Have Your Say About Parks The first round of community consultations for the new Area C Parks Master Plan will occur from September 20th to September 23rd 2016. The schedule of public community consultations is as follows: Date Time Place Tues Sept 20 7pm Sorrento Memorial Hall Wed Sept 21 7pm Blind Bay Comm. Hall Thur Sept 22 7pm White Lake Comm. Hall Fri Sept 23 7pm Sunnybrae Comm. Hall There are many good reasons why you should participate in these public consultations. The previous Parks Plan has been completed and is out of date, so it is appropriate now to develop a new vision and plan for the future. This Parks Master Plan is intended to guide the development of parks and recreation in the
South Shuswap for the next 10 to 20 years. The direction and content of this new plan will largely be influenced by the inputs provided by participants at these public engagement sessions. If you have a desire to see improvements made to existing facilities, or if you would like to see new recreational opportunities made available in this community, this is the time to step up and have your say. From talking with many Area C residents it is evident that there are different recreational needs and wants across the South Shuswap. This is why we have arranged for a series of meetings in different communities. In addition to these public meetings, additional inputs will be gathered through interviews with key stakeholders. Further opinions and ideas will also be obtained at kiosks that will be placed in a num-
ber of parks across Area C. Parks represents one of the largest single expenditures made by the CSRD in Area C and for good reason. It’s welldocumented that parks provide significant benefits to their communities. For example, a paper put out by the Trust for Public Land in the US outlined 7 major factors that have been quantified regarding the economic benefits of parks, including: enhanced property values, increased tourism spending, direct savings to residents with free access to parks and related low cost recreational opportunities, health benefits and savings associated with increased activity, improved community cohesion and social capital warding off antisocial problems and their costs, and environmental savings associated with both reduced water and air pollution. Given the many benefits of parks and recreation to our overall well-being, I would encourage everyone to participate at these public engagement sessions. I look forward to seeing you there.

CSRD and Province Collaborate to Remove Boat By Paul Demenok The CSRD and the Compliance and Enforcement Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations have agreed to collaborate and share resources in order to fund the removal and disposal of a houseboat that has been submerged in the Eagle Bay area. At its August meeting, the CSRD Board approved the use of grant-in-aid funds from Electoral Areas C, E and F of up to $2000 to cover the tipping fees. The other costs associated with the removal and demolition of the boat will be covered by the province. It has taken many months of effort to arrive at this collaboration. The problem is that there is no clear legislation assigning responsibility for the removal of abandoned or derelict boats from our waters. The registered owner actually sold this houseboat many years ago, but the purchaser never had the registration changed. Perhaps we need some stronger legisla-
tion to compel new boat owners to have the appropriate registration done in a timely manner. The Ministry of Environment in this case noted that it is primarily concerned with environmental impacts, and as this houseboat had been submerged for some time, their view was that it did not pose a serious environmental hazard. As it is likely that whatever oil and gas was on board has been washed away by now, there may not be an urgent environmental concern at present. I was a bit astonished with this line of thinking from our MoE. Transport Canada also examined this situation and decided that the houseboat posed no threat to navigation. I would like to thank and acknowledge the Compliance and Enforcement Branch for their practical and sensible participation in solving this problem. At the time of the Scoop printing we were able to see the removal of this houseboat accomplished.
250.679.5440 A houseboat that was submerged near the 3400 Block Eagle Bay road was finally removed at the end of summer season.

Chamber of Commerce News By Karen Brown, General Manager Tourism Kiosks Nearing Completion Last month, we reported that the South Shuswap Chamber is piloting a new concept in the delivery of visitor services. A series of tourism kiosks are being installed at key points along Hwy 1, on the waterfront and in local parks and meeting areas in the South Shuswap. Steve McLean of Shuswap Country Builders, the contractor on this project, has reported that four kiosks have been installed and the info boards will be mounted and available for viewing within the next week or so. Each kiosk contains lake system maps, suggested itineraries and places to visit in the South Shuswap, as well as a full Chamber member directory. Chamber members of the South Shuswap will have their business name listed on the directory no charge. Non-members are also invited to put their business names in the

kiosks for an annual fee. If you would like to join the Chamber or pay the prescribed fee for putting your name on the directory, please contact Chamber GM Karen Brown: manager@southshuswapchamber.com. Tourism Tear-away Map Campaign Successful Most businesses in the South Shuswap received books of tearawap maps for handout to visitors. The maps served as a convenient way to educate visitors on the whereabouts of our services, amenities and local attractions. The maps boasted a ‘Bucket List of Things to Do in the South Shuswap’ where visitors were given suggestions of things to do and see in the area. The feedback that the Chamber received on the maps was very strong and we hope to make some revisions for our next run and see another 10,000 printed for the summer of 2017. Finz Charity Golf Tournament set to go for September 17th The Second Annual FINZ Resort Charity Golf Classic, supporting both the Chamber and First Responders, will take place at Shuswap Lake Estates Golf Course on Saturday September 17th. The nine-hole ‘Best Ball’ Tournament will be followed by a fabulous buffet at FINZ Bar & Grill on the waterfront. Tee Off is at 1:30 pm, cocktails at 5 and dinner to follow at 6. The day and evening will be rounded out by 50/50 draws and a silent auction at the awards banquet buffet. Cost to participate is just $70 per person. To register as a golfer or to make a donation to the cause, please contact FINZ at 250.675.3222. Community Engagement Day Sept. 18th - Bring out the Family! All members of the community are invited to Sorrento Blind Bay Park on Sunday September 18th between 11 am and 5 pm to take in our First Annual Community Celebration hosted by the Chamber in collaboration with Sorrento & Area Community Association (SACA). Entertainment highlights will include Sabrina Weeks performing from 12:30 to 2:00 and Serious Dogs from 2:00 to 4:30. Getting the crowd warmed up will be local performers, the Turtle Valley Band from 11:00 to 12:00. MLA Greg Kyllo and Area C Director Paul Demenok will be on location to greet the crowd. Representatives from our essential services and all of the non-profit groups, clubs and organizations will be on location to showcase all that there is to do and see in our area. Come and sign up or join a club or activity! Studies show that getting involved in one’s community increases a sense of belonging and results in increased vibrancy in not only one’s own life, but in the community as a whole. This community engagement event and the day of programming is made possible due to a grant received by the CSRD and sponsorship through SASCU Credit Union. We hope to see your family there on the 18th!

Tech Talk -Antivirus solutions By Stefan Schielke, inTechrity Many people have questions and concerns about antivirus software. First, let’s define the term “computer virus”. A small program that is designed to spread from one computer to another to interfere with computer operations. What does that really mean? A computer virus might corrupt or delete data on your
SEPTEMBER 2016
computer, use your email program to spread itself to other computers, or obtain personal or business information from your computer. How do we get viruses? Computer viruses are most often spread by attachments in email messages. That is why it is essential that you are cautious when opening email attachments. Viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files. Computer viruses also spread through downloads on the Internet. They can be hidden in illicit software or other files or programs you might download. How can we get rid of a virus? Not every virus is easy to remove. Some viruses are made to replicate themselves so that they can hide inside your computer undetected. Once a virus is on your computer, its type or the method it used to get there is not as important as removing it and preventing further infection. Scanning your computer with your personal antivirus software can remove most viruses. Other viruses require a deep penetration using specialized software. If you believe that your computer is infected with a virus, you should immediately close all programs and shut your computer off from accessing the internet. You need to either physically remove the Ethernet cable or turn off your WiFi. Many viruses can steal your user names, passwords, banking information, everything that you type on your keyboard. By removing online access, you are removing the ability for this information to leave your computer. Next, set your antivirus software to run a complete scan on your system. If any viruses are found, follow the steps advised by your antivirus software. The best protection against interference from a virus is to run antivirus software on your computer. Good antivirus software will scan attachments and websites before you open them and alert you. In addition, antivirus software must also be current to be effective. Keeping your software updated is essential to the safety of your computer. It is often difficult to decide which program to use with so many options available. Windows 7, look for Microsoft Security Essentials as a great free tool. Windows 8.1 & 10 have Windows Defender built in. Windows XP or Vista users should look at a paid program like Bitdefender. Mac users, Sophos Home has you covered. In addition to antivirus software, install the free version of Malwarebytes for added protection. At the end of the day, no anti-virus provides 100 percent protection from the many threats. We suggest making wise decisions on the web because it is the safest method. For more information or if you have any questions please feel free to give me a call at 250-679-7744 stefan@inTechrity.ca, www.inTechrity.ca

Sorrento Scottish Country Dancers Celebrate 21 Years Submitted by Wendy Dean The Sorrento Scottish Country Dancers, formed in October 1995, are proud to celebrate twenty one years of dancing in the Shuswap. Scottish Country Dancing is a modern form of the dancing popular in England and Scotland in the 18th century. It is, without doubt, one of the most sociable forms of dancing. Not just because you dance with seven or so other people at the same time, but with smiles and eye and hand contact being mandatory you cannot help but be friends with those around you. The dances vary in tempo, ranging from lively jigs, hornpipes and reels, to the slower, elegant strathspeys. Who are we? In the beginning, there was nowhere for us to practice until, thanks to the Director Marks McAvity, we were invited to use the dining room of the Sorrento Centre. Marks and Margaret were to form part of the original group. We danced on Saturday afternoons after lunch had been cleared away and we had swept the floor clean! Eight of us stepped out into the world of dance, Scottish style, little knowing that we would still be going 21 years later and would have become so much a part of the activity scene in the
Shuswap. We gave our first dance demonstration in January 1996 at the first Burns Night celebration held in the Sorrento Memorial Hall, organized by June Cridland. Since that time we have outgrown our dining room and moved to the Sorrento Drop in Society Centre where we are to this day. We meet each Saturday morning from 9.30 am to 12 noon from September through to April In the early years, there were children's classes at the Cedar Centre, supported by the Board of Directors as part of the Activity for Youth Initiative. These young dancers gave displays at Seniors Homes in Chase, Salmon Arm and at the centenary celebrations of St Mary's Church in Sorrento. The Saturday group has given displays of dancing at Pioneer Lodge, Salmon Arm, Burns Night, Sorrento Centenary celebrations to name a few. As well as dancing for our own enjoyment, we have over the last four years, invited the wider community to join us in a fund raiser/celebration we call a Spring Fling Ceilidh. In April 2016 we supported the Sorrento Food Bank and worked with the Board
of Directors to put on an afternoon of fun, dancing, raffle and door prizes to raise $900. Outstanding result! Since 2013 we have raised approx. $2,300. The organizations to benefit were Notch Hill Hall, Sorrento Memorial Hall, Sorrento & Area Community Health Centre, Sorrento Drop in Society and the Sorrento Food Bank. Community support has been outstanding! Thank you all. What now? The Sorrento Scottish Country Dancers start up again on 17 Sept. 2016 at the Sorrento Drop in Society Centre, 9:30 to 12 noon. New dancers are most welcome. To those of you who enjoyed the Ceilidh...come join us. Share the learning, the laughter and the friendship. Improving your physical and mental fitness/agility are the superb results of Scottish Country Dancing. Added bonuses that come free of charge! People can come as couples or as singles - there will always be enough other folks around to be sure you dance all evening. It's sometimes elegant; often very lively; but always, always, lots of fun.

Tappen/Sunnybrae Fire District Update By Kyle Schneider, Fire Chief Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department was busy during the month of July responding to motor vehicle incidents on the Trans-Canada Highway. Please remember to slow down and put your cell phone away while driving. In August we responded to reports of a structure fire on Sunnybrae Canoe Pt. Rd. Two family homes were on the property and one was completely lost. The fire spread to the surrounding forest but with the hard work of numerous agencies including Tappen Sunnybrae, White Lake & Shuswap Fire Departments as well as assistance from CSRD Fire Services Regional Command, BC Forestry and the RCMP we were able to limit the spread of the fire to less than half a hectare and protect the second structure in the vicinity. Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department would like to thank the members

of our community for respecting the burn ban put in place by BC Wildfire Service. Fines for illegal burning were increased this year from $350 to $1150. There has been a significant decrease in burn complaints this summer. In previous years we would average 3-5 complaints per week but this year we have received 10 complaints in total, a significant decrease. Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department continues to work hard to educate our year-round residents and summer visitors on burn bans via the traditional media, social media, road signage and word-ofmouth.

First Responders By Anne Long FIRST-there may well be a split second in your life when everything you know and cherish changes forever. You or a loved one may fall: from a ladder, off a deck or down stairs, from a tractor, a tree, a bicycle. More often the crisis is a serious motor vehicle accident. You are shocked, disoriented, unsure if you are all right. A witness or RCMP will call 911 for help. The BC Ambulance Service alerts South Shuswap First Responders. South Shuswap First Responders arrive in minutes, ensure the safety of the accident scene, search for anyone injured, assess the nature and seriousness of injuries and provide first aid and support. Obey their direction to stay still where you are while they assess your possible injuries. First Responders follow a standard routine and protocol to give life-saving care. Being at the scene FIRST can be critical to your future life. Of FIRST importance is maintaining breathing and heartbeat and preventing major
blood loss. Another primary concern is to limit and avoid damage to the spinal cord. Those FIRST minutes are vital to saving and preserving life. First Responders throughout the world are dedicated to the goal of timely response to save life and quality of life. It is the FIRST step in the new life of the injured. Whatever recovery, rehabilitation, or life-long physical or mental deficits ensue depends, in part, on those precious First Responders. We are lucky to have a small band of volunteer First Responders in the South Shuswap who give excellent service 24 hours a day to our area. From being nobody-special who committed time to learning, practicing, sharing, they became very special people. We welcome anyone interested in volunteering to be a First Responder. No prior first aid experience necessary. Contact Debbie @ 250 675 3355. Ask her your questions, express your thanks, share your concerns. Find out how to become a First Responder.
Accident Closes Highway Submitted by Chase RCMP On August 27th Chase RCMP and Central Interior Traffic Services responded to a three-vehicle collision on Highway One near Sorrento. A westbound Volkswagen had stopped on the highway to make a left-hand turn onto Desfosses Road, while an SUV approached from behind began slowing to a stop. Behind the SUV, a pick-up truck towing a travel trailer began to brake, but was unable to stop in time. The driver of the SUV had begun to move to the right in an attempt to avoid being hit, but the SUV was struck in the right rear corner, and the Volkswagen received the brunt
of the impact. There were no injuries among the occupants of the pick-up truck and the SUV, while the driver of the Volkswagen and his four passengers were transported to Royal Inland Hospital, some with serious injuries. Chase Rescue attended to help extricate passengers from the car, and a BC Ambulance helicopter transported some of the injured. The highway was closed for several hours while the investigation was conducted. The forty-two year old male driver of the pick-up was ticketed under the Motor Vehicle Act. Alcohol and drugs were not a factor in the collision.

Episode 6 – Jack’s Last Gasp By Una St. Clair Ding Dong Dell, Jack’s in the Well. Who Put Him In? Big Windy Flynn. Who Pulled Him Out? Little Ernie Stout The towering grey clouds looked ominous as big gusts of wind slammed into the barn and tugged at the roof. I ran with the cows and sheep to the barn, heads down against the wind and rain spitting in our eyes. With all the animals tucked away, I returned to the house expecting to find Jack, our yellow lab, lounging on the couch in royal style, but the house was strangely empty, devoid of his wagging welcome and friendly grin. I instantly knew something was wrong. Figuring he was stuck somewhere outside, I searched for him through the battering wind, but he had disappeared without a trace. The knot of anxiety in my gut crept unbidden into every bone, as I drove along roads and through fields well into the storm filled night calling his name. No sign. Morning broke calm after the storm, but I was unsettled and anxious. “I have to find his body, just to have some peace,” I stated. My matter of fact manner belying tears held back and a swelling pain in my heart at losing my wonderful buddy. I had come to the conclusion that the valiant Jack had taken on one fight too many, but I wanted to make sure that he wasn’t injured and bleeding slowly to death. Ernest and I went on foot, deep into the neighbour’s woods, Jack’s fa-
vorite coyote chasing grounds. Giving up was unthinkable, and as I struggled through thorns and brush ripping at my clothes, I prayed for a sign, asking the forest to show me where his body lay. Our neighbours felt our sadness and joined the search. “We heard a huge coyote howling ruckus over by the pond last night about 6:30,” they explained. I grasped at the clue and we rushed over to search the pond area. “Jack, where are you buddy?” I kept calling, knowing if he had the power in him, he would answer me. Suddenly, Ernest yelled “I hear a sound!” I redoubled my efforts, pleading with Jack to speak to us again. Another faint, keening sigh reached our ears. He was here, somewhere, waiting for us to rescue him! Ernest went crashing through the undergrowth “I’ve found him!” His words changed the world! But we could see nothing but bush, neither Jack nor Ernest were visible. Now they had both disappeared! An explosion of sound and activity came from literally right under our feet, and a wet, shaking yellow lab was thrown up and out from below the ground. Jack had fallen into the perfect trap for anything or anybody. The old wooden lid had long since rotted away and Jack had been held prisoner in a ground level, 20 foot deep well. He had held onto life for 23 hours, keeping his head just above the surface by treading water, ripping out (Continued on page 13)

his claws in his attempts to cling onto the sides. Without waiting for backup, Ernest had used previously undiscovered spider man skills to climb down inside the well, grab the dog’s head which was the only thing showing above the water, and literally throw him up and out onto the ground above. Jack had used his last gasp to call us, being too weak and hypothermic to bark. Even thinking about it now, my blood runs cold at the thought of how close we came to losing him. With his strength gone, he wouldn’t have lasted many more minutes before the black

water had closed over his head forever. But now there was celebration, as Jack was enveloped in the loving warmth of family and friends! I am left with a great appreciation for the caring and support of neighbours (we would bring peace into the world if we all looked after each other so well), and a new understanding that time is of the essence in missing cases. Don’t wait, look now and keep going, whether it’s your cat stuck up a tree, or grandma who took the wrong turn out for a walk.

Blind Bay Painters By Betty Schriver Blind Bay Painters are a friendly, diversified group of painters who meet every Tuesday, from mid September til mid June to paint, learn, share information, and reconnect with friends. Members of the group vary in their styles and mediums and we have beginners to award winning artists participating, all for the love of art. Annually, there is a program developed that may include demonstrations, workshops, free days to paint as well as a Christmas potluck and farewell lunch. The hall is well equipped for the group and includes an artist library of books and videos that can be borrowed. Each year, members
of the group are able to present/ sell their art at our annual art show in the Reedman Gallery of the Blind Bay Hall, usually on the long weekend in July. If you are a beginner artist and want to gain valuable knowledge or perhaps already an experienced artist that just would like to share your love of art with others and find friends with similar interests, drop by and see what Blind Bay Painters group has to offer! We start on Sept 13th at 9:30 am and go to usually about 2:30 pm. The location is Blind Bay Hall, 2510 Blind Bay Rd. You can call Inge at 250-675-2860 or myself 250-675-2249, if you have any questions about the group!

One to One Reading Volunteers Needed Submitted by Darcy Calkins ONE TO ONE is a unique children’s literacy program that provides one-to-one tutoring to children in elementary schools during regular school hours. Our trained volunteer tutors work with students who are identified by their teachers as needing a boost in their literacy skills. Typically, each student spends approximately 30 minutes two to four times a week with a volunteer tutor. Children chosen for the program often receive little or no additional literacy support. ONE TO ONE provides these children with an opportunity to practice their reading in an environment where it is okay to take risks, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace. The program is organized by the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) in partnership with School District #83. A three hour training session for all volunteers is mandatory as well as a criminal record check. The fall session starts Oct 3, for 10 weeks. To sign on as a volunteer or for further information please contact Darcy Calkins, Literacy Outreach Coordinator at 250463-4555 or admin@shuswapliteracy.ca.

Business Scoop How To Plan For Risk In Business
By Rob Marshall, Executive Director of Community Futures Shuswap. It has been said that there are two things in life that are certain: death and taxes. Perhaps you could name a few more, but uncertainties or risks are part of life and that is true for businesses, whether it be a start-up or long-established, most risks can be mitigated if not avoided altogether. The key is to recognize risks and their potential
250.803.0156

impact, and then determine what, if anything, can be done cost-effectively to reduce negative impacts. According to an article written for Community Futures’ The Future of Entrepreneurship Series, Reality of Risk, by Dr. David E. Bond, here are a few recommendations to prepare for the unavoidable challenges that every business owner will face at one time or another: 1. Consider your business’ key resources. Your finance and accounting records, computer data, inventory, labour force and customer base are all key components. Businesses need insurance against theft, fire, cyber security, perhaps earthquakes and floods, and certainly business interruption which would provide help after a disaster causing the business to shut down temporarily as seen in Fort McMurray. And, depending on the nature of the firm, key person insurance may be necessary. This insurance provides investors some confidence that either they will recoup their investment or have financial resources sufficient to find a replacement or potential purchaser if the founder or key manager is no longer able to work. 2. Keep and protect company records. The records of the company are normally kept in electronic files. First, make sure you have a continuous back-up that is stored in at least two, and preferably three, distinctly separate places. Second, make sure your operations are protected against viruses and hackers. Take time to examine your present needs as well as your foreseeable requirements and get knowledgeable advice from trusted and respected providers. 3. Prepare for changes, be flexible, and have a plan. All businesses operate in a changing environment. You need to think seriously about the types and frequency of internal and external reports you will require to understand what is
happening to your sales, costs of operation, growth, personnel, and, if possible, what the competition is doing. Those reports will, in turn, provide you with indications of what might lie ahead and alert you to any adjustments you should consider. More importantly, they should make you aware of any vulnerabilities and opportunities. 4. Surround yourself with trusted advisors. To reduce operating risks as much as possible, consider assembling a Board of Advisors of experienced people you trust and respect. Two or more knowledgeable individuals who will provide frank and honest observations and opinions as to how things are going and what, if any, corrective action you might wish to take can be invaluable. 5. Build and lean on a solid, committed, and trusted team. Finally, no matter what your enterprise does, it’s highly unlikely you will be doing it alone. The people on your team constitute one of your most important resources and you want to avoid high turnover. Keeping good employees can be the difference between success and failure. 6. A Sound Business Plan. Thinking about and preparing to manage risks is not always front and centre when an entrepreneur considers a new venture but it should form an essential part of any business plan. Your business plan should not be a promotional document full of hype and unrealistic sales forecasts. It needs to be a wellreasoned and conservative document showing that you have considered the potential risks and a plan for how to deal with them in a timely and appropriate manner. The items we’ve mentioned are part of what our team offers you by way of advice and support at Community Futures Shuswap. We would love to hear from you. Call for an appointment. We’re here to help.

Submitted by Jim McEwan, Shuswap Veterinary Clinic Sometimes your pet and a neighbours’ just don’t get along and the next thing you know is your pet is in fight. We have seen our share of significant bites and scrapes at the Shuswap Vet Clinic already this year. Regardless of who starts the fight, they are dangerous for humans and our pets. Animal bite wounds aren’t just painful, they transmit disease and often require veterinary medical treatment, too. Don’t
be fooled by bites that look like “nothing” either. Just as humans at a drop in clinic having bite wounds dealt with, many a dog and cat has ended up in surgery from bite wounds that seemed innocent. It’s the infections we can’t see that brew and smolder beneath the surface of the skin and in the chest or abdominal cavity that can cause the most unexpected damage. If your pet has been in a fight, always have bite wounds promptly evaluated by your veterinarian.

By Bill Wilson, CPGA Professional Shuswap Lake Estates Golf Course Hi everyone. Hope you had a great summer of golfing. Don't put your clubs away just yet as we still have a couple months remaining. It was a busy summer at our golf course. Weather was not typical, but cooler temperatures made golfing much more pleasant. Just like to recap our tournaments over the last two months. First was the Women’s Summer Swing on July 8th. Winners were Gail Orser and Lana German. As most all know we hosted the Provincial Senior Men’s event on July 19th through 21st. Results were given in the August Scoop. Next tournament was the Highland Senior Men’s Two Man Team Best Ball, held on August 22nd. The winning team was Brian Duquette and Doug Hardy with an excellent round of 5 under par 66. On August 27th we hosted the Shuswap Hospital Foundation Charity Open. This was a fundraiser for the hospital. We had an excellent turn out and great support. The women’s division 1st Low gross was won by Ricky Erickson with an 87, 2nd Low Gross went to Mariejie DuPlessis with a 90 and 3rd place went to Susan Graham with a 93. In the men’s division, Justin Rouleau took top honours with a low gross of 72, while 2nd place went to Brian Duquette with a 74 and 3rd place went to Jesse Stark. Many thanks to all the volunteers who supported these events. Golf Tip: Uphill lies (slopping up to your target). These are challenging lies especially when severe. Select extra club as the ball will fly higher and will not carry as far as it would on a level slope. Set up to your ball as perpendicular to the slope as possible without being off balance. Focus when swinging on also keeping balanced. Finally when swinging the club, try to swing up the slope and not into it. Next month - downhill lies. Happy golfing.

THE SOUTH SHUSWAP SCOOP
Notch Hill Natter By Jill Goward Even though recent weather has made us feel as if autumn is already spreading its shroud over us, the Shuswap is still very much alive with normal summer activities. Farmers’ markets have never looked so healthy and vibrant. And don’t put away the shorts just yet. We’re told there’s more summer to come. In Notch Hill, hay making is well under way while we gardeners are extremely busy hauling in awesome crops of corn, cukes, peppers, tomatoes, beets, carrots etc all to be processed in that over -worked kitchen! If you’ve never preserved fruit, give it a try. It is so rewarding. On a more serious note, members of the Notch Hill Town Hall Association are disgusted at the recent act of vandalism incurred in the old school. What possible satisfaction could someone derive out of spraying the inside of the building with a fire extinguisher, making clean-up
hazardous and nasty? The culprits also stole some valuable items including a framed commemorative dollar bill. However, it won’t stop plans for bookings and the resumption of Coffee Houses. Nor will it spoil the proposed Dog Party on Sunday, 25th September 10am to 4pm. There will be prizes for best in show, costumes, people’s choice, tricks, prettiest, handsomest, and lookalikes! Admission is $3 per dog per event, refreshments will be available, and possibly a training presentation. So plan to bring your dogs to our hall for their day out. For more information on this and other activities, call our rental agents Sheila at 675-4174 or Marianne at 8354721.
