in a house fire,” says Aaron Arnouse, the band’s fisheries co-ordinator. “A mess was left there with old debris from the house and an old cement retaining wall.” Adding to the mess was an old tire wall built in the 1950s or ’60s as a water break. Arnouse says 650 tires were removed from the site. Once the cleanup was complete, a new rock wall was installed to provide support and stabilization of the existing bank and to prevent erosion during high water. Willows were planted on the bottom of the rock wall for

Arnouse says a total of 420

willows were planted in the area with the hope that at least 20 per cent of them take.

Community contest to rename Heroin Hill Scotch Creek citizens came together to clean up “Heroin Hill.” “We would like to thank Al from Indigo Bay excavating for tirelessly running the loader, Craig from Spooner Electric for the use of his equip-

ment and time, Zane from Winkler Disposal for removing most of the debris and all the people who came out to volunteer their time and efforts,” said Jenn Breckenridge, who lives beside what was once an ugly sight with

remnants of an old trailer and other debris. Breckenridge says residents are very pleased with the outcome of the cleanup and hope to keep the community spirit alive moving forward. “We are running a

contest via our Facebook page to rename “heroin hill” as we no longer wish to brandish that name,” she says. The winner will receive a six-pack of their choice. The contest closes May 31.

The committee of Pam Hartley, Tralee Mazu and myself, Jacquie Everett have made a huge commitment in personal time, energy and finances to our Chase community. Our four candidates have also personally committed themselves to climb the “ladder of success”. They have completed all the preparations to be our next new ambassadors.

To our sponsors, Chase Rotary, Chase Lions, Craigs Bakery & Deli, Pritchard Community Association, Legion Ladies Auxillary Br.#107 and Safety Mart Foods a royal thank you, you have always been there for our program. A special thanks to Nicki Thiessan for always being able to give us her time.

Taking a hike on the Tplaqin Trail

SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman

Sicamous Business Directory

It has been 20 years since I last hiked to the top of the Enderby Cliffs, so it was a real treat for us to make the climb recently and experience the vastly improved Tplaqin trail. In 2010, thanks to the collaborative efforts of BC Parks, the Shuswap Trail Alliance and the Splatsin Band, the steep, eroding sections were removed and replaced with long switchbacks that provide a pleasant route to the 1,100 metre ridgeline. With the new trail and the 40-car capacity, paved parking lot completed, work still continues on restoration and management issues. Every year, Shuswap Trail Alliance volunteers spend a day planting Douglas maple and ocean spray seedlings in parts of the old vertical trail. Retired Skimikin Seed Orchard manager, Keith Cox, grows the seedlings in

his backyard. On our descent we encountered Trail Alliance executive director Phil McIntyrePaul and trail stewards, Damon, Jenn and Kayala Kent happily planting the saplings they had carried up in buckets. The management plan for the park is still being worked on, and when finished, it will no doubt include the issues regarding the damage caused by unsanctioned, motorized access. Although a locked gate blocks the old road that goes through private land, occasionally someone does break through. Illegal access from the north has damaged wetlands near Reeves Lake, and efforts are still needed to decommission this route, while still providing non-motorized access. The Splatsin Band is very involved in planning, as the Enderby Cliffs and the surrounding forests, wetlands, and rare grasslands are a significant sacred area. Spring is one of the best times to make the hike, as the weather is cooler, more views of the valley can be seen with leaves still in bud and the air quality is often good. We found the

panorama from the top truly spectacular, especially at the summit, where you get a 180-degree vista that includes both Shuswap Lake and Okanagan Lake. The small meadow at the top is perhaps the most scenic lunch spot in the entire Shuswap, especially the stunning views of meandering Shuswap River that flows through some of the richest agricultural land in the province and the eagles and ravens that soar in the updrafts. With the early spring, we were rewarded with colourful first blooms, including avalanche lilies, jolly jump-ups, twin-bells and buttercups. I was particularly impressed with the ancient Rocky Mountain juniper trees that have grown quite tall along the edge of the cliffs. It would be interesting to date one of the larger trees, as it is possible that their age could be many hundreds of years. We also found some small yew trees with patches of rose-coloured bark. Yew wood was used both by the First Nations and other civilizations for bows, handles, paddles and digging sticks. The Secwepemc value both the junipers and the yews

for their medicinal uses. Some of the fir trees along the edge were also remarkable due to the massive girth of the lower trunk, which grew large to withstand the wind and survive the erosion. The entire cliff edge is a unique harsh environment, shaped by the exposure and air movement where you can find old-growth fir and juniper, along with grasses and wildflowers. In the afternoon, the winds picked up and although we could hear the howling, the air was relatively calm along the edge of the cliff because when the wind hits the cliff it bounces up. Just down from the summit, I looked over to take photos of the cliff face and recent slides, but with the utmost of caution and care. The hike down was even more scenic as we faced the view and could get a better sense of the terrain. Tplaqin is a very popular trail that sees as many as 10,000 hikers in a year. On May 3, the Hospice Society in conjunction with the Trail Alliance sponsors an annual Enderby Cliffs hike and the popular club, Shuswap Outdoors will have its annual hike on May 31.

She was predeceased by her husband Larry in May 2002, her parents Bill and Elsie Mobley, brother Ron Mobley, sister Lorraine Mackay, and her two favourite uncles Frank and Howard Mobley. Helen will be deeply missed by her children David Toebosch (Doreen), granddaughter Krissy Toebosch (Rikki Barden), grandson Kyle Toebosch (Heather Curle); Gary Toebosch (Merry Smith); Tia Seto; and Tara Toebosch (Darryl Faustman), grandson Jacob Faustman; sister Alyce Renaud (Leon); numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many dear - some lifelong - friends. Helen was born in Kamloops, BC on October 15, 1934 to her parents William (Bill) and Elsie Mobley. The Mobley family name is synonymous with Sunnybrae, where Helen spent most of her early life. She graduated from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary in 1952 and worked as a telephone operator for two years at Okanagan Telephone Co. During this time Helen met the love of her life, Lorance (Larry) Matheus Toebosch. They courted nearly two years and were engaged on Christmas day 1953 in Sunnybrae. They married on June 12, 1954 in Tappen, BC. Four years later they welcomed the birth of their first child, David. Larry and Helen’s idea of the perfect family was two boys and two girls, so they adopted their son Gary, and daughters Tia and Tara. They also had numerous foster children over the years. Helen started her own daycare in 1976 and over the next 15 years she babysat nearly 100 children. In 1990, Helen closed her daycare and took the Long Term Care Aide course. Upon her graduation she worked for a year at SLGH and then Bastion Place. She retired in 1997. Larry and Helen built their retirement home in Notch Hill in 1991. Helen had a passion for gardening - especially her flowerbeds, any kind of ice cream and the colour pink! Helen was unconditional and she lived her life with dignity and grace. She was a quiet and gentle soul who was known for her beautiful smile, her twinkling blue eyes and her wit. She (and Larry) touched many lives and will be deeply missed and remembered by many. A celebration of Helen’s life was held at Bowers Funeral Home on Saturday, April 11, 2015. Should you wish to do so, donations can be made in Helen’s name, to the Shuswap Lake General Hospital Foundation, Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4N3. The family would like to thank Dr. Levins, Dr. Reid, and the nursing staff at SLGH. Online condolences may be sent through Helen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

By shopping local you support local people. SCHMIDT, GISELA ANNA (nee Jorss) 1923-2015 Gisela passed away peacefully at Hillside Village on March 30, 2015 at the age of 91 years. She was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany and in postwar years worked as a drafts person/technician for a manufacturing firm in Esslingen Germany. In 1966 she immigrated to Canada and married Reinhold, whose career took them to many exotic places in the far East. Returning to Canada, they spent years in SK, AB, and BC enjoying travel and social life with many acquaintances and friends. Gisela was an expert seamstress and dappled in scenic photography. As a lifelong companion of dogs, she was predeceased by many canine champions… her last, Max. She loved and respected all animals and she spent as much of her life as possible outdoors during her frequent walks. Gisela was feisty and independent, with a dry sense of humor that at times was unexpected. If you had the patience to get to know her, she as a loyal and generous friend. Gisela was proud being a Canadian; a highlight of her life was when she became a citizen of Canada (1970). We became acquainted with Gisela at a difficulty point in her life and came to know a spirited lady quite by accident. We will treasure and remember friendship shared with her. It was a special kind of journey walking and being part of her life as a widow. She is survived by her stepson Kurt Schmidt of Leduc, AB as well as friends Brenda and Joe. No service at her request. Many grateful thanks to the kind and compassionate staff at Hillside Village for adding light to her life for three years. Thanks also to Curtis Horne who made her laugh and added to the quality of her life in her twilight years.

A true pioneer of the Eagle Valley, Elsie was born on June 23, 1918, in a log house at Solsqua, B.C.

She became a Teacher’s Aid where she enjoyed working for the School District until her retirement at age 65. She was a devoted volunteer with many organizations, particularly the Canadian Cancer Society and the Parkinson Society, and truly believed in giving back to the community. Maintaining an active lifestyle, Elsie loved to dance, hike the Rockies, cross-country ski and travel the world. During her travels over four continents she met with members of her extended family and new friends that she made along the way. Australia was a favourite destination to visit with her eldest son, Lyle, and his family. Elsie was predeceased by her parents, her first husband E.A.C. (Gus) Tweeddale in 1969, her sister, Phyllis Thomas in 2004 and her son, Ned Tweeddale in 2005. Elsie is survived by her loving and dedicated family; husband Gavin Paterson, daughters Judy Birkhiem (Vic) of Salmon Arm, Mary Lougheed of Langley, Cathy Mitchell (Kevin) of Langley and son Lyle (Margaret) of Brisbane, Australia; grandchildren and great grandchildren.
