Company challenges spill volume
Pollutants: Environment Canada takes lead in Canoe Forest Products investigation. By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
A March 14 spill into Shuswap Lake of run-off water containing glue and fuel products from the Canoe Forest Products’ plywood plant is now being investigated by Environment Canada. In a public statement, Canoe Forest Products admits there was a leak but calls reports of thousands of litres entering the lake inaccurate. According to their release, evidence of a leak and water accumulation in the plant’s glue room was discovered on March 7. While the leak was being investigated, the increased volume of water was pumped out of the glue pit to collection vats outside, with some of the water likely escaping from there and reaching the lake. “We have established the origin of the water leak that led to this discharge, and repaired the leak,” said Marcello Angelozzi, Canoe FP’s operations manager. “There is no longer any water being discharged from the plant. We are now working with provincial and federal agencies to determine what, if any, impacts there are as a result of this incident.” Following an initial investigation Tuesday afternoon by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Conservation Officer Service, Interior Health issued a public service bulletin saying “an estimated thousands of litres” had been washed into the lake. As a precaution, the City of Salmon Arm switched to an alternative water source, drawing it from East Canoe Creek. As well, Interior Health advised residents who draw water from the lake to avoid doing so. And the health authority cautioned members of the public to avoid recre-

By Wednesday afternoon, Interior Health had reduced the limit, restricting it to only 100 metres from the log booms, but advised private water users to continue to get their water elsewhere. The city was also given the goahead to resume taking water from the lake. “Given the location of this intake to the spill site, there is virtually no risk to health and safety of residents from this spill,” notes Wednesday’s Interior Health release. Jeff Lipsett, Canoe Forest Products forestry superintendent offered an apology to the residents of
Salmon Arm. “Canoe Forest Products regrets any impacts, however temporary, on the people of Salmon Arm, and applauds Interior Health and the City of Salmon Arm in taking the
extraordinary precautions they did to ensure any possible public health impacts were minimized. A request for information from Environment Canada was not forthcoming before press time.

Potential cost to volunteer loss By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Volunteers stepping away from maintaining the foreshore trail could result in new costs to the city. Salmon Arm municipal council has received a letter from Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society president Janet Aitken, informing the city that longtime SABNES volunteers Mike and Pam Saul will no longer be maintaining the trail outhouse or emptying garbage cans. Aitken says the Saul’s made this decision in light of the recent decision by city council to allow dogs on the trail. Aitken adds a num-
ber of other volunteers, who have helped to maintain the trail, have withdrawn their service for the same reason. Aitken expects the impact will be seen later this summer “It will be significant as our volunteers contribute many, many hours to the trail maintenance, trimming grass, bush and trees and removing debris from the trail,” says Aitken. Appended to Aitken’s letter was a memo from city engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen. In it, he explains how, if the city takes over these responsibilities, a $4,500 operational budget would be required.
In addition, staff recommends the existing garbage cans be removed and replaced with inground containers at either end of the trail. Staff also recommends the outhouse be serviced twice a week, and that the existing facility be removed and replaced with a permanent structure with a holding tank – at a cost of about $20,000. Council didn’t comment on staff recommendations, but Coun. Ken Jamieson did credit SABNES and the volunteers who are stepping down. He strongly encouraged others in the community to step up and become members of the volunteer organization.
Medals stolen in break in Police are asking for the public’s assistance in recovering five military medals and other goods stolen during a break and enter in Blind Bay. The robbery took place between 6:30 and 9:20 p.m. on Thursday, March 10. Salmon Arm Staff Sgt. Scott West says the culprit or culprits gained
RCMP REPORT entry to the Birch Lane residence through a window. While inside, they took a desktop computer and a bar of five medals from the First and Second World
Wars belonging to the owner’s father and grandfather. The medals include: Italian Star 1934 to 1945, a Volunteer medal and more. Anyone with information is asked to call the local detachment at 250-832-6044, or leave an anonymous message with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

CSRD board pans flood response ‘downloading’ By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
They say yes, but we say no. That is the reaction Columbia Shuswap Regional District board members had to a provincial discussion paper that proposes to download flood response to regional districts. The regional district agreed with some housekeeping items contained in an emergency management report but called foul on the province putting local authorities in charge of emergencies such as floods. CSRD received the paper on Jan. 19 and, with a one-month consultation period, worked with its solicitor, other local governments and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities to draft a response. “In situations of wildfire, the province is quick to take on the role of site command and liaise with the Emergency Operations
Centre and provide necessary support to their field operations in order to protect trees and property,” wrote CSRD operations manager Darcy Mooney in his report to the board, noting somehow the province believes local authorities know better in the case of floods, even those that take place in remote areas. “There is a certain degree of irony with this as typically floods and debris flows impact critical provincial assets such as provincially owned roads and bridges.” CSRD, he added, has no technical expertise, operational equipment, jurisdiction or funding mechanism to support assessing or responding to such emergencies. “The province has no trouble in responding to wildfires and we figure they should have the same level of support for flooding,” he said, noting the province has extended the response
deadline to April 19. CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton told directors there is an important distinction to be made between municipalities and regional districts – municipalities have a responsibility for water courses within their jurisdictions.
Rhona Martin “The code here is they want to get out of the flood business – ‘we don’t want it, you have it,’” Hamilton said. “Rivers run through Crown land and they have the benefits of that until something happens and then they want us to deal with it.”
Board chair and Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin was equally adamant that the province should not be downloading flood management responsibilities onto the regional district. “If you leave any Shuswap municipality and drive 10 minutes, how many water bodies are you going to drive by,” she said. “We have had disasters that we would have been bankrupt if we’d had to deal with them.” Hamilton convinced directors to defer writing a letter until the matter is brought forward at the March 18 board meeting in Salmon Arm. “We’ve had this debate before and met with the solicitor general,” he said, noting the regional district has no service or infrastructure to deal with floods. “These are mid-level staff telling us we’re responsible; they have a hidden agenda,” added
Mooney, noting CSRD staff worked their way up the provincial government ladder as far as the deputy solicitor general and nobody
could show where in the legislation regional districts are responsible for flooding. “We’re not set up like a municipality; we don’t have
a works department – most regional districts in the province don’t have that – nor do we have the technical expertise.”

Trustee numbers tell a story
BEYOND THE HEADLINES Richard Rolke North OkanaganShuswap trustees insist there’s a need to consider how many of them sit at the board table, but you can tell they just aren’t into it. As soon as it was announced the district may possibly go from nine to seven trustees, statements were being made as to why the proposal isn’t viable. “Asking seven people to do what we are currently doing with nine people without a pay raise is not fair,” said Larissa Lutjen, North Shuswap trustee. “It’s a large time commitment on one person,” added Kelly Rowe, ArmstrongSpallumcheen trustee. And certainly chopping two trustees would put additional workload on the remaining seven, but many school districts in the province have seven-member boards. One just has to look at the Vernon district where seven trustees are responsible for 19 schools and four educational programs compared to 23 schools and four programs in North Okanagan-Shuswap. Even the Central
Okanagan School District only has seven trustees and they oversee 43 schools in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country. Obviously North Okanagan-Shuswap is geographically vast, covering from the North Shuswap to Armstrong and from Falkland to Sicamous. But there’s also a fair distance from Okanagan Landing in the western part of the Vernon district to Cherryville in the east. Central Okanagan may be more urbanized but seven trustees trying to attend parent advisory committee meetings at 43 schools also means a lot of time on the road. If North OkanaganShuswap is reduced by two trustees, some representation will be lost. “If Armstrong-Spallumcheen was trimmed to one trustee from two, it will be an enormous undertaking,” said Rowe. Obviously life wouldn’t be the same but combined, Armstrong and Spallumcheen have a total population of 10,158 with four schools, while Coldstream, with one trustee, has 10,821 people and four schools. Lake Country has 14,035 and one trustee to cover four schools. And while the gap between schools in Coldstream and Lake Country isn’t huge, they are farther apart
than the four-minute drive between Highland Park Elementary and Pleasant Valley Secondary School. Rowe goes on to say that, “The cost between one and two trustees is like tossing a deck chair off of the Titanic. It’s minor in the entire budget.” True $25,000 isn’t much when there is a $1.3 million shortfall, but reducing trustees is a symbolic gesture that shows no aspect of the district is untouchable, particularly when communities may lose schools or programs. Of course it should be pointed out that trustees earn $17,539 in Central Okanagan and $13,424 in Vernon compared to $11,710 in North Okanagan-Shuswap. With two fewer trustees, compensation could possibly climb for the remaining seven, meaning potential savings would narrow. Now none of this is to undermine the work done by North Okanagan-Shuswap trustees. They have a thankless task of trying to meet the needs of our kids, especially when it’s the provincial government that controls the purse strings. They deserve our praise for stepping up to the plate. But there are trustees across our region and province doing the same admirable work and with two less bodies at the table. - Richard Rolke is a reporter with the Vernon Morning Star.

Going for a drive, leave phone at home One would think it wouldn’t still need to be said. But RCMP and ICBC are again reminding drivers to leave the phone alone. They’re launching yet another campaign aimed at underlining just how dangerous it is to use a phone while driving. And it is dangerous. According to ICBC, 25 per cent of all road deaths in the province involve distracted driving. That’s one in four. And, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the odds of crashing increase five times when using a phone, whether dialing, texting, reading or using social media. Faced with those numbers, it’s hard to imagine why drivers would still use their phone while they’re behind the wheel. But they do. According to a recent survey by Ipsos Reid, 34 per cent of cell phone users said they use their phone between one and five times out of every 10 trips. “It’s time we all commit to leaving our phones alone and avoid other forms of distraction when we’re behind the wheel,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. This month, police will be on the roads watching for drivers who have not yet got the message. “We’re cracking down on those who cannot police themselves,” said Chief Const. Neil Dubord, chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee. “Even when you’re at a red light or in slow moving traffic – you’re still in control of a vehicle – and the law still applies.” Is checking your phone worth a ticket, or worse, an accident? No. -Sooke News Mirror

OPINION
Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.
Responding to feedback from readers It would seem that writing a column for a newspaper is not at all unlike living in a glass house. The point is that in either case you don’t have a lot of privacy. Having said that, after 20 years of writing The Great Outdoors, I have managed to develop a pretty thick skin when it comes to people writing letters to the editor and/or stopping me on the street to share their views and opinions on anything I may have written in my column. Which is a good thing since last week, after mentioning using a three-weight fly rod in my column, I was stopped by no less than three people who informed me, in great detail, why it was so harmful to play a rainbow trout with such light gear. They went on at great length as to how this only stresses the fish and makes it so much harder to release it back into the water. I couldn’t agree more. In last week’s column I stated, quite clearly, that I use my three-weight rod to catch (and release) rainbow trout that are in the eight to 10-inch, half to threequarters-of-a-pound range.
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray My point was/is that when I use my three-weight rod to catch such small fish, it is sort of like using a sixweight rod to play rainbow trout in the two, three, four or five-pound, 14 to 20-inch range. I am simply matching my gear to the size of the fish. In the past five or six years I have only dispatched one fish because I was unable to safely release it back into the water. I also ate that particular fish. As I recall, it also wasn’t all that long ago that I discussed proper catch-andrelease techniques in my column. I referred to one particular experiment (by Ferguson and Tufts) which concluded that various forms of physi-
ological stress do directly contribute to fish mortality and that, by inference, a minimization of stress would effectively reduce catch-and-release mortality rates of fish in the wild. The majority of fish mortality studies have concluded that the physiological effects of stress (as a result of being caught) are usually pretty well reversed within a 24hour period. It can be inferred from these studies that the use of heavy tackle is desirable in lowering mortality rates, and conversely, that lighter tackle and lower strength lines may increase the risk of mortality. Prior to release, any fish displaying signs of exhaustion or stress should be resuscitated before being released. Fish should be moved back-andforth in a figure-eight pattern to increase the amount of oxygenated water passing through the gills. Only when the fish demonstrates a stable equilibrium and strong swimming ability, can it be safely released. I have practised catch and release for well over 40 years. Before tying on a fly pat-
tern, I routinely pinch the barbs down on all hooks. Even when I have flies custom-tied, I specifically request they be tied in barbless hooks. I may lose more than my fair share of fish, but I also consider it all a part of the sport. Such instances are what I like to refer to as early releases. When playing a fish to the boat, I also have no problem allowing a fish to free itself when it gets close enough to the boat that I consider it having been caught and played. Again, a shake of the head and they are gone. I enjoy my time on the water. I also consider myself a sportsman, in that I try to give the fish a fair fighting chance, much in the same way that I also try to respect other people’s opinions. I have never tried to make myself out to be an authority on fishing – not by any means. I consider myself lucky when and if I do manage to catch the occasional fish. I also consider myself lucky that there are readers out there who are willing stop and take the time to share their views and opinions on anything I may have written.

With DAC, they are not killing their patient, an incurable disease is. I am not speaking to this topic out of blind ignorance as I cared for my parents from diagnosis to death. Many people are not fully aware of the allconsuming appetite of serious illness and how much it takes from people; they don’t know because they have not been involved in caring for someone who is palliative or actively dying. Some palliative patients feel they have lost all control over their lives and are ex-
tremely unhappy how their quality of life can become non-existent. The ordeal of living with excruciating physical and mental pain can be devastating. If my family would have had the right to choose the time and manner of their death, I would have supported their decision. DAC is not for everyone, but I believe we should all have the right to choose. I get concerned when I hear people saying things are morally wrong. There are many walks of life and opinions in this world and just because you or I feel something is wrong, it doesn’t mean it is wrong. Religion

While I support Ms. Krieg’s right to write her letter of March 11 and express her opinion, I am afraid I do not agree with the content of it. I believe it is long overdue that Canada is finally looking at making doctor assisted suicide (DAC) every Canadian’s right or choice. This is not euthanizing people – no one advocates that, but it does offer death with dignity and control for palliative patients when they can control little else. The palliative patients who do choose to end their lives should be supported, not chastised, for their choice. As for the statement in Ms. Krieg’s let-

When Cheeko’s owner had to sadly give him up they said he was a ten year old LabX. We were expecting a slow, little old dog. Instead, in came this robust larger really friendly guy. Cheeko has not let his age slow him down. He loves a good walk and really enjoys the outdoor life. He loves every one and would make a great companion for someone who has lots of leisure time. We have been told that he enjoys the water too. Cheeko is good with other dogs, cats and children, though he is a little big for really small kids. 2430 - 10th Ave. SW • 250-832-7044 Mon. to Fri. • 7 am to 5:30 pm Sat. • 8 am to 5:30 pm Sun. • 9 am to 5 pm

A planned $1.6 million renovation to Carlin Elementary-Middle School will be proceeding immediately, despite concerns it may leave the school district without funds available to renovate Eagle River Secondary. Trustees voted to proceed with building renovations that will create a learning commons area, as well as make needed repairs. The renovations have been part of the school district’s plans for some time, however the building of the new District Education Support Centre and at the school district’s works yard took precedence. “It’s time the students see the benefits from the capital money,” noted trustee Jenn Wilchuk, who represents the Carlin-Sorrento area. Others noted the upgrade is more than just an addition of space. “We need to fix all the things that are wrong,” said board

n School District #83 trustees voted to proceed immediately with $1.6 million in renovations to Carlin Elementary-Middle School. chair Bobbi Johnson. “There are serious things that need to be worked on.” While Sicamous trustee Barry Chafe did not deny the need at Carlin, he pointed out that it might be prudent to use the current capital fund on renovations to Eagle River Secondary, which would be needed to allow for a K-12 school in that facility and the closure of Parkview Elementary. This closure would result in more than $300,000 in operational savings to the school district. He noted the District Education Support Centre went over budgets, which depleted
the capital budget more than anticipated. Chafe suggested the Carlin renovations be postponed until the school district sells some of the current properties on the market, including the former administrative building on Shuswap Street and the former South Canoe School. “I know we made a promise to Carlin and we have to keep that promise… But renovating Carlin is not saving us any money, whereas renovating Eagle River would. I think it is fiscally better to do something that will help us on the operating side of our budget.”

It was noted that there has been interest in the purchase of the current properties on the market. Chafe was concerned that should the school district not have the capital funds, the process to covert Eagle River to a K-12 school could come to a halt. “If we go to one school in Sicamous it will be the last one left. I don’t want to push them into there if the building’s not ready.”

Penalties increase for drivers passing school buses By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
The B.C. government is preparing to increase penalties for drivers who pass school buses while children are getting on
or off the bus. “We’ve had 14 children injured, thankfully none killed, in the last five years,” said Transportation Minister Todd Stone. “There are still far too
many motorists who are not getting the message of just how important it is to slow down in school zones and certainly not pass a school bus when the lights are flashing.”
Stone said school districts and local governments have been calling for increased penalties. Police in B.C. have issued 1,100 tickets for failing to stop for a

crossing guard. In Ontario, a first offence of passing a school bus results in a fine of $400 to $2,000 and six demerit points, and a second within five years can result in

Early archaeologist studied Secwepemc
SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman Five of the Secwepemc photos in my upcoming book, Everything Shuswap, were taken by one of Canada’s earliest archaeologists, Harlan Ingersoll Smith. The images show an old pit house, a woman scraping a hide, a summer dwelling and a woman with a digging stick. These files were purchased from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, as they are part of the collection from the Jessup North Pacific Expedition the Museum sponsored from 1897 until 1902. Smith was born in Michigan in 1872 where in his youth he collected Indian artifacts of stone and pottery in the Saginaw Valley. After attending university he began his career in archaeology. Although he was primarily self-taught, he gained valuable experience and gained an appreciation for British Columbia when he worked for the Jessup Expedition. After the expedition was completed, he continued to work for the American Museum, gave lectures and published reports of his excavation work. The first person
Smith met after arriving in Spences Bridge on June 2, 1897, was James Teit. He spent the next five days collecting artifacts along the Thompson River and taking photos and making plaster head casts of Indigenous people. He also likely took the well known photo of Teit and his Nlak”pamux (Thompson) wife, Lucy Antko. In his first letter to the museum he wrote, “I have seen a number of Indians and last eve found a village, which I had not been told of and had a pleasant time looking at canoes and talking to natives...” In Kamloops, Smith ran into opposition when he began to unearth human remains, as the Indians wanted the bones to remain buried. He then enlisted help from Father Le Jeune who was able to explain the purpose of his research to the Secwepemc people in their own language, and thus he was able to get their support. Smith also showed the people photos of museum exhibits so they would understand why he collected bones. Despite their approval, many were left feeling unsettled, as they believed their spiritual relationships with the dead were put at risk. Smith spent the rest of his first season travelling along the coast of B.C. and into the interior collecting artifacts, taking more photos and making more casts. During the winter he worked at the museum

n A screenshot from Harlan Smith’s 1928 film, The Shuswap Indians. organizing his collections and writing reports. As Smith worked under Franz Boaz, he collected skulls in an attempt to prove that the Interior Salish were recent arrivals to the coast. In the end, if Boaz had paid attention to Smith’s findings he would have reconsidered his misguided theory. Working with indigenous people was not always successful for Smith, as some refused to be photographed and often they would not sell their work for the low prices he offered. He was, however, unique for his time, as he tried to ensure that all of the people he photographed were given copies of their portraits. He also wrote extensive captions for these photos that included detailed information on the subjects, the locations and even the camera angle. In 1911, Smith moved to Ottawa to become the dominion archaeologist for the National Museum of Canada, a post he retained until his retirement in 1937. One of his projects there was organizing winB.C.S.P.C.A. (Shuswap)
ter lectures for school children, a program that continues today. He was also a pioneer in ethnographic filmmaking and produced some of Canada’s first documentaries. In 1928, Smith returned to Kamloops to film Secwepemc people in their village, wildlife and the surrounding region, including the river, the mountains and the lake. His nineminute long, black and white silent film The Shuswap Indians was made to show children at the museum. There are scenes of scraping hides, making baskets, dugout canoe paddling, preparing a steam bath and dancing in traditional dress. Despite its simplistic style, the film is nonetheless a classic and deserves to be seen by a wider audience. Consequently, I have requested that the film be made available on the museum’s YouTube channel. Smith made many valuable contributions to the fields of archaeology and ethnology and his reports, photos, notes and collections continue to be studied.

Combat rising food costs LIVING WELL It is becoming more difficult all the time for Canadian families to put healthy and satisfying meals on the table. We’ve experienced rising food costs over the past year and this is expected to continue throughout 2016. According to the Guelph Food Institute, the highest price increases will be fruit, vegetables and meat. Knowing this, how do you maximize your food dollars? Grocery stores want shoppers to buy products on impulse and therefore spend more. Plan ahead by checking prices and making a grocery list in order to avoid spending money unnecessarily. It is also a great idea to prepare larger meals, this way you can buy in bulk to save money and then freeze leftovers for lunches and dinners. To cut costs and boost your nutrition intake remember to use fruits and vegetables that are in season. Try to buy in bulk when prices are low and freeze or preserve to have on hand year round.
At certain times of the year frozen or canned fruits and vegetables may be cheaper than their fresh counterparts. Freezing is an especially good method for preserving nutritional value and remember to choose canned products with little or no added salt and sugar. Cook with root vegetables – such as turnips, parsnips, potatoes and carrots – by boiling, baking or microwaving. Using protein alternatives at least two to three times per week is also a great idea as meat is often the most expensive part of a meal. Pulses (beans, peas, lentils, chick peas) are a great source of nutrients and fibre and they provide good quality protein to keep you full for longer. You can either soak and cook dry beans, which is the cheapest option, or buy canned beans if time and convenience are a factor. If you are using meat, buy tougher pieces such as a chuck roast and use in roasts or stews.
Finally, use the Interior Health Store It Guide to prevent food wastage by helping your produce stay fresh longer. Just search for Store it on the IH website and you will find some great information and a helpful chart to post on your fridge – plus you will find out why it’s good for onions to wear panty hose!

Grindrod Players present real estate farce Straight from the Horse’s Mouth is a knee-slapping farce written by Pat Cook and guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. The Grindrod Players will bring this comedic adventure to the stage at A.L. Fortune High School in Enderby at 7 p.m. April 7 through 9 and in a matinee performance at 2 p.m. on April 10. In the play, Dream House Inc. is a real estate company where all of your dreams can come true. Just ask Katy Bittlemeyer the owner. Katy’s dad, Mel, and her boyfriend, Jeff, try their best to support Katy in her business
dealings, even though they don’t always agree with her questionable style. With her sharp wit and savvy marketing business sense, somehow she can make the best out of any unique opportunity. As it happens, some opportunities are a lot bigger than others. Katy discovers this when she purchases the Lydecker estate, along with any and all items located on the acreage. Katy’s staff do their best to juggle the daily operations of the business. This proves a challenge as the sneaky and conniving psychiatrist neighbor Clement Ca-
ligance is looking for a way to get Katy evicted. He may have just found it. And just exactly why is that lady from the Better Busi-
ness Bureau here? And who is that character in the fedora? Tickets for this comedic performance will be sold at the door.

Spring bulbs make their return
GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway
Ah, spring has sprung in the Shuswap and everything is awakening with life again. Farmers and gardeners are beginning to prepare their yards and fields, newly arrived birds and insects are flitting about, the stinkbugs are oozing out of the cracks and crannies of our homes and the trees and shrubs are bursting with buds. Balmy breezes are now caressing our cheeks, the delicious scents of fresh earth, rains and growing grass are tickling our noses and the visual parade of bulbous perennial flowers are beginning to emerge from their secret hiding places under the cold ground. The old Stadnicki homestead in Sicamous has had a spectacular backyard meadow for years (their new home has taken up a piece of it, so it’s now re-establishing itself) of riotous colour from
late winter onwards, from a succession of beautiful blooming bulbs that rise up everywhere through their lawns, garden beds and under the apple trees, and looks as though it came right out of an English painting. First to poke up through the patches of white and green were the sturdy little snowdrops and the dainty blue, white and pink Chionodoxa (known as glory-of-the-snow),
“First to poke up through the patches of white and green were the sturdy little snowdrops and the dainty blue, white and pink Chionodoxa...”
along with a bright yellow carpet of aconite (a little woodland buttercup) under the big maple tree. Over the weeks, the warmth of the sun slowly teases out the clusters of multi-coloured crocuses and grape hyacinths, then the bluebells and their incredible variety of daffodils and tulips – many of which had come from heritage catalogues or old gardens.
Years ago, when I was living on the Island, I spent a month risking life and limb to rescue a couple of thousand snowdrops that had unceremoniously been bulldozed over a 200-foot bank from a demolition of an old lodge and surrounding gardens. What amazed and impressed me from that overzealous exercise, was that many of those pretty little plants had to be dug out from a depth of well over a foot and a half, and yet the more mature but still mini bulbs had somehow managed to produce petals plus still had enough energy to produce a flower. Talking about being determined to survive! The pretty flowering bulbs of spring are sure a sight for sore eyes for us humans after a colourless and dreary winter. But they’re even more so for the pollinating insects, because their food supply is scarce at this time of year. These plants play a crucial role in their survival – and by extension all living things that depend on them – so buy, bum or rescue them if they’re going to go under the blade, and dig them in all over your yard like the Stadnicki family did.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Healthy eating without the artificial ingredients (NC) From fine Canadian rye to specialty teas and coffees, the process of blending is integral for creating many Canadian favourites. In fact, did you know that soft nonhydrogenated margarine is crafted from a blend of plant and seed oils, like canola and sunflower oil? It starts by pressing the plants and seeds into oils. Each oil has its own unique qualities, and by blending these oils to help create margarine, you get the best of both worlds – a delicious taste and a source of essential omega 3 unsaturated fat. Canadians today want foods that are free from artificial preservatives, with a simple and recognizable ingredient list. The Becel margarine you love with simpler ingredients starts with canola grown by Canadian farmers and has been carefully crafted to help meet these preferences. Starting with a simple blend of plant and seed oils, along with other ingredients like buttermilk powder and a pinch of salt, margarine is perfect for cooking and baking. “As a cook I love the versatility of Becel
margarine with simpler ingredients. The plant and seed oils are blended to create the finest margarine, so it’s my goto ingredient for cooking, baking, roasting, sautéing, and grilling,” says Rose Reisman, leading Canadian healthy lifestyle and food expert, and spokesperson. “We often think of using margarine instead of butter for spreading, but it’s important to remember that margarine can replace butter 1:1 in any recipe, providing irresistible flavour, with 80 per cent less saturated fat than butter.” Because Becel margarine is made from a blend of plant and seed oils, it is a source of omega 3 polyunsaturated fat which our bodies need, making margarine a simple way to help make good fats part of any diet.

Sledder killed in avalanche By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
An avalanche has taken the life of a yet another snowmobiler – the second in one week. Chase RCMP have confirmed a 38-yearold male sledder from Celista died as a result of an avalanche in the Crowfoot Mountain recreational area on Sunday, March 13. At around 11:30 a.m. Sunday, police received a report of an overdue snowmobiler possibly being involved in an avalanche, says RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk. The Shuswap Search and Rescue (SAR) team was immediately activated at the time of the report. SAR manager John Schut says his team was called out at about 11:45 and had concerns about getting two of the members with AVI 1 initial avalanche training out to the area quickly to make sure it was safe for others to head into the area. “We did our best to

n An RCMP helicopter carrying three avalanche technicians prepares to land. get a helicopter as soon as possible but we had some trouble getting one,” Schut says, noting an AVI 3 (highest trained) avalanche technician from Golden happened to be heading east through Salmon Arm, saw the Shuswap trucks and phoned to ask if he could join the search. The three avalanche technicians were flown over the Crowfoot Mountain area to assess the scene and deemed it
safe to land. “About that time, the subject was found, just before 1 p.m., and the subject was deceased,” says Schut sadly, noting the funeral for the sledder who died in an avalanche near Owl’s Head last week was taking place at the same time. “The weather was deteriorating and, under the direction of the coroner, the body was retrieved via the helicopter,” he says. “They
landed above the scene and two of the technicians skied down to get the body and skied back to the helicopter.” The body was turned over to the Coroner’s Office in the parking lot of the Crowfoot Snowmobile Club. Schut says the deceased sledder was with two friends but there was no indication of him having a beacon. “A search was carried out with beacons but there was no signal,” Schut says, noting there was discussion in the parking lot about shutting the area down. “It was mainly coming from the snowmobile people, who did close it down Sunday, but it’s Crown land.” Schut says conditions are so treacherous, avalanches are happening on their own without being triggered. Chase RCMP are continuing to assist the BC Coroners Service with its investigation into the man’s death.

Gateway Lakeview Estates Public Hearing Information
Gateway Lakeview Estates is a 72-acre property located on Shuswap Lake, north of Lee Creek, at 2633 Squilax Anglemont Road. Gateway has a development application currently under consideration by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD). On Wednesday March 30 at 6pm, the CSRD will be hosting a public hearing at the Scotch Creek Firehall. At this public hearing, Area F Director will hear from the public whose interests may be affected, before CSRD Directors make a decision on the proposed bylaw amendments. Gateway is asking for your support at this public hearing or by sending a letter of support to the CSRD in advance of this public hearing date. Through the development review process, Gateway has made several changes to development plans to address community concerns. The development has significantly reduced the number of units originally proposed, and has offered pedestrian access safety improvements subject to Ministry of Transportation approvals. A significant change is proposed for the future of the existing water treatment lake discharge. Gateway’s current wastewater treatment plant uses state-of-the-art membrane technology that effectively removes pathogens, nutrients, decaying waste and sediments, making the treated water suitable for reuse options. Wastewater is treated to the highest water quality standards and the system is monitored and professionally managed by Corix utilities. If approval is given to complete the development, Gateway would upgrade the sewage discharge system, sending treated effluent to a combination of on-site infiltration and subsurface drip irrigation systems. This new effluent discharge method would substantially reduce and potentially eliminate the use of the lake outfall discharge. Moving discharges to reclaimed on site water use is in keeping with the intent of the CSRD’s Liquid Waste Management Plan. The Ministry of Environment is also supportive of the reclaimed water reuse approach. A new treated water discharge system would meet all requirements of the Municipal Wastewater Regulation. Supporting Gateway’s rezoning will allow the development to make sewage management upgrades that will effectively eliminate lake discharge.

Playoff run wrangled from Heat

It had to end at some point, and it did at a record-achieving home game. In Series 2, Doug Birks Division Championship Game 6, the Heat ran out of healthy players and dropped a 2-1 series-ending game to the 100 Mile House Wranglers. After beating the Kamloops Storm in five games in Series 1, the Chase squad left it all on the ice in a losing effort in six games to the Wranglers. Kaden Black opened scoring in the 1st, assisted by Zach Fournier and Trevor Okino. In Game 5 of the series in the South Cariboo, the Heat earned a 4-0 shutout victory backstopped by Nic Bruyere. Pat Brady got a power-play marker in the 1st from Rylan Van Unen and Josh Bourne. In the 2nd, Michael Fidanza scored on the power play from Okino, then Spencer Farstad tallied from Grady Musgrave and Fournier. In the 3rd, Van Unen scored from Okino. Four-hundred-andninety-people were in attendance for the final game of the series, setting a new high water mark for fans in the stands. As the playoffs advanced, more and more of the curious came through the doors of the Art Holding Memorial

Cross Checks and Slashes: While the Heat were fit, no level of protection and fitness can insure no injuries occur. In less then 24 hours during Games 5 and 6, the local pucksters lost four teammates to the slashing and whacking of the foe. Travis “BoBo” Beaubien, #17, was honoured as the Playoff MVP.

Our company has been providing quality timbers and beams to customers for over 30 years. In 1983, Alan and his wife, Kim returned to the family farm to raise their two children. At this time, Alan started to re-build the mill that he had once worked in as a child. It took a year to re-build the old mill. Alan started cutting ties for the Railroad which were in great demand at the time. He was also cutting cedar cants for a re-saw mill along with beams and timbers for many homes that where built in Sicamous and the area. Alan and Kim operated this mill for seven years. Over time, the orders kept increasing and the old mill could not keep up with the increase of large oversized timber and beams. In 1990, Kim’s father (Merv Siegrist) and mother Anne had moved to Sicamous to become a partner. Alan and Merv bought a new mill large enough to fill the orders of the beams and timbers that the old saw mill could not handle. The next generation has now joined the business. Alan and his son Tyler work the mill together making a great father/son team. Our team at Hyde Sawmill takes great pride in their workmanship and in supplying a superior product to customers.

MERENICK, WILLIAM (WILLIE) ERNEST July 31, 1939 - March 12, 2016 It is with sadness the family of William (Willie) Ernest Merenick announces his passing at Shuswap Lake General Hospital on March 12, 2016 with his loving family by his side. He is survived by his wife Victoria (Vickie, nee Bodnar), and children Kathy (Larry), Glenn (Tammy), and Brad (Wanda). He will be lovingly remembered by his grandchildren Sydney, Logan, Dexter, Regan, and predeceased by his granddaughter Tina. He is survived by his three brothers Ted, Allan and Danny. He was born in Canora, Saskatchewan and was raised in Edmonton, Alberta. Willie and Vickie retired and chose to move to Blind Bay, BC. He spent most of his career working as an accountant at Imperial Oil and shared a business with Vickie in Blind Bay. He was well known for his fiddle playing with his dad and brothers, son Glenn, and many talented musicians in Alberta and BC. His presence, laughter, smile and music will be deeply missed. The family thanks Dr. Attie Heunis and all the care givers in the oncology and palliative care units at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital. A service celebrating his life will be held on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 11am at Bowers funeral chapel in Salmon Arm with reception to follow.

BERNICE (BABCOCK) THOMPSON February 5, 1925 - February 26, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear Mother, Grandma and Great Grandma. Bernice of Sicamous B.C. passed away at 91 years of age, in the late hours of Feb 26. Bernice is survived by her daughter Paulette Platzer, six grandchildren, and 13 great greatgrandchildren, Sister May Laiten and brothers Vic and Harold Babcock. She is pre-deceased by her daughter Ellen and husband Orville, sister Margret Davys. She was born in Vegerville Alberta and married Orville Thompson before he left to serve in WW2. She resided in Salmon Arm during his time of service. After the war they farmed in northern BC before moving the family to Kamloops in 1955. They spent many wonderful years in Kamloops. Bernice worked at Super Value grocery store until Orville retired and they moved to Sicamous BC. Bernice and Orville were well known for helping raise and nurture many extended family members welcoming everyone with open arms and hearts. Bernice was known to have a twinkle in her eye, always happy that you popped in for a visit. She was always ready for a good game of cards. Friends and family members knew not to sit on Bernice’s left side during cards for fear of a loving “smack”. Bernice was dearly loved and will be sadly missed by all. ‘Our heart felt and sincere thanks to all the staff at Hill Crest care home for their love and care for Bernice over the last few years of her life.

He never spoke unkindly to others, he always said “you never know what kind of a day they are having”, he always released the fish he caught and he even took his respect as far as releasing spiders and “stink bugs” into the great outdoors, if they found their way into the house. Gordie moved to Vancouver and became a Red Seal Cement Mason. He excelled in his profession, working on many large scale projects like the Olympic Village site in 2010. His work can be seen in many locations around the Lower Mainland. He loved nature, & being outdoors; always respecting the environment; whether he was enjoying it on his rugged mountain biking trails or in his kayak or while he was fishing. Gordie loved to travel, see the world & meet new people. He & Brian traveled to Thailand, he loved the exotic food and sites. During the last while, Gordie lived with his girlfriend Shauna, in the Okanagan, traveling between Osoyoos & Peachland, looking out for his Grandparents. He would make sure they were well, had companionship, shoveled driveways and many times got them to their doctor’s appointments. We thank our friends & family & Gordie’s school buddies, co-workers and many friends for being there for us during this stressful time. We would also like to thank the wonderful people at Bowers Funeral Service, for their compassion and sensitivity. Gordie will be lovingly missed by his parents; Rob & Terri Jensen and his brother and best friend, Brian; his Grandparents, Elaine & Gordon Nixdorf, his Grandmother, Grethe Jensen and his girlfriend, Shauna. Aunts, Karin, Lena, Mary Ann & Karen. Uncles, Rob, Keith, Jim & Jimmy and numerous cousins will miss him dearly. We have lost a very special person, he has left a void in our lives, but he will always be in our hearts. “Don’t ever let anyone dull your sparkle” Online condolences may be sent through Gordie’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

RICHARD JUSTIN GREGORY 1922 - 2016 Richard (“Dick”) Justin Gregory was born in Princeton BC on June 1, 1922 and he passed away at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm BC on March 8, 2016 (age 93 years). He enlisted in the Canadian Army in 1941 at the age of 19. In late June 1944, he was transferred to Normandy and later to the Netherlands and Germany. With the rank of Gunner, Dick served in the Survey Regiment as a “Flash Spotter” and his regiment was considered the “eyes of the artillery”. In about 1948, he passed his exams and obtained registration as a BC Land Surveyor. In 1950, Dick contracted polio and, after spending several months in the Princeton Hospital, he was transferred to Shaughnessy Hospital in Vancouver which primarily served veterans of the two world wars. It was at this hospital where he met his future wife Noreen Gregory (nee Mullan) who was a registered nurse. Dick was very grateful to the staff at Shaughnessy Hospital and he credited his recovery to the care he received. On May 1, 1954, Dick and Noreen were married. After working in Princeton, they spent the late 1950s in Arizona, USA where their son, Brian was born (1957). About 1961, the family moved to the Lower Mainland of BC, eventually settling in Surrey. In 1962, Dick began work in the Survey department of the Municipality of Surrey (now the City of Surrey). In 1963, Dick and Noreen welcomed the addition of their daughter, Sheila. Dick continued working for Surrey eventually becoming the Director of Land Surveying before he retired in 1982. Dick and Noreen had many happy years and they often spent their winters in Arizona and their summers at Sheridan Lake in the Cariboo (BC). In 2002, Noreen passed away suddenly and Dick later moved to Salmon Arm where he resided at Piccadilly Terrace and later at Mount Ida Mews. The Gregory family would like to thank all the staff at these two residences. Dick is survived by his son Brian (Monicka), his daughter Sheila (Chris), his three grandsons (Gregory, Deven and Justin), his two granddaughters (Stacey and Brittni) and his greatgranddaughter (Ava). Despite his disability, Dick showed great strength and determination. Over the years, his Catholic faith sustained him. He had a wonderful sense of humour and a kind heart. Dick will be greatly missed by his two children (Brian and Sheila) and by all his family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Post Polio Awareness and Support Society of BC, the Royal Canadian Legion or Disability Alliance BC.

RICHARD ALLEN HOWARD, July 18,1964 – February 28, 2016. It’s with great love, sorrow and a heavy heart that I announce the unexpected and sudden passing of Richard on the Feb. 28, 2016 in Salmon Arm outside the No Frills store. Richard was born in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, son of Margaret and John A. Howard. He was a well educated man, pure of heart, a true loyal friend, generous to a fault, kind, always giving of himself to others. Life dealt him a very nasty hand as he experienced many misfortunes during his lifetime. He was a Jack of all Trades type of guy working all over the USA before retiring due to injuries in 2009. He was about to get his Canadian citizenship after moving to Canada in 2010. He will be sorely missed and forever remembered by the many relatives left behind, especially by this very best friend and confidante, Steffan Zevarr whom wants to thank all those that came to his aid in time of need on Feb. 28th. God bless you all. Arrangements were made by Bowers Funeral Home in Salmon Arm. A private family memorial in South Carolina will follow at a later date. Online condolences may be sent through Richard’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

ANDERSON, EARL ALFRED 1920 - 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce that Earl Anderson, of Edmonton, AB, passed away peacefully at Piccadilly Care Centre, Salmon Arm, BC, on February 24, 2016, at the age of 95 years. Earl was predeceased by his lovely wife Frieda in 2010, and his eldest daughter Judy in 2013. He is survived by his three remaining children, Betty, Gerry (Del) and Craig (Liz); his grandchildren, Christian (Travis), Duncan (Vasa), Adam (Ashley), Mark, Sarah (Glenn), Laura, Jeffrey (Brianna); and his great grandchildren Lily and Parker. Earl grew up in southern Saskatchewan but spent the war years in the Air Force both in Canada and in England. Upon returning to Canada after the war Earl enrolled in the University of Saskatchewan and earned his Bachelor of Commerce degree. After trying several careers Earl decided to become a Chartered Accountant and articled in Red Deer. Most of Earl’s time as an accountant was spent in Edmonton working with Willetts, Macmahon which eventually merged with Coopers & Lybrand. Earl and Frieda loved to play golf, play cards and travel. During the summer they could always be found enjoying golf and a beer with friends at the Pigeon Lake golf course. Many happy winters were spent with good friends in California. Earl and Frieda spent their later years enjoying life in the Shuswap with Craig and Liz. Sadly, Earl lost the love of his life Frieda in 2010. The family is grateful for the care that Earl received at both Piccadilly Terrace and Piccadilly Care Centre, especially Mike and Ashley and all the other staff at Piccadilly Care Centre that so lovingly cared for Earl in his final years. While it is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to Earl, it is with full and grateful hearts that we rejoice in the reunion of Frieda and Earl. We are pretty sure Frieda had a tee time booked and was waiting at the first tee. If desired a donation can be made on behalf of Earl to the Alzheimer Society of Canada. A celebration of Earl’s life will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services, Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Earl through his obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

ARSENAULT, ERNEST RAYMOND Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, Ernest Raymond Arsenault passed away peacefully on March 12, 2016, at 88, in Salmon Arm. Ernie was born May 14, 1927 on a farm near Sovereign, Saskatchewan, to Oscar and Ida Arsenault, the sixth child of eight in a hardworking homesteader family. He grew up on a farm near Medstead, learning the work ethic that would last his lifetime. At 19, Ernie moved to Powell River to work in construction, and later as a electrical lineman in the Fraser Valley. There he fell in love with a beautiful young school teacher, Laura Fruno, who he charmed with his warm smile, generous personality and great dancing. It was a love to last his lifetime, celebrating 62 years of happy marriage, with eight children, 21 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren Ernie went into the hotel business, building the first hotel in Fort St. James, and going on to manage the Caledonia Inns chain from their home in Prince George in the late 1960s. Moving to Salmon Arm in 1970, Ernie co-owned and managed the Salmon Arm Motor Hotel, and developed the land on which he farmed into large lots with an equestrian theme. A largely self taught man, there was nothing he couldn’t figure out how to do. Ernie gave of his time tirelessly in the community, serving as president of the Chambers of Commerce in both Fort St. James and Prince George, director of the BC and Canadian Hotel Associations, Alderman in Salmon Arm, president and district governor of Rotary, Fourth degree Knight of Columbus. A devout Catholic, Ernie was proud of the 30 foot cross he built and erected west of Salmon Arm on the Fly Hills. He wanted to remind people how fortunate we are to live in this wonderful part of the world where we are free to worship as we wish. A true gentleman, Ernie was best known for his friendly smile, generosity, boundless energy, and indomitable spirit. He and Laura could be counted on to liven up the dance floor wherever there was music. He loved his family, especially those delightfully ticklish grandchildren and great grandchildren. He has left a legacy of love that will be treasured by his loving wife Laura, his children Gary (Sharon), Theresa (Stuart), Dale, Ida (Franco), Randy (Ann), Annette (Calvin), Darryl (Della), Joe (Adaline), his many grandchildren and great grandchildren. We are very grateful for the compassionate care Ernie received from his wonderful doctors and caregivers at Bastion and at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. The funeral mass will be held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on March 19 at 10:30 a.m.
