...Kick-Back!! By Editor Jo Anne Malpass Valentine's Day on February 14 originated as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus, and is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country. Martyrdom stories associated with various Valentines connected to February 14 include a written account of Saint Valentine of Rome’s imprisonment for performing weddings for soldiers. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. According to legend, during his imprisonment Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge (or jailor), and before his execution he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell. A different account claims Valentine was the Bishop of Terni, also martyred on the outskirts of Rome on the 14th of February (around 273). Because of the similarities of these accounts, it’s thought they may refer to the same person. Saint Valentine of Terni is considered the founder of the Christian community of Terni and was its first bishop. Apparently, saint Valentine loved roses and used to give them to young fiancées to wish them a happy union. One day, Valentine heard a couple fighting, he gave them a rose and spoke to them
helping them to reconcile. After that, there was a procession of people wanting his blessing for new families. In Slovenia, Saint Valentine or Zdravko was one of the saints of spring, the saint of good health and the patron of beekeepers and pilgrims. A proverb says that "Saint Valentine brings the keys of roots". Plants and flowers start to grow on this day. It has been celebrated as the day when the first work in the vineyards and in the fields commences. It is also said that birds propose to each other or marry on that day. The day first became associated with romantic love within the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18thcentury England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards known as "valentines". Many people give cards (second biggest event for greeting card companies), flowers or gifts to their spouse or partner. They may also arrange a romantic meal in a restaurant, a night in a hotel or go to a party or dance. Even if you think Valentine's Day is just a way for greeting card, chocolate companies and florists to make money, you can always just use the occasion as a reminder to let the important people in your life know you love and appreciate them.

CSRD Board Meeting Highlights Items dealt with at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District January Board meeting included: Newsome Creek Erosion, Sorrento The Board received several communications from staff and citizens and responses from the Ministry regarding Newsome Creek erosion in Sorrento. The Board supported two resolutions: to take $25,000 from revenue earned from Structural Protection Unit (SPU) deployments from 2018 as matching funding from Emergency Management BC (EMBC) to undertake a remediation work plan and ravine stabilization assessment on Newsome Creek at Caen Road; And to make applications under the applicable federal and provincial funding programs identified in the Ministry's letter to pay for the remediation works required to address the current safety, erosion, and stability issues along Newsome Creek at Caen Road. Commercial Recycling in the Recycle BC Program - The Board authorized staff to send a letter to the Minister of Environment requesting the Recycle BC Stewardship Program be amended to include commercially generated recycling. Asset Management - All Areas Community Works Fund - In accordance with Policy No. F-3 “Electoral Area Community Works Fund – Expenditure of Monies” the Board passed two resolutions: 1) access to the Community Works Fund in the amount of $110,000, from the 10% All Areas portion of the Community Works Fund allocation to implement the recommendations within the CSRD’s Asset Management Five Year Resource
Plan; and 2) an amount of $90,000 on an annual basis in 2019 through to 2023, from the 10% All Areas portion of the Community Works Fund be allocated to implement the recommendations within the CSRD’s Asset Management Five Year Resource Plan. Bristow Road Boat Launch - Crown Foreshore Tenure Application - The CSRD currently holds a Licence of Occupation (LoO) over a portion of the Crown foreshore of Shuswap Lake directly in front of Bristow Road in Celista. The ten-year licence expired in 2018 and a renewal is required. Maintaining the current foreshore licence in front of Bristow Road will complement existing planning for the proposed boat launch. The Board supported a resolution to renew and a copy will now be submitted with the renewal application document for the foreshore tenure. Radon Exposure - Lindsay ForsmanPhillips, CAREX Canada; Micky Leung, Health Canada and Chantal Wilson, Little Bear Engineering attended as a delegation to inform the Board of Radon Exposure in the Interior region of BC. Radon is a tasteless, colourless, and odourless gas produced by the decay of uranium naturally present in rock and soil in Canada. Outdoors, radon levels are generally low; however, radon can enter buildings and homes through cracks and openings in foundations, making levels indoors much higher, especially in basements and lower floors. Radon gas emits alpha radiation, which damages cells in the lungs when inhaled. St. Ives Street Lighting Service Area Amendment Bylaw - The Board adopted this bylaw to increase the annual parcel tax requisition from property owners within the service area up to $10,000. CSRD staff recommended the increase to provide some stability for the function over the next several years.

Public Hearings for Scotch Creek Zoning Amendments By Jo Anne Malpass Public hearings for two properties applying for amendments to the Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Zoning Bylaw were held Jan. 22 at Scotch Creek Fire/Community Hall with Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area F Director Jay Simpson and Senior Planner Dan Passmore presiding. The Pine Grove RV Park Owner's Association has applied to rezone the property at 1131 Pine Grove Road, Scotch Creek from C1 – Commercial – 1 zone to RR – Resort Residential. While the current C1 zone allows for a campground, the use is limited to temporary accommodation in tents or recreational vehicles. Some of the owners would like to expand the use of the park to allow park models on a more residential basis. Speaking to the amendment were property owners from the RV Park and from the neighbouring Shuswap Lake Resort condominium strata. Condo owners expressed concern about the present entrance gate to the RV Park, which is located part way through the condo parking lot. Concerns were not just about congestion but about the safety of children biking or crossing the area to get to the sidewalk. The two developments share a sewer system and water treatment. The issue of overloading the sewer system with more occupants was raised by several condo owners. Many said they believed that allowing park models could lead to more people using the RV park on a regular basis. Because of potential or unforeseen consequences, one owner urged the CSRD to not grant the amendment until the other issues were dealt with. Owners at the RV Park said the amendment would not change the park usage but was needed to comply with CSRD bylaws to allow for overhead structures and park models, many of which already exist, because owners believed it was a permitted use. It wouldn’t change the number of people or traffic into the park because there are a limited number of lots. (Continued on page 7)

(Continued from page 6)
Some of the RV owners said a discussion needs to happen about safety and sewer. It was proposed to have the condo and RV park boards meet and work together to resolve the issues. One Scotch Creek resident said, and many agreed, that most of these types of problems have arisen in Scotch Creek because of poor planning in the past which led to overcrowding. The other public hearing was for Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Zoning Amendment (Yakashiro). The owners of Strata Lot 8, 1022 Scotch Creek Wharf Road, have applied for a Rezoning amendment to create a sitespecific amendment to the R1 zone for the subject property only, to allow for a parcel coverage of 82.2%, as

well as setback variances that will permit a proposed new house to be constructed on the property in place of the former house. Development Services staff noted the unique attributes of the Anchor Bay strata, in a report to the CSRD Board, that beyond the dimensions of Lot 8, there is an additional 2.6 m strip of limited common property. One neighbouring property owner expressed concern that the house would be closer to other properties than it is now but was shown it would be rebuilt on the same foundation. Planner Dan Passmore said the results from the public hearings would be submitted to the CSRD Board for consideration at its February 21 meeting.

Board Approves Urgent Action Plan for Newsome Creek CSRD Press Release There's simply no time to wait. That's the message from the CSRD Board of Directors as they voted to approve spending $25,000 for a remediation assessment and work plan to address the safety issues of residences located along the banks of Newsome Creek in Sorrento. Directors also voted unanimously to apply for federal and provincial funding to pay for the work needed to address the safety, erosion and ravine slope stability issues along the creek at Caen Road. Both the 2017 and 2018 spring freshets caused significant erosion to the banks in the reaches of the creek below the Trans-Canada Highway in Sorrento, affecting several properties along Caen Road. Stream bank undercutting and slope failures in 2018 resulted in 11 properties needing to be placed on Evacuation Alert. Further stream bank erosion continues to be very likely, especially in spring 2019 when higher stream flows are anticipated. "The issue here is the ur-
gency of the scenario," says Electoral Area C Director Paul Demenok. "We've got homes, properties, businesses and lives at risk here." The $25,000 CSRD contribution for the assessment and work plan will be matched by funds from Emergency Management BC. This CSRD contribution does not cover the costs of any of the actual remediation work, which will exceed the initial $25,000 cost of the study. This is why the Board has also given direction for the CSRD to seek grant funding from other levels of government to pay for any remediation projects in the area. The potential costs were of concern to Directors, as it is the CSRD's position that watercourses are a provincial area of responsibility and that it is the streamflow at Newsome Creek which is undermining the stability of the adjacent properties. "This is terrifying for the folks that live along there… They live it every day," says Board Chair Rhona Martin. "But at this end of things, we (Continued on page 13)

need to know what we are stepping into. What precedent will this set to be in a position to be expected to take on things we may not be financially able to commit to?" CSRD Chief Administrative Officer Charles Hamilton notes that due to the short time frame, the Board was asked to seek other funding options at the same time as the remediation plan is being developed. He notes the CSRD has received information from the province that it needs to play the lead role in restoring the stream flows, with the assistance of other provincial emergency funding. "While I do not agree with it being our responsibility,

barring a legal challenge, it appears they are shifting the onus onto the CSRD to do something," Hamilton says. Demenok notes it is becoming increasingly apparent that the issues with the creek is broader than just the residences along Caen Road, with the situation linking back to a wildfire in the area in 2009. In response to the situation, residents of the area have formed the Newsome Creek Watershed Action Group and co-hosted a community meeting with the CSRD on Tuesday, January 22 at Sorrento Memorial Hall. Federal and Provincial representatives were invited. For more information on the meeting, see www.newsomecreek.ca.
Donations Supporting Health Centre By Jo Anne Malpass Bob and Evelyn Isley and Ross Creek Country Store wish to thank the locals and tourists who have been dropping off bottles, cans and used books at the Store in Magna Bay. In 2018, proceeds from the donations totalled $9,000, which was given to the North Shuswap Health Centre Society. In 2015, when the Health Centre Society was fundraising to purchase the building it is in, Ross Creek came up with the idea of placing a trailer behind the store, a dry spot for people to drop off their refundable bottles and cans, with the proceeds going to the Health Society. Along with a donation from the
business that year, proceeds from the refundables were given to the Society as they came in. They decided to keep track of the amount the next year. Because of the community’s support, they are proud to report the N.S. Health Society received $6,550.00 in 2016 and $7,700.00 in 2017. They also have a spot in the store where people can donate their used books and others purchase them for a donation of $1. All these donations go to the Society, as well. Ross Creek Store would like to give a special thank you to Doug Kilback at the Scotch Creek Bottle Depot for picking up and sorting the refundables.

Liht News Release Liht Cannabis Corp. is pleased to announce that the temporary orders issued from the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) on November 26, 2018 have not been extended against Liht. As previously announced, the Company was named as a respondent in temporary orders issued by the executive director of the BCSC in connection with distributions to certain individuals connected to the BridgeMark Group. The respondents named in the temporary orders were restricted from purchasing and distributing securities in reliance on the consultant exemption to distribute securities without a prospectus. The executive director of the BCSC sought an extension of the temporary orders pending the conclusion of the BCSC’s investigation into the respondents’ reliance on the consultant exemption. On Dec. 7, 2018, the BCSC held a hearing to consider the extension re-
quest and, on Jan. 15, 2019, the BCSC issued a decision approving the extension request in the case of certain of the respondents. As a result of the decision, Liht is no longer subject to the temporary orders or the terms of the extension request. (The temporary orders still apply to the BridgeMark Group and four companies, Cryptobloc Technologies Corp., New Point Exploration Corp., Green 2 Blue Energy Corp. and BLOK Technologies Inc.) The BCSC’s investigation is continuing. Liht will continue to co-operate with the BCSC in its investigation. In another release Liht reports construction of the first of ten, 10,000 sq. ft facility, (“Building 1”) in Celista is now complete to lock-up. The construction of the second facility’s foundation is now complete (“Building 2”). “The prefabricated structure was delivered on January 7 and construction will proceed to schedule.”

By Gail McNeil-Oliver Executive Director Hello February! February is seen as the month of transition and we have some great transition taking place at the North Shuswap Health Centre!!
with us at NSHC!
Dr. Alison Leighton & Dr. Dinesh Mistry will be in clinic! Monthly rotation will start in March! Keep an eye on our clinic calendar at: facebook@northshuswaphealth Exciting News: (click ‘contact us’) or Two Doctors will be working www.nshealthcentre.ca Now that February is here, spring should be just around the corner. We have survived the holidays and are now two months into a new year. Maybe we have even incorporated a healthy new habit via a New Year’s Resolution?! But February can also be a difficult month for many who feel the February blues. Experiences with low energy and down spirits is common for many Canadians. Winter depression can also be more severe for some people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) which can have a significant impact on day-day activities. SAD is a type of depression that has a seasonal pattern and it may be time to see your family doctor if you are struggling to cope with these symptoms: - A persistent low mood - A loss of interest in everyday activities - Irritability, feelings of despair, guilt and worthlessness - Feeling lethargic and sleeping longer than normal - Craving carbohydrates and experiencing weight gain SAD is linked to reduced exposure to sunlight which affects the body’s internal clock. So, when our circadian sleep rhythm is disrupted by the lower winter light levels our hormones are also affected. The production of melatonin which makes us sleepy may increase and the production of serotonin which affects our mood, appetite and sleep may decrease from the lack of sunlight. But there is help! Your family doctor can assess your mood, lifestyle, diet, sleep patterns and any changes in your thoughts or behavior that oc(Continued on page 17)

cur with different seasons. Treatments can include: Lifestyle changes, including getting as much natural daylight as possible, exercising and managing stress Light therapy with a special light or light box to simulate sunlight exposure Talk therapy and/or medications to help balance hormone production The word February comes from the Latin word ‘Februarius’, meaning to purify. The Romans celebrated the purification with great festivals and so should we! Get out for some winter activities to combat the 28 days of February like feeding the birds, enjoying a coffee or tea outside, going for a walk or attending events at the Winter Festival! Being active outside and being social with others are great ways to deal with the grey days of February. And if you are feeling some February blues, just getting daylight by sitting in front of a window on a not so sunny day will help to improve your mood. Could even be time for that one resolution that you never quite incorporated yet, like getting more exercise or eating more salad to help you purify and celebrate February! Have a healthy & happy month!

I’m glad to see the topic of Scotch Creek water and sewer back on the table. Some say the tax increase will be a hardship, and for some it may be. My focus is on the potential increase to Scotch Creek property values and the jobs, the services and the potential of new development it will bring to the North Shuswap residents. Scotch
Creek has been stagnant for a decade because getting a commercial building permit was difficult because there was no water or sewer system. Having either a water or sewer system, or both, will cause stalled plans to go ahead and make our community grow. Jobs, housing options, services and opportunities are all things you should consider as a benefit.

Submitted by Karen Boulter Slips, trips and falls lead to many injuries. In fact, falls are the second-leading cause of unintentional death in homes and communities. The risk of many of these fall-related problems, rises as we age. Icy, wet winter conditions further contribute to potential hazards. In order to help prevent falls, there are a few simple practices we can follow. Wear shoes with good support and slip resistant soles. Clear pathways, tread carefully and avoid icy patches whenever possible. Clean up spills immediately. Flatten or remove loose area rugs. Secure electrical and extension cords. Always close lower drawers and upper cabinet doors. If you have small children, install gates at the top and bottom of stairs (unlatch the gates to pass – do not climb over them). Use handrails whenever possible. Periodically, check the condition of walkways and steps and repair damages immediately. Remove tripping hazards (paper, boxes, books, toys,
clothing and shoes) from stairs and walkways. Ensure adequate lighting both indoors and outdoors. Never stand on a chair, table or other surface that has wheels. If you need to climb a ladder, be sure it is stable, on a solid firm base. Also, make sure someone else is within hearing distance, in case you fall and require help. Face the ladder, climb one rung at a time using three points of contact. Ensure an extension ladder is not too vertical (1 foot away from the surface it rests against for every 4 feet of ladder height). Use a tool belt so your hands are free to grip the rungs. Do not lean or overreach – re-position the ladder closer to the work instead. Tie down a ladder in windy or inclement weather. These simple practices, which we sometimes decide not to bother with because, it will take longer or we feel are not necessary because we’ve done it so many times without a problem, can truly (Continued on page 19)

Local MLA and Opposition Leader hear from Shuswap Business Community BC Liberal Caucus Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo was pleased to welcome BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson to Salmon Arm early in January to hear the concerns of key local groups who contribute much to our provincial economy. Kyllo and Wilkinson held roundtable events with the agriculture, construction, real estate and roadbuilding industries. Representatives in attendance shared their views on how the current government’s economic policies are affecting them. “We heard a lot of concern about the NDP government’s new and increased taxes, and how these measures will hurt our hardworking farmers, ranchers
and builders,” says Kyllo. “Meanwhile the NDP’s Speculation Tax, which doesn’t actually address speculation, is already putting the freeze on housing projects in this province. And the roadbuilders in particular aren’t happy with the NDP’s Community Benefits Agreements, which are shutting numerous companies out of the bidding process for major public infrastructure projects.” Kyllo says the NDP government should rethink its damaging tax schemes and unfair union agreements, which will only hurt the local and provincial business community and the many workers relying on good jobs to support their families.

Scotch Creek Subdivision - Coming Soon Scotch Creek Developments has applied for a subdivision of their Osprey Landing property on Osprey Place in Scotch Creek. When approved, the first phase will consist of 42 bare land strata single family residential lots plus a remainder for future phases. The Official Community Plan identifies Scotch Creek as a Primary Settlement Area. As a condition of development, all rezoning and/or development applications in Scotch Creek must provide proof that they will be connected to or are already connected to a community sewer system and a community water utility. The lack of these two systems has held back development in Scotch Creek for several years. Scotch Creek Community Sewer System To solve the problem of a lack of a community sewer system, Scotch Creek Sanitary Services (SCSS) has obtained a parcel of land from the Scotch Creek Development property and had it rezoned for
parameters identified in the definition.

Lions Club News By Pat Anderson A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! Thanks Jo Anne Malpass for your very positive article in the January Kicker on how the North Shuswap Lions Support Youth. With the very warm weather in early January we had to postpone the Farrells Field skating party from January 12th to the 26th with hopes that the weather got a bit colder. We are changing the venue for the Lions weekly Meat Draw and 50/50 from the Scotch Creek Community Centre to the Hub commencing February 2. It will continue at the Hub on February 9 and 16 and will return to Lakeview Centre on February 23. For the remainder of the season we will continue to hold the Meat Draw and 50/50 on alternate weeks between the Hub and Lakeview Centre starting on March 2 at the Hub. This decision was made in consultation with Karla Bennett and Amanda Chypiska who have operated the food and beverage
concession at the Scotch Creek Community Centre for the past year. Without their drive, persistence and help, the Lions would not have been able to carry on with this event. Both the Lions and the community say “Thank You Karla and Amanda”. We would also like to thank the CSRD for their financial assistance in providing the North Shuswap Community Hall and especially to Larry Morgan for his advice and leadership. February will be a very busy month for our Lions Club. Our club is co-hosting with Lakeview Centre a Valentine’s Dinner on February 9 at the Centre. In addition to an excellent pasta dinner complete with Caesar salad and dessert, you can enjoy the Silent Auction, a 50/50 Draw or be able to win two $50 Gift Certificates to the Hub Restaurant. As well, you can participate in a Romantic Dance Lesson being taught by Connie and Tom. All this for only $20 per person; it doesn’t (Continued on page 26)

Kickin’ Tech News Understanding Wifi John Seymour Lakeside Technical Solutions
that have the technology built in. Cellular WiFi is a totally different animal. Those signals are generated by cell phone carriers such as Telus or Bell and at much lower frequencies (700 MHz – 2600 MHz). Lower frequencies allow the signal to travel much further and through most obstacles. Any device that has a SIM card inside can access these signals for a cost. When you purchase a smartphone plan, you will also decide on your ‘data’ plan for Internet access. Historically, cellular data plans are expensive and have usage limitations, meaning that the more you use, the more you pay. This is why your adult children and grandkids always want to connect to your home WiFi when they visit. The world of WiFi is changing rapidly especially where cellular is concerned. Within a year or two, new technology will roll out that will greatly increase the speed of cellular data, which will translate into even more devices that rely on high Internet speeds such as driverless vehicles, robotics and artificial Intelligence. This new technology, called 5G and not to be confused with the 5GhZ signal generated by your home router, is about 100 times faster than the current 4G (LTE) currently in use. If you have any questions or comments about WiFi, feel free to get in touch.
WiFi is everywhere and many of us use it every day to access the Internet with our smartphones, tablets and computers. The Internet has become such an important part of our daily lives that we have come to expect access everywhere we go. As time goes on, it will become an even bigger part of our lives as it integrates into more of our home devices and also into the cars we drive. In this article I hope to provide information in simple terms that will help you to better understand the basics and future of the technology so that you can be in a better position to exploit its benefits going forward. When we talk about WiFi, we can be referring to the wireless in your own home or to the cellular wireless all around us all, almost everywhere we go. In your home, it is your router that generates the wireless signal you connect to for your Internet access. Your router is either connected to the equipment installed by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or completely integrated into their equipment. Most modern routers are capable of generating wireless signals on two frequencies. One is 2.4GHz, which has been the standard for many years. If you have what’s called a ‘dual band’ router, you will also have the option of generating a 5GHz signal as well. The 5GHz band is faster but has a lesser (250)955-0816 johnseymour@Lakesidetech.ca range and can only be acwww.lakesidetech.ca cessed with newer devices

What’s the buzz in the North Shuswap for February? It’s the North Shuswap Winter Festival of course! You’ve probably seen reference to it a number of times in this month’s Kicker. The Chamber of Commerce along with the North Shuswap Community Association, the Lions Club and many, many other local groups have been enthusiastically planning events all along the North Shore during the Saturday and Sunday of the Family Day long weekend. The NS Community Hall and grounds will be hosting events on both days. On Saturday, February 16th, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, there will be a ‘Coffee Can Curling Tournament’. This tournament is all about having fun. Coffee Can Curling traces its origin back to the early days of curling, using rocks that have been made from concrete formed in coffee cans. Last year, I had the opportunity to throw a few rocks on the rink at the Hall. It wasn’t difficult and was a ton of fun, especially since there was no sweeping involved. You don’t need any curling experience to sign up. Anyone can play, that’s why it’s a fun tournament. Just reach out to Lindy Baird Lindy.Baird@td.com (250) 574-5035 to enter your team. Last year Glenn Hobbs and his group of volunteers built a beautiful rink on the upper parking lot at the same location which the Farmer’s Market uses in the summer time. Well they are hard at it again this year. There were a number of lessons learned from last year. Like, the parking lot has a tilt and water easily
ran off the rink. It’s difficult to make ice if the water doesn’t stay in place. This year sand was brought in to level the parking lot surface. Bonus, this sand will be available for sandbagging in the Spring. Getting water to flood the rink was problematic. This year, volunteers installed a supply line from the Hall making flooding much easier. Everything needed to make another great rink… well almost. The one thing we haven’t had any control over has been cold and snow. They’re the essentials to a great rink. Fingers crossed for better ice making conditions. The alternate location for the Coffee Can Curling Tournament will be Farrell’s Field, and this will be tournament day decision. The closing event for the Winter Festival will be at the Hall, where your community association will host a Family Dance on Sunday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. This will be a wonderful way to wrap up the weekend festivities. Music will be provided by DJ Jodi Evans! Doors to the hall open at 4:00 pm and if you have younger children, Michelle Cyr and helpers will be doing face painting. The Hall will have an open snack concession during the dance, however since this is a family friendly free event for all ages, alcohol will not be served. We are looking forward to a great turnout. There’s always something happening at the Hall. Check-out our website and event calendar at www.northshuswapcommunityhall.ca.

Letters to the Editor Re: Nearly 6 in 10 Canadians polled call lack of new pipeline capacity a 'crisis' The poll results are due to the continuous, misleading pro-pipeline publicity from the Alberta government and the oil industry. Many economists and journalists have explained how it is a myth that increasing the export of low-value bitumen will raise the price. If this were true, the diluted bitumen that currently flows in the existing pipeline would be exported now to Asia instead of to the United States. The age of oil is waning, as the price and efficiency of electric vehicles continues to improve. A good example is the decision of GM to end production of many gasoline vehicles as it plans to produces more electric vehicles. The reason Alberta wants to increase pipeline capacity is so it can continue to expand bitumen production, which would add yet more carbon to the atmosphere and increase global
warming, as well as further exacerbate air, water and soil pollution in Northern Alberta. Bitumen can now be made into pellets that can be transported safely and its best use would be for paving roads. As scientists continue to insist, Canada and the entire world need to phase out oil, gas, and coal production and focus on alternative energy sources in order to mitigate climate change before it is too late. Canadians need to pay more attention to the real climate crisis as evidenced by the rapid increase of storms, wildfires, heat waves, ocean acidification and other harmful impacts rather than be swayed by pro-pipeline propaganda.

North Shuswap residents raise awareness, challenge stigma of dementia Ben Rawluk, Communications Coordinator, Alzheimer Society of B.C. Passionate voices come together in North Shuswap to challenge attitudes and stop stigma and say, “Yes. I live with dementia. Let me help you understand.” “Talk to people on the dementia journey and learn about their challenges,” says Maxine Albertson, when asked what people can do to challenge the stigma associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Maxine’s husband Phil was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016. Change is one constant of the disease. While he’s always valued his technical skills – rebuilding his own vehicles and overseeing home renovations going back to 1979 – Phil has had to accept that he can’t do everything he used to be able to do. However, the accomplished musician is still able to enjoy singing and playing the guitar. Phil has found that music has helped him in his experience of the journey. There is more to Phil than his disease, and he has lots of life left to live. That’s the premise of the Alzheimer Society’s continuing nationwide campaign: Yes. I live with dementia. Let me help you understand. While there is no question that dementia is a challenging disease, it’s just one aspect of a person’s life story. The campaign kicked into high gear during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month (January). It showcases the unique and diverse stories of individuals living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia across Canada. The aim of the cam-
paign is to change attitudes toward the disease and erase the stigma. Life continues after a diagnosis of dementia. “We’re turning the conversation over to the experts,” says Tara Hildebrand, Support and Education Coordinator at the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Central Interior Resource Centre, which serves the North Shuswap. “We believe sharing the stories of Canadians living with dementia will fuel a more open, supportive and inclusive dialogue about dementia and give confidence to others who have this disease to live their best lives.” Research shows that stigma associated with dementia is rampant. In a survey commissioned by the Alzheimer Society last year, one in five Canadians said they would feel ashamed or embarrassed if they had dementia while one in five admitted to using derogatory or stigmatizing language about dementia. In addition to helping Canadians better understand dementia, Alzheimer’s Awareness Month provides a platform for people like Phil and Maxine to define who they are as individuals, rather than being defined by the impact of the disease. Throughout the remainder of the year, North Shuswap residents are invited to visit the campaign’s dedicated website to learn more about the people getting on with their life in spite of dementia, get tips on how to help end stigma, test their own attitudes towards the disease and download other useful resources. To learn more about the campaign and get involved, visit ilivewithdementia.ca.

Christmas Bird Count Up By Claudette Carlsen We had good weather for our Christmas Bird Count and 11 people showed up to count as well as the Salmon Arm Club, who went to White Lake and surrounding area to help us. Our species count was down a bit - 54 species but the individual count was up - 3163 individual birds (last year 1568). Perhaps having open water was a reason. The highlight of the day was the large number of robins and varied thrushes. There were 229 robins and 132 thrushes which is very unusual for a winter count. Also, there were a larger amount of Canada Geese – 179 – as opposed to 121 last year. The Pine Grosbeak count was down
from 64 last year to only 2 this year – other than that the count was similar to last year. On January 13, 2019 we counted swans and eagles on the lake from St. Ives to Sorrento and got only four swans at Sorrento and three Eagles. Of interest was the count from Kamloops to Chase on the Thompson River. The swan count was 246 and the eagle count was 57. The swan count was a little down from last year’s 300 but I think that open water is probably keeping them up country. I have been in Agassis during the winter and the fields there were a sea of white impressive to see. Thanks to the counters and to the people who let me come to their bird feeders on my route. ®

School News By Jan Penner As this issue comes out, we have finished our Ski/ Skate programs for another year. It was great to see the students who participated having such a great time developing and honing what can be life-long skills. Our hope is to encourage active healthy lifestyles while providing unique opportunities for our students. A huge thanks to our PAC for their monetary contributions, especially for covering the bussing costs to Silver Star and Chase. Our new area trustee, Mr. Marty Gibbons, came for a visit in mid-January. He popped into classes and spent some time with our PAC before heading to Salmon Arm to join fellow trustees at the North Okanagan Shuswap Teacher’s Association meeting. It was nice to have the opportunity to meet Mr. Gibbons and to introduce him to our school. February 15 is a Professional Development Day, and together with Family Day on February 18, means students have a 4-day weekend. If our weather shifts into seasonal by then, we may be able to spend family time outdoors indulging in some kind of snow sport. If not, then the important thing will simply be spending time together with
those we love and support. Pink Shirt Day falls on February 27th this year. Wear pink and show your support for anti-bullying. Bullying happens to children and adults alike. Be aware and help stop bullying behaviours, which can cause so much angst and pain, both physical and mental. Be the solution, not the cause! Our hundredth day of school falls on February 12 this year. Such amazing things happen for our students in such a short time! Division 5 will be celebrating the day with activities focused on doing things 100 times, counting to 100, and sharing our 100 Day projects. The last day of school before Spring Break is March 15th. Please be aware of children in playgrounds and park areas during the vacation. The first day back is April 1st – no joke! Lots of drivers are slowing down for the school zone, but many still are not. A Big Thanks to those of you who have been stopping to ensure classes crossing to the beach access can do so safely. We appreciate your courtesy and care! Our bus drivers do their best to ensure they keep traffic flowing. Please remember to observe their lights – Yellow is caution and Red is STOP!
We have great prices on Carrier Central Air Ducted Systems, Ductless Split Systems and more!

DID YOU KNOW …. When you catch sight of your beloved and your heart starts racing, that's because of an adrenaline rush, Here's how it works: The brain sends signals to the adrenal gland, which secretes hormones such as adrenaline, epinephrine and norepinephrine. They flow through the blood and cause the heart to beat faster and stronger. Brain imaging of people who said they were "madly in love" found activity in the area of the brain that produces the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine and norepinephrine are closely related. Dopamine gives you that focused attention, the craving, the euphoria, the energy and the motivation, in this case the motivation to win life's greatest prize.

OBITUARIES
Kalynchuk , John William May 28th, 1933 - December 13th, 2018
Miss me, but let me go. When I come to the end of the day, And the sun has set for me, I want no rights in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love we once shared Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It is all part of the makers plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deedsMiss me, but let me go. John passed away December 13th, at the age of 85 years old. He is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Maureen, and his two sons, Evan (Maya), and Graem (Amy). And his three grandchildren Sadie, Madelin and Deakin. Predeceased by his oldest son Aaron. A memorial service will be held in the spring of 2019, as he is to be laid to rest at the Celista Cemetery, in the North Shuswap where he called home. Always a jovial man, with a funny and caring heart. He will be sadly missed, by all who knew him.

Bawtree, Alfred (Alf) Harold The family of Alf Bawtree regret to announce his passing on the 21st of December 2018. Born on June 14th, 1930, to Harold and Caroline Bawtree of Ashton Creek BC, Alf was the youngest of six children Phyllis May (Cec), Edith Bawtree, Leonard Bawtree (Ruth), Jean Cleator (Bob), Noelle Bieber (Clarence). He grew up working on the family’s mixed dairy farm and in the bush cutting poles and ties with family and neighbours. After completing high school he attended UBC where he received a BSA (Animal Husbandry) in 1952 which led to a career and lifelong passion for grasslands and range management. He was well respected as a rangeland specialist receiving several recognition awards for his efforts. He remained involved in both professional and non-professional associations promoting education in the field, particularly in natural resource science. Alf moved to Kamloops where he met Kathleen (Kay) Mary Sutherland and they were married in 1960. Alf and Kay raised 2 sons Hugh and Bruce. Alf was always active and encouraged and helped his sons and others to play soccer and hockey. Alf and Kay were also very involved in the Kamloops Outdoor Club and the Naturalists Club and were recognized for their knowledge of wild plants. Later Alf joined the Vintage Car Club after the purchase of a 1932 Rockne. After retiring in 1988, they moved to Magna Bay in about 1991, onto a property they had purchased earlier. Alf and Kay were always community minded and were involved with many groups including St. David’s Church and the Lakeview Community Centre. Alf was predeceased by Kay in 2014. He is survived by his sister Jean Cleator, sister-in-law Ruth Bawtree, sons Hugh Bawtree (Kathie Aitken), Bruce Bawtree, grandchildren Morgan Bawtree, Janell Bawtree, Kirsten Bawtree, and many nieces and nephews. A service is tentatively planned for March 23rd.
