THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

SEPTEMBER 2018

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

Salute to the Sockeye continued (Continued from page 1)

val is shaping up not to only be an opportunity to come out and explore the Shuswap, but also to be a focusing event to signify how important wild salmon are to Canadians. In addition to a large number of salmon returning and the Opening Ceremony, there are a number of other reasons to come check out the festival. Highlights include educational displays and demonstrations by BC Parks, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and multiple nongovernment organizations, artisan and souvenir shopping, local food vendors (yum bannock!), and the beautiful walking trails in the autumn. Artisan Market: We are celebrating the successes of the 2014 Salute to the Sockeye celebration; by welcoming back many of those cherished artisans. Additionally, we are delighted to present 17 new and First Nations artisans into the "Salute" family. The Shuswap, Thompson and Okanagan regions are rich with talented, dynamic and professional artists that effectively showcase this area. Again, the dominant theme of this year’s event is salmon; sprinkled with fun and cheeky relevant examples of this exciting and beautiful part of British Columbia. You can expect to see in the artisan tent: Photography, pottery, sculpture, painting, prints, nature art, jewellery, glass and fabric art and baskets made of birch bark, pine needle and cedar. As well, a variety of children's items such as colouring books, toys, blankets and clothing. Educational Activities: As in previous years, DFO and its partners will be providing ON-SITE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS to an anticipated 10,000 British Columbian elementary school students in grades 2 – 5. Teachers wishing to register their class in the Educational Interpretive Program should contact DFO directly by emailing DFO.PACSalute2018.MPO@dfo-mpo.gc.ca. Salute Parking: To accommodate the influx of people who will come out to enjoy Tsútswecw Provincial Park during the Salute (past Salutes have seen approximately 200,000 people in attendance over the course of the festival), special arrangements are being made. Traffic control people will be helping manage the flow of traffic over to

the north shore during the Salute busy periods (e.g., weekends/Thanksgiving). Volunteer parking attendants will greet park guests to help maximize the available parking space within the park. Additionally, arrangements are being made for a bus service that will run between Kamloops and Salmon Arm to help locals attend the Opening Ceremony as well as during the Thanksgiving weekend (watch out for more information on this bus service on www.salmonsociety.com). The Adams River Salmon Society thanks the North Shore community for their patience during the peak visiting times to the Salute as salmon traffic can be a challenge. We would like to remind everyone to avoid parking on the side of the road next to the Park during the Salute. Unfortunately, roadside parking creates additional congestion and poses danger to pedestrians trying to access the park. Please help set an example for park visitors by parking in the main parking lot. Admission fees to the festival are only $2 a person/$5 a car. This fee goes to support the running of the festival (e.g. portable toilets, security, site maintenance, first aid, etc.) and is administered through The Adams River Salmon Society. A small cost to pay to enjoy this natural phenomenon in style! We hope to see you at the run! Volunteers: We’ve had a great response so far in our campaign to attract volunteers, but WE STILL NEED YOU. Opportunities exist for helping at the Salute: Cabin Hosts, Admission Booth, Facilities Maintenance, Volunteer Tent Helper, Volunteer Coordination and Traffic/Parking Attendants. Check out our website for our volunteer form, email volunteers@salmonsociety or call Bill Tayler at 778-995-4027. Interpretive Cabin: Our Interpretive Cabin continues to see much and growing traffic as the run approaches. Many international guests including: Holland, South Africa and Germany to name a few. We have had three large Salmon Statues placed in front of the cabin. The photo-op board and the touch screen games continue to be a hit with our younger guests. An interesting note gleaned from page 121 of ‘Everything Shuswap’: “Chief (Continued on page 5)

...Kick-Back!! By Editor Jo Anne Malpass Sometimes we forget to appreciate how lucky we are to have people in our community willing to give of their time and effort to help others in need. Many of us were reminded this past month when we saw our local firefighters respond to four fires. In two of the cases, all three departments responded and worked together like a well-oiled machine. Although a house in Scotch Creek and two garages at Magna Bay were already fully engulfed when they got the call, they saved adjacent homes and stopped the fires from spreading to nearby forest. A lightning strike in Camp Grafton was quickly extinguished by our firefighters as was a fire on a boat buoyed at Lee Creek. Members of each fire department have a strong knowledge of the area and its residents. Their weekly training sessions ensure the best possible response time, knowledge of the most appropriate techniques for each situation and familiarization with the specialized equipment required for firefighting and safety. They are members of our community with a will to improve their skills while protecting life and property. The objective is to save lives and property, and as a firefighter, dedication to meeting this objective is critical. Among one of the biggest challenges faced by paid on call and volunteer fire departments across the country is the ability to attract new recruits to replace members as they retire or move away from the area. This is happening on the North Shuswap. Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Fire Department is the department most in need of men and women, although Anglemont and Celista also have space available. There were 600 call outs in 2017 for all the CSRD departments, double that of the year before. Anglemont went from 18 call-outs to 54, Celista 13 to 42 and SC/LC 13 to 45. This increased workload is one of the main reasons they are looking for help. After dealing with a structure fire, the mopping up stage takes a lot longer when there are

less people to help. Along with the sense of accomplishment and significant community service, participation as a firefighter can bring personal reward. A benefit is the camaraderie you will feel. Fire departments can feel like a family. You will have a whole group of close friends. You can also learn valuable skills that are useful in your regular job or when seeking paid work, including leadership skills, fund raising, public relations, first aid training, emergency vehicle driving, how chemicals react and even how to work as a team. All the training is free. Fire fighting is and will always be hard physical work. This work requires technical knowledge and skills to be executed as safely as possible, performed with cool emotional stability by solid teamwork. If being a firefighter doesn’t interest you, our North Shuswap First Responders are also in need of recruits. Although they don’t get a lot of publicity, if you have ever had a medical emergency, you know how comforting it can be to see them arrive. They are trained to care for any medical or accident injuries. They are part of the initial response of the BC Ambulance Service or the BC Emergency Health Services. When you call 911 and ask for an ambulance in the North Shuswap you will have our First Responders attend prior to any ambulance in most if not every circumstance. They also provide free training and give you the satisfaction of contributing something worthwhile to your community. It's really all about helping people who need it. Without our trained firefighters and first responders, who would we have in an emergency? For fire Services Inquiries/ Information, call 250.833.5950 or email fire@csrd.bc.ca or attend one of their practices at a local fire hall on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 pm. Interested in becoming a first responder, call Phyllis at 250.955.2949 or email pshrum52@gmail.com

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

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

Scotch Creek Water Upgrade - At the August CSRD Board meeting, the Board gave first, second and third reading to the Scotch Creek Water Upgrade Service Area Establishment Bylaw No. 5783 and gave approval to apply for a grant to extend the Saratoga Water System to service the community of Scotch Creek. It also gave first, second and third reading to the Scotch Creek Water Upgrade Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 5784. The Board authorized the submission of an application for grant funding through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program - Green Infrastructure: Environmental Quality Sub-Stream fund to a maximum amount of $7,000,000 to fund 73.33% of the eligible costs to upgrade the Saratoga Water System for the Scotch Creek water connection project. The staff report to the Board says the 2007 Scotch Creek Master Water Plan has recently been updated. The project’s consultant, Urban Systems, has identified the upgrades necessary for the Saratoga Waterworks to supply water service to the Scotch Creek community. The upgrades have been split into two phases; Phase 1 and Phase 2. The upgrades required for Phase 1 are far beyond the financial ability of the community. The project meets the criteria for a grant and the application deadline for the 2018 intake is August 29, 2018. An updated requirement introduced with this intake is for the applicant to supply evidence that the applicant’s full share of funding has been or will be secured. The evidence may be in the form of a loan

authorization bylaw that has received third reading. There are currently 21 private water systems in Scotch Creek, most of which are struggling to meet current drinking water regulations. The remainder of the community relies on either individual groundwater wells or individual private lake intakes. Complicating this issue further is the aquifer below Scotch Creek, although productive, is unconfined and at risk of contamination mainly due to the number of onsite sewer systems and inadequate treatment facilities in place. The community is in one of the few areas where the Province of BC has refused to issue any additional community water system permits unless they are owned and operated by local government. Bylaw No. 5784 authorizes and empowers the CSRD to borrow a sum not exceeding $2,600,000. The maximum term for which debentures may be issued to secure the debt created by this bylaw is 25 years. Utilities Team Leader Terry Langlois said staff would have the application ready by the deadline. They have asked the Province for an extension to get in a couple of components, including a water conservation plan which needs to be endorsed by the Board. This will be presented at the September Board meeting. CSRD staff has had some additional meetings with Caravans West and relayed their concerns to the Board and the Scotch Creek Water Advisory Committee. Although the bylaws have both been ap-

Sehowtken was a powerful chief who commanded much respect. He was baptized in 1849 and was given the name Adam. Journals indicate he lived until 1867 and that the river and the Lake were named in his honour.” Stay tuned to keep up to date with Salmon Watch 2018.

proved to third reading, adoption is subject to public assent, which will be asked for after learning if the grant is awarded. The Secwepemc Landmarks and Trail Sign Project The CSRD Board authorized the submission of an application to the BC Rural Dividend Program for $100,000 for the development and implementation of the Secwepemc Landmarks project. The project creates awareness of Secwepemc traditional territory through a series of iconic Landmarks (sculptures) situated at key, highly visited areas, which portray Secwepemc location names, culture and stories throughout the Shuswap lakes region. The CSRD Shuswap Economic Development department will partner with the supporting organizations, but the physical infrastructure will be created by Indigenous artists and the structures will be placed on site by the Shuswap Trail Alliance. Shuswap Economic Development Strategy Adoption - The CSRD adopted the Shuswap Economic Development Strategy. This allows the economic development department to start implementing the projects that are identified in the strategy. Development Permit No. 830-238 (O’Riordan-McKay) The Board approved a development and variance permit for the property at Magna Bay, split by Condit Road and Squilax-Anglemont Road and adjacent to Shuswap Lake. The owners are proposing to install a floating dock on the foreshore adjacent to the property. A Foreshore and Water Development Permit (DP) is required for all dock installations in Electoral Area F. The proposed dock exceeds the size requirements in Lakes Zoning Bylaw No. 900 by more than 10% and therefore could not be considered for approval by the Manager of Development Services. As such a DP and the requested variance of the maximum permitted surface area from 24 m2 to 32.52m2 must be approved by the Regional District Board Lakes Zoning Amendment (CSRD) Bylaw No. 900-25 - was read a first time and will now be referred to referral agencies, First Nations, and stakeholders. Changes proposed in the amendment include: • Floating dock must not exceed 30 m2 (322.92 ft2) in total upward facing surface area (not including removable walkway). • Floating dock surface must not exceed 3.05 m (10 ft) in width for any portion of the dock. • Removable walkway surface must not (Continued on page 7)

exceed 1.52 m (5 ft) in width for any other portion of the walkway. The Provincial Private Moorage Program was amended on January 17, 2017 to streamline Provincial approval processes for private docks. Prior to the amendment, the Province permitted a total maximum upward facing surface area of a dock of 24 m2, which was reflected in Bylaw No. 900. The primary Provincial change made in 2017 was that there is no longer a total maximum upward facing surface area of a dock of 24 m2 to qualify for a General Permission; when applying the maximum permitted area could be 128.1 m2 (42 m x 3.05 m). Provincial amendments say a freshwater dock must not: extend beyond 42 m from the point where the walkway begins; have more than a 3 m wide moorage platform and

float; or have more than a 1.5 m walkway connecting the platform or float to the shore. For mobile docks located in waterbodies that have seasonally fluctuating water levels, the outermost extent of the dock must not be more than 60 m from the present natural boundary. Lakes Zoning Amendment (Meadow Creek Properties Park Association) Bylaw No. 900-9 – received second reading, as amended, and a public hearing will be held Sept. 5, 6pm at North Shuswap Community Hall. This is a proposed amendment to Lakes Zoning Bylaw No. 900 to reflect a unique upland ownership circumstance. The owners of the upland property are a community association. This association of upland property owners would like to amend the Multi Family 1 (FM1) zone to in(Continued on page 9)

clude a site-specific 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 3. Therefore, 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 and were part of the original application. Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Amendment (Pinegrove RV Park) Bylaw No. 825-38 was given first reading and will be referred to referral agencies and First Nations. The Pine Grove RV Park Owner's Association has applied to rezone the subject

property from C1– Commercial 1 zone to RR– Resort Residential zone. While the current C1 zone allows for a campground, the use is limited to temporary accommodation in tents or recreational vehicles. Some of the owners would like to expand the use of the park to allow park models on a more residential basis. As a result, the application is to rezone the subject property to RR with a special regulation for this property only. Anglemont Zoning Amendment (Anglemont Estates Golf Course Ltd.) Bylaw No. 650-13 – was adopted. A public hearing was held on September 7. The amendment permits an existing upper floor dwelling unit as a permitted use in the P-4 zone and includes an amended definition of Public Assembly Facility to help clarify permitted uses.

By Jo Anne Malpass About 30 residents expressed their opinions about a proposed waterfront park and boat launch on Bristow Road in Celista at a public hearing, held August 1st at Scotch Creek Fire Hall. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District purchased the 1.08-acre property with 100 feet of waterfront in November 2017. The public hearing was held because the project includes an amendment to the Electoral Area F Official Community Plan to designate it as Parks and Protected Areas, and an amendment to Lakes Zoning Bylaw No. 900 to rezone the foreshore to Foreshore Park. The property has been cleared of buildings and trees under the supervision of a Qualified Environmental Professional. Also completed is a geotechnical survey, a preliminary assessment regarding sensitive habitat and Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band archaeology team has conducted a Preliminary Field Review. Applications have been made to all the appropriate Provincial Ministries. It was explained that the proposed waterfront park will provide a boat launch, 12 truck and trailer parking spaces, public dock, picnic area and vault toilet. There will also be a kiosk with important information which may include invasive species education and the Kids Don’t Float program. Neighbours expressed concern about the cost to purchase and develop the property, a proposed 168’ dock, the effect of a boat launch on lake congestion in that area, potential milfoil growth, construction noise and potential noise once open. CSRD staff said the site will be monitored daily by maintenance staff and three times each evening by a park security company which will provide signage with contact information. Neighbours with existing buoys near the park, were told they would not have to remove them. The site will be accessed via Bristow Road and neighbours warned it is too narrow and in poor condition which would be worsened by vehicles pulling boat trailers turning onto the site. CSRD staff said Bristow Road belongs to the

Ministry of Transportation but they would pass on the suggestions to pave it and install no parking signs. Others, including a nearby business owner, said it would revitalize the area and be a welcome addition to the community. A contingent of firefighters from Celista Fire Department attended to support the park which will include a dry hydrant. This could give Celista a water source recognized by insurance underwriters and significantly reduce insurance rates. The owner of a neighbouring property thanked CSRD staff for communicating about the project and said he supports the current design. A resident near the Magna Bay boat launch said there is sometimes congestion there but no other problems. He was concerned about the design of the Bristow Road property saying it is not the most efficient and may be difficult for people to back their boats in. CSRD Parks Team Leader Ryan Nitchie said the CSRD paid $1.125 million for the property, 2/3 came out of the parkland dedication fund (developers pay money in lieu of including parkland in their development). The rest came from short term internal CSRD financing. $450 K has been set aside for construction of the project, some coming from community works fund (gas tax) and some from Area F Parks budget. About $120,000 has been spent to date. Some of the estimated costs are the concrete launch $94,000, dock $53,000, engineering and design $30 to $40 thousand and remediation $12,000. Area F Director Larry Morgan explained that because it was private property which had other interested buyers, they moved forward on purchasing it, after obtaining local input from the Area F Parks Advisory Committee.

He also noted a boat launch has been listed as a top priority by residents and he has been in search for a suitable site since he was elected in 2011. CSRD staff said the amendments will be heard at the September 20 CSRD Board meeting.

put The CanvasMan into operation. Dan Tremblay loves being able to use his creativity to design and customize personalized products for his customers. Designing and upholstering boat interiors and seeing the excitement the finished product generates is Dan’s aim for every job he does. Quality is number one for every creation and Dan’s motto is, “If I’m not happy, I can’t expect the customer to be happy.” So, he and his crew always “sew straight” and “get it right the first time”. He also feels a picture is worth a thousand words and asks customers to bring him a picture of what they are after, in the finished product. This is a great communication tool that ensures everyone involved is on the same page. Business at The CanvasMan is awesome. Things are always busy and Dan and company get to work with the best clientele ever – ones who associate their projects with fun and recreation and can’t wait to get their “toys” into operation.

Trade shows often take him to locations in Florida, California and Vegas, where he can combine work and enjoyment of local attractions. He also enjoys venturing out closer to home, especially with trips to Vancouver and area, and to Vancouver Island. Dan Tremblay would like to thank the folks at Captain’s Village Marina for their support and royal treatment in his 28 years of operation in the Shuswap. Their assistance with planning helped him get his business up and running and their shared connections put The Canvasman on the map. They have continued to be supportive throughout the years, offering work space for really large projects, storage and vehicle transfers when needed. The Kicker would like to thank Dan Tremblay and The CanvasMan for their advertising support. Our best wishes for continued success for this local business.

Voting in BC Local Elections By Jo Anne Malpass General local elections are the most direct way for the public to influence their local government and school district. By choosing candidates with the ideals and qualities that are most acceptable to the electors, citizens can directly influence the nature of the community where they reside or own property. According to the Province’s Voter’s Guide to Local Elections in BC, to be eligible to vote locally as a resident or non-resident property elector, a person must: • Be 18 years of age or older on general voting day, • Be a Canadian citizen • Been a resident of B.C. for at least six months. • Have lived or owned property in the jurisdiction in which they intend to vote for at least 30 days and • Not be disqualified under the Local Government Act, or any other enactment, or by law from voting in a local election Voting rights are granted to citizens based on residency or property ownership. There is no corporate or business vote in local elections. Non-Resident Property Electors - When a person lives in one jurisdiction and owns property in another jurisdiction, they may vote once in the other jurisdiction where

they own property -- as long as they meet the voter eligibility requirements. If a person owns a property with other individuals, only one person is eligible to vote as the non-resident property elector for that property. The owner entitled to vote must be designated, in writing, by the majority of the property owners. Voter Ineligibility - Resident electors and non-resident property electors are not eligible to vote in a local election if they: • Have been convicted and sentenced for an indictable offence and are in custody • Have been found guilty of an election offence, such as intimidation or vote-buying Mail Ballot Voting - Mail ballot voting provides those electors unable to attend an advance or general voting opportunity the ability to vote in a local election. It is intended to allow non-resident property electors, seasonal residents, electors in geographically remote locations, and electors whose mobility or health is compromised, an opportunity to cast their ballot in the election. Voting Day Registration - The CSRD uses same day registration, Deputy Chief Election Officer Colleen Goodey told the Kicker. “You (Continued on page 15)

can register to vote at a voting place prior to voting either at an Advanced Voting Opportunity or on General Voting Day. Mail in ballots (voting) is available by completing an application to vote by mail if you are unable to attend a voting station. You must have 2 pieces of identification that prove who you are and where you live. The ID must show your residential address and one of them must have your signature. If your ID doesn’t show your residential address, you can make what is called a “solemn declaration” as to your residence. The voting clerk will have the form you need to use to make that declaration. Typically, people bring a Driver’s Licence, Care Card, Credit Card or a utility bill or tax notice, these are just few examples. It is good to note that a combined Driv-

er’s Licence/Care Card is considered to be only 1 piece of identification. If you are registering as a non-resident property elector, you must also provide the address or legal description and the title (or other proof of ownership) of the property you own. If you are one of two or more owners, you must also demonstrate - in writing - that you have the consent of the majority of all owners to vote on behalf of them in the election.” General Voting Day is October 20 from 8 am to 8 pm. Advance Voting will be on October 10. CSRD staff are in the process of updating the CSRD website to include voter information, plus links to any applications or documents required to vote, such as NonResident Property Elector or Mail in Ballots.

Community Benefits Agreements

www.GregKylloMLA.ca

By MLA Greg Kyllo Over the past few months British Columbians have learned that the NDP have a real knack for naming policy. They’ve implemented a speculation tax that doesn’t affect speculators, a school tax that brings in no new money for schools and more recently, they announced a Community Benefits Agreement, which really doesn’t carry any benefits. What this agreement actually equates to is a union monopoly on public projects like the Pattullo Bridge in Surrey. Under this deal, all workers must be a member of a union and anyone living outside of a 100km of the project will be barred from

working on the bridge. In addition to the laundry list of agreement stipulations, the project cost has increased by $100 million with no added benefits or features. If that wasn’t bad enough, non-union members who work on public projects like the Trans-Canada Highway expansion, will be forced to pay union dues and pay into union controlled pension fund. In what world is this okay? Like many British Columbians, I want the most capable and well trained individuals working on public infrastructure. Those individuals may not reside within 100km of a project. What may end up happening is (Continued on page 17)

(Continued from page 16)

that British Columbians will pay millions for an inferior final product. Unfortunately, none of that matters to the NDP. Not only is this is a blatant payoff to their own party donors, but realistically this money could have been put towards much better use. Despite their lavish spending and multiple new taxes, the NDP have failed to look beyond the lower mainland. Kamloops MLAs Todd Stone and Peter Milobar, recently did the math and came to the conclusion that the extra $100 million spent on the Pattullo Bridge could have fully funded three brand new schools and two expansions in School District 73. Instead, that money is going into the pockets of select trade unions. In our neck of the woods, the highway sec-

tion between Hoffman’s Bluff and Jade Mountain, and the Salmon River Bridge has been further delayed by the current government. The Minister of Transportation has gone on to say that she’s fast tracking the project. I tend to disagree. Taking a project that was ready to go when the NDP took office, and punting it two years down the road hardly seems like fast tracking. Reallocating a few dollars from the Pattullo Bridge could have easily got the ball rolling for our Highway 1 Expansion. If you peel back enough layers, you’ll find that this is another shady NDP backroom deal to siphon money off to their supporters. The 300 page behemoth of an agreement is a gross misuse of tax dollars, your tax dollars, and we cannot stand for it.

Sewer System for Scotch Creek? By Jo Anne Malpass Preliminary discussions about establishing a sewage collection and treatment system for Scotch Creek have been taking place between the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) and Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band (LSLIB). LSLIB Administrator Doug Brown said, “we want to develop an understanding with the CSRD about a project where we would not only do septage disposal per say but also have a collection system for the Scotch Creek area which would funnel sewage material into this treatment system that we’ve got on the Reserve and that would be done on a fee for service basis.” CSRD Utilities Team Leader Terry Langlois said the CSRD has had several meetings with LSLIB. Although talks are still preliminary, the Band is serious about looking at the expansion of their facility on Hilliam Road. The Band has committed money to look at this and preliminary engi-

neering has been done. Brown said the Band is planning to establish a septage (septic tank) disposal system. Presently, when people have their septic tanks pumped out, the material must be trucked all the way to Kamloops for disposal. This would be a close to home option for all North Shuswap residents that is more affordable in terms of transportation, time and costs. “So that is something we can and will do, it’s just a matter of time to put it together.” But LSLIB would like to combine that with a sewage treatment collection pipe system through Scotch Creek which individual residents would have the option to hook up to. The Band does not have jurisdiction off the Reserve so “that is what we need to have cooperation with the CSRD to do.” Dave Cunliffe, consulting engineer on the project, said the present system has been in operation since 2012, servicing lease properties on (Continued on page 22)

The existing system on the Reserve is a series of lagoons. Bacteria and aeration neutralize the material over time before it is discharged.

LSLIB land. The fenced, 10acre site is approximately 900 metres from the lake and any domestic water supply. Treatment occurs in lined activated trenches that function much like traditional sewage lagoons. Material is neutralized over time and the treated effluent is then discharged into the ground using rapid infiltration. The system follows all Provincial regulations. A testing well for water quality before the lagoon system and one after the discharge have shown no significant change in the quality of the ground water. When the system was originally designed, it was built at twice the required size. Three engineering com-

panies, including geotechnical and environmental, have been involved in different aspects of expansion plans. LSLIB has enough dedicated vacant land and engineers have determined there is room to expand the system to service all of Scotch Creek in a cost effective and environmentally safe way. There is a growing, longterm problem in Scotch Creek, Brown explained. Ever since people have been building homes in that area, they have been putting in wells and septic fields, and that gets duplicated over decades. Septic fields fail within 25 years and because it’s underground, you don’t (Continued on page 23)

know if it’s failing. A gradual failure, then raw, untreated septic material leaches into the ground water and all that ground water goes into the lake. The habitat of the lake gets smothered, with this toxic septic material and then you have a dying ecosystem and contaminated lake water. Along with being a longterm economic opportunity for the Band, the system would satisfy the Band’s primary responsibility to protect water quality in Shuswap Lake. Arrangements have been made for representatives from the LSLIB and the CSRD to tour a facility operated by Osoyoos Indian Band, which Langlois said “has been providing sewer to a small community for a number of years and apparently has been working well.” Brown said, “Once we have a chance to look that over, scope it out and see how applicable and adaptable it is to Scotch Creek, I presume we will have further discussions with the CSRD where we might hone in on a mutually acceptable plan and timeframe.” LSLIB has also been conducting

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

discussions with Provincial Government staff and they indicate they are in support of the facilitating this because they see it as a win, win, win for the Province, the Regional District and the Band. Cunliffe explained the system would be paid for with connection fees from commercial and residential landowners in Scotch Creek. “Connection to the system will be entirely voluntary. The water system currently planned by the CSRD is an important component to whether this project moves forward. Orderly development of Scotch Creek requires both community sewer and water systems and without community water services, the demand for sewer connections is diminished.” CSRD Team Leader Langlois said this all goes hand in hand with a water system. Even before he joined the CSRD 10 years ago, “there’s been this ongoing saga of servicing issues in Scotch Creek. There is a lot going on in a short period of time.

Fire News Two of our fire news writers are presently deployed at Dease Lake/ Telegraph Creek to help crews manage the wildfire situation. Mike Engholm of Scotch Creek and Mike Sanderson of Anglemont are there with Adam Perry of Celista. They are replacing three other local fire fighters who have just returned, Colton Barker and Sam Poffinbarger of Scotch Creek and Ken Fraser from Anglemont. Thank you to all the dedicated CSRD firefighters for stepping up when our neighbours are in need. The Celista Fire Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mini pumper is also being used to assist fire fighting efforts in Dease Lake. Scotch Creek/Lee Creek By Mike Engholm What if no one answered the call? Imagine this, you're sitting on the beach, it's a hot summer day. The kids are playing in the lake and your friends and family are with you having a good time. You look into the hills and you see smoke. You know exactly what it is, it's a fire. You do your diligence and call 911. Assuming everything will be handled by your local fire department and life will go back to normal. The call goes through, but nobody is there. The firetrucks are still sitting in the truck bays, plugged in. The lights in the fire hall are still off. The door is still locked. The parking lot is empty. The fire doesn't care, it keeps getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Now, you've just got home from a long hard day at work. You're starving, and you want to go to bed. So, you decide to make a quick snack on the stove. While it's cooking you're sitting on the couch watching TV. You doze off. You wake up to the smell of smoke, your kitchen is on fire. You fell asleep with the stove on and something has caught fire. Frantically you try to put it out, but your efforts aren't doing it. You call 911 in hopes the big red trucks show up to save your house, save your dreams, and save your memories. Seconds turn to minutes, minutes turn to hours. Nobody has showed up. Once again, the trucks are sitting in the bays, plugged in. The hall lights are off. The door is locked. The parking lot is empty. These two situations are extremely

unfortunate and will hopefully never happen. Hopefully someone will always answer the call. We are in need of firefighters. Not just front line, but pump operators, tender drivers, public educators, etc. The opportunities are endless! The next time you drive by a fire hall and think "I should join! I'll show up next Tuesday!" Think to yourself, what if no one answered the call? Don't wait! Join today! We practice every Tuesday 7:00pm-9:00pm feel free to show up and meet our crew! Together we can all answer the call. Anglemont By Dave King Anglemont Fire Department has been very busy this summer. We have responded to 18 call outs since July 1st, 2018. We continue to hone our skills in between call outs practicing basic roles on the fire scene and conducting tailgate reviews of actual situations. We remain very proud of our firefighters as they have demonstrated all our training has been effective. We have sent two firefighters up north to assist in the battle of wildfires. Celista On August 16 at 00:33hr, Celista FD was called out to assist Scotch Creek FD with a boat fire. The boat fully involved at the log dump in Lee Creek, threatening other vessels close by. Adjoining boats were moved to safety. It was a stubborn Fire because of fibreglass construction. 12 Firefighters responded. Back home at 03:30hr.

Neighbouring Homes and Forest Saved By Jo Anne Malpass A fire engulfing a home on Leopold Road in Scotch Creek was knocked down and contained in less than an hour and a half on August 7, thanks to the dedication and training of our three North Shuswap Fire Departments. Derek Sutherland, Team Leader of CSRD Protective Services described this result by the 22 responding firefighters from three departments as “absolutely excellent”. He explained that when firefighters arrived, the priorities become protecting the exposures, the other homes and the vegetation surrounding the home, so it didn’t become a wildland fire issue. As part of standard procedure, RCMP were on scene. The cause of the fire is being investigated but it is not deemed suspicious. BC Ambulance was there to assist the fire departments through their work in 30 plus weather in full turnout gear. They get dehydrated, so the ambulance is there to support them. Victims’ Services came to offer support to the family who lost their home. With the dry conditions, Scotch

Creek/Lee Cree Fire Chief Engholm said he notified dispatch immediately to get BC Wildfire rolling. A helicopter searched the area for any signs of the fire spreading. A bird dog and a Convair 580 water bomber were on the tarmac awaiting instructions. With the fire contained, these resources were called off. Getting water to the site was never an issue. Fire Chief Engholm said he chose a fire hydrant on Express Pt. Road because he had used it before and knew it could supply enough water and had enough pressure to fill tankers quickly. Four tenders loaded with 1,600 gallons each, ensured a steady stream of available water. Derek Sutherland said water is taken from the lake only after all other options have been exhausted. It is time consuming to get it set up, the trucks can get stuck in the sand, it takes more manpower and it takes much longer to fill up the tankers, whereas hydrants are faster to access and can fill the trucks in about three minutes. Mopping up the scene took many hours. Chief Engholm said his biggest concern was the shortage of manpower. With some of our firefighters being deployed to wildland fires around the province, all three local departments need more firefighters to spread out the workload. Anyone interested in joining is encouraged to attend a practice on Tuesdays 7 to 9 pm at any of the fire halls. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support the local family at https:// www.gofundme.com/9c85b9lost-everything-in-house-fire

Shuswap Salmon Symposium By Darlene Koss The Adams River Salmon Society Registration is open for the Shuswap Salmon Symposium, September 29October 1, 2018. The Symposium will be a gathering of academic and Indigenous thinkers and community members, government and non-profits, general public and private enterprise. The symposium is jointly hosted between the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band and The Adams River Salmon Society, and will be held at Quaaout Lodge, Squilax, BC. "The urgency of salmon conservation is on the minds of many people, especially as our thoughts turn to the dominant sockeye run in the Adams River this fall," says Don Paterson, president of The Adams River Salmon Society. "The time is right for this type of gathering. We anticipate the Shuswap Salmon Symposium will be an opportunity to connect the various communities, groups and individuals throughout the interior who want to take action to protect our wild salmon. And we appreciate the partnership with Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band that has made it possible to bring this Symposium to fruition." The Shuswap Salmon Symposium will be focused on salmon conservation from an interior BC perspective, and on bringing together Western science and Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Go to www.salmonsymposium.com to view the agenda and speaker highlights, or to register. Seating is limited so register early to avoid disappointment. For our Shuswap Salmon Symposium at Quaaout Lodge, we need help with the Registration Desk, Delegate Ambassadors and “Gofers”. Contact Carmen Massey at shuswapsalmonsymposium@gmail.com for more information. YOUTH FOR SALMON CONTEST Do you go to school in BC? Are you a student in grades K-12?

First Responders “911 … What is your emergency?” Submitted by Karen Boulter For the past two summers, smoky air from surrounding wildfires has become a real problem in our area and has led to many breathing emergencies. Besides coughing and trouble breathing, many people experience symptoms similar to a sinus infection, such as headaches, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and tiredness. Itchy watery eyes are also common when smoke becomes thick. Nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness and fainting are symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and can be experienced when situated too close to wildfires and is a real danger for our fire fighters helping to stop these fires. It is extremely important to evacuate when authorities advise. Of particular concern, are the long term effects of smoke inhalation which occur because particles travel deeply

into the respiratory tract, reaching the lungs, causing respiratory irritation, swelling and blockages resulting in further shortness of breath. This in turn, worsens medical conditions such as asthma, COPD, bronchitis and heart disease. When smoke is bad, staying indoors with the windows and doors shut, is the best defense against smoke inhalation. If you have an air conditioning unit, use the recirculate air setting or be sure to close the fresh air vent. Changing the HEPA filters often is also a must. If symptoms are mild, try to help yourself by staying hydrated, drinking plenty of water and warm liquids to help flush particles and contaminants from your body. Help restore and moisten nasal passages by using a humidifier in the bedroom while you sleep.

14th Kids Don’t Float Kiosk At Seymour Arm By Diane Beebe With installation of their 14th Kids Don't Float Kiosk at Beswick Park in Seymour Arm, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCMSAR) has left its mark at the very top of the Shuswap. Station 106 Shuswap is one of 46 marine patrol stations in BC, most of them in the lower mainland and coast, that provide and erect the PFD (aka life jackets) loaner kiosks. The unattended kiosks have assorted sizes of children's PFDs which are borrowed and returned on the honor system. The RCMSAR reports often there are more PFDS on the kiosks at summer’s end than were hung in the spring. The August 8th installation was

coordinated by Bruce Weicker and Fred Banham of Station 106 and was just in time for the 21st Annual Dave Milligan Swim Across the Lake, which ends at Beswick Park. This year’s Swim attracted 68 swimmers. The swimmers are sponsored by friends and family. Money goes right back into the community to purchase buoys, rafts and floats for the Park. The Swim, organized by Carol and Lesly Milligan, provided 25% of the cost of the Kiosk. Seymour Arm Community Association coordinated with RCMSAR to have approval and grant funding from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District to make this project possible.

Skwlax Pow Wow By Jo Anne Malpass The three-day Skwlax Pow wow in August, an expression of Indigenous spirituality, history and culture, featured drummers and dancers competing at the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band Skwlax Pow wow grounds. Pow wow dances, drum music, singers and regalia are sacred elements of the celebration, meant not only to entertain, but also to tell important stories about personal and cultural history. At the Saturday grand entrance, drum music was played to honour the flags and to honour war veterans. The competitive powwow had dance categories for women, men and children. Dancers who scored the highest in their category received awards or cash prizes. Dancers score based on dance category as well as regalia and dancing abilities. Powwow dancers dressed in regalia appropriate for the dance category and with significance to the dancer. This includes not only the dress or outfit worn, but also the accessories, such as moccasins, eagle feather fans, jewellery and make-up.

The tournament had four age categories for boys and girls and men and women, with up to seven different dances in each; Junior 7 – 12, teen 13 – 17, adults 18 – 49 and Golden Age. Some of the different dances were traditional, grass, fancy, jingle and chicken. There was also hoop dances and a drum contest. Special events included Ladies Jingle, Men’s Fancy, Outgoing Miss Skwlax and crowning of new Miss Skwlax, a tiny tots dancing competition for children under six and a Lahal Tournament. There were four grand entrances, each kicking off a set of dance competitions. At the Saturday afternoon grand entrance, Chief Oliver Arnouse, Indigenous leaders in representative regalia, MP Mel Arnold, MP Cathy McLeod and Chase councillor Steven Scott welcomed the crowd to the event. Indigenous vendors, from as far away as Mexico and the east coast of Canada, were selling a variety of items, including leather goods and art, bannock, jewelry and moccasins.

Park Renamed Tsútswecw By Jo Anne Malpass The signs are up, marking the official renaming of Roderick Haig-Brown Park to Tsútswecw Park. The Secwepemc name, pronounced ‘choo-chwek’, is the indigenous word which translates to ‘many rivers’. This audio file gives the proper pronunciation. http:// www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/ explore/parkpgs/roderick/ tsutswecw.m4a A formal naming ceremony is planned as part of the upcoming Salute to the Sockeye Festival opening ceremonies on September 30. Every fourth year is a “dominant” salmon run, with millions of fish expected in Adams River this year. The park is located on both sides of the Adams River, between Adams Lake and Shuswap Lake. 2018 marks the 22nd celebration of the Salute to the Sockeye. It runs daily from Sept. 28 to Oct. 21, 8:00am – 4:00pm. Two other parks in BC have also been renamed.

Brooks Peninsula Park on Vancouver Island will be renamed to Mquqwin/Brooks Peninsula Park. Mquqwin means “The Queen” in the Nuu-Chah-Nulth language. Boya Lake Park near the northwestern B.C. border will be renamed Tā Ch’ilā Park, meaning “holes in a blanket,” at the request of the Kaska Dena First Nation. The changes “allow our government to take an important step forward towards our ongoing reconciliation efforts with Indigenous peoples throughout British Columbia, which includes honouring the commitments we made under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples,” said George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy. “The renaming of these parks to traditional Indigenous names, as rooted in history, reflect the significant heritage values recognized by all British Columbians and beyond.”

New signs have been placed for Tsútswecw Park, formerly Roderick Haig-Brown. Picture credit Terra Wojciechowski

Triton Builds Kamloops Airport Floatplane Dock By Jo Anne Malpass Triton Docks of Scotch Creek was the company chosen by Kamloops Airport to build an updated floatplane dock system along the Thompson River, adjacent to the airport on Aviation Way. The grand re-opening of this new dock system to provide safer and muchimproved access by float to the airport, was held in late July. Office manager Nadine Mayer said one of Triton’s customers is a member of the Kamloops Flying Club. He recommended Triton’s product, which in turn led the

Airport Authority to invite Triton to provide a quote. The lower docks, upper deck, gangway and launch are open and ready to welcome floatplane operators, as well as pleasure craft boaters. By creating this additional access, Kamloops airport has now enabled opportunities for increased tourism throughout the region. Members of the community can also enjoy the improvements, as the floatplane dock now connects with the City of Kamloops Rivers Trail and offers park benches and great water views.

By Kris Jensen This summer we have been very active in recruiting doctors and, in particular, a doctor. At the time of writing this article, I am not sure what the result will be but it has been very educational for me as to what we have to do to make this happen. There is still no doubt that accommodation is a major factor. As negotiations continued, we were very fortunate to get an offer from Peter Kingma, who is doing the Osprey Landing Development in Scotch Creek. He agreed to purchase a home on the condition that a doctor would enter into a lease for 3 years. It has always been a pleasant surprise to me of the ability of North Shuswapians to come the need of our Society and this is perfect example. We continue to explore all new available options to accomplish our goals. I am very confident that eventually we will be successful. We take advantage of the rural locum program, which provides 38 days to us for locum doctors to attend at our clinic and provide medical services. One might think that these locum doctors would be a good source to recruit full

time doctors to our community but I have learned that is probably not going to be the case. This program provides a salary to the doctors and I have learned that the doctors, who take advantage of this program like it just the way it is. Our web page has been more successful in recruiting doctors and we will need to look at other avenues such as advertising in medical periodicals and attending medical conferences. I wish to remind everyone of our Annual General Meeting, which is on Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at 7 p.m. at the North Shuswap Community Hall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Club Room, Celista, BC. On the Agenda will be the final endorsement of the required Society Bylaw and Constitution updates. A turnout of interested community members would be most appreciated as we will benefit from as much input as possible. As discussed in earlier articles, we are in need of new Board members.

School Starts September 4 By Jo Anne Malpass From September to June, parents in rural areas send their children off to school on the big yellow school bus, trusting that their child will get to class and back home safely. They are counting on motorists to do the right thing (the law-abiding thing) by slowing down in school zones and coming to a complete stop when approaching a school bus with its red lights flashing. TranBC says be aware of signs, school buses, playgrounds and other things that indicate that children could be close by. REMEMBER: When you see a school bus stopped, with its red lights flashing, you must stop too. You stop whether the bus is oncoming, or you are behind the bus. When you see a bus with flashing amber lights, slow down and prepare to stop. The bus is preparing to stop or may already be stopped. Stay stopped until the bus moves on, or the driver signals that it’s safe for you to proceed, by turning off the flashing lights. (Some buses also have a stop sign that swings out from the bus, or a digital display). Sadly, not everyone does stop when the school bus lights are flashing and kids could be on the road. And every time someone doesn’t stop for the bus, a child’s life is at risk.

Play Clean Go Getting out on the trails can be one of the best things about summer. Whether it is biking, horseback riding, hiking, or a simple stroll with the dog, enjoying summer outdoors is part of living in beautiful BC. Believe it or not, many invasive species are able to hitch a ride with us. To help keep the trails in good order, it is important to prevent invasive species from infesting these natural areas. CSISS has installed Play Clean Go signs at trail heads throughout the region with attached boot brushes (that can be used on bikes too). To keep your trails free

Greg Kyllo, MLA Shuswap Changing our electoral system shouldn’t be easy. Change should only come on the heels of a lengthy, thoughtful, and transparent process of education and debate. These were the guiding principles that the former BC Liberal government held in the 2005 and 2009 electoral referendums. I fully support British Columbians having their say in electoral reform. However, have a big problem with the inherent unfair process that the NDPGreen minority government has created. The current government has removed the 60 per centplus-one province-wide ap-

proval requirement, as well as the regional threshold requiring 50 per cent of all of BC’s electoral districts to approve of any change to our electoral system. As a replacement, the NDP has approved a 50 per cent-plusone province-wide rule. Which means the decision for how our province votes will likely be made in BC’s largest urban centres. This change to our voting threshold breaks the NDP’s promise to ensure strong regional representation. Mind you, the NDP also promised a simple yes/no question (we’re actually getting a complex, multi question ballot), as well as an all-party (Continued on page 43)

committee of the legislature that would work out the details for this referendum. More promises made and broken. The NDP and Greens have intentionally left inefficiencies in their plan in order to get the results that they want. Firstly, they have opted to hold this referendum via mail-in ballot, which will drive a lower voter turn-out. Secondly they failed to schedule the referendum on October 20th, the same day that local elections are being held across BC. Finally, there are no minimum voter turnout requirements for approval. If voter turnout is similar to previous referenda in our province, that would still mean that our electoral system could be changed by less than a quarter of BC’s population. While the exact details of the three systems remain fuzzy, what we do know is that PR will bring: much larger ridings, MLAs appointed to the Legislature by political parties, a complicated ballot, a shift in power from local representation to

political parties, a proliferation of small fringe parties, minority governments, and more frequent elections. A number of crucial details on the different voting systems such as: maps, boundary definitions, how the ballots will work, or candidate list rules, will not be forthcoming until after the referendum is over! Dozens of details are unknown and won’t be known when British Columbians are asked to vote. Yet, the NDP-Greens want British Columbians to pick one of the three PR systems, with details to be provided later. Trust us. Don’t worry. Wait and see. Premier Horgan even had the audacity to say people should use “the Google” to inform themselves about the three PR systems. To me, that’s just not good enough, it’s not fair, and it’s not right. I suspect during the upcoming referendum, British Columbians will send exactly that message to the NDP-Greens: thanks, but no thanks. Watch for more from me on this important topic in the coming weeks.

Salmon Forecasting and Escapement Surveys When you attend the Salute to the Sockeye at Adams River this fall, you may see Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Stock Assessment crew conducting an escapement survey. Pre-season forecasts of salmon returns are based on biological and/or statistically based models. The variables typically used in the production of stock forecasts are historic trends in escapements and total returns, returns of sibling age classes, and returns and escapement of the brood (parental) year. There is a growing use of environmental conditions as a variable factored into forecasts. As Pacific salmon begin returning to spawn each year, DFO engages in a process of in-season "re-forecasting", adjusting the pre-season run

size forecasts based on actual observations of salmon abundance. These re-forecasts are conducted on a regular basis for various stocks using a variety of analytical models and information from several sources including catch rates in test fisheries and commercial fisheries, other harvest information and escapement surveys. Coast-wide, DFO and its partners expend considerable effort to determine salmon escapements (the number of salmon that reach the spawning grounds after "escaping" the fisheries). Work is done with a range of partners, including local Indigenous and nearby community organizations. Techniques used include counting fences, visual surveys and mark-recapture programs.

By Gerry Shea The Men’s Match Play Championship has been completed and Craig Golemblaski is the 2018 match play champion. The “B” side winner, Jim Taylor, made the match interesting as he won the first round and took the second round to the 9th hole, but Craig’s par score of 3 prevailed over Jim’s bogey 4. Thanks to all of the guys who signed up and played in the tournament. August 16 was the annual Stableford tournament and Tim Drader was the winner with a total score of twenty-one. Many thanks to our Club Captain, Floyd Forsch, for his work in organizing the Thursday men’s night tournaments and insuring that the hole prizes and the low net/low gross prizes were fairly distributed.

Stories of those who were lured by gold Bby Jim Cooperman, author of Everything Shuswap [Third in a series of four columns about the Scotch Creek gold rushes.) While little is known about those who panned for gold in Scotch Creek during the first and second gold rushes, there are still oldtimers around who remember the solitary men who lived in crude cabins and barely made wages in their quest for the motherlode. Except for the walk on the flat ground just south of the forks, searching for their cabins has been challenging, due to the steep ground, fallen trees and thick bush. It is no doubt that these gold miners were a tough breed who could endure the hardships, the loneliness, and strenuous work. The most famous miners of them all was William Henstridge, who was also known as Billy the Trapper and was one of the first to homestead in what is now Sorrento. He came to B.C. to prospect for gold after travelling across Canada with a Red River cart and oxen. On his way he took

part in the last buffalo hunt in Saskatchewan, was a scout for the Northwest Mounted Police, and he fought in the Riel Rebellion for both sides, depending on which district he was in. After travelling throughout the province, in 1892 Billy decided to homestead along the south shore of Shuswap Lake next to Newsome Creek. He built a cabin, cleared some land, laid out a trap line, raised bees, and built a blacksmith shop. Soon trappers from throughout the region would bring their furs to Billy’s cabin, from where they would be transported to Notch Hill for shipment on the trains. The sternwheelers also landed at Billy’s beach and thus it became known as Trapper’s Landing. In 1906, John and Florence Reedman’s second son was born in Billy’s blacksmith shop, which had become the friendly stopping off place for most of the settlers and prospectors on the lake. Billy had trap lines at Adams Lake where he had a (Continued on page 49)

Kickin’ Tech News Turbocharge your PC John Seymour Lakeside Technical Solutions

There is nothing more annoying and frustrating than a sluggish computer. Whether it takes forever to boot up or just seems lethargic overall, nobody likes to wait for things to happen where their computers are concerned. While there are many reasons why your computer might behave this way, there is a sure fire way to speed up any PC regardless of what other issues it may have. The majority of computers have a mechanical storage device inside of them, normally referred to as a hard drive(HDD). Hard drives contain a stack of platters that spin at high rates of speed and tiny heads that read and write data from them. They are without question the slowest thing in your computer and almost all operations use the hard drive extensively. The hard drive is a major factor in how well your PC performs. Now there is an electronic alternative for the hard drive that operates many times faster than its mechanical counterpart. They are referred to as solid state drives or SSD’s. SSD’s have been around for a few years but until recently, were quite expensive and generally too small in capacity to be a useful as the main drive in a computer. All that has changed as the technology has continued to improve and the prices have dropped. Replacing your hard drive with an SSD is now an affordable and very effective solution for a

sluggish PC. For example, a 500GB SSD, which is generally big enough for most laptops, can now be purchased for less than $200. For a desktop computer, a 240GB SSD (around $150) can be used and the existing mechanical hard drive can be re-utilized as a secondary drive for holding large amounts of personal data such as documents and pictures. Replacing your HDD with an SSD is fairly straightforward but does require some technical expertise. In basic terms, you will need to ‘clone’ your existing drive and then physically swap the drives once the cloning process is complete. Free cloning software is readily available online and many drives include the hardware, software and instructions to make the process easier. A laptop is a little trickier because you need some way to connect the new drive in order to clone to it. Again, many SSD drives will come with the hardware needed to do that so check the box or talk with the salesperson. A desktop computer is a little easier because it already will have the space to install a second drive. Also, SSD drives are the same size as existing laptop drives so will fit perfectly in a laptop but will require a caddy for mounting into a desktop. If you are interested to learn more or need help with the install, feel free to get in touch. (250)955-0816 johnseymour@Lakesidetech.ca www.lakesidetech.ca

Letters to the Editor JOB WELL DONE FIRE FIGHTERS.... Scotch Creek Fire I witnessed the Fire in Scotch Creek on Wednesday Aug 8. My view point was from the lake in my boat. I was a 35 year member of a paid fire department, so when we saw the fire start I realized its serious consequences. We watched as the fire grew and the first trucks from Scotch Creek Fire department arrived. I knew of the serious tasks that were facing these fire fighters (water supply, exposures, and a fully involved house) My Family and I watched in amazement (with my play by play commentary) as these fire fighters struggled to gain control of this inferno. They lost the house, which was a given, but they SAVED THE MOUNTAIN .... The communities of

Scotch Creek, Celista, and others are lucky to have such courageous, dedicated and well trained fire fighters which service their communities with pride, professionalism, and unstinting service. So next time you see a fire truck, heed the right of way give them a wave of support (and maybe drop off a case of beer at their fire hall with a note off appreciation) Please pass along to all those involved that in my opinion they were amazing, resulting in the best possible outcome. Saving your community and the government of BC the huge expense off having to deploy their already stretched fire service. Rob Fort Anglemont

Etiquette Can we talk for a minute neighbours? If you put something out on the road for free and after 5 or 6 days it’s gone it’s not Magic, it’s frustration. If it takes days to magically vanish then one of your neighbours was sick of looking at your junk and hauled it to the dump. This leaves you with delusions that you can put just about anything on the road for free and like magic, it’s gone. Please monitor

how long your junk is on the road or to do the responsible thing and take your junk to the dump yourself. Now if you enjoy resting your junk on the road please be sure it’s in front of your own place not someone else’s place because that just wouldn’t be very neighbourly would it?

Letters to the Editor Celista RV Park The impact of changing this rural residential property to RV Park will be felt by ALL residents in and around Celista. Our property values will ALL be adversely affected. If you live within the 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and even a mile vicinity of this proposed Shuswap Lake RV Resort, we will all see a drop in our property values. When anyone goes to sell, or even rent their property, the value will drop if this amendment to change from Official Community Plan rural residential to commercial RV Park when or if developed. When property comparisons, “comps” are made, the impact of this will be felt by ALL residents. Those of us who have already built or bought homes all had property appraisals done with the current OCP in effect (meaning the “buffer” of CSRD OCP’s designation of one unit per hector). Those of us (the majority of Celista) who are already here, don’t have a choice and will be forced to accept the drop in the value of our homes, as it was rural residential when we got our appraisals done, not commercial. We don't want anyone in our amazing neighbourhood, to be "upside down" on their mortgages because we owe more than our property is worth.

We don't have any issues with a land owner wanting to make money from their property. But we DO have an issue with them making money at the cost of many of families losing THOUSANDS of dollars of value in their homes. We all bought our homes here, love living here, and want to protect the overall quality of our neighbourhood and at all costs the lake!! Please beware of the REZoning application (?) and the new development plan (?) This will not happen because Celista has no zoning. The CSRD has not been involved so far and have not enforced its own OCP. The CSRD’s excuse is that no applications or site plans have been submitted and they are not aware of any violations of the OCP at this time. We must start protecting our lake and the lands surrounding its shores from over developing. These types of high density developments can only do more harm than good to our most precious resource “the lake”. I felt it was time to make all North Shuswap residents aware of this development that is happing here in Celista. Wayne Woods Celista

Shuswap Community Foundation – Scotiabank Franks for the Foundation Submitted by Paula Shields The 2nd annual Franks for the Foundation Hot Dog Sale was a community fundraiser organized and hosted by the Papworth Team of Scotia Wealth Management. It is an opportunity for the community to come out and show their love and support for the Shuswap by supporting the Shuswap Community Foundation. All donations received are matched by Scotiabank through the Scotiabank Team Community Program. Scotiabank aims to help increase relationships amongst people who live and work in a community by giving generously to important community projects, and by recognizing employees who volunteer their time and energy to local causes. The bank strives to make a positive difference wherever it does business. In 2017 Franks for the Foundation Fundraiser raised $2,268 for the Shuswap Community Foundation, matched by Scotiabank Team Community Program, with funds going to the Don & Irene Rogers Endowment Fund. The Don & Irene Rogers Endowment Fund is a Discretionary Fund that supports projects initiated by charities and non-profit organizations operating the Shuswap Area. Former Salmon Arm Mayor Don Rogers and his wife Irene’s love for the Shuswap was evident in their involvement in community life spanning three decades.

Don and Irene’s contributions went beyond the political arena as they were very involved in heritage and restoration. They worked with the Salmon Arm Museum and Heri tage Association, and were instrumental in the decision to build the new Museum on the Haney property in 1988. As project manager, Don helped to move the North Broadview School and the Mount Ida Church to Haney Park. Upon retirement Don volunteered as project manager for the 5th Avenue Seniors Activity Centre. In memory of Don, and inspired by their love of the Shuswap Irene felt that helping others was the best way to give back to a community that had been good to them and has been home since 1978. Shuswap Community Foundation is grateful to Scotiabank Team Community Program for the donations raised this year, totaling $2,993.00. The proceeds from Franks for the Foundation 2018 fundraiser are being deposited to Shuswap Community Foundation Administration Endowment. The SCF Administration Endowment plays a very important role for SCF in that it is the Fund that supports the administrative cost of running the Foundation, which enables SCF to better carry out its mission: Connecting people who care with causes that matter.

Over the decades I have noticed an interesting trend. The first Sunday after August 15th is the exodus of summer residents leaving the Shuswap for home. It’s a steady stream of cars and trucks heading out. It’s school supplies at Walmart time. Even mature people get the signal, it’s time to leave our beloved North Shuswap. The roads go quiet and there are no lineups at the stores and gas stations so the very busy summer season is over. About a week after school starts in September is when the fall market gets active as buyers with no children in tow, shop for property. The fall market ends when winter arrives. And so another cycle ends and another one begins.

By Jan Penner Welcome back everyone. We have a number of new faces at North Shuswap this year, starting with our new Principal, Mr. Paul Rosman. Staff and students met him when he visited with us in June. Mr. Rosman and his family reside in Salmon Arm. His wife Trudy is an LRT at Bastion, son Kaedan is in grade 8 at SMS and 21month-old Theo keeps everyone on their toes. Mr. Rosman has been in our district for 13 years. As well as being an educator, he has also been very involved with coaching baseball and hockey. He is very enthusiastic about his new position and looks forward to meeting all the members of our school community. As well, Ms. Rhonda Witzke joins us in Division 2 (grade 5/6), and Ms. Sara Haugland will be in Division 4 (grade 1-2), We will introduce these new people next month! Library and LRT positions have not been filled at this time but we are excited to welcome whoever accepts these positions. We are also pleased to announce that we have 2 student teachers from TRU joining us. Ms. Ally Paxton will be with Mr. Schmidt and the 7/8 class, and Mr. Quinn Bailey will be with Mrs. Penner and the K/1 class. Both will be with us for September and then will be back for an additional 10 weeks starting in January. We are very excited to have them with us and look forward to a really great

experience! In keeping with new practices, Kindergarten Registration for the 2019-2020 year will be taking place on Tuesday, October 9. To register your child, bring their CareCard and Birth Certificate to the office at North Shuswap School and Mrs. Dawson will be happy to help you with the forms. Making connections with the school and staff early on helps to make the transition to Kindergarten easier for you and your child. With the school buses on the road again, here is a gentle reminder that RED MEANS STOP! When you see a big, bright yellow vehicle with amber lights, slow down and when the lights change to red, STOP! As well, even though our roadways are not posted for it, please slow down when children are walking along the road or waiting at bus stops. A few extra seconds in your journey might save a life. Please slow to posted speed through the school zone. We will again be accessing the beach regularly this year and a safe crossing each time is vital. Again, a few extra seconds in your travel time will make a huge difference. It will also make a huge difference to your wallet should a surprise speed surveillance happen to be in place! Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to another great year at North Shuswap School!

• 2 limes (1 juiced, 1 for slicing) • 2 tbsp. soy sauce (I used low

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, grease lightly, and lay salmon on top. Season salmon with salt & pepper to taste. Slice one lime thinly, and slide the slices under the edges of the salmon. 2. In a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Stir in honey, sriracha sauce, juice of one lime (about 1 tablespoon), soy sauce, & garlic. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes longer. 3. Pour ⅔ of the sauce over the salmon (reserve remaining sauce for later) and use a spoon or spatula to make sure the sauce covers all of the salmon (you just don't want any "dry" spots). Fold the edges of the foil up around the salmon so the sauce doesn't spill out everywhere (the foil doesn't need to completely cover the salmon). 4. Bake for 15 minutes, then switch to broil & cook another 4-5 minutes until the very edges of the salmon begin to char slightly - watch carefully so the whole salmon doesn't burn. 5. Top salmon with reserved sauce, chopped cilantro and serve.

DID YOU KNOW …. Salmon Facts – (1)Salmon lay about 1500 eggs per nest. (2) Newly hatched Salmon are called sac fry or alevin. They remain in fresh water for 3-6 years, until they become sufficiently strong to swim in the ocean.(3) Salmon depend on their sense of smell, the moon, and the ocean currents to find waters where they were born.(4)The eggs of a female salmon are referred to as roe.

She retired with her husband to Magna Bay, BC. and spent some very happy years there. Peggy enjoyed gardening, watching hockey and really enjoyed reality talent shows. She had a love for music and played piano by ear. She loved her family and was a caregiver at heart. Peggy was married to her husband for 50 years, losing him just 2 days after their 50th anniversary.
