Canada Day events back on track Receding water means beach parks should be open for events. Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer
Thanks to Mother Nature, Shuswap Lake peaked just below the level recorded in 2012. Happy to see the lake water receding, officials in Salmon Arm and Sicamous are more confident Canada Day celebrations will take place in their chosen venues. In Salmon Arm, Canada 150 committee chair Louise Wallace Richmond says barring major, unforeseen events, the Canada Day celebration will play out as planned at 6 p.m. at Canoe Beach. “All indications are yes,” said an enthusiastic Wallace Richmond, noting city staff are busy cleaning
the beach of debris as the water recedes. “The committee really thought that a gathering at the beach, on the lake, was the most iconic and authentic place in which to celebrate.” As water recedes and clean-up is affected, popular sites will reopen. “For public safety reasons, we are waiting until the water drops below the first concrete wall and the stairs are visible,” says Rob Niewenhuizen, City of Salmon Arm director of engineering and public works of the goal to reopen the beach this weekend. “The high-water brought in a substantial amount of logs and debris which also has to be cleaned up

the display from the road near the course if necessary. “We’re still hoping to have it at Beach Park; we’re watching the water and we’ll make a final decision on Tuesday,” says Rysz, noting there are still several days remaining before Canada Day. “We’re gonna have it, it’s just a question of where.” Much like the role Mother Nature plays in rising lake levels every year, weather has a definite effect on how and when water recedes from Shuswap lakes and rivers. Bernhard Kramer’s popular Shuswap Lake Watch website notes the lake peaked at 349.072 metres on June 10, not far off the Continued on A3

prior to opening the beach.” The scenario is similar in Sicamous where hopes are high that Canada Day festivities will be held, as usual, at Beach Park. But Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz says that while district staff are doing an awesome job with cleanup efforts, there are still water issues at Beach Park. On the off chance it’s a no-go at Beach Park, the District of Sicamous has come up with an alternative location for the fireworks in the bay on Mara Lake. Rysz says people will have to seek out their own vantage points and notes Hyde Mountain Golf Club officials have said they will welcome fireworks fans to view

Snowpack not a factor Continued from A1 2012 peak of 349.660 when melt of mid- and high-level snow, combined with rain, caused massive flooding. Snow is lingering at the higher elevations, but no longer a factor in this year’s freshet, says David Campbell, head of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ River Forecast Centre. As of Monday afternoon, the water in Shuswap Lake had dropped 30 centimetres over the course of a week and snow pillows at Park Mountain and Celista were down by about two-thirds and 90 per cent respectively, said Campbell. “It’s dropping about five centimetres a day, the same as the Thompson River,” he said Tuesday, noting water levels in the Eagle, Adams and Shuswap rivers are all dropping as well. He says 15 millimetres of rain that fell in the Shuswap last week did not have much effect on the lake, another indication that, barring severe weather, freshet is finished for

Along with replacing the windows and painting it, he will be installing an elevator and a handicapped washroom to make it accessible to all. He adds that he’s not finished with the outside yet. “I’m going to do one other thing, but I’ll leave it as a surprise,” Laird says. “We have to keep moving our little town forward.”

Existing buildings can be painted and have their windows replaced without a building permit, so the design review panel has not been involved. Laird notes that the panel doesn’t look at colours but more at features such as parking, access and landscaping. “It’s feedback for the council, they just want to make sure some local folks have looked at it and have given them comment.” Kevin Pearson, the city’s director of development services, notes there is no requirement for consistent themes or colours in the city and says there are many.

Laird is chair of the city’s design review panel, which advises city council on the design merits of development permit applications filed with the city. The panel’s guidelines come from the official community plan. One of those guidelines “is the use of local materials and earth-tone colours to reflect Salmon Arm’s natural setting.” Another makes reference to corner sites, stating: “…Locate the principal building at the corner, and design as a reference point or landmark.” While Laird’s building may not reflect the most common earth tones, it will likely become a landmark.

A Rubik’s Cube? A Lego creation? Those are a couple of musings expressed about the brightly painted former home of the school board office in the 100 block of Shuswap Street. Red, yellow, green and orange blocks of paint radiate from the formerly beige exterior walls. Owner Bill Laird told the Observer his colourful plan was simple. “That building is a square box. So I wanted to do something different that would make it stand out and add a bit of colour to town. I think it’s good for the town to have a few buildings that are a little bit different.” He says he’s not at liberty to say publicly yet which businesses will be making the building home, but the colour is unrelated. Regarding the choice of hue, he says: “There are lots of cities in the world that have bright colours on buildings... Much of Salmon Arm has been beige for years, so I guess I thought it was an opportunity to have a bright spot and a landmark in town.”

Woman rescued from raging creek Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News
A 22-year-old Kelowna woman is alive, thanks to the actions of the Sicamous Fire Department. Around 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 11, the woman was visiting Two Mile Falls with her boyfriend. She fell off one of the rocks and was carried downstream over two smaller falls in Sicamous Creek, before she was able to climb onto a large rock protruding from the raging water. Police and Shuswap Search and Rescue, a team that has special swift-water training and equipment, were also called. But, Sicamous Fire Chief Brett Ogino said that, while there were some challenges, four members of the Sicamous Fire Department have rope training and swift-water training and decided to effect a rescue “Our assessment was that she had been there for a bit and was probably suffering from hypothermia,” he says, noting the woman had slipped from a viewing point at the bottom of Two Mile Falls, dropped 20 feet down two smaller falls and another 40 or 50 feet before climbing onto a rock and hold-
ing onto that for dear life and screaming. “By the time we got her off the rock, she was pretty terrified.” Ogino says the woman is very lucky in that the water level had come down over the previous couple of days and she was able to climb onto the isolated rock as there are “nasty piles of trees and swift water” below. “If she had fallen off the rock, she would have been in serious trouble,” he adds. He says firefighters were very concerned for the woman and it was difficult not to rush across the fast-moving creek to rescue her. But rescue required thoughtful and careful preparation before firefighter Dan Roddick, who has swift-water-awareness training, was ready to cross the creek to harness the woman and get her safely to shore. “She was very cold but still responding and talking when we got her off the rocks and up the hill to the ambulance,” he says. “We’re very lucky; we are not equipped, but we were able to make decisions to save her life,” he says, noting he can understand SAR concerns that
firefighters did not wait 40 minutes more for the Salmon Armbased SAR swift-water team to arrive. “We know from the experts’ perspective it was not a textbook rescue, but it saved her life.” Ogino says despite the fact the dramatic creek rescue was the first he has been involved with in his 20 years of experience and the costs of training and buying and maintaining the equipment are high, the department will definitely look at getting swift-water equipment in the future. While Ogino spoke only to the rescue operation itself, Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz and Chief Administrative Officer Evan Parliament were quick to

The were the first to arrive at the location and that was probably a major component in saving

On death and Internet taxes
There’s a hoax that has been circulating for many years, that the government wants a five-cent tax on emails, sort of an electronic stamp. Over the years, it’s got widespread attention, sometimes even making it onto newspaper pages, with the resulting public backlash you might expect. Which makes it all the more amazing that a government committee was calling for a five per cent tax on Internet Services before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shot the idea down late last week. The email tax hoax dates back to the late 1990s and gives the premise as helping Canada Post, losing millions of dollars in revenue each year as people switched from snail mail to email. The premise for the current, and very real, ISP surcharge suggestion is to help fund Canadian media industries as they struggle to adapt to changing technology. There is already a levy on cable bills for just this reason. It supports the Canadian Media Fund, which spent nearly $372 million last year on Canadian Television and digital media projects. It’s hard not to look at all that revenue and not want a chunk, but trying to turn back the clock is not a workable solution. One thing is certain, though. The email surcharge hoax is not likely to ever go away, but then neither is the greed of governments wanting to divert more of the huge stream of money now flowing through the Internet. -Black Press

Derby draws out happy hordes the great OutDOOrs James Murray From five-thirty on they came. At first in small groups of two or three, then more and more until there was a steady stream. All in all, several hundred young anglers, all with an air of anticipation that defied the early hour, made their way to the end of the Salmon Arm wharf, followed by bleary-eyed adults carrying take-out cups of Tim Hortons coffee. While the kids were full of excitement, many of the adults trudged along carrying lawn chairs, with one or two, sometimes three, fishing rods tucked under their arms. All were heading to the end of the wharf for the start of the 21st Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby held this past Sunday in conjunction with Family Fishing Weekend. By 6 a.m. there was a pretty good lineup at the registration table where volunteers Ellen Murray, Sue Murray, Barb Angrignon and Mayor Nancy Cooper were busy taking names and writing numbers on derby partici-
pants’ wrists. Derby co-organizers Donna Flatman, Ali Vann and Aaron Alcoot, along with myself and a half-dozen Rotary members had already been there since 5 a.m. setting up. As in previous years, six lifeguards were on hand throughout the course of the morning - luckily enough their skills were not required. Within ten minutes of the official 7 a.m. start of the derby, Carson Blair caught and landed the first fish. Blair received a special handmade, wooden ‘keeper’ trophy (made by co-organizer Ali Vann) as well as a $100 gift certificate from Westside Stores for his catch. From then on and throughout the morning there was a steady stream of young anglers making their way to the weigh-in station. However, no one made the trek more often than Koen Koppel, who made 18 trips to record and weigh in all his fish. Koppel, who established a new record in the Most Fish category, won a rod and reel outfit and a one year pass to the SASCU Recreation
Centre swimming pool. Asa Weed place second and Darius Sept third in the category. Both received keeper trophies and rod and reel outfits. Midway through the morning, young Julian Hudson hooked and landed a whopping 3.558 kg. carp to take first-place honours in the Largest Fish category. He will have his name inscribed on the SASCU Credit Union - W. J. (Bill) Murray Memorial Trophy. Hudson also received an IM-6 graphite fly rod and reel outfit, and, will get to take his whole family on an all-expenses-paid weekend fishing trip to Pillar Lake Fishing Resort that includes accommodations, boat and motor and $100 worth of groceries from Askew’s Foods. Not bad for one coarse fish. Dain Jones took second place honours, while Alex Smolne placed third. Both received keeper trophies and rod and reel outfits. Nolan Walters and Aislynn Favell caught fish closest to a predetermined, secret hidden weight and each received a brand new shiny mountain bike and helmet from Canadian Tire. Two parents who took the time and made the effort to bring their kids to the derby won Family Appreciation prizes. One proud father, who had brought his
three sons to the derby, won a belly boat courtesy of Rotary, while another family will get to spend a half-day onboard a sport or pontoon boat, courtesy of Sea Dog Rentals. All in all, several thousand dollars worth of prizes were handed out both during the course of the event and at the awards ceremony following the derby. While it is sometimes hard for me to believe that 21 years have passed since the very first Kid’s Fishing Derby was held, I still get every bit as excited as the kids do come Sunday morning. I, too, feel anticipation. I can’t wait for the first fish to be caught and watch with pride as every young angler walks up to the weigh-in station to place their catch on the scales. Whether or not their fish is a contender for any of the prizes, all are weighed-in with a sense of accomplishment. For the winners in each category there are trophies and major prizes. For all the rest of the participants, as well as everyone else who takes part in the derby, whether organizing, volunteering, bringing their kids or just coming out to cheers the kids on, there is the reward of simply being a part of a worthwhile family event – and that’s a pretty good reward in itself if you ask me.

Quatar ‘quarantine’ a problem GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Public-spirited businessman Moutaz al-Hayat is flying 4,000 cows into Qatar from the United States and Australia to boost milk supply in his country, which is being blockaded by most of its Arab neighbours in the Gulf. It will take sixty flights, and is definitely not cost-effective. But that may not be his biggest problem. Ninety-nine percent of Qatar is open desert, and most of the very limited grazing areas for cattle are already fully occupied. Is al-Hayyat also going to airlift in the fodder for his 4,000 cows? There are many ridiculous aspects to the current crisis over Qatar – but it does have a serious side too. Compared to the real wars (Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya) currently raging in the Arab world, Qatar’s crisis is a bit like a tempest in a teapot. The country is tiny but rich, and nobody is getting killed there yet. Yet there is a blockade, and refugees, and troop movements, and it is not inconceivable that the gas-rich Gulf state might get invaded and its government overthrown. On 5 June all of Qatar’s Arab neighbours in the Gulf withdrew
their ambassadors from Doha, Qatar’s gleaming capital. They also cut all land, sea and air communications with the country. Roads were blocked and flights were banned, which is pretty serious for a country of 2.7 million people (only a quarter-million of them actual Arab citizens of Qatar) that produces almost nothing except abundant natural gas. Qatari citizens visiting or living in Saudi Arabia, Bahrein, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were ordered to leave within fourteen days. Qatar Airways lost its landing and overflight rights in those countries, necessitating extensive detours, and the Qatar-owned Al Jazeera television service was blocked. It is a real blockade because 40 percent of Qatar’s food comes in across its one land border, with Saudi Arabia, and that is now closed. The “refugees” are better dressed and educated than the normal ones, but the ban on Qataris living in the hostile countries and citizens of those countries living in Qatar is already uprooting people and breaking up families. As for military movements, there have been no reports of Saudi
Arabian troops moving towards the Qatari border, like they did before they rolled across the causeway into Bahrein in 2011, but speculation is rife that they might. The Saudis would love to replace the current Qatari ruler, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, with some member of the royal family who would toe the Saudi line. And since intra-family coups have become a bit of a tradition in Qatar, the Sheikh couldn’t complain if other family members decided that
are only about a hundred Turkish soldiers on the base yet, but it will accommodate 5,000 eventually. Turkey could fly the rest in very quickly if it chose to, and it just might do that if the crisis worsens. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has backed Qatar from the start. Does this mean that Turkey could end up fighting Saudi Arabia in defence of Qatar? It sounds very far-fetched, but things have got so violent and complex in the region that people

he had become a liability and opted for a Saudi-backed coup. This is a pretty lowkey crisis at the moment, but it could turn much nastier – and there are two further complicating factors. One is that Qatar hosts the biggest US military base in the Middle East: there are 10,000 American troops in the country. The other is that there is also a Turkish military base in Qatar. The Turkish-Qatari agreement was signed two years ago and there
and countries no longer just stab each other in the back. They are also stabbing each other in the front, the sides, and the unmentionables. Turkey and Qatar are both close US allies, but they support the same Sunni extremists in the Syrian civil war, and have lavished money and arms on some groups that both the United States and Saudi Arabia see as terrorists (ISIS, the Nusra Front, etc.).

Gulf states, used to support the same extremists. Now it doesn’t any more – or not all of them, anyway – and says it is blockading Qatar because that country does still give money to the “terrorists”. Whether that is true is debatable, but the Saudi Arabians managed to convince President Donald Trump that it was true during his recent visit to Riyadh, so Trump encouraged this blockade. Indeed, he takes the credit for it. “During my recent trip to the Middle East I stated that there can no longer be funding of radical ideology,” he said. “They said they would take a hard line on funding extremism and all reference was pointing to Qatar. Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end to horror of terrorism!” But the US Defense Department didn’t get the memo: on Wednesday it concluded a $12 billion arms sale to Qatar. Meanwhile, in Riyadh, they have just founded a “World Center for Countering Extremist Thought.” You couldn’t make this stuff up.

You may have also noticed that I have let my figure go a little bit so if you like going for walks that would be a really big (no pun intended) help. As you may have guessed, I think an adult home is where I would thrive the most. It can take me a while to warm up to other dogs if they are rowdy so if I am the only one in your home that would be just fine. I was brought in because where I moved to only allowed one dog. But I am excited to start anew with someone special!

Water clean and clear in South Shuswap Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer
Columbia Shuswap Regional District lifted boil water advisories for South Shuswap’s Lakeview Place Water System and Cedar Heights Water System were removed last Thursday morning. “Recent water quality tests have confirmed that turbidity levels have returned to acceptable levels,” said Utilities Team Leader Terry Langlois. The Lakeview Water System was recently acquired by the CSRD and will be connected to the adjacent Cedar Heights water system, which is already owned and operated by the regional district. In order to provide
sustainable, reliable water to the Lakeview Place Subdivision, directors at the regional district’s June 15 board meeting in Salmon Arm approved the hiring of Turn-Key Controls to provide, install and commission the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and the electrical and instrumentation upgrades for the Lakeview water system The upgrade and connection project to the Cedar Heights Water System comes with a total price tag of $61,100 plus applicable taxes. Langlois says the project is jointly funded through the Area C Community Works
Fund as well as a grant through the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund. Meanwhile, the regional district reminds users that sprinkling restrictions are in place for all CSRD water systems from May 15 to Sept. 15 annually. For more information, contact CSRD Operations Management at 250-833-5950. Other CSRD Board news: • The board empowered the authorized signatories to enter in to an agreement with 478868 BC Ltd. (dba McDiarmid Construction) to construct the addition to the Tappen/Sunnybrae Fire Hall for a total cost
of up to $665,000 plus applicable taxes. The Board also approved up to $20,000 plus applicable taxes from the Electoral Area C Community Works Fund allocation for energy efficient upgrades at the Tappen/Sunnybrae Fire Hall. • The Liquid Waste Management Plan includes a program to provide a community sewer system to the communities of Reedman Point, Blind Bay and Sorrento. Required action includes the establishment of a specified service area and loan authorization to purchase suitable land to conduct treatment and storage of effluent.

Make informed food choices HealtHy bites Serena Caner I don’t think chicken was on anybody’s menu last week– especially in Chilliwack. While the individual workers were blamed for their “sadistic” behaviour, could the problem be deeper? Could it be that when we delegate a terrible task to people to perform over and over, they become desensitized? Could it be that we demand cheap food and yet are still horrified when we find out the animals did not live a happy life? The reality is our current globalized agri-food system is damaging livelihoods, communities, and the environment. Our chickens (and cows, pigs, bananas…) have become anonymous and we no longer know where or
how they were raised. Halfway through my university training, UBC’s dietetic program shifted its lens and rebranded itself with a new focus: Land, Food and Community. Up to that point, the coursework had been in the sciences – biology, physiology, the dreaded biochemistry (taken twice). Suddenly, I was transported to a learning environment where the professors called themselves facilitators, and didn’t lecture so much as inspire conversation on pressing issues in our food system: sustainability, food literacy, food security, food sovereignty. Their message was urgent: if we want to maintain our rights
www.saobserver.net
to choose the kind of food we want to eat, we need to rethink our food system, because our current food supply is being controlled by fewer and fewer large, multinational companies. On Sunday, June 25, we all have a chance to make more informed choices about the food we consume. From Sorrento to Armstrong, 14 local farms are extending an invitation to the free “Visit a Farm” event. Producers of meat,
D
fruit, vegetables, grain, wine and beer will be opening their gates from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and welcoming visitors to find out about their operations and purchase their products. Maps and full details of the event can be found at www. shuswapfood.ca or at Askews Foods. Take a drive and find out about all the humanely-raised foods grown and produced in our own community.

Raising his voice about CSRD’s new noise bylaw
AT YOUR SERVICE
Columbia Regional Regional District director Rene Talbot made some noise of his own at the June 15 board meeting in Salmon Arm. The director for Falkland, Silver Creek, Deep Creek and Ranchero took issue with how the regional district plans to inform members of a public noise bylaw. The main intent of the proposed bylaw is primarily to provide the RCMP with ticket-
ing ability for the most egregious noise-related infractions, most often occurring during the evening/night and summer months. The bylaw, which has been given first reading, provides prohibitions against individuals or property owners from disturbing others peaceful enjoyment of their property or neighborhood. In short, the bylaw proposes that any loud or disruptive sounds that may be heard by a neighbouring property or
other premises in the vicinity be prohibited between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. Rather than hold a series of community and potentially costly public meetings, staff proposed using newspaper advertising, social media, webpage on the CSRD’s website, and an online survey to elicit comments. “Staff are of the opinion that due to the excessive costs of advertising and holding these meetings, and the staff
CSRD DIRECTOR
time required, that such public meetings are unnecessary given the straightforward nature of the bylaw,” reads a report presented to directors at the
a communications plan for Noise Bylaw No. 5754 to inform the public about the proposed bylaw by developing a Frequently Asked Questions Fact Sheet, with the information to be posted on the CSRD website, social media and available at the CSRD office, prior to considering second reading of the bylaw. The only one to speak out about the proposal was Talbot, who believes the regional district is shirking its duty to go

Where have all the bees and birds gone? ShuSWap OutdOOrS Hank Shelley Topping the stairs to a friend’s home at Tappen a couple days ago, I was confronted by two honey bee hives. Like happy little campers, the bees were targeting a profusion of wild roses surrounding the property. Kathy Meggyesi, owner of the hives, had it figured pretty good, as this gal knows her bees, collecting about 200 lbs of honey a season. She also realizes the
difficulty and problems the bees face in our ever-changing world of pesticide use and environmental change. Sitting down with her to find out more, she explained that genetically changed plants like corn will kill bees. A chemical in the corn has a detrimental effect, as have other plants, in the pollinating stage. Colony collapse disorder, ranging from fungi/mites/stress/vi-
ruses, also play a part in honey bee collapse. Other concerns are folks getting into beekeeping, not sure of what they are doing. Starting out is also quite expensive, by the time you purchase your supers, hives, queen and bees. Swarming: She also described how a queen left a hive and travelled to a residence. The bees swarmed between a wall, creating not only a constant buzz but was expensive to have the bees removed. Another friend in Sicamous was really disheartened when she found three bum-
blebees had died, after she had applied a weak solution of “Plant Prod” in water, over her flowers. She loved her bumblebees who lived in a hole in the ground beside her bleeding heart bush. As kids growing up on a small farm, there was an abundance of gentle bumblebees flitting about the garden, never stinging, even when disturbed. Too, there were always western bluebirds and butcher birds sitting on the fence wire, black cowbirds sitting on the cows’ backs, as they fed in the pasture.
An abundance too of many other songbirds, which are absent in today’s world!. My favourite has always been the bumblebee. But alas, four species are quickly disappearing in the U.S., with a 96 per cent decline and an 87 per cent shrinkage of their range. These bumblebees, are the most important pollinators of native plants. Bumblebees are noted for pollinating mostly tomatoes, blueberries and cranberries. There are 50 species of bumblebees, mostly frequenting the prairies and high alpine vegetation.
A parasite mainly affecting the bumblebee is the Nosema bombi. Despite the many pitfalls associated with bee-keeping, almost 2,000 folks in B.C. have started apiaries, since 2008. For many years, orchardists and blueberry farmers contracted beekeepers to set up hives for pollinating their fruit and berry crops. Now, on a small scale approach, many cities and towns, like Calgary Kamloops and Vernon, allow beekeepers’ hives, in backyards and urban locations. Important tips for those starting out: Take
a beekeeping course. Provide undisturbed spots in the garden for pollinators and shelters. Eliminate the use of pesticides. Join your local beekeepers association. Learn more at www.urbanbeenetwork.ca. For the many of us that love honey, the health benefits are great. Taking a teaspoon of honey at bedtime, boosts the immune system. Honey also has antioxidants – compounds that fight heart disease and cancer. Let’s all work environmentally to do what we can to help the bees help us.

If first impressions are anything to go by, Derek Sutherland is going to thrive in his new job. Sutherland was recently hired as team leader of protective services for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, with the responsibility for emergency management and fire services. He says he has happily surprised by the level of support he has received in her first few weeks on the job. “I have been very impressed by the level of professionalism both on the fire side and the emergency management side,” he said, noting former CSRD regional fire chief Kenn Mount left a first-class operation. “The SEP program (Shuswap Emergency Program) is an industry leader and I am impressed by the quality of the people involved in the volunteer program.” Sutherland said he couldn’t have asked for a better reception, or level of support, from his new colleagues, including SEP assistant Cathy Semchuk, whose support he describes as top-notch. “There have been so many emergency activations this spring – Cathy has dealt with nine or 10 this spring,” he said, noting he has been out to view the devastation in Sunnybrae. “The force of nature is something to behold.” Sutherland, who receives his masters in emergency management in September, initially earned a diploma in policing from Sir Sanford Fleming College in Peterborough, Ont. He spent 17 years in law enforcement as a peace officer and park ranger and was a firefighter for 12 years. Sutherland comes to the Shuswap from the small town of Didsbury, Alta., population around 5,000, located within the Calgary-Edmonton corridor.
In Didsbury, Sutherland oversaw the fire department, municipal enforcement and emergency management. Sutherland looks at a large map on the wall opposite to his desk. CSRD staff created it to help him become acquainted with the huge regional district and 13 firehalls he will oversee. “My goal is to create resilience within the community through community involvement,” he says referring to programs such as Fire Smart. “The more we can identify and address those issues the more resilience is built on the emergency management side.” Sutherland says he is looking forward to providing fire services co-ordinator Sean Coubrough and CSRD firefighters support when they need it.

Taurus, you’re motivated to get started on a new project, but you may not have the means. Find out if anyone is willing to invest in your vision. Avoid conflicts by talking through the situation with someone who has opposing views, Gemini. When you understand others’ perspectives, you can be more accommodating. Cancer, if life gets a little hectic this week, find a spot where you can relax and enjoy the quiet for a little while. Recharging the batteries may be all that’s needed.

Plaque fundraiser for Splash Pad Martha Wickett Salmon Arm Observer
The Chase Lions Club is getting close to halfway in its fundraising efforts for a water splash pad. Club president Beverley Iglesias reports that $159,320 has been raised of an overall budget of $360,678. The club’s next fundraiser is Pledge a Plaque. Within the border of the water splash pad, casted aluminum plaques will be placed bearing contributors’ names. These legacy plaques will be cemented in the history of the park for years to come. There are many ways to have your name on a plaque, which are valued at $5,000 each, explains Iglesias. For a Family Legacy, dedicate a plaque in your family name. For a Neighbourhood Legacy, gather 10 friends and neighbours at $500 each. Or consider a Corporate Legacy. Official income tax receipts are available. On May 24, reports Iglesias, the Chase Lions received a Family Legacy cheque for $20,000 towards a plaque in the park. “We thank and recognize the Clarence Wright Family for this gracious gift.

The Chase Lions Club is offering a family plaque fundraiser for the water splash pad planned for Chase. sorships for $5,000.00 each have also been received. These plaques are recognized on the window at 560 Shuswap Ave. The Chase Lions thank you for your kind sponsorship.” To sponsor a plaque, contact Iglesias at 250371-7136. The Lions Club notes that splash parks create an environment that children of all ages and abilities enjoy. The tiniest toddler can play with the gentle ground sprays while the older kids commandeer the cannons in an effort to spray their friends. Rain caps give the sense of
hiding from the water. Group volcanoes inspire kids to work together. Ground lily pad activators are low enough for all children. Wheelchairs easily access spray parks. Visually impaired children experience the exciting sensation of cool, plummeting water. Hearingimpaired children love the bright colours, the extra thick and tall components. Autistic children gain valuable social skills, and a water pad helps overcome the threat of drowning. During the salmon run of 2014, reports Iglesias, the Chase
Lions embarked on their water splash pad community project to enhance quality time for families. Full engineered drawings and an Interior Health permit are in hand. For 50 years, Iglesias reports, the Chase Lions Club has developed, assisted, encouraged and fostered community spirit. “2017 commemorates many accomplishments, 50 years Chase Lions, 100 years Lions International, but most important, Canada’s 150th birthday. What a legacy year for all
The BC Wildlife Park has generously provided family passes to enable residents throughout the regional district to visit the park. The family pass is valid for one visit of two adults and two children. Patrons can place a hold on the
pass through the library’s website. The Family Pass may be borrowed for one week. Late fees will be $1 per day to encourage a swift return as passes will be in high demand. Patrons will need to show the Family Pass and their TNRD Li-
brary Card to staff for admission. Beginning July 3 is the Summer Reading Club for children ages seven to 12. The club makes reading fun by inviting kids to read what they want, and helps keep reading skills sharp in the summer months.

Pípsell now heritage site Jacko Lake and area, also known as Pípsell, has been designated as a heritage site. Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwepemc Nation (SSN) leadership and members met on June 20 with their neighbouring Secwépemc and allies at the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park in celebration of the culmination of work around Pípsell, also known as Jacko Lake and area. It was the opening of the SSN Pípsell Exhibit and the inaugural screening of the video highlighting the June 11 designation of Pípsell as Secwépemc Nation Cultural Heritage Site. In March, the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn bands, collectively known as SSN, released their decision after months of study to oppose the proposed KGHM-Ajax Copper and Gold Mine, which would affect Pípsell. A news release states that the designation of Pípsell as a heritage site took place privately with the support of the Secwepemc Nation. The SSN, as stewards/guardians of Pípsell on behalf of the Secwépemc, confirmed that the overarching land use objective for Pípsell and the surrounding area is: Pípsell is a cultural keystone area which must be preserved in a state consistent with the traditional importance of the site to the Secwépemc people. Pípsell must only be used in ways which preserve and sustain the area, and which allow for the culture of the Secwépemc people to be exercised and maintained. SSN wants to ensure the future enjoyment of Pípsell as they deem it uniquely situated to serve as a place of sharing between indigenous and non-indigenous people. Shuswap Nation Tribal Chair, Chief Wayne Christian stated: “June 11, 2017, was a special moment for our nation as a whole. The community-centred decision made by SSN to say no to KGHM-Ajax

We cannot transport our connec-
tion to Pípsell to another site. It does not make sense to permanently sacrifice all that we have in Pípsell to obtain limited monetary and other benefits which will last for only 25 years. So, instead we choose to honour that connection by marking the land in ceremony and monuments. We are thankful to our many Secwepemc brothers and sisters for standing with us along with our many allies.” Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc Chief Fred Seymour stated:
“As stewards of our territory, we each have a responsibility to our families, communities, the Secwepemc Nation, as well as the guests of our homelands, to ensure that we are doing our best to ensure healthy people and environment for today and the future. We are pleased to share our story through this new exhibit and short video so that our intent is known. We are following in the footsteps of our ancestors, so that we may all be great and good.”

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Beware of thirdhand smoke FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC Dr. Warren Gage We have come a long way in our understanding about the risks of cigarette smoking. It was only as far back as the late 1940’s and early 1950’s that ads were on the television, in newsprint, and even in medical journals that “More Doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette”.
The advertising done by tobacco manufacturers was so effective that as recent as 1991 the American Medical Association published a report stating kindergarteners could more easily recognize the “Joe Camel” character than Barbie or Mickey Mouse. It was shortly after this report that
their marketing program was brought to an end. Fast forward to 2017 and it is now fully understood that smoking and second-hand smoke cause many health problems; however, this information is still not enough to sway a lot of people from this life threatening habit. In researching the health issues around smoking I recently came across a term that I had not heard which is “thirdhand smoke”. The
Mayo Clinic describes it as “residual nicotine and other chemicals left on a variety of indoor surfaces by tobacco smoke”. While primary and secondhand smoking are common knowledge, thirdhand smoke is now being shown to also have a negative effect on health. When a person smokes inside a building, opening doors and windows will eventually clear out primary and secondhand smoke; however, after prolonged
smoking indoors, the surfaces inside rooms will begin to accumulate the toxins from the smoke. This means that even once the air is clear of smoke, toxic pollutants stay on bedsheets, floors, walls, clothing and furniture. Not only do these toxins remain for months, but when combined with household cleaners they can react and produce even more toxic chemicals. In fact, thridhand smoke may actually be more of a risk to
Four tips for helping pets in need (NC) For pet owners, their dogs, cats and other pets play an important role in bringing added happiness to their lives. As not every dog and cat is as fortunate to be with their forever families, you may be looking for ways to give back and help pets in need. As many as 117,000 cats and dogs enter shelters every year across Canada, according to The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies. There are numerous ways you can help homeless pets and give back, starting with these tips. Volunteer at your local animal welfare
organization. Almost every community has at least one animal shelter or rescue group that needs help. A simple internet search is a good place to start, or ask your veterinarian for recommendations on local organizations that assist pets in need. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities at shelters and rescue organizations, from office duties and community outreach and education to training, feeding and socializing, so people with every skillset are often able to lend a hand. Donate supplies. Items such as food, cat litter, cleaning supplies and blankets
are almost always in demand at animal shelters and rescues. While pets await adoption, they need access to food, making pet food a significant operating expense for animal welfare organizations. Through PetSmart’s Buy a Bag, Give a Meal program, for every bag of dog or cat food purchased online and at its stores across North America through the end of the year, the leading pet specialty retailer will donate a meal to a pet in need served by animal welfare organizations and food banks. Foster or adopt a pet. As many animal welfare organizations
have dogs or cats not suited for living in a shelter atmosphere, fostering a pet in your home is a simple way to give back without the long-term commitment of pet ownership. These pets may be older and in need of a quiet environment or a space to recover from a recent surgery. Of course, if you’re ready for a new pet, your local shelter or rescue organization may have the perfect one waiting for you. Adopting from a rescue or shelter can not only save that pet, but also open a spot in the facility and potentially save another animal. Take care of pets at
home. One of the most important things you can do for pets in need is simply not become part of the problem. Be ready for the responsibility before adopting a pet and know that having one requires a long-term commitment. Be sure to keep pets fed, watered, groomed and vaccinated, and have your pet spayed or neutered to help avoid pet overpopulation. Find more ways to get involved at your local shelter or rescue group, and learn more about the Buy a Bag, Give a Meal program at Petsmart.ca/giveameal. www.newscanada.com
non-smokers as these toxins can remain on objects for months. So if you are a smoker or someone you know is still partaking in this dangerous habit, there is even more research giving smokers one more reason to quit. Not only will quitting help the

Salute to Leonard Cohen Barb Brouwer Salmon Arm Observer
As part of the all-Canadian music on the main stage for the final night of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, a Celebration of Leonard Cohen will be performed by a wonderful cast of artists from both sides of the border. Cohen, who passed away in November of last year was, without question, one of the most-loved and critically acclaimed artists of our time. The Roots and Blues Celebration of Leonard Cohen hopes to properly capture a balance of sorrow and high hopes of Cohen’s work and a number of artists jumped at the chance to be involved in this special Roots & Blues project,” says Peter North. Hosted by Tower of Song, that being Oliver Swain and Glenna Garr, participants will
include Jeffrey Foucault, Irish Mythen, Dana Wylie and Dan Shinnan from the Mad Dogs Experience, Canadian poet John Lent and the Roots and Blues House Band. Songs already chosen for the 75-minute performance include Sisters of Mercy, Dance Me To The Edge of Love, Everybody Knows, Bird On A Wire and Suzanne. The Celebration of Leonard Cohen will follow sets from April Verch, one of Canada’s greatest fiddlers, and The Stephen Fearing Band. It will precede the closing festival set featuring Alex Cuba. This year’s festival will be a celebration of Canada 150 and features a stellar lineup that includes Ricky Skaggs, Five Alarm Funk, Booker T, Boogie Patrol, David Essig, Coco Jafro, Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne, Maria Dunn, The Mad
