As smoke billows over Falkland, making residents nervous, crews are working overtime to battle the stubborn Bolean Lake Fire. Referred to as the Bolean Lake Fire, the fire is actually two fires. The first fire above Chase-Falkland Road is believed to have been caused by lightning. An ember from the original fire sparked a second blaze closer to Bolean Lake. As of Wednesday afternoon the fire closer to Chase Creek Road was approximately 183 hectares. And the fire on a plateau closer to Bolean

Lake had grown to 165 hectares. It is burning just five kilometres northwest of Falkland and 22 kilometres southwest of Salmon Arm. “What you see is only part of what we’re dealing with,” said Derek Williams, incident commander with B.C. Wildfire Service. The evacuation order for Bolean Lake Lodge remains in effect, as well as an evacuation alert for 24 properties. “The good news is that the lodge that is in the area is not threatened at this time,” said fire information officer Navi Saini.

on scene but not yet needed for the Bolean Lake blaze. Still, with the memory of the 2003 Whispering Pines wildfire devastation, residents are concerned. “Some people are a little scared,” said Falkland Fire Department Deputy Chief Neil Bourgh, as firefighters have been speaking to residents and trying to ease concerns. “There’s obviously some anxiety in the community,” said Ryan Nitchie, information officer for the Shuswap Emergency Program. “Many of the residents who are on the evacuation alert have been moving horses and cattle just as a precautionary measure.”
Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area D director Rene Talbot says the biggest issue is not knowing. “Some of the flames were 300, 400, 500 feet in the air and that’s what really worries people when they see that, because they don’t know,” said Talbot. “People are a little worried and some of them are seniors and they don’t move very quick.” Salmon Arm residents have no cause for alarm despite continuing See Fire danger on page 3

If You’re Visiting the Shuswap/Okanagan Region...Wouldn’t it be Nice if You Were Staying in a Beachside Luxury Boutique Hotel? Wouldn’t it be even nicer... if the luxury suite you were staying in was “yours”?
What if... the brand new beachside luxury boutique hotel was located on one of the finest lakes in the country... Mara Lake... that also featured a fun... upscale... east coast style pub... plus a social oriented wine & oyster lobby bar... where you could mingle with guests and locals alike... and make new... lasting friendships? Nice? What if... when you weren’t enjoying “your” luxury suite... it was being rented out for you ... and you could be sharing in the income of not just yours... but all seventy two other suites in that luxury boutique resort hotel? What if... there were no restrictions on the amount of time you could stay in your suite? That would be very nice... right? What if... that luxury boutique resort... had a “four thousand” square foot wellness centre... where you could escape the stresses of everyday life... and enjoy a wide range of relaxation and holistic experiences... from massage... to reflexology... to yoga... to relaxing in its three terraced...”zen” style relaxation pools? You would have to agree... that would be oh soooo nice. What if... that luxury boutique resort was situated on 2.75 acres of rare beachfront land... with almost 1,000 feet of white... sandy beach... where you could just relax and soak up some rays... go swimming... play beach volleyball... go kayaking... paddle boarding... or enjoy an evening campfire

What if... you were a boating enthusiast and there was a private marina that was exclusive to the owners and guests of the resort... where you could acquire a boat slip... or rent one... and have a year round storage facility, if you wanted. That’s a decidedly nice touch... wouldn’t you think? What if...“your” suite was professionally designed by an interior designer extraordinaire... and furnished with custom designed furniture and fixtures that would endure for a very long time to come?

n A helicopter with a bucket of water is dwarfed by the size of the Bolean Lake fire near Falkland.
Continued from front references to fires on the Fly Hills. “Geographically, the fires are at least 22 kilometres from Salmon Arm on the Bolean Plateau,” says fire protection officer Larry Osachoff, reiterating that fire crews followed up on reports of fires on Fly Hills and in the Charcoal Creek drainage system and found nothing. “Nobody in Falkland is referring to it as the Fly Hills fire.” Meanwhile, winds on the Falkland Fire have proven difficult for crews and air support, as has the steep terrain. But crews have been battling the fire since Monday, with a peak of 50 firefighters on scene Tuesday. “That’s one level of the commitment we have invested in this lower portion of the fire,” said Williams. “It’s also a reflection of how we are trying to prioritize our resources and get the right amount of staff with everything else that is going on.” In the Kamloops Fire Centre there have been more than 50 new fires

Fire danger ratings remain extreme sparked since Sunday evening, 43 of those caused by lightning. “It seems every hour or so we are getting more interface fires,” said Saini. “Our initial attack crews are super busy right now.” Fire Information Officer Kelsey Winter notes there have been seven new wildfires in the Salmon Arm Fire Zone since Monday.

Hot and dry weather conditions have once again elevated the fire danger rating throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre and many areas are currently experiencing high to extreme ratings. “Each person-caused fire diverts critical resources away from natural, lightning-caused fires,” said Winter, urging extreme caution. - With files from Barb Brouwer.

Lake showing signs of summer weather By Barb Brouwer
markEt nEws staff
The Ministry of Environment (MOE) is looking into the green tinge visible in some areas of Shuswap Lake. One swimmer reported not being able to see the lake bottom in the swimming area at Herald Park on Sunday and there are reports of a few affected areas in Salmon Arm Bay. Dennis Einarson, MOE environmental impact assessment biologist, was on the water investigating the situation Tuesday, with plans to do the same on Thursday, July 23. “We were on the water July 7 and there were small bits (of algae) starting to develop around Salmon Arm Bay,” said Einarson, who was unwilling to speculate on what kind of algae are currently visible. “There are so many algae and each one is different. But I’m pretty sure it’s not ochromonas, the golden-brown algae.” He says there were two small ochromonas blooms recently – one just south of Totem Pole Resort and another at Marble Point. Einarson says ochromonas is a very small algae that basically can grow very quickly in cold water with very few nutrients. “All it needs is a source of carbon and nitrogen and it can engulf some other bacteria,” he says, noting a rainstorm that brings new nutrients from land or rivers and streams can allow the ochromonas to bloom. “They’re the first out of the gate, but they don’t last long because other algae come forward quickly and overtake them.” Recent hot, mostly calm days have encouraged other algae to bloom, a not unusual occurrence at this time of year, he adds. “There are algae in the lake and they will grow,” Einarson said. “Whether they bloom is another question.” He says several reports at the end of May and beginning of June regarding algae in the lake, actually turned out to be pollen. “The other calls were all pine pollen; it was so heavy it was absorbing water and sinking about a metre under water,” Einarson says. “It was a heavy pollen year throughout Canada.” Anyone who spots what they suspect are algae blooms or other concerns, are advised to call the Ministry of Environment’s Report all Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277.

Chances gets rolling By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Neon lights glow, reels spin, faces are focused. Chances Salmon Arm officially opened its doors on Monday, July 20, providing the public its first taste of a full-fledged gaming centre in Salmon Arm. The gaming centre is built on Adams Lake Indian Band land at 384 Trans-Canada Highway and is a collaboration between the band and Berezan Management. Chief Robin Billy of the Adams Lake Band thanked the developers, acknowledging a new era and relationship with the City of Salmon Arm. He said it’s good “to stand each other up,” as was the intention in 1910. He noted that a lot of people have gone through the interview process, a process which resulted in the hiring of 85 people. “It’s a very great day,” he concluded. “I wish you all great success in the future.” Jim Lightbody of the BC Lottery Corporation said this will be the corporation’s fourth partnership with First Nations bands. He said in
2014 gaming grants worth a total of $600,000 went to 36 organizations in Salmon Arm. Lightbody said the province of B.C. founded the lottery corporation 30 years ago and has given back $18 billion over those 30 years. Ralph Berezan of Berezan Management pointed out that work on the gaming centre for Salmon Arm started more than five years ago, noting the effort that former Adams Lake chief Nelson Leon, who was in attendance, contributed. “Everybody put their effort into this,” he said. Chances Salmon Arm offers 99 slot machines, one electronic blackjack machine and 124 electronic and 24 paper bingo seats – for those who prefer daubers – on its 9,000-squarefoot gaming floor. The bingo section was not open but is expected to be ready on Friday. Also in the gaming centre is a Game Sense station, providing tips for avoiding addictive behaviour. The Adams Lake band will receive 10 per cent of the province’s net income from the centre. The lottery corporation projects revenues will be about $7.7 million for the first full year in operation.

Tories hide from fiscal reality
The troubled plight of the Canadian economy took centre stage on the nation’s political scene last week. While news that Canada’s economy has slipped into recession didn’t come as a shock to many financial analysts – apart from the nation’s finance minister who was still denying fiscal reality only weeks before – the reaction it prompted from the federal government was certainly a little unusual. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s response to the nation was to say, in effect, ‘I didn’t do it.’ Apparently, the buck stops with falling oil prices, Beijing or Washington, D.C. – anywhere but 24 Sussex Drive. In fact, the Conservatives have done little to diversify Canada from its resource-based economy. While China’s economy has slowed, is Harper saying Canada is doomed without double-digit GDP growth in China? And in the U.S., the Fed is on the verge of hiking interest rates to slow their red-hot economy. The prime minister might as well have come out and blamed his Liberal predecessors for only leaving him a paltry $13 billion surplus to squander. Not content to merely dodge responsibility, Harper went on to say things would be worse under Justin Trudeau and brought up the spectre of Greece in relation to Tom Mulclair. ‘At least we’re not Greece,’ doesn’t seem like an inspiring election platform. The downward revision to Canada’s GDP outlook means the country will almost certainly run a deficit again this year. The irony here is that the Conservatives’ actions to create a balanced budget to campaign on helped foster the conditions for recession. Despite what Harper might claim now, a recession was far from inevitable – a quick look at other G7 nations shows that Canada is the only one now mired in negative growth. –Saanich News

OPINION
Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.
Effort trumps need for excuses I don’t even want to know how many times over the years, I have had to come up with some sort of lame excuse as to why I didn’t catch anything on some of my fishing trips. The wind had churned up the waters and the fish couldn’t see my fly. The fish were too full from having gorged themselves on the hatch that occurred the day before. And then there’s my old standby: for some reason, that I can’t seem to figure out, the fish just weren’t interested in anything anybody on the waters had to offer. I like that one because I can share my failure. The reality is, quite simply, that all of my excuses only serve to mask an underlying problem: I just don’t spend enough time on the water. There are, however, a number of things an angler can do to not have to rely on excuses. First of all, before heading out on the water, take a good look around you. Look among the reeds and foliage along the shoreline.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray See what insects are moving around in the riparian zone. Look for insect shucks or cases floating on the surface of the water. This will give you an indi-

cation as to what insects are in the process of emerging. Just because you had luck catching fish in a specific area on one trip, doesn’t mean that you will
be able to motor right over there and catch fish again. Fish are constantly moving throughout both lakes and streams in search of food. Once you have decided on an area to fish, explore all options. Even when there does not appear to be any sort of hatch coming off at the moment, there will, in all likelihood, still be activity below the surface. Select fly patterns that represent the nymphal or pupal stage of the same insect that was most recently emerging. It is also important to fish your fly pattern at different depths with varying retrieval speeds. If you are still not getting any takes, change the size and shade of colour of your fly pattern before changing to a different pattern altogether. Remember, too, that you have a better chance of catching fish with your fly in the water than you do with it out. Too much time spent changing back and forth with different patterns is valuable fishing time wast-
ed. The same holds true for time making too many false casts. It may look good to other anglers, but it doesn’t catch fish. One major oversight on the part of many anglers is they do not check the points of their hooks or the knots in their leaders often enough. Every snag and every fish hooked puts wear and tear on your terminal tackle. Dull hooks, damaged, weakened leaders and strained knots account for too many lost fish. I know. So sharpen your hooks and check your leaders often. Even the best of anglers will experience days when they simple can’t get the fish to bite. That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching. However, a little observation and a few precautionary measures can make a huge difference when it comes to not having to rely on lame excuses like I have had to do – far too many times.

loss of sea ice and its reflective barrier, and methane escaping as the permafrost melts. The cause of the heat and drought is being blamed on a massive “warm blob” in the ocean, which is two to four degrees warmer than normal. Knowing that climate change is predicted to accelerate along with the negative impacts is one of the reasons I write this column and the books, to provide the “base case” of what the Shuswap is like now. It will be helpful in the future to have a record of what the Shuswap was like before climate change kicked in. That is why the volunteer measurements that Bernhard Kramer is taking and graphing is so important, as it provides evidence of the aberrations occurring. The most important work needed now to address global warming is to determine what measures are needed to adapt to the change. One step needed in the Shuswap would be to measure the amount of water remaining in the glaciers and estimate the current rate of melt. Another would be to improve wildfire prevention and protection. From flood to drought, we face an uncertain future, which is why a plan is needed.

not predict. Diseases and/or drought could devastate forests and forest-dependent wildlife and agriculture will be at risk. With the temperatures soaring there will be more unpredictable, intense weather events such as the freak hailstorm a few weeks ago that damaged many gardens in the Shuswap. Fortunately, most of the garden plants damaged by hail recovered, and now we are witnessing early harvests for many vegetables. This year has been so remarkably warm that the tomatoes have ripened over a month earlier than normal. It would be interesting to see a compendium of observations from a variety of Shuswap farmers and gardeners. The flow of water in many of our rivers in the fall is in part dependent on nearby glaciers, which are melting quickly. Once these glaciers are gone, Shuswap rivers could become but a trickle in the fall and lake levels will be lower than what we are witnessing now. And as we face less water here, so will our neighbours, far and wide, which could lead to competing demands for the resource. All the climate change studies predict a steep exponential increase due to positive feedback loops that kick-in as temperatures increase. Feedback loops such as vast forests killed by beetles,

Early in the spring, an expert on the radio explained how this summer would resemble what the near future will be like due to climate change. So far, his prediction has rung true, with smoking hot temperatures throughout the province, an early and pervasive forest fire season and now severe drought. So far, the Shuswap has been relatively unscathed, but we have two months to go before the fire season is over and there is uncontrolled fire near Falkland While the impacts mount in regions to the west and south of the Shuswap, one of our major concerns should be the rapidly declining lake level. Bernhard Kramer has been keeping track of lake levels on his Shuswap Lake Watch website since 2002 and this year is totally unique. Normally the lake does not begin to rise until early April, but this year it began in early February and by April it reached an unusual peak and then declined when normally it is rising.
The lake fully peaked just prior to mid-June and since then it has been dropping precipitously. Currently, the level of the lake is one month ahead of schedule, so if this trend continues, the lake will be far lower than its lowest level by this fall when the salmon run begins. With such low water levels in the lake, the streams and the Thompson and Fraser Rivers, the potential for problems will be high. Not only are the salmon at threat when the water level gets low and the temperature rises, but trout and other fish also struggle. Just recently, there was a fish die-off in a tributary of the Barriere River, when the creek nearly dried up. Low water levels could also impact tourism and put some water intakes at risk. What we are witnessing is but the tip of a very large melting iceberg, as the impacts we are seeing now are a result of the carbon released into the atmosphere 40 years ago or longer, due to the time lag between when the carbon leaves the smokestack and when it begins to warm the planet. As warm as it was this January, when the snow began melting, and in June, when temperature records were broken, it will just keep getting warmer. With the heat will come serious impacts, many of which we can-

Always messy mealtimes with toddlers HeAltHy Bites Serena Caner Generally speaking, I am not a dog person. However, I find myself
contemplating a dog almost every mealtime now just so I don’t have to clean the spilled milk, sticky rice or rejected veggies my little ones have tossed on the floor. I have also contemplated ear plugs. Sometimes my husband and I look at each other, shrug and wonder, “Is there something wrong with our children?” But alas, the following behaviours are considered
normal for toddler and preschool-aged children: • Eating very little one day and eating a lot the next day • Refusing to eat vegetables or meat • Wanting favourite snack foods all the time • Poor table manners (shrieking, throwing or playing with food, not wanting to sit down for more than five minutes…etc)
If your child is picky to the extent that he or she is not growing or gaining weight, or if you believe there may be a food sensitivity or allergy, you may need to see a qualified professional. So how can we set ourselves up for the most positive mealtime experience possible (besides sending the kids to grandma’s house)?
• Serve at least one well-liked food at each meal, even if it is just bread or rice. This ensures your child will be full even if they are not ready to try other new foods. This also provides reason to say no to the inevitably requested “other” foods. “We are not eating popcorn right now. If you are still hungry, you can eat more rice.” • Avoid trying to
control how much your children eat. This means avoiding bribing, coaxing, punishing or other forms of pressure to eat food. Keep mealtimes relaxed and role model healthy eating. Your child will try a new food when they are ready. Your job is to keep offering it. • With this age group, visual appearance of food is very important. Finger foods or foods

Champions raised in Solsqua By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAff
Sicamous and the Eagle Valley have produced their share of champions – of both the two- and fourlegged variety. Several of those four-legged champions have come from Bent Tree Farm on Solsqua Road. Perhaps the most famous is 2007 Canadian Sovereign Award-winning racehorse Dancing Allstar. Other victories for the chestnut filly include the Whimsical Stakes at Woodbine and the Ernie Samuel Memorial Race. “We’re very proud of her,” says Bent Tree Farm owner and award-winning thoroughbred breeder Valerie Hiebert. “But all of her brothers and sisters did very well….” As a thoroughbred breeder, Hiebert says her focus is on quality over quantity, noting she currently has about a half-dozen horses in her care. However, the current apple of her eye is Mr. G (short for Gorgeous), a yearling being groomed to follow in the footsteps of his successful relatives. “We knew this was a good horse from the very beginning because he stood up right
away, he was smart, he went on his mom’s milk and sucked on right away…,” said Hiebert. “He’s really athletic and he’s got the priceless quality of instant acceleration – from a standing stop he can just fly. And he’s got speed, agility and so you can tell.” Mary Rendleman, Hiebert’s horse trainer for the past 20 years or so, also sees great potential in Mr. G, who she could tell was going to be a good horse from the get-go. “You can tell temperament,” said Rendleman. “Most of the horses all have a different personality and temperament. The ones that are calm or quieter are usually the ones that go farther. The ones that are really nervous…, it’s harder for them to keep their concentration when they’re working with you or on the track or anywhere else.” Hiebert emphasized the success of her horses is owed in part to how they’re trained, with kindness and love, at a rate determined by the individual horse. “There’s no roughness or wild cowboy rodeo stuff – It’s all gradual, nice, kind stuff,” said Hiebert. “If you’re doing some-

and I watch them on TV or on the computer,” says Hiebert. “It’s fabulous to see Dancing Allstar in Woodbine winning the Ernie Samuel Memorial Race – to be at that level, watching something that I bred on my little farm, is a miracle.”

n Valerie Hiebert and horse trainer Mary Rendleman share a moment with Mr. G. thing nice they respond positively.” Studying pedigree also plays big behind the successes from Bent Tree. “I can stay up until two in the morning reading and studying and underlining and figuring out who to breed to who and why,” says Hiebert, who also looks after the birthing of her horses. Not surprisingly, Hiebert has a great affection for her animals and much pride in their successes. She says the only thing that comes close to her passion for horse breeding is her passion for art, including watercolour and acrylic painting, of which her horses are often the subject. “I’ve been drawing and painting since I was a little girl,”
says Hiebert. “But the painting of horses has been going on for, I guess, 30 years. I love the horses and I love to paint. So I don’t know which I am first and foremost, an artist or a horse breeder. One day I’m an artist who paints her horses and the next day I’m a horse breeder who just happens to paint horses.” In September, Mr. G. will be transported to the Lower Mainland for show and sale. While somewhat anxious about the event, and about the market in general, she is confident in Mr. G. and his abilities, and expects he will easily follow in his family’s footsteps, perhaps even as far as Dancing Allstar. “I’ve watched them (race) in person – I go to the races if I can…

Bracelets to help infant with heart defect By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAff
Though Teri, Colin and Ayla Hutchinson have only known their daughter and sister Britton for two months, they already know she’s a fighter. On May 13, 2015, the Sicamous family celebrated the birth of their second daughter, Britton Thea Hutchinson at hospital in Edmonton. While she appeared to be a healthy baby girl, the family knew in advance she would be born with a heart condition – a rare congenital heart defect called pulmonary artesia with intact ventricular septum. It was thought Britton would require a series of surgeries that would allow her heart to function. However, after several tests, it was learned Britton’s coronary arteries are also in poor condition. “We had no choice but to list Britton for heart transplantation,” write the Hutchinsons on a Facebook page
called Baby Britton’s Heart Journey. “The wait for a new heart is completely unknown. Although she was stable on medication allowing her heart to function as though she was still in utero, that would not be sufficient long term.” Recently, Britton’s condition declined, requiring a trip to the emergency room. The Hutchinsons state that within a half hour, Britton had gone into cardiac arrest and required CPR for 26 minutes. She was hooked up to an ECMO (extra corporal membrane oxygenation) machine to provide artificial heart and lung support, and doctors were able to get her heartbeat back. Because of Britton’s fragile state, she will remain in hospital until she receives a new heart or she is big enough for a procedure to eliminate the shunt. However, the latter will not eliminate the need for a transplant.

n Britton Hutchinson is recovering well after recently going into cardiac arrest. Her family says she will now stay in hospital until a new heart is found. Last Friday, the Hutchinsons reported Britton is recovering, that she’s been taken off ECMO and while still in a fragile condition, is improving. Meanwhile, in the Shuswap, Nikki Stelmak, a close friend of the Hutchinsons, has been looking after the Facebook page, helping to keep people up to date on Britton’s status.

Sim claims sixth in world in Colombia She has proven herself at all levels of competition, most recently at the International Association of Athletics Federation’s World Youth Championships in Cali, Colombia last weekend. Representing Canada, Glynis Sim finished sixth in the 2,000-metre steeplechase final, and shattered her personal best time by seven seconds with a time of 6:45:58. Overall, 31 competitors from 22 countries competed in the 2,000-m women’s steeplechase event. Sim ran in the second of two heats finishing fifth, with a time of 6:59.10, qualifying in the 10th spot out of 15 available. Two days later, in the final, Sim ran the race of her life, finishing only 10 seconds off the podium. She said before heading to Cali, her goal was to set a new personal best. In total, 1,424 athletes from 156 countries competed in the ninth edition of the youth championships.

Evacuation alert north of Adams Lake An evacuation alert was issued by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District on July 21 and was still in effect at press time. It states there is a wildfire at Adams River on the north end of Adams Lake and the wildfire poses an imminent threat to people and property. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has issued an evacuation alert for the following area: • Six properties at Adams River (north end of Adams Lake) including 12400, 12504, 12505, 12595, 12680 and 12685 Adams West Forest Service Road. For updates go to the TNRD website at https://www.tnrd.ca/. The evacuation alert was issued to prepare residents to evacuate their premises and property should it be found necessary. Residents will be given as much advance
warning as possible prior to the evacuation; however, they may receive limited notice due to changing conditions. What you should do when an alert is in effect: 1. Locate all family members and be prepared to evacuate your residence and property to an identified safe reception centre. 2. Gather essential items such as medications, eyeglasses, valuable papers (insurance), photographs and immediate care needs for dependents. 3. Prepare to move any disabled persons and children. 4. Collect pets and pet needs. 5. If possible, move livestock to a safe area. This is not an evacuation order. If an evacuation is required, additional information, including the location and directions to the reception centre will be provided.

Take a friend to market By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Enjoy local fruit and produce – and maybe a resort getaway. Until the end of the month, the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets, which includes the Chase Farm & Craft Market, as well as the Shuswap Farm & Craft Market in Salmon Arm, the Blind Bay Farmers’ Market, and Sorrento Village Farmers’ Market, is offering a Meet My Market promotion. Residents are invited to bring a friend to their favourite farmers’ market this month, fill out a ballot and enter to win a three-night getaway for two to Sparkling Hill Resort on the outskirts of Vernon. Gene Bailey, manager of the Shuswap
farmers’ market, is all for the idea. “Definitely, it’s getting people who don’t normally attend markets to come down and see what’s available… Then they can reap the benefits of local fruit and produce,” he says. The Chase Farm & Craft Market is open every Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. from May 8 to Sept. 25. It is located in downtown Chase in the Curling Club parking lot, corner of Shuswap Avenue and Wilson Street. The Chase market offers a variety of seasonal, locally grown produce, farm fresh eggs, fresh baked goods, gourmet preserves, dry rubs, salsas, BBQ sauces and a selection of unique handcrafted items. Ample
parking is available. Also participating in Salmon Arm is the Shuswap Family Resource Centre. Executive director Patti Thurston says the resource centre is in its second year of a threeyear pilot program, where families and seniors can apply to take part. Successful participants receive coupons worth $15 each week to shop at the farmers’ market. Along with bringing a friend to the market and filling out a ballot, you’re also invited to take a photo at your favourite farmers’ market and post it on social media, tagging @ bcfarmersmarket and adding #MeetMyMarket to enter. If you’re not on Instagram or Twitter, you can en-
ter via Facebook on the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets page at www.facebook.com/ BCAFM. All entries will be automatically entered to win one of two grand prizes – the three-night getaway plus wine touring for two to the resort. Social media entrants will also be eligible to win one of the weekly random prize draws for $50 to spend at the farmers’ market of their choice. Across the province, more than 125 farmers’ markets offer an abundance of locally grown food and locally made goods, along with community fun including live music, children’s activities, cooking classes, artisan workshops and a place for neighbourhoods to come together.

& TAMMY HOWKINS
Fifty-five years ago Nobosuke Kishi, Japan’s prime minister, resigned just after winning the battle to push the treaty revising the country’s military alliance with the United States through parliament. The demonstrations against it were so massive and violent that his political capital was exhausted. Today his grandson, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, is waging a quite similar battle, but he will probably get away with it. More’s the pity. Abe, like his grandfather, is on the right of Japanese politics, and his target this time is Article 9 of Japan’s post-war “Peace Constitution.” That clause undermines his vision of Japan as a “normal country” (like the U.S., Britain or France) that sends its troops overseas to fight wars. The language of Article 9 is clear. It says “the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes… Land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained.” It would take a pretty sharp lawyer to get around that. Moreover, it’s very hard to change the Japanese constitution. It would take a two-thirds majority in each house of parliament, plus a national referendum, to change or drop Article 9. Abe would certainly lose that referendum: 80 percent of Japanese like Article 9 just the way it is. This is deeply ironic, since it was written into the post-war Japanese constitution in 1946 by the American occupa-
about aggressive wars, of course; only “just” wars, probably alongside their American allies. The big stumbling block has always been popular opinion – but Shinzo Abe has found a way around that. If you can’t win a referendum on constitutional change, then don’t hold one. Just “reinterpret” Article 9 so it means the opposite of what it seems to say. Shinzo Abe’s cabinet did that last year, declaring that Article 9 really allows the military to go into battle overseas to protect allies — socalled “collective defence” — even if there is no direct threat to Japan or its people. That covers just about every contingency. Last week, Abe pushed two bills through parliament that reshape military policy and structures in accord with that reinterpretation. The opposition parties walked out and thousands demonstrated outside the parliament building. But the deed is done, and there won’t be any referendum about it. Unless some mass movement arises to protest against this cynical manipulation of the law, Abe will get away with it. The “Peace Constitution” will need a new name, and the United States will finally have a Japan willing to fight by its side. No doubt that will make the world a safer place.

contrast between Nobosuke Kishi, who became Minister of Munitions in the Imperial Japanese government in 1941, and Albert Speer, whom Hitler appointed as Minister of Armaments and War Production in early 1942. Both men were arrested at war’s end, and Speer was sentenced to 20 years in prison. But Kishi was never charged, and while Speer languished in Spandau prison Kishi was freed, helped to found the Liberal Democratic Party that has dominated Japanese politics ever since, and was elected prime minister in 1957. In fact, the great majority of the “400” of that era were back in business by the mid-1950s: the United States needed to get Japan back on its feet in a hurry, and it had nowhere else to turn. So here we are, half a century later, and their descendants are still in charge. Japan is a democracy, but the voters mainly get to choose between members of the 400. Kishi’s brother, Eisaku Sato, was prime minister for eight years in the 1960s and early 1970s, and his grandson Shinzo Abe became prime minister for the first time in 2006. It’s safe to say that most members of the elite have always wanted Japan to become a “normal country” that is free to fight wars again. They aren’t thinking

tion authorities, who feared that otherwise Japan might re-militarise and become an international threat again. By the mid-1950s, however, the United States was locked into the Cold War confrontation with Communist China and the Soviet Union, and it badly wanted Japanese military support in Asia. But by then the Japanese population had fallen in love with Article 9. After three million war dead, followed by the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they wanted nothing more to do with militarised great-power politics. Article 9 became their foolproof excuse for staying out of the whole stupid, bloody game. Those are the opinions of ordinary Japanese, however. They are not so widely held among the elite – and Japan has an elite like few other countries. A Japanese historian once told me in confidence that he reckoned around four hundred people – politicians, industrialists and senior bureaucrats – make almost all the decisions in Japan. Moreover, they have been inter-marrying for generations, and are almost all distantly related to one another. Which explains, perhaps, why the grandson of a Class A war criminal is now the prime minister of Japan. There’s an interesting

Dry Eyes and 5 Easy Remedies It’s that time of year again! Smoke hanging in the air, air conditioners going full blast and a consistent outdoor temperature of over 30 degrees. All of these conditions go hand in hand with our beautiful Shuswap summers, but they can also wreak havoc on our eyes and cause dry eyes. Dry eye is a common and uncomfortable ocular condition that causes irritated eyes and fluctuating vision. Dry eye can be caused by many factors, some we can control and others we cannot. Aging, hormonal changes, previous laser treatment, extended computer use, blinking problems and contact lens wear can all aggravate dry eye symptoms. Certain medications (like antihistamines, oral contraceptives and antidepressants) and health conditions (arthritis, thyroid disorders and diabetes for example) can also contribute to dryness. Environmental conditions, such as air pollution, cooling and heating units, and air travel can further exacerbate symptoms. Our tear film is compromised of three layers: a mucous layer that sits closest to our eye, a watery layer which is secreted from our lacrimal gland and makes up the majority of our tears, and lastly the lipid or oil layer that is secreted from oil glands associated with our eyelash follicles. The lipid layer is the outermost layer
and protects our tears from evaporation. Dry eye is a condition where we are deficient in one or several of these layers. Regardless of which form of dry eye you suffer from, the symptoms are generally the same. Burning, stinging, redness, as well as a gritty or itchy sensation are common symptoms experienced with dryness. Excessive tearing can occur when your body responds to the dryness by producing an increased amount of tears. Thankfully, most of the symptoms of dry eye are relatively mild and can be treated successfully. There are a number of steps you can take to reduce your risk of getting dry eye, or help relieve your symptoms if you are already suffering from discomfort. 5 Easy Way to Make Your Eyes Feel More Hydrated: 1. Avoid common environmental triggers- Smoking (even second hand smoke) is an eye irritant, so try to avoid it. Air conditioning that is working overtime right now (both in our homes and in our vehicles) will exacerbate symptoms. Try to point your vehicle’s vents away from your face and using a humidifier will help battle the blasting AC. 2. Over the counter dropsThere are many drops available to help battle dry eye. Some eye drops are water based to help those who do not produce enough tears, while others have oil

components added to help those who suffer from oildeficient dryness. All drops are used to help reestablish our compromised tear layer. Generally, it is best to limit most over the counter eye drops to less than 4 times per day. Gels and ointment can also be beneficial in severe dry eye, but may cause blurred vision and are, therefore, recommended for nighttime use. 3. Give your eyes a breakLets face it, we are all plugged in to our cell phones, tablets and laptops for far too long and this will aggravate dryness. We should be blinking 20 times a minute and when we are concentrating our blink rate will be decreased, sometimes to as low a 4 times a minute. It is important to remember to take breaks often and BLINK! Blinking will reestablish our tear film. Also, taking steps to reduce the glare from your screen, windows and lighting will help with visual comfort while plugging in. 4. Eat right- A diet high in omega 3s has been shown to help with dry eye. Natural omega 3 can be found in fresh water fish (tuna and salmon) and raw nuts. If

you are not getting enough omega 3 in your diet there are many supplements available. Also, eating a healthy amount leafy greens and fresh vegetables provide important antioxidants for our eyes. Obviously, keeping your body hydrated is important to help with ocular dryness. So stay hydrated! 5. Talk to your eye doctor! To determine the right course of treatment, it is important to determine the type of dryness you are suffering from. This can easily be done by an optometrist. Although there are many simple solutions to help with symptoms of dry eyes, those who suffer from a moderate to severe form may benefit from prescription medications and should be monitored for more serious complications associated with a disrupted tear film. It is always important to have complete eye exams to ensure your symptoms are due to dry eye and not something more serious. Following these easy steps will get you on the right path to ocular comfort. Dr. Tracy Thompson Optometrist

PIGGOTT, HOWARD JAMES March 23, 1916 - July 4, 2015 We joyfully celebrate the life of Howard Piggott. Over 99 years ago he was born on a farm in Saskatchewan; sadly he lost his mom when he was four. He left school in 1930, helped his dad on the farm until 1935 when he started jumping the freights to find various jobs across the prairies, BC and Ontario. He recalled having many freezing rides in the boxcars and the long, cold waits between trains. In 1941, he joined the army and was in the military police before being deployed to Italy. There he was a dispatch rider on the Hitler line. Before returning home he saw much of Europe and visited relatives in England. Back home he started working in the sheet metal business, and in 1957 moved to BC and was partner in Salmon Arm Sheet Metal. Every fall they put a memorable float into the parade. His homemade wine won many ribbons at the fair, and it was greatly appreciated by family and friends. Howard was a volunteer S.A. fireman (1960 – 1980) and served as a fire chief. He made many lasting friendships through this and also through curling. His rink started entering the BC Plumber’s bonspiel when he was 50 and he continued to participate for the next 45 years. The Plumber’s parties were legendary. Right, Jerry? He was predeceased by his two lovely wives; Vi (1977) and Marion (2006). Also, by his brother Doug (Bug), stepdaughter Delores, niece Clio, sister-in-law Pat and stepmother Ivy. He is survived by his brother James (The Kid), sisterin-law Dot, granddaughters Vivian and Diane, nieces Gale, Charm, June, Darla and Ann. Nephews Bill, Wes and Howard. Two great grandchildren, 22 great nieces and nephews, and 32 great-great nieces and nephews. Besides the dirty 30’s and war, Howard survived being shot in the head at 20, a serious logging accident in BC, and falling down the stairs at 93. He never had a broken bone. Howard was always optimistic and lived very much in the present. He was generous with his time and skills. He enjoyed physical activities and swam every morning for the last 35 years. Love of cats was the one constant in his life. We would like to thank the volunteers at the Stroke Recovery for including him in their meetings for so many years, it was the highlight of his week. The day before the stroke, you may have seen this independent man, with the long white hair, sitting on his scooter near Tim Horton’s uptown, watching traffic and enjoying the hot sun. We miss him. Email condolences may be sent through Howard’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Frank’s father and grandfather were two of the original homesteaders settling in Blind bay in 1905. He is survived by his son David, daughter-in- law Micheline Houle, four grandchildren, Brett, Sian, Kirsten, and Adrie, and by two great grandchildren, Jace and Kenzie. Frank dedicated his life to work, his garden, his cats, and his family. His passion was forestry, and in particular the regeneration of the forest land base. His contributions in this field were not insignificant. He will be missed by his community, his friends and his family. A Celebration of Frank’s life was held at the Blind Bay Hall on Tuesday July 21, 2015.

OBSERVER STAFF
Their reasoning may have differed but their message to city council was by and large the same: shelve the special events bylaw. On Monday evening, council’s chamber was open to the public to speak to the bylaw created in response to the coming of the Sturgis North motorcycle rally. The intent of the bylaw, as laid out by city administrator Carl Bannister, is to give the city the ability to collect fees associated with special events with 5,000 or more participants, particularly in relation to costs associated with policing, fire control and municipal public works. Additional costs related to the bylaw are an $800 application fee for a special event permit, a $500 fine for not having the permit, and a requirement of $10 million in liability insurance. First to comment on the bylaw was Salmon Arm Fall Fair president Phil Wright. He suggested the bylaw would have a negative impact on the Children’s Festival, which has no funds available for these costs. Wright suggested that instead of the underlong, so for 700 pagesnumber of attendees, the bylaw focus on the more than 400 contracts type it entails and standing what work themselves, and that of festival and, for services to the unemployed how to put a bid example, the number of beer garfiguring out the privacy of B.C.’s citizens dens By Martha Wickett it willparticuhave. to about 70, so that clients together is daunting, OBSERVER STAFF may be compromised.

Raw sewage causes stink
Downtown: After numerous citizen complaints, the city discovers a sewer line pumping waste into the storm drain system. By Martha Wickett
OBSERVER STAFF
If it smells like sewage, it probably is. And it was. Maggy Davidson at Spirit Quest Bookstore and some of her neighbours on Lakeshore Drive have been living with a disgusting odour for months now. It comes and goes, wafting into their stores, making them nauseous, then disappearing. Davidson says she’s been dealing with it since October, Jacalyn Hays at Bella Interiors noticed it about a year ago. “I had got in touch with the city a couple of times a year ago about this problem. They passed it off – it’s nothing, it’s nothing, it’s your imagination type of thing. It’s been a big problem for a long time and they’ve ignored it, which

Lobby the feds. That was a message that officials with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure left with CSRD directors at their board meeting Thursday. Murray Tekano and Tracy Cooper from the ministry attended the meeting to update directors on the highway improvement projects in the region, including the Malakwa Bridge replacement, upgrades at Pritchard and Hoffman’s Bluff and upcoming work west of Salmon Arm. But after hearing from directors, who wanted more extensive upgrading work, done in longer stretches, both men urged the regional district to continue to push for federal funding for TransCanada Highway improvements. “To get as much infrastructure as we can, we want federal partnerships,” said Cooper. “Remember that whenever you meet with your MP.” Directors were told that the province renewed its $650 million commitment to highway upgrading projects in 2015 as part of the BC On the Move plan, but noted many of the projects along the Trans-Canada require extensive and complex solutions. “All the low hanging fruit has been done,” said Cooper, referring to the easier stretches of highway. “Now ev- Murray Tekano ery project we face has issues, challenging terrain, complex negotiations with First Nations and other stakeholders.” These challenges make updating even seemingly small sections very expensive. There are currently 335 kilometres of the Trans-Canada Highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border and currently only 13 per cent is four-laned, although an additional 10 per cent is currently in the planning or development stages. “It’s a lot. A billion will not even finish the fourlaning to the Alberta border,” Cooper said. Sicamous mayor and regional director Terry Rysz concurred. “There’s been projects going ahead. Of course we’re pleased about the upgrades for the octopus intersection (in Sicamous) and to hear that the Bruhn Bridge is on the radar, but we are going to have to get the feds to the table, if we want to move forward any quicker.”
