Diesel spill cleaned up in Malakwa

By Lachlan Labere

market news staff

A Canadian Pacific locomotive was removed from service last Friday after it was found to have leaked 2,000 litres of diesel fuel on a railway siding in Malakwa.

Kevin Hrysak, spokesperson for CP, said immediate steps were taken to clean up the spill, using spill pads and sawdust to contain the fuel to the track area. He said the incident was quickly reported to the Malakwa Volunteer Fire Department and Fire Chief Joanne Held, who visited the scene on behalf of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Fire Services to determine if there was a hazard requiring suppression, as well

as provide an initial assessment for the Ministry of Environment.

“Our initial report was the spill was clear of any danger to ponds or creeks,” said CSRD fire services co-ordinator Kenn Mount. “The site was well looked after and CP Rail staff were attending to the situation appropriately.”

Mount said CP brought in support to capture and contain the spillage, and contractors for the ministry assisted with the removal.

“Communication onsite with CP Rail and CSRD Fire Services was good and all agencies were very co-operative,” said Mount, adding removal and clean-up continues.

Hrysak noted the incident to be a “one-of-akind situation.”

Attempted murder charge laid

By Tracy Hughes

markeT news sTaff

A 31-year-old Salmon Arm man is facing charges of attempted murder after stabbing his co-worker at a self storage facility in the Salmon Arm Industrial Park late last Friday morning.

Jeremy Daniel Webster of Salmon Arm remains in custody after having allegedly stabbed a fellow worker at Super Self Storage. The men were not employed with the storage facility, but were co-workers renting a storage unit.

Webster made a first appearance in court Monday and was to appear again Thursday, March 13, after press deadlines.

An air ambulance was called in last Friday afternoon to the storage facility at 4750 40th Ave. SE to transport a man with stab wounds.

AGM & Leadership Forum Tracy HugHes/markeT news

n RCMP investigate a stabbing Friday at the Super Self Storage facility in the industrial park.

Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane of the Salmon Arm RCMP reports police and ambulance were called to the scene at 11:15 a.m.

A 34-year-old man had been stabbed and because there was no safe site for the helicopter to land at that location, the man was taken by ambulance to the Salmon Arm Airport for transport to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

The man’s injuries were de-

scribed in initial reports as critical, but he is recovering from his injuries.

The male suspect was arrested at the scene.

“Police believe mental health issues are a factor in this incident,” said Keane.

That afternoon, RCMP were on the scene interviewing people in the rear yard of the storage facility and at the BC Hydro building next door.

Head-on collision at Grindrod Four people were spared any major injuries after a head-on collision between a Pontiac Grand Prix and a semi-truck on Monday evening.

The incident took place at 7:55 p.m. when witnesses reported seeing the driver of the Grand Prix miss a sharp turn on Highway 97B near Sure Crop Feeds in Grindrod.

The woman slammed head-on into an oncoming Freightliner truck and both vehicles sustained significant front-end damage.

The 28-year-old woman driver and her two adult male pas-

sengers were examined by paramedics, but did not require transport to hospital.

The driver of the truck, a 42-year-old man from Surrey, was also examined by paramedics but was cleared at the scene.

As members of the North Okanagan RCMP detachment investigated, they believed alcohol may have been a factor in the incident.

The woman was given a roadside screening and immediately afterwards she was issued a 90-day roadside prohibition and her vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

Run off the road A driver travelling east on the TransCanada Highway near Pierre’s Point had a close call on March 5 after being forced off the roadway. A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction attempted to pass a semi unit on snowy roads and was unable to return to the appropriate lane prior to meeting oncoming traffic. There was no injury to the driver of the vehicle who was forced into the ditch.

Police have obtained the licence plate number of the offending driver and will be following up.

City’s emissions decrease

Climate action: Progress made to carbon neutrality.

By Lachlan Labere

market news staff

It’s steady as she goes for the city on the road to carbon neutrality.

As a signatory to the 2008 BC Climate Action Charter and, subsequently, an annual applicant for the province’s Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program grant, the city is required to complete annual interim and final progress reports measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Reviewing the recently completed interim report, development services director Kevin Pearson told council that corporate emissions, particularly those produced under the category of administration and governance, dropped quite a bit in 2013 from 2012.

“There’s six areas where those are measured from: administration and governance; drinking, storm and waste water; solid

waste collection; transportation; roads and traffic operation; arts and recreation; parks and cultural services; and fire protection,” said Pearson. “The biggest drops in emissions were in administration and governance – they fell from 72 tonnes of CO2 to 43 tonnes.”

Fire protection also saw a notable decrease, from 105 to 94 tonnes.

In total, the city’s GHG output dropped from 1,994 in 2012 tonnes to 1,850 tonnes in 2013.

Pearson explained this leaves the city two options: to achieve carbon neutrality the city can purchase 1,850 tonnnes worth of carbon offsets (ranging from $16 to $25 a tonne) from the province, or state in the final report that the city is “making progress towards carbon neutrality.” Pearson said the latter involves things such as “building sidewalks and adhering to our OCP polices for

compact and sustainable communities and improving our transit system…”

While the City of Salmon Arm appears to be moving towards the overall community goal of a six per cent reduction in GHG emissions by 2020,

Coun. Alan Harrison how the rest of the city is faring is currently an unknown. Pearson said the province had been doing the “non-corporate inventory,” but the most recent data dates back to 2010. This lack of information is reflected in the city’s interim report.

“If we’re supposed to reduce it by six per

cent, we need to know what the number is,” commented Coun.

Alan Harrison, who concurred with Coun.

Denise Reimer that the city appears to be on target for 2020.

Harrison was critical of the whole provincial process around carbon neutrality, and likened it to a game of snakes and ladders.

“One of the ladders was, you can sign on if you want, but if you don’t, you don’t get any grants. I remember that. Now there’s a few snakes appearing,” said Harrison.

“But basically, our choice is pay between $30,000 and $36,000, or say that we’re making progress towards carbon neutrality… so that seems like a pretty easy question to me.

Because I have some doubts about how this whole thing is going to end up. So I would say that the recommendation of staff is the right one, that we’ll hang on to our money for now.”

Renewed group offers connections New life is being breathed into an old group.

Tentatively named The New Shuswap Network, the group is for those in the 20 to 40 age group who would like to connect with other people and ideas.

“There’s nothing in town for this demographic,” says city councillor and mortgage broker Chad Eliason, who

Chad Eliason notes the group will feature speakers at various venues around town.

“There is no commitment but many opportunities beyond networking to engage, volunteer or even start some activities.”

Unlike Rotary, where members are expected to show up at every meeting and participate in service and fundraising activities, the network allows participants to come and go as they wish.

Eliason says if the group’s help is request-

ed by another organization, members will be invited to participate in that particular event.

As well as inviting speakers who cover a broad range of timely topics, Eliason says members from all walks of life and interests are invited to join.

While it’s definitely not a dating service, he says one offshoot of the group could be organizing outings by a variety of people for a variety of pursuits, including sport or cultural options, among others.

The inaugural meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 25 at the Shuswap Pie Company.

At 7, local Bitcoin entrepreneur Mark Kohlen will take centre stage with a 20-minute talk, followed by a 10-minute questionand-answer session. At 7:30 p.m., Peter North, the new artistic director of the Roots and Blues Festival, will take over in the same format.

Admission is a minimum $2 donation, which will be directed to a good cause, and beer and wine will be available for purchase.

For more information, visit The New Shuswap Network on Facebook or call Eliason at 250-804-9874.

Province enables gambling issues Admitted problem gambler Joyce Ross said her lawsuit against the BC Lottery Corporation was not about recouping her own losses, but exposing flaws in BCLC’s voluntary-exclusion gamblers program to protect others in future. But with all due deference, it’s hard to see the North Delta woman’s recent lawsuit, in which she alleged she lost $78,000 at Surrey’s Fraser Downs and Langley’s Cascades casinos between 2007 and 2010 – in spite of having signed herself into the voluntary exclusion program – as more than another gamble that failed to pay off.

It is churlish to want to crow at another’s misfortune. Gambling has been identified as an addiction, and those unwilling to walk in the shoes of addicts of all kinds, or at least attempt to understand their problems, show a want of empathy. However, B.C. Supreme Court Justice John Truscott – in finding the casinos were not negligent – was right to conclude that gamblers, like Ross, who volunteer for self–exclusion and then try to cheat the system by avoiding detection, should not be given special treatment.

He said it was Ross’ primary responsibility to stay out of the casinos. In a practical sense, as he pointed out, to award her money because she was in the self-exclusion program would only encourage other gamblers to join the program to make similar claims. Rather than suing BCLC, Ross’ best hope of changing the system would be to run for provincial office on an anti-gambling platform.

Then she would participate in a forum directly with the unseen partner in all problem gambling scenarios, and the biggest problem gambler in B.C. Principal enabler and beneficiary of problem gambling, liquor and tobacco consumption among the people of B.C. is the provincial government – and it seems unable, to kick the habit.

OpiniOn

Casting away to a glimmer of hope

How many times have I stood, knee-deep in the fast flowing waters of a river somewhere, casting my twohanded spey rod to salmon swimming through the runs and riffles. I have spent many an hour casting away to little more than shadows, to little more than a glimmer of hope.

And when it came my time, my turn, to set the hook and tie into all the power and fury of what felt like a runaway locomotive. All I know for sure is that when I had a fish on, time stood still.

Over the years I lost as many, if not more, battles than I ever won. But I must say that I also enjoyed each and every moment of each and every fight. But things change.

The streams got more crowded – sometimes a dozen or more anglers, in far too close a proximity to each other, stood along a river bank – more often than not, without so much as a single strike among them.

In spite of what all the politicians, Department of Fisheries and Oceans scientists, commercial fishermen,

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray First Nations and sport fishing anglers had to say, each season it became more and more evident that the salmon runs were in serious trouble – very serious trouble.

Everything from climate change and global warming to pollution, overfishing and poaching were affecting the salmon runs and neither the politicians, the DFO, First Nations or the sport fishery seemed to have the will or inclination to do much about the situation other than put ever more pressure on the declining fish stocks.

Something needed to be done. So a study was undertaken – The Cohen Report. Questions were asked and recommendations were made. Although I’m not re-

ally too sure what, if any of, the recommendations were ever implemented.

So I stopped salmon fishing. I simply could no longer cast my line to salmon that were already under too much pressure. Not until I knew for sure that the salmon would return in numbers large enough to absolutely guarantee that there would always be salmon enough returning to the spawning grounds.

It has been close to 10 years now since I have cast a line to salmon anywhere.

However, if all the early indications are correct, this year’s Fraser River salmon run is projected to be the largest in recent history.

Department of Fisheries and Oceans acting area director for the Interior, Les Jantz, says that “while it is still too early to say with any certainty how many sockeye will return, (DFO) scientists are forecasting as high as 72.5 million – more than twice the number in 2010 when an estimated 30 million returned.”

DFO says this is due in part because the sockeye

coming back this year are the progeny of the 2010 run.

Early in 2010, DFO scientists predicted that anywhere from four million to 29 million sockeye would return.

As the season progressed, they quickly realized that the high end would be reached.

The DFO is confident that a similar scenario could unfold this year as they are able to get more data in from sports anglers and commercial fishermen during early openings.

Jantz says “even at this early date, there is reason for excitement, because ocean conditions have been very good for salmon for the past three years, and a record number of young sockeye migrated out of the Fraser in the spring of 2012. Those fish would have encountered prime conditions, with upwellings of cold water that salmon prefer and are rich with the zooplankton and phytoplankton blooms young fish eat.”

Who knows, maybe some day I will get to cast a line once again to sockeye salmon swimming in some of my favourite streams.

Action needed on cell tower issue ally-regulated area, but they have been given a voice – by us the citizens -- to speak up and to take a stand on our behalf.

In the face of a multitude of studies and much documented research showing the extreme dangers of pulsed microwave radiation, council continues to excuse its compliance with the wireless industry by quoting Health Canada and Safety Code 6.

With regard to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emissions, Safety Code 6 is so far behind other responsible standards in the

world that it would be laughable if it didn’t allow for so much suffering and ongoing injury to so many.

“...It is so much wiser (not smarter) and much less costly to speak up and say no now than to try to remove cellular towers and infrastructure later.”

Last updated sometime in the ’70s, it was not meant to address pulsed microwave frequencies. The tech-

nologies in question were restricted to military applications – they were not in use by the public at large.

Our civic leaders must be encouraged to think outside the fog of industry’s big box. Applying the precautionary principle would ameliorate not only the staggering list of serious health issues strongly correlated to EMR exposure near cell antennae, but also the social problems related to public safety, security, and privacy.

We need our leaders to be proactive on this issue. It is so much wiser (not Smarter)

Column about trees goes off base

I read the Gaia Gardening article, “Tapping into how trees adapt to the cold,” with interest, but also with disgust.

There was certainly worthwhile, solid information given on how trees cope with cold weather. However, unfortunately, the writer quoted and supported an animated video, a fictitious, propaganda story, which stated that tropical trees have evolved over 250 million years (a nice round figure to plant in one’s mind) to become cold climate trees.

This presumes and preaches that very advanced plant life has been around for hundreds of millions of years. It further conjectures that sophisticated

tropical trees gradually adapted to harsher, colder climates. Why? The tropical species is already adapted to its environment, and needs the warm climate. According to this bizarre scenario, it took millions of years to learn how to make biological anti-freeze.

Pity those poor trees that didn’t have any anti-freeze when an Arctic outbreak hit.

Apparently smarter trees (a bigger brain?), drought-resistant ones, solved this dilemma accidentally somehow?

But poor lettuce and spinach are not as smart or lucky, and cannot survive cold weather.

I hadn’t realized that trees were so smart or adaptable. They will have to figure out some

way to thwart a chainsaw. I guess the saying, “as dumb as a stump,” is wrong.

Anyway, this whole evolutionary mindset, of it taking millions of years to slowly develop advanced life forms, is ridiculous and false.

Such evolutionary beliefs pose many questions and unsolvable problems.

Where did the parent tropical trees come from? How did male and female reproductive seeds transmit this ability? How do you know what the climate was 250 million years ago, or since then?

Etc., etc.

Trees are programmed for particular environments, those best suited to them.

Variation in species is restricted, and has defi-

nite boundaries.

Adaptation is governed by genetic laws.

Try growing fruit trees in cold climates.

It must really dismay orchardists, nursery personnel, forestry workers to learn that it takes millions of years to change or modify a species.

So much for seed selection, grafting, genetic engineering, all unnatural, outside changes to the natural genetic code. The whole evolutionary, long age development scenario is a farce, a myth, the great new age fairy tale.

What is so sad about this evolutionary concept is that many people actually believe this drivel.

Samples undergoing tests

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Results of lab tests indicating the composition of an orangeyellow slick on the shore of Shuswap Lake should be ready sometime today.

Interior Health Environmental Health Officer Brian Gregory was on a beach in Blind Bay Monday taking samples.

Gregory was responding to a complaint from Blind Bay resident Bruce Johnson, who had reported “brown, gooey stuff” near a pumping station in the 2001 block of Eagle Bay Road.

“Because the bay is half frozen over, you can walk out,” Johnson said last week, noting he had reported the ooze to the RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) line three times without response.

“People are running out of water and when you have such a beautiful lake, it’s a concern for me,” Johnson says, noting the lake is the local source of drinking water. “I’m concerned about the fish, and they’ve got a swimming area. To me it’s a big concern for the future for children.”

Meanwhile, on Friday, Gregory walked between 2001 and 2022 Eagle Bay Road taking photos but did not take samples. He explained there is a 30-hour window for getting material to the lab, which is closed on weekends.

“In my opinion, it didn’t have a sewagelike odour,” he said, noting he was an environmental health officer for the South Shuswap between 1995 and 2005.

“There was a lot of iron or reddish orange staining matter on the

Recreation Trail Society to disband The South Shuswap Recreation Trail Society will consider a dissolution motion at its 2014 annual general meeting.

This comes now that the society’s goal has been partially reached and the remainder will be carried on by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

Also, interest from new members in joining the society has waned. An update from society directors Dave Beattie, Judi Nerbas, Rod Williams and Jim Nerbas notes its history, stating the society was created in 2000 by citizens concerned about safety along the Blind Bay-Eagle Bay Road corridor.

The paved roadway, the jurisdiction of the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), did not adequately handle pedestrian traffic, particularly in summer.

Following a review of several alternatives, the creation of a paved shoulder along the existing roadway was deemed the most cost effective solution.

After many discussions between the society, the Area C director of the CSRD and local MOTI management, a unique verbal partnership was formed, which would see the construction over 10 years of one meter of paved shoulder on each side of the road, extending 12 kilometres from Reedman Point to Sorrento. Much of the society’s funding was secured through a CSRD referendum in November 2002. The society also worked to find other sources of funds to supplement the taxpayers’ contribution.

A one-km section from Balmoral Road to Centennial Drive was completed in 2002, paid by the Ministry of Transportation. A further 0.8 km. was completed west from Centennial Drive to Sunrise Boulevard in 2005 paid for by the society and local taxpayers. In 2007, 1.2-km from the Blind Bay/ Balmoral Junction along Eagle Bay Road was done.

In late 2008, a section west of Sunrise Boulevard to Tamarac and Cedar Drive east on Blind Bay Road was constructed. Since 2009 the society has contacted the ministry regarding cost sharing and has been advised annually that no funding is available.

In 2011, the CSRD accessed another grant of $690,000 for the widening of that portion west of Tamarac and further west of Cedar Drive. Work on the 1.6-km west of Tamarac will carry on this month with completion predicted for mid-May. The CSRD has made the commitment to continue the project, dependent upon funding. If the society is dissolved, its funds will be turned over on the condition that all monies are spent on the project.

Krill oil is tops for a strong mind and body nance cardiovascular health. Canada’s Food Guide recommends at least two servings (75 grams each) of fish a week.

That is 150 grams, 5 ounces, or one cup of cooked fish per week to meet the recommended amounts.

If a dietary supplement is your source of omega-3, check the label to learn the source.

• Many of us prefer krill oil due to its many benefits: A high percentage of omega-3s in phospholipid form; • Easy absorption

by the body; • No fishy odour.

Have you noticed any difficulty digesting alternate fish oil?

This is because it does not completely dissolve in water and tends to flow upward in the stomach, and may leave an unpleasant aftertaste.

Krill is k n ow n to absorb easily.

Incorporation worth a look ration study and what issues the community is facing today that the regional district system of governance cannot address.”

It is important to consider that there are many pros and cons associated with incorporation, all requiring careful study and deliberation.

On the pro side, one could argue for the benefits of enhanced community focus within the governance model. Instead of one director representing an area with a population of about 7,800, there could, for example, be a council of six councillors along with a mayor all from this area making decisions about this area.

Arguably, there would be an opportunity for a greater extent of control over local services provision because roads, policing, fire suppression, economic development, sewers, water supply, parks, emergency planning, solid waste management, and development planning and

DIrector’s notes Paul Demenok Recent decisions at the CSRD board have prompted some to call for incorporation of Blind Bay-Sorrento as a municipality.

In my opinion, this issue should be carefully evaluated from all perspectives.

For many years, the Sorrento and Area Community Association advocated for an incorporation study involving the Sorrento “village” area.

The BC Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development denied this request in 2013 because “…it remains unclear as to the reasons why residents and property owners feel that their community is ready to undertake an incorpo-

zoning are usually municipal responsibilities.

These responsibilities also comprise the major con of incorporation because in addition to providing for these services, the community would also need to fund the administration of them.

While Area C certainly funds much of the administration of the CSRD, incorporation would necessitate that these costs are totally absorbed locally.

In addition, our roads are presently maintained by the province, so this item alone could represent a substantial increase in costs to local taxpayers. Add policing costs into the mix and one can see why incorporation may not be such a bargain.

Smaller municipalities in B.C. have relied upon grants from the province to support their operations. This fact provides insight as to why the province may not be enthusiastic about new incorporations at this time.

Area C has not at-

tracted a large commercial/industrial base to enhance taxation revenues; it is mostly a residential area with businesses highly reliant on tourism and local population support.

This isn’t a good taxation model for a municipality.

While I remain skeptical that incorporation of Sorrento alone would be financially feasible, it may be worthwhile, however, to consider looking at a larger area with a larger revenue base.

The rationale for studying the feasibility of incorporation for Blind Bay-Sorrento in my mind is to provide us with a clearer picture of the costs and benefits.

This information would then form a basis for many in-depth discussions involving the entire community.

There would obviously need to be a strong basis of support for any such change in governance.

I think it’s worth taking a look as long as there remains a healthy

Prostitution laws need change

From the hill Colin Mayes On Dec. 20, the Supreme Court of Canada issued a unanimous ruling that declared three key anti-prostitution laws to be unconstitutional – saying that the laws against keeping, working in, or being found in a common bawdy house (or brothel); against living on the avails of prostitution (“pimping”); and against public solicitation for prostitution are unconstitutional because they infringe on the rights of prostitutes by depriving them of security of the person.

At first glance, this looks like a devastating blow against the efforts to reform Canada’s prostitution laws and to make buying sex illegal in Canada. And it will be the devastating blow if we do not seize the opportunity that is presented by this ruling.

While most reporting interprets the ruling as a declaration that prostitution is a consti-

tutional right that cannot be infringed upon, the Supreme Court was careful not to say that. In fact they went beyond that to specifically call attention to the fact that even before this ruling, our prostitution laws were inherently problematic This ruling is a wakeup call that we must fix our prostitution laws; and the call is urgent, for the courts have imposed a one year deadline.

The ruling calls attention to a glaring shortcoming in the current legislation – that prostitution itself, even before this ruling, was already legal. Indeed – they call upon Parliament to come up with laws that would ‘pass charter muster.’ In their decision the court took care to say that these prohibitions are only unconstitutional given the fact that prostitution itself is legal in Canada. Since prostitution is legal, the Supreme Court judges say that the three prohibitions make it too difficult for prostitutes to safely engage in sex work. Not only do they not say that prostitution should be legal or that it would be unconstitutional to prohibit prostitution itself – they go so far as to call upon Parliament to do just that – find a

constitutional way to prohibit prostitution.

This invitation is quite telling of the court’s inclination against the legitimacy of prostitution itself, and that the judges do not think any laws against it would be unconstitutional.

The ruling consistently emphasizes the role of government to protect the life, health and safety of its citizens – and suggests that laws that contradict this role are unconstitutional. In the court’s opinion the objective of Canada’s current prostitution laws is to ‘prevent public nuisance.’ Not only does this objective take a back seat to the higher objective of protecting the life, health and safety of prostitutes, it reflects a current lack of concern for the people involved in this industry. A change in objective will both address the ‘nuisance’ and acknowledge the worth and value of those who are involved in the industry and do more to protect their health and safety than simply removing the prohibitions in question (which only gives the illusion of protection).

In the ruling the court also suggests that the objective of criminalizing pimping is

itself not only constitutionally sound but that we as a society through our laws have a duty to seek to protect people from this exploitation.

The prohibition against pimping was struck down, not because exploiting prostitutes itself is a constitutional right, but because the prohibition as written could be used to prevent prostitutes from hiring bodyguards, secretaries and other supportive roles. Again, the court felt its ruling was bound by the fact that prostitution itself is legal. That they have given us a year to fix this suggests that they think it can (and should) be done.

In my next column, I will present the possible options to Parliament in response to the Supreme Court challenge.

Integrity Roofing looks for candidate for charity project

By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

Another year, another roof.

For the third year, Integrity Roofing owner Josh Bickle is planning to provide a roof, free

of charge, to a deserving individual who cannot afford to have the work done.

The first recipient of Integrity’s “cover-up” was a Ranchero homeowner living solely on his old age pension.

Last year, a Salmon Arm man burdened with multiple disabilities who uses a wheelchair, was grateful and relieved.

People who know of someone needing a new roof are encouraged to

send nominations no later than Friday, April 4 by email to info@ integrity roofing.ca, by fax at 250-833-1100 or

by Canada Post to PO Box 10021, Salmon Arm, V1E 3B9. No phone calls, please.

Nominated roofs, which cannot be too large, will be considered by the Bickles and physically assessed once the snow has gone.

Integrity aims to fix the worst roof for the most deserving person.

n Tess Jablonski of Chase takes a dip in the South Thompson River to complete her winter challenge. You may have seen a few people jumping into the river over the last while and wondered what they were doing. It’s the 2014 Winter Challenge, a popular fad. It starts by videotaping acceptance of the challenge to plunge into frigid waters within 24 hours of being nominated by others – and then doing it.

Village of Chase Deep discussion about Chase’s young people at the Project Comeback Workshop!

Do you think that disconnect between Chase seniors and young adults exists or that the outflow of youth from the community after high school is a problem?

These types of questions spurred an in-depth debate at the February 18th Project Comeback Workshop at the Chase Community Hall. Approximately 40 members of Chase and the surrounding community turned-out to participate in the workshop aimed at creating a dialogue and beginning to problem-solve about such issues.

The workshop follows after a two month long survey that asked 97 young adults in the community what they like about Chase, what challenges they face living here, and what types of services and amenities they need to continue living here. The findings of this survey were shared with the workshop participants and will be available to the public soon in a forthcoming report. Some of the key findings of the survey include the following: • 24% of the people polled had never been given the chance to speak about what they feel would make Chase a more attractive place to live • Only 59% believe there is a sense of community among young people in Chase • 54% do not plan to live in Chase for the long-term • Health care is the number one service young people in Chase believe the community could improve upon to make Chase a more desirable place to live.

The goal of the workshop was to use the information of the survey and form a working group with interested community members. The purpose of the working group will be to help deliver some of the key services and amenities identified by young adults in the survey. $24,000 has been allocated for delivering these services and amenities in Chase by the Canada-British Columbia Labour Market Development Agreement and by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada.

Feeding The Children

What’s New in Health & Wellness 250-804-2854

Child health and education is one of the top priorities for Rotary. Feeding children allows us to make a major contribution to both of these.

Answering the need to feed children in our community, Shuswap Rotary contacted four schools that were brought to our attention in our area. After meeting with the administration on each school it became obvious the each had a need to feed breakfast and/or lunch to a fair number of their students.

Each school was approaching the issues in unique ways and we were privileged to be able to help them.

With funds supplied, they were able to continue their program to the end of the year and also add quantity, quality and variation to their current program, and expand the number of days from two to five per week.

Ron Gilroy, Kathy Dunfield and Sherry Gilroy, our food program team, were able to visit A.L. Fortune this past month to see the breakfast program in progress. Students and staff all expressed their appreciation for the expansion of the breakfast program and the help with maintaining the lunch program. Principal Gene Dorey attributes some of the 95% and above success rate at the last report period to the program.

Salmon Arm West Principal Jody Garries was thankful that they would be able to continue their program beyond the early spring and both South Broadview and Ranchero were able to add to the offerings at their schools.

We also help the students at Barani School in Kenya feeding 350 students daily.

Currently located at Save on Foods, is our bright yellow double parking meter. It takes all change, including Toonies and Loonies, with all funds going directly to the food program.

REDUCE

SINCLAIR WATSON, MARY JEAN (MURDOCH) May 27. 1910 - Feb. 26, 2014 Mary Jean (nee Murdoch) Sinclair Watson passed away peacefully Feb.25, 2014 at Bastion Place, she was 103.

Jean, as she was called, was predeceased

by George Sinclair in 1943 and Dave Watson in 1988. She is survived by son Donald Sinclair and daughter Isabel Sinclair, grandchildren Doug Sinclair, Kelsey (Sinclair) Norlin and Megan (Sinclair) Frances and six great-grandchildren.

Jean was born in Markdale, Ont. in 1910 to Emeline and Arthur Murdoch. Her father enjoyed all things Scottish and ordered kilts form Scotland for his children, later Don and Isabel would wear them as well. Mother loved music and was given a Steinway piano for her twelfth birthday, the piano would figure largely in her life. She also loved the pipes and we would have a piper, the masterful Jim Wright, at her birthdays form age 90 on.

Jean wanted to be a teacher but her father wanted her to be a nurse. She graduated from U.B.C. Nursing program with a class of seven women in 1933. While Jean was playing the piano at a U.B.C. dance, George Sinclair, president of his engineering class, came over and introduced himself. Upon graduation Jean worked as a Public Health nurse in Vancouver. George and Jean were engaged for four years waiting for him to become employed. They were married Aug.10, 1938 at The Canadian Memorial Church in Vancouver. Family friend and founder George Fallis Sr. officiated at their marriage.

After marriage George and Jean moved to Wells, B.C. where George was employed as a mining engineer. Jean’s two children Don and Isabel were born there in 1941 and 1943. George was tragically killed in a mining accident on Aug.24, 1943.

Both Jean’s parents, had passed on before she was twenty, one of TB the other of cancer, so at this time Jean’s father-in-law Donald (Dan) Sinclair invited her and the children to come and live with him. He had homesteaded 320 acres on Lakeshore Rd. in 1894 which he cleared with Clydesdale horses. Dan was a member of the first Salmon Arm Council. Later Jean built her own home just below Dan’s house.

After moving to her new home she ran a kindergarten out of her basement for a number of years, later she worked as a nurse in Dr. Bennett’s office.

Jean was involved in many local groups, The United Church (she played the piano for the Sunday School), The Eastern Star, Rainbow Singers, Senior’s Club, and The Horticultural Society. She also attended the Symphony and Les Ellenor’s literature series at Okanagan College. She enjoyed bridge, whist and in later years, rummy.

She loved flowers and also giving them away (and giving things away in general), she often would go to the farmer’s market and fill her scooter basket up with flowers and drive up to Pioneer Lodge to give them to the residents. She enjoyed picking flowers around Bastion and nearby, usually with permission, and to give them away as well. She loved to take her friends for drives in her badly battered car. She was infamous for her lack of good driving habits but, although she once wiped out the ICBC office window or was it Wee Willie’s, or both, she never had a serious accident. Also, an indication of her durability was that after her third hip fracture her doctors told us she would likely not survive for more than six months (it would be another 9 years).

She was generous with her time and possessions and donated to local charities. When a South African family who had moved here lost their home in a fire she invited them to come and live at her house.

She met Dave Watson who shared an interest in horticulture and they were married in 1978. They had trips to the Caribbean, Hawaii and England to visit Isabel, Scotland, and Holland for the tulips. Dave passed in 1988 and Jean moved into an apartment and then later to assisted living in 2002.

After breaking her hip for a third time she moved in 2005 to Bastion Place where she was exceeding well cared for. The family is grateful that she could spend her last years there and wish to thank the Bastion staff and volunteers for their many kindnesses.

She was out-going and known for her smile and her memory.

She was also notorious for driving her scooter. A limerick written by her son for her 90th birthday goes like this: Granny turns ninety today Granny turns ninety today And everyone’s happy to say Her car’s off the road But like Mr. Toad When she hops on her scooter We pray.

Jean led a courageous and inquisitive life and will be missed.

A Celebration of Life will take place at the United Church, Salmon Arm, Sat. May 31, 2014 @1pm (she would have been 104 on May 27).

I have heard many humorous and interesting anecdotes of her life, those wishing to share these can send them to www.fischersfuneralservies.com.

www.fischersfuneralservices.com With deep sadness we would like to announce the sudden passing of Bob Coates at Vancouver General Hospital on March 4, 2014.

Bob was a lifelong resident of Salmon Arm. He spent most of his working life doing road construction and paving, which took him around B.C. and Alberta.

Bob had a zest for life and loved travelling, snowmobiling, quadding, and hanging out on the lake camping and boating, especially when he could get together with his longtime friends, Sean and Connie, Ed, and Phil.

He had a soft spot for children, and his nieces and nephews always enjoyed receiving wacky gifts from “Uncle Bob”. Because of his allergies, Bob had what most would describe as different pets, such as his iguana, African Gray Parrot and 200 gallon fish tank with a host of exotic fish. He also had a real love of flowers, planting many different kinds in the flower beds at his home, even though he rarely got to enjoy the blossoms because he was working away.

Bob was an avid snowmobiler and belonged to several snowmobile associations. He took part in snowmobiling competitions, including a recent Poker Ride. He also used to set track on Fly Hills.

Bob was predeceased by his dad, Norman, in 2006. He is survived by his mom, Johanna, and four sisters and their families. They are Alice and Gary Hucul and their children Kyle (Michelle) and Kelsey (Erik); Jullie Matthews and Ric and her children Myriah, Tristan and Cody; Linda Coates and her children Lydia and Gabe; and Trina and Jason Forslund and their children Xander and Austin.

He supported many causes, especially the Sea Shepherd Society, Veterans Affairs, the Vancouver Children’s Hospital and Shriners. Bob was also a strong supporter of the organ donor program and his family and friends know that although they have suffered a heartbreaking loss, his last act was to help many others.

His family would like to thank the paramedics, doctors, surgeons and nurses in Salmon Arm, Kamloops and Vancouver hospitals for the excellent care Bob received.

A celebration of life will be held in Bob’s honour at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Salmon Arm at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 15.

Online condolences may be sent through Bob’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

(JEWELL) SHEILA ANNE SYME Sheila Anne Syme (Jewell) passed away peacefully February 23, 2014 at home after a long struggle with cancer. She was born April 19, 1959 in Salmon Arm and was the youngest of three to Roy and Shirley Jewell. She was a lifelong resident of Salmon Arm and loved the Shuswap. At an early age Sheila started work with her parents at the family business, Jewell’s Greenhouse, on Piccadilly until its closure in early 1990s. She met Bob in 1984 and got married the following year. Together they had two children and she became a stay at home mom to ensure her children were raised with the utmost amount of love. She valued her relationships with family and friends more than anything.

Sheila loved her gardens. She loved growing things and she loved making her space beautiful with nature. Every year gardens were expanded, the lawns shrank and the flowers blossomed.

When the crocuses would start to bloom, Sheila would be excited that another year in the garden was beginning.

Throughout her three year struggle with cancer Sheila never gave up, she always maintained a positive attitude that cancer was not going to live in her body. The strength and courage she showed throughout the past three years inspired her family and friends. Most days, even after chemotherapy treatments, Sheila would be found in her gardens not allowing cancer to affect here daily life.

Sheila was predeceased by her brother Ken Jewell (2005) and mother Shirley Jewell (2007).

She is survived by her father Roy Jewell, husband Bob Syme, sons Andrew Syme and Scott (Brittny) Syme, brother Terry (Betty) Jewell, in-laws Don and Jane Syme, closest friend Cindy Inglis and many nieces and nephews. A celebration of Sheila’s life was held March 3rd at Bowers Funeral Home, it was preceded by interment of cremated remains at Mt. Ida Cemetery.

The family would like to extend the warmest thank you to the staff at Shuswap Community Care and to Dr. Chris Weiker for all their care and support.

Online condolences may be sent through Sheila’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

LYONS, MARGARET (MAGGIE) CECILLE Margaret (Maggie) Cecille Lyons, 59 of Calgary, passed away suddenly of cancer on January 24, 2014, at Peter Lougheed Centre, in Calgary Alberta. Maggie is survived by her husband Garry Clowater, her daughter Cassandra Lyons, of Salmon Arm, as well as an estranged sister and brother in British Columbia.

Maggie was born in New Westminister, British Columbia to Alfred Max and Annette Marie Wisser, on March 24, 1954. She lived in Port Coquitlam, Kelowna and Salmon Arm, before moving to Calgary in 1988. She preferred a quiet life and had a passion for flower gardening, decorating, and reading science fiction novels.

A quiet ceremony celebrating Maggie’s life and remembrances was held by her husband and her close friends at her home in Calgary. Her ashes will be returned to a place she loved near Eagle Bay on Shuswap Lake, BC. JOAN KENNEY Joan passed away peacefully, Friday, March 7, 2014, surrounded by the love of her family.

Joan is survived by her loving children: Lee of Kamloops, Janice (Al) Stewart of Kamloops, Neil (Krista) of Salmon Arm and Andrea of Abbotsford, her brother Alan(Jenny)Skilton of Caterham, Surrey, England, grandchildren: Marla, Shannon, Whitney, Joleen, great-grandchildren: Mathew, Jordyn, Devin, Hayden. Joan is also survived by loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Joan was pre-deceased by her husband, Doug, sister Sylvia & husband Eric, sister-in-law Ena and husband Wilfred.

Joan was born May 19,1923, in Caterham England to Lily and Sidney Skilton (deceased). She was a telephone operator during WWII and met a Canadian soldier, Douglas Kenney. They married July 10, 1943 and she became one of the many British war-brides arriving in Canada the end of May 1945. Her new home was the Village of Wawota, Saskatchewan, where Doug’s parents, William & Elizabeth Kenney (deceased) lived. Lee, Janice and Neil were born during that time. In 1956, the family moved to Salmon Arm where Andrea was born to complete the family. Joan loved Salmon Arm and embraced her new home. She became involved with the St John’s Anglican Church Guild, the Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary, Girl Guides, War-Brides Association, Churches of Salmon Arm Thrift Shop and was known as Mrs. Santa Claus in Salmon Arm during the Christmas season. She and Doug were also Park Hosts for the Provincial Park system for a number of years.

Joan spent her last 8 years at Shuswap Lodge, where she received excellent loving care and support by the entire compassionate staff and her family thanks you for this care. Joan’s family would like to express sincere thanks to her wonderful caring doctor, Dr Heunis, “my dear Doctor Adrian”, the entire nursing staff at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for the highest level of care and compassion and Community Care, Salmon Arm, for their assistance.

Donations in Joan’s memory would be gratefully appreciated to Shuswap General Hospital Foundation.

A Celebration of Joan’s life will be held Monday, March 17, 2014 at 11:00 A.M at St John’s Anglican Church, Salmon Arm, BC. The family would like to thank each and everyone for their thoughts, prayers and phone calls and in the words of our Mom, “God Bless You”.

Time management for home cooked meals Living WELL Do you love the idea of home cooked meals but struggle with time?

Could you use some easy ideas and tips for bringing tasty lunches to work and school?

Well you are not alone.

Simply Cook and Enjoy is this year’s Nutrition Month theme.

Simply Cook and

Enjoy focuses on helping families get back to the basics of preparing foods at home.

Cooking from scratch does not need to be complicated.

Combine a few basic ingredients with a little preparation time and you can enjoy tasty meals in no time!

Food prepared at home tastes way better and saves money.

Nothing beats yummy homemade food. Here are some simple tips that will help inspire you and your family to make wholesome foods a part of your daily routine.

Don’t be afraid to ask for helping hands.

More hands in the kitchen means more help with preparation, set up and clean up.

Ask for involvement or

set up a weekly schedule that works for each helper.

Sharing basic kitchen skills with your family is good for everyone. The kitchen is also a great place for families to catch up and connect.

A little planning goes along way.

Planning meals for the week helps provide variety and makes getting meals on the table so much easier.

250-832-8064 Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 5 years. A 45-year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally.

After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician.

He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces.

His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently.

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

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

ily for favourite requests and have fun taking turns.

Be creative with leftovers.

Food made for dinner can be enjoyed again the next day.

Leftover roasted chicken can be used in a wrap or sandwich, added to soups, or used as a topping for salads.

Save time by cooking a little extra and freezing it in small containers for quick, wholesome lunches to go.

While you are cooking, try cutting up extra vegetables or grating extra cheese and then storing it in air tight containers. They will come in handy next time you toss a salad, stuff a sandwich, pack a lunch or need to quickly steam or sauté a side of veggies.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:
