A Chase mother is taking a stand for the safety of her children after witnessing too many close calls on a local school road.

Sick of worrying, Dalana Williams recently organized a petition to get the crosswalks in a local school zone painted – a request, she hopes, will be considered by village council.

While Williams doesn’t consider herself to be much of a complainer, she recently decided something had to be done about the hazardous road that has not one, but two local schools located on it.

Williams didn’t want to make a big fuss, but says she couldn’t sit

back anymore. “I didn’t want to be one of those people who just sit back silently and gets nothing done. I do not normally do things like this, and I have never made a petition, but this is important to me. I have four kids that go to, or will be going to, the school.�

Cottonwood Street is approximately one kilometre long with one side almost completely taken up by Haldane Elementary and Chase Secondary schools.

The road is narrow and has no sidewalks. The road itself doesn’t even have a centre line.

The elementary school lacks sufficient parent parking, so parents are forced to park their vehicles along the side of the road when picking up or dropping off, leaving little room

Regush visited Cottonwood Street on June 20 with Joni Heinrich, village administrator, to examine the site.

Neither Regush nor Heinrich think making a centre line down the road will make a difference to how people drive. In a letter to Williams, Heinrich explained that they witnessed vehicles doing U-turns along the road. However, they do not believe lines painted on the road will deter people from these types of actions.

Regush also pointed out that white lines are painted on the sides of the road to give children a place to walk safely. These spots, however, are taken up by parents’ vehicles. This area, according to the letter, is not

for children to walk. The parked cars also block the children from being seen by oncoming traffic, forcing them to peer out and walk out onto the road in order to be noticed.

There are two faded and barely visible crosswalks located at either end of the road.

One is located directly on a corner, which is frequently busy during school hours. Children must cross Cedar Avenue to get to the crosswalk to cross Cottonwood.

According to Patrick Regush, the village’s public works supervisor, the old crosswalks have not been repainted in years because they have been deemed unsafe. No word was given on why new crosswalks were not created upon deciding the old ones were hazardous.

Village to consider improvements Continued from front meant for this type of use.

Regush does not think re-painting the lines will keep people from parking there, but instead encourage it.

But, Williams says, almost daily people can stand by the road and watch as one vehicle will stop to allow a child to cross, only to have the vehicle behind pull around thinking they are simply stopping to drop off a child.

“There have been many near accidents,” she says.

She describes how she stands in her driveway, which is located almost directly in front of the school, and watches each morning as her oldest daughter heads to the elementary.

“There are days when she would stand on the side of the road for 10 minutes waiting for someone to stop and let her cross. Eventually I had to go and help her.”

“It is really sad to me,” says Williams. “I don’t want to have to walk her to school everyday until she is 10, especially if we live right across the street.”

“I do not care if there is a crosswalk right in front of my house, as long as the kids have

somewhere safe they can go.”

Williams began the petition for new crosswalks after she logged into Facebook earlier this month to rant about her frustration with the road. She didn’t expect anything to come out of it, she was just blowing off steam.

Up until then she had never heard anyone else complain about the dangers of Cottonwood, but within an hour many local moms had responded with their own, equally frustrated, thoughts.

“That is when I decided to make the petition,” said Williams, “after I found out there were many more like me.”

She called the village office, where she was advised to write a letter.

“I wrote the letter that night.”

She put the letter on Facebook and asked parents for their input before dropping her petition off at the local movie store, located in Chase’s downtown area.

“I didn’t go door-todoor with it or anything like that,” said Williams.

Within days, her petition had already gathered almost 150 signatures, and she submitted it to the village.

aybe you just spent a lot of money for a new transmission. Or maybe someone else you know did.

Whatever the reason, you’d like to avoid major transmission repairs in the future.

Makes sense. And there are a number of things you can do to keep your car’s transmission working properly for years to come. Some involve maintenance; others involve changing your driving habits.

requesting that sidewalks be added, Williams decided not to include it in her letter.

“Sidewalks are expensive. I figured while there may not be a budget for sidewalks, there may be some for a little road paint.”

Williams has also attended local PAC meetings where, she discovered, there were even more parents concerned about road safety.

“There was talk that if a sidewalk is put in we might be able to get a crossing guard,” says Williams. “We could adapt what other schools have done and get a Grade 7 student released a little early to help out kids, or we could try for parent volunteers,” she explains.

“These are things we will need to work out with the school.”

For now Williams is just hoping that the road gets new crosswalks and a centre line.

“I don’t expect it this school year, but hopefully by September.”

Chase Mayor Ron Anderson was not available for comment, but Heinrich did acknowledge that the letter was received.

“The village would like to do a lot of major upgrades on the road,” says Heinrich who agrees that William’s requests are perfectly rea-

sonable, but says these upgrades are not in the budget.

Williams has since received a letter indicating the village is proposing two new crosswalks between the schools.

One is where the school buses pull in to drop children off and the other is by the entrance to the elementary school.

Heinrich also provided a “very rough” estimate of $5,000 to paint the new crosswalks on the road.

When asked if the crosswalks could be created by September, she responded, “I don’t see why not. It depends on if we have the money and if we can find a contractor to do it, or even if we can do it ourselves.”

Heinrich, who lives on the road herself, agrees that Williams’ requests are “definitely needed.”

The letter along with the petition will be presented to Chase council at their next meeting on June 26, which is open to the public.

Until then, staff are gathering as much information as possible, including price quotes, so a decision can be made that night. Williams was also invited to join Regush to discuss the issues further and share ideas.

SHUSWAP Lake continues to rise, more rain expected

By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

If the weather guessers have got it right, sunscreen will be replaced by gumboots and umbrellas – again.

Canoe Beach and the pedestrian underpass have been closed to the public and the washrooms at the end of Salmon Arm’s marine wharf were within 15 centimetres of being closed Wednesday afternoon.

The brief spate of warm weather is due to be replaced tomorrow by at least another four days of rain, raising the level of the lake even more.

“It’s the season to be thinking about severe weather,” says Doug Lundquist, warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada, who notes the advancing cold-air system could arrive with severe thunderstorms. “June is normally wet; I call it the monsoonal month, but this one is on steroids.”

Between June 1 and 16, the weather station at Salmon Arm Airport measured 80 millimetres of rain, considerably higher than

normal rainfall, which is 63 mm for the entire month.

Heavy rain and rapid snowmelt at upper levels has swollen rivers and resulted in the BC River Forecast Centre issuing a flood warning for the Shuswap River near Enderby, and a flood watch for Shuswap Lake and tributaries, including Eagle River.

B.C.’s River Forecast Centre was expecting another surge in levels Wednesday evening or early Thursday, with additional rises of 15 cm above current levels possible. A flood watch means river levels are rising and will approach or may overflow banks, and a flood warning means river levels have exceeded the banks or will exceed them imminently.

“Shuswap Lake is expected to continue rising through the next week and peak at approximately 20-year levels,” reads the advisory.

By Wednesday afternoon, the lake level was 349.17 metres – up seven cm overnight, and City of Salmon Arm public works staff were busy implementing the city’s action plan.

A log boom was set out off the

end of the Salmon Arm wharf and gangplanks have all been adjusted.

Public Works manager John Rosenberg says Federated Co-op needs to be commended for responding so quickly in setting out the boom and charging only for the cost of machinery to do the job.

“They’ve been a great corporate citizen, very responsive,” he says.

Rosenberg says there has been an erosion of the land by wave action and the boat launch dock in Canoe is now four feet away from the land.

“The federal wharf is still accessible, but the parking lot is under water, and in another four inches it will be so deep you’ll need to wear your bathing suit.”

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP) has issued a public advisory asking boaters to be courteous and conscious of the height of the wake caused by their boat.

“Boats travelling at high speed and close to shore can cause waves that increase water level as much as two feet, resulting in increased

SEP advises the province has made sandbags and sand available at government expense to those affected by flooding. These are available at the City of Salmon Arm public works yard, District of Sicamous public works yard, Swansea Point’s Oxford Road Beach Access Point, Sorrento

Parts and Service, Gem Gravel in Celista and Falkland Fairgrounds beside Bolean Creek Bridge.

It is important to stay away from watercourses at this time. Banks will be slippery and potentially unstable due to the erosive qualities of fast-flowing water.

Crime in Silver Creek prompts community meeting

By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

It’s a sign of the times.

Silver Creek residents showed their concern in great numbers, packing the community hall last Wednesday night to hear and ask questions about crime in the area.

Silver Creek Community Association president Jamie Felhauer was stunned by the large crowd that filled the hall, particularly since the public was advised only two days previously.

Felhauer says the meeting was called after members of the community association heard the concerns of two residents Monday, June 9.

“A gentleman has posted signs around Silver Creek and one of the community association members

called the guy and said we’re having a meeting, come and tell us what happened,” says Felhauer, noting the man was accompanied by a friend.

The first individual told about the theft of his tools at his residence near the bottom of Yankee Flats Road and said he had phoned Vernon, not knowing which policing area he lives in.

The friend, who lives farther south out of the Salmon Arm detachment area, related a story of a home invasion and robbery including four men dressed entirely in black, one carrying a cattle prod and the other a sawed-off shotgun.

He did not report the incident to police.

The details of this story concerned members of the community association but also made them

wonder why police were not called.

“We talked some more and after they left, we discussed the matter and decided to hold a communitywide meeting at the hall,” Felhauer says.

While Felhauer says attending RCMP member Sgt. Carlos Tettlowski of Salmon Arm was patient in fielding questions, area residents were upset and frightened.

“We did discuss having a community liaison person, someone who would pass information onto the police,” she says. “My phone rang off the hook the next day with people giving me information. It surprised me about the information that I need to pass on to the police.”

While he understands residents’ concerns about recent break-ins,

Salmon Arm detachment Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane says crime is relatively low in Silver Creek.

He points out that 487 property crimes have been reported in the detachment area, but only 15 (or three per cent) of them occurred in Silver Creek – two involved expartners going into homes to remove items, one involving gas card fraud that was committed in Vancouver, a jeep doing doughnuts in the snow, and another, the vandalizing of the Silver Creek Community Park concession April 7.

The rest involved an assortment of thefts including quads, a telephone, a generator, a wallet, cameras, a solar panel, makeup and toilet paper, among other things.

Keane says following a tip from a member of the public, three “prolific offenders” from Kamloops are

back in jail and a number of items they had stashed in a motorhome in the community park recovered.

In response to complaints at the June 11 meeting about the demise of the Crime Watch program, a decision taken at higher levels of the federal police force, Keane says community members need to watch out for each other.

He says that at the end of the day, any community program is supposed to be run by the community.

And unlike bigger detachments such as Vernon’s, Salmon Arm does not have the resources to have a person dedicated to such issues.

Felhauer, meanwhile, invites area residents to attend the next community association meeting, which will be held at the community hall at 7 p.m. Monday, July16.

Crime will be on the agenda.

The free Canada Day Children’s Festival is ready to roll out at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 1.

A highly popular event, this year’s festivities include a main stage featuring Kiki the Eco Elf, Michael Mitchell, Neale Bacon and his Crazy Critters, and local musical group, One Camel Short.

New for 2012 will be free wagon rides offered

by Joyce Marchant. Other free activities include several inflatable bouncy houses, a dance exhibition by local dance studios, 4H small animal display, plus lots of arts and activity tents.

The dance studio will be set up in the arena so the show can go on – in comfort – rain or shine.

Fifty-cent games will be there for the playing, including the ever-popular fish pond, tattoo parlour and wacky hair salon.

First Nations dancing will take place just before the 12:30 p.m. cake cutting ceremony.

RCMP will do free photographs and fingerprinting through the Child Find program.

Every child gets one free ticket on entry, and if they are wearing red, they get a bonus ticket.

“The drive for volunteers is on,” says organizer Kari Wilkinson. “We need help with set-up, takedown on June 30th and July 1st, as well as people to help out during the festival. Certificates are issued for all volunteers.”

If anyone is interested in event sponsorship, including providing an item for the silent auction, get in touch with the organizers prior to June 25.

“The entire festival is put on through the support of local organizations and businesses,” says

OPINION A good start, but hurdles remain Okanagan wineries are anxiously awaiting pending legislation that could bring significant improvements to their bottom line.

A private member’s bill from OkanaganCoquihalla MP Dan Albas will introduce amendments to federal laws that restrict the sale of Canadian wine across provincial borders. Bill C-311, which eliminates a 1928 Prohibition-era law, cleared the Senate this week after previously receiving unanimous support in Parliament. It’s expected to receive royal assent later this month.

But it may still be a little early to pop any corks in celebration. Because even after Ottawa clears the way for wine to be shipped across provincial borders, wine sales will still be limited by a host of provincial legislation.

The provinces still need to establish their own exemptions to allow the personal purchase and shipment of alcoholic beverages across provincial borders.

Earlier this month, B.C. announced its own provincial tax exemptions for alcoholic beverages, with residents now allowed to bring back one standard case of wine (nine litres) from another province without paying B.C. tax on it.

And there is some question whether the federal bill will clear the way for online sales of Canadian wine.

Allowing tourists to bring home a case of Okanagan wine will undoubtedly see financial benefits trickle down to the industry, but opening the door to online sales would increase those benefits dramatically.

So while the pending changes to federal regulations are a cause for celebration here in the Okanagan, more work is still needed to help B.C.’s wine industry tap into its potential.

A load of kids had a load of fun The rain that had been falling for the better part of a week had stopped and the clouds seemed to have parted – there were even patches of blue sky – on Sunday morning around 5:30 to 6 a.m. when a lot of bleary-eyed people were getting up to bring their kids down to the 16th Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby. The question on most of their minds was would the weather hold?

Well, it it did hold out for the whole of the morning and well over 600 participants, parents and grandparents, from as far away as the Lower Mainland, came out to celebrate Father’s Day down on the docks at the end of the wharf at Marine Park.

Within minutes of the official 7 a.m. start, little bitty Jenna Rae Pieper caught and landed the first fish of the derby. During the awards ceremony which followed the derby, Peiper received the Mall at Piccadilly Trophy, a rod and reel outfit and a $100 Daybreak Rotary scholarship for her catch.

After that, the more than 200 kids who had registered

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray for the derby just kept on catching fish after fish – close to 400 were caught (and mostly released) over the course of the morning.

Nicole Andrews landed a 2,210-gram whopper to secure first place in the Largest Fish category. Andrews received the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union W. J. (Bill) Murray Memorial Trophy, an IM-6 graphite fly rod and reel outfit, and a $100 James Murray Scholarship. She will also get to take her whole family on an all expenses paid weekend fishing trip to Beaver Lake Lodge, which will include accommodations, boat and motor rental and $100 worth of groceries from Askew’s Foods. Not bad for one coarse

fish. Dawson Enright took second place honours in the Largest Fish category, while Logan Ferguson placed third.

Throughout the morning their was quite a rivalry between three or four ardent anglers vying for the Most Fish category. In the end, Mason Buzzell won out and walked away with the City of Salmon Arm Trophy, a oneyear pass the the SASCU Recreation swimming pool and a rod and reel outfit. He also received a $100 Rotary Club of Salmon Arm scholarship.

Andrea Penner and Carson Venna caught and landed fish closest to predetermined secret hidden weights and each received a mountain bike from Canadian Tire.

The Fourth Annual Best Fishing Story Contest, sponsored by the Salmar Grand and James Murray and held in conjunction with the Kids Fishing Derby, was won by Hillcrest Elementary School Grade 5 student Mackenzie Hall. Not only will her name be engraved on the Salmar Community Association Trophy, she also receives the

$100 James Murray Scholarship and a One Year Pass to the movies. And if her pass isn’t a cool enough prize, everyone in her class receives a one-time movie pass as well.

Jamie Walters won the Canadian Tire Parent Appreciation draw prize of a fully decked-out, stainless-steel barbecue and $100 worth of groceries from Askew’s Foods.

As with most events in town, a lot of volunteers helped out to pull the derby off. I take my hat off to not only all the sponsors and volunteers who helped out with this year’s Kids Fishing Derby, but also to those sponsors and volunteers who get behind every other event. It made me feel pretty good Sunday, when the derby was over, and three different young people (who would be 13 years old next year and, subsequently, too old to participate in the derby) came up to me and said they wanted to volunteer next year.

All in all, I’d say it was a pretty good event - I know a lot of kids (and parents) sure had a lot of fun.

MAIL BAG Questioning the Harper government’s policy work, while remaining silent about right-wing think tanks like the Fraser Institute, who basically spend 100 per cent of their budget on political activity, doing the same thing on the taxpayer’s dollar?

Why should corporate lobbying be tax deductible as a business expense at all?

Why do the Conservatives wrongly attack the United Church for supporting a boycott of Israel (they weren’t) yet remain silent about other religious groups funding “Right to Life?”

Why should ex Conservative cabinet ministers be allowed to set up lobbying companies

and accept money from foreign corporations and individuals to subvert our government?

How can anyone suggest that this is other than a crude effort to stifle dissent and prevent citizens from performing what is not only a democratic right but a duty to criticize and be involved in po-

Changes will improve the EI system

FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes The Employment Insurance (EI) program is designed to provide temporary income support to replace lost employment income while claimants are looking for work.

It is not meant to be an income supplement if people choose not to work nor a business model. Our govern-

Independently owned and operated by the Raffan Family since 1963.

ment is overhauling how Canadians collect employment insurance by encouraging frequent users to stop depending on the program as a yearly source of income and requiring those who rarely use it to look more broadly for jobs when they do collect EI. Employment insurance will very much be there for people who cannot find a job within their qualifications and within their region.

There are, however, as we know, growing labour shortages in this country and we want to take every effort we can to ensure people can find jobs. According to Statistics Cana-

da’s job vacancy survey, in the fall of last year, there were approximately 250,000 unfilled jobs across Canada.

Your government is creating three different types of EI recipients including frequent users, occasional claimants and long-tenured workers.

Frequent claimants – those who used EI at least three times for a total of 60 weeks in five years – will be given six weeks to look for work in their field.

After this window closes, applicants will be expected to find another job they are qualified for that pays at least 70 per cent of their previ-

ous salary. The opposition contended the government’s new rules targets people who commonly use EI like seasonal and contract workers. Our objective is to match people with jobs. We want to make sure we have a system in place that will allow people to get work they’re qualified for in their area.

The new rules will mean less generous handouts for those frequent abusers while giving hard-working Canadians, who rarely use the program, more leeway to look for jobs in their field. Canadians on EI will receive more information about jobs in their area.

Humanity team explores “oneness” Continued from front awareness, appreciation and celebration of life’s underlying oneness, an idea that all of life is connected, in the same way that Earth Day is intended to inspire awareness, appreciation and celebration of the Earth’s natural environment.

Global Oneness Day encourages people to bring oneness into their lives in practical ways, not just conceptually.

Oneness is more than a beautiful word. Science shows it is the true human nature – that life is a unified whole with multiple dimensions, each complementing the other.

Beyond that, oneness is the key to peace.

“Peace efforts will continue to fail until people embrace humanity’s oneness,” veteran U.N. envoy Anwarul K. Chowdhury, the leading emissary of the U.N. Culture of Peace initiative, said May 20, 2010, on receiving a worldwide appeal to the

world body to declare an annual Global Oneness Day recognizing humanity’s inner unity, as conceived by Humanity’s Team.

Layton, former country co-ordinator for Canada, and now working in world regions with Humanity’s Team, attended the Global Council for Humanity’s Team in Portugal.

At the May 22 conference, participating countries explored ways to live in oneness, with each other and with other countries, so that peace on earth can prevail.

Some of the questions Humanity’s Team address include what oneness feels like, what it means to live in unity with each other instead of separation and whether oneness can change the world.

Four thousand Humanity’s Team members in Canada feel it can.

Business accolades dished out

By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

They go above and beyond, and for this they are recognized.

Corryn Grayston, representing the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, and Ron Langridge, representing Salmon Arm Downtown, awarded three different plaques Tuesday to signify the achievements of businesses and individuals who help make Salmon Arm a better place.

Angel Agassiz, the Podollan Inn general manager, was nominated by a multiple of people, making her an obvious choice for the 2012 Excellence in Customer Service Award – an award reserved for an individual who demonstrates commitment to excellent service and is dedicated to providing high quality customer care.

A speechless Agassiz was in disbelief upon receiving the award, as tears of joy streamed down her face.

“This really means a lot,” she said as she admired the plaque presented to her in honour of her achievements.

The next award to be

given out was the 2012 Business Excellence Award. This award is presented to a for-profit business that consistently demonstrates a commitment to excellence, business growth and development.

This year’s winner was Askew’s, chosen not only for being a valuable role-model for other businesses but also for its outstanding community support.

David Askew accepted the award on behalf of the company, surrounded by his team at the downtown location.

“It is a great honour to be recognized by our peers,” said Askew.

The next stop on the award presentation tour was the Roots and Blues office, where Hugo Rampen was presented the 2012 Community Booster of Excellence Award, for exceptional contributions to the city, by positively representing and promoting the community through their annual event.

“It is a privilege to receive this award,” said Rampen. “A lot of stuff we do here is not just about creating a great product, but also to boost the community’s profile.”

Rainy days and Shuswap gardens GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

The Shuswap Market News welcomes gardening columnist Margo Westaway to our pages.

Her column will run biweekly in the Market News. Below she provides a brief introduction before taking on the topic of gardening in our current rainy weather.

Greetings all fellow and future gardeners!

I live in Sicamous where, over the past 13 years, I have been busy creating multiple gardens and landscaping with rocks and cedar rail fences, honouring my island roots.

Basically – and probably like most of us gardeners – I have been flying by the seat of my pants and learning as I go, but last October I was lucky enough to take a sixweek Master Organic Gardener – Working With Nature course, offered through the Gaia College on Vancouver Island. Now let’s be clear about this – I “took” the course, which doesn’t grant me the lofty title of “a” master organic gardener. There are plenty of you out there with a wealth of experience and knowledge that I don’t have and probably never will. We

did, however, cover many topics and studied the latest and best organic practices, with the emphasis on soil ecology and microbes and how that translates to healthy plants and good water management practices.

By learning and understanding how nature works in the garden, we can completely eliminate the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and herbicides, creating a healthier environment for ourselves and other precious and important life forms that dwell within our landscapes.

“In order to see a rainbow, you have to stand a little rain.”

That’s true, but if you’ve lost tourist or business dollars, got flooded out, or had to cancel a special outdoor event, rain can be an element of nature we don’t always want or appreciate. I grew up near Grouse Mountain in Vancouver, where it could rain for weeks on end, but my mom would always say that if it wasn’t for the rain, we’d be living in a desert where nothing would grow, so be thankful for it. But with the rains we’ve been having lately, I don’t see anybody out there singing in it!

We have so many ways of describing rainfall: precipitation, the heavens have opened up, pounding, punishing, driving, torrential, pelting, a downpour, a cloudburst, raining buckets or cats and dogs, a deluge, a westcoaster and a soaker rain. Then there are

showers, intermittent rains, sprinkling, spitting, drizzling and a misty rain. We also have a couple of descriptive expressions for the wet stuff, but they so far remain unprintable. When it’s pouring rain, we grumble under our breaths and mutter that it’s crappy out and only good weather for ducks! But such is the nature of rain.

Rain can truly wreak havoc on our landscapes. It can come down like a million watery missiles, hitting the ground at speeds of up to 25 mph – THWACK! The impact can create big craters on an unprotected soil surface and the precious topsoil can be washed away, especially if your garden is on a slope. The life forms and plants can easily be damaged or killed, so it’s really important to protect all of this with a good mulch or living ground cover.

Last year I mulched my gardens with solid shredded leaves, which turned out not to be the greatest, because the water couldn’t always penetrate through it. This year I took the time to make a great mulch cover, which consisted of half partially composted wood chips – to allow the air and water through, a quarter shredded leaves from last fall and the rest fresh grass clippings. (My cement mixer is good for this job or also in the large bucket of the power wagon.) This will provide a great balance of carbon and nitrogen and it’s rich and healthy looking.

Someone sent me a link on a fellow in Oregon who has started a garden movement called Back to Eden (Google the video). He has a very poor source of water for his giant garden and fruit trees, but he uses a good mulch cover every year, and he never has to water – ever. There was a gal in my Gaia class that was taking this big course because she and her husband had just bought a property in town that was chock-a-block full of gardens, but the previous owner’s water bills were a couple of thousand dollars a year and she wanted to learn better ways of maintaining, growing and watering them in order to reduce the bills. She was elated and relieved to learn that the solution was to simply cover her gardens with a healthy organic mulch which would then trap the moisture, protect her soil surface, reduce the weeds, build up the underlying soil, provide good slow-release nutrients and provide food for her worms and microbes.

The rain can be a pain, but the silver lining is that it’s chlorine free and our nifty new smart meters aren’t

counting the energy it’s costing you to use the water pump. Best of all, we don’t have to spend a bunch of time watering!

Rain rarely stops me from going out and working in the yard because I just protect myself from it with a good waterproof cover.

The same goes for our gardens. Just protect it, so you don’t have to sweat it.

Options available for used oil

By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

They are cleaning up our planet one drop at a time.

The British Columbia Used Oil Management Association has sent out their ambassadors again this year, to spread the word on the hazards of dumping oil and what other options are available.

Ali Omelaniec and Emily Louie are traveling British Columbia, attending numerous events in hopes of educating the public on how they can recycle their used oil, antifreeze and even oil filters, free of charge.

They are also stopping off at each of the 520 recycling facilities throughout B.C. to hear feedback, answer questions, and find ways in which they can make their program even easier for both the facilities and the public.

While things seem to be running smoothly, one issue that Salmon Arm Kal Tire is running into is nighttime drop-offs.

People will come when the shop is closed and leave their buckets of oil sitting outside.

The problem with this is that if the bucket leaks or gets knocked over during the night, it creates a huge mess.

This, according to Omelaniec, is a concern for many facilities.

“We want to make sure that the program

# BC Used Oil Management Association ambassadors Ali Omelaniec and Emily Louie offer their support to Kal Tire manager Dan Caterer in Salmon Arm. Kal Tire is just one of the many used oil recycling facilities they will be visiting throughout the summer. doesn’t cause any problems for our collections facilities. Issues like these can discourage them, and cause them to back out of the program,” says Omelaniec.

“We are working on finding ways to fix this problem.”

One way to deter nighttime drop-offs, according to Omelaniec, is to remind the public of the hours of operation.

“Most garages that operate our program are open on Saturdays,” says Omelaniec. Many are also open until 6 p.m..

The two ambassadors will also be speaking to government officials later this month.

Omelaniec and Louie just began their travels in May and both are from Metro Vancouver.

The ambassador pro-

gram not only allows them to spread the word on how people can save the planet but also gives them a chance to see small communities as well as larger cities.

Since the association was formed, there has been a 73 per cent recovery rate, and the organization is aiming even higher.

The program is actively trying to make recycling easier for the public, creating more ‘one-stop-shops’ where possible.

Any business interested in becoming a recycling facility can do so by visiting the website at www.usedoilrecycling.com or by calling 604-703-1990.

Businesses will be responsible for collecting used oil and/or antifreeze and filters,

and pick-up will be arranged as often as seen necessary. All businesses will be given a payment for every litre of oil collected, as well as antifreeze and oil filters.

A cell phone application has also been made available called BC Recyclopedia which allows users to find the recycling depot nearest them.

ANNOUNCEMENT

SPORTS Wins, camps, weather Congratulations are in order for not only the players and coaches of our two Shuswap FC Select teams who will be representing the Thompson Okanagan region in the upcoming provincial championships, but all eight of our Shuswap FC Select teams who made us proud as young ambassadors for our Shuswap region.

The U16 Boys team coached by David Knight overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit in last Saturday’s semifinal and stormed back with four second-half goals to beat Vernon 4-1 and advance to last Sunday’s final against arch rival Kelowna. The final was played with tight checking and fierce intensity as neither squad could find the back of the net in regulation or 20 minutes of overtime. This set up a nerve-racking shootout to decide the regional berth in the Provincials.

Morgan Crandlemire stopped the first Kelowna shooter while all of the first three Shuswap boys scored with their shots. The third Kelowna shooter’s shot rattled off the crossbar and stayed out. When Crandlemire followed up by stopping the fourth, the Shuswap boys began to celebrate as the hard-earned berth in the Provincials was theirs.

The other Shuswap

ON THE PITCH Kevin Harrison FC team heading to the provincials is the U18 Girls coached by Ian McLellan. Even though the girls lost a hardfought regional final to Kelowna, they still advanced by virtue of an added regional berth due to Kelowna hosting the girls U18 provincial tournament.

Most years our select teams start the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League season without having even set foot on an outdoor field before their first game, relying only on training in our indoor facility.

This is a huge disadvantage when competing against teams who have been outdoors for two to four weeks before the league begins.

Usually by the Select season wind-up in the middle of June, our Shuswap FC Teams are playing their best soccer of the season and are looking for one or more summer tournaments to continue playing in and sharpening their skills with practices.

Shuswap Youth Soccer is proud to endorse

and support three summer soccer camps this July and August. Information and registration for all three camps is available on our website at www.shuswapsoccer. com and by clicking on the camps tab.

The first camp, now in its 16th season, is the “Girls Only” held at Little Mountain fields.

Tricia Martin and her all-female coaching crew will host U6-U10 girls on July 9 to 13, while July 16 to 20 will be for the older U11U14 girls.

The following week, July 23 to 27 at Blackburn Park, will be the first time for the “European Football School” Soccer camp. This camp has the highest level certified European and Canadian coaches ever assembled at one camp in the Shuswap region.

The first session of each day will be for 7- to 12year-olds while the late morning, early afternoon session will be for 13- to 18-year-olds.

The final camp, also at Blackburn, runs Aug. 13 to 17 and will be hosted by the Vancou-

ver Whitecaps.

David Broadhurst, technical director of the Whitecaps Okanagan Academy, will be spearheading a cast of current and former Whitecap players including the always popular Carl Valentine. The five days of morning sessions are open to all children ages five to 14.

As we wind up our outdoor spring season, I would to thank all coaches and parents for their understanding in the last-minute schedule changes we have all endured in trying to complete our schedule in this wettest spring in many years.

Just another reminder to all, that up-to-theminute schedule and field changes are available on our website at www.shuswapsoccer. com Shuswap Youth Soccer’s annual volunteer barbecue will be held on Friday, July 6 at the Little Mountain Fieldhouse. Check your emails as invites will be sent to all of our amazing SYSA volunteers within the next week.

RBC boosts Coyote Cafe program

By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

Even those who strive to help others, need a little help themselves.

Thanks to the help of the RBC Royal Bank of Canada in Salmon Arm, which donated $20,000, the Coyote Cafe will not only be back in full swing neat year, but will be expanding its reach to help even more.

The Coyote Cafe began this year as a pilot program, designed to help aboriginal children from grades two to five who have trouble reading.

Despite being in its first year, the program was well received and is already wait-listed for next year.

The money donated by the RBC will not only help improve the program, but also ex-

pand it to include other schools in the area.

Ultimately the group would like see all the schools have the program; however this requires funding.

This year’s program is scheduled to start in October, after students are settled in their classes.

Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society and the Aboriginal Education Council designed a program in which 12 students from South Broadview, Bastion and Hillcrest elementaries, gathered in the learning resource room at South Broadview every Tuesday and Thursday from October until May. The students took part in short reading lessons, read allowed picture books, were given chances to read independently, made crafts

Each student also received a healthy snack.

Other activities included trips to the local

thrift store to buy books, giving the students a chance to start their own library.

Some of the changes envisioned include run-

ning both primary and intermediate programs, purchasing a reading assessment kit, and developing a home reading program.

T S E Math camps for youth L AT to learn more.

A summer program that was successful and popular in its initial offering in 2011, has been expanded for 2012.

It is intended to either improve students’ math skills and confidence, or build on existing confidence and extend mathematical thinking for students desiring enrichment.

With sufficient enrolment, the hope to offer both support and enrichment sections of Math Camp 2012, split into grades 4/5, 6/7 and 8/9.

This non-credit

program will support learners with paper-, game- and computerbased opportunities to encourage active participation while building or expanding competency in number sense, patterns and numeracy relationships.

The “support program” is intended for students who lack comfort when working in math, and would benefit from building skills and confidence in math.

The enrichment program is for students who enjoy the subject

and are looking for new and fun extensions to topics found in the classroom.

Students who have just completed grades 4 to 9 in June, 2012 are invited to enroll.

Students need their six- or seven-digit student number from school (they usually know it as the number used as their password for the school computer network).

The program will start at Haldane Elementary School on Tuesday, July 3, with 15 daily sessions, each

three hours (including 20-minute break) in length, running Monday through Thursday until July 26.

Sessions will be in the morning (8:30 to 11:10 a.m.) or afternoon (11:50 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.).

Registration will be through the School District 73 Summer School website: summerschool.sd73.bc.ca.

For information, contact Mark McVittie, numeracy co-ordinator, S.D. #73. mmcvittie@ sd73.bc.ca or call 250376-2266 Ext 269.

Plan to retain hockey players A hockey academy is being proposed for Chase.

At the June 12 Village of Chase meeting, a group led by Rick Passmore made a presentation regarding a Hockey Academy in Chase.

Working together with Chase Secondary, there would be opportunity for high school

students to participate in an elite hockey school during regular scheduled class time.

With numbers dwindling for younger teams in town, presenters said something needs to be done to provide more incentive for young people to stay and play hockey in Chase.

Young hockey play-

ers looking for more serious hockey schooling would be drawn to a hockey academy with excellent coaching staff, and their families would be prepared to relocate for the opportunity. Chase Secondary would benefit with the potential for a few more students. “The plan is win-

win-win,� said Passmore, “good for increasing high school student numbers, arena use, and general activity in Chase.�

School trustee Denise Harper was there for another program, but said a hockey academy would work well with other plans in the works.

New program helps seniors, people with disabilities modify homes Would a new ramp, handrails or walk-in shower help you maintain your independence at home?

BC Housing’s new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps lowincome B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modiďŹ cations that will allow them to continue living at home.

Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for ďŹ nancial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe.

The goal of the program is to enable people who have physical limitations to live at home longer.

People’s physical needs change over time – sometimes, a small improvement to a home can make the difference between being able to live independently or not.

Types of eligible projects include: ĂŁ +andrails in hallways or stairways, ĂŁ 5DPSV IRU HDVH RI DFFHVV ĂŁ (DV\ WR UHDFK ZRUN RU VWRUDJH areas in the kitchen, ĂŁ /HYHU KDQGOHV RQ GRRUV ĂŁ :DON LQ VKRZHUV ZLWK JUDE bars, and ĂŁ %DWKWXE JUDE EDUV DQG VHDWV The projects must be permanent and ďŹ xed to the home, although exceptions can be made for equipment that gives access to an existing part of the home (e.g. a bath lift). /DXQFKHG LQ -DQXDU\ +$),

The new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps low-income B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modifications for safe, accessible and independent living.

is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia through the CanadaB.C. Affordable Housing Initiative.

Through the HAFI SURJUDP million in grants or forgivable loans will be distributed to qualifying B.C. residents over the next three years.

To qualify for assistance from HAFI, recipients must be a lowincome senior or person with a disability, a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and a B.C. resident. Someone in the household must have a permanent disability or loss of ability that makes it difďŹ cult to perform

day-to-day activities. As well, the total household income and assets must be below a certain limit. BC Housing can tell you the income and house value limits for your area when you apply.

The program is open to both homeowners and those living in market rental accommodation where rents are at the low end of market levels; landlords must apply for improvements on behalf of eligible tenants.

Concrete Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 5 years. A 45-year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally.

After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician. He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces.

His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs.

Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently.

Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job.

For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.

APPLING, MARY CAROL December 24, 1935 - June 9, 2012 Beloved by her family and all who knew her, Mary was born to Carl and Tessie Henning in Spokane, WA. She married Ken Appling in 1953 and together they lovingly raised their family.

Ken entered the ministry in 1978 and Mary cheerfully and joyfully served alongside Ken at churches in Spokane, Washington, Salmon Arm, British Columbia and Silverton, Oregon. After Ken’s death in 1994, Mary moved to Salem, Oregon. In 1998, Mary returned to British Columbia and lived in Kelowna, where daughter Kris and her family live. Mary loved learning, gardening and bird watching, but most of all loved being with her family and friends. She gave the greatest gift to all who met her – every moment with Mary left you feeling valued and loved. Mary is survived by her three children: daughters Patty and Kris and son Terry (Lorrie); granddaughters Jessica (Matt), Jaime, Joni (Jimmy), Leah and grandson Zach. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, June 16th at 11:00 am at Willow Park Church, 439 Highway 33 West, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, there will be an opportunity at the service to donate to one of Mary’s favorite charities.
