Sparring match

n Nash Rutherford and Alex Rozek spar under the watchful eye of referee Chris Row during a match in the Green to Blue Belt division at the Shuswap Open Martial Arts Tournament held Saturday at the SASCU Downtown Activity Centre.

Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo continues to hold a seat on Sicamous council, but not for much longer.

Kyllo says he intends to resign his councillor’s seat within the next week.

“I’m going to be far too busy with provincial matters to resume my duties as a councillor for Sicamous,” he said. “I can not give my fair attention to both, so I will be stepping down.”

Last week, Sicamous council made a decision against extending Kyllo’s leave of absence until Jan. 1, 2014, a move which put the next step back in Kyllo’s court.

It would be perfectly legal for him to continue to do both jobs, however, Kyllo’s announcement that he will resign will prompt a municipal byelection.

Kyllo took a leave of absence from April 18 to May 15 to conduct his successful run in the provincial election. He said his decision to request the extended leave was to potentially provide Sicamous council with an option to save the costs of a byelection.

“Clearly with the results of the vote, council is giving me direction that they want to see a byelection and now this has given me instructions as to their position, I can give my resignation.”

Ironically, council’s vote on a motion to support the request was defeated as a result of a tie, with Mayor Darrell Trouton and Couns. Terry Rysz and Don Richardson in favour, and Couns.

Council considers cost savings, deadlocks Continued from front Fred Busch, Charlotte Hutchinson and Joan Thomson opposed.

A memo from district administrator Heidi Frank listed the pros and cons of approving Kyllo’s request. On the plus side, it would have saved the district the $10,000 cost of a byelection (allowing the funds to be used on other projects) and save municipal staff and council both time and resources.

Trouton later added that with the councillor’s remuneration not being paid to Kyllo, the district would stand to save $24,000 total.

Deputy manager of corporate services Mary Geall noted that if the district holds another byelection, it will have had three elections in four years.

Countering the cost savings, Frank stated a byelection would be expected by the public and there are already at least four citizens who have expressed interest in running. As well, the district would only have six council members for over an 18-month period until the next general election in November 2014. This increased the potential for deadlock votes.

Busch, Hutchinson and Thomson were all uncomfortable with Kyllo’s request. For Richardson and Rysz, the opportunity to save the district money ap-

peared to help sway their decisions.

Thomson said that if Kyllo were to resign, it’s unlikely the district would be able to

Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton hold the byelection until September, saving some of his remuneration. She noted council already budgeted to hold the byelection this year.

Trouton said he would be happy whichever way council voted.

“Of course we would love to have seven (councillors), and it makes it a lot nicer and cleaner process. I think the community would like us to have seven,” said Trouton.

“There’s going to be some controversy over it. On the other hand, we’re sitting here trying to find $2,000 to fix the ball fields, and here we are saying we’ll save $24,000 if we get through this. It’s a tough one on both sides and I’m happy with whatever you guys are happy with.”

After the deadlocked vote that defeated the motion, Trouton com-

Orica application prompts petition

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MOTHER NATURE’S LATEST OFFERS. AND OURS. 2013

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Neighbours of a Tappen plant that manufactures detonation cord have made very clear they don’t want the company to burn their explosive waste out in the open.

An Orica Canada Inc. request to amend the maximum rate of discharge of air emissions from the open burning of waste explosives and other explosive-contaminated materials from 1,000 kilograms per month to 6,000, sparked action in 161 area residents, who signed a petition.

Delivered to plant superintendent Junior Perry on June 6, the petition charges the company with finding a healthy solution to disposing of the “contaminated explosives waste.”

Perry says his company looked for solution without success before and is, yet again, researching alternatives to open burning.

“Our response will likely come back that there aren’t any decent solutions,” he says. “We want to be able to sustain current operations and to do that, we need to be able to burn more.”

Emilie Aeyelts, who became alarmed when she read an environmental protection notice in the May 15 issue of the Salmon Arm Observer, started the petition and says she will continue to acquire signatures.

Included with the petition was a photocopy of a statement taken from Orica’s website that states the company’s intention to “progressively clean up legacy issues that have resulted from past manufacturing practices.” Aeyelts says the Orica’s website also makes a statement that their responsible corporate practices will enhance the community.

“We expect (Orica) will be able to live up to your own directives.”

She says the environment has deteriorated in the past 13 years and burning waste in open pits is no longer acceptable.

Aeyelts notified several levels of government of the petition, including Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo and North Okanagan Shuswap MP Colin Mayes and Interior Health about the petition.

“We are looking forward to a meaningful reaction from you regarding this petition and it’s contents very soon,” she said in a letter to Perry.

Perry says the company is only operating at about 52 to 54 per cent capacity and is hopeful it can expand to maximize use of the facility.

Medieval battle breaks out

By Kristina Jarvis contributor

Hear ye, hear ye! The middle ages are coming to Salmon Arm. The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), a medieval recreation group, will be holding its annual Avacal/Tir Righ War at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds from June 21 to 23.

“We are extremely excited to be coming to Salmon Arm this year. We are looking for a new home for this war and are hoping we have found it in Salmon Arm,” said co-organizer Mark Unger.

The annual Avacal/ Tir Righ War is a fictional war between two provinces, or principalities, within the Kingdom of An Tir, which is British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Washington State, Oregon and the northern tip of Idaho.

The SCA started in 1966 when some friends who loved history got together for a big outdoor party and sword tournament in Berkeley, California.

The group soon expanded to about 60,000

n Two fighters face off during a battle at last year’s annual Avacal/Tir Righ War. Members of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) will meet in battle at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds today through Sunday. participants with chapters across North America, Australia, South Africa and Korea.

Each side will field a group of fighters in various combat styles, with the goal of gaining as many points as possible to win the war. All the fighters are expected to meet the SCA’s fighting rules and are not allowed to fight until they pass a safety test.

Marshalls are also present to make sure things run smoothly and to assist the fighters where needed.

Although the event is billed as a war, Unger stated the event is more

of a chance for friends to get together and have fun.

“We all get along with each other. There are no hard feelings once the battles are done. We get together at the end of the day and enjoy each other’s company and we share stories about our adventures. The war is a just a convenient excuse to get together with our friends and enjoy ourselves.”

There will be a selection of other activities to see, and for those who are not into the combat, classes will be held on the different arts and

sciences practised in the medieval period.

Artisans will also get together and work on a number of projects.

Each person in the SCA creates a person who could have existed in Europe before 1600.

People will dress, accessorize and learn skills from the middle ages to help enhance their experience.

The site opens at 2 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m.

Saturday. Court will be held at 7 p.m. The site opens at noon (or earlier) on Sunday and closes at 5 p.m. Admission is $15 for the weekend.

Conservatives have time on their side

The federal Conservative government is in serious trouble, but it has one thing on its side — time.

The scandal over Senate expenses, and most crucially, over the prime minister’s chief of staff writing a $90,000 cheque to embarrassed Senator Mike Duffy, has shaken the Stephen Harper government deeply. There are more questions than answers, and investigations and resignations have not reduced the clamour for more detail.

However, there are other issues that are causing trouble for the government. One that may not seem major at the moment is the resignation of MP Brent Rathgeber from the Conservative caucus, to sit as an independent.

In Rathgeber’s case, his private member’s bill was allowed to stand, but it was so fundamentally altered that it bore no resemblance to what he had proposed.

For Rathgeber, who has a maverick streak, it was too much. He left the party, while emphasizing that he still respects Harper and is quite likely to vote with the Conservatives on many issues.

Rathgeber could be the tiny pebble who begins a landslide, or his stance may go unremarked and unnoticed by the public and other MPs. A lot will depend on how other issues unfold.

However, the Conservatives do have a few things going for them. The House of Commons is set to adjourn for the summer, and most people will completely tune out federal politics.

In addition, the two major opposition party leaders, Thomas Mulcair and Justin Trudeau, are unlikely to cause much damage to the government when Parliament is not sitting. They have no effective soapbox to stand on.

The biggest thing in the government’s favour is the fact that an election isn’t scheduled until October, 2015.

OpiniOn

Another successful fishing derby The 17th Annual Salmon Arm Kids’ Fishing Derby, which is hosted by Salmon Arm Recreation, took place this past Sunday morning, June 16 down at the end of the wharf at Marine Park under sunny skies and ideal conditions. It was also, to say the least, a huge success.

The derby is held each year in conjunction with the Province’s Family Fishing Weekend program and has become a popular event in the Shuswap for kids, parents and people who just want to come down and watch all the activity.

As in past years, it did not take very long for the first fish to be caught – except this year there were two fish caught, hooked and landed at exactly the same time at opposite ends of the docks.

A tie was declared and both Jayda Koppel and Logan Merry received First Fish honours along with a plaque and a fishing outfit.

Throughout the course of the morning, Cadence Tulak made a total of five trips to the weigh-in station

The GreAT OuTdOOrs James Murray to secure first place in the Most Fish category. She received the Westside Stores Most Fish Trophy, as well as a rod-and-reel outfit and a $100 gift certificate from Westside.

Nicole Andrews place second in the Most Fish category and Marissa Materi placed third. Both received rod-and-reel outfits and gift certificates. All three received plaques as well.

Charel Venter won in the Largest Fish category and will have his name inscribed on the William J. Murray Memorial Trophy. He also received a glass “keeper” trophy, a rod-and- reel outfit, a $200 SASCU Credit Union scholarship and will

be taking his whole family on an all-expenses-paid trip to a fishing lodge. Nicholas Barbosa placed second in the Largest Fish category and received a rod-and-reel outfit as well as a $100 Rotary scholarship.

Riley Beleck placed third and received a rod and reel outfit and the CUPE scholarship. Both also received plaques.

Lanaya Edmondson and Shirtina Holman won in the Hidden Weight category sponsored by Canadian Tire and both received brand new mountain bikes and helmets.

Aly Vann received a special Girls In Outdoor Sports Award, sponsored by Sheena Haines, co-owner of Westside Stores, and received a $100 gift certificate from the store. Vann, who is 20 years old now and lives in Kelowna, is a former winner in two separate categories at the derby. She spent the morning showing young anglers (and often their parents) how to rig their rods and bait their hooks as well as showing

them where to fish and how to cast.

As one of the organizers of the Kids’ Fishing Derby, it makes me feel good to see young adults like Aly Vann, and all the other former participants who give back by coming back to volunteer and help out with the derby.

They’re not only mentors for the younger kids, they are pretty darned good role models.

This year, 238 young anglers registered for the derby with 62 kids catching a total of 125 coarse fish.

Close to $5,000 in scholarships and prizes were handed out. Events like the Kids’ Fishing Derby could never take place without a lot of work by many volunteers, so I tip my hat and say thank you to everyone who helped out.

Salmon Arm Recreation program co-ordinator Donna Flatmann and I are already planning for next year’s derby. I guess when it comes right down to it, I’m not sure who it is that gets the most excited about the derby – me or the kids.

Chase youth deserve a skateboard park Who would have thought establishing a skateboard park for the youth of Chase would be such an ordeal?

Since 1995, two prolonged attempts have failed – but the dedicated committee has carried on.

Now it’s 2013, and funds have been raised to draft the blueprints, but still at issue is informing, educating and obtaining the support of our community. If we value our seniors and other groups that have their own facilities, why not value our youth, too?

Growing up in Edmonton, winters were long, cold and invariably dark. I lived in a neighbourhood with a ball park (more

of a large empty lot) that my dad would flood so the community kids could skate. One grey afternoon walking home from school, I passed the lot, normally covered with bumpy ice and shovelled snow. But there, in place of the makeshift rink, was a skating rink with boards and streetlights so we could skate in the winter’s darkness.

I didn’t care who financed or built it, I was just happy it was there. Hours were spent at that rink. I realize now, there had to have been some committee working with municipal government to build it, much like Chase’s skatepark committee.

There are many kids who sim-

ilarly don’t care how the skatepark gets built, only that it does.

Let it be a symbol of not only what we think of today’s generation but how we valued our own childhoods. Think about those places that you enjoyed, that still resonate with advancing age.

In the upcoming months, the committee will continue to address the public. If the proposed site is in your neighborhood, relax and support it. Perhaps one day you’ll walk by it and take satisfaction that we have some happy and active kids, and the park worked out well.

Conservatives committed to senate reform

From the hill Colin Mayes When our Conservative government was elected in 2006, one of the pillars of our party’s platform was Senate reform. Once elected, we attempted to start that process.

We brought forward a bill that would limit the terms for senators to eight years. As we were a minority government, the Liberals and NDP voted this bill down, not once, but seven times.

When Canadians gave our party a majority mandate in 2011,

we began the Senate reform process again, but this time, we not only wanted to set term limits, we also wanted to look at an elected Senate, and possibly, abolishing the Senate. These actions, however, may have violated the Constitution of Canada, so the questions of Senate reform were referred to the Supreme Court of Canada for legal and constitutional advice.

In the time that it has taken to do this, seven years now, the prime minister has had to replace senators that retired. Appointments were made to ensure our legislative Senate reform agenda could go forward through the Senate and the appointed Conservative senators were clearly advised that we were going to reform the terms of their jobs.

Currently, there has been much ado regarding Senate expenses, as has been in the past.

I recall Reform MPs, years ago, dressing up in Mexican costumes and dancing outside the Senate chambers in a protest against a Liberal senator, who lived in Mexico and who returned to Canada for the mandatory five days a month, to ensure his pay cheque would continue to flow into his account. Look, Senate reform has been an issue since 1926. Our government is going to make the changes for Canadians ASAP. The current issue of inappropriate expenses, claimed by a few members of the Senate, will be addressed by the independent commissioner of the House of Commons’ Conflict of Interest and Ethics and

by the Senate’s ethics officer. These two bodies are independent and report to Parliament.

Our government is the government that put in place the Federal Accountability Act. This Act allows the auditor general (AG) to follow all taxpayer money and ensure accountability and transparency. Never before could an AG audit Crown corporations, First Nations’ bands, MPs and senators. It is good that we have uncovered the abuse; it means the new oversight is working.

Finally, it you want to see your MP’s expenses, you can go to my website at www. colinmayes.ca, where my expenses are posted. I had a 25 per cent surplus and, once again, our office had the lowest budget of all B.C. MPs.

Move to music of Headwater Headwater is heading from Vancouver and into the Shuswap to entertain the crowds on Canada Day. The band’s roots and folk sound paired with a little pop twist makes for unique and eclectic sets that will get audience members up on their feet and into their dancing groove.

Members of the fourman band play guitars, mandolins, banjos, steel guitars, bass and drums.

Headwater came together in the early 2000s when two of the band members decided to leave their rock- androll roots behind and expand to a more acoustic sound.

Two years later, the final two members

teamed up and Headwater was born.

The group’s website proclaims the band’s goal of getting people on the floor dancing and singing along with their music.

While their latest album, Push, is a little different than the sound most fans have come to know and appreciate, band members had fun creating it and hope people will enjoy it as much as they do.

This album, says the band, is much more pop-focused with the folk infused as a background sound that still gives it a little kick from the ordinary.

Headwater has been touring Canada and the European circuit,

Supporting seniors in their homes 50

people got married,

to much of the Shuswap area. Rossi says there will always be opportunity for new input and growth within the program. There will be a mix of paid and volunteer workers from local non-profit organizations.

“It’s really about people helping people,” Rossi said.

Seniors in Salmon Arm will soon have several more resources.

United Way’s Better At Home program aims to help seniors live at home for as long as possible and should be running by January 2014.

Local co-ordinator Sue Rossi and has spent several months researching the need for the program in the Shuswap. Better at Home is a $20-million province-wide project funded by the provincial government and managed by the United Way of the Lower Mainland. Rossi’s presentation earlier this month included field co-ordinator Debbie Sharp who said Better at Home is aiming to have funding for the Salmon Arm program

by October.

“The way this rolls out is up to you,” Sharp told the 30 seniors in attendance. “It looks different in each community.”

The Better at Home program provides nonmedical services such as yard work, home repairs, transportation, snow shovelling, housekeeping and grocery shopping. Sharp says it fills a gap that normally causes seniors to move into care homes or to cities where there are more resources. The program is available for

n Salmon Arm seniors hear from Linda Yule, executive director of United Way, during the Better at Home presentation at the Downtown Activity Centre. anyone who self-identifies as a senior and fees operate in a sliding scale based on selfdeclared income, with some being free.

“The structure is absolutely wonderful.” said 81-year-old AnneMarie Maide, who attended Rossi’s presentation. “We have many seniors that could help with Better at Home but also receive. It’s a wonderful program.

If we can get it off the ground it will be fantastic and leave us to enjoy a lot of years in our own homes.”

Rossi has been involved in community engagement to assess the need in Salmon Arm and how the program will operate in the community. Her research included focus groups with more than 160 people including Canoe Seniors, Retired Steel Workers and Interior Health. She also conducted interviews

with non-profit agencies, service organizations, health organizations and municipal, provincial and federal government representatives.

Rossi found the services most needed locally were transportation, house cleaning, seasonal yard services and friendly visits. She also said seniors are afraid of being taken advantage of and need a reliable program where they can get information as well as services.

Rossi said many seniors are unlikely to seek help.

“We need to normalize the fact that it’s okay to ask for help,” Rossi said.

Because Salmon Arm’s program will be one of 68 across B.C., Rossi says she hopes it will be a good resource for seniors and something they trust.

The geographical boundaries of the program have not been determined but it’s possible it will be available

At Orica Canada’s Tappen site, the safe and secure production and storage of materials for our mining customers is critically important. As a market leader, we are proud of our best practice industry approach in reducing the risks of day-to-day operations. It is equally as important for us to be a good neighbor to the surrounding Tappen community and work to address citizen’s concerns.

Orica is the world’s largest provider of commercial explosives and blasting systems to the mining and infrastructure markets, and a leader in technical expertise for the field. Our Tappen site has been in operation and safely producing detonation cord for the last 43 years.

Due to the trace amounts of explosives in materials packaging, we are required by Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) – Explosives Regulatory Division (ERD) to burn our cardboard boxes – as opposed to recycling them for future use. This is based on the “Guidelines for the Disposal of Industry Explosives” published in April, 2009. The burning is regulated and strictly controlled with minimization of risk to the public.

You could HELP us get a new playground!

On June 21st, 2013 Salmon Arm will donate $1.00 for every burger sold that day.

All funds raised will be donated to the Parents Advisory Committee of North Canoe Elementary to assist in their efforts to raise funds for a new playground.

Please help us with your A&W Burger purchase on June 21st!

We have submitted an application to the Ministry of Environment asking for an increase to the Tappen site burn quantities from the current level of 1,000 kilograms of waste per month to 6,000 kilograms per month. This is in order to facilitate our current rate of production and accommodate potential future increases to production output. The vast majority of this waste is cardboard boxes and wooden pallets. Although we are asking for an increase, the resulting emissions will still fall far below established guidelines.

Our neighbors have expressed some concern about the application, and we are currently compiling information to help clarify why it is necessary to burn on site. Our current process is considered by Orica and industry regulators to be the best and safest method of disposal.

Orica is committed to the secure and reliable operations of our sites, and we want to remain an excellent employer and community partner for many years to come.

Shuswap Market News Friday, June 21, 2013

ShuSwap paSSiOn Jim Cooperman Often, some of the most interesting history stories are the footnotes, the obscure tales about the disreputable characters, the disputes, the failed schemes and the development pipe dreams.

One of these vignettes was the very early proposal to build a canal to provide a transportation link between the Okanagan and the Thompson region through the Shuswap.

After the explorers, the fur traders and the gold seekers came the surveyors, who were scouting out the region for arable lands, timber, potential mines and transportation corridors. In 1974, a railway engineer named Marcus Smith was surveying the Okanagan Valley and noted in his report that the north end of the valley was only 18 miles long and that it was possible to make the journey north to the Spallumcheen River (now called the Shuswap River) using a canoe through the existing series of swamps and ponds. He noted that a canal could be built at a low cost to connect the two waterways.

As settlers began to move to the Okanagan, the major transportation link from the Coast was

the sternwheelers that moved freight to Fortune’s Landing, where it had to be loaded onto wagons and hauled to the head of Okanagan Lake. From there, goods were loaded onto boats for the final haul to Okanagan Landing.

The proposed canal was seen as the solution to improve the movement of goods and people and as the route went through fine agricultural land it would quickly become settled and productive.

In April 1882, the Inland Sentinel newspaper published an article about the proposed canal suggesting that the federal government look after the canal’s construction.

The major advocates for the canal were Preston Bennett, a Spallumcheen farmer and the local member of the provincial government, his partner Moses Lumby and Thomas Wolfe, rancher and business associate of Cornelius O’Keefe. Later in 1882, the Dominion Government minister of Railways and Canals, Sir Charles Tupper, instructed L.B. Hamlin to leave his work overseeing the construction of the CPR to survey the proposed canal route.

Hamlin’s report was less than optimistic about the proposal, as he determined that four or five locks would be needed along with considerable excavation work with the estimated cost being $27,000 per mile.

When Joseph Trutch, then Dominion Government agent in Victo-

ria forwarded the report to Tupper, he commented that the estimate was too low.

The following year, the provincial government sent another report to Ottawa urging that work on the canal begin immediately, but the House of Commons did nothing as they felt the costs were too high for this early stage of development in the west.

As construction of the CPR progressed, a plan to build a spur line to the Okanagan from Sicamous was

“The proposed canal was seen as the solution... as the route went through fine agricultural land it would quickly become settled and productive. hatched and not long after the last spike was driven in, the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway Company was incorporated. Survey work commenced in 1890 and within a year the tracks were laid and the first passenger train reached Vernon in October.

Despite the plans for the railway, there remained one strong advocate for the canal.

in Okanagan Lake.

When he unsuccessfully attempted to get government support for the canal, he tried to interest private financiers and made an application for a charter to dig the canal as a ditch between Fortune Creek and Deep Creek.

We are fortunate to this day that the canal was never built, as not only would it have been difficult to operate especially during the winter due to the ice, but it would have caused major ecological damage to the watershed.

With so much water exiting the system, our lakes would have become dangerously low in the fall and winter, with the Little River and the Sicamous Channel nearly dry.

The canal was not the only proposal to divert water from the Shuswap to the Okanagan.

In 1967, then premier W.A.C. Bennett announced a plan to use a $6-million agricultural fund to construct a dam and a diversion channel to use Shuswap water to clean up Okanagan Lake. Opposition to the plan grew quickly, led by the Shuswap-Thompson River Research and Development Association (STRRADA) with its thousands of members.

By 1972, the proposal was dead, as the opposition grew to include local governments and chambers of commerce.

SLIPP opts to move ahead

By Barb Brouwer

markeT news sTaff

SLIPP may not be sliding away, after all.

Environmentalists were concerned the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) would disappear beneath the waves of criticism and contention at the end of this final year of a three-year pilot project.

Concerns were heightened with the recent release of a draft water-quality report that reveals the lake is deteriorating – particularly in Salmon Arm Bay. At a SLIPP steering committee meeting held June 10 in Sicamous, members agreed in principle to recommend the Thompson-Nicola, Columbia Shuswap and North Okanagan regional districts continue to work together on water-quality and safety issues in the Shuswap watershed in 2014 and beyond.

The project has faced criticism on several fronts over the past two years. Chief among them has been realizing concrete value for the dollars partners contributed, as well as who has anted up the bigger share.

The committee’s recommendation is subject to the completion of a new governance model and detailed discussions on cost-sharing, funding approvals and a comprehensive work plan.

“I am really happy to see an agreement in principle to move SLIPP, in some form, down the road,” says Paul Demenok,

CSRD South Shuswap director and newly appointed steering committee chair. “We were unanimous in support of the program in terms of both waterquality monitoring and remediation.”

“I believe the water-quality monitoring program, when completed, will give everyone a very good picture of the conditions and the sources of pollution into the lake,” he said, noting the information will form the basis of future plans and initiatives to remediate and improve water quality. “There have been detrimental changes to the water quality in Salmon Arm (Bay) due to a variety of factors.”

Demenok says data indicates agricultural effluent both from surface run-off and the Salmon River, the sewage treatment plant, the depth of the bay and lack of water circulation are factors.

“I think the people of Salmon Arm should be concerned for the long-term quality of Salmon Arm Bay,” he says.

Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper agrees that, as part of the CSRD, the city will continue to be involved in the SLIPP process.

As to funding expectations, Cooper says she spoke to a member of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, who advised her grants might be available.

“There will probably be a tax implication to everyone in the CSRD, so I will be bringing all

Shuswap Branch

the information to council,” she says, pointing out some councillors have been opposed to funding SLIPP in the past. “I think it’s best that regional districts are running the program because the issue involves the entire watershed.”

Cooper says that while Salmon Arm’s drinking water is good, she, like many people is aware the bay is a problem, but seeing the scientific data to prove it is crucial.

“I think we have to look after our water, so I’m glad to see we’ll be moving ahead,” she says, noting data on the Salmon Arm Bay was collected in 2011.

“Where is 2012? Here we are halfway through 2013 and we don’t have it.”

Demenok meanwhile encourages residents to attend educational open houses that will be held in August.

“It’s our drinking water reservoir and a fundamental pillar of economic well-being.”

While saluting the committee for continuing to support SLIPP, Shuswap Water Action Team (SWAT) president Ray Nadeau says the Okanagan Basin Water Board has made tremendous improvements in its 40-year history.

“I believe it’s an appropriate time for SLIPP to be remodelled into a permanently funded Shuswap Watershed Board,” he says. “Previous surveys clearly showed the majority of the watershed public would be supportive.”

Smart sugar substitutes for diabetics

M

onitoring glucose levels in the blood to ensure they are at an acceptable level is a vital task in a diabetic’s life.

Unstable levels can mean the difference between living a healthy life or illness and even death.

Eating a healthy diet, staying hydrated with plenty of water and possibly using medication or insulin injections are a few of the ways to maintain one’s glucose levels.

When a diabetic eats, the sugar in his or her food is digested into glucose.

Sugar is normally used by cells for energy. Insulin is a hormone that is secreted by the pancreas and helps to regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats while removing excess glucose from the blood, which could prove toxic.

Individuals who have no insulin production (type 1 diabetes) and those whose insulin is inefficient at moving sugar out of the bloodstream (type 2 diabetes) may have to take insulin and regulate their sugar intake to keep the body in balance.

Although having diabetes means a lifelong regimen of watching what you eat, it does not mean you can’t enjoy your diet. Thanks to a wide variety of sugar substitutes, most diabetics can indulge in desserts and

other foods in moderation.

* Aspartame: This sweetener also has zero calories and is found in many foods and beverages.

However, aspartame is best avoided when baking because it loses sweetness when heated.

CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP ME?

We are often asked: “What’s the best way of finding out whether a Dr. of Chiropractic can help my problem?”

We believe the answer can be found in a complete consultation and examination.

* Sucralose: This sweetener, which often goes by the brand name Splenda(R), is one of the more popular supplements. The body does not recognize sucralose as a carbohydrate or a sugar, which means it will not be metabolized as such.

Sucralose is heat-resistant, which means it can be used for cooking and baking.

* Saccharine: Saccharine is also safe, but diabetics must only consume it in small amounts. It also can be mixed with hot or cold food.

To advertise here call one of our sales reps

Dr. Darren McNaughton, B.Sc., D.C.

For those ready to satisfy their sweet tooth, here are some sweeteners that are approved by the American Diabetes Association.

* Stevia: Relatively new to the commercial market, stevia is an allnatural sweetener, unlike many of the other sugar substitutes. It comes from a South American plant of the same name and has a strong track record of safety. The sweetener has zero calories and no glycemic index.

My son Cole developed colic when he was 2 weeks old. He would be really hard to wind; he would get stomach spasms and would cry when he was being fed. When the colic was at its worst he would only sleep for 15 minutes at a time and he would not sleep on his back and seemed only to get relief when he was being held upright.

We took Cole to see Dr. McNaughton when he was 7 weeks old.

After one treatment it didn’t seem to make any difference, but after the second adjustment the difference was amazing! He would feed well; he winded easily and could sleep on his back with no problem.

The treatment was unique because the colic was actually being treated. All the other “treatments” we tried were over the counter remedies that were supposed to ease the symptoms not to stop/ prevent colic. I must admit I was very sceptical about taking Cole to the chiropractor as I couldn’t see how it would work and the fact that he was only 7 weeks old, but now, after all the treatments I would, and have, recommended it to anyone who’s child has colic. ~Mrs. Campbell

Sugar substitutes mean that diabetics can occasionally indulge in sweet treats. * Acesulfame potassium: A little goes a long way with this product because it is much sweeter than sugar. It is also usually combined with other sweeteners because it can have a bitter aftertaste.

Not all sugar substitutes are good for diabetics, however. The Mayo Clinic warns that sugar alcohols, particularly mannitol, sorbitol and xylitol, can in-

crease blood sugar levels.

These products also may cause stomach discomfort and diarrhea.

Before trying sugar substitutes, diabetics should consult with their physicians to see if it is safe and discuss potential side effects or usage restrictions, as some artificial sweeteners can cause allergic reactions in some people.

Paddlers need to stay out of foreshore

Local environmentalists are asking paddlers to stay out of the marshland in Salmon Arm Bay. Kenneth Stengler and Sarah Weaver have a front-row view of the marshland from their home.

“Kenneth and I have observed numerous kayaks and canoes ignoring the white buoys on the lake which demarcate the area for boaters to stay clear of,” said Weaver, noting the couple has spoken to some of the paddlers. “Some are very appreciative of the information and did not see the sign at the boat launch.”

Ed McDonald, naturalist and member of SABNES (Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society) agrees there has been increased activity in the invaluable bird-rearing area of the bay.

“The signs have become so tattered you can’t read them,” he says, noting new signs are being made and will be placed at the boat launch. “We get new people coming here all the time, visitors and new residents and they’re not aware this is a marshland.

Plans are underway to replace signs at the wharf, advising owners of paddle wheels, canoes and kayaks of the boundaries.

Paddlers need to stay beyond the string of white buoys, which McDonald figures are about 400 feet from the shoreline of the marsh.

“If they get into the marsh itself, they’re really disturbing a lot of wildlife,” he says.

“Right now it’s grebes, earlier it was water fowl.”

McDonald also cautions paddlers to stay away from the mouth of the Salmon River, where some grebes have chosen to build their nests.

Support local business to help your community thrive

ne of the strongest trends among consumers today is shopping locally. For both goods and services, local small businesses offer an alternative to buying from large chains or conglomerates.

“Shopping locally is an easy way for consumers to do their part to keep the neighbourhood economy strong,” says James Savage, executive vice president for Western Financial Group. “It also offers the advantage of face-to-face interaction with an individual who is in touch with the same community.

For example, when you work with an insurance broker who lives and works near you, that person is more likely to understand your specific needs. You can be confident in the solutions he or she recommends.”

In addition, when you shop locally, you help: Build strong communities.

Small businesses bring neighbours together to network, do business and rally

Non-stop golf for ALS

By Kevin Mitchell black press

They played golf from sunrise to sundown and raised more than $1,000 for ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease).

Longtime friends Jesse Crowe and Myles Johnson spent 16 hours and 20 minutes on Canoe Creek Golf Course on June 11. They teed off at 4:50 a.m. and got in 10 full rounds.

For the record, Johnson finished at 6-under 714 and Crowe fashioned a 1-over 721.

Their ringer board scores were impressive as the only holes they didn’t at least birdie were the first and 10th.

“I have one blister on my toe and my back hurts,” chuckled Crowe, the head pro at the Salmon Arm club.

“I was actually going to play with one arm because I hurt my right wrist throwing (his five-year-old son) DJ around, but it felt OK.” The duo accepted pledges for the PGA of B.C. Golf A Thon for ALS fundraiser, now in its eighth year.

The association collected $148,000 last year and has brought in $750,000 since inception.

“I came out unscathed,” laughed Johnson, assistant pro at Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club. “I have never played that many rounds in one day. I remember being a kid playing three rounds out at Spall a few times when I had lots of energy. It was a good day and all for a great cause. I didn’t realize so many people are affected by ALS.” Both players carded a couple of eagles with Crowe just missing a hole-in-one on the par4 13th.

“I almost holed it, but I also almost killed a member who I didn’t see,” said Crowe. “The ball just hopped over the cup.”

Their quickest 18 holes was 83 minutes, coming in round No. 8.

Their longest was one hour and 41 minutes as they played through a few groups in round six. They rode in a power cart.

Support equipment for ALS sufferers averages $137,000 per patient. Nursing home or home-care costs are 10 times more.

ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease

in which nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed.

Life expectancy for anybody diagnosed is two to five years. The disease can strike at any age.

Coroner rules on semi crash MArKet neWS StAff

Speed, under-inflated tires and the use of a cell phone while driving were factors in the death of an Ontario semi-truck driver on the Trans-Canada Highway near Cruikshank Point in 2011.

The BC Coroner’s report found that Milan Obradovic, 44, died on June 30, 2011 of traumatic head injury after flipping his

truck in an S-curve section of the highway.

The report notes that Obradovic received a text message the minute before the crash, and deemed that a likely contributing factor.

An RCMP collision reconstructionist also found that the truck was travelling at a speed of 101 km/h in the section of highway, which is officially posted at 80 km/h, but has a speed advisory to warn drivers to slow to

60 km/h for the curve.

Mechanical inspection of the vehicle found three under-inflated tires.

“This may have resulted in the vehicle leaning in the direction of the lower inflated tires while negotiating a curve,” states the report.

There were no alcohol or drugs in Obradovic’s system at the time of the crash.

The coroner’s report makes no recommendations in the wake of the death.

However, the Ministry of Transportation indicates there will be improvements made

Thank You!

As Chase 2013 Grad students, we would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who participated during our fundraising efforts throughout the year. We had a great time working together on the following events:

to the advisory speed signs in the area.

We would also like to show our appreciation for all the time our teachers, school administration and secretaries, parents and siblings volunteered on our behalf to help make this a very successful year.

We are truly proud to be a part of such a generous and caring community and hope the experiences and relationships we have made here in Chase continue to grow.

Our journeys will take us in different directions, but we will always share a connection to our home town.

n Meme G’s has officially opened their doors in Chase and they celebrated their grand opening by hosting a Show and Shine last Sunday. Many gathered outside the diner to view the classic cars which parked alongside the restaurant and throughout the field in back. It was the perfect way to kick of the day, with Meme G’s supplying a delicious meal to those who worked up an appetite while viewing the old-style rides.

Used truck purchase OK’d The Chase Fire Department has pitched a request for new trucks to the Village of Chase council.

On April 30, the council agreed to allow the allocation of $40,000 to the Chase Fire Department to purchase a new cube van that could be used as an on-scene command vehicle.

During this time it was also agreed that a new chief vehicle could be purchased for no more than $37,400.

After a brief demonstration by members of the fire department and upon reviewing a mechanic’s report of the station’s unit 3 vehicle, it was also discussed that a new vehicle was needed and would likely cost about $150,000.

The fire department has come forward once more, this time proposing to purchase a fire chief vehicle for just $30,000 and potentially buying a used F-550 to be used as a rescue truck and reoutfit the existing road rescue truck to be used as the on-scene command vehicle (unit 3).

The F-550 would be modified for the purposes needed by Road Rescue.

Council had discussed trying to access gas tax funding for the cost of the vehicle.

Shuswap Gardens will also be promoted online and in social media.

n Chase Fire Department has listed its vehicle needs to village council.

There was discussion earlier this summer that the village might be able to obtain funding from the Thompson Nicola Regional District for such purchases.

While this is still a likely option, this money is not expected to be seen for some time.

The village agreed to allow the purchase of a used F-550 truck with the intention of modification to be used as the new road rescue vehicle. It also agreed to use the current rescue truck as an on-scene fire command vehicle

Summer recreation program set to go The Chase Summer Recreation Program is back and they have a summer packed with activities planned.

The day camp runs from Monday to Friday with drop-off between 8 and 9 a.m. and pick-up between 3 and 4 p.m.

Parents can pick out their favourite themed days to send their child or enroll them for the entire summer. Whatever you choose, be sure to do it soon as spaces fill up fast.

Some of this summer’s day themes are Town Heros, where children will tour the local fire station, visit the police station, and meet the men and women who help keep us safe.

Kids who attend Mystery Madness will work together to find clues and solve a mystery, while those who dream of being pirates can search for hidden jewels along the beach during Pirates of The Shuswap day.

The camp begins July 2 with Art in The Park, followed by Gratitude Day July 3.

Those attending Gratitude day can do so by donation, with all funds raised going to Ronald McDonald House.

Most other days cost $15 with a select few costing $20 for the added supplies needed.

Parents are asked to ensure that children are prepared for camp by labelling all belongings, and sending a nutritious lunch with two drinks, bathing suit, towel and hat. Children will often visit the local wading pool to cool down on hot days.

Those who wish to register their children can do so at the Chase Community Hall between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday to Friday. For more information on the camp, call 250-319-6302.

We will miss her smile and the way her eyes would light at the sight of her grandchildren and great granddaughters. She was a strong minded woman and would always say what was on her mind.

This summer she would have been celebrating her 62 wedding anniversary with the love of her life Jim. Mom raised two children and instilled in them strong family values, respect for others and to be strong.

Mom loved to cook and we will miss all the great family gatherings. She loved to play bingo and to go fishing. We would often seeing mom out in the boat trying to catch the big one. Her grandson Jason is still trying to catch the big one. Nicole and Mom had a bond like no other. There was not a day went by that they did not talk to each other. They will always have her in there hearts.

Norbert Lazarus, Your German Painter - Master’s business owner, is not a regular painter like many others. Norbert started as an apprentice in 1973 in Germany, and after three years, he went to a special painter school where he got his Master’s Degree in Painting. He has worked in countries like SaudiArabia and Egypt as painter supervisor, and since 2007 he has worked for big companies where he has been responsible for very exclusive buildings.

Now, Norbert has his own company, which started last year and has moved to the Shuswap area. With more than 35 years as a painter, you can expect very fast, precise, and truly professional work; Norbert does every kind of painting and he also is an expert in professional wallpaper hanging. You can contact him at 778-220-2776 or email him at: norbertlazarus@ gmail.com
