biosolids and compost, is currently undergoing a comprehensive review to ensure it remains protective of human health and the environment. Results of this review are expected soon but too late for this land application. By April 28, an on-line petition had 2346 supporters, including Premier John Horgan. The community group is also looking into getting legal representation and has started a GoFundMe page, Turtle Valley against Biosolids, to help with legal fees and other costs. Don Vergamini, Environmental Protection Officer with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change said to Chase Creek Community Association in an email: “The submitted Turtle Valley Bison Ranch indicates routine monitoring of nutrient levels will be conducted to ensure no overloading of leachable nitrogen occurs. In order to ensure additional protection of Chum Creek and Chum Lake, the Qualified Professional has implemented a setback of 60 meters from Chum Creek and 100 meters from Chum Lake rather than the minimum set

back of 30 meters required under the OMRR. We have reviewed the Land Application plan and concluded that the proposed application of biosolids complies with the requirements of the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation as such we have no reason to believe this proposal will adversely impact human health or the environment.” Although the project has received all the necessary government agency approvals, the group is asking for a higher level of scrutiny where the “use of biosolids on private land can have risks for both the land outside those boundaries, the people who live on those lands and indeed for the environment itself.” More information is available at Turtle Valley Against Biosolids on Facebook and information related to biosolids may be found on the Ministry of Environment website. Roadblocks went up April 29. Events as they unfold will be reported in the May 10 South Shuswap Scoop and the June Kicker scheduled to be released May 31.

By Editor Jo Anne Malpass As I write this, our nation’s capital city has declared a state of emergency and other eastern communities are either bracing for extreme flooding or are already dealing with it. In BC, we are already seeing dry conditions and wildfires. Emergencies happen. In any given year, the Shuswap area could experience flooding, debris flows (landslides), extreme weather and wildland interface fires, among other emergencies. Depending on their severity, your household could be on its own for several days while officials help those who need it most. Emergency Preparedness Week, May 4 – 11 this year, is an annual event designed to encourage Canadians to take concrete actions to be better prepared to protect themselves and their families during emergencies. As part of preparedness week, area residents are invited to the Scotch Creek firehall on Sunday, May 5 at 1:30 pm. A member of the CSRD Emergency Preparedness team will be on hand to discuss FireSmart - how to prepare your home and yard to be as fire safe as possible, as well as Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness and how you can help your family and neighbours be ready in case of an emergency like a wildfire. Firefighters from the Anglemont fire department will be out in the community on May 4 going door to door to offer fire smart tips and information on preparing for an interface wildfire and about Shuswap Emergency Program. They will also be giving free smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to residents who need one. PreparedBC says we should know our hazards, make our plans and build a kit. It conducted a Personal Preparedness Survey in December 2017 to understand

Franklin Pump Dealer * Canadian Groundwater Certified Pump Installers Power Snake * Drain Pressure Washer * Sewer Inspection Camera * Licensed Plumbers & Gasfitters

whether British Columbians are ready for emergencies. The results showed most aren't. Participants were asked about the risks in their region, whether they had taken steps to prepare, and if they hadn't, what obstacles were in the way. Wildfires are the top concern in the Southern Interior, with extended power outage and disease outbreak also in the top three concerns. Fewer than half of Southern Interior (45%) residents have wildfire insurance. And most of those with insurance, do not have a very good understanding of their coverage. Fewer than three-in-ten of those with coverage for emergencies such as earthquakes, wildfires and floods say that they understand what is covered 'very well'. A slight majority have an emergency response plan, but few say it is a complete plan or that is written down. Overall, 54% of British Columbians say their household has an emergency response plan, although only 13% describe their plan as 'complete'. Among those with an emergency plan, the most common elements include the location of emergency supplies (83%), what to do if told to shelter in place (72%) and family contact information (71%). Only four-in-ten (40%) have neighbourhood contact/ planning information. There are multiple barriers/ challenges to creating an emergency response plan. The top reasons given are personal laziness (27%), lack of knowledge (26%) and lack of time (22%). Few British Columbians have a 'grab and go' kit or items like shoes/gloves near their bed. Only three-in-ten (30%) British Columbians say they have a separate condensed 'grab and go' kit for an emergency and even fewer (21%) keep items such as shoes, gloves and a dust mask near their bed. If you would like to know more about planning ahead, what to do in an emergency or what should be in a ‘go kit’, go to the PreparedBC or csrd websites. Or plan to attend the meeting May 5 in Scotch Creek.

Roads, roads, roads. That's all I get these days. And that's ok. It's spring and we definitely need some work done on all of them. Hopefully by the time you read this they'll be out sweeping the gravel off the roads. I anticipate that will be done sometime before they have to put it back on. Also, potholes and pavement will have been started by now. Thanks to those who responded to my survey about Bad Road Locations (www.northshuswap.info/bad -road-locations). I'll keep feeding these to Acciona Infrastructure Maintenance monthly. They have driven the roads in the North Shuswap and are aware of the worst of them but it never hurts to remind them. So what's coming up? Well, lots of things! I had a meeting with local service groups and churches this month to begin discussions on Seniors Housing options. That was a productive meeting and we're all thinking about it and discussing it with our groups. Another meeting in June is set up to develop the ideas further. May 4-11 is Emergency Preparedness week. We'll be having a get-together for all area residents on May 5th just after the Volunteer BBQ. A member of the CSRD Emergency Preparedness team will be on hand to discuss FireSmart - how to pre-

pare your home and yard to be as fire safe as possible, as well as Neighbourhood Emergency Preparedness and how you can help your street and neighbours be ready in case of an emergency like a wildfire. This will be at the Scotch Creek Firehall at 1:30pm on Sunday May 5th. I'll be meeting with our MLA Greg Kyllo and the Regional Director for Ministry of Environment Volker Michelfelder on May 10 to discuss mosquito control. My understanding is that there will be control in Scotch Creek but I'm still trying to convince them that control is necessary in Lee Creek. Later in May is a meeting of the local Parks Committee. The agenda will include updates to Bristow Road boat launch, parks in Scotch Creek and Seymour Arm, and strategies for future trails in the North Shuswap. Coming in June should be the decision on the Scotch Creek Water System grant. It seems the province is behind in their grant reviews, no surprise. That's about it for May. I'll be out of town a couple of times this month so if I don't respond right away you could call the CSRD directly: 250832-8194 Follow me on Facebook NorthShuswap.info or the website www.NorthShuswap.info

Thompson Watershed Risk Assessment Report - Mike Simpson, Senior Regional Manager - Thompson, Fraser Basin Council, has notified the CSRD of the final 2018-2019 report, online map, and geospatial and data files for the Thompson Watershed Risk Assessment, completed March 31, 2019 by BGC Engineering is available online at www.fraserbasin.bc.ca. BGC carried out a clear-water flood, steep creek (debris flood and debris flow), and landslide-dam flood risk prioritization of the Thompson Watershed. BGC characterized and prioritized the flood, steep creek and landslide hazards in the watershed that might impact developed properties. The goal was to support decisions that prevent or reduce injury or loss of life, environmental damage, and economic loss due to geohazard events. In the assessment, BGC identified and prioritized 6225 geohazard areas encompassing over 4,000 km 2 (7%) of the watershed. About 30% of the watershed’s population, 50% of assessed building values, 30% of business locations, and most of the major transportation routes are within or cross these geohazard areas. The 2018 CSRD Annual Report was received and the 2018 financial statements were approved. Both documents are available on the CSRD website. Grants-in Aid for Area F were approved for $10,000 - Friday Night Live Society (Summer Concert series) $40,000 - North Shuswap Community Association (replace floor) $9,900 - North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce (Community Revitalization Project) $1,950 - Anglemont Fire Department Association (National Wildfire Community Preparedness Day event) $3,000 - North Shuswap Timber Days Society (Lumberjack show) Pinegrove RV Park (Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Amendment BL No. 825-38) 3rd reading motion was tabled to the April 2019 Board Meeting but will now be brought forward to a future Board meeting.

By Helen Dalin, secretary The Chase Fish and Game has been notified that our big main sign at the corner of Turtle Valley Road and Bailey Road in Turtle Valley, has been vandalized with spray paint. This sign is a new one that we just had made and put up in order to show our members where our range is located. We feel this has been vandalized in conjunction with the Turtle Valley Biosolids issue, in the Turtle Valley area. The Chase & District Fish and Game Club would like to spread the word that we not affiliated with the Turtle Valley Bison Co, or involved with the Biosolids is-

sue that is proposed for Turtle Valley area. Our shooting range is on the private property of Louis Blanc, and has been for 60+ years. The club leases this property from Louis Blanc, and pays an annual fee to do so. We would appreciate there be no more vandalizing of property of the Chase Fish and Game Club. Those signs are expensive, and now will have to be replaced by our club. (Editor’s note: Organizers of Turtle Valley Against Biosolids have condemned the vandalism and urge the ones responsible to cease.)

RCMP Chase Erratic Driving On April 1, 2019 the Chase RCMP Detachment received a report of an erratic driver west bound on the Trans Canada Highway leaving Chase toward Kamloops. Patrols were made for the vehicle reported to be a white truck with no rear licence plate. A short while later a vehicle matching that description passed an unmarked police vehicle travelling in excess of 130 kms/hr.

By Jo Anne Malpass The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure reports it is “carrying out a variety of improvements in the North Shuswap area to improve safety and efficiency for people travelling through the area.” These improvements include: • New signage at the approaches to the Scotch Creek Bridge, which includes flashing yellow lights. The signage will provide better notice for westbound travellers as they come toward the corner before the bridge. • Routine rehabilitation of the Holding Road Bridge to maintain the service life of the structure. This work will require some load restrictions at certain phases of the project. The rehabilitation started April 23 and is scheduled to continue until May 27. • An extension of the 60 km/hr speed zone at Celista to improve safety, following an engineering review of the area.

Acciona Infrastructure Maintenance Inc (AIM) Roads became the highway maintenance contractor for Okanagan-Shuswap, which includes the North Shuswap on April 1. It reports it has begun the annual road surface cleaning, sweeping gravel off the roads. The local manager for the new contractor, Gabriel Nava, has asked our local Columbia Shuswap Regional District director Jay Simpson to let him know of any areas in special need of work. Simpson has set up a form on the NorthShuswap.Info website to track the Bad Road Locations. www.northshuswap.info/badroad-locations See an issue on the road?

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

…SideKick Focus on Kicker Advertisers and Supporters By Jan Penner Josef Berger of Newscapes, was born and raised in British Columbia with a love of nature and outdoor recreation. His father, Ernst, who immigrated from Germany in the 60’s, was a millwright whose work ethic and dedication, attention to detail and many other strong characteristics, are what Josef credits as guiding him to the man he is today. Josef Berger’s work experience began at an early age, helping with the family’s massive vegetable and fruit garden, mowing, weeding, tilling, and keeping the household wood supply bountiful. As a young man, he began a cooking apprenticeship. While learning the trade, he travelled to many kitchens through out B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. This occupation and its associated life experiences concluded at the iconic Banff Springs Hotel in 1990. Josef decided on a change of trade and thought about a golf course career; thus began his next phase of life “Landscaping”. The next four years of hard work and dedication at the Banff Springs Golf Course, then moving to Calgary, gave Josef the opportunity to experience the fast paced, rapidly expanding landscape demand in both commercial and residential. Becoming a certified Landscape Journeyman Gardener in 1994, gave Josef Berger the opportunity to use his creative skills in a new way. Marrying, raising two active boys and running a business in Alberta seemed to happen seamlessly over the next 20 years. Raising his boys into men who joined the crews on many projects has been amazing and rewarding. Josef felt drawn back to B.C. and bought property in Scotch Creek in 2000, with the intent to eventually retire in this beautiful part of BC.

Josef’s main goal as a journeyman landscaper is to give people his undivided attention to detail and to build every project as if it is his own. His passion is to create landscapes that blend in with the natural surroundings to compliment the owners’ lifestyle. He feels it is critical to use local materials, be it rocks, timbers or plants. Josef has spent countless hours designing, estimating and constructing hundreds of landscape projects and has immense experience to draw from when helping a client plan their landscape. Knowing that landscaping without experience is daunting and can be very frustrating, he uses his expertise to plan, design and sketch landscape projects to suit his clients. Encouraging those with big projects and a limiting budget to consider several phases rather than trying to finish it all at once. This will allow everyone to experience the excitement and rewards a landscape project can give. Josef and his wife Toni Gales work together as Newscapes Landscaping and are committed to being valuable community members and offering their expertise to the community. In the past year, the couple has also begun training with the Scotch Creek Fire Department and looks forward to being part of helping keep the community safe. Landscaping and designing properties includes many difficult decisions and complicated execution.

CSRD Release The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) will be able to offer additional help to residents wanting to protect themselves and their property in the event of a wildfire. The CSRD was one of the successful recipients of a $100,000 grant from the Union of BC Municipalities' Community Resiliency Fund to spend on a region-wide wildfire threat mitigation and education campaign. The money will be largely spent on local projects through the promotion of FireSmart principles, which include: conducting hazard assessments of homes and properties, offering advice on ways to reduce fire risks, and considering FireSmart standards when developing properties to reduce flammability. A FireSmart contractor will be hired to act as a program coordinator for the region. The main objective will be to increase the regional district's ability to conduct FireSmart evaluations for privately-owned properties and educate the public on fire prevention efforts in interface areas. The current grant is for this year only, the CSRD is hoping subsequent grants will allow for a longer-term, sustainable program.

Our last meeting was held at the Scotch Creek fire hall with a modest turn out. We discussed various topics and started working on some more projects! Summer is just around the corner! Just when we think we are getting close to finishing a project or two, more are on the rise. You will notice the kiosks have been put together, and we are making progress adding the finishing touches. This is such an awesome addition to our community and I already see tourists stopping to have a look. South Shuswap Chamber hosted a Governance training workshop at the Quaaout Lodge. Our chamber decided to send some of our members to this training to better their knowledge on sitting on a board and how to conduct themselves. From the feedback we had, it was informative and well received. We would like to thank Century 21 for hosting a social mingle for the North Shuswap Chamber members and providing smokies, platters and some beverages.

Fortunately, it’s not difficult but it does require diligence on our part. “Zebra and quagga mussels move from one lake to another on boats and boating equipment. Sometimes, they’re too small to be seen but that doesn’t mean they’re not there,” says Erin Vieira, program manager for the Shuswap Watershed Council. Therefore, Vieira explains, boaters must take the following two steps to avoid moving invasive mussels: 1. Clean, drain and dry your boat or watercraft and trailer every time you move it out of a lake or river. 2. Stop at watercraft inspection stations. This is mandatory for boats and watercraft of all kinds, including kayaks, canoes, car-toppers, personal watercraft, paddle-boards, and sailboats. Inspection is the only way to determine if your watercraft is contaminated with tiny – sometimes microscopic – invasive mussels. If you pass a watercraft inspection station while travelling into BC with a watercraft, you must stop. In BC, watercraft inspection is done by the BC Conservation Officer service. If you have arrived at the Shuswap from outside of BC and did not have your boat or watercraft inspected, please phone the provincial RAPP line at 1-877-952-RAPP (7277) or *7277 from a cell phone before you launch. Whether you’re a visitor or a resident of the Shuswap, thank you for doing your part to keep invasive zebra and quagga mussels out. North Shuswap Community Association (NSCA) presents:

By SC/LC Chief Mike Engholm The three local fire departments are going to try something new for the Fire News article. Due to overlapping and repeating the same information on a monthly basis, the North Shuswap Fire Chiefs have agreed to take turns on a rotating schedule to write the article. In addition, this will help alleviate some of the work load that each Fire Chief is tasked with. Each dept. will input a small section of important information relating to their hall (callouts, training, special events etc.), and the writer of that month will write and submit the article. Please keep in mind though that this is a trial run and there may be a few bugs to work out along the way, but I think it will great for the long term. For the last while, it has been quiet for callouts for all three fire dept.’s, and since the last Fire News no new callouts for Scotch Creek / Lee Creek, Celista, and Anglemont. It’s great to see that the public has been doing the right things, and being proactive when it comes to fire

prevention. This spring, I have received a few calls from property owners to notify the fire dept. of slash and stump pile burns that the callers were planning after land clearing. That proactive courtesy call which gives us a heads up is very much appreciated, thank you. Training is going great, and we are at about the midpoint on the spring training calendar for weekend courses at the Shuswap Regional Fire Training Centre in Salmon Arm. Fire courses since the last write up were Strategies and Tactics, Live Fire Instructor Training, S100 / S-185 Wildland Firefighting, Interior Live Fire, and Exterior Live Fire Training. All three fire depts. send firefighters to attend courses at the Fire Training Centre and together with depts. from throughout the CSRD, learn valuable knowledge and practical skills needed to do firefighting safely. I would like to mention that Scotch Creek / Lee Creek Fire Dept. will be hosting our Annual Giant Garage Sale again on Saturday May 18, 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Folks (Continued on page 23)

Caribou Recovery Plans Spark Concern at CSRD Manure/Peat - Sand - Gravel Lot Clearing Sharon & Two-Cat Pat

250-955-6435

CSRD Media Release Expressing serious concerns with the provincial consultation process on caribou recovery plans that have the potential to result in backcountry closures, Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) Directors voted unanimously to request the province conduct more extensive consultation. The Provincial Government recently extended the deadline for feedback on these proposals until May 31, 2019, however, CSRD Directors believe this is not nearly long enough and asked for the timeline to be extended another 12 to 18 months. The Board is also seeking a consultation meeting to take place with the CSRD Board and other local governments to have their questions answered and provide them with additional information. The new joint Caribou Recovery Program proposal made between the

province and federal governments includes plans for an increase in undisturbed habitat for the endangered Mountain Caribou species, as well as a review of logging practices, heli-skiing and road rehabilitation in caribou habitat areas. It also considers predator control programs and additional caribou captive breeding programs. Directors expressed concerns regarding the program leading to potential loss of backcountry access for recreationalists, motorized or not, potential negative economic impacts to the logging industry and loss of access for trappers or guides. There was also a concern raised that if backcountry closures take place, it will be very difficult to have them re-opened for public use in the future. Gary Sulz, CSRD Director and the Mayor of Revelstoke, and Terry Rysz, (Continued on page 25)

MAY 2019

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

(Continued from page 24)

CSRD Director and the Mayor of Sicamous, led the discussion by recapping concerns heard at two public meetings held in those communities. More than 1,000 people attended these meetings and hundreds more watched the Revelstoke meeting on live streaming. While both Sulz and Rysz expressed the concern for the well-being of the caribou, they also reiterated a concern that proper consultation has not happened with other community stakeholders, especially in terms of potential financial and social impacts in areas of the CSRD where the economy is grounded in tourism and forestry. "We need to stand in the roadway on this and work together as a group. We don't want to be shut out of this process. We need to show the provincial and federal governments that this is a serious issue, and what they've done so far isn't enough," says Sulz. CSRD Board Chair Rhona Martin was supportive of additional consultation. "We need to be at the table. There will be different opinions, but if we are all at the table, we will all hear the same thing. That's important because you can't just pick and choose what you want to hear to build your cause." The CSRD will be sending a letter to the province outlining their requests.

Local Community Groups Working Together By Jo Anne Malpass A group of North Shuswap volunteers, representing several groups, sat down at the Scotch Creek Fire/ Community Hall, April 9, to discuss how they could work together to meet common goals. Volunteers from the Lions Club, First Responders, Chamber of Commerce, North Shuswap Christian Fellowship, St David’s by the Lake, Lakeview Community Centre, Better at Home, North Shuswap Health Centre and North Shuswap Community Association were brought together, with support from Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area F Director Jay Simpson. The meeting was “set up to introduce local service groups to each other in order to begin discussion and explore various social service opportunities in the North Shuswap. The hope is that by getting to know each other we will find common ground, goals, projects that we can work on together, to bring greater strength and opportunities to the people of the North Shuswap.” After each group listed

off an impressive amount of activities to support our community, they discussed what they saw as priorities moving forward. Along with health care and trails and recreation activities for both adults and youth, one of the main needs identified going forward, is for senior housing and housing affordability. The Lions Club started looking into a legacy project two years ago and has done some research on affordable housing for seniors. To get government support, this type of project would need to be located close to shopping, pharmacy, medical centre and library. It would also need community water. A committee from the group was set up to do further research on requirements. Another common issue facing all the organizations is a shortage of volunteers. A second committee was set up to investigate ways to encourage more people to get involved with the community, whether long term or just for short term projects. With agreement on the benefits of working together, the group plans to meet again in June.

NDP has a ’Change of Heart’ on LNG and Other Issues By Greg Kyllo MLA for Shuswap For years while they were in opposition, BC NDP MLAs mocked our former BC Liberal government mercilessly for our vision on liquefied natural gas (LNG). While our BC Liberal team saw billions in revenues and thousands of jobs for British Columbians on the horizon, the NDP laughed us off. John Horgan himself said in 2015, “I would stop spending all my time talking about an industry that's going nowhere.” Well fast-forward to today, where we see the nowNDP government has completely reversed course on the issue. Suddenly, LNG is an industry worth pursuing— so much so, that the NDP brought forward legislation offering tax benefits to industry that even exceeded what our former government was offering! It’s quite a change in tune, considering they accused us of giving away the farm and selling out. They’ve also changed their minds on the issue of hiring local workers versus temporary foreign workers. Despite the fact that years ago, then-Opposition leader John Horgan urged, "we should make sure... that if we invite someone to take that product from the

ground, they hire British Columbians and Canadians to do that" – today those guarantees are in question now that the NDP is in government. Finance Minister Carole James recently admitted the number of British Columbians working on the LNG Canada project could range from just 35 to 55 per cent of the total workforce. Our caucus also obtained a government briefing note that shows plans have been made to expedite the use of foreign workers. So clearly, the NDP is abandoning its former position on the matter. After much questioning of the NDP’s LNG tax legislation, our caucus supported it because we continue to believe strongly in the benefits that a thriving LNG sector will bring to the province. But it’s stunning to see John Horgan and the NDP’s dramatic about-face on this issue, after the years of mockery and criticism they levelled at our former government. As John Horgan and his government flip-flop on this and other issues, it makes you wonder what else they will conveniently change their minds about as they learn that being in government is a lot harder than being in opposition.

Avoid blame; use “I” statements to express your feelings Communication is the foundation to all healthy relationships and with effective communication, we can work through all sorts of situations. Healthy communication can bring people together, create happiness and keep us healthier. Words are powerful and how we use them can be harmful and destructive so it’s important to look at how we talk to one another as our language turns into our behaviour. Did you know that there is a direct correlation between damage in the brain and the ability to communicate effectively and that changes in communication have a direct link to changes in behaviors? So, if we are care givers to someone living with Dementia it is extremely important to understand that behavior is a form of communication. Changes in the brain due to Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease are often interpreted as problems with a person’s ability to communicate and changes in their behaviour. But behaviour is a type of communication so it is important to understand what someone’s behaviour actually means. There are effective strategies to determine what a person with Dementia might be trying to communicate through their behaviour and communication strategies for caregivers to respond in a supportive way. If you are a caregiver of someone living with Dementia or if you are just interested in learning more about behaviour as a form of communication, please join us and the Alzheimer Society of BC for an informative workshop, “ Understanding Communication & Behaviour” on Thursday, June 6 from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm at Scotch Creek Community Hall (Fire Hall).

It seems every year around this time, scammers become more active than usual and I get a few frantic calls from those who got caught. It’s almost like there’s a club of lowlife scumbags out there who hold an annual spring drive every year, and test out their latest scam techniques on unsuspecting victims. Scams come in a few flavours. We’ve all received the phone calls at some point telling us that our computer has a virus and is sending our personal information out into the world. The latest calls warn you that you haven’t paid your taxes and are about to be arrested!! Seriously? Fortunately, I think most people are onto the phone scam now so I don’t hear as much about that type but they do still happen. Just remember that no legitimate company or organization will ever call you about computer problems. In fact, they don’t even know you have a computer but are simply playing the odds. Most modern scam attempts are done through email or while surfing the Internet. Email scams are tempting because they are designed to look very real. It may appear to be from your bank, from iTunes or from Paypal. Again, the scammers do not know which bank you use or if you use those other services. They work on the odds by sending emails to many in hopes that a few will bite. For example, if you receive an email about a package from UPS and you happen to be expecting one, it is

very tempting to believe it’s legit, but it’s usually not. The best course of action is to delete any emails that seem suspicious. Usually you can open the email safely to check it out, but do not open any attachments or click on any links inside. The most common scam I see these days is the browser redirect scam where your screen fills with a scary message about your personal information being stolen. It will usually contain a phone number for you to call to help you ‘fix’ the problem. Quite often your computer will appear to be completely frozen. It’s really not frozen but the scam uses an overload technique that makes it appear so. Dealing with this situation is a little trickier because the message will not go away on its own. If you know how to access Windows task manager, you can close the affected browser but the simplest solution is to simply power off your computer. You won’t be able to do that the normal way, but you can force a power off by holding the power button until your computer turns off. Usually when you power back on, the scam message is gone and no harm done. As long as there are computers in the world, there will be scams. Don’t become a victim. Be wary of everything and if it appears suspicious, it could very likely be a scam. Feel free to get in touch if you are unsure or have any questions.

CSRD, RDNO, Splatsin Make Progress on Rail Trail Initiative CSRD Release The opening words from Kukpi7 Wayne Christian of Splatsin accurately summed up the spirit of the entire Sicamous-to-Armstrong Rail Trail Corridor Interjurisdictional Governance Advisory Committee at a meeting held March 15 at the Splatsin Community Centre. Kukpi7 Christian, who was elected Committee Chair, spoke of the value of advancing the project for the entire region, likening it to a team of horses. "We need to pull together in the same direction. Now let's harness up and get going." Clearly in agreement with Kukpi7 Christian's sentiment, the committee approved a series of recommendations to assist in advancing the project. These recommendations will be taken back to the Boards of both the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) and the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO), as well as the Splatsin Band Council for approval. The CSRD approved the recommendations at the March 21, 2019 Board meeting and the RDNO Board approved the recommendations at their April 3, 2019, Board meeting. The recommendations will be part of the next Splatsin Council agenda. Some of the recommendations set the foundation of the working relationship between the three partners, as well as the priorities and processes involved with the project. This includes a Memorandum of Understanding and Terms of Refer-

ence for the committees involved. The Committee endorsed the Terms of Reference and immediate establishment of a Technical Operational Committee to be comprised of staff from Splatsin, CSRD and RDNO. The Committee also endorsed appointing the Shuswap Trail Alliance to serve as Secretariat to the Governance and Technical Operational Committees. To assist in addressing property and access issues in the CSRD and RDNO, the committee recommended empowering the Chief Administrative Officers (CAO) of both regional districts to make land tenure agreements under specific conditions. There are already more than 200 known agreements dealing with land leases, crossings, access and easements to be addressed. In order to fund the trail, grant applications totalling approximately $13.4 million have been made to Provincial and Federal programs, with the outcomes pending. The timeline of work on the project rests heavily on obtaining grant funding for project planning and development. As such, Kukpi7 Christian, along with CSRD Board Chair Rhona Martin and RDNO Board Chair Kevin Acton intend to arrange meetings with Federal ministers to lobby for funding approval. The undeveloped Rail Trail Corridor remains closed to public use at this time. The next meeting of the committee will be May 17, 2019.

By Jo Anne Malpass The North Shuswap’s friendly community gathering place with great bargains opened May 1 for the season and will operate every Wednesday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm until October 30. One of the volunteers, Gloria Goodchild, said the thrift shop at St. David’s on the Lake in Celista, sees many happy people each week, gathering together to see the wide variety of items available. The Thrift Shop helps out wherever there is a need in the community, along with providing a social atmosphere and support for those using the facility. St. David’s calls the volunteers, Angels of the Thrift Shop. A 2013 article posted on their website says “Mildred (Millie) Dalin and Frankie Brown hold the honour of being the two early Thrift Shop “angels” still in our congregation. Among others remembered are Mabel Code, Eileen Fogarascher, Kathleen Behnsen, Connie Mackenzie, Vera Elleschuk, Kay Turner and Jessie Stringfellow. When asked about the Thrift Shop beginnings, Millie commented that it “just sort of started.” The first “sales event” took place in the basement of the new church in the early 60’s. It was a one-day event at which they sold baking, clothing and “odds and ends.” Millie thinks that they may have held one in the spring and one in the fall for a few years. Then they went into “full swing.” Connie Mackenzie recalls proudly telling people that they had washed and

ironed all the clothes—can you imagine doing that now! There were not the vast piles of items then, and they were generally priced at no more than 25 cents; and $1.00 was a very big ticket item! The North Shore was quite sparsely populated in the early years, and people who did live here were watching their pennies carefully. Therefore, sales in a day probably totalled only around $20 - $30; but the purchases people made provided them with much needed clothing and small household items.” Over the years, many people have been involved in the operation of the thrift shop, helping in a variety of ways. Those on the committee for 2019 include Kathleen Lucas (chairperson since 2012), Audrey Obyashi, Kath Rowbotham, Gloria Goodchild, Marguerite Heichert, Ron McFarland, Lynn Bryan, Ann Chow, Shirley Fricker, Colleen Reynoldson and Darlene Volk. The 2013 article explains why they are referred to as Thrift Shop Angels. “First, they provide a wonderful service and outreach to the community by making items available at bargain prices. Also, the Thrift Shop is a gathering place and gives people a social outing. Their donations to a variety of community organizations and needs have helped many people. And secondly, in the earlier years, without the financial support of the Thrift Shop, St. David’s would not likely have survived, as there (Continued on page 39)

MAY 2019

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

(Continued from page 38)

just wasn’t enough money coming in to cover building maintenance, heating and electrical costs, etc. Monies from the Thrift Shop have gone towards a new water system, upgraded furnace, painting of the outside of the church, carpentry work, world wide missions givings and community donations.” Gloria Goodchild said several organizations in the community and beyond, have received donations. These include Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge, First Responders, Better at Home, Women’s Safe House in Salmon Arm, NS Elementary School and NS Community Hall, to name a few. Funds have also been used to help local people during personal tragedies. Not content to just help local people, items are donated to the Kamloops Mission to help people in need there. Clean and saleable donations are gratefully accepted; but please, no large electronics or furniture as the shop is very limited in space. Drop off donations on a Wednesday and you may discover other items of interest to you.

Do you own waterfront property on Shuswap or surrounding lakes? Stay informed with SWOA Shuswap waterfront owners are faced with new and changing regulations from all levels of government. Working together through SWOA provides an effective voice to address these issues.

By Gerry Shea The Anglemont Estates Golf Course opened for play over the Easter long weekend. The Anglemont Men’s Golf Club will start the Thursday night men’s play on May 2. We play every Thursday, shotgun start at 5:00 pm, followed by supper. Once a month, there will be a special night competition, i.e. 3 club night or Stableford scoring night, etc. Every Thursday night, five hole prizes, such as “closest to the hole” and “longest putt” are available to be won. The club is grateful for the donation of prizes by our various sponsors. Members also compete for low net and low gross honours. New members are always welcome. Club membership includes access to Golf Cana-

da’s handicap calculation program. For more information, contact Craig at the course, 250-955-2323 or Gerry Shea at 250-9550365. There will be 20 men’s nights, ending on September 12.

Anglemont Ladies’ Golf By Judy Weller A huge thank you to Bev Shea for hosting our Ladies Club pot luck lunch and new rules bash. We enjoyed great food brought by all and watched the new golf rules explained on videos. They are a lot easier to understand when you see them displayed. Any golfer interested in seeing these new (make the game move along faster) rules, just go to Golf Canada and you will find videos. Of course, if your game does not include a lot of rules then you are all set without watching any videos. The course opened on

Easter Weekend and the ladies are invited to come out at 1:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays until opening day, to play with no organization. We are very much looking forward to opening day May 16, 2019. Play starts at 10:00 am, with a lunch offered by Craig after our game for any who wants to purchase it. QUOTE: Bobby Jones, American Amateur Golfer: “GOLF IS A GAME THAT IS PLAYED ON A FIVEINCH COURSE, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR EARS.” Cheers for now.

By Debbie Seymour, Executive Director North Shuswap Chamber We are pleased to announce our three Tourism Kiosks are completed and the project is coming to a close. The first kiosk is shared with the South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce and is located at the Race Trac Gas. The Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band is working with both Chambers to beautify the area and provide information for the panels. The second kiosk is at the Hub parking lot across from Shuswap Lake Provincial Park and the third is on the grounds of the North Shuswap Community Centre. Each kiosk is a little bit different. The information on them is more applicable to the area it is in. There is a large map of the North Shuswap with key indicators of important recreation and tourism venues on one side with smaller maps specific to their area on the opposite side of the kiosk. Information for Shuswap Economic Development with Chamber member listings, Calendar of Events, Top 10 things to do in the

North Shuswap, some with Historical Articles and photos provided by Loretta Greenough, North Shuswap Historical Society. Beautiful photos provided by Janis Smith Photography. Each one will have holders that will have brochures produced by Shuswap Tourism on an annual basis. In addition to Janis Smith and Loretta Greenough, there were many people involved in this project we need to recognize. To the South Shuswap Chamber whom originally designed the kiosks and shared their vision and engineering drawings with us, CSRD for supporting the project and providing grant funds for us to move forward, Steve Maclean -Shuswap Country Builders for building the structure, Kari Wilkinson-Toliver Design for working with us to design the panels, High Impact Printing who printed the aluminum panels, Jason MartinsonTriton Docks and Don Lauzon who provided the aluminum frames required and then to John Seymour, Rob Pawluk and Rob Froese who mounted the panels and installed. Finally to those willing to let us place them on their property. Thanks so much!

PARADISE PIZZA SEASON 3 We’re coming into our third season and what a crazy ride it has been! There have been many learning lessons, each year we try and do this a little better than the last. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and support as we navigate business in this wonderfully diverse community. We are very grateful for the many lovely people and friends we have met here. Delivery! We started offering delivery last year. After some trial and error, we have decided on a 13-minute driving distance, which allows us to service Lee Creek, Scotch Creek, and most of the Celista area. We have also selected two meet-up spots for customers residing outside of the delivery area, at the Sunnyside Market in Celista, and the Davis Road mailboxes at Magna Bay. Delivery fees range from $4 to $10. Local Loyalty Rewards Program. In appreciation of our local community, we have set up a rewards program that offers you a 10% discount on the pizzas you purchase, which you earn in points credited to your phone number. You can then use these points to get a free pizza! If you’ve been ordering from more than one phone number, please let us know and we will combine your accounts. More Pizza Options. We serve a diverse community and so we are doing our best to provide more options that will accommodate specific dietary requirements. Our “Gluten Free” crust has been well received and continues to grow in popularity. We will be introducing a new pizza to our menu this season, “The Paradise Skinny”, a more delicately topped, thin crust pizza with all the robust flavor of our original. We will also be researching a “Keto friendly” crust for customers who are looking for low carbohydrate options. “Grab n Go” Lunch Specials. We are continuing to improve our lunch service. From 12pm to 2pm we will have a minimum of 4 different pizza options, including a vegetarian, and small salads ready to “grab and go”! During the summer months we will also have a selection of wings and boneless ribs available. Beginning Mother’s Day weekend, we will be open for lunch on Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. Then open every day at noon during July and August. Hours. Thank you, once again, for your patience as we continue to try and be open to serve you as many hours as we possibly can.

Waterway Houseboats is again presenting a summer kick-off free May long weekend concert, this year featuring The Stampeders. The concert, free to all boaters, takes place in the middle of the lake (Cinnemousun Narrows) on Saturday, May 18, exact time TBA. Last year was a first for Waterway, with the Trooper concert so large. In response to a question about its sound system from last year, Waterway reports on its Facebook page, “There were also some drifting and wind issues, which we will address. We learned a lot and there are

some great improvements this year.” Waterway also welcomes Mt. Begbie Brewery as a major sponsor. The Stampeders — Rich Dodson, Kimberly and Ronnie King, were one of Canada's top rock bands of the '70s. Hailing from Calgary Alberta, the Stampeders went on to become a household name between 1971 and 1976, with four songs reaching Top-30 in the U.S and ten Top-5 singles in Canada. They recorded nine albums, many achieving gold and platinum status. Sweet City Woman has since become a classic and a standard in the (Continued on page 45)

Spring Concert Announced Press Release ROOTSandBLUES and The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society are pleased to announce that MonkeyJunk frontman Steve Marriner will be performing solo at the Salmon Arm Legion on Wednesday, June 5. On a hiatus from the award-winning MonkeyJunk, the multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter is currently on a national tour playing harmonica and singing backups for Colin James. Last week Stony Plain Records released Marriner's latest project, a duo effort with his onetime mentor Harry Manx. Titled ManxMarriner Mainline, the album features songs by both artists and interpretations of classic blues tunes. The album has already received a four-star review in the prestigious jazz/blues publication

Downbeat. The concert stop in Salmon Arm is part of a two-week tour that cuts through Alberta and B.C. with Marriner playing guitar and harmonica. Marriner hosted what was arguably the hottest blues workshop in the history of ROOTSandBLUES last August when he hosted an amazing set featuring his fellow MonkeyJunk bandmates, Fleetwood Mac's Rick Vito, Colin James. and Big Dave McLean. There's no reason to think this dynamic young artist won't be firing on all cylinders again. Doors at the Salmon Arm Legion will open at 7 p.m., showtime is 8. Tickets and info at Roots and Blues office in person or by phoning 250-833-4096 or by going on line at www. rootsandblues.ca.

By Carmen Tayles Lakeview Community Centre is a backbone of Anglemont and surrounding communities and it thrives because of our volunteers. Our volunteers run the Centre. Without them, the Centre would cease to exist. That is why the Board at Lakeview Centre is asking each and every one of their members to consider volunteering. If you don’t have a ton of time, that’s ok, we will take whatever time you are able to give. We have developed a plan that consists of subcommittees in all different areas of operation. Perhaps there is an area of interest to you. All we are asking, is for you submit your name and phone number and decide on your area of interest. You will be added to the list and called upon time to time to see if you are available to help at one of the Centre’s events. It is our goal to get enough volunteers in every area of operation so we will not have to ask you to help very often. Here are the different subcommittees: Family Day Event, Maintenance, Kitchen / Food, Clean Up / Tear Down, Set-Up, Entertainment, Decorating, Snow Removal, and Bar Service. The Board is also in need of an Events Coordinator and a Secretary. Events Coordinator: With subcommittees in place, the Event Coordinator will call the lead of each subcommittee

to deliver information required to run scheduled events. The Event Coordinator ensures all areas of need to run a successful event are filled. Note: This does not mean that the Event Coordinator needs to be present for every single event. Secretary: Required to take notes at meetings, type out minutes of meetings, and may be required from time to time to write letters and / or emails on behalf of the Board. If any of these subcommittees or positions appeal to you and you enjoy using your local community centre, we encourage you to get involved. Please e-mail lakeviewcommunitycentre@gmail.com with your information, or you can add your information to the sign-up sheets located on the main floor bulletin board at the Centre. A BIG THANK YOU to all Volunteers for the hard work and dedication you have put into Lakeview Community Centre! It is always greatly and deeply appreciated!

Plans For Revelstoke Adventure Park Moving Forward CSRD Media Release Plans for the development of an adventure park in the Revelstoke area are advancing through the Columbia Shuswap Regional District's Zoning and Official Community Plan amendment process. At the Thursday, March 21, 2019 Regular Meeting, Directors approved first reading of two bylaws which would redesignate properties north of the CP Rail main line to Resort Commercial status and incorporate them into a comprehensive development zone. The adventure park is planned to include recreational activities such as hiking, trail riding, bungee jumping, rock climbing, zip lining, ropes course and mountain biking. A main feature of the development would be the eventual creation of a lake that offers surfing on manmade waves, as well as swimming and boating opportunities. The plans also call for offering a range of accommodation options including hotels, tourist cabins, an RV Park, campground and yurts. Food services and retail operations are also incor-

porated. In November 2016, the CSRD Board approved redesignating and rezoning a number of the properties on the south side of the CP Rail line for the Revelstoke Adventure Park. This new application would allow for the inclusion of these additional lands on the north side of the railroad tracks into the overall development plan for the park. It would also align the proposal with approvals already received by the Agricultural Land Commission. The proposal will now be referred to a number of other agencies for consultation including Provincial ministries, Interior Health, the City of Revelstoke and all relevant First Nations Bands for review before it returns to the CSRD Board table for second reading. It is not known how long this process will take, and no date has been set for consideration of second reading. More information on the proposal is available the CSRD's website at www.csrd.bc.ca as part of the March 21, 2019 Board agenda.

Time to Talk Ticks

Contact Rob at 780.886.4071

robp@celistacabinetry.ca @celistacabinetry

Interior Health Spring has arrived and people across the Interior Health region are spending more time outdoors. This can mean an increase in tick bites. Ticks are small bugs, about the size of a sesame seed, which feed on the blood of humans and animals and, sometimes, transmit diseases. Ticks are prevalent throughout the Interior and are typically found in tall grass and wooded areas. They are easiest to spot on a person or pet when they are actually sucking blood. Ticks burrow part way into the skin, bite, draw blood, and then drop off. The feeding tick's mouth will be under the skin, but the back parts will be sticking out. When they are full of blood they are usually blue-grey in colour. This is called an engorged tick. Tick species and symptoms General symptoms of tickborne infections include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash. The species of ticks most commonly found through Interior Health are Wood Ticks (Dermacentor andersoni). These ticks do not carry the Lyme disease bacteria; however, they can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Ixodes ticks (Ixodes pacificus or Ixodes angustus) are the species that transmit Lyme disease. They are more common throughout coastal B.C. but may be present in some Interior Health areas. While less than one per cent of Ixodes in B.C. carry Lyme disease, it is important to recognize the symptoms. In addition to fever, headache, and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bull’s eye” target which expands from the site of the tick

bite. Certain ticks may release toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis if left attached for several days. Once the tick is removed, symptoms fade. What to do It is important to remove ticks found on people and pets. To do so, wear gloves and use needle nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Pull the tick straight out without squeezing it. After it is removed, clean the area with soap and water. If the tick is alive (live ticks can be tested for Lyme disease), you can save it in a sealed container with a cotton ball soaked in water. Record the date of the bite on the container. If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic. Although most tick bites are harmless, it is important to watch for signs of illness and see a doctor as soon as possible if you notice a bull’s eye rash or other symptoms. If you saved the tick, bring it with you to your medical appointment. Fortunately, a number of precautions can be taken to prevent tick bites and tickrelated illnesses. For example, you should: • Walk on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas. • Cover up by wearing a hat, long sleeves, and pants. • Wear light-coloured clothing to help spot ticks easily. • Tuck pant legs into socks or boots. • Apply insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin. • Check clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live. Ask someone to help check hard-to-reach areas. (Continued on page 55)

MAY 2019 (Continued from page 54)

Have a shower after returning from areas where ticks may live. • Regularly check household pets for ticks. To help keep ticks away from your home and yard, you can: • Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds. • Keep a buffer area such as •

wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas. • Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard. • Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house. • Widen and maintain trails on your property

The

one stat that is the very important to me is who is involved in selling the listings because that relates to what value we are to buyers and sellers.

Historic Tours of Chase Submitted by Elena Markin An historic tour of Finn Flats/ Currie Flats in Chase with David Lepsoe is planned for Sat., Jun 22 from 1 pm – 2 pm. Join us for an afternoon 45-minute, 1 km walk learning about the history of Chase! This tour covers the history of the Finns, who worked for the CPR. They lived in what became known as Finn Flats in Chase, along with some of the men who contracted work for the mill. The tour starts at 1 pm by the Chamber Sign (Map Board) on the corner of Shuswap Ave. and Coburn St. and ends at Chase Museum. Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at Chase Museum or online on Elite Events BC Facebook page. All proceeds will go to Chase Museum.

101st Falkland Stampede The 101st Falkland Stampede runs May long weekend, from the 18th to 20th, featuring rodeo events, parade, dance, trick riders and heavy horse pull. The event started after the war in 1919, as a picnic which has grown over the years into a three day rodeo. The Stampede’s website describes the history. “In celebration of the war's end, the residents of Falkland and surrounding area planned a large picnic. They came by wagon, buggy, horseback and car to visit with friends whom they'd not seen for months. The children were doubly excited with the advent of races, lots of food and homemade ice cream. On the date of March 24, 1919, in the gyp field in

the north west corner of the townsite, they gathered.” The event grew over the years and in 1938, eleven acres west of the townsite was purchased for a recreational and stampede grounds. Falkland's little rodeo turned professional in 1969 and was registered with the C.P.A (Cowboys Protective Association). Today the three-day Falkland Stampede ranks in calibre among the top twelve in Canada. Professional Cowboys participate for prizes worth over $50,000. Thousands fill the bleachers with people from all over the world coming to take in this jam packed, fun filled Stampede.

By Jan Penner North Shuswap School’s Talent Show was well received. Our guest audience was small but appreciative. Mr. Rosman reminded us all how much courage it takes to get up on the stage to perform and we are very proud of the students who put themselves out there. We are very proud of our students too, as they were a very respectful audience. Their help was much appreciated on the staff medley finale, Baby Shark. Well done everyone! Divisions 2 and 4 have been out gardening. They have tidied up beds and are planning to do some planting as soon as the weather allows. A big bouquet to Ms. Haugland, Mrs. Witzke and their grade 1/2 and 4/5 students for their hard work and cooperation. Little Mountain Stomp, the annual district cross-country run date is May 9th. Just prior to that is the Grade 8 Track and Field, May 7th, in Kamloops. The Grade 4 -7 District Track and Field event takes place June 4th. Good luck to all our participants. We will post results in June/July issues. Division 1 Bottle Drive is May 4th. Thanks to everyone who donated to the drive. Remember, Doug and the staff at Scotch Creek Bottle Depot are always happy to accept your bottle donations for the drive/school at the depot itself. Just tell them the bottles are for Division 1 and they will credit the account. Again, thanks to everyone for their support. A reminder that Criminal Record Checks must be completed and filed with the school if you are to help with programs in the district. Driver’s abstracts are also necessary if you are driving for sporting events or field trips. It may seem like an awful lot of red tape but we need to understand that the

children’s best interests and safety are the reason for these changes. Thank-you for your time and effort with these matters. May 22nd there will be a Math Parent Night held at North Shuswap School. On the slate will be thoughts and ideas related to the new curriculum. The District is sharing these with teachers and parents as they are designed to help students build a solid understanding of math concepts, starting in Kindergarten, that can be expanded each subsequent year. Come out and see how you can support your budding mathematician! Please check the school website or check with the school office at 250-955-2214 for more information. May 28th is our annual Spring Tea. This is our opportunity to thank all the people who help with programs, make donations and support the staff and students in so many others ways. We hope to see lots of you in the audience. A number of field trips are scheduled for May and June. Parents, make sure you are checking planners and newsletters to ensure your child is properly prepared for any outings. As the weather warms, remember hats and sunscreen! A huge, over-the-top thank-you to Spooner Electric. They donated, not only funds towards the purchase of our new score clock, but also donated labour and materials for its installation. This project would have been so much harder to accomplish without you! Some drivers are really taking the school speed zone to heart! Thanks so much to those of you slowing down. Enjoy the month of May everyone!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Yes, it’s today! How fast can you glue macaroni into a bracelet?

Children’s Festival Set For Camp Grafton By Jo Anne Malpass The Children’s Festival at Camp Grafton in Magna Bay is set for Saturday, May 11 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. Along with providing information to children and their families about the opportunities available on the North Shuswap, the festival will showcase the natural beauty of the camp with its waterfront swimming area, acres of trees and creeks, trails and diverse plant life. Camp Grafton offers a full range of summer camp programs for children and youth. Shoulder season

and some summer weeks are available for use by the community at large. Everett Loberg is spearheading the festival. The Funny Farm Petting Zoo, home to rescued animals, and Horvath’s Herbs and Friendship Garden are two of the organizations involved in the event. Plans are to have hot dogs available on site and although a key note speaker has not been confirmed, Interfor from Adams Lake has expressed interest in speaking about forest conservation. If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please call Everett Loberg at 250 833 2905.

Curtain call for the 2016 Passion Bowl Drama Camp show, “Into the Unknown” By Jim Cooperman This year will be the sixth season for the very successful Passion Bowl Drama Camp at Lee Creek. For one week, during the middle of July, approximately 16 boys and girls, aged 8 to 17, enjoy a week long, day camp experience that includes movement, voice, improvisation and acting workshops and rehearsals that culminates in a full production on Saturday evening. Past shows included “Into the Unknown,” an exciting mystery comedy about two sisters lost in the mysterious woods; “Scenes from Mt. Olympus,” a

zany version of classic Greek myths; and the “Y People,” a comedic science fiction thriller. This year’s show, a spooky comedy set in a summer camp, is being written by award winning, singer-songwriter Ruby Bruce and will be directed by a team led by Ruby, who was the assistant director for the previous three years. There are openings for up to six more children for this year’s camp, which runs from July 15th to July 20th. The fee is kept low, at just $120 for the week. To register or for more information, contact Jim or Kathi Cooperman at 679-3693.

DID YOU KNOW …. Your mom’s affection isn’t just good for your heart and soul — it also nourishes your brain. Researchers conducted imaging scans on nearly a hundred 7 to 10 year old’s in an ongoing study of childhood depression, and found that those whose mothers were the most supportive and nurturing had larger hippocampi than those with less empathetic or compassionate moms. The hippocampus is an area of the brain involved in memory and learning, both of which are key to childhood development and academic performance.

Helen was brought up in Kitsilano and married Robert Gardiner in 1949. In 1954 they bought a lot on Gleneagles Golf Course in West Vancouver and built a home where they raised their 3 children. Helen and Bob spent all their summers at the Shuswap until they moved permanently to Anglemont in 1972 to develop their property at Gardiner Point. The point was first purchased by Bob’s father Harry Gardiner in 1925).

Helen and Bob sold their home on the point in 1978 and built a new home at Fransen Creek (between Melo Beach and St. Ives where Bob’s brother Harry had homesteaded 16 acres in the 1930’s).

Bob died in 1983 and Helen continued living at Fransen Creek until selling in 1994 and moving to North Vancouver. Helen then built a small cabin on a waterfront lot close to the original house where she spent all her summers until she was 92. Helen was the consummate home maker and hostess; friends and family were always welcome at her summer cabin on the Shuswap enjoying great meals and fun times. Mom’s late afternoon ritual always started with a gin and tonic on the deck before dinner. Helen will be lovingly remembered by her children; Grant, Lynn, and David, her 5 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Helen’s Celebration of Life will be at the Capilano Golf and Country Club on May 4, 2019 from 1 to 4pm.
