Confusion surrounds illegal docks

Shuswap: Residents need to bring structures into compliance or remove them.

By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

Protest and confusion continue to swell on the issue of docks on Shuswap Lake.

There are questions about the number of docks affected by a provincial crackdown, on who can have one, what property owners have to do to own, build or renovate one, who is responsible for enforcement and what is being targeted this year.

While there are close to 2,700 structures on Shuswap, Little Shus-

wap and Mara lakes, current enforcement efforts are being directed to some 1,240 docks on Shuswap Lake that are illegal.

“The latest satellite image taken a couple of weeks ago shows there are about 1,592 docks on Shuswap Lake large,” said Pat Tobin, regional manager of compliance and enforcement for the Thompson Okanagan region of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “Currently 252 are permitted and 1,240 are not permitted.”

sponsible for enforcement, says the ministry is in year two of a threeyear focus on the Sicamous area.

Several dock owners on the east side of Sicamous Narrows were notified by letter last fall that their docks are illegal.

“Out of 12 docks posted with notices, only one person has come forward,” says Tobin, noting dock owners still have a short time to get dock permits before the ministry targets them for removal. “People need to make application in regard to beach issues, docks, concrete ramps and commercial operations

without permits.”

As well as dealing with the Sicamous area, Tobin says his ministry is also planning to “do a blitz” on another area of the lake.

Docks in the yet-to-be chosen area will be targeted for removal next spring or later in the winter.

The ministry will focus primarily on dock structures that have no ability to get permits, says Tobin, noting there are some 100 to 150 on the lake that have to go and some 50 of them will be targeted for reSee All docks on page 2

All docks require provincial permit

Continued from front moval over the winter.

“And if we go in with a trespass notice, I am not obligated to get bids or save money,” he says, noting the Land Act is one of the most powerful pieces of B.C. legislation.

“We’d seize that dock and when we do that, we will move it and you will be billed for cost of removal.

And on top of that, administrative penalties go as high as $1,000, and when we’ve had our bluff called, we typically go to 1,000.”

Who may have a dock?

Only true waterfront owners are permitted to have docks on Shuswap Lake.

People living across a road or railway line from the beach may not have a dock, but are permitted to have a buoy.

All docks must have provincial permits, which are available through FrontCounter B.C. Contact FrontCounter BC by calling toll free to 1-877-8553222, by sending an email to FrontCounter BC@gov.bc.ca or by visiting them at 2501 14th Ave. in Vernon,

or 441 Columbia St. in Kamloops.

As well as permits from FrontCounter BC, North Shuswap residents will have to get a development permit from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District if they are planning anything new – replacing or adding to an existing dock, for example.

Development permits for docks and buoys will also become necessary in CSRD electoral areas C South Shuswap and E Rural Sicamous when their official community plans are in place – perhaps by the end of 2013.

“At the end of the day, we will have one zoning bylaw for the entire lake and the same permitting requirements regardless of what electoral area you live in,” says Marcin Pachcinski, CSRD’s manager of Parks and Recreation.

“It doesn’t replace any provincial permitting processes, it’s a separate process.”

Tobin says the permitting process for new structures is a 140day mandated time.

Why increased enforcement now?

With the amalgamation of compliance

officers from several ministries in 2011, Tobin’s team increased from one compliance officer covering the B.C. Interior from Quesnel to the U.S. border to 60 officers.

The outcome of that government decision to get bigger a bang for the buck means forest compliance, which was excellent, is now also focusing on water issues, Tobin says.

“Our compliance rates were abysmal,” he says, reiterating that the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) is in no way involved in enforcement. “Why have forestry going out into the bush to monitor an industry that’s pretty much in compliance when we have all this non-compliance.”

Tobin says that while his office is determined to rid the lake of noncompliant docks, there are many opportunities for communities or groups to consider communal docks to serve the public.

“We’re not saying no to docks, but it’s time to take a grown-up approach to some basic management,” he says.

“If we don’t follow some basic rules and standards about how and where we build, it’s gonna be a free-forall.” åPHOTOGRAPHERå

Teenager arrested for dealing

ShuSwap

council NOTES RCMP have arrested an 18-year-old for dealing methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine in a socalled “dial-a-dope” operation.

Charges of trafficking in a controlled substance are pending against the woman, who is from Salmon Arm. Members of the Salmon Arm general investigation section made the arrest and the woman was found to be in possession of the three illegal narcotics. Following the arrest, RCMP subsequently obtained a warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and searched a residence in relation to the drug trafficking operation.

Rescue on the lake

Three people, including two young girls on paddle boards, had to be rescued from Shuswap Lake by the police boat on Sunday, June 9.

The young paddle boarders got into trouble due to the strong winds and poor conditions on Shuswap Lake at the time of the incident. Both girls were taken to hospital to be assessed for hypothermia but were otherwise unharmed.

Fight complaint, woman arrested

RCMP are recommending charges of assault against a 27-year-old woman from Salmon Arm who was involved in a fight Friday night.

On June 7, at approximately 9:50 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a fight in progress on Ninth Ave SE, where several people were involved in an altercation. Upon arrival, police learned that two women were involved in the altercation that resulted in minor injuries to one of the women, who was transported to hospital for treatment.

This was one of numerous assault/fight complaints the Salmon Arm RCMP attended on June 7.

Alcohol suspected

Police responded to a single-vehicle accident in Blind Bay on June 8, at approximately 2:17 a.m.

Police located a vehicle that had left the roadway and rolled on to its roof. The male driver refused transport to the hospital and was found to be impaired by alcohol. Charges of impaired driving are being recommended against the youth.

Release at Relay

n Cancer survivors release yellow and blue balloons at this Year’s Relay for Life event which raised $150,090 for the Canadian Cancer Society, despite being down three teams and 74 participants over last year.

“Considering that, we smashed it out of the park, we beat them all,” said thrilled co-ordinator Jen Dies.

She offered grateful thanks to volunteer leadership co-ordinator Sheryl Anderson and her team, sponsors, entertainers, the Elks who accommodated the event and the community that topped Kelowna’s $86,000 and Vernon’s $88,000 totals.

city’s smoking ban extended

Bylaw: Dan MacQuarrie lobbied for change, law named after him.

By lachlan labere

marKet news staff

A Salmon Arm resident and longtime, outspoken anti-tobacco activist will be recognized in a new bylaw to ban smoking in Salmon Arm parks.

On Monday evening, a public hearing was held in city council chambers for the proposed Parks Regulation Amendment Bylaw that would see smoking prohibited in all municipal parks and pub-

Kelowna • Penticton • Salmon Arm • Valleyview Rutland • West Kelowna • Vernon • North Kamloops • Sahali

lic areas including the Ross Street Plaza, Canoe Beach, the Turner Creek Trail and Mt. Ida Cemetery. Dan MacQuarrie was one of the few to turn out for the hearing, though he kept quiet, despite having spent more than three decades working towards such a bylaw in Salmon Arm and elsewhere in the province.

With no one speaking for or against the bylaw, the hearing ended quickly. Mayor Nancy

Cooper then suggested an amendment, that the bylaw be named after MacQuarrie.

“This smoking bylaw has been the work of one Mr. Dan MacQuarrie, and he has actually been working on smoking bylaws for 38 years, or non-smoking bylaws, and so I am just asking council if they would add Dan’s name to this so it would be kind of like… Dan’s Bylaw,” said Cooper.

Couns. Debbie Can-

non and Marg Kentel expressed their respect and appreciation for all the work MacQuarrie has done, but were reluctant to see the city set a precedent by naming a bylaw after someone.

With respect to Cannon’s position, Coun.

Alan Harrison argued in favour of recognizing MacQuarrie, stating it would add a little pizzazz to the bylaw.

“I think it will maybe help catch the community’s interest and un-

derstanding of the bylaw,” said Harrison.

After the amendment passed, council approved third reading.

“In my mind, the biggest reason for this is so that we don’t have to breathe in second-hand smoke when we’re doing recreational activities,” said Harrison.

Council also gave third reading to a related ticketing bylaw.

Those caught smoking in a park or public place may be fined $100.

3.

Valuable volunteers sidelined by courts

One has to wonder when B.C. Court of Appeal judges volunteered in their community?

If they did, they would understand there is an extremely short supply of individuals who willingly give up their own time to help organizations around them. And it’s increasingly difficult to get people to lend a hand as life seems to get busier. So what did the B.C. Court of Appeals do? They have made it more difficult for groups to attract volunteers by declaring that elected officials are in conflict of interest when participating in a non-profit society that receives civic funding.

In Enderby, there has already been one casualty as Coun. Brad Case has resigned from his role with the chamber of commerce.

That’s unfortunate as Case brought a wealth of business and community experience to the chamber. And, in turn, he could provide knowledge about the chamber’s inner workings to his council colleagues.

Many communities, and particularly small ones, don’t have the luxury of differentiating between people who sit on municipal council or regional district and those who volunteer with a service agency or business group. Often multiple hats are worn.

Yes, conflict of interest can occur but there is provincial legislation that clearly outlines the guidelines. And the simple solution is for a politician not to be involved in the discussion on a group they belong to, particularly if that organization receives public funding.

The provincial government needs to review the court ruling and make changes to legislation to ensure conflicts are avoided while allowing volunteerism to continue.

OpiniOn

Wearing a PFD just makes sense Come Sunday morning there will be hundreds of young kids down at the end of the wharf at Marine Park.

They will be participating in the annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby and each and every one of them will be wearing a life-jacket or personal flotation device (PFD).

Although it is not required by law, wearing a life-jacket is a requirement of the derby.

To me, as one of the organizers, it only makes sense, especially when there are so many excited young people.

(There are also six certified lifeguards on duty.)

Under current federal government regulations, a person operating a boat or pleasure craft is only responsible for equipping the boat with the proper mandatory safety equipment, including life jackets or PFD’s and for ensuring the safety of those on- board. It really bothers me when I see a boat heading out, with children onboard, and no one is wearing a life- jacket. Having life jackets stowed away somewhere on-board – maybe

The GreaT OuTDOOrs James Murray you’re not quite sure where they are – may comply with the regulations but it is of little value when you suddenly need to put them on everyone on board under less than ideal conditions.

Why not go one better than simple compliance with the regulations and take control of both your vessel and the situation. Insist that everyone on board wear their life jacket or PFD. They’ll get used to wearing them and after a few outings, they won’t even think twice about putting them on. I simply will not take someone out in a boat with me if they will not wear a life-jacket.

There are a number of things to consider when

choosing a life-jacket. There are life-jackets and PFD’s specially designed for various activities including pleasure boating, fishing, water skiing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing and rafting. Lifejackets are also available in a variety of bright colours.

The Canadian Coast Guard strongly recommends wearing bright colours for better visibility. When determining what size of life-jacket or PFD to wear, remember that sizing is based on chest measurements for adults and weight for children. Read the label for details, and most importantly, try it on. It should fit snugly, with all the buckles, zippers and snaps done up, but still allow room to breathe and move around freely. A life-jacket or PFD is too big if you can pull it up over your ears and too small if you cannot fasten all the buckles.

Too often the decision to actually wear or not wear a life-jacket is based on the perception of how much risk there might be. On a nice warm, summer afternoon, when the sun is shining di-

rectly down and that cool breeze off the water seems so refreshing, when the thought of having to wear a life-jacket seems bothersome, it is far too easy to leave it off and have it somewhere close by because well, there’s no chance of anything going wrong.

However, things can go wrong, desperately wrong, in a matter of seconds. Not only on-board a boat but on a wharf or even on land near the shoreline. Take yours eyes off a small child for even a few seconds and, well, we’ve all read about tragic incidents of young children drowning.

The way I look at it, lifejackets save lives, and quite simply, if you’re not wearing it, even the best, most expensive life-jacket in the world is of little value when something suddenly goes wrong and you only have seconds to react. Close by may not be close enough.

Don’t take any unnecessary chances – especially not when it comes to kids. We never have and never will at the Kid’s Fishing Derby.

Drums beating along the Nile Global Views Gwynne Dyer

Beware the open mike.

On Tuesday, May 28, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi summoned senior politicians of all parties to discuss Ethiopia’s plan to dam the main tributary of the Nile River.

One proposed sending special forces to destroy the dam.

Another thought buzzing the dam site with jet fighters might scare the Ethiopians off.

Ayman Nour, a former presidential candidate and a more sophisticated player, suggested Egypt support rebel groups fighting the Ethiopian regime.

“This could yield results in the diplomatic arena,” he said.

And none of them realized their discussion was being broadcast live by Egyptian state television.

All students of geopolitics are familiar with the legend that Egypt has privately warned the governments upstream on the Nile that it will start bombing if they build dams on the river without its permission.

The truth of that story is about to be tested.

Last month, Ethiopia started diverting the waters of the Blue Nile in order to build the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, a $4.7-billion,

6,000-megawatt hydroelectric project that is the centrepiece of the country’s plan to become Africa’s largest exporter of power.

Egypt instantly objected, for it depends utterly on irrigation water from the Nile to grow its food.

Even now, Egypt must import almost 40 per cent of its food — and the population is still growing fast.

If the amount of water coming down the Nile diminishes appreciably, Egyptians will go hungry.

A treaty signed in 1929 gave 90 per cent of the Nile’s water to the downstream countries of Egypt and Sudan, even though all the water in the river starts as rain in the upstream countries of Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi.

That caused no problems at the time, but Egypt is now using all its share of the water — and the upstream countries are starting to use the water for irrigation, too.

The Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is the first real test of Egypt’s tolerance for upstream dam-building.

The reservoir will take 63-million cubic metres of water to fill; Egypt’s annual share of the Nile’s water is 55.5-million cubic metres.

So, even if Ethiopia takes five years to fill the reservoir, that will mean 20 per cent cuts in the water Egypt receives from the Nile for five years.

And, even after that, there will be a large annual loss to evaporation.

The dam that was

getting the Egyptian politicians worked up is just the start.

Ethiopia plans to spend a total of $12-billion on dams on the Blue Nile for electricity and irrigation and Uganda is negotiating with China for financing for a 600-megawatt dam on the White Nile.

More dams and irrigation projects will follow — and the upstream states are in no mood to let Egypt exercise its veto under the 1929 treaty.

That treaty was imposed when all the countries involved, except Ethiopia, were under British rule, and it reflected Britain’s big investment in Egypt.

“by 2025, a dozen years from now, egypt will be trying to feed 96-million people, which would be very hard even with its existing share of the Nile’s water...”

In 2010, the upstream countries signed a Co-operative Framework Agreement to seek more water from the River Nile, effectively rejecting the colonial-era treaty and demanding that Egypt relinquish its veto and accept a lower water quota.

That’s not going to happen.

Mohammed Allam, Egypt’s minister of water resources under president Hosni Mubarak when the upstream states signed their agreement three years ago, warned that “Egypt reserves the right to take whatever course it sees suitable

to safeguard its share.”

The post-revolutionary Egyptian government cannot afford to be less firm in defending Egypt’s interests.

The issue will probably be kicked down the road for a couple of years because the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will not be completed until 2015 at the earliest.

But, there is big trouble for Egypt (and Sudan) down the road.

By 2025, a dozen years from now, Egypt will be trying to feed 96-million people, which would be very hard even with its existing giant’s share of the Nile’s water and all its current food imports.

The countries that signed the Co-operative Framework Agreement will have 300-million people, so by then they will also be extracting very large amounts of water from the Nile Basin for irrigation.

Without that water, Egypt’s only options are beggaring itself with massive food imports (until the foreign exchange runs out), or famine.

Unless, of course, it decides on war — but its options are not very good on that front, either.

Not only are the upstream countries a very long way from Egypt (the Nile is the world’s longest river), but they will have strong support from China, which is financing most of the dams they are now building or planning.

Egypt, by contrast, has repudiated its former American ally and may find the U.S. is reluctant to re-engage even if the government in Cairo can overcome

its own distaste for Washington.

Why would the United States want a confrontation with China over Egypt?

So, there probably won’t be a war — and Egypt will probably face an apocalyptic food shortage in 10 or 15 years.

South ShuSwap Show celebrates local art

The largest art show in the Shuswap is just weeks away and organizers are hoping to make their 30th year the biggest and best yet.

The Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts has been growing each year, bringing in more and more works of art in a variety of platforms.

The eight-day event has been attracting spectators from as far as Vancouver and some even out of province who plan their vacations around the event.

“We are the voice of the Shuswap artists,” festival president Larry Bell said, explaining how the show is becoming widely recognized for the immensely talented artists and the diverse selection of art.

Besides featuring between 200 and 300 pieces of original artwork that range from wood carving, stained and fused glass, pottery, fibre art and more, the festival also features workshops.

Not only is the Shuswap full of uniquely talented people, Bell said, but many are willing to share their talents. As a result, a wide variety of the artists have developed skills in many genres, giving them the ability to bring them all together to create something amazing.

This year there will be a workshop that will teach participants how to paint with light-reflecting glass and a second workshop on fabric art.

Also, for the first time since its inception, the children’s workshops are being sponsored by a local business.

Thanks to a local art studio, the festival has been able to increase the number of children’s Picasso’s Pavilion workshops from one to four. These will be open to anyone between the ages of four and 17.

Children who have created some works of art of their own may also submit to the show for the reduced price of $1 per item.

This allows the child to give their work some exposure, and helps create a confidence boost, Bell said.

A gift shop will be stocked full of items created by participating artists.

Admission is $5 and the show generally attracts anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 spectators over the eight days.

This is the organization’s only real fundraiser throughout the year, Bell said, and it has proven to

Food for Relay It all started with a pancake breakfast and ended with the hope of finding a cure for breast

cancer.

Blind Bay Bunch and Keep Fit came together to organize a fundraising pancake breakfast at the Cedar Heights Community Hall at the end of April.

With well over 250 guests in the three hours the meals were served, the group was able to raise $1,116.

The money was then handed to the Cedar Heights Community Association who, in turn, donated the money to the Relay For Life, an event which the Blind Bay Bunch

takes part in annually.

This is not the only time the CHCA has donated to causes of this sort; in fact it isn’t even the only time this year.

The group donated the money raised from their Kids Shop at Christmas, with $650 going each to the Shriners and BC Children’s Hospital.

Hall members host multiple fundraisers throughout the year, each supporting the community and charities and hope to donate to Canada Day festivities as well.

Reconstructing a failed garden Gaia GaRdeninG Margo Westaway

First, to all the grads out there: Don’t worry if your grades are low, and your marks are few; Remember that the mighty oak, was once a nut like you!

And a little joke for the gardeners…..

Q: What did one strawberry say to the other?

A: “We wouldn’t be in this jam if we hadn’t been caught in the same bed together!”

As a footnote for the last column on weeds, I left out an important method of controlling them, which is using a good, organic mulch.

This will also trap and hold moisture, protect the soil surface from harsh weather, feed the soil food web, give your plants a healthy slow-release fertilizer and provide food for other critters like snails, who may dine on the mulch instead of your vegetables and flowers.

Also, landscape fabric does a poor job of controlling weeds (as well as suffocating the soil food web) and can become a nightmare to extract plants from, so I don’t recommend it.

Now on to the subject at hand…

Whenever we have a few minutes at home and want to have a bit of a laugh, we google up the “fails” of whatever subject we want (ie sports fails, etc.)

Not only is it good for a chuckle, but it’s also a great way to learn from other people’s mistakes and mishaps.

I think there should be a new category called “garden fails,” so we can all have a good

tee-hee about someone else’s gardening foofoos and learn from them too.

Take some of mine, for instance…

I have six major gardens coming up the driveway and around the house and all of them have failed for different reasons.

Two of the beds have rotten wood boxes, others have had plants take over and one is totally lost to weeds and raspberries. All of these problems could have been prevented and avoided, so the best way for me to deal with these disasters is to learn from them and start over.

This year I got around to deconstructing, then properly reconstructing, my once beautiful, trellised veggie garden, which consisted of four six- by four-foot boxes as well as a lovely stone flower bed at one end, totalling 35 feet in length.

This mega project was the first redo of my

garden fails, using all the tricks I’ve learned along the way and also learning where I went wrong in the first place.

This is how I tackled it.

After I removed the rotten wood, the five eight-foot-high trellises and the stones from the flower garden, I dug out the entire area, right down to the subsoil and used that material as fill somewhere else.

I could see that the soil had become dirt because no organic matter had been added to it for at least two years, and not one worm or bug was found.

Clearly the soil food web had not been fed and all the critters either starved or moved out, so it’s clearly important to keep that organic material up to maintain a living soil.

Next I cut the grass away from the beds and put down a long row of two-inch thick patio pavers as a 20-inch-wide sidewalk and weed barrier along the front and under the

Then I replaced the wooden boxes for the rot-proof cinder blocks, using clean sand for leveling and draped them with easy-to-cut Dinoflex mats, which covered the holes so nothing would fall or grow into them.

I also dug down deep around the blocks and lined the outside and inside of the beds with the mats for an extra weed barrier, as well as placing a thick layer of paper on the floor of the beds, so no wandering roots could come up.

The posts were dug in and the trellises then attached to them. Finally, the beds were filled with beautiful new soil and voila! – a lovely new garden that’s pretty fail-proof. That’s one down and five more to go! Groan…

More than fried bread, drumming and dancing living WEll Don’t get me wrong, fried bread, drumming and powwow dancing are all good things.

But this Aboriginal Day (June 21) there are many other exciting events to celebrate.

In 1996, the first Aboriginal Day was established through the combined efforts of the sacred assembly and Elijah Harper, a respected elder and speaker who left for the spirit world May 17, 2013.

Anyone is welcome to join in and celebrate the accomplishments of First Nations people as we move towards the future.

Many positive changes are appearing in aboriginal communities as the people reclaim their pathways to health. Aboriginal health is seen as a combination of spiritual, emotional and physical well-being which is different from western models. The First Nations Health Authority was established and is poised to reflect the collective knowledge of First Nation people by embracing the traditional practices of the past and the medical technology of today.

Many aboriginal and Métis communities are also stepping forward to help make their communities healthier.

Communities are returning to past practices like hunting and fishing camps, and teaching the next generation to gath-

er and prepare traditional foods and medicines. Though that may sound like day-to-day activity, it also brings communities and generations together to practice healthy living.

Walking and hiking in the mountains and fields, whether to hunt, fish or gather food, teaches many valuable skills. Hunting and fishing camps give their first kills to the community and help feed their elders with meat and fish. They also teach us to feed our people by gathering food and preparing it later for storage.

These activities also provide exercise for all ages, and being out in nature helps improve mental and emotional well-being. Most importantly, these practices help teach the next generation to respect the land and its abundance and to regain some of the traditional practices that have kept aboriginal people alive and healthy.

Aboriginal communities are successfully melding the past and the future in order to become healthy, strong people and communities.

So, when you join the Aboriginal Day festivities on June 21 and admire the drumming, dancing and bead work – as well as the occasional treat of fried bread – remember there is so much more to celebrate.

-The author, Kym Howay, is an aboriginal tobacco reduction coordinator with Interior Health.

Classifieds Cheers of joy

keep you on the right track.

Simple ways to reduce fatigue

Exercise and drinking plenty of water are two ways to effectively combat fatigue.

F

atigue can indicate a host of things. Men and women who are overworked feel fatigue, as do men and women whose diet is low on nutrition. Fatigue can also be the result of a medical condition, which only sheds light on how important it is for men and women dealing with fatigue to speak to their physician about their condition.

In addition to working with

a physician to fight fatigue, there are steps men and women can take reduce fatigue and start feeling more energetic. * Get off the couch. A sedentary lifestyle will only make it more likely that you will feel fatigued. But including daily exercise as part of your routine will not only boost your energy levels, but also improve circulation, in-

crease your metabolism and relieve tension, an especially valuable benefit for overworked men and women. * Get some sleep. The notion that sleep can help fight fatigue might sound simple, but a good night’s sleep can elevate energy levels throughout the day, helping the body rest and recover. Failing to get sufficient sleep, which many people find is seven

to eight hours per night, can turn today’s fatigue into tomorrow’s fatigue, and so on. * Address any sources of stress. Fatigue can be a side effect of stress. Many men and women find work is their primary source of stress, but finances and relationship issues can be stressful as well.

Whatever the source of your stress, address it and don’t allow it to fester. If it’s work, then look for ways to make work less stressful, whether it’s telecommuting more often or sharing more responsibilities. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress, but men and women fighting stressrelated fatigue should address the source of the stress as well. * Reduce sugar intake.

Sugar might provide an initial burst of energy, especially for people battling fatigue. However, once your blood sugar levels begin to drop, which can happen rather quickly, you will notice a rather steep decline in your energy level.

To successfully combat fatigue, avoid relying on quick fixes that only offer temporary relief. * Alter your eating habits.

If you’re a proponent of three large meals per day but are battling fatigue, then it might be time to alter your eating habits. Replace the large meals with smaller meals, and snack throughout the day to maintain high energy levels. Just be sure to consume healthy snacks, and don’t forget to drink water throughout the day. Doing so will fight dehydration, which can also cause fatigue.

Federal budget deals with environment

From the hill Colin Mayes A local mayor in my constituency, made the statement, “The Federal Conservative Government has no interest in climate change and doing anything about it.

They don’t pay attention to the science.”

Nothing could be further from the truth. In the budget, money was allotted to continue our responsible, environmental strategy. Environmental protection goes hand-in-hand with our economic future.

The budget supported clean technologies by

providing $325 million to Sustainable Development Technology Canada to demonstrate new, clean technologies that create efficiencies for businesses and economic growth. An additional $20 million was provided to continue conserving ecological sensitive land. We also included a broadening of the use of the accelerated capital cost allowance for investments in a broader range of biogas production equipment and equipment to treat gases from waste.

Protection of fish and fish habitat has been a priority. In the budget we allocated $10 million for projects by local groups in B.C. and across Canada to improve the conservation of fisheries. To add to this, we listened to the Pacific Salmon Foundation and dedicated all funds collected through

the sale of the ‘Salmon Conservation Stamp’ to the foundation to continue their good work with communities to protect salmon habitat in our province.

If you recall, your government designated the first ever marine park in the Scott Islands area. In budget 201314, we allocated $4 million to continue marine conservation measures that will better protect this area and the ocean around it.

Your government has signed on with the Copenhagen Accord. We are committed to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) by 17 per cent in 2020. We are well over half way there. This is significant because, at the same time, our economy has grown, making this achievement even more significant. We were the first government in Cana-

dian history to reduce greenhouse gases.

Since 2006, your government has spent $17 billion to support and protect the environment. This $17 billion supported the eco-energy initiatives targeting renewable energy, energy science and technology, and energy efficiency. Our clean air regulatory agenda will reduce GHGs, and the eco-energy retrofit program for home-owners, made homes more energy efficient. And finally, the budget added $50 million to protect Canada’s species at risk. It also allocated money to enhance oil and gas pipeline safety and tanker safety.

Yes, Prime Minister Stephen Harper does have a plan for protecting the environment!

City woman shares her songs A familiar face in the Salmon Arm business, community, Melanie Hart has a secret she will share this Sunday in a concert at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

As well as a varied business life, Hart has been on a musical journey that includes national and international TV appearances, an appearance at an international Opera House on

the Black Sea, speaking and singing tours to places as diverse as Parliament Hill, international prisons and homeless shelters.

In her concert, Hart hopes to combine the intimacy of a familylike gathering with a first-class performance.

Ever since performing her Broken Hallelujah to an audience attending a human trafficking awareness eve-

ning in January 2012, Hart has set her sights on performing at the Salmar Classic.

Pre-concert tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and are available at Bond Boutique, Victorian Impressions and the Drop Zone Weight Loss and Wellness Centre. Adult tickets will be $15 at the door. The concert takes place at 4 p.m.

Children learn life skills through free play time

As obesity in children becomes more common and a concern for parents and those involved with children, is there information on getting children out to play? And what do we mean by “play”?

Children today are busy, they have after school activities, sports, “play dates” and are more often than not driven in a car to these events.

Fitting in all these appointments is timeconsuming and time

The child chooses the activity, the materials, the rules and the outcome. In most play, children are taking risks and are learning how to make decisions and choices. They are probably also getting messy and dirty. They need these hands-on experiences and need to advance at their own rate. They should be having fun not dictated by someone else.

Along the way they will have fun, be creative and experience the joy of discovery.

spent just sitting.

Sports are good for children. They learn to work as a team, share, learn empathy and how to be a good sport.

These are qualities that cannot be denied.

But is this “play”? Is a “play date” true play?

Sports are organized and have rules set by someone else such as the time and the place and what you wear.

A “play date” is usually arranged by a parent, the child is driven to the play date and picked up at a designated time.

True play is completely child-driven.

The adult can set up the environment to foster play for children.

Give the children blankets to make a fort either inside or outside.

Older or more experienced children can be given hammers, nails

n Premier Christy Clark leads her cabinet Monday to take their oath of office at Government House in Victoria. Among them is Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone.

MLA for Chase joins cabinet

Appointment: Todd Stone pleasantly surprised by the appointment.

Hospitals and highways across B.C. are now the responsibility of Kamloops’ two MLAs. Both KamloopsNorth Thompson’s Terry Lake and Kamloops-South Thompson’s Todd Stone snagged seats in Premier Christy Clark’s new cabinet, unveiled on Friday, June 7.

Lake, in his second term as MLA, moves from his previous position as minister of environment to minister of health.

Stone, a new face in the Clark government who represents Chase, will head up the ministry of transportation and serve as deputy house leader.

“The voice of the people of Kamloops is going to be heard loud and clear at that cabinet table,” Stone told Black Press by phone from the Vancouver ceremony.

“Terry and I are going to be able to fight very, very hard for the priorities in Kamloops.

Of course, we both have a provincial mandate in our respective portfolios, but we’ll

be at the table making sure the issues of Kamloops are front and centre.”

Stone said the cabinet appointment was an unexpected “bonus” and he’s excited to head up a ministry that deals with “some of the most important issues” for British Columbians.

Lake also said the appointment of two local politicians to “two very big files” is a good sign for Kamloops.

“I think that shows a great sense of confidence by the premier in us and bodes well for our communities,” he said.

Lake wants his ministry to look for new and innovative ways of delivering heath care, with a focus on health promotion that keeps people from needing acute medical care down the line.

Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar called the appointments “significant,” but said they won’t necessarily translate into more projects and provincial dollars for Kamloops.

But, he said, Lake and Stone will bring an

understanding of local concerns to projects like the later phases of the multi-million-dollar Royal Inland Hospital expansion.

“If you look at the hospital specifically, we have very strong commitments from the premier and both Todd and Terry on that,” Milobar said.

“So, we were looking for those commitments to be followed through on regardless of which ministries they were in.”

Milobar said having local representation at the cabinet table does make the city’s working relationship with the province a little easier.

“Certainly I consider both men friends of mine. It makes it a little easier to have those conversations,” he said.

“It’s always nice, I can text them or leave them a voicemail and they get back to me almost right away. I’m not saying they don’t do that generally, but not all MLAs and mayors get along like that.”

With Lake heading up the ministry of health, the decision

on the controversial proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen is now in the hands of Langley MLA Mary Polak, who takes over the environment portfolio, and new minister of energy and mines Bill Bennett, who represents Kootenay-East.

Kamloops Area Preservation Association member John Schleiermacher hopes the new appointees will put the project “under a microscope.”

He also hopes to see Lake engage more with groups in the community that have concerns about the mine.

As environment minister, Lake was required to stay impartial on the mine project, which he said kept him from meeting with many of Ajax’s opponents.

“Now he’s representing the people of Kamloops in regards to the mine and his concerns should be the welfare of the people of Kamloops,” Schleiermacher said.

“We’ll be looking forward to meeting with him and express-

ing our concerns on the issue. I know he’s had to step back from the issue, but now I think he’s going to have to become much more involved than he has in the past.”

The new cabinet was formally sworn in on Monday, June 10.

Canines prompt complaints

By Cavelle Layes

MARKET NEWS STAff

Dogs are an ongoing problem facing Chase bylaw officers, but a solution might not be far away.

At least 17 complaints regarding dogs came into the village last month, Chase corporate officer Larry Randle says.

Almost any kind of complaint related to dogs that your imagination can conjure up have been received, he explains.

This includes barking dogs, dogs leaving their mess on neighbours’ lawns, dogs leaving their mess in public parks, unlicensed dogs, aggressive dogs, too many dogs and more.

While the Shuswap Market News has received complaints of unruly dogs located on VLA Road, Randle said it is a tough area to cover.

“Only the first 300 metres of VLA Road is

in the village boundaries so the animal control officer does not spend a lot of time on that stretch,” he said.

However, if they are aware of a potential problem in the area, they could keep a closer eye on it. Those who are experiencing dog-related issues may always call the village office, he says.

If the problem area or dog is within village boundaries and the animal control officer can find appropriate evidence of a bylaw violation, he can address the matter. Otherwise, it’s out of his hands if it is not within the village boundaries.

In the case of dogs biting runners on the VLA, Randle recommends calling the RCMP first as personal safety is being compromised. Otherwise, it would depend on if it happens within village boundaries.

The bylaw officers have been thinking about pushing for an

cAvEllE lAyES/MARKET NEWS

n The possibility of an off-leash dog park has not died. With increasing dog-related bylaw complaints, the village is discussing the matter again. off-leash dog park in Chase once more, an idea that has been brought up a number of times only to return to the shelf.

If the village were to establish an off-leash dog park one day, it could go in Mill Park, Willson Park, along Shuswap Avenue, at the far end of Memorial Park or just about anywhere there would be adequate space, Randle said.

“No matter where one may eventually go,

be certain that some people won’t want it there.”

A number of people in Chase have wanted an off-leash park for a long time. It will cost money however, to appropriately fence and maintain an off-leash dog area, something that has dragged the idea down in the past. “... People can have almost anything they wish for as long as they are willing to pay for it,” Randle said.

Village council ap-

pears to be generally supportive of the idea, he said, but where to put it, how much it will cost and allocating scarce staff time to do the work are perhaps the biggest challenges to creating one.

The village would also first need to appease people who will oppose the location before a park could be established.

The lack of an overwhelming public demand for the park, however, has also been a contributing factor as to why a dog park has not yet been established, Randle said.

While the park could provide a safe place for residents to take their pets, Randle is not sure if it will stop all bylaw breach complaints that are coming in.

“I think some people would use the park and that would be a good thing. However, I also think some people would still not take proper care and responsibility for their dogs.”

Woman struck by train on Saturday Police confirm an elderly woman died after being hit by a train near Chase last weekend.

Chase RCMP were called to an area of track 1.5 kilometres east of the village about 10:23 p.m. Saturday, June 8 after CP workers reported hitting a woman.

Chase RCMP Sgt. Gary Heebner reports that the woman had been lying on the tracks just outside Chase when she was hit.

The identity of the woman has since been confirmed after police were able to trace information provided by a banking receipt found on her.

While her name has not yet been released, Heebner said she was a 64-year-old white woman.

The Chase RCMP,

CP rail police and the BC Coroners Service were all on-site.

The accident is still being investigated, with all information having been forwarded to the BC Coroners Service.

Minor injuries in head-on crash

A late-night accident just east of Chase left two people lucky to be alive.

On June 10 at approximately 10:20 p.m., Chase RCMP were called to a headon collision between a tractor-trailer and a small car on the TransCanada Highway at Little River.

After an investigation, it was determined that the eastbound car crossed the centre line and hit the westbound tractor-trailer.

Neither driver was

& 171 Shuswap St St. • 250 250.832.2131 832 2131

seriously injured, and no other people were in the vehicles. Police say alcohol was a factor in the collision, and the investigation is

continuing.

Highway #1 was closed for approximately one hour while the vehicles were removed from the road.

Young Guns two-time champs

By Cavelle Layes

MArKet neWS StAff

Despite mother nature trying hard to shut them down, the Young Guns came out on top for the second year in a row.

Eight teams gathered in the Adams Lake area for the annual Brennan Creek slopitch tournament last weekend.

The two-day event saw eight teams competing through rain and scorching heat, weeding out the weak from the strong.

Chase’s Young Guns were the returning champs and made it clear early on that they

were not ready to give up their title.

Sunday narrowed the competition, leaving the travelling Vancouver Islanders to come in third after two days

of hard play.

The finals saw the Kamloops Pirates narrowly lose to the Young Guns with a final score of 22-21, earning them second place and leav-

ing the Young Guns the reigning champs once more.

Chase will be hosting their slo pitch tournament June 22, with their annual ball dance

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.

OUELLETTE, JOSEPH ALFRED “FRED” NOVEMBER 4, 1917 – JUNE 3, 2013 It is with great sadness that the family of Fred Ouellette announces his passing on June 3, 2013 at the age of 95.

Fred is survived by sons Wilfred “Wilf” (Gloria), John (Lisa), and Jim; brother Nelson (Yolande); grandchildren David, Dianne, Jayson; Kurt, Shane, Kyle, Angela, Tammy, Jordan; Carmen, Liam; greatgrandchildren; nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, wife Lynn, son Joseph Clement, grandchildren Randine, Guy and Christopher, brothers and sisters-in-law Harvey (Jacqueline), Jerry (Yolande) and George (Laurette).

Fred was born in Cap-St Ignace, Quebec, the eldest of 5 boys. Fred homesteaded at Roquemaure and then worked as a lumberjack and QPP officer. He and his brother Harvey hoboed across Canada by rail boxcar during the depression to find their Uncle’s gold stash on the Athabasca River banks near Chisholm. Harvey returned home and Fred stayed to work on his Uncle Henry Theriault’s farm. In WWII Fred became a prison guard where the German prisoners taught “Frenchie” to speak English. Fred’s work, whether it be blacksmith, lumberjack, millwright or sawfiler, took him and his family to many locations in Alberta before settling in Prince George, BC. He became a Journeyman Millwright in 1951. Fred was a member of the RCMP auxiliary for 20 years and retired from that when he and Lynn moved to Salmon Arm, BC to enjoy their retirement years with the promise of shorter winters. Fred and his wife Lynn raised a family of 4 boys. Fred loved music, playing violin, and telling stories, many of which were “blueberry stories” grandchildren loved to hear. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus.

The family would like to thank Bastion Place and the staff for the care and attention given to Dad in his last years with us; Rene & Claudette Cote for their many years of friendship and assistance with Dad; and to Jack Bowers for his friendship, continuous support and assistance.

Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at a future date. Flowers gratefully declined; donations may be made to the charity of one’s choice.

This Little Love was found abandoned behind a dumpster in Vancouver. He was less than 2 weeks old with his eyes still shut. He had to be bottle fed and was given lots of TLC while being hidden in a dorm room until he made his way back home to Salmon Arm. This Charming young darling, is now 7 weeks old and is using the potty effectively and eats out of a dish.

He is happy and playful and has the most endearing personality. We would love to keep him but he is not being accepted by our current cat.

Our “Little Love” needs a forever home.

Happy FATHER’S DAY

June 16th

Friday, June 14, 2013 Shuswap Market News

Surprise Dad with the perfect gift!

Without really knowing why, men are often harder to please than women.

So when Father’s Day comes around, many children, sometimes with Mom’s help, won-

der what they can offer that will please the man of the house. Since flowers and chocolates are usually associated with women, and the tie and razor ideas are getting

stale, some reflection is needed in order to find THE perfect gift.

Little ones can get away with offering a nice craft, an artfully crafted card with a big heart.

From our family to yours…

Happy Father’s Day!

For older children, the Super Dad certificate and coupons redeemable for a few services are perfectly suitable. But when the passion for crafts and the pride in helping out start to wane, we have to find something else to offer.

Perhaps you should ask yourself, how well do you know your father?

If you do, then try to respond to his passions (cooking,

astronomy…) and his pleasures (coffee, perfume…); try to remember any needs or wishes he may have expressed lately (replacing a tool, buying a sports item…); or try to complete a set he already owns (books or CDs by a particular author or perfor mer…).

Don’t hesitate to surprise him with a rare object you carefully searched for, or take the lead in helping him real-

ize an oftenexpressed but never-realized wish (for example, music lessons).

If you can’t figure out your father, why not opt to share an activity with him: a cultural outing, a sporting event, a meal at a restaurant… It would be an opportunity for sharing and for getting closer that may be more appreciated than many uncertain or boring purchases.

Come take a “Walk in the Park” and take care of Dad like he always takes care of you!

Looking to get Dad that perfect gift? Start by making a list of his passions and pleasures.

Find the perfect gift

AN UNFORGETTABLE GOLF EXPERIENCE!

It’s time to celebrate all things Dad! Show him how much he’s appreciated this Father’s Day with a gift from the Salmon Arm Golf Shop, or a round of golf!

“Don’t play baseball with the Salami!”

Who in their right mind would ever have to say something like that except a father?

I used to think I was tough. Then I had kids. As soon as I realized that I had responsibility for a tiny little life, I knew I had not been tough at all. Fathers are the toughest guys on the planet.

Who else but a father can deal with a poop filled diaper and not bat an eye?

Who else but a father can carry out a semi-normal routine while covered in baby throw-up?

Show me a biker who will willingly do that. I don’t care how many leathers and chains he sports, if he’s not a father, he doesn’t know the meaning of tough.

And the day that you have to discipline your little angel for the first time? You have to

have the hardest heart in the world the day you are forced to ground your child. You feel like the meanest prison warden who ever lived.

Being a father also teaches you new skills that you never thought you’d learn. Like how to

open a car door while holding two takeout meals, two coats, a bag of diapers and a baby.

You learn the unique sound of Cheerios being crunched underfoot.

And sleep? You quickly learn how little sleep the

human body actually needs and still function.

You also learn just how bright the moon is at three o’clock in the morning.

Most importantly, as a father you learn how much you can love another human being.
