Good Times Rolling at Celista By Jo Anne Malpass There’s a fun new activity available on the North Shuswap, let the good times roll. Zorboratic is now open at Celista. Dale, Corinne and Zahyna Lewis of Celista Adventures Ltd. have built a zorbing track on a gentle grassy slope behind Sun Beach, on Evans Road. Zorbing is the sport of rolling downhill inside a giant transparent inflated plastic orb. Up to three riders at a time can get in the big plastic ball. The orbs have about 18 inches of air between the outer and inner balls. The inner ball where the riders sit is filled with about 15 gallons of water to give extra weight to the ball for speed and to reduce friction inside. Dale Lewis compares the experience to a waterslide, you slide around freely while the inflatable ball rolls downhill. The rider does not flip over, is always at the bottom of the ball.

Dale and Corinne’s daughter, Zahyna, went to New Zealand where the sport originated, and came back home excited about the prospect of having it in Celista. “We need to build one of these,” she said and Dale and Corinne agreed it would be a great addition to the North Shuswap. They went to New Zealand themselves over the winter to look at a couple of zorbing sites to learn more about how the courses are designed and to figure out how they were going to do it. “Growing up here and living here, we just wanted to make the place a little more fun” said Dale, “everybody in it is just laughing and giggling the whole way down.” Riders must be over 42” tall and riders under 10 years old need to be accompanied by an adult. A video of their test run can be seen at Zorboratic on Instagram. For more information, call 250 955-0705.

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER
...Kick-Back!! By Editor Jo Anne Malpass There is little doubt that Canada is one of the best places to live in the world. With our quality of life, openminded population, economic prosperity, public healthcare, clean and beautiful landscapes, we know it’s a wonderful place to be, but a surprising number of inventions originated in Canada. In honour of Canada’s 150th anniversary of confederation, here are just a few of the contributions Canada has made to the world. Insulin - Before the discovery of insulin by Canadian doctors Frederick Banting, Charles Best and John James Rickard Macleod, diabetes was a feared, almost certainly deadly disease. Banting proved that the pancreas was responsible for secreting insulin to aid in digestion and in 1922 the first human subject, a 14-year-old boy named Leonard Thompson was given a new lease on life. Telephone - A Canadian born in Scotland, Alexander Graham Bell immigrated to Canada as a child. He invented the telephone, one of the great innovations of the modern age, which made instantaneous, real-time communication around the world possible. Light bulb - Most people credit Thomas Edison with the creation of the modern light bulb, but he merely perfected what Henry Woodward, a medical student from Toronto first created. In 1874, Woodward patented the first incandescent lamp with an electric light bulb. After successfully testing the device, he sold his share in the patent to Thomas Edison. Standard Time - Originally from Scotland, Sanford Fleming immigrated to Ontario at 18. He became a railroad
engineer and after missing a train in 1876 in Ireland, Fleming came up with the idea of a 24-hour clock for the entire world to follow. He suggested time zones be implemented locally, but insisted that every country adopt his new system. By 1929 most countries had adopted the world clock and the standard time that we know today. The Canadarm was developed in 1981 by Canadian industry, under the direction of the National Research Council of Canada. The Canadarm has proven itself to be an invaluable tool used to do everything from launching satellites to building the International Space Station. This led to development of Canadarm2, a bigger and smarter version. In 2008, the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (Dextre) was added to the space station. Dextre has two arms that are over three metres long, each with seven joints that allow movement in all directions. Canada was the third country to launch a satellite into space after the USSR and the United States, with the 1962 Alouette 1 launch. Science & Technology - The modern Walkie Talkie, originally called a packset was created by Donald L. Hings, a British Columbian, in 1937. IMAX - The large format cinema camera system called IMAX was created by Canadians. Montreal’s Léo-Ernest Ouimet opened the world's first cinema in 1906 on Ste-Catherine Street. Not only that, but, in 1957, Ottawa entrepreneur Nat Taylor expanded on the idea by adding a second screen to his movie house, giving birth to the multiplex. Canadians invented the highresolution electron microscope, porta(Continued on page 4)

ble explosives vapour detectors that sniffs out hidden bombs, JAVA Programming Language, The BlackBerry, Key Frame Animation invented in the 1970s earned the Canadian inventors an Academy Award in 1997, the 56k modem and the pager. Medical - The cardiac pacemaker was invented by John Hopps in 1951. By 1965, the mechanism had been refined by other Canadian scientists and emerged as the first biological pacemaker. In 1961, Ontario scientists Dr. James Till and Dr. Ernest McCulloch made history by showing the world that they could transplant stem cells with potentially miraculous effects. The world's first electric wheelchair in response to the needs of paraplegic and quadriplegic veterans returning home from the Second World War, Prosthetic hand and Cobalt 60 “Bomb” Cancer Treatment destroyed cancer cells with radiation in a fast, cheap, and powerful way. Ontario’s chief pathologist Dr. Frances McGill created the field of forensic pathology in the 1920s and her forensic evidence became an integral part of the criminal justice system. In Sports, there’s Basketball - In 1891, a Canadian gym teacher wrote down 13 rules for a game he would play with his students. Dr. James Naismith, ever the modest Canadian, declined to call the sport Naismith Ball and the sport eventually became modern Basketball. Lacrosse originated with our First Peoples. It used to be played with a hair-stuffed deerskin ball known as baggataway―meant to settle feuds among warriors. It was codified by William George Beers around 1860. Ice hockey was invented in 19th Century Canada, the goalie mask was invented by Jacques Plante in 1959, five pin bowling in 1909, the instant replay was invented for CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada in 1955. Birch bark canoe - The only canoe in the world made of birch bark. This vessel was invented in Cana-
da―and its ingenious design has stayed afloat for centuries. Food - Peanut Butter - A Montreal pharmacist named Marcellus Gilmore Edson patented Peanut Butter in 1884. He wanted to create a nutty food paste for people who couldn’t chew. Other food items originating in Canada include Canola oil, McIntosh Red apple, maple syrup, Red Rose tea, Timbits, instant mashed potatoes, Pablum, Canada Dry Ginger Ale, poutine, the Caesar (cocktail) was introduced in Calgary in 1969, Montreal smoked beef, Canadian back bacon, Nanaimo Bar, tortiere, Yukon Gold potato and butter tarts. The Ganong chocolate company, came up with the first chocolate bar, wrapping some chocolate pieces in cellophane to prevent them from melting. Egg cartons - In 1911, a dispute between a hotel owner and a farmer about how many eggs arrived broken, led Joseph Coyle of Smithers, BC to create a cardboard egg carton. The machine he created is on display at the Royal BC Museum. Everything Else - Plexiglas was made practical by a graduate student at McGill University in 1931. The snowmobile was invented by Joseph-Armand Bombardier in 1937. The snow blower was invented by Arthur Sicard in 1927. Other inventions include the rotary snowplough for railroads, AM Radio, Easy-Off Oven Cleaner, the modern Wonderbra, alkaline battery, the electric oven, the foghorn, Sonar, the garbage bag, the paint roller, the Robertson screw, Caulking Gun, Electronic Music Synthesizer, electric car heater, Hudson’s Bay blanket, The Jolly Jumper and Computerized Braille. In 1930, an Ontario government worker came up with the idea of a white line down the centre of the highway to discourage cars from bumping into each other. Although Canadians didn’t profit from most of their inventions, they have made a real difference in the lives of people across the world. Happy 150th Anniversary, Canada.

Noise Bylaw The Board supported a communications plan for Noise Bylaw No. 5754 to inform the public about the proposed bylaw by developing a Frequently Asked Questions Fact Sheet, with the information to be posted on the CSRD website, social media and available at the CSRD office, prior to considering second reading of the bylaw. Director Morgan said second reading for the bylaw will be scheduled for later in the summer or in early fall. Permission Only Moorage The board received a response to its letter requesting Shuswap and Mara lakes be designated as application-only areas for private moorage. The recent amendments to the Private Moorage Policy provide regional operations of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations with the authority to establish application-only areas (i.e. areas where general permissions will not be eligible) based on a consideration of local or regional issues. 2016 Statement of Financial Information (SOFI) Report The Board approved the 2016 Statement of Financial Information Report as required by the Local Government Act. The report which shows $249,275 in remuneration and $84,969 in expenses paid to elected officials, $,713,122 in remuneration and $128,350 in expenses paid to employees and $19,309,309 for goods and services, is available on the CSRD website. Columbia Shuswap Film Commission Contract The Board empowered the authorized signatories to enter into a sole source contract with David Barritt to implement projects as outlined in the 2017 work plan for the Columbia Shuswap Regional Film Commission. Due to the specialized skills required to implement the CSFC film commission work, staff will not be issuing a Re-
quest for Proposal in relation to this project. The mandate of the Columbia Shuswap Film Commission is to promote film and television production activity, in collaboration with Creative BC, Standing Seam Metal Roofing within the geographic boundaries of Prolock Metal Roofing the City of Revelstoke, the City of Salmon Arm, the District of Sicamous, Metal Wall Cladding and CSRD Electoral Areas B, C, D, E, Torch-On Flat Roof Systems and F, to the domestic and international Custom Flashing film production industry.

Official Community Plan Amendment -(Isley) Bylaw No. 830-18, Magna Bay Zoning Amendment (Isley) Bylaw No. 800-30 - The applicant has applied to re-designate and rezone the subject properties, 6929 Squilax-Anglemont Road and 2556 McClaskey Road, to allow a subdivision of the land, and to permit the use of proposed Lot 1 to be changed to construct a "Toy Storage" facility as well as to allow outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats and trailers. Proposed Lot 2 would be rezoned to IG Industrial Gravel Processing to allow an expansion of the existing gravel extraction operation. Magna Bay Zoning Bylaw No. 800 currently has no zone where “Toy Storage” facility is permitted and no adequate definition for the permitted use. To accomplish this, staff are proposing a new CDF 2 Comprehensive Development 2 zone. The Board read both bylaws a first time and referred them out to various agencies and First Nations for comments. Areas C, E and F: Floodplain Management, Intersection Sightlines, and Panhandle lots (CSRD Zoning Bylaws) Amendments are proposed to the floodplain management provisions of Anglemont Zoning Bylaw No. 650, Magna Bay Zoning Bylaw No. 800, Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Zoning Bylaw No. 825, Rural Sicamous Land Use Bylaw No. 2000, and South Shuswap Zoning Bylaw No. 701. The proposed amendments would change the location of measurement for floodplain setbacks in Bylaw No. 650, 800, 825 and 2000 from the natural boundary of Shuswap Lake to the 348.3 m GSC datum and edit the list of exemptions for structures that are not required to meet the flood(Continued on page 7)

plain setback and flood construction level in all the bylaws so that the regulations are consistent for all areas. General housekeeping amendments are also proposed for the floodplain management sections of these bylaws. Amendments are also proposed for all the bylaws to include regulations for intersection sightlines and subdivision of panhandle lots. The Board gave second reading to all five bylaws and delegated the holding of the necessary public hearing (s). There will be one public hearing in Salmon Arm for Areas C and E and a second one, at the request of Director Morgan, in Area F. Area F Parks Capital projects for Ar-

Mischief, Thefts and Stolen Property On June 9, Chase RCMP received a report of two red ATVs hidden in a green space on Harrison Road in Pritchard. According to the caller, the ATVs had been there for about two weeks. Police attended the location and confirmed that the machines had been reported stolen in 2016. On June 14, Chase RCMP responded to a call of an abandoned Ford Ranger at Adams Lake Estates. A check of the vehicle identification number confirmed that it had been stolen from a residence in Kamloops on June 6. There was a key in the ignition, and the interior was not suitable for forensic identification. The registered owner was notified, and he retrieved his truck. There were no witnesses to this incident. On June 15, Chase RCMP responded to a report of a stolen Hyundai Elantra (BC plate: 528XCR) from the 8700 block of Holding Road in Adams Lake. The theft happened at some point during the night, and the owner had left her purse containing the vehicle keys in the car. On June 15, Chase RCMP received a report of theft from vehicle in the 8700 block of Holding Road. The complainant stated that someone had rummaged through his pick-up truck and stole a small amount of change. On June 15, Chase RCMP received a report of theft from vehicle in the 8700 block of Holding Road. The complainant stated that someone had entered her unlocked vehicle and stole two small cases containing darts. On June 15, Chase RCMP received a report of theft of a handicap sign and change
from a vehicle in the 8700 block of 250-679-3221 Holding CRIMESTOPPERS Road. This 1-800-222-8477 file is linked to the stolen Hyundai and two other incidents, which all occurred in the same neighbourhood that night. On June 19, Chase RCMP attended an attempted breakand-enter at a seasonal residence in the 4200 block of Squilax-Anglemont Road in Scotch Creek. The owner found that someone had attempted to pry open the front door, as well as a sliding patio door. Entry was not gained into the house. Chase RCMP reminds all homeowners to ensure their properties are well-secured when they are not at their seasonal homes. Alarms and high-resolution video surveillance are effective and should be considered as part of a multi-layered security plan. Anyone with knowledge of any of these incidents or thefts is requested to call Chase RCMP (250-769-3221) or Crimestoppers. Vehicles and Driving On June 9, Chase RCMP responded to a call of a Ford pick-up truck speeding through the Hillside Trailer Park. The truck was parked upon police arrival, and the occupants were being spoken to by area residents. The driver, a 23 year old man, exhibited signs of impairment by alcohol, and an impaired driving investigation was initiated. The driver failed the roadside breath test, and was issued a 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP). The vehicle was impounded for 30 days. The driver and passenger were transported back to their camping location (Continued on page 11)
JULY 2017 (Continued from page 10)
by the officer. On June 10, Chase RCMP responded to a call of a driver passed out in his vehicle on Kamloops-Shuswap Road west of Pritchard. BC Ambulance had also been called to the scene, and paramedics were tending to the driver. The driver, a 24 year old man, displayed signs of impairment and a roadside breath demand was made. The driver failed the test and was issued a 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. On June 17, Chase RCMP responded to a call for a twovehicle collision on Hwy 1, east of Hoffman’s Bluff. The driver of a grey Honda had pulled over to the right, and then suddenly made a U-turn in front of a white Honda that had been following the grey car. The driver of the white Honda swerved into the oncoming lane to avoid a collision, however, the grey Honda continued its U-turn and hit the passenger side of the white Honda. The female driver of the grey Honda was issued a violation ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act. The collision occurred at a relatively low speed and there were no injuries among the drivers and their passengers. Firearms & Drugs On June 13 at about 3 am, Chase RCMP received a complaint of a Ford SUV with Alberta plates that had driven through a local RV park, and collided with a parked vehicle. Upon arrival, the officers found the car’s engine running, with a male sitting in the driver’s seat, and a woman sleeping in the back seat. During the course of the investigation, the officers discovered a loaded handgun on the driver’s side floor area. The man was ordered out of the vehicle and placed under arrest. A further search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of illicit drugs. As a result of the investigation, Geoffrey Launce Clouter, age 51, of Cherryville, BC, has been charged with four firearm-related offenses under the Criminal Code and one drug-related offense under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Community Activities On June 8, Chase RCMP officers were pleased to be invited to participate in the Chase Bicycle Rodeo, held at Haldane Elementary School. The rodeo, organized by the Chase Citizens on Patrol with the participation of ICBC, saw about 90 children take part. The course consisted of numerous stations, at which each rider had to demonstrate awareness, use of hand signals, agility in riding over and around obstacles, as well as maintaining control over the bicycle at very low speeds. The elementary school children learned new skills and how to signal their intentions to other drivers. All participants had a lot of fun, and learned about riding their bikes safely.

Scotch Creek I received the following email in response last month’s article on garbage pick up and with the author’s permission, I am sharing an excerpt of the message. Mr. Cunliffe, It was wonderful that so many volunteered their time to pick garbage on the roadside. However, having been in Scotch Creek for close to 20 years, I am amazed that in all that time there has not been any improvement with “Beautifying” our community.

lectibles for sale. We had 5 food trucks operating in Scotch Creek over the May long weekend. This is a sign that some vitality is returning to our community. The Health Centre Society has also done an amazing job with the clinic. This is a group of volunteers who are dedicated to the quality of life in the North Shuswap. Another group who makes a difference are the organizers of the Friday Nights Live concerts that bring music and culture to the North Shuswap with a festival atmosphere every Friday night throughout the summer. The Shuswap Lake Provincial Park remains as the biggest draw for tourists in Scotch Creek. It is an incredible asset and to their credit, Parks are expanding the number of camping spaces so more people can enjoy the park and Scotch Creek. The Chamber is part of a larger community working hard to make Scotch Creek a

better place to live and do business. We support the CSRD’s plan to apply for a grant for a community water system in Scotch Creek. This is essential to allow Scotch Creek to grow and to address deteriorating groundwater quality for existing residents. With more people, our businesses become more viable and hopefully we can see more of the closed businesses start to reopen. We are working directly with the CSRD on streamlining and simplifying the permitting and approval system to make the North Shuswap a more attractive place to come to. The Chamber is not prepared to give up on Scotch Creek and the litter pickup, while admittedly a small part of the aesthetic problem, is something positive we can do to set an example, build community spirit, and give back to the community. Thanks again to the Lions and the North Shuswap Christian Fellowship and all the volunteers for joining in again this year.
Interpretive Walks at Roderick Haig-Brown Park Submitted by Adams River Salmon Society You are invited to join the Adams River Salmon Society for their Environmental Interpretive Walk-abouts, on Wednesdays from 11 am to 2:30 pm during July, August and September, leading up to the 2017 Return of the Spawning Salmon season. These environmental education programs are presented through the non profit Adams River Salmon Society volunteers and Partners. The programs are free but we do
ask for a small donation to the Adams River Salmon Society to help offset supplies and materials costs. Please remember we will be outdoors for these walks so please remember to bring water, wear a hat, have good walking shoes or hiking boots and a small snack for yourself. Sunglasses really do help in the sunny weather, so you may want to bring a pair. The tours will start at the Interpretive Log Cabin at Roderick Haig-Brown Park.

Building permits will be needed in most cases, including those which involve the construction of a house, townhouse, commercial and industrial building, construction of accessory buildings, including any structure (e.g., garage) that is larger than 10m2, unless otherwise exempted, demolition of a building, significant alteration to or repair of an existing building (e.g., structural changes, moving of plumbing systems), changes to the use or occupancy of an existing building (e.g., from a garage to a dwelling, or from a residence to a commercial use), relocation of a building, alterations that affect a venting or sewerage system and installation of a factory-built or manufactured building. Building Inspectors will conduct a total of six on-site building inspections at key points of the construction process, including at the: 1. footing construction stage (before concrete) 2. installation of perimeter drainage pipe and drain rock (prior to backfilling) 3. installation of building drain, sanitary or storm sewer and plumbing system (prior to backfilling) 4. framing construction stage (before drywall) 5. insulation, vapour barrier and air barrier stage 6. completion of the project At any time in the permit process, building inspectors will be authorized to enter onto properties to ensure compliance with regulations, require owners to uncover or correct an item, request further testing to ensure compliance, issue stop work notices or revoke permits. Once a building permit is issued, construction will need to begin within six months from the date of issuance. Construction cannot be discontinued or suspended for a period of more than six months, and must be complete within a period of three years. If these (Continued on page 17)

conditions are not met, the permit will expire. WHAT WILL THE SERVICE COST AND WHO WILL PAY? The new building inspection service is expected to cost about $370,000 in its first year of operation (2018). More than half of that cost – close to $200,000 – will be recovered through building permit fees, with the remainder being raised through property taxes on all properties (land and buildings) within Areas B, E, and F. The proposed new service includes an additional building inspector and a plan checker to share the increased workload. BUILDING FEES The fees for the building and plumbing permits will be consistent with those in place today under the existing Area F inspection service, with adjustments to reflect the additional three inspections proposed for the service. Three types of fees are payable for each application: An application fee of $72
for a single-family dwelling, and $288 for multi-family, commercial, institutional or industrial buildings. The permit fee is a flat fee of $648, plus: $72 for first $1,000 of construction value, $7.20 for each additional $1,000 of value, up to $100,000, $6.00 for each additional $1,000 of value over $100,000. Special permit fees for specific items such as demolitions, moving a building, a change of occupancy and other cases. After the community engagement process, the CSRD will prepare a service establishment bylaw and ask the Electoral Area Directors for Areas B, E and F to give consent to the bylaw on behalf of their electors. A referendum on the establishing bylaw is not required because building inspection is a regulatory service with broad health, safety, environmental and economic benefits that promote the public interest. Following Director assent, the Province’s Inspector of Municipalities will be asked to give formal approval.

Have Fun, but be safe on the water Shuswap Watershed Council It’s summer in the Shuswap! It’s a time for relaxation, enjoying the lake views, boating, floating, and swimming. The Shuswap Watershed Council (SWC) is reminding everyone on the lakes and rivers this summer to play it safe, and be prepared for every outing on the water. “The number one safety priority is to be wearing a lifejacket or PFD every time you go on the water,” says Erin Vieira, program manager for the SWC, a watershed-based organization that enhances water quality and safe recreation. “At the start of the summer season, children’s lifejackets should be checked for proper fit. If they’ve outgrown their lifejacket, it’s not going do its job.” Beach-goers and boaters who don’t have a lifejacket for a child can borrow one free-of-charge from a ‘PFD Loaner Station’, provided by the Royal Canadi-
an Marine Search and Rescue, Station 106 Shuswap. There are 12 loaner stations located around the lakes, including at Sicamous, Salmon Arm, Canoe, Sunnybrae/Tappen, Blind Bay, Sorrento, Scotch Creek and Magna Bay. They operate on the honour system, and there’s no charge to borrow one for a day. Recreationists are also urged to be cautious around cold water. “People may not realize how cold deep and fastflowing water can be, especially early in the season. It can disable a person from re-surfacing.” Boaters ought to go over their predeparture checklists and brush up on the procedure for calling for help. “The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue has developed a Safe Boating App. It has checklists, VHF radio frequencies, and other useful tools for boaters. It’s free to download and a must-have for folks heading out on a lake cruise.”

Scotch Creek/Lee Creek By Chief Mike Engholm Well summer has arrived, and I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Canada Day. Now that the weather has started to get warmer, it will start to get drier. This means we will have an increased fire danger rating. Right now, we are at moderate, but with no rain, even for a short time, that rating will increase rapidly. At present to October 15, there is a ban on open burning category 2 and 3. Campfires are still allowed, but no larger than 0.5 M. If you decide to make a campfire, have water ready close by with a shovel just in case your campfire escapes the fire pit. When done with your campfire enjoyment, please completely extinguish with water and use the shovel to stir up the coals and water. If we move into hot and dry weather, please observe and obey any campfire bans imposed by the Ministry of Forests. The fine for disobeying a campfire ban during the imposed restriction is $1,150.00 per person that is adjacent to the fire. To report a wildfire the number is: *5555 on a cell phone. Now that the flooding threat is over and the lake level is dropping, we are moving into the dreaded fire season. If that large scale wind event we had a short time ago happens again, but at the height of fire season (mid -August) with no rain for weeks, it would pose a very serious and challenging problem. In all the written studies done on this type of problem, fuel mitigation is the best way to reduce the
wildfire intensity, rate of fire spread, and reduce the impact to our community. I have been encouraging property owners to do their part to FireSmart their properties so we can do our jobs more effectively. To get more information on this subject, or to have a wildfire risk assessment done on your property, please call 250-517-0098. Since the last Fire News, SC/LC FD was only called out once for a burning complaint. I would like to remind the public that it is illegal to burn garbage, plastics or any treated or painted wood. The spring training at the Shuswap Regional Fire Training Centre is now finished until the fall, when it will start up again with a new list of courses. SC/LC FD sent one firefighter to Fire Officer Orientation course and two firefighters to a Hazmat Awareness course. Our focus for in house training has been working on pump operations and locating drafting sites for our suppression area. I have also been instructing CSRD fire dept. members on the use of the CSRD’s Structure Protection Unit, used during wildfire season. This unit is a great compliment to assist in protecting structures in the path of a wildfire. If you would like to see any of our equipment, meet the firefighters, or observe our training, stop by on Tuesday nights 7:00 to 9:00 pm, or call 250-517-0098. Anglemont By Mike Sanderson On behalf of the Anglemont Fire department, I would like to thank the Ross Creek Store and Campground

for letting us have our Canada Day 150th celebration there. The event runs from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm on July 1 with activities for children, live fire demonstrations, displays by North Shuswap First Responders and Shuswap Emergency Program, burgers and hot dogs by donation, draws and prizes. A very special thanks to the numerous volunteers helping with the celebration as well. AFD has recently acquired a brandnew sign in front of the fire hall on Golf Course Road. On the bottom of the sign is the fire danger rating, which is very important to be aware of as we enter a hot dry season.
As always, training is ongoing and we've recently sent members to the Shuswap Regional Fire Training Centre for Hazmat Awareness and Pumps and Pumping. AFD responded to another power pole fire as well as an unattended burn complaint. If joining the fire department interests you, we practice every Tuesday evening from 7 to 9 pm, and new members are always welcome. •

Adams Lake Chief Removed By Jo Anne Malpass On May 5, the Adams Lake Indian Band Community Panel received a petition submitted by Nelson Fredrick Leon for the removal of Paul Fergus Michel as Chief of the Adams Lake Band. According to documents posted on their website, the Panel investigated and removed Michel, effective June 4, “for the breach of his ‘Oath of Office’ (five violations).” Michel, who was elected in December 2016, has made an application to federal court, seeking an interlocutory injunction declaring his removal to be null and void and restoring him to his position as Chief and to expedite the hearing of a judicial review. Madam Justice Cecily Strickland has granted the injunction, citing concern about “the impact on the community arising from a potential byelection prior to the resolution of the application for judicial review and the further expense and disarray this will entail.” Band Election Rules state that in the event the office of Chief becomes vacant, a by-election shall be held within 60 days, which would be by August 3. The application for judicial review will be heard on an expedited basis on July 31 in Vancouver.

North Shuswap Timberdays Hosts Lumberjack Show July 2nd in Chase By Jana Hewitt That’s right, Lumberjacks and Jills are coming to Chase BC to show off their axe wielding talents as they chop their way to victory. But before we tell you what will be featured at our show, let’s talk a little bit about the history of this extreme heritage sport. As many of you already know, before the development of modern power tools and equipment, the traditional logger had to rely on brute strength, skill and hand tools to fall and harvest the trees, and after a long day in the bush, the men in the logging camps would challenge each other to see who was the best lumberjack. The traditional events of lumberjack competition today are a tribute to the heritage of our logging industry. As the years have passed the sport has developed into a much more sophisticated affair and is practiced by both Lumberjacks and Jills in many countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Austria, Germany, England, Norway, Switzerland, USA, and Canada. At our show, which will be located at the Memorial Park in Chase, our MC’s, Ben & Michelle, will be guiding you through the 11 events in our program:
Men’s Standing Block Canadian Championship • Peter Colliver Underhand Memorial Chop • Mens Double Buck • Men’s Stock Saw • Jack & Jill Sawing • Men’s Hot Saw Unlimited •
Men’s Axe Throw Standing Butcher Block • Ladies Stock Saw • Ladies Singlebuck • Ladies Axe Throw • Sponsorship Axe Throw • Boys Chop • •
There will be a concession stand provided by Chase Lions Club. Beer gardens will also be provided. Our show will start Sunday July 2nd at 11:00am. You will see local and international competitors use traditional and modern equipment as they chop and saw their way through their logs. Remember to bring a stump to sit on.

IH releases new report assessing drinking water supply as part of public awareness campaign Tara Gostelow, Communications Consultant, Interior Health Today, Interior Health released a comprehensive report regarding the state of the region’s drinking water systems that identified risks to public health, and made recommendations for improving drinking water safety. The report included all 1,454 small water systems and 133 large water systems regulated by Interior Health’s drinking water program and reviewed them over the span of 10 years (2006-2016). The report also provided comments on First Nations community water systems in the region. “Nearly half of all the water systems in B.C. are located within Interior Health,” says Dr. Trevor Corneil, VP Population Health & Chief Medical Health Officer. “As such, we take our role as regulator of both small and large systems very seriously.” The report looked at a variety of public health concerns related to drinking water, including public advisories issued as a result of elevated risk of water-borne illnesses. The report states that while public advisories can help alert the public to risks, the reliance on advisories and notifications alone to keep people safe is not enough, with significant potential risks in the long term. In some cases, overreliance on advisories and notifications has negatively impacted planning and investment for
infrastructure improvements that would have ensured the delivery of safe drinking water at all times. Among the report’s recommendations is a more collaborative engagement process with water operators and First Nations communities, to ensure sustainable improvements are made and provincial water treatment objectives are achieved by 2025. This could include upgrades to water treatment facilities, improved source protection, and the development of response plans to help protect public health during unexpected situations. “This report should be viewed as an opportunity to renew and rejuvenate conversations between drinking water officers, water supply managers, municipal leaders, and members of the community,” says Dr. Corneil, “An opportunity to ensure we are moving forward, together, towards a common goal: access to clean, safe, and reliable tap water for all people at all times.” Along with the report’s release, IH is also launching a public awareness campaign to provide information and a better understanding of drinking water systems and their challenges. This includes a web page http:// drinkingwaterforeveryone.ca/ and a series of educational videos that provide information on how the water systems work, how water is treated, and what safety issues the community should be aware of.

Buyer motivation continues to be good & inventory is lower than average
Some segments of our market are more active than others.
Of note is the buyer interest in bare land. Lot interest is up over the last weeks, but those buyers are very focused on price. Large acreages continue slow as buyers don’t want the work involved with acreage. A limited inventory of homes for sale is causing buyers to look at bare lots.
A
t the end of this year I will write another Year End Report and I expect it will be similar stats to that of my 2016 report where 50% of property for sale did not sell. The most common reason for a not sold is the property is listed at the sellers price not the Realtors price.

Author: Braden Lamoureux, CSISS Help Prevent Invasive Mussels from Entering B.C. Lakes and Waterways With summer just around the corner, and boating season already underway, here are some useful tips to prevent the spread of invasive zebra and quagga mussels to our pristine waterways. Currently, there has been no reported introduction of live zebra or quagga mussels in B.C. lakes and waterways. These mussels pose huge detrimental economic, environmental, and recreational threats to the province of B.C. The economic impact of these invasive mussels to hydropower, agricultural irrigation, municipal water supplies and recreational boating has been estimated to be $43 million per year in British Columbia.
The Provincial government operates 10 mussel inspection stations around B.C. to inspect and decontaminate infested watercraft from entering BC waters. The Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society (CSISS) will be continuing baseline early detection lake sampling in the Columbia Shuswap region for microscopic larvae form of the invasive mussels, known as ‘veligers’. CSISS will also be educating watercraft users around the region at events, boat launches and marine industry groups. All it would take is one boat, canoe or kayak with a small amount of infested water to contaminate our lakes and rivers! How can you help? As a boat or watercraft owner, be sure to stop at provincial inspection stations and “Clean, Drain, and Dry” your watercraft every time you move it to another waterbody within BC. Clean off all weeds, mud, and any encrusting material (ensure your trailer is clean too); drain all water from all parts of your watercraft onto dry land; and dry off your watercraft. All watercraft users coming into B.C. are required to stop at provincial inspection stations, where decontamination may be required for potentially infested watercraft. It is mandatory to stop at the inspections stations if you are transporting any type of watercraft, including canoes, paddleboards, fishing float-waders, or any other type of boat. It is also illegal to transport invasive mussels, dead or alive, on boats or related equipment into or within B.C. Failure to properly decontaminate mussels off boats or equipment can result in a fine of up to $100, 000. If you see a boat with clinging mussels, you can report it by calling the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) hotline at 1-877-952-7277. CSISS summer student Braden Lamoureux has first hand experience with these invasive mussels, “I grew up swimming and boating in some of Ontario’s zebra and quagga mussel (Continued on page 27)

More Work To Do But Job Numbers Confirm BC Liberal Jobs Plan Working for BC Submitted by Holly Cowan, Constituency Assistant Today's job numbers from Statistics Canada confirm that the BC Liberal Government’s Jobs Plan continues to work for British Columbians, with one of Canada’s lowest unemployment rates and continued job creation. The new numbers show that under the BC Jobs Plan, BC added over 12,000 new jobs last month alone, continues to have one of Canada’s lowest overall unemployment rates at 5.6% and Canada’s lowest youth unemployment rate at 9.7%. Under the continued stability of the BC Jobs Plan, BC added nearly 100,000 new jobs in the last year alone.
“In an uncertain global economy, I want families in the Shuswap to know that we have their backs,” said BC Liberal MLA Greg Kyllo, Parliamentary Secretary for the BC Jobs Plan, Ministry of Jobs, Tourisms and Skills Training. “While today's job numbers are promising, there is more work to do. Now more than ever we need to stick with our jobs plan, and not put BC's economy at risk with an unstable NDP-Green alliance." Last year under the BC Liberal Government's plan, the province set a new record for employment levels in 2016 with nearly 2.5 million British Columbians working, and has added a total of over 250,000 new jobs since we launched the BC Jobs Plan. Since the launch of the BC Jobs Plan, BC is first in the nation in job creation, first in the nation in youth job creation, and first in the nation in the reduction of our unemployment rate and youth unemployment rate.

Preparing for the safe disposal of sandbags after flooding BC Newsroom Please follow the directions of local governments for the proper disposal of emergency sandbags. Sand and sandbags that have been in contact with floodwaters may be exposed to contaminants, and British Columbians are encouraged to take precautions to ensure their safety and the protection of the environment. • The sandbags used in the flood response should be removed and appropriately disposed of after it is safe to do so. • It is important to wear gloves and boots to protect yourself from scrapes and potential contaminants. • Due to the potential of contamination, residents are advised to not use the sand in playgrounds, sandboxes or other areas where there might be direct human contact. • Sandbag contents should not be disposed of in lakes, rivers, wetlands, flood-
plains, parks or other environmentally sensitive or protected areas. • Sandbags used in the flood response should be disposed of according to the direction of local emergency authorities. A list of these local authorities can be found at the following link: www.gov.bc.ca/preparedbc/ floods Individuals are reminded they should always wash their hands with soap and warm water after contact with floodwaters or handling items that have come into contact with floodwaters. If an open wound comes into contact with floodwater, soil, or contaminants, immediately: • Clean it thoroughly with soap and warm water. • Apply an antibiotic ointment to reduce the risk of infection. • Apply a bandage. • Check the wound and change the bandage regularly. • See a doctor.

Public reminded to be cautious with fire use BC Newsroom The fire danger rating throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre is currently “moderate” to “high”, with pockets of “extreme” in the Lillooet Fire Zone. The Kamloops Fire Centre is urging the public to be cautious with campfire use and other outdoor activities that could cause fires. For example, heat or sparks from dirt bike and ATV exhaust systems could easily start a wildfire in tall grass. Although campfires are still permitted throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre, they may not be larger than a halfmetre wide or a half-metre high. Anyone who leaves a campfire unattended for any length of time can be fined $1,150. A poster explaining B.C.’s campfire regulations is available online at: www.gov.bc.ca/campfireregs Larger Category 2 and Category 3 open fires are currently prohibited throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre at all elevations. Other prohibited activi-
ties include the use of fireworks, sky lanterns, burning barrels or burning cages of any type, and exploding binary targets. A poster explaining the different categories of open burning is available online: openfireregs Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $1,150, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call *5555 on a cellphone or 1 800 6635555 toll-free.

Two Up Riding
Contributed by Merv Sadden Taking a passenger for a ride on a motorcycle requires much forethought and preparation. Like most things though, it gets easier with experience. For starters, your bike must be properly equipped to carry a passenger. BC law requires all passengers to be tall enough for their feet to reach designated foot pegs or floorboards. The extra weight of your passenger must also be taken into consideration. The additional weight will affect the way your bike turns, accelerates, and stops. As such, before you venture into traffic, it is wise to practice these skills in a quiet location so that both you and your passenger can learn how
your bike will handle with the extra weight. It is also your responsibility to educate your passenger about what to expect while riding. Communication is key. Motorcycles must lean to make turns so your passenger must be taught to pay careful attention while riding and to lean with you. They must also be taught to sit as still as possible while stopped or travelling at low speeds to avoid causing a loss of balance. Finally, a safe riding experience necessitates that both you and your passenger wear an approved properly fitted helmet and protective riding gear.

By Jo Anne Malpass North Shuswap’s own Jan Kudelka will be bringing Janis Joplin, an Unplugged Tour de Force, to Lakeview Centre in Anglemont on August 1. Kudelka grew up in the Newmarket, Ontario area and started her career at age 19 when she appeared in the original Canadian production of Hair at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre in 1969-70. She went on to principal roles for two seasons at the Stratford Festival, playing with Maggie Smith, Jessica Tandy and Jeremy Brett. “I also did a longterm exploration of mask and circus and rodeo and rock and roll, kind of epic boomer stuff.” She travelled with the circus and did a play about the experience, called Circus Gothic, which debuted in 1978 at Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto and then travelled the country with others over decades, presenting productions in schools, community theatres, and even a prison. While she was travelling through rural British Columbia for two seasons by horse-drawn caravan, then 10 more seasons, doing outdoor theatre with Caravan Farm and Stage Theatres, she met many North Shuswap residents and eventually settled

down in the Magna Bay area in 1992. Kudelka said Janis Joplin has been an ambivalent source of inspiration to her. “It's been the bane of my existence,” she laughs. “She comes to me in dreams but I really had no desire to perform her. Often compared to her, I dodged it. When I got into my 40s, she kept coming up.” In 2001, she created and performed a one-woman play-in-concert entitled Janis/Janus. She performed it until 2007, garnering rave reviews and sold out venues across BC. It started cropping up again more recently when she went to Ontario for three years because of a personal tragedy. When she was about to come back here a friend said, “Are you really going to leave town without doing a performance of anything?” Kudelka says “I always say Janis pulls her appearances out of a hat. An amazing band materialized to back her on a two sold-out performance of Janis Joplin’s Birthday Bash that year at Hughs Room with the third annual one held Jan. 18, 2017 at the Tranzac Club in Toronto. Kudelka says Janis kind of always was a parallel universe to her. “My show is about seven recurring dreams about her. The show here has recent material I have dreamed since I returned to the Shuswap.” The one at Anglemont will not be like the Toronto show, which was more dark and serious. “I’m going to have fun with it and one of the ways I’m going to have fun with it is to do it unplugged.” She will have new stories to tell and will be putting in two songs she doesn’t normally do, “a Robbie Robertson, a Cohen and a Hendrix." She will be looking for the comedy and the trickster energy of Janis, not all of which have gotten into the other shows. Playing lead guitar will be the very well thought of Dan Engelland.

Funding Restoration Statement from MP Mel Arnold
Submitted by Joel Taguchi, Legislative Assistant Mel Arnold, Member of Parliament for North Okanagan – Shuswap, Deputy Critic for Fisheries Oceans and Canadian Coast Guard issued this statement following a special committee meeting to discuss a request to review issues surrounding closures to the Canadian Coast Guard stations in Gimli and Selkirk, Manitoba and Kenora, Ontario, cuts made to the Search and Rescue dive program in British Columbia and cuts to the Salmonid Enhancement Program. “Opposition parties came together today asking for an opportunity for the Liberal Government to explain recent cuts announced to programs critical to public safety, fish habitat and public education,” stated MP Arnold. After receiving broad concern from the public, school teachers and conservation organizations, four Opposition members on the Standing Committee on Fisheries Oceans presented letters pursuant to Standing
Order 106 (4) requesting a briefing meeting with the Deputy Minister from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. With the majority of members on the committee, government members voted against the meeting. The purpose of the request and proposed meeting was to have the Deputy Minister explain the cuts made to the Search and Rescue Dive Team and the Salmonid Enhancement Program in an open and transparent manner. “It is very concerning that the Committee will not be provided an explanation of the government's cuts in the form of a public meeting," continued Arnold. “This raises the question of why the government members are opposed to a briefing. Not only will there be a great loss of education and training capabilities but lives could be put at risk because of cuts to the Coast Guard Dive Team operations.” For more information contact: Joel Taguchi, Legislative Assistant Phone: 613-222-6855 Email: mel.arnold.a1@parl.gc.ca

Anglemont Ladies Golf By Doris Hunter “Do you feel lucky, Punk?” No, Dirty Harry Callahan hasn’t made an appearance but luck is certainly on the golf course. Sometimes it is good, sometimes bad. Will the ball land on something that sends it forward or will it be unlucky and take off to the left? Will your putt stay on line and drop into the hole or will it be unlucky and divert at the last moment, missing the treasured drop? And luck is also in play with the Ladies ‘Fun Game on Thursdays. Will it be the highest reverse score, the highest score, or the most sixes? Some days you won’t find out until your game is over and the game is drawn from the mystery criteria box. Of course skill is also involved. The more you golf, the more your skill will develop. With skill and luck your scores should improve. We’ve had an active month with our Fun Games on Thursdays for prizes and Putting Challenge on Tuesdays. Winners of Thursday Fun games were: Bingo Bango Bongo: Lynn Miller, Brenda Buffel, Lowest Reverse Score - Darla Wilkinson and Lucille Ketemer. Longest Drive Proximity- Judy Weller with a powerful, amazingly long drive. Way to go Judy! Longest Putt proximity - Lucille Ketemer.

Santa is planning his ‘Christmas in July’ event as he is packing his sack with lots of gifts for those lucky enough to golf at the scenic and challenging Anglemont Estates Golf Course. July and August tee times will be 8 a.m., so please arrive early and be ready to golf at 7:45 a.m. There have been two Nine and Dine Friday evening events with more planned at Anglemont Estates Golf Course where it is fun and an excellent opportunity for all golfers to play and enjoy Craig’s excellent dinners. Be one of the lucky ones and come golfing.
Anglemont Men’s Golf By Gerry Shea The annual Anglemont Men’s Club Match Play Tournament has started and will continue throughout the summer. Last year’s champion is Rob Scranton and again he will be tough to beat. The format is a double knockout tournament meaning that the “B” side winner will have to beat the “A” side winner twice in order to claim the trophy. The regular Men’s Club Championship weekend will be August 26 and 27. The June 9 “nine and dine” tournament was won by Doug Rutherfords team. There will be 3 or 4 such tournaments over the summer. For more information about the tournament or if you want to enter a team, please con-
tact the Anglemont Golf Course at 955 -2323. Men’s Club plays every Thursday, shotgun start at 5:00 PM followed by supper. Five hole prizes such as “closest to the hole” and “longest putt” are awarded to the winners. Members also compete for low net and low gross honours. New members are always welcome. Club dues are $64.00 of which $30.00 goes to prizes and supper for the Club championship. The remaining $34.00 goes to The BC Golf Association for providing the golfers handicap calculations and membership with GolfCanada. Senior men play Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 7:30 in July and August.

By Tom Price Well here we are floating (literally) into the summer of 2017… Mother Nature has changed the landscape as she does seasonally and for some members of the community, has delivered fresh trees for winter firewood, pretty much free of charge to a beach somewhere near you! Some changes have also taken place in the Health Centre Society board with the addition of Kris Jenson as a Director… welcome Kris and thanks for committing some of your retirement life to actively support the Health Center! We want to thank the Chase Legion for making a donation to the Health Centre from their 50/50 draw and other fund raising activities. They have committed to provide a minimum of $1,000.00 towards the purchase of a needed heart defibrillator (Automated External Defibrillator or AED for short). Once we complete the funding we won’t have to run next door to the Pharmacy to borrow theirs in an emergency!!!
Doctor recruitment continues as an ongoing effort to fill in the gaps of service now in place with Dr. Hickman and Dr. Kelly, plus we have applied for General Practioner temporary doctor program (also known as the LOCUM coverage). Gail McNeil Oliver our Executive Director is in regular contact with other professional individuals that could provide services out of the clinic to ensure a broad base of options are available. Starting July 10, Donna Peters from Essentials Wellness Studio will be offering "Ionic Foot Bath Detox" at NSHC. This foot bath detox helps to detoxify your body by removing toxins that collect and build up in the cells over time. Reducing toxins reduces susceptibility to illness and helps to sustain wellness. This alternative therapy re-balances and reenergizes the body to run at optimal levels, utilizing nutrients more effectively and allowing for waste to be more effectively eliminated. 50 minute sessions (Continued on page 43)

Our AGM for the Health Centre Society is targeted for September, so make a note in your calendar to plan to attend! We always need new members and people who can participate in building a stronger Health Centre for our community. Fund raising is a constant topic for discussion at each board meeting and like many community members, I am amazed at how much it takes to keep the clinic doors open and run the “business” side of health services. The clinic itself does pretty well to break even over the year, but any major renovations/new equipment and management salaries for the Executive Director must come from grants and charitable donations. Terri Harper (new board member this year) is exploring grant application opportunities and I am going to work with local financial and estate planners to ensure every community member who is interested will have an opportunity to explore the many ways of setting up a gift and benefiting from the tax receipt the society will issue. Pretty well everyone knows that they can purchase a membership in the Society for $10.00 (and every little bit helps!), but to build a significant reserve for future operational needs plus take advantage of ex-

pansion of service opportunities, and maintain quality management personnel - the society really needs to work with community members who are interested in making a substantial gift. Gifts are generally categorized as one made “in the present”, or “to be made in the future”… Gifts made in the present are often cash on hand – generated from savings, or a windfall from lottery luck, inheritances, or sale of an asset. Many in our community came together with this type of gift in the purchase of the strata unit that houses the clinic. Gifts to be made in the future usually involve much more planning, and often have a special focus involved. Many of these are Estate gifts that are to be used for lasting benefits to the community. Often they are named to remember a particular person, or to help people suffering from particularly debilitating injuries or diseases, or to help a segment of society like parents of sick children who are unlikely to be able to handle the financial burden of taking care of them during a period of severe illness. Source of the funds could be a life insurance policy, cash, stocks or mutual funds, land or buildings…there are many, many options. If you are able to help we would be happy to talk to you and your advisors about our future vision and to discuss the role your gift could play in making that become a reality.

Surveillance Cameras John Seymour, Lakeside Technical Solutions
This month we are talking about the world of video surveillance systems. Not handheld video cameras that are everywhere these days, but systems with fixed video cameras mounted in various locations for monitoring live and/or recorded video. Although surveillance camera systems have been around for years, it wasn’t until the 80’s before they really started to become popular. Early systems were installed in places like banks and office buildings and were closed systems. In other words, one had to be in the same location as the cameras in order to be able to view live or recorded video. For many years, surveillance camera systems were only installed by professionals, were quite expensive and were therefore out of reach for the average person or household. Naturally as time went on, the technology improved and became simpler to use and much more affordable. Also, as with many technologies, the Internet became a driving force and so today,
people are viewing live and recorded video from cameras all over the world. We now watch recorded videos and live webcams over the Internet on a regular basis. Fairly sophisticated surveillance camera systems are now readily available and affordable for the average household and can be installed by those with average technical ability. People are using surveillance camera systems for a variety of purposes. Anything from simply keeping an eye and ear on baby in the next room to multi camera systems watching for suspicious activities around ones property. Most systems are now accessible from the Internet as well so can be accessed remotely using a computer, tablet and smartphone. It is now possible to view your property at any time and from anywhere you have access to the Internet. There are primarily three technologies available today ranging in both price and feature. Less expensive systems use analog technol(Continued on page 47)

ogy which has greatly improved over the years but is still fairly basic where video quality is concerned. These systems use regular TV type coaxial cable to connect to a video recording device. More expensive systems use digital technology allowing for HD quality video which can be viewed live or recorded. There are two varieties of digital systems out there, they are SDI (Serial Digital Interface) and IP (Internet Protocol) systems. SDI camera systems use coax cable to transfer digital video. This makes them attractive to those who have an older analog system installed and want to upgrade without replacing all of their existing cabling. IP systems use standard Cat 5 network cabling which can provide both audio/video and power to the camera. IP camera systems are the most expensive systems out there and provide the best video quality. There are also wireless IP cameras available that connect to your network without cabling. If you are interested to learn more or need help with a camera system install, feel free to call or email. (250)955-0816 johnseymour@Lakesidetech.ca www.lakesidetech.ca

An Inspirational Journey Part LX
By Jan Penner When I spoke with Heather this month, she had not had a very good day. She had just had a CT scan which showed 2 tumors in her brain. In addition to the chemo treatments she had been taking, she will now be having radiation treatments. The discovery of the tumors was an extra disappointment because she had recently found out that the suspected new tumor in her lung was, in fact, scar tissue from her surgery. Heather never ceases to amaze me. Even when she is down and tired, she still takes the time to ask me about how I am doing and how my work is going for me. She is capable of put-
ting others first without expecting anything in return. It makes me more aware of what I expect of myself and others, and it makes me want to be there for those around me. What one needs when they are ill or struggling is different for everyone. I think the best we can do for someone fighting cancer or any other debilitating condition is show we care. Help with transportation and meals and chores if you can. If you’re too far away for that, call, write, stay in touch, think good thoughts, say prayers and above all, use your time well. Thoughts and prayers Heather.

Letter to the Editor Re: on Eva Lyman’s letter in June Kicker
Thank you Eva Lyman for your concise and thought-provoking letter in last month’s Kicker!! I too am electrohypersensitive and have been diagnosed with this condition for over 15 years now. We moved to this community for healing yet in the last few years I feel like there has been an increase in radiation/frequency perhaps with the addition of more cell towers or existing ones that have been amped up. In the past I have had three MRI’s, multiple CT scans, x rays and so forth in just one year trying to figure out what was ailing me at the time. And I have always been into electronics, desiring the latest gadgets at my disposal for most of my life. I had purchased the first IPhone as soon as it was rolled out. I procrastinated against the notion that I could have such a condition. I didn’t believe it. I didn’t want to. Yet when I started to truly pay attention to my symptoms for instance when they would arise, what they were and so forth I began documenting them and could clearly see a corelation. I started to make some adjustments in my environment and work space. I hardwired my computer by using an ethernet cable, changed my modem and many other things in my home. All of this has made my life at home more
bearable. It sure wasn’t easy but now I am able to cope! I am also chemically & environmentally sensitive so it has been challenging, costly and most of all very painful to live with. Many people don’t understand the condition and have not much sympathy. Try going anywhere these days without encountering wifi and fragrances!! Over the last few years, I am seeing more and more people develop this awful condition! Fortunately, it is becoming more recognized in the medical community. Our regulations are based sole upon Safety Code 6 which I feel is deliberately skewed to favor the Telecom Industry and not the health of Canadians. The statistics on brain tumors are escalating yearly. I personally know several people right this moment who are dealing with this!! This was not a common condition until the last decade or so. Eva’s suggestion that we create a low frequency/ radiation environment in the North Shuswap is worthy of serious consideration. Many people are searching the world to find a place to live or visit that they can recover from this debilitating condition! Perhaps the North Shuswap or areas in it could be that special place!!

Monday night Bingo at the Hall kicked off the month of June with our latest $1,000 winner. Congratulations to Louise Olson, who called Bingo on the last number before the progressive prize rolled over. If you are enjoying the social evening that Bingo has become, please consider becoming a Bingo volunteer. We are trying to staff so that a volunteer would only work once for every 4 to 5 bingo nights. We hope to continue Monday night bingo thru the summer months, but we need the assistance of a few more volunteers. If you’d like to help, please reach out to either Deb DeBaie Strick (250-253-5954) or myself (250-253-6253).

Congratulations to our $1000 Bingo prize winner Louise Olson (pictured right) is receiving her cheque from Diane Tuma. Wine, Stein and Dine 2017 was a huge success!! The band Meat Draw kept the crowd on their feet and danced the night away! With a sold out event and the support of our generous local businesses we were able to double fundraising efforts from last year. Hats
off and kudos to Karla Bennett and her dedicated volunteer team for making this event an annual hit. And the verdict is in… Lobster Dinner - a success once again! Many comments from our dining guests on how much fun they had. A wonderful community effort from a great crew of over 50 volunteers and without them, this night simply wouldn’t be possible. This was a ‘first event’ for several of the volunteers and they all seemed happy to be included. A great way for people to get to know others in the community and become involved! Others have done it for many years and they just keep on giving amazing! Special thanks to Annette and Tim Brausse from SuperValu for their continued support and their staff Jimmy and Bruce for carving the prime rib. Thank you to John and Linda Sutton for cooking the lobster. The community association once again participated in annual Poker Run. I had the pleasure of spending father’s day with 5 members of the association on the lake at one of the 5 checkpoints for poker cards. We saw a steady parade of beautiful boats and happy boaters, enjoying the jewel that is our lake… And best of all, no one fell in!

canoe was built. The Little Shuswap elders chose the tree on Aug 25, 2016. The traditional log of choice was a 120-foot cottonwood tree. It was the tree Secwepemc used to build dugout canoes in the past. There was a tree ceremony on January 22, 2017 which brought the tree to the ground and transported to the Quaaout Lodge property. The sacred tree was turned into two canoes under the direction of carver Frank Marchand, one using power tools and the other made using traditional methods. Cultural Liaison Frank Antoine pledged to take care of the canoes for the next 25 years “to make sure we remember.� He also showed the crowd the sapling which will be planted in the same location as the cottonwood tree used for the canoes. Many people and organizations which supported the project, were thanked and given a paddle made from the same tree the canoes were built from. After a swearing in ceremony was held for Chief Oliver Arnouse, elected in May to the band council, he played the drum and sang. The traditional canoe was then launched to more singing and drumming and the two canoes went on their maiden voyages.

They are Carole Lepsoe, Monique Nikl and Patti Hubner. They did a super job at the Pig and Whistle and we are pleased to have them entertain for us again. Our super duper Canadian Angus Burgers will be on sale again along with our loaded hot dogs. Bring a lawn chair and sit back and enjoy! If it should rain we will move inside. Glory Days: They advertised themselves as a “little band with big sound” and they lived up to their billing. The Duo played hits from the 50’s up to the present and the dance floor was full. Those who just wanted to listen could enjoy the stylings of Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Dire Straits and more. Thanks to Marianne Brama and her committee for organizing a super night of entertainment and the pulled pork sandwiches were great! (Continued on page 55)

A special thank you to , SHJ Decks & More - Brian and Monty Dalgleish We had to deal with an unexpected emergency surgery the day we arrived here to camp at the Shuswap and Brian came through for us !! He built a ramp for us the day we came out of the hospital! He was helpful and timely as we also asked if he could construct a step for the RV bed and a step for getting in the pick up truck.
All three were built to be sturdy and affordable -he added in some extra safety features and made them attractive as well ! We appreciate Brian for taking the time to help us, for his professionalism and craftsmanship ! We hope his business continues to flourish !!

Eileen Peters MA, Certified Professional Counsellor Anxiety is a normal part of daily living that helps us prepare for danger (for example, our heart beats faster to pump blood to our muscles so we have the energy to run away or fight off danger). But anxiety can become a problem when our body tells us that there is danger when there is no real danger. For example, it’s normal to feel anxious in social situations from time to time. But that anxiety becomes a problem when it starts getting in the way of your ability to function and enjoy life. Social Anxiety makes everything dark and hopeless. It makes you feel powerless and helpless. Social anxiety holds on tight, and gets you to believe huge, ridiculous lies about yourself, such as: • I will always feel this anxiety, • I will never have friends, • I can never take a promotion because then I would have responsibilities I couldn't handle. • I can't go to college because the instructor may ask me questions, and I won't be able to make friends there, • people look at me funny and make me feel like I've done something wrong. • Even cleaning my desk is uncomfortable because people are watching and judging me. • Maybe I walk funny. • Maybe I don't hold my back straight enough. • Maybe people are grossed out by my hair. • I know everyone dislikes
me. The Social Anxiety Association says that a person suffering from Social Anxiety needs to start living by the truth: “There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with you, except you are believing what social anxiety wants you to believe.” So how does one begin to live by the truth when your whole life is governed by feelings of worry and discomfort? A very helpful website is www.anxietybc.com. They say the first thing is to become more aware of your specific fears. Try to identify and write down your thoughts whenever you feel an urge to escape or avoid a situation. The next step involves learning to evaluate your negative thoughts. Remember, your thoughts are guesses about what will happen, not actual facts. For example: What am I afraid will happen if I go to the party? I’ll say something stupid. Am I 100% certain that I’ll say something stupid at the party? No, not 100% certain. How many times Have I said something stupid at a party? A few times, but not every time. What is the evidence that supports my thoughts? Once, I made a joke that no one laughed at. Another time I make a comment that didn’t make sense. And another time I asked a question and someone laughed. What is the evidence that does not support my thoughts? I have gone to (Continued on page 59)

Trail lovers: Are you stuck finding a gift to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday? The Shuswap Trail Alliance has a great idea. We want to leave a Trail Legacy for the whole Shuswap. Our community had a dream to build a welldesigned, well-signed, wellmaintained network of trails. Over the years, this dream has come true. We now have over 700km of trails to explore. And we want these trails to be here for the next 150 years. Building a permanent endowment with Shuswap Community Foundation is the next step to creating sustainability for the Shuswap trail system. A contribution to the Shuswap Trail Legacy Fund is a gift to the Shuswap, of a wellmaintained trail system for future generation to explore. “After the celebrations are over and the last piece of cake is eaten, the last
balloon popped, wouldn’t it be amazing to reflect on Canada’s 150th and know that we have built an endowment fund that will ensure a robust system of trails in perpetuity. I can’t think of any better birthday gift for the community,” says Cindy Derkaz, director of the Shuswap Trail Alliance and avid trail user. It’s easy to be part of the Shuswap Trail Legacy: make your cheque payable to Shuswap Community Foundation (note it is for the Shuswap Trail Legacy Fund), send to SCF at Box # 624, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N7. Or donate online at www.shuswapfoundation.ca. Charitable tax receipts will be issued for all donations over $20. "Receiving support for future trail maintenance efforts through this Legacy Fund will be a game changer for the community," says Phil McIntyre-Paul, Execu(Continued on page 63)

tive Director of the Shuswap Trail Alliance. "We constantly look for ways to collaborate to do our good work. And I’m so inspired to think of our community making this type of meaningful gift to ourselves!" "We love our community partners like the Shuswap Trail Alliance, who see the value in building a long term fund to support their efforts. It’s the beauty of the Community Foundation," says Dave Wood, President of the Shuswap Community Foundation. “And I love that this is being built as a 150th birthday gift to the Shuswap!” All contributions, small

or large, are gratefully received and help build the Fund. If you contribute $1,000 or more to the Shuswap Trail Legacy fund in 2017 you will become a “Canada 150 Trailblazer” and will be recognized into the future for your efforts to establish the Shuswap Trail Legacy Fund.

This year there is a hammock there and more log picnic tables – someone is doing a lot of work without hurting the forest around them. We saw two un-named yet (to us) wild Orchids on the trails, both were very small. Here in Chase, there were five House Finches, fledglings, at our feeder and they are using the birdbath this year. Our next outing will be to the Seymour River Falls on

This is an easy hike through a moss-covered forest. In August, we will go to Nellie Lake to see the Western Toad Migration again. I had a call from the Donkey Refuge Farm looking for people to lead groups through a natural area, someone who can identify the plants – is there someone out there who would like to do this?

Theatre on the Edge Lineup By Jaci Metivier Salmon Arm - Theatre on the Edge, the Shuswap’s ‘fringe’ style theatre event, has just announced its lineup, with seven plays and fourteen performances on offer over the weekend of July 21-23. This year, all seven shows are original Canadian plays performed by their creators. Three very different ‘fringe-tested’ solo shows will give theatre goers a taste of what the fringe circuit has to offer. The two Andrews, Andrew Bailey (Me, the Queen and a Coconut) and Andrew Wade (The Most Honest Man in the World) each mine their experiences to create a funny and insightful look at how and why they got to where they are today. The F Words is Yvette DudleyNeuman’s fast paced multimedia frolic exploring topics like ageism, fattism, sexuality, self-worth and female friendship. Ida and Old Baldy Seniors Theatre is back at it again with The Reunion Project, a new collectively created play about the joys and terrors of a 50th class reunion. Long-time Shuswap Theatre artist James Bowlby’s Salmon Arm Actors’ Studio brings the grocery store into focus with a series of funny vignettes called The Super Market. And audience favourites Saucy Fops will not disappoint with a new out-of-the-box creation celebrating contemporary life and its absurdities with a fast moving and hilarious set of short scenes. Finally, Monkey with a Box will make their first Theatre on the Edge appearance with their brilliant brand of completely improvised comedy. Be prepared for anything, and be ready to give your suggestions. Theatre on the Edge, in its third year, is a weekend long celebration of fresh new plays presented by Shuswap Theatre in Salmon Arm. Shows run every two hours from noon till night. Each play is under 60 minutes, and in between shows, theatregoers can relax outdoors with a drink (Marionette Winery and local craft breweries) and a bite to eat (BeTeased food truck) while listening to free live music. Tickets, passes and information about artists and schedules is available at www.shuswaptheatre.com or at Intwined Fibre Arts on Hudson Ave.

By Jan Penner This year ended with a number of farewells. First of all, we sent off a large group of grade 8’s, many of whom were with us since Kindergarten. They will be at Jackson Campus in the fall. Mr. Olson, Mr. Purdon and Ms. Holmlund were in temporary positions at North Shuswap and while all may be back in September, we can’t be sure about their placement until the start of the new school year. Wanda, who has for many years been the first face one saw when visiting our school, has transferred to Salmon Arm West. A new secretary has not yet been named. Ms. Taylor, a favourite of both students and staff, will now be a member of the Kamloops District. Ms. Auger leaves to further her music education. Lastly, Mrs. Delisle has made the
decision to retire. While all staff leaving us will be greatly missed, Mrs. Delisle’s departure definitely tugs at the hearts of both staff and students. She was an admirable teacher, guide, mentor, and colleague, who always put the needs and best interests of the students and school first. Ms. Bowlby returned to North Shuswap with her Carlin class to take part in Walk For Water. While the donations collected for Me to We were small, the effort of students to complete the almost 8 km. walk was not. Congratulation to all who took part in the event, raising awareness and support for those who do not have readily accessible, safe water.

ing event. Our small school had two winners in their category: Simon Wiebe won for Grade 8 and Jake Hewitt was the winner for Grade 5. A big pat on the back goes to all our intermediate students, who composed speeches and presented to an audience. The Kindergarten class had a great field trip to Scotch Creek. We would like to thank Annette and the staff at SuperValu for the wonderful tour and the mementoes we were given (and the bunwiches and cupcakes that were enjoyed for lunch!). Thanks also to Leigh for our library tour, and to Chief Engholm at the Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Fire Hall for showing us the trucks and equipment. We love our community! Mr. Schmidt and the grade 7 students made their annual trek to Sunnybrae. Their 3 days were full of fun activities and companionship. It was a trip enjoyed by all and a great way to celebrate the year. Mrs. Schmidt and her grade 3-4 class invited the Kindergartens and Mrs. Penner to help release the fish.
We bid a fond farewell to our fry on the 19th, with kind words and best wishes. It appears that the fish hatchery program, which was to be terminated, has been given new life after much public outcry. We ar are thankful so many of our students have had the opportunity to be involved in the program for so many years and hope they can continue to do so for many more. The entire school took part in a trip to the waterslides on June 22nd. This was followed closely by Fun Day on the 26th, with a Canada 150 theme. Multi-aged groups had a great time participating in activities that stretched the mind, muscle and hilarity level. The 28th saw our annual Awards Day and Farewell, before students and staff wrapped up classes on the 29th. Thanks to all our parents and community members who are so supportive of our school. It means a lot to staff to know that we can call on you for rides, for help in classrooms and for support for fundraisers and school events. You rock North Shuswap!

Begin Eating Right HOW COULD FAT PEOPLE POSSIBLY BE HUNGRY? By Germain Bégin, Nutritionist You are invited to an all you can eat buffet of all of your favourite foods this coming weekend. You need only bring your appetite. In anticipation your thoughts turn to how you will prepare yourself to indulge in a day of blissful culinary ecstasy. The action plan is actually quite simple, as the day approaches you will eat less. To make sure you are really hungry, you will also spend some time at the gym. This combination of eating less and physical activity should really bring on some big time hunger. The event over, your buffet experience has been an unimaginable success; you can't believe just how much food you managed to pack in! The extra body fat you'll be gaining, well, you'll deal with that another day. As the days move forward, the guilt sets in, your blue jeans are becoming uncomfortably tight. You know the reason why and it's time to atone for your recent ‘gastronomic sins’. This coming weekend you will put your weight loss plan into action; you are going to eat less and spend time at the gym. SCREEEEECH!!! Hold on a second. How could the game plan that you used to make yourself hungry and caused you to gain weight in the first place now somehow have the opposite effect??? It won't. Hunger is an extremely powerful force; once stimulated, it can be ignored for only so long. Hunger always wins out, you eat. Moreover, physical activity is not the ‘answer’ to long term weight loss but it is the perfect ‘compliment’. Okay, so if it isn't about the ‘amount’ of calories you consume and burn then what is it about? Try dwelling on this question for a moment, ‘how could fat people possibly be hungry?’. Right there in full view for the world to see, regardless of whether it's an extra 10 or 50 or 100 kilograms of body fat, are rich stores of energy. Everyone knows that fat is loaded with calories. So why won't the body make use of these rich stores of fuel first instead of sending out hunger signals? To use a metaphor, the fuel tank is full but some-
thing is stopping the fuel from leaving the tank. The fat glands are either dysfunctional or something is causing them to be dysfunctional and more fat is accumulating than is released. When this happens, the brain is tricked into thinking that the body is low on fuel and it's time to eat again; a hunger signal is sent out. People carrying excess body fat are likely hungrier than most, giving the illusion that it's the amount they eat that's causing the problem. It's actually a symptom. They aren't fat because they eat too much, they eat more because they aren’t releasing fat. And the act of eating takes on an added dimension; comfort. There are many reasons for why fat glands don't behave properly; some not related to diet. But when diet is implicated, the place to start is with the amount of carbs one consumes, especially those coming from sugar and cereal grain starches (processed foods are loaded with these). These carb sources are rich in glucose which has the effect of stimulating the pancreas to release insulin into the blood. Insulin is the hormone that makes sure there isn't too much blood sugar (glucose) floating around. But insulin is also the ‘fat storage’ hormone and too much insulin circulating around for too long has the effect of not allowing the fat glands to release their fat stores. For those with this particular problem (which is true for most), the significant reduction of these carb sources from the diet will, over time, allow the fat glands to start releasing the stored up fat reserves. Adding physical activity will speed up the release. Unfortunately for some the problem is far more complex and extends beyond the amount of carbs they consume. From hormones to enzymes to metabolic processes to intestinal microflora to diet, there could be any number of overlapping combinations. In such cases, discovering which ones are involved and how they might be addressed has proven to be a very difficult challenge to overcome. FMI contact: BeginEatingRight@gmail.com

Submitted by Gord Bell Here is an easy recipe for afternoon happy hour on the balcony. I use an Asian dip of my design and sometimes if I have some cooked bacon and no vegans around I will crumble up some in the mixture. To save time, buy the frozen shredded potatoes from a grocery store. With the side burner on the barbecue you can cook, drink and entertain all at the same time.
Sr. Publisher: Jan Wojciechowski Publisher: Tracy Wojciechowski Editor: Jo Anne Malpass email: penwith23@hotmail.com Advertising /Classifieds: Cindy Korchinski
INGREDIENTS • • • • • •
3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 egg, lightly beaten 4 russet potatoes, peeled and shredded 2 scallions, sliced Salt Pepper
DIRECTIONS 1. Heat oil in non-stick skillet. Have other ingredients prepped before shredding potatoes as they will discolour. Shred potatoes and immediately combine with scallions and egg. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of potato mixture into skillet and flatten with back of spoon. Continue cooking four pancakes at a time. When pancakes are brown flip to other side and continue to brown. Remove to paper towels to drain and season with salt.

PLEASE PRINT Gary Matthews Nov 27, 1942 – Apr 12, 2017 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gary on Apr. 12, 2017. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 yrs; Maggie, his son John (Johanna), daughter Leah, grand daughters Jade and Julia, extended sister and brother in laws. Gary was born in Vancouver, B.C. where he attended school, started his trucking career and met his wife. He and Maggie were married in Dec. 1964, and had two children. In 1996 they moved to the Shuswap where they spent the next 18 years, residing in Anglemont. Gary drove highway trucks for 45 years and loved his job, but he especially loved to come back to the Shuswap at the end of his runs, where he would listen to his favorite music and spend time with his family and friends. He retired in 2011. Due to his failing health, Gary and Maggie moved to Kamloops in 2014, where he spent the remainder of his days. A celebration of life will be held on July 15, 3:00 pm at the Oakdale Park clubhouse. 2400 Oakdale way, Kamloops B.C. We will celebrate “Gary’s Way” dress casual, enjoy some music and an outdoor BBQ.
