Vote on October 20 By Jo Anne Malpass Electors of Electoral Area ‘F’ North Shuswap will be going to the polls on October 20 to elect a new director to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board. There are two candidates for the position, Will Hansma of Spallumcheen, BC/ Seymour Arm residential property owner and Jay Simpson of Lee Creek. One of the candidates will become the next elected official, “entrusted with making decisions that directly affect the daily lives of residents, families, local business owners and many others in the community,” says the CSRD candidate information.

The North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce is hosting a candidate’s forum on October 10, starting at 7:00 pm at the North Shuswap Community Hall in Celista.

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

...Kick-Back!! By Editor Jo Anne Malpass Like it or not, on Sunday, November 4 at 2:00 am, clocks will be turned back one hour to 1:00 am local standard time, also called Fall Back and Winter Time. The issue is debated twice a year, but the last time daylight savings time (DST) was not observed anywhere in BC, was in 1941, according to timeanddate.com. BC first observed DST in 1918, during WWI and has observed it in 78 years between 1918 and 2018. Under the Canadian Constitution, timekeeping laws are a provincial or territorial matter. In practice, since the late 1960s, it has been closely synchronized with the United States to promote consistent economic and social interaction. Not every town in BC observes DST. Peace River Regional District including Chetwynd, Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, remain on Mountain Standard Time year-round, after opting out in 1972. Creston has never observed daylight savings time and Fort Nelson opted out in 2014. While Germany and Austria were the first countries to use DST in 1916, a few hundred Canadians beat them by eight years. On July 1, 1908, the residents of Port Arthur, Ontario (now Thunder Bay), turned their clocks forward by 1 hour to start the world's first DST period. The idea did not catch on globally until clocks in the German Empire were turned ahead by one hour on April 30, 1916 - two years into World War I. The rationale was to minimize the use of artificial lighting to save fuel for the war effort. Within a few weeks, the idea was followed by many other countries. Most of them reverted to standard time after World War I, and it wasn’t until the next World War that DST made its return in most of Europe. It became widely adopted, starting in the 1970s because of the 1970s energy crisis. DST is now used in

over 70 countries, affecting over 1 billion people. New Zealand scientist George Vernon Hudson and British builder William Willett are credited with the idea of DST. In 1895, Hudson proposed a 2-hour shift forward in October and a 2-hour shift back in March. There was interest, but it was never followed through. In 1905, Willett suggested setting the clocks ahead 20 minutes on each of the four Sundays in April and switching them back by the same amount on each of the Sundays in September. Willett’s plan caught the attention of the British Parliament but the idea was opposed by many, especially farmers, so was never made into a law. Ancient civilizations are known to have engaged in comparable practices. Roman water clocks used different scales for different months of the year to adjust the daily schedules to the solar time. Proponents of DST argue that it saves energy, promotes outdoor leisure activity in the evening (in summer), and is therefore good for physical and psychological health, reduces traffic accidents and reduces crime. Opponents argue that actual energy savings are inconclusive, that DST increases health risks such as heart attack, increases fatal motor vehicle accidents, and that changing clocks twice a year is economically and socially disruptive and cancels out any benefit. Last year at its annual meeting, the Union of BC Municipalities endorsed a resolution to petition the Province to consult with the people of BC about abolishing DST, but the Province didn’t follow through. This year, another passed resolution directly asks the Province to abandon the practice and implement a single time zone province wide. We’ll see how that goes.

Kickin’ back with Larry Larry Morgan - Director, Electoral Area ‘F’

(North Shuswap & Seymour Arm ) Columbia Shuswap Regional District Tel: 250-955-2567 Cell: 250-517-9578 Email: LMorgan@csrd.bc.ca

Grant Received for Scotch Creek water plan update - The CSRD is receiving $10,000 from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing towards the update of the Scotch Creek Water Plan to support a feasibility study conducted. Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing wrote, “The Province welcomes the opportunity to support planning in the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. We believe that early and ongoing planning is the best way to ensure that the environmental, social and economic needs of your community will continue to be met in the years ahead.” Saratoga Water Conservation - With the completed Scotch Creek Water Master Plan and a grant application to expand the Saratoga Water System to service the Scotch Creek community, the Board endorsed a water conservation plan. This is a requirement for all water system related grant opportunities. The CSRD considered a wide range of potential measures as part of its conservation plan, and determined the following measures are appropriate for the water system now and in the future: Universal Metering Program, Water Accounting and Loss Control, Education and Water Restrictions and Enforcement in the summer months. Board Adopts Changes to Directors’ Remuneration – The CSRD Board approved changes to the bylaw which will see increases in compensation for Electoral Area Directors and Municipal Directors. The director’s net remuneration will increase on average by approximately 3.42 per cent. Electoral Area Directors will receive a stipend of $23,000, which includes pay for work in their region and for attending meetings. Municipal Directors will receive a stipend of $15,000. Changes were made to the Directors’ gross pay to offset the Federal Government’s elimination of the one-third taxfree allowance for elected officials and associated Canada Pension Plan contributions. This means the CSRD budget for Directors Remuneration will increase by approximately 11 percent. In addition to the base stipend, board

members will also receive stipends to attend specified public hearings, conferences, and meetings outside of the regularly scheduled board and committee meetings. The bylaw will come into effect January 1, 2019. It also directs a mandatory review of Directors Remuneration every four years. Asbestos Containing Material Disposal Guidelines - In October 2017, the CSRD was informed by the composting facility in Alberta that, due to uncertainties related to the potential for drywall (post 1990) to contain asbestos, they would no longer be able to accept it at their facility. This resulted in landfills in the southern interior being left with large stockpiles of drywall (potentially containing asbestos) that required appropriate handling and disposal. CSRD landfills as well as the Scotch Creek Transfer Station had large stockpiles of drywall. CSRD staff worked with counterparts from neighbouring regional districts, consultants and with Work Safe BC to develop guideline documents to ensure the public, CSRD contractors and staff are protected when disposing of the stockpiles. A Board report says all CSRD stockpiles of drywall have either been appropriately landfilled or are in the final process of being removed. The challenge in managing demolition and renovation materials, which may contain asbestos, is that residents may not know they are handling and disposing of asbestos. The goal of the newly developed guideline document is to: provide education on the risks associated with materials that may contain asbestos; protect CSRD workers and contractors and dispose of materials in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. Proposed Provincial Speculation Tax – At the request of Director Paul Demenok, the Board discussed the proposed provincial speculation tax and sent a letter to the Minister of Finance and the Premier outlining the potential effects it would have in this area. Area F Alternate Director Bob Misseghers said (Continued on page 5)

OCTOBER 2018 (Continued from page 4)

since our area is recreation and tourism based, this tax would kill our economy, if imposed here. North Shuswap Economic Development (Tourism Promotion) Service Establishment Bylaw No. 5774 – was adopted, after receiving approval from the ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The bylaw for business development, business retention and tourism promotion in Area F, which may be contracted for, will be funded to a maximum of $25,500 annually by a property value tax. Community Charter Section 57 Notices – The Board authorized the Corporate Officer to file notice in the Land Title Office against two properties, one on Lindsay Road in Area F and the other on Swansea Point in Area E. The CSRD Building Inspector provided a recommendation pursuant to Section 57(2) of the Community Charter. The registered owners of the properties were notified that this matter would be placed before the Board of Directors at its regular Board meeting on September 20, 2018 and were given the opportunity to speak to the Board in respect of the matter. With neither attending, the Board confirmed the recommendations of the building inspector and passed the resolutions. The property in Area F progressed through a posted stop work order and was completed without inspections or septic approval. The building is currently occupied without an approved Building Permit or an issued Occupancy Permit. Placing a Section 57 Notice on title will alert subsequent owners of the properties of the outstanding building regulation non-compliance. Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Zoning Amendment (Yakashiro) Bylaw No. 825-39 – was given first reading and sent to referral agencies. The applicant is planning to rebuild a new single-family dwelling on Strata Lot #8, 1022 Scotch Creek Wharf Road. The proposed building exceeds the parcel coverage for the R1 zone. The applicant is proposing a

site-specific amendment to the R1 zone to allow for a parcel coverage of 82.2%, as well as setback variances that will permit the proposed house to be constructed. Electoral Area F Official Community Plan Amendment (CSRD) Bylaw No. 830-19 and Lakes Zoning Amendment (CSRD) Bylaw No. 900-24 – The Board adopted the amendments for properties the CSRD purchased on Bristow Road to develop a community boat launch and waterfront park to serve the Celista area.  Standing Seam Metal Roofing The amendments officially change the  Prolock Metal Roofing OCP designation from Secondary Settlement Area to Parks and Protected Areas  Metal Wall Cladding and rezone the foreshore adjacent to the  Torch-On Flat Roof Systems properties from Foreshore Residential to Foreshore Park.  Custom Flashing A report to the Board says a number of concerns were expressed at a public Fully Licensed and Insured hearing on August 1.

New Program to Reduce Wildfire Risk, Impact

Ric Porteous

Press Release The new Community Resiliency Investment (CRI) program will expand opportunities for local governments and First Nations to reduce the risk and impact of wildfires by applying FireSmart principles, Forests Minister Doug Donaldson announced at the Union of BC Municipalities Convention in September. “The CRI will replace the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative with a significant acceleration in the pace of funding,” announced Minister Donaldson, confirming $50 million will be made available over the next three years, with $10 million committed for this year. For 2019, the CRI will have a scaled structure with up to $25,000 or $100,000 available per applicant, depending on demonstrated wildfire risk. Applicants may choose from a suite of eligible activities that best suit their communities’ needs and priorities. Projects funded under the FireSmart Community Funding & Support category of CRI will be for activities primarily within the applicant’s jurisdiction. “Funds for activities on Crown lands in and around communities will be in addition to these amounts,” said Minister Donaldson. “The funding gap that made it difficult for some communities to take advantage of the previous program has been closed,” he confirmed. Successful projects will receive 100% funding with no cost-sharing requirement. In addition to wildfire prevention planning and fuel management projects, which have always been important to wildfire prevention, the scope has been expanded to include demonstration projects, training, public education and community engagement, interagency cooperation and development considerations. For the first time, provincial funding will be available to First Nations for onreserve fuel management projects. Also new, funding may be used to provide incentives to private land owners to conduct FireSmart activities on their properties. UBCM will administer the program in collaboration with the BC Wildfire Service, First Nations’ Emergency Services Society and the Forest Enhancement Society of BC, assisted by the BC FireSmart Committee.

Area F Director Candidates On October 20, electors of Electoral Area ‘F’ North Shuswap will be going to the polls to elect a new director to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board. The Kicker asked candidates Will Hansma of Spallumcheen, BC/Seymour Arm residential property owner and Jay Simpson of Lee Creek to respond to three questions. 1. What made you decide to run for Area F Director and what experience or talents do you have that would help you represent the interests of the North Shuswap? 2. What do you see as the priorities for growth on the North Shuswap? 3. How important is it to involve the community in

decisions about its future and how will you accomplish that? Will Hasma 1. I decided to run for Area F director for the North Shuswap because I am concerned about the state of the infrastructure, such as roads, water systems, recreational facilities and sustainable growth. The maintenance of the infrastructure that we currently have is not adequate. We also need to enhance the opportunities for public recreation here in the North Shuswap. It is time that we provide a multi-use arena facility that also is equipped for the arts and culture and a well-equipped gymnasium. (Continued on page 12)

Area F Director Candidates continued

(Continued from page 11)

The current Official Community Plan has a lot of great ideas that need to be implemented. We as a community need to identify what type of businesses will attract more sustainable growth. A real effort needs to be made by the director of the area if we want to attract younger families to locate here. Public facilities are extremely important to the well being of any community; they bring us together. Clear direction and leadership for recreational services and affordable housing is a very important concern that needs to be addressed. I have local government experience that I would bring to the table. I served as mayor of Spallumcheen for 14 years and chair of the North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap Hospital board for five years and various other committees and boards. During my term, we were able to build facilities that addressed the concerns of seniors and young families in our area. We were able to provide significant enhancements to the roads, water infrastructure and recreational facilities. 2. In order for growth to happen in the North Shuswap, diversification of our current tax base is required. We need to attract commercial and light industrial development through an incentive program that is implemented by local government. We need to augment the current residential base so that we can encourage young families to call the North Shuswap home with family-sustaining jobs and attainable housing. The North Shuswap has a well-defined

community plan, with input from our local residents we can make it happen. Much more discussion with the local community and local business should be encouraged. 3. Decisions that affect the community other than day to day business should not be made unless the community has had an opportunity for input, it is as simple as that. I will hold public meetings where the community can provide input. I will provide updates through local media and newsletters. I am very accessible and approachable. I will work hard for the residents of the North Shuswap, and I will be accountable to you. As your director, I will be a strong voice for you. Jay Simpson 1. The CSRD could be a partner in our future prosperity, but all we seem to get are frustrations. Anyone wanting to build or change any shed or home addition has been run through the wringer of the planning department. We have met with the department heads of the CSRD and have been told "Yes, we understand your problems, yes we can streamline the red tape", and yet nothing changes. For over 20 years we've had water study after water study in Scotch Creek. It took the forming of the Incorporation Committee for the CSRD to sit up and take notice. I feel that by representing the North Shuswap at the CSRD I will be there to push for our issues on a regular and consistent basis, and make positive changes for the North Shuswap. My experience relates to working with groups of people to accomplish community (Continued on page 13)

OCTOBER 2018 (Continued from page 12)

goals. I have been Chair, President or member of a variety of groups including the Chamber, the Advisory Planning Commission and Health Centre Society. I am able to listen and relate to other people’s points of view while keeping a clear perspective about the direction that needs to be taken. I sometimes even change my mind! I've done my homework by attending most CSRD board and committee meetings over the last two years. I am on a first name basis with current directors and many of the top staff at the CSRD. I feel there is a mutual respect that will allow us to work together to accomplish the North Shuswap goals. 2. The overall priority to encourage growth is to make life better throughout the North Shuswap. To do that we need to make it easier to expand our full-time population. The 2016 census showed our population at 2454. In 2006 we had almost 300 more people living here. My goal is to grow our population by at least 100 full-time residents by the next census (just 3 years away). In order to get there, we'll need to ease development everywhere by streamlining development approvals, and in Scotch Creek with a water system and sewage treatment. We're hampered by restrictive bylaws that don't reflect the Official Community Plan (OCP). The OCP is a good document but it was developed during a high

growth boom time. It needs a review with an eye on the current situation of housing needs and development needs, while taking care of our environmental responsibilities. I will push for an Incorporation study, but we need to make sure that the whole North Shuswap benefits from a new relationship with the CSRD. 3. Getting the community involved is a top priority of mine. Suggestions from all areas, walks of life and backgrounds will be important when forming my opinions. I plan on visiting with community groups, as I enjoy watching how our community faces challenges and finds solutions. I will have open houses and coffee shop opportunities to hear feedback, opinions and strategies on the issues of the day. I plan to use website, social media and emails to keep our community informed, and solicit ideas and solutions. At times I will ask that you send letters to the 'powers' to show your concern. I will be the voice of the community on the CSRD board, and the results there will be the decisions made here. The CSRD and the Province need to know that we want to make the decisions for our community. A high voter turnout will show that we care. Encourage your friends and neighbours to join you in going to the polls. Please vote on October 20th to show the CSRD and the Province that We Care about the North Shuswap.

Meadow Creek Properties Zoning Amendment By Jo Anne Malpass The public was given a chance to make representation about a lakes zoning bylaw amendment for Meadow Creek in Celista, at a hearing September 5 at North Shuswap Community Hall. The meeting was chaired by Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area F Alternate Director Bob Misseghers with Senior Planner Dan Passmore. The proposed amendment to Lakes Zoning Bylaw No. 900 reflects a unique upland ownership circumstance. The owners of the upland property are a community association, Meadow Creek Properties Park Association. This association of upland property owners would like to amend the Multi Family 1 (FM1) zone to include a sitespecific regulation for only that portion of the lake adjacent to their property. After considerable consultation between the Association and the Ministry of Forests Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, the Association has amended their application to reduce the

overall number of docks from 12 to three. This amended regulation would allow a total of 3 docks, together with the 61 mooring buoys, 1 swim platform and the boat launch facilities that currently exist on the Shuswap Lake foreshore and were part of the original application. There are 178 upland lots in Meadow Creek and 67 members of the Park Association. Much of the discussion centered around Bylaw 900 in general, what the rules are for buoys on road allowances or buoys being grandfathered. Planner Dan Passmore explained that road allowances belong to the Ministry of Transportation and buoys are not allowed on the water in front of them. Since 2008, when the Area F Community Plan was adopted, a development permit is required before a buoy is installed. If a buoy is reported to the bylaw enforcement officer, the owner must be able to prove it was installed before 2008. In some cases, however, it is difficult to find the owner of buoys. Alternate Director (Continued on page 15)

Bob Misseghers encouraged owners with existing buoys to get them registered, to avoid problems in the future. One concern raised by a local resident, was the possibility of the number of buoys at Meadow Creek increasing. A Meadow Creek property owner explained that the buoys are all owned by the Association, they are numbered and mapped and use of them is assigned to individu-

als by the Association. Planner Passmore said this bylaw amendment would restrict the total to 61. Another Meadow Creek property owner said the Association has been actively working with government to assure everything in that area is compliant, in good condition and safe. Passmore said the CSRD Board would consider the amendment at its October 18 Board meeting.

Highway Maintenance Contract Announced Soon By Jo Anne Malpass The bidding process has closed for the highway maintenance contract for Service Area 13 – Okanagan Shuswap. A Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure spokesperson said the current contract for Okanagan Shuswap, held by JPW Road & Bridge Inc., is set to expire on March 31, 2019. The Request for Proposal for Okanagan-Shuswap was on BC Bid and closed on August 24. “The evaluations for the Service Area 13 maintenance contract are underway right now, and we are expecting to announce the results around the middle of October,” said the Ministry spokesperson. Service Area 13 goes from south of Vernon to north of Seymour Arm and from Monte Creek to Craigellachie. The area includes Areas C, D, E and F of the

Columbia Shuswap Regional District. B.C.’s highways and bridges are maintained by private contractors in 28 service areas throughout the province. The procurement process for 26 of the 28 maintenance service areas is currently underway. The Province will award contracts with a 10-year term and an optional five-year extension. Private contractors are responsible for maintaining provincial highways yearround in their service area. They repair and maintain the driving surface (such as asphalt and gravel), the roadside upkeep in addition to handling bridge and winter maintenance. Once announced, the results for each awarded service area contract can be found at: www.gov.bc.ca/ highwaymaintenancerenewal

Press Release Update from Program Managers Erin Vieira and Mike Simpson provided an update on program operations since the last meeting: • The second annual Water Quality Summary Report was completed and distributed. The report summarizes water quality monitoring results from several organizations in a single, easy-to-read format for residents and visitors. It can be picked up from libraries or government offices, or downloaded from www.shuswapwater.ca. • Two major educational campaigns for the SWC were delivered throughout the summer months, and reached over 30,000 people. The campaigns focused on safety in the water, and preventing an introduction of zebra and quagga mussels to BC. • A wetland restoration project on Gardom Creek is proceeding, led by the Gardom Lake Stewardship Society with partial funding support from SWC. The project will be complete later this Fall. Expenses to the end of the first quarter (June 30th 2018) total $58,940 against the annual operating budget of $260,350. UBC-Okanagan Nutrient Research Project Megan Ludwig, M.Sc candidate, and Dr. Jeff Curtis from UBC-Okanagan presented an update on the nutrient research being done in the Shuswap River and Salmon River. (This is a three-year research partnership with SWC). Results to-date indicate that groundwater and seasonal streams contribute the most phosphorus to the two rivers; more so than tributaries and the headwaters of the rivers. Ms. Ludwig explained that the phosphorus sources are within areas impacted by agricultural and urban development. She further explained that the amounts are normal for agricultural and urban areas, but cautioned that the Shuswap watershed is sensitive due to having very low background levels of phosphorus, and that small additional inputs could cause a significant impact to surface water quality. The research is on-going and a full report will be ready next year. The results will help inform decisions to protect water quality. SWC approves recommendation to continue programs The SWC received a recommendation from the Interim Review Committee to continue on with its programs in 2019-2020. The review process took place over the summer by a committee of four SWC members and two nonmembers. The SWC approved the recommendation.

Salute to the Sockeye Opens By Jo Anne Malpass The 2018 Salute to the Salmon opening ceremony on September 30 marked the official renaming of Roderick Haig-Brown Park to Tsútswecw. Grand Chief Felix Arnouse offered gratitude to Roderick Haig-Brown for the profound effect he left on the province he adopted. Along with many other accomplishments, as an environmentalist, he made sure the park was protected. Haig-Brown’s granddaughter, Josie, spoke for the family, saying his children are very happy the name change is taking place. Spawning of the salmon in the river and creeks is integral to the park. “A name that reflects that ancient truth sits well with us.” Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band Chief Oliver Arnouse said the new name, Tsútswecw, means tributaries or little creeks. The name change happened with the support of other Secwepemc Bands, governments and the Adams River Salmon Society. Emcee

Frank Antoine said it was an honor to see groups coming together and moving forward as one. Antoine opened the ceremony by introducing indigenous elder Ethel Billy to sing the opening song, followed by drumming and singing of the welcome song and the salmon song. Indigenous storyteller Ken Thomas told a story about bringing the salmon up the river. Fisheries and Oceans Regional Director Rebecca Reid, Okanagan Shuswap MP Mel Arnold, Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo, Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area F Alternate Director Bob Misseghers and Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association Mike Overend also made remarks. Both MP Arnold and MLA Kyllo said they first visited the park when they were children and have been returning with their families ever since. Chief Oliver Arnouse closed the ceremony with the singing of the water song, saying we must all protect our water.

By Chief Mike Engholm Well now that our summer is finished, and with the cool wetter weather of fall, the 2018 fire season comes to a close. The North Shuswap dodged another bullet with having no large-scale wildfires in our area. The last two weeks of August, I was one of an all North Shuswap crew exchange for the Telegraph Creek (fire# R91947) wildfire. This deployment had our excellent team on an engine crew. We did have one challenging day when our only escape route was cut off by the fire changing direction due to wind shift, which forced our team to stay put in our safe zone overnight. When our deployment tour was complete, that fire was 120,000 hectares in size.

As of now the BCWS has rescinded all campfire bans along with all Category 2 &3 burning bans. If you plan on burning some large brush piles this fall, please call: 1-888-797-1717 or go to: www2.gov.bc.ca and obtain a free burning registration permit and also observe the burning index. SC/LC FD call volume remains relatively low, with just a few false alarm calls, for the month of September. Our large incident, the structure fire in early August could have been a lot worse if there was any wind present. I would like to extend a huge thank you to our mutual aid Fire Dept.’s of Celista and Anglemont, along with our firefighters, for an excellent job of (Continued on page 21)

teamwork and skill. Training has picked up again at the training centre in Salmon Arm with various courses being offered. In house training has been steady with a traffic control course and lots of cross training with Celista FD and Anglemont FD. SC/LC FD has been experiencing very low membership numbers on the roster, and I would like to encourage the public to come down and join our great team. We have been on an active recruiting drive for a while. I would like to thank Colton Barker for all his hard work on taking the lead on the recruitment drive. Colton also wrote the September Kicker Fire News article (taken from our Facebook page) as I was on active deployment at Telegraph Creek. We meet every Tuesday from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, and remember that you don’t have to be a front line fire fighter to be on the dept. There are lots of support rolls that need to be filled. All the training is provided and to top it off, there is an honorarium each month. For more information, come on down to the fire hall on Tuesday evening, or call 250320-0768.

Halloween Party I would like to invite the public down to the Scotch Creek Fire Hall on October 27, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm for our annual Community Halloween Party. This year we have a special guest from Kelowna, Bubble Wonders that will be doing a performance that starts at 6:30 pm sharp. Hotdogs, drinks, treats and prizes will be given out, and the fireworks show starts at 8:00 PM. Look for our ad in the Kicker.

Anglemont By Captain Mike Sanderson Anglemont fire department would like to thank Andy Aichholz for his many years of service, thank you Andy. Celista Fire Department hosted another live burn training session which members from all three North Shuswap departments participated in. This kind of training is so beneficial for the skill building of the fire fighters and the team cooperation between the three fire departments, in the event of mutual aid calls. Anglemont fire department has welcomed three new members. If you are interested in becoming a firefighter, the department practises every Tuesday from 7 pm to 9 pm. Drop in to check us out.

Gardening & Design l Maintenance l Installation l House Checks

By Dave Smith, Vice President “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 began on September 28 and will run through till Sunday October 21, at the Tsútswecw Provincial Park (Roderick HaigBrown) in Lee Creek. Local volunteers spend hundreds of hours helping our returning Salmon as they come home to spawn, ensuring that visitors from around the World get to enjoy the amazing phenomenon of the spawning Adams River Salmon. Thanks to the selfless efforts of area volunteers this spectacular event is highlighted over the period of Sept. 28 through Oct. 21 in the Tsútswecw Provincial Park. Over 110 people donate their time and expertise sharing this Salute to the Sockeye Event. The Adams River Salmon Society volunteer board members, Society partners, the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band, BC Parks staff, Fisheries & Oceans Canada (DFO), Pacific Salmon Foundation, artisans and many local organizations and service clubs work consistently during the 12 months each year to achieve this world renown event. With the help of many volunteer hands visitors experience the visual feast of the Sockeye, the Chinook and the Coho Salmon as they return to their birth place (Pink Salmon return every 2 years). Visitors learn about the ever increasing obstacles that our Wild Pacific Salmon face

during their Life Cycle, from the egg stage, through the eyed egg stage, the alevin stage, the fry stage and finally becoming smolt and then begin their journey downstream through the Thompson River into the Fraser River and then after they acclimatize to the Ocean water they live in the Pacific for up to 3 years. As they mature Mother Nature reminds the adult salmon that it is time to begin the arduous journey back up stream against the current, no longer eating, focusing on reaching their home, the Adams River. Of the approx 4000 eggs that can be layed by each female and milted by the males, only approx 900 survive the first year of their life, moving the 500 Km downstream as freshwater fish and as they reach the mouth of the Fraser River they must adapt to the salt water in the Pacific Ocean. With 5 International Commercial Fisheries trying to catch our Adams River it is no wonder that less than 200 survive to start the return trip back up the gauntlet of fisherman along the lower Fraser River. As these salmon migrate back to their spawning grounds we are lucky to see approx 2 salmon reach their home waters. Of course, all this is conditional on weather, water temperature, water levels, water turbidity, predators and natural obstacles. Truly amazing… The Adams River volunteers invite you to join us as we celebrate the Returning Salmon. • Admission fees of $5.00/car help pay for the event • There will be a new Live (Continued on page 23)

Erosion at St Ives Community Park

www.inTechrity.ca

www.franklinengineering.ca

By Jo Anne Malpass Concerns about erosion at St. Ives Community Park have been brought to the attention of Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) Parks by the St. Ives Ratepayers Association but it doesn’t look like there will be a solution soon. Ratepayer President Miki Andrejevic asked to meet with CSRD Parks “regarding our community park's wheelchair access and the unfinished retaining wall so to prevent erosion - the land is sliding so we may lose one of the benches and may be hazardous for the park users very soon.” Ryan Nitchie, Team Leader of Community Services responded to the Ratepayer’s request in an email saying “This issue has been raised by the community previously and staff investigated

the erosion issue at the park with former Park Planner Susan Abbott who designed and supervised construction at the park. From our investigation we determined that we are not permitted to construct a retaining wall along the shoreline at this location as it is located below the High Water Mark. CSRD staff will inquire once again with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Development (MFLNRO) to confirm this position and discuss options. As you are likely aware, any construction below the High Water Mark requires permits and approvals from MFLNRO in the form of a Section 11 permit. In order to make application we would also require designed drawings and an environmental management plan (Continued on page 25)

from a registered biologist. I only mention these items to demonstrate the process that must be followed and that the solution is somewhat complex.” Andrejevic indicated the community wants to work with the CSRD but “we would like to see an interim solution and eventually follow the process and get this done properly so we can really enjoy the park.” The community is concerned the process could take more than a year and next spring, if the water gets high, there will be more erosion and more of the park, including one of the picnic tables, will be lost. Nitchie responded, “As the park is CSRD property then the CSRD would need to allocate the resources to move forward with capital works. We would be responsible for making environmental permits, engineering and design. I have assigned CSRD Parks Coordinator, Veda Roberge to look at options. I can tell you that the process won’t be quick. Section 11 permits from MFLNRO are taking months to approve as they are severe-

ly backlogged from two years of flood and fires. There is no guarantee that we will move forward as all decisions are subject to budget availability and prioritization. I think the best course is to allow us to inquire with MFLNRO. If we are even allowed to proceed then we will design up a scope of work and obtain some budget estimates.” Veda Roberge told the Kicker she was at St. Ives recently and agreed “there is certainly a significant amount of erosion happening. I’ve added this to my list and will be investigating our options with MFLNRO. Unfortunately, we are not permitted to work below the high water mark without MFLNRO approval. Once we have reviewed our options with MFLNRO we will be able to contemplate potential remedies.” Andrejevic said "We are hard at work to find the permanent and timely solution to make our park safe and enjoyable for children, residents of St. Ives and tourists who are coming to stay at St. Ives Resort from all over Canada, USA and even Europe."

Help us create a shared vision for Healthcare in the Thompson Region Press Release Primary healthcare providers in the Thompson Region are committed to providing quality healthcare for all residents. To help us accomplish this goal, we’re asking patients to join us in creating a shared vision for the future of primary healthcare in our community. From October 9 to November 15, 2018, the Thompson Region Division of Family Practice (TRDFP), with support from the Community Health Action Committee, will be conducting a quick survey asking people to share what’s important to them about primary healthcare. Survey questions cover topics like clinic access to care, patient experience, and services provided by allied health practitioners like dieticians and physiotherapists. The survey can be found at www.divisionsbc.ca/ thompson-region/ourcommunity or on paper at the North Shuswap Health Centre. Participants will have the chance to win an Apple iPad 9.7, 32GB as a thank you for completing the survey. We will also be having two open houses. Aberdeen Mall – October 12, 2018, 4:30 – 8:30PM Northills Mall – October 27, 2018, 11:00AM – 3:00PM The TRDFP will be the guest speaker at the North Shuswap Christian Fellowship Business Luncheon talk on October 18, noon to 1:00 pm. 4079 Butters Road, Scotch Creek. “Your voice will help inform the Division’s strategic planning and guide the work we do to meet our goal,” says Dr. Chip Bantock,

Physician Lead for the Division. “Your voice supports a collaborative effort to enhance healthcare and a move toward a more team-based approach to primary healthcare in the Thompson Region”. Please support us in our endeavors to be a community with optimal delivery of family medicine in BC. We want to enable quality primary healthcare that is focused on you. For more information: Rhonda Eden, Thompson Region Division of Family Practice 250-372-1621 or reden@divisionsbc.ca Background: The TRDFP is a not-for-profit organization made up of family physicians and nurse practitioners in Kamloops, Barriere, Sun Peaks, Chase, Scotch Creek and Logan Lake who work collaboratively with community partners. While the division operates as an independent organization, we are part of the broader Divisions of Family Practice initiative which is funded by a joint committee of the BC Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC. There are 35 Divisions of Family Practice in BC that encompass 230 communities. Primary care is the first point of contact you have with the healthcare system – the point where you receive care for most of their everyday health needs. It is provided by family physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses in an office, primary care centre, or a patient’s home. This includes services like support from a counsellor, advice from a dietitian, or prenatal care from a midwife.

The Fall market runs from about a week after school starts in September and ends whenever winter shows itself in late November.

The fall market is typically our second strongest market after the spring market.

The fall market Buyer is mature, no children in tow, an all cash buyer who doesn’t need a mortgage to buy, and they are intolerant of lineups at restaurants, motels and Real Estate offices. I like the fall market Buyer because they have a plan, they know what they want and they have lots of Real Estate experience so are far from green.

Transfer Station Supports Kicker Colouring Contest By Jo Anne Malpass When people leave their refundable cans and bottles at the Scotch Creek Transfer station, the contractors have been using the funds to buy things like treats for children, dog biscuits and water. Dan and Kathie Cooney, who have the contract to operate the site, wanted to use some of the funds to help the community. Site manager Misty Gladish was asked to choose a community effort to donate to. Buying gifts for the Kicker Colouring Contest and

Christmas gift door prizes was chosen this year. “I think it is a really good idea, all kids deserve to have something. I’ve heard so much about it and it’s such a positive thing for the community,” she said. Next year, another community effort will receive support. The Kicker is grateful to the Transfer station for the gifts they have purchased to give to local children at the Lion’s Christmas party on December 9.

Employer Health Tax Submitted by Greg Kyllo The new government’s Employer Health Tax is slated to replace our current Medical Services Plan (MSP) premiums, which have been deemed regressive and repressive by the current government. However, instead of developing a new system that would benefit all British Columbians, the government has simply transferred the burden of paying MSP premiums from employees to employers. The EHT affects companies and organizations that have over 50 employees or a payroll above $500,000. The EHT completely ignores a company’s profit margins and existing regulations, meaning that non-profits and municipalities are on the hook for thousands of dollars. Ultimately this tax encourages businesses to slow their growth and makes them less resilient. Closer to home, I was able to meet with a local manufacturer this past April. As a part of the tour, some concerns surrounding the EHT were brought forward. Once implemented, the EHT will cost them an extra $44,000 per year. This is not including the year that the new government will be double dipping by collecting the EHT before phasing out MSP premiums, which would bleed them for an additional $107,000 in taxes. Unfortunately this is not a unique

story across our province. Most businesses don’t have an extra $40,000 lying around, which means employers will be forced to eliminate jobs, slow company growth, or charge you more. None of which bodes well for any of us. Non-business owners, may be inclined to assume that they will end up with more money now that MSP premiums are being transferred. However, by shifting costs, we are trading an immediate benefit for longterm pain. Aside from the negative impacts that I have already mentioned, there have been several studies which demonstrate that transferring costs of the EHT onto employers, means that employee earnings will be reduced or slowed. Despite the NDP’s savings claims, the EHT will leave employees with less money in their pockets and further behind the curve. For an initiative that has been marketed as a cure-all for MSP premiums, the EHT is creating more problems than it is fixing. You cannot simply shift a massive burden onto a smaller support group and expect to come out unscathed. The expectation for businesses to be able to absorb tens of thousands of dollars in extra taxes is senseless. I am for good policy, especially one where all British Columbians come out on top, but this isn’t it.

For the last time, NO you can’t have any candy!

Support Dementia Services All Season Vacation Rentals in Seymour Arm Press Release The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is inviting North Shuswap residents to bring their friends, co-workers or customers together throughout the month of October by hosting a Coffee Break® fundraiser. Funds raised at the events will help support local programs and services for people affected by dementia, as well as enabling research into the causes of and cure for dementia. Hosting a Coffee Break® event is as simple as offering a cup of coffee, tea or other treat in exchange for a donation. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. makes it easy by sending hosts a complimentary kit with everything they need to get started – including the coffee. Hosts then pick their date, decide where they would like to hold their Coffee Break®, and invite their network. “A recipe for an outstanding Coffee Break® is an enthusiastic host, some creativity and a supportive community,” says Cathryn France, director of resource development at the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “The fundraiser is truly a wonderful yet easy way for North Shuswap and area residents to raise awareness about dementia, reduce stigma and make a difference in their community.” Coffee Break® events are unique because hosts can make them exactly what they want them to be. Not a fan of coffee? Serve tea, milkshakes or wine. Hosts can also bake treats and organize games to boost their fundraising. Local businesses can show their support in two ways: by hosting a Coffee Break® for their staff and customers, or by asking the Society for a Forget Me Not flower kit. This com-

plimentary kit includes Forget Me Not flower cardboard cutouts that will help businesses raise funds and awareness. Merchants can add the flower’s UPC code to inventory and invite customers to exchange a flower for a donation. Funds raised at Coffee Break® events will support local programs and services for people affected by dementia, as well as enabling research into the causes of and cure for dementia. The public awareness generated by these events will also help build a dementia-friendly society: a place where people affected by dementia are acknowledged, included and supported. To learn more or to register to host a Coffee Break®, visit coffeebreakbc.ca or contact Glen Mountfield at gmountfield@alzheimerbc.org or 604-742-4948. Dementia is a term that describes a general group of brain disorders. Symptoms include the loss of memory, impaired judgment, and changes in behaviour and personality. Dementia is progressive, degenerative and eventually terminal. Families across British Columbia are affected by Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. The Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s ultimate vision is a world without dementia; that vision begins with a world where people living with the disease are welcomed, acknowledged and included. Working in communities throughout the province, the Society supports, educates and advocates for people with dementia, as well as enabling research into the disease. As part of a national federation, the Society is a leading authority on the disease in Canada.

Health Centre Society www.NSHealthCentre.ca

Passing the Torch By Jay Simpson It's been a great run! Six years of working to bring the best health options possible to the residents of the North Shuswap. After 6 years as VP, Co-Chair or Chair it's time to hand the reins to someone else as I step into the political arena. As I depart the Health Centre Society I can truly say that things are much better now than when we started. We own a clinic, have doctors, though not yet full time, we have lab services and other services that were sorely lacking 4 years ago. We continue to talk to a variety of doctors about our clinic and community. As recently as this September we hosted 3 doctors and another one is visiting in early October. They are all impressed with the clinic, its facilities and the Society that supports it. Getting one person to commit is not the biggest challenge. They have their own needs and wants and we are often able to put a check beside most items on their list. But getting two people to commit, and here I'm talking of the spouse, means there are two lists of needs, and checking the items on two lists is much harder. The board perseveres. And when we're not working on doctors, we're focused

www.shuswapvacationrentals.ca

on keeping the doors open as many days as we can. With labs, osteopath, foot care and dental hygiene services, and doctors a week or two each month, the clinic is kept busy. And that's important. And it's important that the community supports those services in order to keep them here. Anyway, I pass the torch. Kris Jensen is taking on the role of Chair and he'll do a great job. It continually amazes me the things that a dedicated group of people can accomplish. From 2011 when then Area F director Denis Delisle started the whole thing, to Carol Hoffman and Anita Misseghers who were there at the start and are still going strong. In between then and now have been a whole string of caring, community minded people. One person I'll note in particular is Pat Robertson with whom I shared Chair roles, back and forth over 5 years. To all of you, it's been a pleasure to work with you. If I am elected as the new CSRD director, you will have a staunch supporter here. I look forward to a new job with new community responsibilities, but I will look back and say that my years with the North Shuswap Health Centre Society were some of my finest times.

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

Community Mourns the Loss of Annette Brausse By Jo Anne Malpass & Rhonda Ryall The North Shuswap lost one of its strongest community supporters on August 13, 2018 when Super Valu owner/operator Annette Brausse passed away after a long battle with cancer. Annette was born on October 17, 1959 in Prince George and raised in Kamloops. She began her blue collar career at the Heffley Creek general store. Before moving to the Shuswap, she owned a store in Rock Creek and then a Texaco Station in Brock, Kamloops. April 1986, she purchased the Scotch Creek Market and three years later it became the Lucky Dollar. June 2003, Annette, Tim and Amanda opened the doors to the Super Valu. It has grown from the Market with two employees to the Super Valu and a freestanding Esso station, with 40 to 80 employees depending on the season. The store became a true family business, having two of their daughters taking on major roles within the company. Annette’s daughter, Amanda Jackson is the general manager and Tim’s oldest daughter, Brittany Brausse is the office manager. Their third daughter, Ashley Horsemen, is busy raising her children. Annette had the right formula for success, setting goals and making plans to achieve every one of them. She worked hard to accomplish her dreams of a successful business. Owning her own

business was not a 9-5 job, she spent long hours working in the store wearing many hats. It is because of her hard work and determination that she surpassed her goals over the past 30 years. She won several awards of achievement for all her businesses and was featured in the Canadian Business Executive Magazine. You would often find her working alongside employees in any department that needed her help, she had a sense of pride and love for all areas of the business. Her favorite place in the store to work in was the wine department. Working in the department gave her the opportunity to socialize with likeminded wine enthusiasts and share her knowledge with those just starting their wine adventure. You knew she was working downstairs when you heard her infectious laugh echoing through the aisles of the store. When you found her, she would always greet you with a smile. As a founding member and director for 10 years of the Rural Agency Store Advisory Society, she helped to make changes in the liquor industry. The group lobbied for the RAS to be treated fairly and for a level playing field with private and government liquor stores. It is the model you see today, there is fair competition in the industry now. Along with providing a true one-stop shopping location, Annette gave back to the community in countless (Continued on page 38)

ways. She was involved in many community efforts, supporting various events over the years with donations and offering a discount to organizations when they ordered groceries for the event. One that was a huge help to community organizations was the Superfundraiser. The program allowed organizations to receive a $20 gift certificate for every $5000 in receipt totals. From 2004 to 2017, it raised $134,560 for non-profit organizations in the community. When the Parent Advisory Council needed a kitchen to cook the hot lunch, Annette stepped up and offered to have the Deli prepare and deliver the lunch, so the program could continue. The weekly hot lunch for the North Shuswap Elementary school is funded by community non-profits and Super Valu. With the help of the Scotch Creek Fire Department, she began the Hamper Society to provide food hampers to families at Christmas.

As a Director for many years, getting food to the people in need was a priority for Annette, realizing it can be a difficult time for some and receiving a hand up is always appreciated. Annette was a director of the Community Hall and on the Ways and Means Committee. When the traditional dance events weren’t raising enough to finance upgrades needed to get the kitchen up to commercial code, the committee was looking for new ideas. “I had a vision and the team got behind me,” she said. The “Spring Thing” would be a high-end wine and food tasting event that sold out every year for 10 years, an elaborate and anticipated fundraising event. She credited the fabulous donations received for the silent auction, the wineries that poured their beautiful wines, the suppliers that donated food and of course the countless hours spent by the volunteers, for making it all possible. The annual event raised a (Continued on page 39)

combined total of more than $85,000, funding many more upgrades for the Hall, including a new roof. Other community programs she sponsored included the reading program at the school and various sports clubs such as minor league baseball and wrestling. When the medical centre was fundraising to keep it open, she donated $10,000, seeing it as an important amenity for the community. She has been a long-standing supporter of the Kicker. When it began, Annette placed an ad and offered a space in the Lucky Dollar to provide the community with local news. At Christmas she let the Kicker have space in the store to display the gifts that were donated by many in the community, including Super Valu, for the colouring contests. For several years the Christmas parade has ended in the Super Valu parking lot, a place where everyone could socialize, drink their hot chocolate, eat hotdogs as well get a picture with Santa. If you visited Annette in her home, she would share her paintings with a surrealism style of fairies and other beautiful imaginative creatures. Annette spent many hours doing arts and crafts with her five beautiful grandchildren. She spoke about each of them with great joy, treasuring every moment spent with them. The pied piper of all the kids, she was a kid at heart, loving to play with all the grandchildren. She was the entertainment when the kids visited, telling imaginative fantasy stories for them to enjoy. She loved to go out on the boat with Tim, spending time at the narrows, a quiet time to unwind. When the family joined them out on the water, she would go tubing with the kids. She also enjoyed spending many hours in her flower gardens, planting and maintaining them. Annette loved and supported the community that supported her. She was successful not only because of her drive to be the best but because she wanted the best for everyone. Annette credited her business success to her team, they are the front line greeting and helping customers. She often said, “without my team and a community to support me I wouldn’t have the thriving business I have today”. Her spirit has clearly inspired the entire family, as they all help organize many important fundraisers for the community. The Kicker and the North Shuswap community are grateful for everything Annette did to support our community and offer our deepest condolences to her family and close friends. Her friendly smile, her unique laugh and her kindness will be greatly missed.

Kickin’ Tech News 3D Printing – the Next Phase John Seymour Lakeside Technical Solutions

In February 2016, I wrote an article about 3D printing. At the time, the technology was relatively new and the world was just beginning to see products “printed” rather than created using traditional means. Back then of course, the 3D printing process was limited to very specific materials only and primarily plastic, but the technology had so much promise, you just knew it would evolve quickly. Sure enough, human ingenuity has kicked in and the technology has already evolved to include other materials including food (yes, food), certain types of clothing materials and the biggie, metals. I would expect that 3D printing with metals will be huge and so I decided I would make that the main topic of this edition. But first a quick update. In the original 2016 article, the most fascinating application of 3D printing for me was in the field of medicine, where research was already moving forward in the direction of printed replacement human organs. There has now been success with human trials in this area so I find it very exciting to think about where the technology will eventually go. Imagine a patient no longer having to wait for a donor in order to replace a failing organ such as a liver, kidney or heart. The prospect is not that far off and we could see major advances within 5 years. Amazing stuff! Now let’s talk about printing with metals. Printing with soft materials like plastic is great but can only take

the technology so far. Once metal printing becomes more advanced in terms of cost and speed, I suspect we’ll start to see some major changes in the world of metal fabrication and production. In fact there are already metal 3D printers out there printing parts for airplanes, cars, trains and more. There are currently 3 distinct technologies being developed for metal 3D printing. I won’t get into how each works but suffice it to say that each has its advantages and disadvantages, and it’s very likely that eventually one will dominate over the others, as in any new technology. One interesting aspect of current 3D metal printing is that there are not a lot of companies investing in their own printers. This could be because the technology is just too new and they are taking a wait and see approach, or it could be because the cost of the equipment currently available is extremely high. Instead what is happening is that we are seeing many new companies forming that offer metal 3D printing services for not only other companies but for individuals as well. One thing for sure is that 3D printing in all of its forms is here to stay and I for one, am very interested to watch its progress. Any questions or if you are interested to learn more, feel free to get it touch. (250)955-0816 johnseymour@Lakesidetech.ca www.lakesidetech.ca

Let us restore your headlights

Thanksgiving weekend… it’s the highlight of the fall for many reasons. It just seems to be a more relaxed holiday compared to the hustle and bustle of Christmas. It’s a traditional time for family reunion. For some, it’s kids coming back from college or university… or just the right reason to gather our extended family together. It also highlights the annual change in the colour palette of the local landscape. It’s a reminder that we have much more colour than the various shades of green, brown and gray that we’ve grown used to over the summer. It reminds us of the year around beauty of the North Shuswap. While the days of fall continue to get shorter, the weather seems to be just about right... not too warm, not too cool. Most of the gardeners in our community will have completed their harvest by this weekend. Many members of our community have expressed how well their vegetable gardens performed, despite the smoky skies of August. Thanksgiving dinner is that opportunity to share the garden’s bounty, eat turkey, laugh with family and friends alike. But don’t forget to take that nap on the couch too. That’s also tradition. While there’s always something happening at the Hall, during the month of October take an hour or two to head over to Tsutswecw Park and take in the Salute to the Salmon. With this being a dominant year, the volume of salmon heading up the Adams River is a sight that never tires. The Salmon Society will have an Artisan Gallery, a souvenir market and food & beverage concessions. It’s a great way to walk off some of those turkey dinner leftovers! The NSCA Board of Director meet the third Tuesday of each month and

meetings are always open to our membership and guests. At the September meeting of the Board, Jay Simpson candidate for the local Area ‘F’ CSRD Director, requested a few minutes to speak regarding the upcoming election. Jay and his family are long time members of the association. He highlighted his desire to create a new relationship with the CRSD based on local needs. That resonated with the Board, because that what we strive to do… serve the needs of our local community. I always say it… ‘There’s always something happening at the Hall’. And this month is no exception. The North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce will be moderating an All Candidates Forum on Wednesday, October 10th at Celista Hall. This will be a great opportunity to meet the candidates and hear their position on a variety of local issues. Each candidate will present an opening statement and then be given specific questions for response. You can forward your questions in advance to info@northshuswapbc.com. The NSCA Board of Directors encourage all of our membership to take a few minutes to come to Celista Hall and vote on Saturday, October 20th. Help wanted! Are you looking for a way to become more involved with the NSCA? We are actively looking for a volunteer to join the board as our Recording Secretary. This is a limited time board appointment, which expires at the April 2019 AGM. If you can spare 5 to 10 hours of time to take notes, have experience with Microsoft Word and email, then you have the skills we need. We need your help. Please contact Tod Wilson at info@northshuswapcommunityhall.ca.

Historical Happenings By Loretta Greenough Our regular meetings of the North Shuswap Historical Society started in September. Our speaker Peg Zinck along with Don Riley and Tom Zinck gave a bit of history of Shuswap Lake Park and their experiences running the park for a number of years. The talk was filled with interesting and unusual events that they experienced in the park over the years. The ones I can print may end up in a Chronicle someday. Speaking of our new Shuswap Chronicle Vol #11. Thank you for your positive comments. If you think of articles which you would like included in another Chronicle or are interested in submitting an article, we would be very happy to hear from you. Our 2019 Calendar filled with historical photographs of the North Shuswap is now available. T & L Reflections – A Little Museum is now being winterized. It enjoyed a reasonable season considering the smoke we had this summer. The people who ventured a visit all seemed to enjoy themselves and their comments in the guest book give us encouragement to continue our endeavors, as it seems to be very much appreciated. If you haven’t yet paid a visit – mark it on your calendar for next year. Our Chronicles as well as our Calendar will be on sale at the Christmas Craft Fair in December. We meet at 2:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month in the Clubroom of the N.S. Community Hall. If you are interested in coming to a meeting, you will be most welcome.

The winners were: Colleen Leroux, Doris Hunter, and Lucille Ketemer. The other team with only one point behind consisted of Lori Miller, Irene Anderson, Lynn Miller and Maureen Overland. We then went over to The Hub for our Wind Up lunch. Seventeen members and one guest enjoyed a great meal. We celebrated Sheila Riley’s birthday.

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

Sheila Riley graciously donated $100 to the Club. It was decided that we would purchase a Trophy which would be awarded to the member who had the Most Improved Game. The first recipient is this year’s winner, Doris Hunter. I will be leaving the Anglemont area and will be unable to fulfill my 2nd year term as Captain. I found the duties challenging at times but rewarding and enjoyable. I want to thank all who helped me, Judy Weller, co-captain and especially the past Captain, Doris Hunter. The Club can look forward to Judy Weller taking over the Captain position next year. Although the official season is over, we will continue golfing on Tuesdays and Thursdays as long as the weather holds.

Chase and District Fish & Game By Helen Dalin The Chase and District Fish and Game Club Open House on August 12 was a great success and the weather cooperated for the day, keeping it cool but no rain. Many members came out earlier in the week to mow and clean up the grounds and clubhouse. Twenty members came out on the day to give their time and teach skills in archery, rifle and Trap shooting. We had almost 70 participants come out to experience the activities during the day. We had women, men and children, ages from 8 to 80, try out new outdoor activities. Some commented they had never tried any of the activities or handled any type of gun before. Others said I don’t think I have picked up a gun for over 30 years or shot a bow since I was a child. There was lots of positive feedback and many chose to sign up as members. The hot dogs and drinks were a big hit. A big thank you to all who helped make this event a great success. If you would like to see pictures of the event you can find them on the Chase and District Web Page www.cdfgc.ca at the bottom of our main page, on our Facebook Page. The CDFGC would like to acknowledge Bernie and Sheila Onderwater, longtime members who ran the Trap division for many years, attended regular monthly and regional meetings, served as Executive, and worked many Work Bees. They are moving to Salmon Arm, remaining members, but retiring from active duty. They will be missed. Thank you for all you

have done for the club over the years. Life member, Bob Mason has passed away. He was awarded this life membership many years ago for the many years he was the Club’s secretary and all the work he did for the club. He was very active in our club for a lot of years and his wife Bea was the one who was at every Banquet selling our liquor tickets. Our club would not have flourished without members like the Mason’s and the Onderwaters. The next monthly Trap and Skeet Practice is scheduled for Sunday October 14. Practice starts at 10 am for shooting Trap. Bring your own lunch. Ear and eye protection are available to borrow. Members bring their own shells but there are always some there for emergency purchase if you run out. Each round of 25 costs $5. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. A reminder that the rifle range is closed during this time. Contact Helen Dalin at 250-679-8019 for more information. We are back to regular monthly meetings at the Creekside Seniors Centre in Chase. Meetings are always the 3rd Monday of the month. The next one is Monday, October 15 at 7:30 pm. We encourage all regular members and new ones to come to the meetings. There are many, many members of our club but only 14 came to the September meeting. New ideas and input are always welcome and appreciated. Support from the membership is required to keep the club going and flourishing.

Letters to the Editor Re: “No Credibility” I would like to take issue with Mr. Kyllo’s article, regarding ‘No Credibility in Referendum process’ - Kicker Sept. 2018. Not a Swiss citizen but I have lived in Switzerland for 6 years (many years before as a teen ager) and never cease to be impressed by Switzerland’s “Peoples’ Democracy” system - which in most instances is based on the people’s right to call upon referendum to settle matters affecting all Swiss. There are some 5-7 political parties from one spectrum to the other, using proportional representation without being beholden to the oldfashioned, highly antiquated

and counter productive “First Past the Post” system. Of course, politicians of all political walks would have to surrender some of their autocracy and submit to the will of the people - which democracy is supposed to be all about We, The People… not We, The Politicians. Would a politician have the backbone to surrender some of his/her power - to benefit the electorate? Perhaps Mr. Kyllo would like to take some time and acquaint himself with the Swiss system of government. All of BC and Canada could gain from it. Vera Gottlieb Switzerland

School News By Jan Penner What great weather we had for our Terry Fox Run on September 20th. Just as students and staff went out to run, the sun broke through and beamed down on us the whole time. Thanks to the parents who came out to join us and to help with stamping to mark each lap, and to Mrs. and Mr. Schmidt for organizing the event. Thanks also to our families for their donations which totaled well over $200. New to our staff this year is Ms. Sara Haugland. She is new to our district and comes to us from a previous position in Surrey. She is really enjoying Grade 1-2 at North Shuswap School and is expecting to take up permanent residence in Blind Bay very shortly. Also new (sort of) is Mrs. Rhonda Witzke. Technically she is a returning staff member, as she spent the last weeks of June filling in for Mrs. Schmidt. She is very excited to be teaching in the 5-6 class and will also be our librarian this year. She, her husband Tim, and their 3 children live in Eagle Bay. We are very happy to have both of these teachers joining us, as well as CEA Aura Rivette, a long-time resident of Anglemont. She joins Donna and Simone to round out a fabulous CEA team. We are currently hoping to fill 1 more CEA position so our staff may yet be expanding further!

Volleyball season has just started, with practices being held at lunchtime and possibly some mornings. Thanks to Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Rosman for taking on the coaching duties for our teams. We have a number of 4 day weeks coming up in October. The 5th is a Pro-D Day, the 8th Thanksgiving and the 19th is the Provincial Pro-D Day. Toonie Tuesday, a fundraiser for Me To We, is October 23rd. Our first Bottle Drive of the year is October 27th. Tuesday, October 9th registration opens for Kindergarten, French Immersion and Outdoor Learning program for the 2019-20 school year. The Remembrance Day Assembly will likely take place on Thursday, November 8th. Please check the school website or call the office in early November for details regarding start time. We welcome all community members. If you are a veteran or know anyone who is a veteran, please contact the school at 250-955-2214. We would be honoured to have you help us observe this day. A big thanks to those drivers who are slowing down in the school zone. Your care and attention is recognized and appreciated. Keep up the good work! Have a great fall everyone! Enjoy the Salmon Run!

House Fire What an outstanding community we live in! Thank you to all the firefighters and front line people who rushed to aid and averted a potential disaster for our forest. We are sad to lose our house, built by my father and late husband Jim, sad to lose so many photos, sad to lose irreplaceable musical instruments, sad to lose the doorjamb with the dates of the kids growth, sad to lose the Bible my oma carried out of Siberia. We did not lose our home however because our home is our community, and our forest, and our jobs we go to every day. Our beach looks the same as ever down Wharf Road. We can't believe the outpouring of support from everyone and thank you all, you carried us when we were lost. Most of all we thank God that everyone is safe and we are going to be ok.

Whisk in the flour and cook until golden, about 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Add the broth, beer, broccoli, bay leaves, nutmeg, cayenne, and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until the broccoli is tender, about 20 minutes. 2. Remove the soup from the stove. Remove the bay leaves and puree in batches in a blender or use an immersion blender. 3. Return the soup to the stove and set over low heat. Stir in the cheese until melted and creamy. Add the thyme and cook another 2 -3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Ladle into bowls and top with a little extra cheddar and fresh thyme. Enjoy !

DID YOU KNOW …. Japanese awareness of ghosts goes back centuries, rooted in ideas of justice and injustice, and in a fear of unfinished business. If a person’s spirit is looked after at death, by a family providing a proper funeral, praying for that person, and visiting the grave, then the deceased is able to pass peacefully into the next world. From there, the dead look out for their still -living relatives, providing help and protection. Every year, in summer, they return to this world, welcomed by their families at the festival of Obon with food and drink, fireworks and dancing.

Roger grew up in Surrey, BC. where he enjoyed playing soccer and playing guitar in a band, while working in his father’s grocery store. He moved to Williams Lake, where he owned his own grocery store. Later he returned to Surrey, BC, working for Canada Revenue Customs and Border Service until his retirement in 2006. He spent many summers in Magna Bay and later built a cottage there. There was nothing he enjoyed more than sitting on the deck looking at the lake. Roger’s family and friends will gather at a later date to place his remains in the North Shuswap Cemetery and to celebrate his life. Online condolences may be sent to Roger’s family through his obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Joseph Henry Wood September 24, 1934 – September 22, 2018

Joe was born in Rossburn MB. He is survived by his wife Lucille, sister Margaret and step-children Lynn, Deidre, Darryl and Debbie. For thirty-seven years he served in the RCAF, retiring in 1989 as Base Chief Warrant Officer in Cold Lake AB. Joe was involved in hockey, football and curling. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing. Joe did odd jobs for friends and neighbours, expecting no compensation, telling them to “pass it forward”. In his retirement he spent many hours volunteering at the Lakeview Community Centre in Anglemont and in Salmon Arm at the SPCA and in the kitchen at the Fifth Avenue Seniors Activity Centre. Joe was a pilot with his own airplanes, flew gliders and was a glider instructor. He loved being in the air. A service to honour his life was held at the Lakeview Community Centre in Anglemont, B.C. on September 29, 2018.
