E. coli warning shocks Gort’s farm

By Barb Brouwer & Martha Wickett

market News staff

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has published a list of Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm products implicated in an outbreak of E. coli.

Interior Health and the BC Centre For Disease Control issued a public alert to avoid consuming cheese from Gort’s Tuesday afternoon.

One person has died and 10 others

have become ill in B.C. and Alberta, all who have tested positive for the same strain of E-coli. All are known to have consumed cheese from Gort’s.

The person who died and two of those who are ill reside in the Interior Health Authority.

“Three are IH residents and one of the three is the person who died,” said Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer for Interior Health. “The IH

resident who died had consumed Gort’s cheese and had a lab-confirmed case of E. coli 0157:H7, and that particular bacteria was a ‘fingerprint match’ (with the other cases).”

Parker said health officials are still trying to determine how much the E. coli contributed to the death.

The cause of death is still under investigation.

All other cases have recovered or are recovering, said the Public

Health Agency of Canada Wednesday.

When the onset of illnesses occurred in July, it was a cause for concern but, as an isolated case, did not ring alarm bells. The province gets a number of E. coli cases throughout the year and, while they try to identify the source, people are sometimes unable to pinpoint the cause of the See Farm on page 2

Farm awaits investigation results Continued from front illness.

It takes anywhere from two to four weeks from the time a person gets ill to get the bacteria fingerprinting done and matched.

In terms of the outbreak linked to Gort’s, health officials saw a cluster of cases implicating Gort’s cheese only late last week, said Parker.

Owners of Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm remain devastated and exhausted after learning Friday that their farm is suspected of producing tainted cheese.

Kathy Wikkerink, who runs the popular farm with her spouse Gary Wikkerink, said their aim has always been to provide people with healthy food.

“Generally with grass-fed beef or grassfed dairy, the chance with E. coli is minimal.

What we do, we want people to be healthy. It has kind of back-fired on us. Why we do what we do is for health.”

She said having their small dairy means milk doesn’t have to be shipped across the province, like so much is.

“We have a huge following of people who insist that it’s raw.

We’ve been basically going by that demand.”

It is the farm’s rawmilk cheese that is suspected of containing the E. coli strain that has been isolated in 10 people who became ill as well as one person who died.

“We apologize to the public that this has happened. We are not taking this lightly,” Wikkerink said, noting she

feels badly for the family who has lost their loved one. She adds, however, that as far as she has been told, it has not been determined that the cheese was responsible for the death.

Wikkerink says she and her husband have no idea where the issue is with the cheese.

“CFIA (The Canadian Food Inspection Agency) is playing it safe. They know there is a raw milk issue, they told us. Even our twoyear old cheese, they made us pull that. They just don’t want any more illnesses.”

She said CFIA inspectors arrived at their farm Friday night.

“We were totally unaware there was an issue… They spent all day Saturday with us trying to get to the bottom of it; they told us already it could be a challenge to find the source,” she says. “We have just finished our busiest season of the year. Most of the cheese has been consumed.

Eleven people have gotten sick, 10,000 have eaten it.”

She says the farm has had no sick staff, no sick family members and no reports from their customers.

“We’re suspecting it’s one cheese or one day of packaging. We suspect it’s small.”

When the CFIA finishes its investigation, the Wikkerinks will begin making pasteurized cheeses, which she says would take only about a month to get to market.

Still, Gort’s have products to sell currently. Wikkerink said they have three goudas that are pasteurized: light, smoked habanero and mild that are

safe to consume, as is their feta. They also sell products such as import cheese, yogurt, grassfed beef and eggs, as well as products from other sources such as coffee, honey, mustards and pottery.

Wikkerink says she’s hopeful that the farm will hear the results of the investigation by the end of this week.

“Products and swabs are being tested… I don’t want to hear that news. I do but I don’t.

But we’ll need to find out.”

She estimates that the raw-milk cheeses, which will be destroyed, make up at least 50 per cent of their products.

Wikkerink tearfully expresses her gratitude to the community.

“We just want to thank our loyal customers for their support and thank the community for their support. Not just now, but always being there – blessing us so we can bless them in return. So we can be a community together.”

Police arrest suspect in several thefts

A man wanted in B.C. and on the East Coast was picked up Sunday in Salmon Arm. On Sept. 15, at approximately 9:15 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a complaint that a phone had been stolen from a locked vehicle on Shuswap Street. Investigating officers found that someone had smashed the driver’s side window to access the vehicle.

While on scene, police received several other calls indicating that a male had been seen checking other vehicles.

Police patrolled and were able to locate a suspect matching the thief’s description a short distance away.

The suspect, a 34-year-old man, was found in possession of stolen property and drugs on scene, was arrested and held in custody for court.

The man was also found to be wanted on an outstanding warrant for arrest in B.C. and numerous non-returnable warrants from Atlantic Canada.

Police say they believe the suspect is responsible for several other thefts and break and enters in the area .

Area C completes official community plan

Regional district: Provincial nod needed, director fears OCP will be imposed on other areas.

By Barb Brouwer

marKeT NeWs sTaff

After seven years, 15 meetings and several public hearings, South Shuswap has an official community plan – if Victoria adds its stamp of approval.

Back in the planning seat to finish the often contentious project he embarked on in 2006, Columbia Shuswap Regional District Parks and Recreation manager Marcin Pachcinski drew praise and laughs from the board at its regular meeting on Sept. 12.

“I wasn’t sure if I was gonna live long enough, but I have,” he said with a grin. “I am happy to be here to recommend third reading.”

After a raucous meeting last year, Pachcinski says about 71 members of the public showed up for a third public meeting this August, engaging in healthy debate.

“Now it goes to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural

Development for their approval,” he says. “Assuming they approve it, they’ll send it back and we can bring it back to the board for final adoption of the bylaw.”

While several directors praised Pachcinski for his hard work and commitment, Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan expressed concerns.

“I wish to go on record as saying I am not happy with what I can see of the Area ‘C’ OCP,” he said, pointing out that while he did not wish to meddle in the affairs of another electoral area, he was deeply concerned by the nature, tone and direction of the document.

One of his concerns is that in the preamble, the OCP is described as being one of the CSRD’s most important documents, something Morgan fears will influence OCPs in other electoral areas.

“Not only will it influence other area OCPs, it is itself, heavily influenced by its many references

to SLIPP-like material,” he said a document on his phone. “There of the Shuswap Lake Integrated is even a section on recreational Planning Process he has opposed. boating, which appears to have “There is even specific mention been lifted directly from the of making an effort to work with SLIPP Recreational Management SLIPP, even though a continua- Plan.” tion of SLIPP, at least Area C South in its current form, is Shuswap director still a matter of proPaul Demenok was cess.” quick to respond, Morgan expressed advising the South fear the “over-bearShuswap OCP reing, if not outright flects the will of the suffocating” OCP residents. document would be“I didn’t realize an come the basis for OCP is contagious a master plan that and, if it’s part of a would be setting pol- Paul Demonok conspiracy, I haven’t icy and direction for seen evidence of the entire Shuswap. that,” he said. “I “The underlying theme of the think staff have done a great job OCP would suggest that it dis- stick-handling over the years.

– the cornerstone of our regional Praising Pachcinsky for his economy,” he said, reading from work and patience, Area E Rural

Sicamous director Rhona Martin observed that each electoral area can have more than one OCP. “Each plan area can have their say,” she added.

“I have seen Marcin handle himself at some very difficult meetings and I am grateful for that. If people don’t want regulations, you put a bit of sweet on it, so thank you.”

Area D Falkland-Silver CreekRanchero director René Talbot teased Pachcinski, saying it took 11 years to get one in his area.

“People need to realize an OCP is a guiding tool to say how you want to see your community grow, and built into that is that it can be reviewed every five years.”

While he may have to write the memo that accompanies the provincial decision on the Area C OCP, probably in two to four months, Pachcinski can now finally let go of planning and give his full attention to matters of parks and recreation.

Taking your business to the next level As a business owner you’re probably looking forward to seeing your business grow over time. With an effective growth strategy, you can successfully plan for growth or be prepared when it takes you by surprise.

“Whether you are in the first few years of operation or have been running a business for some time, growing your business can be exciting but also challenging,” says Kim Ulmer, vice-president, Small Business, RBC. “It’ important to look at your business situation as objectively as possible. Being aware of the challenges that lie ahead will help you prepare for them and keep you focused on your long-term growth goals.”

When managing for growth, Ulmer offers some additional advice to avoid strain on your staff and finances: • Plan for it –The growth you expect for your business should be part of your overall business plan. If you see your business dominating the market a year from now, develop a strategy that accounts for the demands of output necessary to maintain that position. Your strategy should include your staff, facilities, and suppliers.

• Don’t overpromise – While it may seem like bad business practice to turn down an order,

accepting contracts that you don’t have the capacity to fulfill can result in substandard service and unhappy customers. If you don’t have the capacity to fulfill currently, let your clients know of your growth plans and interest in doing business with them in the future.

• Manage “bursts” with temporary resources –If you expect a temporary surge in your business, look into temporary contractors who can help you manage staff, suppliers, and/ or facilities. Review their credentials and establish relationships now, while you have time, and keep their

information on file for when the rush comes.

• Arrange credit before you need it – Increased capacity may necessitate increased financial flexibility. It’s important to regularly review your current and future growth strategy with your financial advisor to ensure you have the credit you need, before you need it.

• Think about doing credit checks on all new clients – Getting paid on time is always important, and late payments can become more problematic during periods of growth.

Consider asking for deposits on large orders.

Giving your clients the

option to pay by credit or debit card is another way of ensuring you’re paid immediately. .

• Focus on what you do best – Don’t let expansion distract you from your areas of expertise and specialization. Consider outsourcing new services unless you are sure you have the capacity to incorporate them into your core offerings.

• Take it slow – Give yourself time to put together the resources you need in order to meet your goals. Add resources and build your staff in stages. Review your growth plan regularly and objectively to make sure your goals are reasonable.

Leave Hydro to run as corporation

Leaked documents indicate that BC Hydro is planning a 26 per cent rate increase over the next two years.

While the BC Liberal government says the rate hike will not be that high, this is at least the third time in the past year that there has been indications of a massive rate increase in the works.

There are several concerns about this, whether the 26 per cent increase comes to fruition or not.

It’s no secret that Hydro has to come up with billions of dollars to continue to upgrade the electrical utility system it operates. The infrastructure, some of which goes back to the 1960s or earlier, needs attention. Hydro also wants to build the Site C dam on the Peace River, which would cost billions in itself.

At the same time, Hydro has been handicapped by the BC Liberal government in two very important areas. First, it has been required to make massive dividend payments to the province, its only shareholder. These have been used to keep the provincial budget from dipping deeper into the red. While there may be some justification for the province occasionally taking a dividend from Hydro, the size and regularity of its demands are unprecedented.

The other handicap Hydro has is that it has been forced to buy run-of-river power from small contractors at rates far in excess of what it costs to produce its own power. Thus Hydro ratepayers are subsidizing private power developers.

The provincial government needs to stop interfering in Hydro’s business, and let it run the electric utility in the efficient manner which has generally been the case since its formation in 1961.

OpiniOn

selected reads for rainy days Fall is upon us and that means the fishing should be getting pretty good.

Having said that, it will probably rain each and every day that I am able to get away, just like it did last year for the whole week that I was up at the lake. Should that happen, however, I will be prepared. I have selected a number of good books about fishing to take with me, just in case I don’t actually get a chance to cast a line myself.

Fly Fishing BC’s Interior: A Fly Fisher’s Guide to the Central Interior and North Cariboo is perhaps the definitive fly fisher’s guide to B.C.’s Central Interior.

Freelance outdoor writer and photographer Brian Smith writes about the allure of B.C.’s wild rainbow trout that attracts fly fishers from all over the world. He describes in extraordinary detail the fabled Blackwater, Stellako and Crooked rivers, as well as the still waters of the Dragon, Hobson, Hart and Wicheeda, all renowned trophy lakes that produce rainbow trout weighing up to six kilograms. In this comprehensive guide,

THe GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray Smith shares his award-winning fly tying patterns, his favourite fly techniques and his extensive knowledge of the species, geography, history and fishing lore of the Central Interior and North Cariboo waters. The book is an all-inclusive guide for both novice and advanced anglers who want to explore B.C.’s Interior Plateau.

The Gilly - A Flyfisher’s Guide, which came out back in 1985 was co-authored by 12 of the best angling authorities in the province and focuses mostly on fishing B.C.’s Interior lakes. It is probably the best all-round source of information there is on fishing both lakes and streams. As with a lot of fly fishing books, the first few chapters focus on the basics

of fly fishing – basic gear and fly casting – as well as where on a lake to fish and what flies to use. Rods, reels, lines, leaders and knots are all also covered in detail, as well as lake ecology and entomology which are discussed in a straightforward manner and language that even a novice angler can understand. Subsequent chapters focus on specific food sources, insect life cycles, imitation fly patterns and fly pattern presentation.

Fly Fishing British Columbia, edited by Karl Brun, is another fishing anthology written by a who’s who of B.C. angling and outdoor writers. The book covers just about any question one might have when it comes to angling, and contains tons of intricately detailed drawings which depict exactly what happens when fish are feeding and moving about in their underwater environment. Other drawings feature more than 80 top-producing fly patterns, plus tying recipes and expert advice on how and where to fish them.

Roderick L. Haig-Brown has always been one of my

favourite angling authors.

He was a fly fisherman, a magistrate, radio broadcaster, university chancellor and conservationist who lived in Campbell River. He was also a prolific writer. The Seasons of a Fisherman is a marvellous collection of his four classic “seasons” books: Fisherman’s Spring (1951), Fisherman’s Winter (1954), Fisherman’s Summer (1959) and Fisherman’s Fall (1964) all compiled together for the first time in one single volume.

While all these books are full of information about fishing and the trappings that go along with the sport of fly-fishing, they are, in large part, also about communing with nature and breathing in the peace and tranquility that comes with standing and casting a line on the banks of a river, or sitting out in a boat somewhere watching the world go by – which pretty well sums up my whole approach to fishing.

So, whether I’m on the water catching fish or relaxing by a warm fire, it won’t really matter, because, like I said, this year I’m prepared.

Moving with the music Blue Canoe Café and Bakery owner Al Boucher wants to ramp up the downtown music scene.

So, he and Shuswap Pie Company owner Mary Jo Beirnes are going about the business of bringing it in themselves.

“We feel it’s easier for us to operate in tandem and generate more of a buzz,” says Boucher, noting an initial music crawl will take place Friday, Sept. 27.

“The music scene is great here, but it’s not as vibrant as it could be with the wonderful talented musicians we have.”

Boucher says the Pie Company stepped out first, hosting pre-Jazz Club music every Thursday evening.

“They spearheaded that so we’re trying to build on it,” he says. “There are so many good groups and we want to give them more opportunities to showcase their talents.”

The crawl will begin at the Pie Company at 5:30 p.m. when the licensed eatery will play host to Shushmanoush – a gypsy jazz group comprised of Willy Gaw, Bill Lockie, Richard Owens and Neil Fraser.

“We are really excited to team up with another great local business,” said Beirnes. “I am really excited about anything fun happening downtown, and especially anything that supports local, live music.”

The crawl, which will move on at 7 p.m. has no cover and is in addition to the Pie Company’s regular Thursday night music events that feature a variety of artists from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Then it’s along Hudson Avenue to the Blue Canoe, where the idea for Boucher’s latest venture grew out of his successful participation in this summer’s Routes and Blues program, in which Jake Verburg,

SilverBacks Hockey

Steph Clifford and Sam Masterton packed the café playing as the Sons of Bitumen.

“We started talking about another show but they’re moving to Victoria in October, so we’re billing this as their last concert here,” says Boucher. “And Sasha Lewis moved back to Salmon Arm and has been studying hard, so this is her debut.”

Boucher says he is excited about the event and will acquire a special liquor licence for the evening. He will also feature two special fall items available only that night, along with the regular menu.

Cost for the evening is a $10 cover charge plus cost of dinner which, as always, will feature locally produced organic food.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the music begins at 7:30.

Boucher is hopeful a similar crawl will take place every couple of months.

Popular Sorrento musician dies MArKet neWS StAff

Tributes are being posted on social media bluegrass sites following the death Sunday of popular Sorrento musician Gene Bretecher.

“The whole bluegrass community across Canada has been shaken by the news of Gene’s sudden death,” says local musician Kelly Hopkins.

“He was an exceptional musician, and man, and everybody is posting pictures and tributes to him across the country,” Bretecher was fishing on Shuswap Lake some 30 metres from shore when he fell out of his boat just before 1 p.m.

Sept. 15.

Bretecher’s wife, Linda, saw her husband fall into the water and

called for help.

A retired RCMP officer and former dive team member was on the scene in minutes and assisted in pulling the 74-year-old Bretecher from the water.

CPR was performed, and Emergency Health Services arrived on scene a short time later.

But efforts to resuscitate Bretecher were unsuccessful.

Chase RCMP report Bretecher was not wearing a life-jacket at the time of the accident.

A coroner’s investigation into the accident is was underway earlier in the week.

A talented and popular bluegrass musician, Bretecher’s death has touched many.

“I toured with him in a band for quite a number of years, in Cana-

dian Whitewater, and he was just one of my favourite people in the world,” says bluegrass musician Chris Stevens, who shared fun travel adventures across the globe. “He was a consummate professional, a wonderful banjo player and flat-picking guitar player.”

Bretecher taught many courses at Sorrento Centre every summer for more than a decade and at a variety of old-time fiddle camps.

“It almost sounds so patent to say, but he smiled a lot,” says Stevens. “That was a thing about Gene, that’s what he enjoyed, the camaraderie and the music.”

Musician, Blu Hopkins, describes Bretecher as a gentle man and an inspiration.

n Gene Bretecher is being remembered by many for his happy and caring personality and his abundant musical talent.

“Gene touched so many people. In all the time I knew him and from all the people who played with him, I have never heard a negative comment about him,”

Hopkins said. “He’ll be sorely missed by all of us.”

Details have not been released regarding a possible funeral or celebration of life.

Proposed coffee business goes to public hearing

beans per week, as well as an afterburner.

Karla Ferster, the applicant, told council Sept. 9 that she moved here two years ago from Crescent Beach, and Canoe reminded her of Crescent Beach 20 years ago. She said she’s been operating her coffee company for eight years out of Vancouver, and will maintain the coffee roasting there.

Her plan is to create a community-focused eatery in Canoe, with coffee roasting year round.

She said she has a deep appreciation for the history of Canoe, and would like to have a community wall in the business, celebrating it.

She said she would address any concerns about the coffee roasting quickly, because she lives in the community. Ferster noted that an afterburner eliminates 95 per cent of emissions into the air.

Mayor Nancy Cooper expressed her support for the plan.

“I think we’re all quite excited about your proposal.”

The public will have a chance to weigh in Sept. 23 on a coffee roasting business and restaurant proposed for Canoe.

A public hearing will be held that night at 7 in the North Canoe Hall regarding a rezoning to accommodate the Leaping Frog Coffee Company Ltd. at 4940 Canoe Beach Dr. NE – the former Doc’s Pub location.

The zoning amendment would change the zoning from C1, local commercial, to C16, comprehensive development zone.

A report from the city’s planning department notes that staff reviewed other coffee roasting operations in the province.

“It is apparent that the nature of this land use (e.g.: smoke and odours) is such that creation measures are necessary to mitigate possible impacts to the surrounding properties.”

The measures listed included restrictions on operating hours, a maximum number of coffee

Do you have enough Vitamin D to last the winter?

By Marcia Baile, ND Did you know that 7 out of 10 Canadians do not meet the suggested minimum vitamin D level for optimal health?

September is the perfect month to have your Vitamin D level measured to see if you have enough Vitamin D to last the winter. It is at the end of a lovely sunny summer when your production of Vitamin D was at its peak. From October until roughly April, we cannot produce Vitamin D from the sun even if we are out in it because we are too far north.

The sun’s rays do not have enough “umph” to make the conversion on our skin during the winter. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin which means we store any extra that we make in our fat. If we have enough stored, we don’t need to take supplements over the winter. To really get an idea of what your levels are doing, you should get re-tested in April to see what your stores are at the end of the winter.

That will give you an excellent idea of how much Vitamin D you used up during the winter and if you need to supplement next winter. Remember

that in September your stores are at their peak so you should be at the upper end of the normal range. In April, your stores will be at their lowest, so you can expect to be at the lower end of normal. If you already supplement you can test any time to see if the dosage is sufficient. After changing a dosage, wait 4 to 6 weeks before testing to see the effect of the change.

lost 75% of their ability.

Sunscreens of 15 SPF or higher reduce Vitamin D production by as much as 99% and dark skin colour decreases production. In our bodies, the basic Vitamin D structure is made out of cholesterol and then that is converted in our skin by the sun. Anyone take a

cholesterol lowering drug should be aware that it could also be affecting his Vitamin D production. Since Vitamin D is stored in fat, anyone who has excess body weight may have too much Vitamin D tied up in the extra fat cells. Part of the production of Vitamin D occurs in the kidneys, so

those with kidney disease should have their levels checked.

You can ask your MD for a simple blood test to measure your levels. If he does not think the test is warranted but you are still interested in knowing your levels, many naturopaths can test you for a fee.

Now is the time to have your Vitamin D stores tested to see if you need to supplement over the winter. Did you know that if you are 70, you have lost 75% of your ability to make your own Vitamin D from the sun?

Why do we need sufficient Vitamin D? Low Vitamin D stores have been linked to a poor immune response, some cancers, osteoporosis, depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, muscle pain and weakness, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. A number of my patients have told me that they feel “less blue” when they take Vitamin D during the winter months. Others have told me that they noticed they didn’t get sick as much.

Recycling costs draw fire at UBCM

Convention: Civic leaders spar with head of Multi Material BC.

By Jeff Nagel Black press

B.C. civic leaders on Monday grilled the head of a new industry-led recycling agency over the costs and downsides of the new system set to replace municipally-run blue box pick up next spring.

Vancouver Coun.

Adriane Carr said she’s “gravely concerned” that Multi Material BC’s $110-million annual budget to recover packaging and printed paper province-wide is much lower than the $190 million already spent each year in Metro Vancouver alone on recycling services.

“If there are significant cost reductions, you have to ask what are the service reductions,” said Carr, who warned it would be “backwards” if cities that have built strong recycling programs now see them shrivel under MMBC. She and other municipal delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention pressed MMBC managing director Allen Langdon to increase the prices offered to local cities to act as collectors under the new system.

Langdon said he’s willing to talk to concerned cities but gave no sign of sweetening

the offers already made.

“There’s a limit to what producers can actually sustain,” he said, referring to the firms that are responsible for recovering packaging and paper under new provincial regulations.

Nor would he commit to specific targets for reducing the amount of packaging encasing goods sold in B.C. Langdon said producers will pay their share of the program based on how much packaging they generate, giving them a price signal to reduce their packaging or make it more recyclable.

But Carr said that could still allow producers and retailers to simply pass the extra costs along to consumers through higher prices without actually reducing their environmental footprint.

Many cities refused to sign on by a Monday deadline to act as collectors of recyclables under proposed contracts, either indicating they’ll keep running their own systems without MMBC financial aid or else they’ll leave the job entirely for MMBC to contract out to private collectors.

But MMBC agreed to let cities take more time and join the program after the scheduled May 19 launch date, setting

the stage for more negotiations.

Costs and concern about service levels have been key challenges, said Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, adding his city would have to subsidize MMBC by $100,000 a year, while Vancouver pegs its shortfall at more than $5 million.

He said new contractors could adopt disjointed pick up schedules that don’t mesh well with garbage and organics collection, confusing residents and reducing participation.

Langdon said the new system will be a “significant change” for cities used to controlling recycling service but said many municipalities that sign on will have “most if not all” of their costs covered.

Langdon confirmed, however, that Lower Mainland residents could lose curbside pickup of glass if a new private contractor takes over blue box pickup in

their city. He said new collectors can propose a depot system instead for glass, but that MMBC will have the final say.

MMBC wants to reduce contamination of blue box recyclables by keeping glass separate.

Other materials that will be accepted only at depots include polystyrene foam and polyethylene film.

Nanaimo Regional District director Julian Fell suggested Metro Vancouver’s plan to build a new garbage incinerator will be at odds with MMBC’s plans to collect and recycle paper and packaging, unless it ends up being fuel in the new “waste to smoke” plant.

“Our intent is to recycle material,” Langdon responded. “At this point there’s no plan to use recovery technologies or waste incineration.”

An environment ministry spokesman cautioned that Metro’s waste plan isn’t a “li-

cence to burn garbage” and will be subject to an environmental assessment and other permitting.

MMBC says its recycling program will add 10 new categories of packaging not now accepted in blue boxes.

Regional district board OKs recycling program

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Participation in a new cost-saving recycling program was approved

by Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors – but not without discussion.

The regional district will climb on-board a depot-collection program with Multi-Media British Columbia (MMBC) on Jan. 1, 2015.

In 2012, the Ministry of the Environment amended the Recycling Regulation to include printed paper and packaging in an industryfunded program as opposed to a tax-based system.

As a result of the new program, the non-profit MMBC was formed to develop and implement a stewardship plan for printed paper and packaging (PPP).

MMBC received ministry approval for the plans on April 15 and must begin implementing the program by May 16, 2014 – including collection, processing, education and administration of printed paper and packaging programs.

“The requirement for industry to be responsible for PPP marks the first initiative where a program duplicates a service that the CSRD has taken responsibility for through a taxfunded system,” said CSRD waste management co-ordinator Ben Van Nostrand, pointing out the regional district’s participation in the provincial program will eliminate the need to collect taxes for the program.

CSRD currently provides region-wide collection through a depot program located at landfills or transfer stations.

“MMBC’s financial offer includes coverage of many costs associated with operating a depot collation program, including providing bins for collection of

We also have to be careful to continue to make sure it’s fairly convenient.”

Van Nostrand agreed, noting unmanned recycling stations will need to have set hours, a supervisor on-site during those hours to make sure there is no illegal dumping and be locked up at night.

He also pointed out MMBC will supply the bins to make separation possible.

Help Salmon Arm firefighters fill their boots for Muscular Dystrophy Canada this Saturday.

Firefighters will be shaking their boots to attract donations in this annual fundraiser that runs Sept.

21.

Stop by and drop off your extra change (or more) at Save-On Foods, Canadian Tire or Uptown Askew’s from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is sponsored by the Okanagan Valley Fire Fighters and funds raised are used to provide support for those living with muscular dystrophy – a group of more than 150 types of neuromuscular disorders that are characterized by the wasting and progressive weakness of muscles.

Over time, many people with muscular dystrophy are unable to walk, speak, or ultimately breathe. Some diseases are life-threatening and as yet, there is no cure.

These funds help support research, education, services and equipment.

Salmon Arm firefighter Brandon Payne is again organizing the local event – with help from other firefighters.

“Vernon was doing it before us. We found out about it about three years ago and we jumped on it,” he says. “It has become one of our main fundraisers.”

And now local firefighters are taking their fundraising efforts for Muscular Dystrophy Canada up a notch.

Planning is underway to hold a weekend campout on the roof (probably of Hall #3) in the middle of winter.

They’ll be looking to get people to sponsor them and drop funds off at the campout.

n The new $50,000 addition to Hillcrest Elementary School’s playground was officially opened recently. Playing important roles were Debbie Chapman from the Shuswap Foundation who support the project; Bobbi Johnson from the school board which contributed funds; Tina Cosman, Hillcrest parent who donated substantial funds; Leanne Kujat Hillcrest PAC chair who worked tirelessly to make it happen and former principal Bill Hagardt without whom the project would not have been built. This playground is designed for primary students. It is built on an asphalt base, with rubberized cushioning.

The PAC designed it with three entry and three exit points as well as a large elevated area to hold lots of students.

School district enrolment better than initially predicted Enrolment looks to be a little better than last spring’s projections in the North Okanagan Shuswap School District but still down approximately 200 students from last school year.

“It looks like we’re up a little bit from projections with elementary up around 50 students and secondary up 17,” said Superintendant Glenn Borthistle at the first regular meeting for

the North Okanagan Shuswap Board of Education Tuesday.

He noted these numbers are still very preliminary and the district will have a better idea on the ministry’s enrolment “snapshot” day on Sept.

30.

“But, it looks like we’re sitting at about 5,800 and last year we were right around 6,000 students.”

n Salmon Arm Pee Wee Colts player Samuel Hall tries to get past a whole line of Kelowna tacklers during the Colts 28 to 6 loss to the Kelowna Lions in the first official game of the season played Sunday at the SASCU Little Mountain Sports Field.

do You have a wedding ring?

Colts motivated by loss A negative outcome served as a positive learning experience for the Salmon Arm Pee Wee Colts.

On Sunday, Sept. 15, the Colts wound up on the losing end of a 28-6 decision for the Kelowna Lions.

Head coach Jerrit Lindgren says the game served as a good eye opener for the team, that games aren’t won with a few fast or strong players, that everyone needs to bring everything they can to the field.

“I’m a firm believer that in order to succeed we need to fail first,” says Lindgren.

“I’m not unhappy with the loss that we had against Kelowna,” he said, pointing out the coaches don’t believe players gave 100 per cent of their effort, leaving lots of room

for improvement. “I think that this kind of loss is crucial to building a successful football team.”

After the game, when going over prior practices, all of the players could see what went wrong, says Lindgren.

He said that before every game, coaches ask players to “leave it all on the field.”

“What this means, is you should be putting every shred of effort into every single play.

By the time the game is done you need to feel proud that you gave it your best effort.”

Lindgren says coaches could tell by the look on the players’ faces that they didn’t feel a sense of pride about the game.

“We took the positive out of the situation and discussed as a team the things that we need to

work on for this week of practice.”

From Sunday’s loss, Lindgren says the team went into the following week’s practices fully recharged and motivated to work harder than before.

“In football, every obstacle or loss the team endures only makes us stronger,” adds Lindgren.

The Colts currently consist of 19 players, and Lindgren encourages parents with a son or daughter who might be interested in becoming the next addition to stop by one of the team’s practices, held at the Field of Dreams Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 to 11:30 a.m.

New scooter plan stalls

By Tom Fletcher black press

VANCOUVER – A bid by the town of Sidney to regulate the use of mobility scooters on sidewalks was rejected in a split vote by local politicians Wednesday.

On the advice of the executive, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention voted to drop a request for provincial licensing of sidewalk scooters, and to exclude motorized wheelchairs from any restrictions. But a majority of delegates voted against any kind of regulation.

Sidney Mayor Larry Cross urged support, telling delegates there has been one fatality in his community, and two “serious

rollovers” this past summer as scooters shared sidewalks with pedestrians.

“We’re kind of the canary in the mine in terms of the aging population, and the incidents and conflicts can only grow over time,” Cross said.

Other council members were unimpressed.

“If you have a problem with your sidewalks and people are rolling over, maybe you need to fix the sidewalks,” said Langley Township councillor Bob Long.

“There are motorized bicycles, so is that the next thing, we’re going to license bicycles?”

Sidney councillor Melissa Hailey said the community has “wonderful sidewalks,” but education and some regulation is needed.

“There is no real legislation or any ability to deal with unsafe scootering on our sidewalks,” Hailey said. “Drinking and scootering is very hard to enforce.”

Nelson councillor Robin Cherbo said some solution is needed.

His community has narrow sidewalks and some scooter users take to the roadway, without flags or lights.

Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski was opposed, after talking with scooter and wheelchair users in his community.

Saanich councillor Vic Derman agreed that scooter users and pedestrians need education, but communities should focus on local improvements to give scooter users more safe routes.

Sealed quotes clearly marked “Quote – Compost Pad Construction – Revelstoke Landfill”, will be accepted until 11 AM local time on Thursday, October 3, 2013 at the office of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, 781 Marine Park Drive NE, P.O. Box 978, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4P1.

Quote documents and further information are available online at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District website at www.csrd.bc.ca, on the BC Bid website at www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca, Civic Info website at www.civicinfo.bc.ca and at the office of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District at the above address during regular office hours.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District reserves the right to accept or reject any or all Quotes and to waive any informality in the Quotes received, in each case without giving any notice. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District reserves the right to accept the Quote which it deems most advantageous.

Margo Westaway

you need to be able to extract and multiply the beneficial or aerobic microbes from the organic matter, and avoid the production and introduction of the putrefying, disease-causing anaerobic microbes as well as the plant and human pathogens.

So please do your research to avoid a possible toxic soup if you use them.

So here are a few tearrific teas to try, and cost nothing to make unless you buy an expensive brewer: Soil teas: Soil tea is a little different than compost tea in that one can select and trap a mix of beneficial microorganisms from the best performing soil from a local ecosystem, such as using humus and litter from a healthy garden or forest.

Plant tea: Many plant and herb extracts contain powerful organic or chemical substances, which have been used in the preparation of food,

crobes, but the nutrient value and type of microbes in your compost depends on what you put in it and whether it’s aerobic or anaerobic.

You can either create a fermented compost tea, which is made from immersing compost into a bucket of water for seven to 14 days and stirring occasionally, or use a store-bought or homemade compost tea brewer, using a strong aquarium bubbler that takes about 24 hours to make. They say not to apply compost tea to any veggie garden within three weeks of its planned harvest date.

Tinkle tea: His or her tinkle tea typically contains an NPK ratio similar to a commercial fertilizer, so sprinkle it into the compost or dilute it and use it.

Worm tea: Worm castings are loaded with nutrients and minerals, so if you breed’em, use’em!

Again, there’s never enough space to get into the recipe details, so you’ll have to take it from here. Just remember to avoid microbekilling chlorine by using rain or pond water or an off-gassed bucketful.

These are wonderfully beneficial teas from nature’s pantry and toolbox, so go ahead and sprinkle and spray away.

medicines, pest control, etc. for centuries, as well as benefiting plant growth and contributing to overall soil health.

Extracts are made by soaking healthy plants such as clover, comfrey, horsetail, stinging nettle, yarrow, seaweed, parsley, dandelion, plantain, etc. for three to 10 days, then strained and diluted. (Note: Alfalfa pellets are not recommended, as they are high in salts, which accumulate in your soil.)

Manure tea: Again, not all excrement is created equal, and poop is a processed end product so a lot of the nutrients have already been absorbed. So fresh is always best. If you want to use manures, make sure the critters are not from factory farms or feedlots and that it’s well aerated when you brew so you don’t breed the bad guys.

Compost tea: Compost tea should not be confused with other organic extracts, which are used as fertilizers, bio-stimulants or for pest and disease control. A properly-aerated compost tea is one of the most effective ways to promote health, prevent disease and revitalize dead soils in our gardens.

Wow – what a summer we all had with that big, blazing ball of fire out just about every day, which made it pretty hot to be putzing around in the garden.

It was a crazy busy one for us and my cuppa was pretty full, leaving little time to finish the follow-up to my column on teas for the garden. But here it is at last.

There are lots of brews to concoct and create and most are simple and easy to prepare, taking anywhere from 24 hours to 14 days to brew, depending on your methods and money. Most are totally safe to make, but you could be getting into some murky water when it comes to compost and manure teas and here’s why.

There are three basic kinds of microbes: the aerobics which need oxygen, the fermentative, putrefactive anaerobics that need no oxygen and the facultative anaerobics that can survive in both environments. A pathogen is a plant or animal-feeding predator microbe, such as E. coli and salmonella in humans, and camplyobacter, listeria, and crytosporidium in animals and it’s these nasties that survive in the zero-to-low oxygen environments.

Funding for legal defence an issue Funding for legal defence is an issue being added to the already complicated proceedings centring on a fatal houseboat-speedboat collision on Shuswap Lake in July 2010.

Leon Michael Reinbrecht is charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm following the crash that left an 18-foot Campion Runabout fully embedded inside the houseboat’s cabin.

Killed in the crash was houseboat owner and driver, 53-year-old Kenneth William (Kenny) Brown of Chase. Thirteen people were aboard the houseboat and three people on the speedboat. In addition to Brown, eight people were taken to hospital in Kamloops. All but two were released the next day. The crash occurred about 11:20 p.m. on July 3, 2010, as boats were leaving Magna Bay following the annual Canada Day weekend fireworks display.

At a pre-trial conference Monday, Sept. 9, funds for Reinbrecht’s defence were discussed. In July, the accused had applied for help in funding the trial, but at the Sept. 9 conference the court questioned why he had not filed documents requested regarding his financial standing.

The trial had initially been set to start in September but was adjourned to Jan. 6, 2014. On Sept. 9, the defence requested that the trial be adjourned again, but the judge did not agree.

The charges were laid in December 2011 following a 17-month investigation that involved reams of information. Five weeks have been set aside in BC Supreme Court in Kamloops for the trial.

NIELS NORGAARD It is with a profound sense of loss that we announce the passing of our husband, father and grandfather.

Niels Norgaard of Salmon Arm passed away on September 14, 2013 at the age of 83 years, after a courageous battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS).

He is survived by his loving wife of 56 years Helga, his son Brian (Lana), his daughter Cindy (Gord) along with his two grandchildren Kyle and Justin. He is also survived by many family and friends in Denmark, Calgary and the Shuswap area.

Niels was born in Rodding, Viborg, Denmark on July 23, 1930. He served in the Danish Military for a total of five years where he rose to the rank of tank commander for the Dragon regiment.

Niels immigrated to Canada in 1956 and was soon employed in the construction industry in Calgary. He eventually joined the dairy industry where he worked for 35 years until his retirement.

In 1994 Niels and Helga retired to the Shuswap area where he enjoyed spending time with family and friends, relaxing on the back deck overlooking the lake and pursuing his favourite hobbies which included: gardening, reading, woodworking and bowling.

Special thanks to: Dr Erasmus Bonthuys, O.T. Myra Elamatha, the ALS Society of B.C., Salmon Arm Community Health Care as well as all the nurses and staff at Bastion Place for their care and compassion.

To honour Niels’ wishes, there will be no formal service or Celebration of Life.

SHANE MACKENZIE GORNER February 14, 1994 to August 28, 2013 Shane passed away suddenly on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 in Salmon Arm BC, while working at Dinoflex, at the young age of 19 years.

He was born to Lorne and Brenda Gorner in Smithers, BC, and is the eighth of ten children.

He is survived by his parents- four sisters: Kala (Clint Young) of Saskatoon, Jodi (Kevin Luck) of Chilliwack, Paige of Abbotsford, and Cassidy of Salmon Arm- five brothers: Adam (Allison) of Dawson Creek, Cole (Diane) of Chetwynd, Todd (Serena) of Dawson Creek, Brian who is serving a mission in Seattle Washington, and Jesse of Salmon Arm- nine nieces: Elizabeth, Kira, Hailey, Emily, Jenna, Sophia, Bronwyn, Adelyn, and Abby, and two nephews: Gabriel, and James, and two Grandmothers: Dorothy Gorner of Penticton, and Loraine Wheadon of Summerland.

He spent his first seven years loving the outdoors in Smithers before moving to Mission in 2001, where he attended elementary school, and began his love of music with the bass guitar. He moved with his family to Salmon Arm in 2006 where he graduated from Salmon Arm Secondary School with the class of 2012. He was a very talented and enthusiastic young man who created humour so others would laugh with him. He will be remembered most for his radiant smile and wacky sense of humour. He had roles in several productions with the Shuswap Youth Theatre including, “Sweet Suzie of the Shuswap”, and “Stressmas”. He also had leading roles in several plays put on at the high school, which included “The Insect Comedy”, “Anything Goes”, and finally, “The Detective Story”. Shane loved the Fine Arts, and was perfecting his skills in art, music, and writing as well as in theatre. He has written and composed many songs, poems and stories and had many projects on the go as the ideas he had were endless. He will be sadly missed but leaves many wonderful and happy memories with both family and friends. Shane was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and he was preparing to serve a mission for the church to share the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. His funeral service was held there on Monday, September 2, 2013, with his interment at the Lakeview Cemetery in Penticton, on Tuesday, September 3, 2013. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Andre Carelse at Bowers Funeral Home for his exceptional support and help.

She was born Apr. 20, 1933 to George and Grace Hohn in Dryden, Ontario. She took nursing training after high school and returned to Dryden where she met and married Bill.

They had 2 children, Janis and Jim. Bill’s career took them to South Carolina, back to Dryden, on to Vancouver and then Prince George where they spent from 1966 until 1996 when they moved to Salmon Arm. In 1966 Dell was diagnosed with MS which brought many challenges but did not dampen her humor and enthusiasm for life. With early retirement in 1983 they became snow birds enjoying 21 winters in Arizona. In 2006 Dell moved into a care home where she continued to add her humor and mischief to staff and residents. Dell will be greatly missed by her husband, 2 children and their spouses, 4 grand children and their spouses, 4 great grandchildren, sisters and brother, many nieces and nephews and countless friends.

Celebration of her life will be held at Shuswap Community Church, 3151 6th Ave. NE at 2:00 pm on Saturday September 21.

Donations in memoriam will be accepted to the Baptist Missionary Society of Latin America through the Shuswap Community Church.

Bruce was born in Revelstoke, BC on June 22, 1950 and had been a resident of Halls Landing (Sidmouth) south of Revelstoke, BC for his childhood.

He moved to Salmon Arm in 1972, where he met and married his wife Trudy, in 1977. He was a well-respected business owner of Action Safety Service for 21 years.

He was a hardworking, kind man who was often found working on his property in his backhoe or riding one of his many toys. Morning coffee with his friends was one of the favourite ways to start his day. He was a devoted husband, father and grampa, and his family meant everything to him.

He enjoyed spending time with his friends. He especially enjoyed camping, golfing, quading and just being busy puttering around.

Bruce will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by many, many friends as he touched so many in his life. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Trudy (Garbutt) of Salmon Arm, two children; Jana (Ian) Bridgen of Calgary, AB and Joel (Lindsay) Hall of Salmon Arm, BC, one grandchild; Sophie Bridgen, two brothers and a sister; Don (Cindy) Hall, Bill (Margaret) Hall, Joan Wollbaum.

Memorial donations may be made to the Shuswap Community Foundation, PO Box 624, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N7 for the Heritage park in memory of Bruce.

We would like to thank family and friends for their support and kindness through this difficult time.

Thank you to the Shuswap Lake General Hospital who provided compassion and wonderful care and to Jack and Dave of Bowers Funeral Service for your special touch and caring ways which has helped us more than you will ever know.

PERRY (JOYCE WINNIFRED) McDONALD 1922 - 2013 Perry (Joyce Winnifred) McDonald of Kamloops passed away on September 13, 2013 at 91 years of age. She is survived by her children Judy (John), John (Dawn), Marty (Sharil) and Susan. Grandchildren Charla, Jayna, Dana (Stan), Adri, Kara (Rob) Jeff (Melissa), Ken (D’arci) and Keith, Step grandchildren Jason, Justin and Jake, Great grandchildren Joey, Troy, Jamie, Meghan, Colby, Zachary, Danny, Hailey, Diana, David, Josie and Jinessa and Kash, her sister Velma and her brother John (Helen).

Perry was survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws in England.

She was predeceased by her husband Gordie, son Sam, parents, one sister and one brother.

Perry was born to Jesse and Winnifred Parris on January 7, 1922 in Yeovile, Somerset England.

While serving as a WRN, Perry met Gordie McDonald (RCAF) and the world tilted. Soon they married, and mom followed dad to BC, never forgetting her English family, they settled in Salmon Arm where they raised their five children.

Mom devoted her life to her family rejoining the work force after the kids had left the nest. Their last few years were spent in Vernon where mom became an avid golfer and eventual ladies captain at Spall, a high light her life, and where she made special friends and had fun! Our family will treasure memories of Mac and Cheese (the family secret recipe) holiday dinners, off key carols around mom at the piano. We will miss “the look” which only mom could muster! But we know mom is again with her Gordie, and son and others pain free and peaceful and we hope hoisting a crystal glass with just a “short one” to us all.

A special thanks to all the angles at the Ponderosa Lodge for the Love and Care for Perry and familyyou are all remarkable.

Memorial donations in Perry’s memory may be made to your favorite charity of your choice. No service by request.

Shuswap Market News Friday, September 20, 2013

Successes in school start with healthy food living WELL It’s a fact – children who eat nutritious food do better at school.

Here are a few tips to make healthy eating part of your back-toschool routine.

• Get organized: A little planning goes a long way – make lunches the night before, cut up vegetables for an easy after-school snack or grab something out of the freezer for tomorrow’s dinner.

• Start the day off right: Eating first thing in the morning kick starts the brain and helps children be more alert during the school day. Free up time to eat in the morning by putting the toaster on the counter, pulling out the cereal, and setting the table the night

before. Tired of cereal and toast? Try poached eggs and cheese on a whole wheat English muffin, oatmeal topped with walnuts and strawberries, or a yogurt, granola and fruit parfait.

• Involve kids in lunch: Involve kids when planning, preparing and packing lunches. The more pride your child has in his lunch, the more likely he is to eat it!

Lunches with high protein foods like beans, nuts or meat keep kids full and help them concentrate throughout the afternoon. Include foods from each of the four food groups to provide balance. Here are a couple quick and healthy lunch ideas:

• Wrap it up – grab a whole grain tortilla and any extras from last night’s dinner such as cold chicken or roast beef and your child’s favourite veggies, cheese and hummus or guacamole.

• Dunk a lunch – try pita triangles, carrot, cucumber or red pepper sticks and bean dip. Finish off the meal with cut up fruit and yogurt.

For more lunch ideas and recipes check out: www.interiorhealth.ca/ YourHealth/SchoolHealth/SchoolNutrition • Offer healthy snacks: Children are often hungry when they arrive home from school. Having an after-school snack prepped and ready for your child helps them make a healthy choice and gives you a little time to get dinner on the table. Try offering

fresh fruit or cut-up veggies and dip. Nut butters, whole grain crackers, cubes of cheese and yogurt also make healthy snacks.

Add fresh or frozen fruit to a pitcher of water for a refreshing thirst quenching after school drink.

• Eat together whenever and where ever you can: Preparing, cooking, and eating meals together provides time to connect. Children who eat with their families once a day perform and behave better at school. Meal time is a great time for parents to model healthy food choices and to “check in” with kids. It is also a great time to chat about another exciting school year.

Cindy Bossio is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

seed of the chenopodium ambrosioides, a plant whose leaves resemble geese (“cheno”) feet (“podium”). Requiem is recommended in the fight against soft-bodied insects, particularly aphids, thrips, whitefly, and mites.

CpGV, which is a granulovirus, has been developed to fight the codling moth (cydia pomonella) and its larva, the common apple worm or maggot. This virus has to be ingested by the apple worm in order to be effective. Spread widely in the orchards of the western U.S., the virus was developed in Canada from a mass breeding of millions of codlin moths. Aphids, mites, and other soft-bodied insects can also be repelled by some essential oils with insecticidal properties.

No more worms Worms are very rarely found in apples these days.

Today’s farmer is turning towards organic pesticides to replace the chemical pesticides in eliminating crop-harming insects in fields and orchards.

Agri-Food Canada’s Horticultural Research and Development Centre has been working for more than a century on the effects of insect pests on apple trees, particularly the pea aphid, the onion maggot, the European corn borer, and the plum curculio. Research studies have been oriented towards improving plant resistance to these invaders.

More recently, experts have carried out research on a plant destined to act as an insecticide.

Marketed under the name of Requiem Inc., the most well-known of organic pesticides comes from the

Warmer Soil • Roots grow faster than the top and when the air cools, the top growth slows. Therefore fall is good for establishing a healthier foundation for a plant.

Easier Watering • Typical fall and winter rains help the roots establish even more. Less supplemental watering.
