Truck mirror strikes teen

Family looks for vehicle involved in hit and run. Jennifer Smith Black Press

The rumble of a truck engine echoed in the darkness as the sound of tires on the pavement rolled closer. She could hear the vehicle creeping up behind her, when suddenly a burst of pain struck her in the back of the head. Pieces of plastic and mirror shattered on the ground as her stomach churned and a piercing pain took over her brain. She looked up to see the tail lights of the truck fading into the distance, leaving her injured on the side of the road.

That April 8 evening, 18-year-old Faith Elliott escaped what could have been much more serious. Aside from the concussion, Shyla Marie Elliott says her daughter was lucky the injury wasn’t worse. “We are so grateful she is OK,” said Shyla. But the alleged incident has left the Enderby family, especially Faith, shaken. It was a Sunday evening when Faith was walking from a friend’s house along the narrow shoulder of Mabel Lake Road, when she was hit by the mirror of a passing truck. “The truck didn’t even slow

down or stop,” said Shyla. “She (Faith) didn’t have a chance to get a licence plate or a good description because her back was to them. And she was instantly in shock and pain and disbelief. She just knows it was a big black newer truck. “She reported it immediately to the RCMP and was told unfortunately not much would probably come of it.” The RCMP states the incident was responded to and investigated. “All members in the Enderby area are aware of the file and Continued on Page A4

Man faces child porn charges

WELL-EQUIPPED FROM $

Lachlan Labere Salmon Arm Observer

A Shuswap man is facing charges after police found child pornography on computers seized during the execution of a search warrant. Sicamous RCMP Sgt. Murray McNeil reports Duane Redekopp, 44, has been charged on one count of possession of child pornography and one count of distribution of child pornography. McNeil explains the charges stem from a police investigation that began in November 2017, when Sicamous RCMP began looking into allegations related to the possession of child pornography. The investigation led to the execution of a search warrant at a Sicamous residence on Jan. 29, 2018. “The search warrant resulted in the seizure of computers and computer storage devices,” said McNeil. “A forensic analysis of these devices found images that were determined to be child pornography.” McNeil said police have no evidence to suggest that Redekopp has offended against any local children. He is scheduled to appear in Salmon Arm Provincial Court on Tuesday, April 24.

We aren’t sure if the RCMP took the actual mirror itself,” said Shyla, who was in Edmonton at a family funeral at the time with her husband. “My sister was crying when she was collecting pieces of the mirror. She said cars were flying past her and she realized how serious it could have been.” With the remnants of that night in hand, the family has identified the vehicle as a Chevy truck, as it matched up to a friend’s truck. “It’s identical so he said it’s likely to be a Chevy late ’90s to early 2000s, which there are

Survey considers pot stores Lachlan Labere Salmon Arm Observer

Salmon Arm council heard little resistance to the prospect of retail cannabis sales during a special meeting Monday evening. At the forum-style meeting, staff provided three approaches the city could take to retail cannabis sales: a

closed approach banning retail sales of cannabis within the city; a moderately regulated approach where retail sales might be allowed in commercial zones, limited by proximity to like businesses and liquor stores, as well as “sensitive” sites such as schools and daycares; and a highly regulat-

ed approach requiring OCP and zoning amendments. The majority of people spoke in favour of the moderate approach, though there was a diversity of opinion on where such operations should be located. The survey is now available on the City of Salmon Arm website.

Premier plays losing hand

B.C. Premier John Horgan remains at loggerheads with the federal and Alberta governments over the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline. He’s pinned his hopes on a legal challenge to the pipeline – but most legal experts say those hopes are extremely thin. But while Horgan has maintained his calm while playing his losing hand, the hysterics have ramped up on the other side of the table. The Alberta government has responded with everything from a ban on British Columbia wine to the threat of turning off the gas to B.C. consumers. Sunday’s meeting saw Ottawa remove the threat of blocking transfer payments from the table, but the feds still have a few cards to play. Kinder Morgan’s decision to suspend all non-essential work on the project until the legal issues are resolved got the desired effect, with both Trudeau and Notley expressing a willingness to commit government funds to the project, effectively letting the Texas-based company play with house money. Given the B.C. NDP’s traditional power base, opposition to the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline can only be a good thing for them politically. Even if the courts rule against him, Horgan can say the B.C. government did everything it could, but the courts have determined the province doesn’t have the authority. Instead of banking on a long-shot win in the courts, Horgan is focusing on the safer play of enhanced protection for B.C. waters. Horgan and Trudeau agreed to address the gaps in the $1.5 billion Ocean Protection Plan, and that really is the best B.C.’s premier could have hoped for. The hysteria seen on the other side of the Rockies, with a relentless stream of threats and intimidation, just makes Horgan’s patience seem more remarkable. The odds may be stacked against him, but B.C.’s premier continues to calmly play the cards he was dealt. -Victoria News

tial food source while looking up from the shadowy depths of the water. Fish see the fly as a shadow or silhouette against the moonlit sky. Specific details that are important during the day become far less important when night fishing. Patterns should generally be big, black and bushy. Dry fly patterns need only to sit high and well on the surface of the water. Subsurface patterns should impart some sort of lifelike, if not overt, movement that will attract fish even in the deep dark depths. One thing I have noticed though is that the eye of a hook becomes proportionately smaller with a decrease in light. As the light fails, it becomes harder to thread your tippet through such a small opening. A flashlight or head lamp helps, but a better idea is to know what insects will most likely be coming off, and have a number of flies tied up beforehand on two- or

three-foot lengths of tippet material. A double surgeon’s knot is a lot easier to tie than a clinch knot, even under good light conditions. Having a flashlight on your boat is not only required by current boating regulations, it is also common sense. Not only does a flashlight allow you to see what you are doing on board, it also makes things a whole lot easier when you are searching the shoreline on your way back for the dock or boat launch. I also keep a sweater or jacket on board just in case it turns cold. Night time fishing is dependent on many of the same factors as daylight fishing. Water temperature, the life cycles of insects, availability of protective cover and even phases of the moon all have an effect on where the fish will be and what, if anything, they will be feeding on. The only real difference is that it all happens in the dark.

KAM’S SCREAMING DEALS!

Diana Mangold tries to keep messages light-hearted. FRIENDS & NEIGHBOURS

Leah Blain The messages on the Five Corners Pentecostal Church sign board have been putting smiles on passing motorists for many years and Diane Mangold is the one behind the messages. “I started in 2008. The sign used to be more about the times of services and different events but I just thought, ‘It’s such an awesome way to reach people’s interest and let them know we’re normal fun people, not stuffy pew-sitters,” says Diane. The pastor gave her the go-ahead and let her do whatever she wanted. “I go on the internet to find ones that I like. Sometimes I use quotes. The odd time I’ll put up verses from the Scriptures but most of them are too long to get the entire message. One time I put up the shortest verse in Scripture - Jesus wept. A lot of people thought it was good

and some people were like, ‘Hmm. What?’” Diane likes the messages to be positive, to make people think and be inspired to a better way of life. When she finds something she likes, she always double checks it with a higher authority: “Basically, I pray and say, ‘God, what would you like on it?’” Sometimes she finds something amusing, but if she is ever in doubt that it might not go over well, the message stays in her notebook but doesn’t see the light of day. “Some sound funny at first but would give the wrong impression, or offend someone…. like the one - “Where will you be when you die? Smoking or non-smoking?’ Maybe that’s pushing it a bit,” she says with an amused smile. Over the years Diane has had a lot of feedback. People honk and wave if they see her out there and some even

Diane Mangold is the one behind the messages at the Five Corners Church. (Photo contributed) take the time to phone the church to say how much they enjoy the messages. “One lady phoned and said she had taken a picture for her daughter because it was something she needed to hear; It was one about forgiveness.” She tries to change the message every week but sometimes with her busy schedule that doesn’t happen. Diane is the coordinator of Second Harvest and on the Churches Thrift Store board. Sometimes the weather makes the job a little more challenging. On a good day it takes about

20 minutes to change the message but if the snow is deep and the temperature cold, it takes much longer. However, all clouds have a silver lining and the bad weather at least gives her inspiration. “One week I put up, ‘Too cold to change sign, message inside.’ A couple of years ago I put up, ‘Whoever is praying for snow, please stop.’” Of course she has her favourites: ‘Not all questions can be answered by Google’; ‘God answers knee mail’; ‘If God had a wallet your picture would be in it’; ‘Our

church is prayer conditioned - come on inside’; ‘Man uses duct tape to fix everything, God used nails’; ‘Know Jesus - know peace, no Jesus - no peace; and Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote: ‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’” Diane says she likes to think these messages reach people and make a difference. “I guess I would hope it touches their hearts in a positive way. We can all use reminders to help us be better people.”

Grandmothers helping grandmothers Jodi Brak Salmon Arm Observer

The Grandmothers-to-Grandmothers are a local non-profit group of ladies who fundraise to assist African grandmothers who are raising their orphaned grandchildren and other orphans whose parents have died from disease, mainly HIV/ AIDS. Launched in 2006, the Campaign began as a Canadian grassroots response to the emerging crisis faced by African grandmothers as they struggled to care for millions of children

orphaned by AIDS. African grandmothers became parents as well in the midst of the HIV and AIDS epidemic, putting their grandchildren through school, creating support groups to manage grief, and delivering comfort and hope through homebased care. The group holds sales on the first Friday of each month, as well as week-long Christmas sales at the Mall at Piccadilly. To this end, Grandmothers-to-Grandmothers will also be holding a silent auction from April 27-29 at the

108266A1

Mall at Piccadilly, with donations from local businesses and a local artist. Proceeds from these sales will then be sent to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers Campaign. This campaign employs field workers in Africa to seek out the marginalized women most in need of shelter, food and schooling for the children and caregivers. They teach others about HIV prevention and treatment, create local savings and loan groups, and sit on landrights councils. All support for this

Try out some good mood food SIMPLY FOOD Afke Zonderland After a record-setting longest ever winter in Okanagan history, most of us will be in the mood for food that keeps our mind and body buttered up with happiness and contentment. Mindful eating is much more than chewing our food well while enjoying a sit-down dinner with engaging, happy and content friends or family. Checking the nutritional data is important but can be rather misleading at times. Nutritional data does not display the origin, quality and way the contents of this box or that can were harvested, stored, shipped and imported with thousands of air miles under their belt. Mindful eating is knowing where your food comes from and being interested in the quality and functionality of the food that passes through your

kitchen. We don’t always connect our food habits with our moods. Mindfulness is knowing which foods give you plenty of energy to get through your day and which ones give you a roller-coaster ride with blood sugar highs and lows. That said: “Eating less healthy is less damaging than beating yourself up about it.” Swapping refined carbs for quality protein and good fats is a good way to start. Think: a generous salad serving with an oven-roasted sweet potato and grated beet with a generous helping of avocado oil flavoured with garlic, ginger and Himalayan rock salt. Chocolate – quality chocolate – is truly the number one mood-lifting food. Raw organic cacao paste or powder enhanced with a little maple syrup and coconut oil is a pretty darn

popular snack in our kitchen! I like to add cayenne, peppermint essential oil and rock salt to our ice cube tray shaped mini bites. Raw nuts and a small scoop of maca powder are more good-mood food additions for your chocolate cravings. Why not have a positive food on hand when you are in the mood to eat your emotions? The following recipe includes four of the five most recommended happy mood food list. #1. Chocolate (no or low sugar) #2. Beets #3. Nuts and seeds (raw and soaked) #4. Bone broth (rich in amino acids). Purple Risotto with Goat Cheese and Beets Serves 2. Take 300g cooked beetroot (raw or pre-cooked), two tablespoons of olive oil one large onion, finely chopped, three or four garlic cloves, finely chopped 200g risotto (or brown) rice, 600ml vegetable stock or bone broth, 60g soft goat’s cheese,

100g walnuts, soaked for 1 hour and rinsed well. Gently dry the nuts and carefully crisp in a hot skillet. Boil in water or roast the beets in the oven until tender. Chop into small chunks. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Then stir in the rice and cook for a further two to three minutes. Add a splash of water to the pan and stir, then turn the heat down and add the hot stock, ladle by ladle, stirring the rice regularly to ensure it doesn’t stick. When the stock is almost used up and the rice is cooked – this should take 15-20 minutes – stir the diced beetroot and half the goat’s cheese into it. Leave it for about five minutes before switching the heat off. Serve the risotto with a scattering of chopped toasted walnuts, the remaining goat’s cheese and a crisp green salad. -Afke Zonderland is a raw food chef and founder of Okanagan Rawsome Living Whole Foods.

The City of Salmon Arm’s carbon footprint is going up, not down, despite attempts to reduce it. Like most B.C. municipalities, the city signed onto the BC Climate Action Charter in 2008. It is a non-legally binding agreement between the province, the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) and local governments “that acknowledges that climate change is a reality and establishes a number of goals to address the issue going forward,” explains a report from city staff.

Local governments, such as Salmon Arm, agreed to have their operations carbon neutral by 2012. However, that has still not happened. Local governments also agreed to measure and report on their greenhouse gas emissions while creating more energy efficient communities. In 2017, city operations produced 2,100.5 tons of carbon emissions, up 237 tonnes or about 10 per cent from the year before. The emissions inventory tracks energy consumption – such as natural gas, electricity, gasoline, diesel and

propane – from operations and quantifies the corresponding GHG emissions. Staff told Monday’s meeting of the city’s development and planning services committee that there are practical reasons for last year’s increase, including lower temperatures and a busy year for public works and capital projects. The largest creator of greenhouse gas emissions in the city, with 932.53 tonnes, is the arts, recreation, parks and cultural services area, which includes the Shaw Centre and the SASCU Rec Cen-

pointed out that the service areas that create the most emissions are also those that make up some of the largest portions of the city’s budget. City politicians will discuss their plans for climate action further at their Monday, April 23 council meeting. To be carbon neutral, council could elect to purchase carbon offsets from the province, but successive councils have elected not to. As well as being costly, the city would not be in control of how the funds are spent by the provincial Ministry of Environment.

In 2016 the city’s total was 1878.9 tonnes while in 2015 it was 1866.3. Despite its lack of carbon neutrality, the city has been receiving Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARIP) grants for the past 10 years for continuing to measure and report its carbon emissions, as well as trying to reduce them.

Despite some confusion about the date the Salmon Arm Rotary Clubs were hosting their first-annual food drive, the Rotari-

Enderby producer makes his mark Parker Crook Black Press

When Rick Dugdale, president and CEO of Los Angeles-based Enderby Entertainment, first heard the pitch, he knew that he wanted to take on the film An Ordinary Man. “It’s a story that is actually something we need to be aware of as a society,” Dugdale said over the in-vehicle Bluetooth as he sat in classic Los Angeles traffic. “It’s a film that’s led by a couple of wonderful actors.” Penned and directed by Brad Silberling (City of Angels, A Series of Unfortunate Events) An Ordinary Man, which was released on digital platforms April 17, follows the General (Ben Kingsley), an infamous Balkan war criminal who seeks refuge from the authorities with the help of his dedicated followers. After relocating to a new hideout, the General forms a relationship with his maid, Tanja (Hera Hilmar). “It’s a project we immediately looked at because Ben Kingsley plays the lead,” Dugdale said. The film is slated for DVD and BluRay release June 12 and a future Netflix release. And while An Ordinary

Canadian film producer Rick Dugdale marked the digital release of the film An Ordinary Man on April 17. (Enderby Entertainment image) Man won’t be hitting the silver screen in Canada, Dugdale is hopeful that North Okanagan residents will watch it on digital platforms. “It’ll be the beginning of the next chapter for us,” Dugdale said. Also in post-production is Enderby Entertainment’s Second World War film Peace. Filmed near the Allan Brook’s Nature Centre last winter, Peace follows four American soldiers tasked with ascending an Italian mountainside in 1944. “It was great. You go from shooting in war-torn Yugoslavia, which is beautiful, to sitting in your backyard in Vernon,” said Dugdale.

Short film shoots at Malakwa Café, church Jim Elliot Salmon Arm Observer

Locations in Malakwa and Revelstoke will serve as the backdrop for a story of family drama during Christmas as part of an independent short film which was shot in the area on April 14 and 15. Columbia Shuswap Film Commissioner David Barritt said the film Beautiful Gun is a Vancouver-based production that used the Malakwa Café for both interior and exterior scenes set at a roadside gas station and diner and also shot a scene at the Malakwa Her-

itage Church. Barritt said the film crew raced up to Revelstoke to shoot other scenes that required a more snowy setting. Barritt said he has been working with director Gabriel Correa and producer Kevin Leeson for about eight weeks, helping them find locations, props and set pieces in the Columbia-Shuswap area. He said the film crew were very happy with their two days of shooting and got all the shots they needed. According to IMDB,

Correa has worked as an assistant director on other productions shot in Vancouver including the television series Riverdale and Supernatural. Leeson’s production credits include Netflix’s Stephen King adaptation 1922. The cast and crew are now returning to Vancouver to finish shooting the movie, which Barritt described as a story of struggles between a father and son. Barritt said the film will be submitted to several festivals for screening but he isn’t sure which ones yet.

Thoughts on trains, tankers and pipelines SHUSWAP OUTDOORS Hank Shelley While pruning a couple apple trees at Notch Hill farm last week, which is close to the CP mainline, the high pitched squeal of the 200,000 plus ton train’s steel wheels pressure against the thin steel rails, was surreal. As the 205 car freight rolled past, 35 were oil tankers carrying bitumen from Alberta. Most folks are not surprised anymore

about the tonnage increase and length of the freights passing through Salmon Arm on a daily basis. Many of us that enjoy Rocky Mountain Trains on TV have insight now, on how technology, computers and ontrack maintenance, keep the CP trains moving. However, there is still the remote possibility of a derailment on the

1,250 kilometers the trains travel in B.C. The big concern is a derailment, possible spill of oil or chemicals into the Thompson similar to the Chicamous a few seasons back. This would have a devastating effect of the whole ecology including salmon and steelhead, and life as we know it. So what will it be, pipeline or rail?. The big concern is the Texas-based company wants to increase capacity on a new line to about 800,000 barrels a day to offshore sales. The deal is worth

$7.4 billion. With double hulling, modern technology on board the new vessels, it’s not likely of a disaster on our coast, but for the ecology, whales, marine life, human economy and lifestyle,would dramatically change. There are two fundamentals about oil spills the oil companies will not discuss: Spills over 100,000 gallons can not be properly cleaned up. While 40 per cent of lost oil can be scooped up by skimmers and booms, In reality, only 10 per cent has been recovered. In 1987, the Coast Guard

As seen on the WEB Sponsored by CSRD | Impress Branded Content The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) continues to work with businesses in the Salmon Arm and Shuswap area to assist with their transition to food waste composting. The initiative to request that businesses separate their food waste was approved by the CSRD Board of Directors in November of 2015, and since then, waste haulers and CSRD staff have been educating business owners about the new program. “Approximately 30 businesses and institutions in the area are now composting their food waste”, says CSRD Waste Reduction Facilitator Carmen Fennell. “But there are still a number of businesses, including restaurants and government offices that have not yet made the transition”. The CSRD promotes a zero waste strategy, and keeping waste out of the landfill is an important part of that strategy. Waste characterization studies completed at the Salmon Arm Landfill reveal that organic waste accounts for 30% of all waste entering the landfill. “By diverting food waste from the landfill, we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions and turning waste into valuable compost.”

Interestingly enough, look back at the high more than 30 First Na- pressure rupture a tions along the pipe- few years back of oil line route support the spewing onto homes project, while many and yards in Burnaby communities do not. and Surrey to realize Yes, a pipeline is human error can upset the safest bet, with the apple-oil cart, this stronger steel, better time with climactic retechnology, and the sults. 55-year-old Trans Mountain line has seen just click its day.

On July 1, 2018, the bylaw regulating food waste takes effect and commercial loads containing food waste will be charged the disposal fee of $160/tonne, up from the current $80/tonne. CSRD staff is available to answer any questions business owners may have to help make the transition.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN

Loveless difficult but powerful JOANNE SARGENT Cinemaphile The first thing you need to know is that Loveless is a difficult film to watch. It’s the story of a Russian couple’s marriage that’s been a war zone and their son,12-year-old Alyosha, the collateral damage. Zhenya and Boris are separated and in the middle of a brutal divorce, at the end of a toxic and, yes, loveless marriage that began with an unwanted pregnancy. It is an incredibly sad portrait of a child unloved by his selfish parents, neither of whom wants to be saddled with him as they move on to new relationships, and he knows it. Interestingly, the boy is barely shown in the film at all, although one single shot of the distraught, weeping child hiding behind the parents’ bedroom door as they argue is so memorably shattering it haunts you through the entire film and beyond. The director

NOTICE OF DELEGATED PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that a Delegated Public Hearing will be held in the Board Room of the Regional District of North Okanagan, 9848 Aberdeen Road, Coldstream, B.C. on Thursday, May 3, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. to hear representations on the following matter:

ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 2747, 2017

chooses to centre the story on the parents’ nasty entanglement, and the new lovers they have hooked up with. After one of his parents’ particularly hatefilled exchanges, where they discuss sending him to an orphanage/ boarding school, Alyosha (nickname Alexey) disappears. Sadly, and underscoring what terrible parents they’ve been, they don’t even notice he’s gone—it’s the school that alerts them that he hasn’t been there for two days. They finally report the boy missing, but a broken police system offers little help. They leave the search to a group of volunteers, who turn out to be the few people with any heart in the whole movie, as they selflessly search day and night for the child. You might suspect that the unthinkable horror of their son being missing might bring his parents together, but, instead, their mutual loathing just intensifies. They’re

Zoning Text Amendment Bylaw No. 2747, 2017 proposes to amend the Regional District of North Okanagan Zoning Bylaw No. 1888, 2003 as summarized below: Detached Suites

Loveless is the story of a Russian couple’s marriage that’s been a war zone and their son, 12-year-old Alyosha, the collateral damage. (Photo contributed) supposed to be heartbroken, but in reality they consider the disappearance a rather fortunate event. As the search continues through the inhospitable Russian landscape, the couple is alerted to news from hospitals and morgues, and boys dead and alive are reported and followed up on. The ordeal is long and arduous. Although Alyosha’s computer is inspected, his best friend reveals their secret hideaway and his grandmother (who is a piece of work herself) has been visited

for clues, the boy is not found. The writer/director, Andrey Zvyaginstev (Leviathan), chooses not to bring a solution to the mystery of his disappearance, but rather an open ending that can be interpreted in different ways. He, instead, offers his commentary on modern life in Russia and its warped spiritual and moral values. Zvyaginstev has been criticized in Russia for his relentlessly grim portraits of life there. The content makes it hard to heartily recommend Loveless, but

it is a powerful, profound movie, superbly performed and beautifully, if drearily, shot. It was nominated for Best Foreign Film at this year’s Academy Awards. It’s rated 14-A for strong sexuality, graphic nudity, violence and a brief disturbing image. As Jeannette Catsoulis of the NY Times says, “it’s rated R for putting an icy fist around your heart and squeezing.” Loveless shows Saturday April 21 at 5 p.m. at the Salmar Classic Theatre. It is subtitled.

Bylaw No. 2747 proposes to allow detached suites on properties that are 2 ha or larger in size and are zoned Country Residential (C.R), Non-Urban (N.U) and Large Holding (L.H). Detached suites would be defined as a self-contained accessory dwelling unit located within an accessory residential or agricultural building. No more than one (1) detached suite would be permitted per lot and detached suites would not be permitted on lots that already contain a secondary suite, a two family dwelling or an ancillary dwelling. The maximum floor area of suites would be 90 m2. The maximum height of buildings containing a detached suite would be 12 m. For properties within the Agricultural Land Reserve, detached suites could only be located on a lot that is classified as “farm” under the BC Assessment Act. For properties within Electoral Areas “B”, “C” and “F” and for all properties located within the Agricultural Land Reserve, detached suites would be required to be located on one floor and be above an accessory residential or agricultural use. For properties within Electoral Areas “D” and “E”, detached suites would be allowed to be located on more than one floor and must be either above or beside (attached to) an accessory residential or agricultural use. Ancillary Dwellings Bylaw No. 2747 proposes to amend the regulations associated with ancillary dwellings that are currently permitted on properties that are 2 ha or larger in size and are zoned Country Residential (C.R), Non-Urban (N.U) and Large Holding (L.H). For properties located outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve and within Electoral Areas “B”, “C” and “F”, the maximum gross floor area of an ancillary dwellings would be increased from 75 m2 to 90 m2. For lots that are located outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve and within Electoral Areas “D” and “E”, the maximum ground floor area of an ancillary dwelling would be limited to 111.48 m2 and the gross floor area would be increased from 75 m2 to 222.96 m2. For properties within the Agricultural Land Reserve, ancillary dwellings could only be located on a lot that is classified as “farm” under the BC Assessment Act.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the above Bylaw, shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the above Bylaw.

of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen

www.unitedwaycso.com / www.unitedwaynocs.com

This year’s theme is: “Celebrate the Value of Volunteering – building confidence, competence, connections and community”. Volunteering is often seen as a selfless act; a person gives their time, skills, experience, and passion to help others, without expecting anything in return. And while volunteering is a form of service, many volunteers will tell you that “you get more than you give”. From opportunities to develop new skills, to finding deep and meaningful personal connections, the magic of volunteering is that it creates social and economic value for all.

Next stage for new auditorium Study to look at feasibility of performing arts centre. The Shuswap Society for the Arts and Culture has just announced the start of a facilities feasibility study for the creation of a multi-functional performing arts centre. The society’s hope is to eventually build a facility in Salmon Arm that can serve the needs of the community for many generations to come. The building would have a 400-seat main auditorium with a 200-seat balcony and a 150-seat “Black Box” stage. The feasibility study has been awarded to Miki Andrejevic of m.a. Arts Immensus Corp., located in St. Ives, a well-known researcher who is also the president of the Kamloops Symphony. The first phase of the study will look at the strength of community support and produce a “case for support”

white paper. Andrejevic will also be looking for possible funding opportunities. The project will be financially self-sufficient and not rely on operational funding from the City of Salmon Arm or any ongoing grants. They plan on achieving this goal by having permanent rental space available in the building for many of the local non-profit arts, crafts and social organizations. The large capacity main theatre will attract many well-known acts that currently travel through the area seeking an auditorium that will seat at least 500 people. The real challenge will be assessing the community’s needs for the future and anticipating an expected increase in population over the next 50-75 years. If you want more informa-

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Potassium for Your Arteries FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC Dr. Warren Gage I was recently watching a online video program called HighWire by Del Bigtree where he was discussing the release of 2 recent medical studies that looked at the common practice of injecting saline through IV bags. The results of these studies were scary to say the least because they reflect the all to frequent resistance to change in practices that occurs in the medical profession. Saline is the clear fluid that is made up of high concentrations of sodium chloride which is similar to table salt. It has been used in hospital and

emergency settings for more than 100 years especially to replace lost blood or to hydrate ill patients. It has been accepted as standard practice for so long it seems that researchers may have “forgot” to see if there was a better and safer alternative – until now. In these 2 recent studies done by Vanderbilt University in the USA they compared 28,000 people who were put on IV saline (salt water) versus an IV solution that is chemically, much closer to the clear fluid that makes up our blood called plasma (balanced

fluid). These patients were studied in order to monitor their rates of kidney failure and death. What they found was that for every 100 people placed on the balanced fluids instead of saline, there was 1 fewer death. A 1% reduction in death may not sound significant (unless you are that one person), but consider that in the USA alone there are 30 million people hospitalized each year. From these numbers they estimate 50,000 to 70,000 people per year die from the use of salt water saline. Even more disturbing is researchers have known the dangers of saline and have been trying to change this common practice for the past 20 years. Twenty years times

50,000 deaths is one million preventable deaths in the USA alone. Why has there not been any change in practice? It cannot be attributed to economic reasons because the two solutions are comparable in cost to produce, and both have been readily available for years. One of the lead Vanderbilt researchers Dr. Matthew Semler is quoted as to why the practice has not changed is, “There’s no evidence or rationale, it’s just kind of the way things were. We need to make sure that with the things we’re doing commonly, we know exactly what we’re doing and have good evidence for them”. He goes on to say “Saline is one

Lots of countries have two or more official languages: Canada (two), Belgium (three), Switzerland (four), South Africa (eleven), India (twenty-three), and so on. They all have trouble balancing the competing demands of the various language groups. But Latvia has only one official language, and it has a bigger problem than any of them. “There’s no need for a second language. Whoever wants can use their language at home or in school,” said Latvian President Andris Berzins in 2012, when there was a (failed) referendum about making Russian a second official language in Latvia. But on Monday Berzin’s successor, President Raimonds Vejonis, signed a new law decreeing that Russian will no longer be used in secondary schools. Even Russian-speaking high-school students will be taught only in Latvian by 2021, Vejonis said: “It will make society more cohesive and the state stronger.” Freely translated, that means it will make Latvian society less Russian. The Russian-language media exploded in outrage at the news, and in Moscow on Tuesday the Russian Duma (parliament) passed a resolution urging Vladimir Pu-

tin’s government to impose sanctions in Latvia. The Russian foreign ministry said that the new measure was “part of the discriminatory policy of the forceful assimilation of Russian-speaking people that has been conducted for the past 25 years.” That is true. The long-term goal of Latvia’s language policies is obviously the assimilation of the Russian-speaking minority – but it is a huge task. Russian-speakers were 42 percent of the population when Latvia got its independence back from the Soviet Union in 1991, and if you include those who speak Latvian at work but Russian at home they still account for at least a third. The discrimination has been blatant from the start. After independence Russian-speakers whose home was in Latvia were excluded from citizenship unless they could pass a Latvian language test. About half the Russian-speaking population couldn’t or wouldn’t, so around 13 percent of the people in Latvia are russophone ‘non-citizens’ without the right to vote, hold public office, or take government jobs. It has long been the case in Latvia that

university is only free for students doing their studies in Latvian, and that primary schools for minority language groups (mainly Russian but also Ukrainian, Yiddish, Roma, etc.) must teach Latvian from the first grade. Since 2004 at least 60 percent of instruction in secondary schools has had to be in Latvian. And by 2021 it will have to be all Latvian in the high schools all of the time. So the Russians certainly have a right to complain – but look at it from a Latvian point

the Latvians welcomed the German attack on Russia in 1941, which freed Latvia from the Soviet occupation, and many of them fought alongside the German army until the Russians conquered Latvia yet again in 1944. By then Stalin had concluded that the Latvians were incorrigibly ‘disloyal’, and decided to solve the problem permanently by overwhelming them with immigrants from Russia. The proportion of Latvian native-speakers in the population dropped

The Latvian-speakers will have to accept that the Russian minority is a permanent presence in their country, and the Russian-speakers will have to accept that preserving the endangered Latvian language and culture comes first.

of view. The Latvians got their independence from the Russian empire in 1918, but were re-conquered by its successor, the Soviet Union, in 1940. (The Nazi-Soviet Pact, the starting gun for the Second World War, divided Poland between the two totalitarian regimes, but the Soviet Union got all of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.) The Soviet secret police then murdered or deported most of the Latvian political, intellectual and cultural elite: between 35,000 and 60,000 people. So

from 80 percent in 1935 to barely half (52 percent) by 1989 – and most of the immigrants never bothered to learn Latvian, because the entire Soviet Union worked in Russian. The Latvians were on the road to linguistic and cultural extinction until they got their independence back, so you can see why they want to ‘Latvianise’ this huge, uninvited immigrant presence in their midst as fast as possible. But now look at it from the position of the Russian-speakers again.

Most of the current generation are not immigrants at all. They were born in Latvia, before or after independence, and they grew up in the familiar streets of Riga or Daugavpils, part of a large Russian-speaking community among whom they feel comfortably at home. They have no other home. Yet they know they will never be accepted as fully Latvian even if they learn to speak the language fluently. And since they mostly get their news and views from Russian media, which portray Latvia’s allies in the European Union and NATO as relentlessly anti-Russian, Latvian-speakers don’t even trust the Russian minority to be loyal in a crisis. On the other hand, why should Russian-speakers in Latvia go along with measures that are clearly designed to shrink the role of Russian in the country’s life? There is no right or wrong here. The Latvian-speakers will have to accept that the Russian minority is a permanent presence in their country, and the Russian-speakers will have to accept that preserving the endangered Latvian language and culture comes first. They are both having trouble getting to that point, but there is really no alternative. -Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Effort needed on Earth Day April 22 marks the 50th observance of Earth Day. Each of us can celebrate by reducing our driving, use of electric energy, and consumption of animals. That’s right! Last Fall Oxford University’s prestigious Food Climate Research Network and Germany’s Hein-

rich Bolle Foundation concluded that solving the global warming catastrophe requires massive shift to a plant-based diet. A 2010 United Nations report blamed animal agriculture for 70 per cent of global freshwater use, 38 per cent of land use, and 19 per cent of green-

house gas emissions. In an environmentally sustainable world, meat and dairy products in our diet must be replaced by vegetables, fruits, and grains. Let’s celebrate the 50th observance of Earth Day at our supermarket. Vaughn Mallard

M. Claire Laurette Bouvier (nee Roy) November 19, 1931 - April 14, 2018 It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Claire Bouvier at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, with her family at her side. Claire was born in Verdun, QC to Albert and Juliette Roy. After her birth they returned to RiviĂ¨re Qui Barre, AB where she was raised with 9 siblings. Claire married Adrian Bouvier on July 30, 1953. They lived and worked in many places in AB, SK, then settled in the Shuswap area in 1970 with their six children; Claudette Osterreicher (Frank), Charmaine Paproski (Ken), Norman (Jamie), Paulette Reaka (Tim), Jacqueline Bouvier (George Ujimoto) and Monique Fuller (Brian), where she remained until her passing. Â She was predeceased by son, Norman; her parents; and siblings Laurier, Carmen Carlson, Paul, Edward, Rita Colussi, and Susanne. She is mourned by her five daughters and their families that consist of 14 Grandchildren and 8 Great Grandchildren; her brothers Gilbert(Annalise) and Arthur (Eileen) and sister Annette Plummer (Fred), as well as Brother and Sister-in-laws and countless nieces and nephews. Claire was very artistic in many art forms, but never considered herself an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Artistâ&#x20AC;?. Â She had an eye for fancy cars and fashion, enjoyed sewing for herself and family, but one of her biggest joys in life was dancing. Summers on the Lake brought many family and friends, who remember her welcoming them into our home, cooking endless meals and making sure they enjoyed their stay. A service will be held at the Gathering Place at the Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christian School on April 21, at 2:00. Â In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Shuswap Hospice Society (www.shuswaphospice.ca)Â Online condolences may be sent to the family through Claireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.Â

Ozzy can be anxious when meeting new people so it would be best for him to go to a dog experienced home. He loves to go for long walks so if you are a walker or even a hiker Ozzy would be a great companion. He does need to work on his manners a bit as he does mouth when he wants your attention. So young children are not the best fit. Ozzy was a stray so we do not have any background information but he has been a great dog here. He likes other dogs but we do not know how he is with cats.
