first good news we had had in over an hour. From the opposite side of the river, Jennifer located Ivory a short distance from where she entered on a small clearing at the water’s edge. Despite that good news, no recovery options seemed available given the steep cliff. Ivory howled and cried for most of the 4 hours, broke your heart. All communication with authorities or any people that might be able to help was taken care of by local people, a huge burden that Janice and I did not have to carry. Jennifer, her 2 dogs, and several of the teachers who had forsaken their hike stood by our side for over 4 hours. The RCMP was of little assistance, simply stating they don’t rescue animals and leaving the scene. Fire Chief Mike Engholm went back to Scotch Creek for rappelling equipment, provided excellent advice, and had dog treats for Ivory. Tekki Brown-Hryniw was informing her certified climber husband and daughter in Salmon Arm that we may need their assistance. Even with that, the slope was too dangerous and there were no trees to anchor any equipment so that option seemed daunting at best. All other methods and ideas were fruitless, and our desperation grew as day became early evening. Then, along came an Angel. Emily Boyes had just lost her kayak in the river upstream and was walking back down the trail after enlisting the aid of two friends to scour the river for her kayak. Emily, Maison Cavaliere, and Luke Robinson all have Swift Water Training certification and were extremely well equipped and had practiced similar scenarios. They sacrificed their goal of finding the kayak as they immediately committed to rescuing Ivory. Emily did not end up retrieving her kayak.
After assessing the scene from above and identifying the challenges of any rappel rescue, the three kayakers entered the river upstream of Ivory and headed to the tiny clearing she had climbed onto. Maison was amazing in the rapids, expertly coming up to a very small eddy closely followed by Emily and Luke. Maison climbed out of his kayak, calmed Ivory down, and finally was able to hold her. She immediately snuggled her head down on his shoulder. The decision was made that the only rescue would be for Maison to go back in the extremely strong flowing current with Ivory and swim down to the eddy at the Adams Bridge. Emily took Maison’s empty kayak, and Luke rode shotgun preventing them from heading into the middle of the river. Maison got Ivory back into the water and swam with her every inch to the bridge and safety. Despite their humility, Maison, Emily and Luke are absolute heroes. Without them, there was little hope for Ivory. The relief of all involved was evident by the vast amount of tears being shed in the parking lot once she was back on land. We would also like to thank Sharon Langlois, Celia Dyer, Kyle Boppre, Tanner from Quaaout Lodge and Cliff from Adams River Rafting for their assistance, support and advice. At one stage we had over 20 people providing any help they could, including buying bottled water for all involved. I am missing some key people who helped tremendously, for that I apologize. It is impossible to put into words how much you all meant to us at a very dark hour. For everyone who cared so much and provided such incredible support, please know that we will remember forever and will strive to pay your huge generosity forward. Greatly appreciated.

...Kick-Back!! By Editor Jo Anne Malpass With the Shuswap lake level being high, we have been asked to remind boaters to slow down and respect our fragile environment and property at risk. Wake striking the shore can cause rapid and severe erosion, exposing the roots of vegetation. It can also churn up sediments, degrading the aquatic environment for plants and animals. Loons are particularly vulnerable to wakes. Along with eroding our shoreline, boat wakes can cause damage to docks and retaining walls and have even thrown children off docks. Keep in mind that you are responsible to operate your boat in a safe manner and prevent damage caused by your wake or wash. If your boat or its wake damages property or injures people, you could be held liable. The person who suffers damage must be able to identify the boat and the operator and prove it caused the damage (witnesses are helpful). Large and heavier boats create damaging waves even at low speeds. Extra caution is needed when cruising the lake. Keep in the centre whenever possible. Small and light boats should remain 300 metres from the shoreline whenever possible or travel in the centre of the lake when approaching vulnerable shorelines. Go “dead slow” when travelling within 300 metres of the shoreline. When operating at no-wake speed, trim the drive or outboard to allow the boat to proceed with smallest wake possible. Watch for debris and submerged docks. How you speed up and slow down is important. Operating your boat at less than "hull speed" (about 8 mph for a 10metre boat), a boat makes very little wake. As you increase speed, the bow begins to rise and the wake from the bow begins to meet the wake from the stern, causing the combined wave to increase in height and volume. Between hull speed and planing speed, there is a speed range where the boat will throw maximum wakes and use maximum fuel. Just before the boat
begins to lift onto plane and level out, even a small boat can capsize nearby canoes or wash away shoreline. Don’t linger in the transitional phase, move promptly to planing speed. It’s almost impossible for a boat driver to see the impact of his wake by looking behind the boat because the boat has travelled quite a distance before the wake hits the shore. The only way to really observe it is to stand on a soft shore and watch the impact of wake in all three phases of boat speed. Every boat driver should do this sometime – you may be surprised at what you see. Once lake levels reach a more reasonable height, regular boating activities can resume but good boating manners are important during the entire boating season. When overtaking a boat, allow for as much room as depth conditions allow for. Consider your wake and slow your speed if necessary to ensure you don’t rock the other vessel. Leave plenty of berth between yourself and other boaters, especially when carrying multiple passengers or playing loud music. Sound carries much farther on the water, and you want to avoid disturbing your neighbors. Avoid traveling between a fishing boat and the shore, even if that watercraft does not appear to be moving. Never try to spray swimmers or cut in front of or try to jump the wake of other vessels. Some of the worst boating incidents happen when operators misjudge speed or distance. The U.S. Coast Guard lists boat wakes among the top 10 primary contributing factors for boating accidents in the United States, causing an average 193 people injured and 211 boating accidents each year. The fourth highest contributing factor in accidents is excessive speed, even higher than alcohol use. (The top three are operator inattention, improper lookout and operator inexperience.) We want everyone to be safe and enjoy the Shuswap Lake boating season.

• Winter Road Maintenance - The
Minister of Transportation responded to a letter from CSRD Board Chair Rhona Martin asking the Minister to review its contractor obligations, and agreement specifications for snow and ice control. To protect public safety, it is suggested that a review of minimum equipment standards and staffing requirements should be undertaken. Minister Claire Trevena wrote “The Interior has experienced exceptionally heavy snowfall this winter. While our maintenance contractors strive to plow side roads within 48 hours of a snowfall over five centimeters and school bus routes after any measurable accumulation, there may be times during periods of prolonged snowfall where they must keep equipment for longer on numbered (main) routes. This spring the ministry is tendering new maintenance contracts for the service areas in your Regional District that will require even higher standards and faster, more effective service. Some of the winter maintenancerelated changes include increased antiicing requirements, increased patrol frequencies and tighter timeframes to return highways to bare pavement when temperatures permit.” The CSRD Board also agreed to submit a resolution to the 2018 Union of BC Municipalities that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure be requested to immediately undertake a
review of their contractor obligations, and agreement specifications for snow and ice control in the rural areas, including a review of minimum equipment standards and staffing requirements. • Recycling Program Delivery in the CSRD - The Board authorized staff to send a letter to the Minister of Environment outlining the CSRD’s concerns with Recycle BC’s proposed stewardship plan updates. On September 12, 2013, the Board authorized acceptance of the Depot Collection Incentive offer with MultiMaterials British Columbia (Recycle BC). Effective January 1, 2015, Recycle BC provided the CSRD with incentive payments for the acceptance of recyclables in compliance with the program. Recycle BC is currently reviewing its stewardship program and CSRD staff has participated in the consultation process, has provided feedback and input to the proposed changes. The Ministry of Environment will be reviewing the Recycle BC plan in 2018. CSRD staff has some concerns with these proposed changes, which, if implemented, would preclude any community with a population under 5,000 or unincorporated community from an agreement with Recycle BC, among other issues.

Two Children Lose Consciousness in North Vancouver While Boating Due to Carbon Monoxide A lesson to Shuswap Boaters North Vancouver RCMP News Release Two children lost consciousness due to carbon monoxide poisoning while boating with their family on May long weekend. The potentially fatal incident unfolded in the waters of Indian Arm on Monday, May 21, 2018 when a North Vancouver family was out boating in a 27-foot vessel equipped with an inboard engine. While returning to a North Vancouver marina the children, aged 7 and 10, went down below in the cabin of the boat while three adults stayed up on the outer deck. At approximately 9:00 pm one of the parents of the children went down below into the cabin and found the two children groggy and unresponsive. They were quickly brought up into the fresh air where they regained consciousness. Emergency personnel met the boat at the marina where the two children were given oxygen and taken to the local hospital. After a period of medical assessment they were released and are expected to make a full recovery. The preliminary investigation shows that carbon monoxide
had leaked from the inboard engine compartment into the cabin where the children where resting. Thankfully this incident did not end up more tragic than what it did, said Cpl. Richard De Jong of the North Vancouver RCMP. Police are reminding all boaters to be safety minded while on the water – especially being aware of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is a potentially deadly gas produced any time a carbon-based fuel, such as gasoline, propane, charcoal or oil burns. Cold or poorly tuned engines produce more carbon monoxide than warm, properly tuned engines. Installing a carbon monoxide detector in each accommodation space on your boat is a good safety measure. Do not confuse carbon monoxide poisoning with seasickness, intoxication or heat stress. If someone on board complains of irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness or dizziness, immediately move the person to fresh air. The best precaution against carbon monoxide poisoning is to keep fresh air flowing through the vessel.

The North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce plans for community projects are well underway. Our April meeting held at Celista Hall saw a great turn out. BC Parks was our guest speakers and we discussed the events to take place July 1st at the Provincial Park. Exciting things are taking place for the Chamber event; kids games and face painting, logger show and firemen’s demonstration, food and artisan vendors, and music. The event will take place from 12-4pm and will be fun for all ages, this is a free event and the North Shuswap Chamber looks forward to a great turn out. Community Encouragement: Now that we are closer to
the summer we would like to encourage all who enjoy our beaches and lakefront properties to look after the beaches once high water resides, clean up debris and make it safe for our families and pets to enjoy the shores. We would also like to extend a thought to residents and tourists to obey the speed limit signs, it is a busy time of year with lots of activities, families, and children out and about. Let’s make it safe for them please, drive safe! Why don’t we all try out a new business in the North Shuswap, we challenge all to go out and visit a business in the community you haven’t been to yet. Supporting one another is key to success! (Continued on page 13)

Roderick Haig-Brown Park Being Renamed By Jo Anne Malpass Along with two other BC Parks, the Province of BC has proposed legislative amendments to rename Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park, to reflect its historic and cultural significance as part of reconciliation efforts with Indigenous peoples, says a press release from the Province of BC. At the request of the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band, Roderick Haig-Brown Park will be renamed to the traditional Secwepemc name Tsútswecw Park, which translates to many rivers. A Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy spokesman said Bill 19-2018 has now passed Committee and Third Read-
ing, but the proposed name change has not yet received Royal Assent. BC Parks describes Roderick Haig-Brown Park as a river-eroded landscape with a variety of cultural heritage sites. Archaeological studies of the area have uncovered evidence of large settlements. Home to the Shuswap people, kekulis (pit houses), artifacts and pictographs can be seen in the area and are strictly protected. “These amendments allow our government to take an important step forward towards our ongoing reconciliation efforts with Indigenous peoples throughout British Columbia, which includes honouring the com(Continued on page 15)

Roderick Haig-Brown Park Being Renamed continued mitments we made under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples,” said George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. “The renaming of these parks to traditional Indigenous names, as rooted in history, reflect the significant heritage values recognized by all British Columbians and beyond.” Brooks Peninsula Park on Vancouver Island will be renamed to Mquqwin/Brooks
Peninsula Park. Mquqwin means “The Queen” in the Nuu-Chah-Nulth language. Boya Lake Park near the northwestern B.C. border will be renamed Tā Ch’ilā Park, meaning “holes in a blanket,” at the request of the Kaska Dena First Nation. A Ministry statement said the Haig-Brown family is in support of the name change and a brass plaque in tribute to Roderick Haig-Brown will remain in the park.

Fire News Scotch Creek/Lee Creek By Mike Engholm Wow we sure got the hot weather fast this spring. With huge snow packs in the mountains now melting rapidly, Shuswap Lake has increased in volume very quickly this year. The prediction model has been for lake levels to mirror or slightly exceed 2012. Scotch Creek area has been affected down on the Hilliam Frontage Rd. with a few houses flooded out. The CSRD activated the Shuswap Emergency Program, with deliveries of sand and bags at locations in the North Shuswap. One of the locations is behind the Scotch Creek / Lee Creek Fire Hall, so if needed, please help yourself. I will keep monitoring to make sure there is a good supply. On May 20 and 21, we had BC Wildfire Service Unit Crews (The Sierras from Penticton) sandbagging properties on Hilliam Rd. When not training or on active deployment fighting wildfires, they are helping with the sandbag effort, and they sure work hard at it, so a big thank
you goes out to them. Now that the hot weather is here, I would like to remind everyone that open burning of category 2 and 3 are now prohibited. Campfires of maximum ½ M x ½ M are still allowed, but please have a shovel and lots of water close by. Once finished with your campfire, always extinguish completely with water and use the shovel to stir up the wet coals. Never leave a campfire unattended and don’t have one going on a windy day. Since the last Fire News, SC/LC FD was called out to two burn complaints, one in Scotch Creek and the other in Lee Creek. We were also called to assist with a rescue of a dog at Adams River Bridge area, with a great outcome. For training, we sent Firefighters to the Oliver Spring Training Seminar in early May. We also sent one to a RIT course at White Lake Fire dept., four to S-115 (SPU) course at S.R.F.T.C. in Salmon Arm. Activity at our annual gar(Continued on page 16)

Sandbagging
By Jo Anne Malpass A request for assistance from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District to Emergency Management BC, led to the arrival of 20 contract firefighters and one BC Wildfire Service supervisor helping to sandbag in the Shuswap. Elmer and Joyce Boe, owners of the home pictured above in Magna Bay, are very grateful for the help they received. Derek Sutherland, Team Leader CSRD Protective Services, said the support was originally for the Salmon River flooding but once that was mitigated, the crews started supporting sandbagging efforts on the lake. The crews worked and continue to work throughout the Shuswap, Salmon Arm and Sicamous. Local fire chiefs Mike Engholm and Graham Lucas helped establish priorities in the area. The crew worked in the Hilliam road area of
Scotch Creek, Anglemont and Magna Bay. Sand and sandbags are available for property owners at North Shuswap Community Hall 5456 Squilax-Anglemont Road Celista, Ross Creek Country Store 6929 SquilaxAnglemont Road Magna Bay and Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Fire Hall 3852 SquilaxAnglemont Road Scotch Creek. Sandbags only at Spooner Electric Ltd. 2199 Squilax-Anglemont Road Lee Creek. If an incident could potentially be a risk to public safety, please call the Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP) Operations Centre at 250.833.3351. Report all other flooding incidents to the Provincial Emergency Reporting Line at 1.800.663.3456. Further flooding information can be found on the SEP web page or on the PreparedBC website.

Trooper Entertains Thousands on Shuswap Lake By Jo Anne Malpass Thousands of boaters congregated at the Cinnemousin Narrows on the afternoon of May 19 to see Canadian rock band Trooper perform. Waterway Houseboats thanks everyone (all 5000 of you) who joined the Waterway Houseboats 50th Anniversary party / May Long Weekend / concert with Trooper on Shuswap Lake. “That was by far the biggest party we’ve thrown in 50 years.” Trooper posted “What a Party! Trooper played in the middle of Shuswap Lake on Canada’s largest houseboat – surrounded by hundreds of boats full of hundreds of summer people enjoying a beautiful, sunny BC summer afternoon! Trooper sends their sincere thanks to Waterway Houseboats – Colleen, Sha-
ron, Jason, Chris and Mike - for a great weekend, celebrating the company’s 50th Anniversary. Thanks, also, to all the amazing boat people out on the water the extended Trooper Family will never forget that gig!” Many of the people attending described the experience as “awesome”. One hitch was that many attending could not hear the band. There was one suggestion afterward, to broadcast the sound on an fm radio station like at the drive-in. That way all the boats that were a little farther back could have enjoyed the show too. Waterway responded that they are looking into that for next year. “The wind was a factor and the huge crowd size as well. We have learned and it will be better next year.”

First Responders “911 … What is your emergency?” Submitted by Karen Boulter Have you ever wondered what the North Shuswap First Responders {NSFR} is all about? When you have a medical emergency and call 911, you will reach BC Ambulance Services. Because we live in an area without a full time ambulance or hospital, BCAS will first dispatch the ambulance from Kamloops, Salmon Arm or Chase, and then call North Shuswap First Responders, who will be dispatched to your location, as well. NSFR follows BC Ambulance protocol to help ensure you are provided care in a timely manner and help to prepare you for transport to the hospital once BC Ambu-
lance is able to arrive on scene. Our responders are trained as Emergency Medical Assistants – First Responders (EMA-FR). We will assess the scene, looking for ways to ensure the safety of all persons involved. We will then follow a primary assessment, checking on the patient’s level of consciousness, as well as determining adequate airway, breathing and circulation. A rapid body survey is conducted to ascertain any life threatening injuries which will be attended to immediately. Oxygen will be provided when necessary and a secondary assessment is conducted to

continue gathering information. We will record signs and symptoms of the injury or illness, list allergies, medications, past and pertinent medical history, last oral intake, and events leading up to the emergency situation. Checking vital signs such as pulse, respirations, skin temperature and colour, as well as assessing pain levels, is information that will be passed on to the EMA’s who arrive in the ambulance. Attending to wounds and fractures, applying a cervical collar when necessary, and helping with lifting and loading of the patient, all help speed up the process of getting you to the hospital a little more quickly. We hope to reach you within 5 to 15 minutes from the time we are dispatched to your location. Sometimes, the time between your initial 911 call and the time it takes for BCAS to dispatch us, adds to this time. If we have not reached you within twenty minutes, please call 911 again and ensure we have been dispatched, as well. In order to cut our response times, we are also looking for more responders who live within each of our communities along our North Shuswap area. More responders ultimately allow us to respond more quickly. Thank you to all of you for your help, allowing us to continue helping you when we are needed. If you have ever considered joining the First Responders, now is the time to get off the fence. NSFR will provide all the training, equipment and insurance you will require. The future of
our group is in your hands. Please, contact Andrea Carter @250-679-7746 or Phyllis Shrum @ 250-9552949/ pshrum52@gmail.com with your questions about what it is like to be a First Responder. They, or any other of our members, will be happy to let you know what is involved and what you can expect to learn and prepare for during your training sessions. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Together “We Make a Difference.” If you are interested in learning more about our NSFR Society, please email Catherine McCrea at cm.nsbc@gmail.com or write to NS First Responder Society, PO Box 24015, Scotch Creek, BC, V0E 3L0. We would not be able to continue this valuable service without the help of so many. Please call Margaret Needham at 250-679-2334 or email her at ma.needham49@gmail.com to order your green and white reflective address sign. Displaying your address is an enormous help for First Responders when we need to find you quickly. The signs are just $35, and invaluable during an emergency situation. If you would like to borrow home care medical supplies such as crutches, walkers, walking casts, wheelchairs, or shower chairs, free of charge, from the First Responders Society, please contact Don Devine at donedevine@gmail.com or call 250-955-2101 to make arrangements and find out more about the equipment we have available.

The Adams River Salmon Society By Darlene Koss “Calling the Salmon Home” Every four years is a dominant year for the Sockeye to return to their spawning grounds and 2018 is a dominant year. This year’s Salute to the Sockeye festival will begin on September 28 and will run through till Sunday October 21, with the Opening Ceremony taking place Sunday September 30 at the Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park in Lee Creek. Note from The President: “I would like to thank all the people who have offered support and encouragement. The CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation is offering Carmen Massey and Julie John, wise counsel in preparing for the symposium. The Mayors of all
the regional communities are all offering community support. My thanks to a host of academics at Thompson River University for their advice. Also, the Chiefs and Councils of our regional bands for their historic insight. I think the salmon festival for 2018 is going to be wonderful. There are a lot of people assisting Dr. Natalya Melnychuk with organizing the event. Four levels of government folks have stepped up to the plate as well. Interfor, and Thompson Okanagan Tourist Association, Hilltop Toyota are generous with their efforts. This is unfolding as a memorable event, but we are going to need a lot of warm bodies, expertise and financial resources. We need everybody’s input and help.

It is said the meaning is tributaries, not many fish. Many fish was on the government web pages announcing the name change … so many media outlets have been using that as a source. There will be a recording of the pronunciation, so we can practise. This is how this word is said in ‘Secwepemctsin’. Shuswap is often difficult to translate into English. Because many of the nuances don’t translate directly, and depend on context, it could have different meanings. Tsutswecw is a doubled up of creeks though. Making (Continued on page 23)

By Jo Anne Malpass Alexa Mayer is back from an “awesome experience” competing in the international cheer division of The Summit at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Alexa’s team placed 16th in the world, competing against 34 other teams and ahead of all other Canadian teams in their division. The Summit is the pinnacle event of the all-star cheerleading world, with almost 1,000 teams competing each year. The 15-year-old North Shuswap resident joined the competitive cheerleading team at Interior Freeze Athletics in Kamloops last year and her group, Frost Bite for ages 12 to 18, was one of the three Freeze Athletics teams to qualify, becoming the first teams from the BC interior to make Summit. The competitive cheerleading gym was opened in 2014 by Keri Lewis and Aly Bradford and now has 125 competitive athletes in eight competitive teams. Alexa said it was a long trip to get there, driving early in the morning to Vancouver then flying to Orlando with stops in Phoenix and Miami. They arrived at their hotel at 1 am. “It wasn’t as intimidating as we expected,” she said, having already competed at another big tournament in
Tacoma, but the Kamloops team was not used to seeing so many people at one time. The team was there for six days and they were kept busy each day, even if it was considered a day off. They did get to go to the Disney park, but “the highlight of my trip was not Disney, it was going to ESPN.” Along with the competition itself, she enjoyed talking to a lot of other teams and answering their questions about Canada. On the third day she was there, she found a cockroach in her suitcase. Despite the distress this caused, Alexa said it definitely helped with the nerves. When she was getting ready for the competition, she was more concerned about cleaning out her suitcase. Alexa said she appreciates all the community support from North Shuswap residents. “I would not have been able to go without them.” Local people brought bottles to the Scotch Creek Bottle Depot and to her family. A lot also bought raffle tickets and participated in the team’s fund raisers. “It helped a lot.” Alexa plans to continue at Freeze Athletics. There are a lot of different other major competitions and she would like to go to a different one next year.

People who build illegal trails face stiff penalties BC News Media Release The British Columbia government is reminding everyone that it is illegal to build trails on Crown land without prior authorization. British Columbians have plenty of opportunities to enjoy recreational activities in the great outdoors. Unauthorized trail construction can result in: • soil erosion or soil compaction • negative effects on water quality or water flow • slope stability concerns • negative impacts for other resource users • safety and liability concerns, due to improperly built or maintained trails and structures • the spread of invasive plants • disruption of wildlife habitat or sensitive plant ecosystems Government agencies, forestry licensees and local recreation groups work cooperatively to develop and maintain authorized trails, to minimize negative impacts on the landscape. Before anyone can build a trail on Crown land, they must first apply for permission to do so, and comply with the Forest and Range Practices Act.
Individuals or groups wishing to build or maintain a trail or other outdoor recreational facility must prepare a written proposal, and obtain provincial approval, before starting any such work. The consultation and referral part of the process ensures that the location of the trail is free of land-use conflicts, and will help build positive relationships with First Nations, user groups and stakeholders. Natural resource officers from the Ministry Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development regularly patrol Crown land and enforce provincial regulations, often acting on tips from the public. Failure to comply with legislation related to trail construction could result in a penalty of up to $10,000, a remediation order to return the area to its original condition, and/or a jail term of up to six months. Members of the public are encouraged to report illegal trails or suspicious activity by calling call 1 877 -952-7277, toll-free (or #7277 on a cellphone). They can also submit a report about a suspected natural resource violation online: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ hen/nrv/report.htm

North Shuswap
Health Centre Society www.NSHealthCentre.ca
Wishing all you Wonderful Dads
By Kris Jensen I have been a member of the Board of the North Shuswap Health Centre Society for little more than a year. It has been a steep learning curve and I am presently the Vice President and expect to be President this fall. Jay Simpson is currently the President and he has made it clear to us that he is moving on. Under his leadership, the Society has matured remarkably. Our Board has been fortunate to have such hard-working, community-minded leadership for the past 6 years. There are a number of challenges to compliment the many accomplishments. My goal for the next year will be to address in my opinion the two most pressing challenges. The first challenge is to obtain a doctor at our clinic on a “full time regular basis.” As I am sure most people are aware doctors have attended at the clinic mainly due to the rural locum program. This is a program from the Health Ministry whereby rural areas are granted a number of days for a locum. What this means is that the locum program will pay the doctor a daily fee and some other benefits such as a living allowance and pay to the clinic a percentage of the MSP billings that the locum doctor bills while they are
here. This has proved somewhat successful, and because of the abilities and talents of our staff we have made an impact on providing doctor services to our community. In my opinion, this service is not what we ultimately need and deserve in our community because I suspect that people are reluctant to chose these doctors for their full-time doctors because they are different each time and the patients don’t know if the doctor will be coming back. The hope has been that one of these doctors might chose to come here regularly but so far that goal has alluded us. So, what is needed to achieve the goal of a regular full-time doctor? To be clear, it is not to have a doctor here 5 days a week 52 weeks of the year although that would be perfect. The more realistic goal is to get one or two doctors to come here regularly on a fixed schedule so patients would know when their doctor was going to be here to attend to their medical needs. I don’t know for sure what is required to accomplish this but I suspect that we will need to have a package that is very attractive financially and otherwise because we are competing with larger centres and (Continued on page 29)

www.GregKylloMLA.ca
JUNE 2018
THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER
(Continued from page 28)
other smaller centres like us who have the same goals as we do. At present, it doesn’t seem viable that we will earn enough money from MSP from the patients that see these doctors to pay their salary and our operating costs. Perhaps as time goes on and the program as envisioned gets established, that goal will be met when people become patients of these doctors as there is a shortage of doctors not only here but in nearby areas. The society has some contingency funds to satisfy this shortfall but our ability to do this is limited so we will be engaging in fundraising efforts and a membership drive in the near future and during my term as president. I have lived in the North Shuswap for approximately 11 years and one of the things I have learned about this area is that if something needs to be done the community doesn’t look outside to get it done but the people roll up their sleeves and do it themselves. The people in our area have been very generous in the their support of the Society and in return the Health Centre is meeting some of the medical needs in our area but much more can and needs to be done so we will be looking to our members and the community to continue to support us finan-
cially as we move forward. Our second challenge is similar to that of many organizations. There is a need now for more and new members on our Board and I encourage anyone who has any interest in joining our Society especially as a Board member to contact Carol Hoffman (carol@nshealthcentre.ca). As President, I intend to work directly with doctors, who have already been here as locums and who have expressed interest, to not only see if I can persuade them to become a regular doctor here or at least to educate the Board and myself as to what kinds of incentives would be desirable to get doctors to practice here. One idea that comes to my mind is to rent a home and make it available to doctors when they are working here. We have a Fun Walk Run scheduled for Sunday, June 24th, 2018 at Shuswap Lake Provincial Park. See our ad on page 17 of this issue of the Kicker for registration details. There will be a KidZone, prizes in various categories and a BBQ. If you would like to make a tax -deductible donation to the Society, it can be made on the Society website. www.nshealthcentre.ca. I look forward to the opportunity to meet people who share the goals of the North Shuswap Health Centre Society.

Spotted Moose Aiming for Self-sustained Farming
Did you know that Canadians consume more Kraft Macaroni & Cheese dinners than any other nation in the world?
By Jo Anne Malpass “In a world of depleting resources that is constantly being filled up with toxic chemicals, there's nothing more valuable or rewarding than producing my own food, helping others to do the same and being surrounded by good people and a clean environment.� That was the motivation for Chris Pisesky when he purchased Celista Springs Ranch on Line 17 above Celista two years ago and turned it into the Spotted Moose Farm, practicing biointensive gardening and regenerative agriculture. Blessed with three creeks, many springs, and a 15-acre bog, this land was chosen because of the abundance of clean, natural water to irrigate crops and provide both humans and animals with pure drinking water. Lush cedar and birch forests, with an abundance of medicinal plants and fungi, protect those precious water sources, and there is ample cleared land to move towards a completely self sustained farm system. Spotted Moose Farm hopes to demonstrate some of the revolutionary ideas coming out of the worlds of permaculture, biodynamics, and sustainable living and homesteading, providing a model and demonstrating to other young, aspiring farmers that
the lifestyle and the poison free diet are worth the jump, and the rewards that come from providing your community with fresh, naturally grown and raised foods and working out in the sun every day, are endless. Chris Pisesky and Sandy Whinfield are your hosts at Spotted Moose farm. Along with its threeacre market garden growing a variety of crops, the 160acre farm also raises freerange heirloom pigs, ducks, chickens, turkeys, bees and friendly goats. There is a tiny house bed and breakfast available for those interested in experiencing life on a farm. The on-site store opened for the season last month. They are at the Wednesday Celista and Sunday Scotch Creek Farmers Markets, but the store is open the other five days from 11 am to 6 pm. Last year, Spotted Moose ran a CSA program but has instituted a new Membership program instead for this year. Visit the store and register with the Spotted Moose Community membership program. $50 gets you 25% off your first purchase, a free carton of eggs on the spot, and then 10% off all your purchases at the store throughout the season and access to seasonal specials. The farm is planning to (Continued on page 31)
JUNE 2018 (Continued from page 30)
provide meals from a food truck for the summer, so membership will give you the same perks, including 25% off your first purchase, and 10% off for the rest of the summer. As you drive in to the store, the market garden is visible, surrounded by high fencing with rows in 30inch raised beds with 18-inch pathways. Using biointensive gardening, a method that has come out of the small farms of Europe, the system can be maintained at a highly productive level without chemicals of any kind, even the certified organic ones. This completely natural method of farming relies on building soil fertility through crop rotations, the addition of compost and manures, and a commitment to never till the soil. Spotted Moose uses a broad fork instead of rototiller to relieve compaction. This tool, a cross between a pitchfork and a spade, relieves compaction deep in the subsoil without having to turn over the soil. Through repeated applications of worm/ compost teas as well as foliar
THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER
sprays made from plants growing on the farm, they can maintain a high fertility rate by nurturing the soil. They have built two greenhouses to start their seedlings and grow some of the heatloving plants and a shed for their microgreens, such as herbs and leafy greens. The labourintensive farm gets help from interns and short-term WWOOFers (WorldWide Opportunities on Organic Farms). WWOOFers spend about half of each day helping on a host farm and receive room and board during their visit. WWOOF is an educational and cultural exchange program, a way to learn practical organic farming and gardening skills, be part of the organic agriculture movement, and experience the heart of its culture. Chris spent five years at the University of Alberta studying the sciences and majoring in Genetics. Planning to spend a year travelling, he ended up spending nine years working on farms from Australia to Argentina. Eventually he was exposed to (Continued on page 32)

the world of permaculture and was slowly infected by its proactive approach to solving life's problems. As an example of how we could be doing better, he points to the mismanagement of phosphorous. Phosphorus is a finite resource that is widespread in the Earth's crust and in living organisms but is relatively scarce in concentrated forms. The only cost-effective production method to date is the mining of phosphate rock, but only a few countries have significant reserves of it. The top four are Morocco, China, Algeria and Syria. Reducing agricultural runoff and soil erosion, no-till farming, ter-
racing, contour tilling, and the use of windbreaks have been shown to reduce the rate of phosphorus depletion from farmland. Perennial vegetation, such as grassland or forest is much more efficient in its use of phosphate than arable land. Strips of grassland and or forest between arable land and rivers can greatly reduce losses of phosphate and other nutrients. Chris and Sandy have ideas to expand the operation in a variety of areas and are happy to share their experiences and knowledge, during their farm tours on Saturdays at 11 am and 2 pm, at 5067 Line 17 Road.

By Jo Anne Malpass Homestyle food, made and served in a North Shuswap restaurant, is back in Scotch Creek at the North Shuswap Cookhouse. The fully licensed restaurant and deck specializes in great food and great company, with daily burger and wrap specials, soups, sandwiches, fish and chips, pasta, steak sandwiches, wings and more. It also has a take-out window for ice cream, milkshakes, floats and banana splits (also available for dessert in the restaurant). A drive through window for take-out orders is planned to open by this fall. Owner/operator Lysa Wood and her family had been vacationing at the Shuswap for the past seven years. When she and her son Cody decided to make the move from Alberta, they looked at several areas and chose the North Shuswap to make their home because of its beauty and its friendly people. They purchased a home and last summer purchased the old Friends Bistro. After renovations and obtaining all the necessary permits, The North Shuswap Cookhouse opened on May long weekend. Lysa involved the community right from the beginning, running a contest last winter
to choose the name for the restaurant and giving out a $300 gift certificate. With over 50 entries offering different ideas, stories and memories, she chose a name to recognize the pioneering spirit on the North Shuswap. The pioneer settlers in the late 1880s had a separate building for all their cooking, possibly due to the heat in summer. "The Cookhouse" was similar in architectural structure to the restaurant’s building, with the same roof pitch and “the new color is so fitting and so great a color choice, pioneer red.” The pioneer cookhouse often had sod on the roof and a dinner bell at its door. In keeping with the name, Lysa installed a dinner bell, made by local artist Les Dobray. Lysa was grateful to see this community come together and be so involved with the contest. “It makes me proud to have chosen this community to do business in, and to raise my son.” Lysa and her local staff, plan to run year-round, in the summer from 6 am to 10 pm and in the winter from 6 am to 8 pm. In the winter, she plans to have some entertainment nights with local bands, TV sporting events or karaoke. Part of the restaurant can (Continued on page 35)

COMPANION ANIMAL REIKI LEVEL 1 Join Horvath’s Herbs for this very special ONE DAY event! Submitted by Rachelle Horvath Based on the Usui Reiki lineage, J Morgan – Animal Communicator, Animal Reiki Master & Medium has created a Reiki healing system designed specifically for companion animals. Cats, dogs and horses have very different stresses than humans do. In this level 1 certification course, we will learn to read animal chakras and auras, find inconsistencies and treat them. We will study animal energy bodies, animal anatomy and animal behaviour. We will learn to read and assess physical, emotional and spiritual ailments and their corresponding counterparts. There will be a study on localized energy blockages and how to locate and remove them. We will look at proper animal nutrition, integrating relevant points from basic Traditional Chinese Medicine. No previous experience necessary. Manual and certificate included. An Animal Communicator, Animal Reiki Master & Medium of 10 years, J Morgan Saifer has dedicated her spiritual practice to animal wellness of body, mind and spirit. With over 15 years of animal care experience; both hands on and metaphysical, J Morgan has dedicated her life to bridging the gap between animals and people. Through her business, Soulstice Spirit (est. 2014), J Morgan has found a platform from which to speak her truth and be a voice for animals. She currently teaches, practices and speaks about animal consciousness and wellness across Western Canada. A psychic medium, J Morgan accesses past lives and loved ones to bring forth messages of healing. J Morgan Saifer also specializes in Soul (Karma) Contract readings. As a Usui Reiki Master/Teacher of 12 years, she has become well-versed in accessing past lives and karmic patterning of those whom she reads.

By now, most people have heard about The Cloud but may be unsure how they can use it. The Cloud of course is a term used to describe online storage, accessed through the Internet. Basically, it’s a place to store anything you like on someone else’s computer rather than our own. There are basically two main reasons that the average person might want to take advantage of Cloud storage. The first would be as a backup for precious files such as pictures or important documents. Cloud storage is very secure and it is highly unlikely that you would ever lose anything stored there. The other reason to use the cloud would be to easily share files not only with your other devices but with other people as well. There are many companies that offer a small amount of Cloud storage for free with an option to purchase more. Some of the more well known Cloud service providers include Google, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon but there are several smaller players in the game as well. Dropbox, Sugarsync, Mega and Box are but a few of the many companies trying their best to grab a slice of the Cloud pie. Most of the Cloud companies provide similar services but today we will focus specifically on Google’s offering. It’s called Google Drive and it’s the service I like to use because it offers the highest amount of free storage at 15 gigabytes, works well on all platforms and has features that I personally find very useful. To get started with Google Drive, all you need is a
Google account. If you already have a Gmail account then you are good to go. Simply surf to www.google.ca/drive/ on your computer and click the button that says ‘Go to Google Drive’. You will then be prompted to enter your Gmail id and password after which you will be directed to your Google Drive page. This is the place where the magic happens. From this page you can upload or download files to and from your computer, share files with other people and even create new files. Google Drive has a built in word processor, spreadsheet and presentation program that are 100% compatible with Microsoft Office equivalents of Word, Excel and Powerpoint. This is a very handy feature that allows for editing a file on another device such as a tablet, smartphone or even on someone else’s computer. One thing to be aware of when you are navigating your Google Drive page is that is it uses both the left and right mouse buttons for navigation so use both. To access your Google Drive files from a mobile device, download the Google Drive App from the Playstore on an Android or from the App store on Apple devices. Login with your Google id and password and you will see your files. It’s that simple. Give it a try. It’s totally free and you are very likely to find it useful in some way. If you have questions about using Google Drive or any of the cloud services, feel free to get in touch. (250)955-0816 johnseymour@Lakesidetech.ca www.lakesidetech.ca

By Geri Sandor & Gord Shabbits As we are looking forward to summer, the North Shuswap Lions are gearing down after a very busy season. Besides the regular Meat and 50/50 Draws at Lakeview Center and Scotch Creek Community Center, there are two events coming up in June. Thanks to the generosity of Ian Robertson, of IRRR Painting, we will have 20 meat draws at the final Meat Draw of the season at Lakeview Center on June 23, instead of the usual 10. A big thank you to Ian Robertson. Sunday, June 17th finds us working with Captain’s Village Marina in sponsoring their Annual “On the Water Poker Run”. Contact the Marina at 955-2424 for registration information. The North Shuswap Lions and Camp Grafton Society have partnered to help more kids from the North Shuswap attend Camp Grafton. The Lions Community Youth Fund will help finance up to 10 children from the North Shuswap, at $100 each, whose parents sign them up for a week at Camp Grafton. Simply go to the Camp Grafton website to register and pay for your child to attend one of this summer’s week long camps. Upon receiving the registration and payment, the Camp Grafton registrar will contact the Lions’ Treasurer who will then contact you to arrange for reimbursement of $100 per registration. Remember, the North Shuswap Lions will only be reimbursing the first 10 kids who have a paid registration. Call Ted at 250-955-6384 if you have any questions. The Lions’ Annual Garage Sale is coming up in early September. Please contact Dianne or Chuck Fisher at 250955-0138 to arrange for pick-up of your donations. Proceeds for Lions’ fund raisers and projects go to the community. Just a
few of the many agencies\activities that benefit from North Shuswap Lions fundraising are: • Shuswap Lake General Hospital • Camp Grafton • Children’s Christmas Party • North Shuswap Elementary School Hot Lunch • Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Elections for the North Shuswap Lions Club executive were held at the Annual General Meeting in mid-April. Congratulations to the new executive; each voted in by acclamation: President - Pat Anderson, Vice-president – Brian Knipstrom, Treasurer – Marlene Kergan, Recording Secretary – Dianne Fisher, Reporting Secretary – Chuck Fisher, Membership – Gord Shabbits, Directors (two year term) Tom Price and Doug Sandor. Geri Sandor continues as a Director for her second year of the two-year term and Ted Danyluk becomes Past President. President’s Note from Ted Danyluk: At our last meeting, the club enjoyed hosting a visit from our Vice District Governor, Wayne Atkinson. During the visit the North Shuswap Lions Club received two awards from Lions International. The first was a Lions Legacy Project Award in recognition for funding the Kids Don’t Float Kiosk at the Magna Bay Boat Launch. The second was a Lions Centennial Service Award acknowledging the donation of the Portable AED for the NSCHA in Celista. The Lions need new members of all ages to help support the community.

Quaint Never Goes Out of Style The history of Chase revived through David Lepsoe’s Historic Tours Submitted by Elena Markin
The very first lot in the township of Chase was sold to William Price – surveyor at the Adams River Lumber Company on May 5, 1908. 110 years ago life in the area was very different. At first Chase had only four cars; most residents had a variety of skills supplementing their income, however they had the train and daily entertainment consisted of meeting passengers arriving at the train station twice a day - at 9 am and 9 pm. A world very different from today. On May 5, 2018 local historian and Village Councillor David Lepsoe led two historic tours of Chase. The tours were sold out, over 60 people attended, showing a great interest in learning about the history of this pic-
turesque village. David has been putting these tours since 2004. He wanted to share his passion for history with likeminded individuals and anyone interested in the culture and history of the area. David dedicated many volunteer hours and personal funds to develop the historic tours. “It is always work in progress” – he says, the booklet was a very important step. This year he added a slideshow of historic photographs revealing even more fascinating facts from the past. His partnership with history enthusiast Vic Skijie and professional event planner Elena Markin have brought up the tours to the next level. During his tour, David (Continued on page 48)

Quaint Never Goes Out of Style continued encouraged people to touch the historic artefacts – the old power pole and the façade of the Underwood Hotel. Involving the sense of touch is really valuable when exploring history, you can feel the tangible objects that generations before have touched. Sensing how important exploring history with the sense of touch and as a token of appreciation of David’s dedication to the history of the community, Vic Skijie gifted two antique chairs used by the general manager of the Adams River Lumber Company Walter Lammers and Mr. Mason – the treasurer. The chairs date from the beginning of the century and David was delighted and honoured to receive them. “When the Adams River Lumber Company closed, the town turned to tourism.” – says David. “It is now time once again to turn to tourism the village has a wonderful opportunity to showcase both - its history and its close connection with the Secwepemc communities. This, along with some new historic hiking trails, will not only show case our history, it will create a form of sustainable cultural history injecting much needed tourist dollars into the area. Every year it seems another potential Heritage house is torn down. Last year we lost the original fire hall. When
the Balmer house which was last on my Tour, was torn down last month, I thought this tour was needed to bring attention to the enormous opportunity we have here in Chase to not only save its history, as well the huge economic opportunity for the area.” A high ranked tourism professional from Ontario attending David’s tour spoke to the beauty and the historic treasures of Chase, saying “Quaint will never go out of style, and it will always attract tourists and newcomers”. We are all hoping that we can preserve the “gold mine” we have in Chase. We welcome suggestions for funding, grants and donations to further develop the historic tours and continue this educational initiative. David’s tours were attended by MLA Todd Stone and his parents and MP Mel Arnold and his wife, who were celebrating their wedding anniversary on May 5. There was a strong Shuswap Tourism presence on the second tour. All of the attendees enjoyed a beautiful sunny day, immersed in fascinating history, laughs and good time. Historian David Lepsoe thanks everyone who attended and all the businesses and individuals who continually support him and the tours.

It became, instead, and rather abruptly, a deep and shadowy twilight. And all at once the sun was swallowed up by the moon, the light slowly dwindling, the air becoming thick and oppressive, and the meager light left along the edges was somewhat ragged and forlorn. The eclipse was finally here. The shadows rising with the light retreating into tiny cracks amongst the sun. A treat for the eye, to see the light hiding from the elongating shadows. Growing longer by the second. The eclipse is now, and it is total.

Shuswap Community Foundation Closing the Gap Between Rich and Poor Submitted by Paula Shields Shuswap Community Foundation is committed to community building through strong partnerships with donors whose investments speak to the desire to live in a community focused on closing the gap between rich and poor and with charities who respond to the needs of our community.

Guided by a Board of Directors with deep roots in the Shuswap, and whose life and work experience aligns with the goals of the Foundation, SCF plays an important role in being the hub for philanthropy in our community. As economic inequality grows amidst evolving social and economics conditions it is vital that community foundations are equipped to address the needs that are important to strengthening the social fabric that ensure communities are inclusive.

Many think, that all events at the hall are fundraisers, but not so with the Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast. It’s a community event that strives to simply cover costs. Many thanks to the muffin makers, servers, kitchen cooks and clean-up crew. 30 volunteers in all (and more men than previous) put 130+ hours of time to make this day a success. Lobster Dinner is on the calendar for Friday, June 15th. Ticket sales have been brisk and another sell-out this year is anticipated. Prime Rib & Lobster will be $55.00, Lobster only $40.00, Prime Rib only $30.00. While they last, extra Lobsters will be $22.00 each. If you’re interested in going, contact Janice Fisher at (250) 955-2393 before the June 8th order cutoff date. BINGO! It’s a Monday evening social event at the hall. With the return of the warmer weather and growing summer community, an even-
ing of Bingo is a great way to join in. There is a progressive jackpot of $1,000.00 for the final game of the evening. We’ve already had an early Spring winner of the Jackpot. With luck we’ll have a June winner! There are four rotating volunteer crews that run bingo. If you’re looking for a way to help, without missing a Bingo night, then consider volunteering for hall setup or concession. Both volunteer positions allow you to still play. Finally, Bingo players must be 19 or older… And always remember your limit and play with in it. Regular programming of Needlecraft, Nia Dance, Zumba, Kangaroo Jumps and community service clubs continues. There’s always something happening at the hall.

Osteopathy (also called Manual Osteopathy), according to the World Health Organization, relies on manual contact with techniques for assessment and treatment. It respects the relationship of body, mind and spirit in health and disease; it lays emphasis on the structural and functional integrity of the body and the body's intrinsic tendency for self-healing. Always consult your MD prior to embarking on any program. Manual Osteopathy Practitioners (DOMP) use a wide variety of therapeutic manual techniques to improve physiological function and/or support homeostasis that has been altered by somatic (body framework) dysfunction, and related vascular, lymphatic, and neural elements. They use their understanding of the relationship between structure and function to optimize the body’s selfregulating, self-healing capabilities. This holistic approach to client care and healing is based on the concept that a human being is a dynamic functional unit, in which all parts are interrelated, and which possesses its own selfregulatory and self-healing mechanisms. One essential component of manual osteopathy health care is manual therapy, typically called treatment (OMT), which refers to an array of tissue mobilization techniques that may be combined with other treatments or advice, for example
on diet, physical activity and posture, or counselling. Turner Institute in Scotch Creek offers a wide variety of programs, from our General Associates and OnSite clinics, which are open to the general public and a wide variety of conditions and complaints, to specialty clinics designed specifically for adults, seniors and clients with sports injuries in support of overall health and wellness. As Manual Therapists, the Turner Institute Team is focused on health and wellness and the client’s individual health related goals. The team values the relationship they have with each of their clients, setting time aside to truly understand their clients health related challenges, their concerns, lifestyle, health history and health goals. Turner Institute uses the foundation of Manual Osteopathy - whole body healing. They work with each individual to help find the source of their particular issue and create a treatment plan and fitness program to meet their goals and get them active again. DOMPs are not part of the college of physicians and surgeons in Canada. Please consult your Doctor prior to embarking on course of action, program or treatment.

Author Jim Cooperman to speak about his popular book Now in its second printing, Everything Shuswap will be the topic for PowerPoint presentation on June 21st at 7pm at the Cedar Heights Community Centre. Jim Cooperman, a dedicated environmentalist and back-to-the-lander, spent 12 years researching and writing this comprehensive, bioregional guidebook that includes 36 maps and over 350 stunning photos. Jim Cooperman gifted the proceeds to Okanagan Shuswap School District #83, the first printing raised $24,5000 for outdoor learning. Everything Shuswap has received rave reviews in various publications. The Vancouver Sun described the book as "a compelling portrait of land, waters, wildlife and human history.” Author
and former Globe and Mail columnist Mark Hume pointed out how "Everything Shuswap should be mandatory reading for anyone who lives in or visits the Shuswap.” University of Victoria professor Michael M’Gonigle wrote in his BC Studies review, “...not just a thoughtful, wellresearched study of a region, but an on-going contribution to it.” The presentation, sponsored by the South Shuswap Historical Society, will provide an inside look into the story behind the book, explain how the publication benefits the community and provide some local history insights. Copies of the book can be purchased at local stores and will be available at the free event.

If you own in a Strata in BC you may want to read this. In BC there are 31,100 strata’s with 1.125 million
residents calling them home. 25% or 7,775 BC strata’s have filed a Depreciation Report while 75% or 23,325 BC strata’s have not filed their DR and have taken the deferral option.
The Strata deferral option was to allow for new strata’s or strata’s slated for destruction or strata’s under substantial renovation an option not to file until they were able to do so. The deferral program was not to facilitate lazy strata’s. Given the BC Provincial governments big hammer approach to
BC Real Estate topics in the last year, it’s easy for me to imagine the next big hammer could be lazy strata’s who haven’t file their DR.
There is a limited number of engineering firms in BC set up to write a Strata Depreciation Report so it’s also easy to imagine whatever the price is today for a Strata DR that the price after the big hammer falls will be much more. If you are in a strata in BC it’s in your best interest to support
any initiative to get you your DR done soon

By Helen Dalin Archery is another area of interest for CDFG club members. The local Chase and District Fish and Game Club has a nice archery area up at the gun range at 724 Turtle Valley Road. The archery field is just beyond the club house. The archery area is open most of the time except when there is scheduled Trap and Skeet shooting taking place. This is a great place to practice with any kind of bow. Archery is a great family sport. In June our local club CDFGC will be hosting their 3D archery shoot up at the range on June 2nd and 3rd, 2018. Though not a spectator sport, it is possible that some groups would allow you to accompany them through the course on one of those days if you are seriously interested in learning about 3-D archery. What exactly is 3D archery? 3-D archery isn’t just for hunters. It’s exciting for any archer because no two shots are the same. It’s meant to be played with a group of archers. The typical archery range is flat, with targets set at exact distances for practice (like up at the gun range in Turtle Valley). In contrast, 3 -D Archery takes the archery range into the woods, introduces unique angles, and creates new ways to have fun with a bow. This discipline gets its name from the threedimensional animal targets that challenge archers at each station. The targets range from small skunks to massive elk, and are set along a course that resembles a hiking trail.
Each target helps create a different shooting scenario. You might shoot downhill at a deer target, and then walk a few steps to shoot at an alligator in a swamp. The shots try to mimic the countless scenarios bow hunters could face in the field. Depending on the rules of a particular shoot, the distance to the targets might be marked, or they might not. The two 3D tournament styles are “known distance” and “unknown distance.” At the unknown distance events, you have to judge for yourself how far away the target is from the shooting stake. Being good at judging yardage is critical, because arrows can hit the target high or low of your aiming spot if you judge the distance incorrectly. The Chase and District Fish and Game club is hoping to set up a time for practice and lessons for juniors, or others who would like to learn archery, up at the range on an evening week day. Feedback on this idea is required. Parents would need to drive up and stay with their children to help supervise. No drop off and pick up later due to safety issues. Instructors will be teaching only and will not be there to supervise minors. There are a few junior compound bows available to use. Other bows are also welcome. If you have interest in this idea could you contact President Brian Lauzon at 778-2203032. If there is enough interest, support and feedback plans can be made to proceed with this idea.

Playing it safe on the water this summer Submitted by Shuswap Watershed Council It’s summer in the Shuswap! It’s a time for relaxation, enjoying lake views, boating, paddling, 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. “We have six tips that we encourage all recreationists to follow,” says Erin Vieira, program manager for the SWC, which is a watershed-based organization that works on water quality and safe recreation in the Shuswap. “The number one tip of course is to wear a lifejacket or PFD every time you go on the water. In the event of an accident or capsizing, a lifejacket will keep you afloat and buy you time before getting rescued. Just as important is to always have a sober skipper.” There are twelve lifejacket loaner stations located around the Shuswap, equipped with child-sized lifejackets, for parents to borrow on the honour system. The loaner stations are an initiative of the Royal Canadian Marine Search & Rescue, and supported by various community sponsors including the SWC. “Our other safety tips relate to boating preparedness, and practicing extra caution in cold and/or swift water,” Vieira adds. “There are lots of apps out there that boaters can download that include equipment checklists.” In early summer during high water, boaters are advised to watch for floating and partially submerged debris. “The Shuswap is surrounded by forest. It’s not uncommon to see large debris out there in the lake. Anyone doing tow sports needs to be especially vigilant,” Vieira adds. During high water, boaters should go very slowly near shorelines to avoid creating wake and damaging shorelines. The final piece of advice from the SWC is to watch – not only listen – for trouble on the water. “A lot of people don’t realize that drowning is silent,” Vieira explains. “A struggling swimmer can’t wave their arms or call for help. Swimming with a friend is the safest, and parents and caregivers need to keep a watchful eye on their young children. Don’t be distracted by a phone, tablet or book.” More information on staying safe on the water, as well as a map of lifejacket loaner stations, can be found on the SWC’s website www.shuswapwater.ca.

When Alcoholics Anonymous was born, more than eighty years ago, it was a welcome refuge for many who were trying to become sober. The organization grew and enjoyed success, but as the years rolled by, care-givers began to realize that when the alcoholic became healthy the family began to fall apart. Gradually it became obvious that the alcoholic had not been functioning in a vacuum, and the discipline of Family Systems was born. Therapists began looking at the family as a system – each member filling a specific role to keep the family intact. Addiction is a disease that affects the entire family and brings about pain in the addict and in family members. As the addict becomes more and more disabled by addiction, family members adapt to accommodate the changes in the addict. Family members develop survival roles that allow them to experience the least amount of personal pain and stress. These survival roles include the “victim” (the addict), the “enabler”, the “family hero”, the “lost child”, the “scapegoat”, and the “mascot”. In the midst of the active addiction, before recovery, family members are not generally aware that they are playing out these survival roles. The survival roles serve the function of reducing emotional pain or stress within the individuals occupying the roles, and within the family itself. These roles can be seen, not only in alcoholic families, but also in families with emotional and mental dysfunction. Survival roles allow the family members to experience less pain by creating a wall of defenses. The roles are fluid and even interchangeable as family members leave or dynamics within the family change. One of the most familiar
roles is that of the enabler or caretaker. The enabler can be the spouse, an adult child enabling the parent, or a parent enabling a child, adolescent or adult child. The enabler is usually the person closest to the addict. There is often a mutual dependence between the addict and the caretaker/ enabler. As the addiction continues to progress over time, the enabler feels more and more compelled to try to compensate for the loss of control by trying to take control of the situation. The caretaker/enabler is the martyr of the family, and often supports not only the dysfunctional behavior, but is also a prime enforcer of the codependent roles that everyone else is required to play. The paradoxical thing about the enabler's behavior is that by preventing the dysfunctional member’s crisis, he or she also prevents the painful, corrective experience that crisis brings, which may be the only thing that makes the dysfunctional or addicted person stop the downward spiral. Children who grow up in an addicted home, and have taken on dysfunctional family roles, can recover. There are many support groups out there to help those who have been affected or are being affected by addiction and dysfunctional behaviors like Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA), Alanon/ Alateen (sister programs of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA) to name a few. Connecting with outside resources like therapy, support groups, and those who understand will help the healing process take place so that a normal way of living can be obtained.

Motorcycle Safety Tips Dual Sport Riding
By Merv Sadden More and more people are buying dual sport motorcycles designed to enjoy our backroads. It is the type of riding that appeals to me. The attraction for me is that I still get to experience the freedom of riding but with less risk of encountering other motorists that may turn left across my lane or pull out in front of me. While riding backroads is safer in the context of meeting less traffic, it comes with its own risks that have to be taken into consideration. I thought I would share a few safety tips I have learned over the years As we are riding roads less travelled, it is important that we plan our ride and
share that plan with someone at home. If we fail to show up on time our family will know where to search. Also try to always ride with a buddy. Having someone immediately on site to lend a hand is just wise. Finally, always wear the proper riding gear. The backroads of our province are beautiful but often lined with trees which can present unexpected road hazards, hanging branches, obscured vision etc. Employing these tips and riding at a responsible speed should provide for a great experience. Merv represents victims of motorcycle accidents with Zak & Decker Personal Injury Lawyers in Kamloops.

Re Margaret Lindsay’s Letter to the Editor Just to add a comment to Margaret Lindsay’s ‘letter to the editor’, regarding paving, repaving of the SquilaxAnglemont road. I lived in the North Shuswap - Lee Creek, from 1992 to 2007, and even today, after so many years, nothing has changed: one excuse after another as to
why poor conditions of this road continue to exist, one ‘buck passing’ after the other. Still no one around to take responsibility for once and for all. But don’t despair Margaret…hope is eternal. Vera Gottlieb Switzerland

sented. Crowfoot Mountain, in all its seasons, is a favourite subject. A few portraits and still life paintings round out her collection. Fran is a member of the Blind Bay Painters, a group of painters who meet every Tuesday, from mid September till mid June to paint, learn and share information. Members of the group vary in their styles and mediums, with beginners to award winning artists. During the years of the Shuswap Festival of Art in Sorrento, Fran was a regular contributor to the show and served on the executive for many years. In 1995, one of her works was chosen for the Festival’s John Edgar Patterson Memorial Collection. Fran mostly paints now for friends and family but some of her work can be seen at the Blind Bay Painters Annual Art Sale and Show. This year it will be held on June 30 and July 1 from 10 am – 4 pm at Reedman Gallery in the Blind Bay Hall.

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER
Probus is Expanding in the Shuswap! Submitted by Gary Coo PROBUS CLUBs are local associations of retired and semi retired persons with professional, business or management experience and those who have had some measure of responsibility in any field of worthy endeavour who are of character and respected in their communities. PROBUS Clubs meet for fellowship, to hear guest speakers and for activities. Its basic purpose is to provide regular opportunity to promote healthy minds and bodies, and, through social interaction and activities, enjoy the fellowship of new friends. PROBUS is not a ‘senior citizens’ or ‘lonely hearts’ club. PROBUS provides a bridge from the working environment to enjoying activities with people of a like age group. PROBUS also provides newcomers ease of entry into their community. In 2017 there were over 34,350 members in approximately 240 clubs in Canada.
You will NOT be asked to sell tickets. • You will NOT be asked to help on work parties. • You will NOT be required to attend any minimum number of meetings. • You will NEVER be pressured to attend all club events. A new chapter of PROBUS is being established, as membership in the Copper Island Club is capped. We are seeking men and women and couples whose social and sporting clubs, hobbies and voluntary work still leave room for new friendships and activities. Regular meetings will commence in September - however a number of activities will occur during summer months. If you live in Chase, North Shuswap, Sorrento, Blind Bay, Wild Rose Bay, Balmoral, White Lake, Tappen and points in between, call Doug Brown at 250-803 -8930 or Gary Koo at 250377-5003 for more info.

Team Chase would like to “SHOUT OUT” a big THANK YOU to Chase and our surrounding communities. To Sunshore Golf Club, the Golfers, the amazing volunteers and all our sponsors; you have made our 8th Annual Pink Ribbon Golf tournament a huge success. Team Chase will once again be making a significant contribution to the CIBC Run for the Cure. Janice / Team Chase Member
The ‘North Shuswap Players Association’ would like to thank the community for the great support that was given to our five performances of “Always A Bridesmaids”. It was a great success. Our special thanks goes to all actors, helpers, who volunteered their time and energy. Without this great support, from our volunteers and from the community, we would not be able to produce these shows and help support our great North Shuswap.
I wanted to thank the owner Jim and the young men working at Jimco in Scotch Creek. We were heading back to Calgary after spending the May long weekend at our cabin. We had barely got on the road when our vehicle overheated. Jim and his staff tried to help us out but when they realized it was a warranty issue Jim dropped everything, loaded up our SUV and took us to the dealer in Kamloops. What a nice bunch of fellows. We are very appreciative of their help. George and Patricia La Borde
Thank you very much to everyone who assisted at the accident scene on Saturday morning (mid May)! I'm sorry we were unable to obtain the names of the woman and man who helped remove us from the vehicle but their calm manner and STRENGTH in lifting us out was amazing! Thank you to Patricia for remaining with us at the scene for moral support, to the first responders, RCMP, Ambulance drivers, Fire Department and all other volunteers who assisted in our time of need. With sincere thanks, Lloyd and Linda

School News By Jan Penner This year really has flown by and the end of the year will be here before we know it! We had some big events in May. First of all, we had grade 8 students participating in the District Track Meet, one of whom, Taylor Bochek, has advanced to the provincial finals. Congratulations Taylor and good luck! Qualifying intermediate students (gr. 4-7) will be attending their meet on June 5th. Good luck everyone! Six students took part in the District Cross Country Meet in Salmon Arm. Running were: Enia Marosi (grade 1) 10th, Chess Lebrun (grade 2) -75th, Daniel Laroche (grade 4) – 36th, Noah Sangster (grade 5) – 29th, Matty Sangster (grade 7) – 14th, and Jamie Sangster (grade 7). All the events had 100+ racers so these placings were really great. Congratulations to all those participating and to all the students who were part of the cross country running club which took place two lunch hours per week. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt for organizing the practices and to Mr. Ellis for accompanying the members to Salmon Arm. We hope that everyone who attended the annual Spring Tea enjoyed this event. We all worked very hard to create artwork to transform our gymnasium into a welcoming and cheerful forum. Congratulations to Mr. Larsen and all the students for their great performances. This opportunity to thank our families and community for all their help and support is much appreciated. Once again, a heartfelt thanks to you all. Welcome to Kindergarten date this year is June 7th. It is great to meet the children who will be entering Kindergarten in the fall and to introduce them to the classroom and some of their peers. If you have a child who will be 5 on or
before December 31, 2018, please contact the school and register them for the fall session. We would be happy to share information you missed at the orientation and would love to welcome you and your child to our school. Divisions 1, 2 and 3 had their first, year end field trip, a visit to Jump 360 in Kamloops. Everyone had an excellent time and raved about the facility and their experience. Apparently, if you are looking to use up some energy, this is the place to go! Division 4 and 5 are planning a couple of possible field trips. We are currently booked to step back in time with a journey to Haney House in Salmon Arm. It is always exciting to have new experiences, to reinforce the learning which has taken place throughout the year, and to explore facilities available around us through our field trips. The Library will be closed on June 1st so that a proper inventory can take place. If you have any overdue books at home, please return them as soon as possible. June 21st, all divisions will be going to the Salmon Arm Waterslides for a wet and wild adventure! Fun Day, rain or shine, will be on June 25th, followed on the 27th by Awards Day (start time approximately 12:30), and the students’ last day is the 28th. For more information on any of these events, please check the school website or call 250-955-2214. While there are still vehicles not observing the school speed zone, we do have some drivers slowing down noticeably. Thank-you for taking care with our children! Have a safe and happy summer everyone!

DID YOU KNOW ….. In May of 1909, Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington sat in church listening to a Mother's Day sermon. She decided she wanted to designate a day for her dad. The following year, Dodd petitioned for the holiday to be recognized in her city. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, according to the Spokane Regional Convention and Visitor Bureau.

OBITUARIES
FAGRIE Barbara Ann (nee Ramsey) It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Barbara on May 6th, at the age of 78. She was born in Simcoe, Ontario to Charles and Dorothy Ramsey, and was raised on a tobacco farm. Barbara was predeceased by her parents, and her brothers, Rudy and Norm. She is survived by her husband, Mel, children: Kim (Mark), Tracy (Cris), Brent (Jill), and grandchildren: Ashley, Lindsay, Nicole, Levi, Jacob, and Kian, as well as her siblings: Shirley, Baxter (her twin), Betty, and Bill. Barb moved to Vancouver in the summer of 1960 intending to pursue a career in hairdressing. She met Mel on a blind date, and they married 12 days later on January 13, 1961. Barb and Mel moved their young family to Ladner in 1972, spent their early retirement years in the Shuswap from 1991-2009, and moved back to the Lower Mainland to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

William John (Jack) Lebans Born - July 12, 1929,
Left to Navigate a New World - May 18, 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jack Lebans on May 18, 2018 in Kamloops. Jack was surrounded by his family when he left us. Jack is survived by his loving wife Jeannine married October 21, 1950, his daughter Jean Ann (Gordon), grandchildren Marina (Kyle), Julie Ann, Jordan, his son Nat, grandchildren Toryn, Bryden, Savanna (Dustin), his daughter Jackie, and his daughter Melanie (Brian), grandchildren Crystal (Dave), Derek, Michelle, and great grandchildren, Jenna, Trenton, Jared and Cassandra (Tanner), his brother Bruce (Sonja), and two sisters Laurel and Doris, his many nieces and nephews, and the many family friends who are considered family. Words cannot express how much we will miss you. Jack was a devoted family man; a loving husband, an amazing dad, a great brother, a wonderful Uncle, an incredible Grandpa, an unbelievable Great Grandpa, an awesome friend, a helping hand neighbour, a respected work friend, and a great model of giving to our community. He will be remembered for a great sense of humour, his love of life, his big smile, his love of telling stories, the crib and Skipbo games, and getting into a great debate on politics with anyone that was game to debate, of course over a glass of Scotch, Beer or Wine. All are welcome to attend the Service and Celebration of Jack’s Life, to be held on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Celista Community Hall, 5456 Squilax-Anglemont Road, Celista, BC. Should you choose, in lieu of flowers please donate to the Heart and Stroke, Muscular Dystrophy or the Cancer Society. “God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me”. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes the best”.
