Loving ladder ball

Evan BuhlEr/markEt nEws

n Angie Dehnke celebrates scoring seven points for her team in a game of ladder ball at the Seniors Drop-in Centre on Friday, May 22. The object of the game is to hook the ball chain around one of the ladder rungs; blue is three points, red is worth two and the white rung is a single point.

The final witness in the trial of the man accused of recklessly driving his speedboat into a houseboat on Shuswap Lake in 2010 and killing its driver has told a B.C. Supreme Court judge he nearly ran into an unlit houseboat earlier the same night. Leon Reinbrecht’s trial on one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm is now in the argument stages. The trial began in February. Reinbrecht was charged after his speedboat collided nearly head-on with a houseboat on Magna Bay on July 3, 2010. The crash, which took place following a post-Canada Day fireworks display, killed Ken Brown. Reinbrecht does not deny operating the speedboat, but his lawyers have argued the houseboat was not properly lit prior to the nighttime crash. Taking the stand on Tuesday, Alex McLean testified he nearly struck an unlit houseboat with his powerboat just before the fireworks display began. “It was what I would describe as last light,” McLean said. “It wasn’t completely dark, but it was very, very close to completely dark.” McLean, a natural-resource officer in Golden, said he slowed down to about 16 km/h as he drove his boat into Magna Bay, given the dark conditions and congested boat traffic. “Suddenly, my wife was on the bow and I was See Boater on page 2

Boater contacted police Continued from front driving and I think both of us saw it at the same time because she hollered at me and I saw the shape at the same time,” he said. “It was a houseboat. We were on a collision course with it. I couldn’t see anything but a shape in the darkness.” McLean said the houseboat was completely unlit except for a small, dim blue light on its stern near the water line. “My initial emotion was one of anger because it didn’t have any lights on,” he said. “I circled around and went to approach the boat to holler at them to turn their lights on. “We didn’t approach the boat which, in hind-

sight, I don’t know if this is the boat involved or not, but we should have approached the boat. We continued on past the bay and never saw that boat again.” After learning about the crash the following day, McLean said he phoned police. “I phoned the Chase RCMP – the reason why was to let them know that we’d almost hit a houseboat that night, as well,” he said. “That seemed like pertinent information for their investigation. “The officer told me that they, as in the RCMP, had been receiving many calls from people that were at the fireworks that night. They told me that if they needed any further information from me, that they’d phone me in the future.”

Earlier this year, McLean said, he was travelling through Kamloops when he came across news reports about Reinbrecht’s trial beginning. He said he phoned the Kamloops court registry and asked to speak to a lawyer involved. Eventually, the court heard, his message was passed on to Crown counsel and a Chase

Mountie contacted McLean a few days later. He provided police with a statement in March, but was not called as a Crown witness. Reinbrecht’s lawyers elected to call McLean as a defence witness. The Crown had no questions for McLean on cross-examination. Lawyers are expected to meet on June 15 to fix a date for closing arguments.

Pollen or algae bloom?

Water quality: Ministry investigates citizen reports. By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Ministry of Environment is investigating reports of algae blooms in Shuswap and Mara lakes. Reports of a yellow-brown substance in Mara Lake began to surface last Thursday. On Friday, May 22, Salmon Arm biologist Jeremy Ayotte said he and five others were on a canoe excursion, paddling along the east side of Shuswap Lake toward Anstey Arm, when they encountered a “yellow-orange mat of algae hovering about a metre below the surface.” “It was patchy in places, sometimes wispy and thin,” Ayotte explained in an email. “In other places it appeared to be a solid mass. There was no smell, but it also didn’t appear to break the surface of the lake.” The Ministry of Environment received word of the bloom on Friday. Ministry spokesperson David Karn said in an email Tuesday, May 26, that the ministry’s water quality section staff were aware of the bloom and were “monitoring the situation by reviewing water-quality monitoring information,” and were also in contact with Interior Health. Ayotte said last week’s weather and lake conditions –

unusually warm temperatures and calm waters – were conducive to algae blooms, as seen in Shuswap Lake in 2008, and in Shuswap and Mara lakes in 2010. On his return trip Sunday, with the cooler temperatures and heavy rains, he said he could no longer see any signs of what he saw Friday. Ministry staff have found pockets of ochromonas, a single-celled algae most common in spring and in nutrient-poor waters, they haven’t found anything amounting to the blooms of previous years. They are also finding a lot of pollen on the lakes right now which, when it sinks into the water, can look like algae. From what he saw Friday, however, Ayotte stressed the need for better management of the Shuswap watershed Shuswap Environmental Action Society president Jim Cooperman agrees, calling for an active Shuswap Watershed Council, as well as point-source monitoring of suspected nutrient sources, specifically agricultural operations along the Shuswap River. “They’ve identified nutrient spikes in the river and in Mara Lake, but they can’t tell you where it comes from,” said Cooperman. “The point-source monitoring will tell you the source of the nutrients.”

Updated Shuswap Better At Home Schedule Monday afternoons: Sicamous - Eagle Valley Community Support Society May 4, 11, 18, 25 • June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 • 1-4pm

Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C South Shuswap director and watershed council chair, Paul Demenok, called news of the recent bloom “distressing,” and said the council – comprised of local and regional governments, First Nations and B.C. government agencies – would have to “redouble our efforts with monitoring and mitigation plans.” But Demenok adds the council is still in the process of establishing the sustained funding needed to focus on problems like this. As for determining nutrient sources, he said that would be one of the goals of the council’s five-year plan. “There have been suggestions the sources are agricultural,” said Demenok. “We still need to confirm that, we still need to do the science that points to the sources of phosphorous in the Shuswap, Salmon and Eagle rivers.” Cooperman says all governments that rely on the Shuswap watershed should take heed of the bloom and support the watershed council in moving ahead. “The entire region is dependent on the health of the lake,” said Cooperman. “If we let it go downhill, and we get more algae blooms year after year, it may decrease visitation and affect the whole economy.”

Telus rejects Splatsin bid for local calls By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

For some Splatsin members, the future is not looking as friendly as the Telus slogan. In a March 9 letter to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, Splatsin councillor George William asked for support to secure free local calling for band members on two reserves as well as Armstrong, Enderby and Salmon Arm. At this time, longdistance charges are applied to Enderby and Armstrong from Salmon Arm numbers assigned to Indian Reserve #1, and to calls to Salmon Arm and Enderby from Armstrong numbers. “This has become a detriment to our family ties and communication with our elders and various areas of our community,” reads the letter. “Splatsin has never been offered an opportunity to discuss

the division of our communities through the creation of regional districts and zones for local calling, and the impacts these have on our members, many of whom are low-income families and elderly.” Although he did promise to look into some of the anomalies raised by directors, Bert Braybrook, general manager of Telus’ Kamloops Cariboo Region, did not offer much hope to the band. “In the case of Salmon Arm and Armstrong, our main competition is Shaw, so people have a choice of who they want,” he said. “If Shaw were to come along and say ‘we’re gonna provide free long distance to Enderby and Salmon Arm,’ we would look at doing the same.” But in areas where there is no competition, he said Telus would not be looking to suffer a loss in revenue, and that if the free-calling area

were to be expanded, costs would fall on communities. In terms of the Splatsin request, Braybrook said the matter is under review, but because Armstrong and Salmon Arm are competitive areas, it’s not likely to happen. He pointed out the number of other avenues available for communicating, including Skype and what he deemed significant reduction in long distance rates. But CSRD chairperson Rhona Martin took issue with this. “The challenge for low-income people is the phone is a big enough expense at $40 a month and many elders don’t have the new technology,” she said. Representing Coun. William who was unable to attend the May 21 meeting, Splatsin member Daniel Joe explained many of the band members have

minutes on their phones rather than plans. Area F director Larry Morgan said he was living in the Lower Mainland in the 1990s when people were thrilled by the expansion of the free calling area. “I understand your constraints, but I think you could re-look at this,” he said. Area C director Paul Demenok agreed, noting he can call Salmon Arm from Blind Bay and Sorrento for free but must pay a longdistance charges to call Sunnybrae. Similarly, residents in Notch Hill can call Salmon Arm for free but must pay long distance charges to call neighbouring Sorrento. A motion from Morgan to write a letter to Telus requesting that free calling be expanded in the Splatsin area, including Enderby, Armstrong and Salmon Arm, was passed unanimously.

Region hits the silver screen By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

The North OkanaganShuswap has hit the big screen. Disney’s Tomorrowland, partially shot in Grindrod, opened in theatres Friday, while Go With Me, which was also filmed in the region, has been marketed at a prestigious trade fair in Europe. The film is currently being shown at the Salmar Grand Theatres. “It’s really amazing. Word is getting around,” said John Trainor, an Armstrong resident and Okanagan Film Commission chairperson. Trainor and film commissioner Jon Summerland attended Tomorrowland’s premiere in Vancouver. “It’s definitely a family movie and there’s lots

of interesting special effects. The audience enjoyed it,” said Trainor. “It (the premiere) was cool. It was a who’s who of Vancouver and lots of film industry people were there.” Missing was the star, George Clooney. “There was a rumour he’d be there but he didn’t show,” said Trainor. Clooney and the rest of the cast and crew were in the North Okanagan in the summer of 2013, and the region is profiled early on in the film. “There is a very cool scene, that I actually watched be shot, where a young George Clooney comes in on a jetpack and crashes,” said Trainor. “The farm house and farm and certainly the hills around Enderby

are recognizable. There were also back roads in Armstrong I recognized.” At the same time that Tomorrowland is turning heads in theatres, another movie with North Okanagan links is also garnering attention. The trailer for Go With Me was featured at the film industry’s sales market in Cannes, France. “We were meeting with international film distributors who want to look at your movie,” said Rick Dugdale, producer and president of Hollywood-based Enderby Entertainment, which is named after his hometown. Go With Me, which stars Anthony Hopkins, was filmed in Enderby, Armstrong and Vernon in late 2014.

How to deal with election debates

The Conservative Party has said it will not take part in the television debates organized by a consortium of television stations, thus finally breaking the monopoly on TV debates that has been held by the Canadian television networks for the past 45 years. That’s a good thing. But manipulation by the Conservatives as to which debates their leader, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, will appear in is not a good thing. While Harper is already committed to appear in several debates, there is far too much manipulation involved in this whole exercise. This is coming from a government that has taken manipulation from the prime minister’s office to a new level. What the whole shouting match over debates has proven beyond a doubt is the political parties and the media are not the ones to organize how political dialogue takes place during an election. Nowhere is this more true than in the organizing of debates where party leaders, who wield an inordinate amount of power under our system, discuss issues with each other. It would be better if Elections Canada took over administration of debates, based on guidelines agreed upon by all parties. The points of agreement would likely be minimal. A debate should not be so proscribed that it loses spontaneity or turns off potential voters. The advantage in having it administered by the national election agency is that no one involved in organizing it would have a political or advertiser-driven agenda. Debates between political party leaders are an important part of democracy and are very important milestones during an election campaign. The federal debates need to be lively, catch significant voter attention and be scrupulously fair to all. -Langley Times

OPINION

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Sitting and watching the storm roll in Last evening, I sat in one of the Adirondack chairs in my front yard and watched as a storm rolled in. It was quite the sight. The clouds were alive with thunder and lightening. They just seemed to roll and tumble in the sky as the fury of the storm built. As it moved closer I could feel the air become charged with electricity. The leaves seemed to be quivering in its wake, and I watched as a number of birds flittered about making a hasty retreat for cover as the wind picked up. It was only when a couple of rain drops hit hard on the arms of the chair that I decided it was best to get out of my front row seat and get indoors. I have spent many an hour sitting in my Adirondack chairs watching clouds drift by, being impressed by dragonflies performing their aerial stunts, observing as mayflies stretched and fluttered their transparent wings in the morning light before taking off for the first time. I have also sat in awe of nature’s power during summer storms like last eve-

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray ning’s. Yes, I have witnessed many things while sitting in my Adirondack chairs. The Adirondack chair, or Muskoka chair as it is sometimes called here in Canada, was designed by Thomas Lee in 1903. Apparently, Lee was on vacation in Westport, NY, up in the Adirondack Mountains and needed some patio chairs for his summer home. He decided to make some himself and, after testing out a number of designs on his family, finally settled on what would become the basic design for what has become known as the Adirondack chair. Lee’s original chair design was made with 11 piec-

es of wood, cut from a single board. It had a straight back and the seat was set at a slant to sit better on the uneven ground. It also featured the wide armrests which have become a hallmark of the Adirondack chair. After arriving at the final design for his Westport plank chair, Lee showed it to Harry Bunnell, a carpenter who had a small shop in Westport. In need of a winter income, Bunnell was quick to realize the chair was the perfect item to make and sell to people who came out each year to their summer homes. Without even asking Lee’s permission, Bunnell filed for and, in 1905, received US patent #794,777. He manufactured his planked wood Westport chairs for some 20 years. When it comes right down to it, one of my favourite activities in the whole world is just sitting out in the yard, relaxing in one of my vintage Adirondack chairs. Over the 20-plus years I have owned the two chairs, I have sat and watched many a cloud drift by. I have lis-

tened to birds singing in the trees and pondered what is important and what is not. I have thrown the ball for my dog and fallen asleep with the warmth of a summer afternoon’s sun shining down in my face. I have watched the seasons change and the leaves turn colour. I have wished that some things could somehow be different, and I have felt grateful for the way other things are. One of the chairs is painted. The other has never seen a coat of paint. I think I prefer the one without paint. It is more rounded, more comfortable, more familiar. Did I mention that I enjoy just sitting there in my chair, nodding off and falling asleep in the warm sun. I wonder if Thomas Lee enjoyed sitting back in his prototype Westport plank chair and feeling the sun on his face. I wonder if he knew just how much people would come to appreciate the comfort and sense of familiarity that seems to get worn into Adirondack chairs. Maybe I should put a new coat of paint on my chair.

VIEW POINT Nature needs value on its own Poor little Gardom Lake! It hardly has a ‘hopein-Hell’ for retaining its relentlessly-vanishing wondrous natural attributes. The terrible odds against sustaining its ecological identity arise from two fundamental factors. Firstly, “parkland,” whether it be national, provincial, regional or municipal, is valued

almost wholly by its managers and public users for user-frequency and intensity-ofuse. This is the old, dated and single-minded, “Parks are for People’ dictum, where natural ecological features are merely a backdrop for our entertainment – while they last, that is! Park budgets often depend on numbers of

visitors, so, of course, huge compromises of ecological values are inevitable in such a narrow view. Secondly, there is a deeply-ingrained, historically-driven, selfish attitude that (Heaven forbid!) we, as users of the outdoors, should ever have to consider – much less practise – self-restraint, back-off, ‘let-it-be’ perspectives

on those great outdoors on their behalf. Our track-record on simply leaving nature alone is poor to abysmal. I’m very much afraid that until natural ecological features like the flora and fauna of a given area – like Gardom Lake – are accorded value for their own sake, and not exclusively ours, their

Arts community keeps our city vibrant

We often think of the great athletes in our midst and the sports events we can take part in or attend. However, we also have incredible artistic talent in this area and it is shaping up to be a cultural summer! SAGA Gallery will feature the world-renowned artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller in July and August. We are truly privileged to have

gave the talented group a well-deserved standing ovation. Recently I looked up the council meeting minutes of the Shuswap Theatre Society’s current building purchase and request for funding from council. The minutes of the Monday June 23, 1980 council meeting states: “Mr. James Bowlby of the Shuswap Theatre Society, read brief in support of the Theatre Society’s proposal to purchase and renovate the former Shuswap Radiator building on Hudson Street” at a total cost of $172,000. Council granted $50,000 toward the purchase of the building which I understand is close to being fully repaid to the City. For many years

Salmon Arm has been blessed with wonderful performances, productions and exhibits as a result of the hard work and dedication of local arts groups. In closing, I hope you all enjoy some culture this summer! -Nancy Cooper is the mayor of the City of Salmon Arm

the opportunity to see their show right here in Salmon Arm! I have been reading the local papers and am pleased to see a strong lineup of performers booked for the Roots and Blues festival in August. Haney Heritage Village is hosting their always popular dinner theatre and I am certain many of us will take in Caravan Farm Theatre’s summer production. I spent this past weekend helping with the first fundraising event for a new performing arts centre. Harry and I were volunteer ticket sellers and attended every performance of the Tribute to Leonard Cohen. Audiences at each of the sold out performances

future looks bleak, indeed.

MARKET NEWS STAFF

It was a good week for the Sorrento and Area Health Centre Society. Last Friday, B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake and Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo paid a visit to the Sorrento Community Health Centre to celebrate the $120,000 Interior Health infusion over three years. The centre is home to full-time nurse practitioner Judy Deringer, who provides primary care services to residents in the region. Deringer has been serving the community since 2013, after a successful application of Interior Health and the Sorrento and Area Community Health Centre Society to the province’s Nurse Practitioners for B.C. program. Interior Health also offers home health, public health and mental health and substance use services as outreach from Salmon Arm. “By continuing to invest in the integral role nurse practitioners play in the delivery of health care in the province, today’s funding supports the delivery of highquality communitybased health care that focuses on the needs of patients,” said Lake. The clinic, which now has some 1,000 people on the patient list, also benefited from a Columbia Shuswap Regional District grant to rig out a third examining room. Prior to approval at last Thursday’s CSRD board meeting, financial services manager Jodi Kooistra cautioned directors about downloading of health services by the province and the possibility of setting a precedent. “While neither the Local Government Act nor Policy F-30 specifi-

This puts an onerous burden on the community, he said of the $70,000 in operating costs. “We want to open a third examining room in the last available

space… and they can’t afford to buy the equipment,” he said, noting close to 1,000 patients are now getting healthcare services from the clinic. “I would suggest a grant from CSRD got it up off the ground.” Board chair Rhona Martin said she did have some concerns about setting a precedent and also the possibility of competing with a physician who had spent a lot of money establishing a practice – something

she acknowledged was not an issue in the case of Sorrento’s non-profit clinic. The motion to support the one-time grant in aid of $11,000 was supported unanimously. Directors also approved a $20,000 grantin-aid to the North Shuswap Health Care Society. The funds will be directed to the purchase of the strata unit where the current clinic is located.

Carlin cashes in on success

The Fifth Annual Carlin Country Market was held under sunny skies last Saturday, May 23. Organizers have called the event a resounding success. “We saw nearly 1,800 people come through the gates on Saturday, and they were all having a good time,” says school principal Shane Corston. “There were young and old, neighbours and friends and families. It was great to see the community come together at our school.” Carlin parent and one of the annual event’s many organizers, Heather O’Brien was also elated with the turn-out. “Kids were running around for six hours with beaming smiles,” she says. “We added some new things to the market for the older kids this year and they were definitely good additions.” O’Brien says some

kids didn’t leave the laser tag game once during the daylong event. Held every year on the Saturday after the long weekend in May, Carlin Country Market is the school’s only fundraiser. Funds are raised in advance for the coming school year. “The numbers are not all in yet, but we certainly raised more money than other years,” says PAC chairperson Carmen Massey. “People enjoy the market and are generous in their donations.” Massey says sponsors really stepped up for our silent auction and people were generous in buying raffle tickets, ice cream, plants and garage sale items. “The kids’ carnival really adds to the profits, too,” says Massey. “We have such a good time ourselves, and the community obviously loves the market.

Blind Bay Hall hosts a fundraising bottle drive. Bring your empties to the hall parking lot from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 30. For information, call 250-675-5077.

Applications Being Accepted for Two $1000 Bursaries

It seems to be a good formula for the school and the community, and we hope to host many more markets to come.” Event organizers are handing out huge thank-yous to all the volunteers, participants, and businesses that made the market a success. “It was a nice anniversary present, to have such a successful market for our fifth anniversary,” says Massey.

Wellness

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Simple techniques to help you relax Finding ways to relax can improve life at home and at the office. While it’s not often easy to find time to slow down, especially for those men and women juggling the responsibilities of career and family, the following are some simple techniques that don’t take much time but can have a positive impact on your day. · Take some time out from multitasking. The ability to multitask is a cherished commodity for parents and working professionals alike, but men and women can benefit from periodic breaks from their everyday juggling acts. Something as simple as focusing on a single task for 30 minutes at a time, as opposed to checking emails while preparing dinner or working on a project while answering a client’s phone call, can help lower stress

levels and have a lasting and calming effect on your nerves. · Make time to meditate every day. Studies have shown that meditation can affect the circuitry in the brain, positioning it to more adequately respond to illness and stressful situations. Meditation has the added benefit of being a relaxing exercise, as meditation en-

courages people to sit with their feet on the floor with both eyes closed in a relaxing setting that is free of external distractions. · Walk away from your desk and couch. It’s well documented that spending too much time sitting at a desk can have a negative impact on your health. In addition to elevating a person’s risk of heart disease and

diabetes, sitting at a desk all day long has been linked to repetitive stress injuries, obesity and back pain, each of which can contribute to stressful living conditions that make it difficult to relax. Men and women should spend at least five minutes each hour walking, whether they are getting up from their desk at work or getting off the couch at home. Doing so takes little time, but it can help to relieve stress at work and at home and improve your overall health. · Practice yoga. Yoga is another activity that can help men and women relax. Yoga involves a series of poses that helps stretch the muscles and aid their recovery from everyday aches and pains, including those that often result from stressful experiences or days at the office.

dren should exercise caution when using lawn and garden equipment. Wear protective shoes and gloves and safety goggles. Remember to turn off any motorized tools before attempting to repair or unclog the blades. · Swimmer’s ear: Water that remains in the ear canal after swimming can make the ear a breeding ground for swimmer’s ear, which is a bacterial infection. If water remains in your ear for more than one night, visit

an ear, nose and throat specialist. · Insect bites and stings: Insects return when temperatures rise. Mosquitoes may be the biggest nuisance, but biting flies and wasps also make formidable foes. Use insect repellent to keep the bugs away. Wear long pants and check for ticks after hiking. · Boating accidents: Many boating accidents can be attributed to inexperience with the vessel and failure

to take proper safety precautions on the water. Make sure everyone on the boat wears a life jacket, and follow proper boating protocol throughout your trip. · Dehydration: The body needs extra water on hot days, especially when spending ample time outdoors. Dehydration can cause dizziness and dry mouth and may make you feel faint. Always drink plenty of water and avoid alcoholic beverages and soft drinks.

Safeguard yourself from summertime ailments Summer is often marked by vacations, recreational events and relaxing moments spent by the pool or on the beach. But when the weather heats up, so can potential health hazards that can ruin all of the fun. The following are some of the more common summertime ailments and how to avoid them. · Lawn and garden injuries: Lawn and garden injuries may not be common, but men, women and chil-

Members of the community are invited to share their thoughts on the library services that are most important in the

nized in the ORL region as a result of a 2013 review of expenditures versus revenues conducted by Grant Thornton. The report found that spending in some communities like Silver Creek was out of alignment with tax revenue received and the ORL Board wants to address this. Everyone is invited and RSVPs are not required.

Baseball champs

In a dramatic finish, the Salmon Arm Bantam 2 baseball team downed the powerful White Rock Dodgers, 9-7, in the West Kelowna tournament’s championship game last Sunday, May 24. The White Rock coach said he couldn’t have asked for a better game to end the tournament and Salmon Arm should be proud of the teams they are producing.

Spalding Cup The Salmon Arm Golf Club is gearing up for the 88th annual Spalding Cup this weekend. The tournament is the longest running two-man, best-ball tournament in B.C. More than 200 golfers are expected to participate.

Finding their way

Armed with only a map, a compass, and an electronic timing device, 65 participants listened for the words. Ready. Set. Go! They

were participating in this past Monday’s orienteering event in Park Hill. Orienteering is a sport in which the participants try to reach a series of checkpoints using a map and a compass as quickly as they can. This was the first of five in a series of Monday night events going until the end of June. Next week’s will start at the Bastion school field at 5:30 pm. Online registration is preferred, but race day sign up is available.

Friday, May 29, 2015 Shuswap Market News

All about the Shuswap SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman It was over 10 years ago that I began writing this column with the goal of producing enough material for a book about the geography of the Shuswap. After I began to combine and add to the material for the book, it became apparent that three volumes would be needed in order to provide comprehensive coverage. When the first draft of the first volume of Everything Shuswap was completed over a year ago, a publishing plan was needed. As traditional publishers are no longer interested in regional publications, a local effort began to secure partners and funding. One of the greatest needs for the book is for education, and when local high school teachers became aware of the manuscript they fully supported the proposed partnership with the school district, which then joined the project as the co-publisher. These teachers are now reviewing the draft to determine if any additional material or revision is needed. What makes this publishing project unique is that once all the funds are raised to design and print the approximately 300-page book, revenue from book sales will be used to support the outdoor learning initiative and help get students outdoors to study nature. The project will also become self-supporting, as half of the money from book sales will be used for further printings and to cover the publishing costs for the next volumes. Volume one of Everything Shuswap contains five chapters and a foreword by wellknown author, Alan

Haig-Brown. Chapter one’s watershed tour describes social and geographical features for each of the subdrainages, including recreational opportunities and little known details. An overview of the geological forces that shaped our region is in chapter two, which also includes histories of mining projects. Chapter three provides insight into the region’s ecology, including many wildlife species, limnology (lake ecology) and the roles of land-use planning. The history of the Secwepemc people who have lived here for more than 9,000 years is covered in chapter four and describes their egalitarian and peaceful culture that suffered greatly from exploitation and abuse. Chapter five provides the history of settlement up until the First World War as well as some analysis of the factors behind settlement. Most of the chapters contain “boxes” on key topics, including prominent people, the salmon runs, early lake transportation, and special features. There will be spectacular colour photos, fascinating historical photos, graphs, statistics, illustrations, and unique maps in the book. The manuscript has been reviewed in depth by both provincial and local experts, including historians, ecologists, geologists, and educators. Review comments have already been provided by former CBC broadcaster, Mark Forsyth; author and naturalist Dick Cannings; and author and Globe and Mail columnist, Mark Hume, who wrote, “It’s a textbook for understanding one of the most beautiful and least understood landscapes in B.C.— and it should be mandatory reading for anyone who lives in or visits the Shuswap.” Everyone will benefit from the publication, including local residents who will have a comprehensive and

Local businesses will benefit as the book will spread the word about the wonders of the Shuswap and therefore help attract more visitors and new residents. As well, local governments will benefit, as they will have a book to promote the region and share with colleagues and visitors. We are now over halfway towards our goal of raising the $22,000 needed to publish the

book, most of which is needed for the printing. The Columbia-Shuswap Regional District has joined the project and additional funding has either been pledged or received from many individuals and groups, including the Adams Lake Indian Band, the Salmar Community Association, the Shuswap Naturalists and the Fraser Basin Council. All contributors will have their names recognized in the book and will receive one or more signed copies. If you want to help, visit everthingshuswap.ca.

HEAT THE CURE

CHASE Hot wheels

n Many Chase residents may have heard a pop or bang after truck tires caught fire around 7:37 Friday night, followed by many sirens. Here police look over the responsible transport truck as Chase volunteer firefighters put out a fire on the trailer. Initial investigation showed the brakes may have overheated, catching fire. The driver had to detach the truck from the trailer and move it out of danger. RICK KOCH PHOTO

MARKET NEWS STAFF

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake and Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo were at the Sorrento and Area Community Health Centre a week ago to hand out healthcare goodies. They announced funding for the centre along with a $60,000 Interior Health infusion to the struggling North

Shuswap Health Centre Society over the next three years. The centre receives the services of a nurse practitioner one day twice per month at the North Shuswap Health Centre in Scotch Creek, provided as an outreach service from the nearby Chase Health Centre. Interior Health also offers home health, public health and mental health and substance

use services from Chase and Kamloops. At the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, Area F director Larry Morgan said the North Shuswap Health Care Society needs $50,000 as a downpayment on the purchase price of $124,000 for a strata unit that currently houses the clinic. “The clinic has been struggling but it is a well-organized society

and what they’ve decided to do was put an offer on a strata,” he said, noting the clinic is essentially a community asset. “I have done this with a degree of caution and approached staff with caution. It is conditional on them being successful in fundraising and moving the clinic forward.” Morgan says the clinic will likely be successful but he was trying to

Workshop: Youth input to be featured. This year’s Together Shuswap, Moving Forward Together Workshop will be held at Quaaout Lodge, on the north shore of Little Shuswap Lake. It will take place on Wednesday, June 10. Registration is at 8:30 a.m. and the workshop starts at 9 a.m. The workshop series is offered and hosted annually by a partnership of Shuswap organizations and communities. Its purpose is to bring the cultures, governments, sectors and community members of the region together for a day of education, celebration, sharing, exploration and action

toward creating a better Shuswap for all of its people. The workshop will be facilitated by Donnella Sellars, Fraser Basin Council and members of the Together Shuswap Steering Committee. A special youth session will be incorporated into this year’s workshop. Because the importance of hearing from future leaders is recognized, youth will break out for two hours in the morning session to create a presentation for the rest of the participants after lunch. Then participants will break into small groups to engage with the youth and talk about their values

and what opportunities they would like addressed. Little Shuswap Lake Band Chief Oliver Arnouse will provide the welcome, while keynote speaker will be Adams Lake Indian Band Chief Robin Billy. He will speak about traditional knowledge and wisdom and how that is being integrated into community/regional planning. As has happened at previous workshops, “champion activities” are set up so those interested in particular areas can take action on them. Registration details can be found at www. futureshuswap/business/workshops.com.

You are cordially invited to attend the Shuswap Family Resource & Referral Society’s

Food relationships

HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner

Sicamous Business Directory

We live in a difficult food environment to raise children. With so many extreme health beliefs circulating, it is a challenge to encourage healthy eating without contributing to an eating disorder. On a recent trip to the grocery store with my four-year old, a lady was offering free samples of ice cream, to which my daughter replied, “I only want a small scoop because we are having a yummy dessert later.” This was true, but I was shocked. Should I feel proud of her act of moderation or panicked that my little girl was already imitating my behavior? I was reminded how quickly children can pick up on comments about dieting concepts that may seem harmless, such as not eating too much sugar. However, these innocent comments can be taken to heart, and as they

become adolescents with weight concerns, these ideas about foods and dieting can spark trouble and contribute to disordered eating behaviours. So how can we promote a healthy relationship with food for our children? • Avoid any negative statements about food, weight, body size or shape. • Remember your role as a parent is to offer a variety of foods at regular times, but it is your child’s decision on how much or whether she eats those foods. Avoid power struggles at mealtimes. • Model healthy eating and positive body image. • With adolescents, make sure they understand that weight gain is a normal part of development, especially during puberty. • Compliment your child on her or his talents, accomplishments, and personal values. • Teach your child media savvy. Discuss unrealistic media images you see on television, computers or magazines. Challenge extreme diet beliefs (ex: carbohydrates are bad for you). Remember, children are still growing and require lots of nutrition to stay healthy.

Landscaping

Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.

In loving memory of our dear friend

A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our hearts That never can be filled. Oh, dearest one, how we miss you! And as dawns another year. In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are ever near. Oh, how long and sad the day, Since from earth you passed away! We miss your sweet and smiling face; we miss you everywhere. Forgotton to the world by some you may be, But dear to our memory you always will be. ~ From your Observer family.
