What’s happening to the turtles?

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

By Helga Vrabac Something strange has been happening at Gardom Lake that has many residents and lake users concerned about the Western Painted Turtle population.

On April 9th, of this year, shortly after ice-off, a Gardom Lake resident reported three injured turtles off the NW shore of Main Island. Two were dead with three damaged extremities each. The third turtle was barely moving up on the shore. It had its

right front leg missing.

A week later the same resident saw another turtle with a missing left front leg. It was still active and swimming.

He also reported finding three more dead turtles off shore on the East side of Main Island, again with damaged limbs.

Finally, on May 23 another resident reported seeing the 9th victim on the SW shore of

nature’scorner Shuswap Naturalists

Gardom Lake, a good distance from Main Island. This turtle’s intestines were protruding from the damaged anus and the tail was missing. It was still alive.

No one here, even long-time residents, have ever seen or heard of mutilations or cluster killings like this.

The enclosed photo shows the right foot gnawed off, which would exclude an eagle or other bird of prey as a culprit since a bird does not have teeth for gnawing.

To date we don’t know what is responsible for this and we welcome any information or advice regarding this unusual phenomenon.

By Stephanie Morin-Davis Over the past few weeks, I had submitted a number of articles announcing the events and presenters gracing the 10th Annual Word On The Lake Festival. I spend the weekend doing what I do best: observing the goings on and absorbing the information presented. By nature, I am more of a fly on the wall than a mingler. My ears are always open listening to those that do converge and chat. That sounds a bit creepy, but people tend to talk a little louder when they are excited, and I have the ears of a rabbit.

For any of you who were thinking of attending the festival but weren’t sure whether it would have been worth the time and financial investment, slate it in for next year. Writers from Vancouver, Cranbrook, and Medicine Hat openly touted the quality of the Salmon Arm Festival over those they’ve attended in Vancouver. Wow–that is some endorsement! Top of their list were the quality of the presenters, the depth of the critiques provided at the Blue Pencil sessions, the outstanding venue, and the event’s organization. Repeat attendees from Kelowna and Kamloops plan on returning next year. As a local, I can vouch that it was a great event; I learned a lot about the state of the industry

and how to improve my writing skills. I will be attending next year.

The Friday night coffee house was also well spoken of. Upon opening its doors, The Salmon Arm Art Gallery quickly reached capacity, and for those who slipped in just before the evening began, it was standing room only. Hearing the authors read excerpts from their books provided the audience with a unique glimpse into the true heart of the work. It was mesmerizing. On behalf of those who enjoyed the evening, many thanks to the Shuswap Writers’ Group for putting on such a wonderful event.

The Saturday Night Loose Extravaganza was a rousing success. Lucas Myers’ performance had the audience in stitches. The music of Blu and Kelly Hopkins, and Person to Person thoroughly engaged the audience. For those of you didn’t attend, you missed a great show. Well over $600.00 was raised for the Second Harvest Food Bank.

Once again, I would like to say thanks to the Festival Planning Committee and the little army of volunteers for their tireless efforts at making this event such a success. To the Lakeshore News, thank you for providing this space to get the word out. You do a great service for this community.

by Dr. Warren Gage

Service award presented

Worldwide disability leader

A massive global collaboration between the World Health Organization, multiple governments, universities, and researchers over the past decade have been looking at the “global burden of disease.” What they have found is musculoskeletal disease, specifically low back and neck pain, are now the #1 and #4 causes of disability worldwide.

In fact, a summary from the 2000-2010 Bone and Joint Decade Task Force states: “low back pain, neck pain and arthritis affect more than 1.7 billion people worldwide and have a greater impact on worldwide health than HIV/AIDS, malaria and other tropical diseases, the forces of war and nature, and all other neurological conditions combined.”

They also stated in their summary that the impact of musculoskeletal conditions are so massive, they should be given the same (or higher) priority of policies and resources as other health challenges such as cancer, mental health, and cardiovascular disease.

Governments around the globe are facing enormous challenges financing the ‘treatment’ of all of the above-mentioned health issues. It is my hope that the will of the people will begin to sway decision- and policy-makers to favour a more conservative (less expensive), preventative approach. The existing sickness model of care, where treatment is paid for only once people have developed these conditions, is far more expensive and has long ago proven to be neither sustainable or effective. A health and wellness preventative approach to all of the above conditions is the only solution.

Waiting for “the powers that be” to look after your best interests can be frustrating and dangerous to say the least. Take control of your own health and begin taking the steps towards health and wellness rather than waiting until disease treatment is required. Self-care is vital in maintaining good health. As a nation we must take responsibility for our own welfare instead of waiting until our health fails.

Seek out the modalities that best fit with your lifestyle. Acupuncture, massage, cranial sacral therapy, homeopathy, laser light therapy, counselling sessions (to release emotional stressors), a clean organic diet, frequent exercise, and maintaining a regularly scheduled visit to your chiropractor will keep you on the path to “wellness” and out of the fast-lane to “sickness.” Staying healthy may appear costly; however, when you lose your health, you will be more than willing to mortgage your house to get it back.

We chiropractors are musculoskeletal specialists with a special focus on health, performance, and prevention, and can help. Our goals are health promotion, which is achieved through a healthy lifestyle and a proper functioning nervous system. The doctors at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic may be reached at (250) 803-0224. Results vary from person to person.

Last Wednesday, the Columbia Shuswap Branch of the BC Power Pioneers had their annual BBQ lunch at Elks Park, during which they presented a $1000 Youth Community Service Award to Shelby Gulka of Sorrento.

Each year, BC Power Pioneers present these awards to 20 deserving students in the province.

HRV and meditation

Heart rate (HR) is the number of heartbeats per minute, and is usually between 60 to 80 beats per minute.

Even though the heart appears to beat regularly, the time interval between consecutive heartbeats is always changing. (This change is very minute and is measured in milliseconds.

Hence it cannot be measured in a routine clinical exam.) This beat-tobeat time variation in a millisecond is called HRV, which can be measured by recent computer technology. In a normal person, HRV is on average more than 50 milliseconds between beats. Among those recovering from heart attacks, it has been found that people with an HRV of less then 50 millisecond have a 5.3 times higher chance of sudden death.

Emotions and feelings affect the HRV. Negative emotions like anger, frustration, envy, anxiety, fear, guilt and sadness all reduce the HRV. On the other hand, positive emotions such as love, caring, compassion, joy and peace increase the HRV. Life is a challenge, sometimes

causing negative emotions. However, meditating positively on a situation can help to alleviate the adverse effects of negative emotions. It also increases the HRV, and is of great benefit for overall good health.

There are various books available on how to meditate, but meditation simply means to think quietly in order to bring our total awareness to focussing on the point of our meditation, which may be our breath, rhythmic sounds or a repetition of words (as in prayer) or mantras.

A similar way to meditate is to find a quiet spot and sit on the floor or a chair, and in complete silence become aware of your breathing while inhaling and exhaling. The mind will try to wander, but try to focus on your breathing. Doing this for 10 to 15 minutes, two to three times a day is a great way to learn the art of meditation, and a simple preventive measure for many diseases.

This year’s Relay for Life raised a whopping $151,000 in Salmon Arm, in spite of the fact that fewer teams and participants registered for the event compared to last year.

The event also raised over $51,000 in Revelstoke.

Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is Canada’s biggest cancer fundraiser. It also gives participants and their community the opportunity to celebrate cancer survivors, remember and honour loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back for a future without cancer.

Funds raised help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives by investing in cancer research, offering cancer support services, and leading prevention initiatives.

Caring about health

Get together at Rotary’s garden party

The second annual Shuswap Rotary Fundraising Garden Party will be held this year at the R. J. Haney Heritage Village on a sunny Saturday afternoon this July 6th, 1:00–5:00 p.m. Like last year, the purpose of the event is to raise funds for the Ecuador Dental project and the Kenyan Barani School program.

Last year’s party at the Granite Creek Winery was very successful and this year the organizers are hoping to surpass that event with an even better one at Haney.

This year’s theme will be similar to last year’s; however, this year in addition to live Dixieland music by the Salty Dogs, entertainment will be provided by the world-renowned “James Johnson and his Magical Daredevil Comedy Show” who will dazzle and delight young and old alike.

Parents and grandparents are encouraged to bring well-behaved children as there will be ice cream and games for all those who would like to be active. For those that would like a more relaxing afternoon, sit

with your friends at one the tables for ten in the garden for great conversation, entertainment, wine or tea and light refreshments.

This is a great way to spend an afternoon this summer with your friends knowing that in doing so you are helping feed the hungry school children in Barani, Kenya and to help realize a child’s first dental treatment in Ecuador.

Take a moment and get group of friends together for your own table at this year’s event. Tickets are $25 each (those well-behaved children are no charge) and this includes a ticket for a glass of local wine ($5 value). There will also be a stand offering a variety of flavours of ice cream, plus a selection of speciality teas as well.

Tickets are available at Dr. Gene Tymkiw’s office, located at 320 Alexander St NE. Tickets will be available at Haney the day of the event, but to ensure the availability of a table for you and your friends, why not reserve ahead of time.

Foundation Treasurer Addie Williams is pleased to present a silver Benefactor fish in recognition of the generosity of Chris and Margreta Dyke.

The Foundation is constantly challenged to fulfill requests for funding priority equipment needs that are over and above the annual hospital budget. The kindness of the Dykes allows the Foundation to continue to ensure that the highest levels of patient care are met.

ROYAL WOK RESTAURANT IS NOW OPEN

STUDENTS LEARN THE CONSTRUCTION TRADE

Les Shuert, right, is instructing the current Residential Construction Program that has 12 students building a 2,300 sq. ft. home at the corner of Auto Rd. and 12 St SE in Salmon Arm. Les lives in Grindrod and works out of the Kelowna and Salmon Arm campuses of Okanagan College. It is the tenth such project he has taught in the North Okanagan and Shuswap areas.

Sponsors of the house project are Shuswap-North Okanagan School Board, Okanagan College, and Rotary Clubs of Salmon Arm. Rudy Hyde of Hyde Werk Homes is project coordinator supplying plans, trade coordination and all of the construction materials. When completed, the house will be sold.

Of the 12 students, four are from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary, four are adult students, and four are from the Women in Trades program at the college. Beginning July 2, all students will be in the classroom to receive first year apprenticeship training at the Okanagan College Salmon Arm Trades Centre in the industrial park. When the course completes August 3, all 12 students will have the opportunity to seek employment as apprentices in the construction trade.

FIRST FEMALE IN CONSTRUCTION COURSE

In 2004 I needed some work done in my house, and I saw a quarter-page ad from a female who completed the construction course offered in Salmon Arm. She was Christina Thielman. I had taken a picture for the paper that year at the official start of the construction of the first residential house built by students, and I noticed a mature woman amongst the male teenagers.

A perk in the course was that any student who started a business was given a newspaper ad. That’s how I found Christina. Working in the lower part of my house she opened the ceiling, took out the insulation and replaced it with layer upon layer of soundproofing materials, ending with ceiling tiles. She had two textbooks with pictures that she followed.

The soundproofing between the two floors was 100 percent

better. She also built two walls to give another bedroom in part of the very large rec. room on the lower floor.

DEMILLE’S MARA MARKET HAS NEW OWNERS

Brad DeMille sold his Mara store so he can devote more time to DeMille’s Farm Market at the west end of Salmon Arm. He will not reopen his Armstrong store on Hwy 97A because of the high speed of vehicles going by, and the size of the building.

New owners of the Mara Foodliner on June 1, 2013 are Jill and Cam Bos, formerly of Mara and, since 1990, of Enderby. Both were longtime employees of Central Hardware. Their construction company is C. Bos Homes that specializes in custom homes on Mara Lake, as well as in Sicamous, Salmon Arm and Enderby, and has even built barns. Jill will run the store and Cam will continue building homes.

Jill and Cam have partners in the Mara Foodliner, Jan & Marilyn Vandenberg for whom they built a house on Mara Lake. They have been coming to the lake for many seasons.

VOTE FOR SALMON ARM BEFORE SUNDAY NIGHT

Let’s have Global TV broadcast its morning news from Salmon Arm on Friday, July 28 by winning a contest called Celebrate Your Town. It is sponsored by Global BC and Save-On-Foods. Between now and midnight on Sun., June 16, go to http://celebrateyourtown.ca/vote. Before you can register your vote, you must read the rules.

The first part of the contest was in May, when four finalists from all BC communities were chosen from 500-word essays. Thank you George Riggs for nominating Salmon Arm. Read his essay when you vote. We are competing against Penticton, Campbell River and Cranbrook.

Ginny Schedewitz of Sorrento wants Salmon Arm to win.

She wrote me about this contest, and I join her in urging everyone with a computer to vote before Sunday midnight.

One lucky voter will win a $500 Save-On-Foods gift card just for voting, and three runners-up will each win a $250 gift card.

After many months of renovations, the restaurant on the highway next to the Chevron station is finally open. It is owned by Kevin Yang.

In 2005, because of the poor economy in China, he immigrated to Canada and settled in Toronto where he had friends and relatives.

He worked in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant, and took ESL classes to learn English. He is still learning English by talking to people, and uses the translation app on his iPhone if he is stuck for a word. He wanted to move to a better climate so he studied Chinese newspapers for a place to have a business in B.C., and visited many communities, finally choosing Salmon Arm. With him are his wife Ada Sun, their two children aged 3 and 5, Ada’s parents, and Kevin’s friend from Toronto who is helping with start-up. Ada is just starting to learn English.

Look for Royal Wok’s ad in this issue.

GUESS THE DATE OF THE ROYAL BIRTH

I am starting to receive guesses in the contest that has this prize: a $10 gift card to the coffee shop of your choice OR, if you guess the exact time and date when Kate delivers, the prize is a $20 gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice.

Send your guesses to me by June 30, to sallys1@telus.net or mail them to Sally Scales, Box 1270, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4P4. Maximum of three guesses, all in the same email or envelope. If you are mailing from the Salmon Arm post office, take your envelope to the bin on the counter labelled Salmon Arm mail, otherwise it will go to Vancouver for sorting.

GARAGE SALE THIS SATURDAY, 8 TO 12

Last week I wrote about people in the country who wanted a place with more traffic where they could sell their used goods.

I asked if there was someone who lived along a highway and had a large yard or parking lot for a sale. One person called me right away, so the first garage sale will be at her place, at 2824 50th Ave NW, on the road to Pierre’s Point Campground. There is good access from the TCH. If you’re coming from Enderby, the turnoff is 7.6 km from the Shell station in Salmon Arm. If you’re coming from Sorrento, the turnoff is 6 km from the Tappen Co-op.

If you plan to sell your goods there, call Joanne at 250-8334985. Or just show up around 7:30 with your tables or trunk or pickup. sallys1@telus.net • 250-832-4831

Last Friday, French immersion kindergarten students from Bastion Elementary, along with their teacher Madame Sievert, went to SASS Sullivan campus to visit Madame Hamel’s grade 12 English class (also French immersion) to perform their play ‘Vite, Vite, Le Loup Arrive.’

After their performance, each kindergarten student had a personal tour of the highschool with a big buddy, and received a goodie bag of candy afterwards. It was a fun visit for everyone. Photo by Sheri Hamilton.

Release salmon fry for Canada Day

Start your Canada Day celebrations early by releasing a bucket of baby Chinook salmon into the Shuswap River!

The staff at community-run Kingfisher Interpretive Centre salmon hatchery will be releasing their baby Chinook salmon into the Shuswap River on Sunday, June 30, from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. If anyone is interested in releasing a bucket of fish, please come down, lend a hand, and get an up-close, hands-on experience with these little fish.

There are 60,000 fish that need to be placed back into their natural environment in order to prepare for their perilous journey to the ocean.

There will be an aquatic invertebrate activity

giving participants a chance to test their bug-catching skills, and an opportunity to make a Canada Day inspired bookmark.

Learn about beavers, the Canadian national symbol. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the beach with your family or bring a hotdog to roast on the fire. Enjoy a walk through the interior rainforest and learn about different plant species.

Become a salmon steward and learn about BC’s precious resource.

The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre is a non-profit, charitable society located at 2550 Mabel Lake Rd (25 kms east of Enderby). Find out more by calling them at 250-838-0004.

Mall Arkey’s Guide to Croaking ver. 3.2

So you’ve decided to listen to Mall Arkey Junior and make yourself a will. If you’re cheap like me, your first impulse is to find an online do-it-yourself will kit or simply write your wishes on a napkin. Though this seems like a smart way to save some money, when it comes to a will, you need to have it prepared properly so nothing is missed or misunderstood.

Wills are actually a relatively cheap service offered by lawyers and notaries. The wording is pretty standard for most wills, so they can insert the names of your heirs, etc, and in very little time and for a few hundred bucks prepare a will for you. Obviously the cost would go up if you owned beachfront property in Mexico, but overall it is a small price to pay for something so important. If you want to save money, then water down your juice or re-use aluminum foil to wrap birthday presents, but don’t cut corners doing your will.

Your will distributes not only your property and investments, but also your favourite Hawaiian shirt, your belt buckle collection,

and other sentimental stuff the kids may fight over.

Often it is disputes over sentimental treasures that tear apart a grieving family. If you think your relatives are going to fight over the small stuff, be sure to specify this in your will or give it to them ahead of time.

What if you feel your wife or kids don’t deserve anything and you disinherit them? What if, instead, you leave all your possessions to your favourite golfing buddy instead? Well it isn’t that simple. In fact, your wife and kids can apply to the courts for a redistribution of your estate if they can prove you haven’t provided sufficient support for your dependents.

Finally, when making a will, be sure to choose the right executor. Your executor not only hands out all your money and “stuff,” but they also ensure your debts are paid off and any necessary paperwork is completed including final income tax

mallarkey

by Daron Mayes returns.

When choosing an executor, make sure you find someone who is trustworthy and has the patience to deal with a lot of paperwork. Oh yes, and make sure the person you choose is willing to take on the responsibility too. It is common courtesy to ask and besides, if they don’t want to do it and back out, the courts will appoint someone.

Again, this will only cost your estate more money.

Needless to say, you should let your executor/executrix know where your will is located. It is also a good idea to create a list of items he or she should know about and include it with your will. Things like where the keys to your safety deposit box are, where your investments are located and any other places you’ve squirreled valuables away. Remember this should be someone you can trust!

Ida and Shuswap Lake.

A little closer, Tappen valley’s hills, fields and trees look inviting.

Below is picturesque Blind Bay, with its many roads, houses, docks and green golf course area. To the right, sparkling Shuswap Lake disappears in the distance, surrounded by greengrey rolling mountains.

At the far right Copper Island draws the eye, with its steep cliff and treed gentler side providing a colourful contrast to the blue lake.

It’s a view that you can soak up for a long time.

Other than flying, there is only one way to see this wonderful vista.

Fortunately there is a hiking trail system that climbs to the Blind Bay Bluffs, accessible from trailheads at either McArthur Heights (the quickest, steepest route, but also with a longer, less steep option), or from the Balmoral

Trailhead off Balmoral Road near the Alpen Paradies subdivision.

On a beautiful May day this year about 20 Shuswap Outdoor Club members and guests hiked a loop trail beginning and ending at the McArthur Heights trailhead parking lot. The trail heads in to the forest and soon begins its steady and rather steep switchbacking 1 kilometre climb to the lookout at the top of the bluffs.

Caution is needed on the ascent/descent as the sides drop off abruptly in many places, but with my good grip shoes, I didn’t have any difficulty. Sturdy runners or hiking boots are also appropriate.

Partial views are obtainable from the trail on the way up, but the best one by far is from the top where a large Canadian flag flies proudly in the breeze. Allow up to an hour for the climb to do it without rushing. It’s considered a challeng-

ing climb, so be aware of your abilities.

We sat or stood in the sunshine admiring the view, taking photos and eating a snack, before heading down the eastern side of the bluff and into the forest on new and old trails that looped us about 6 kilometres back to the McArthur Heights trailhead and our vehicles.

It took our group about 1 1/2 hours for the return. To take this

Balmoral and White Lake trail system and the Balmoral trailhead parking lot, providing optional alternate routes.

To reach the McArthur Heights parking lot and trailhead, turn north on Balmoral Road from the TCH 24 kilometres west of Salmon Arm, and drive to Reedman Point Rd., about 2 kilometres past the Blind Bay Rd junction. Turn

route up to the lookout would take longer of course. Some trail junctions are signed, but some are not, so using a GPS unit or hiking with someone who knows the trails would be helpful. Some of the trails also link with the

right and then left onto McBride Road. Follow McBride to the end.

For more information on the trail go to www. shuswaptrails.com and find the Blind Bay Bluffs link in the South Shuswap area listing.

Shuswap water quality and safety still a priority

Regional district representatives on the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) Steering Committee have agreed in principle to recommend that the ThompsonNicola, Columbia Shuswap and North Okanagan Regional Districts continue to work together on water quality and safety issues in the Shuswap watershed in 2014 and beyond. One pressing reason for the collaborative effort is the need to protect the source of drinking water for thousands of people in the Shuswap and Mara Lakes.

Their recommendation is subject to completion of a revised governance model. SLIPP is in its third year of a three-year pilot project, and the agreement in principle allows for detailed discussions on cost-sharing, funding approvals and a detailed work plan later this year.

At the June 10 meeting, Paul Demenok, Electoral Area C Director for Columbia Shuswap Regional District, was appointed Chair of the Steering Committee.

“I’m very pleased to be the new Chair of SLIPP and I look forward to collaborating with all members of the Steering Committee in a constructive and positive manner. It was very encouraging to see the clear consensus amongst members to see a version of SLIPP continue beyond the pilot program,” said Demenok.

Nancy Cooper, Mayor of Salmon Arm, continues as Vice Chair.

Other highlights of the June 10 meeting: The Steering Committee discussed the draft Recreation Management Plan. The draft plan is available for download and public feedback through an online survey until September 15 on the SLIPP website at www.slippbc. com/draft-rmp-ready-for-publicreview.

Nelson Jatel, Water Stewardship Director at the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB), presented an overview of the OBWB mandate, governance structure and funding model.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations confirmed that enforcement of

legislation on docks (in the Shuswap and across the province) is within the Ministry’s mandate and is unconnected to the work of SLIPP. The Ministry has advised that approximately 150 docks are owned by semi-waterfront property owners that front property owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Without permission from the upland owner, these docks may have to be removed. The removal of approximately 20 structures is planned for 2013. Enforcement of legislation respecting docks is taking place on lakes throughout the province, not only in the Shuswap. Tenure for docks and structures on the Crown foreshore can be applied for through FrontCounter BC. Once tenure is in place, maintenance or repair of docks can be done under the tenure.

Summer open houses to present information on SLIPP will be held in early August in Sicamous, Scotch Creek and the South Shuswap (location to be determined).

Expect your schedule to become quite hectic in the next few days, Capricorn. You may want to tie up any loose ends now and use any free time to rest.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, a burst of energy has you flying through all of those little projects that you have been putting off. Once you are done, you may have to create a new list.

PISCES

Pisces, though you feel like you have just been going through the motions, others are far more impressed than you think.

ARIES

This is a good time to overhaul your approach to fitness, Aries. If you have been thinking about scheduling a physical or getting a gym membership, do so this week.

TAURUS

Taurus, you may have a difficult time taking sides when friends ask for your help in settling a dispute. Let your friends know you prefer to stay out of the squabble.

GEMINI

Gemini, you are in need of some down time, so plan a weekend jaunt or a brief vacation to relax and recharge your batteries this week.

CANCER

It would normally be quite an effort to pull the wool over your eyes, Cancer. However, in the next few days you will be so distracted with other things that fooling you is possible.

LEO

Leo, take a few days to act foolish, throw caution to the wind and have a good time. If you don’t, there may not be another such opportunity anytime soon.

VIRGO

Virgo, the only way to get through a bumpy week is to keep your head down and your focus intense. Concentrate on the tasks at hand, and the week will be over before you know it.

LIBRA

Libra, sometimes practicality gets in the way of your imagination. Though this can sometimes be stifling, you have to find a balance between whimsy and reality.

Mountain biking club starts at Bastion

Canadian Parents for French is organizing a Bastion School Mountain Biking Club for both English and French students at Bastion Elementary. The rides will be lead by two Bastion teachers and accompanied by parent volunteers and Skookum Cycle staff.

The first rides will take place after school on Thursday, June 20th. Beginners, accompanied by their parents, will be riding at the wharf and bird sanctuary trail. Intermediate riders will be riding at Little Mountain. Bikes must be in good working condition and helmets are mandatory. French

immersion students will be following their treasure maps in French while the English students will be using treasure maps in jolly old English.

Quilting more than just colourful squares of cloth

www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

By Howard Vangool Blocks, fat quarter, cornerstones, sashing...the words roll off Blanche Hartnett’s tongue as she enthusiastically talks to me about quilting and how the different quilts are made.

“So, basically, they first make all the little squares–’blocks,’” she tells me.

“Okay, so first they assemble all the blocks,” I say, using the new term carefully, “and then they sew them all together, sometimes sewing cornerstones and sashing between the blocks to make a finished quilt pattern, and then add batting and backing to complete it?”

Blanche tells me that this is correct, and happy with my new knowledge, I wander off to admire the 350 quilts on display at the quilt show this past weekend at Shaw Centre.

Prior to having arrived at the show I hadn’t really given these “blankets” a second thought. Now, dazzled by the many bright colours and eye-catch-

Friday, June 14, 2013 Lakeshore News A15

ing patterns, I walk slowly around the Shaw Centre carefully examining the quilts. Suddenly I notice one quilt hanging in the middle of a group of colourful quilts. It stands out because it is completely white. I go up close to inspect it and the tag reads ‘’whole cloth quilt, hand-quilted.’ Intrigued, I closely examine the stitching and realize that each and every stitch in the intricate pattern sewn into the quilt has been done by hand, a feat that took the creator a full year to complete. I think about my struggles when I have to sew a button on a shirt and suddenly acquire a new respect for the craft.

At another table I talk to Kathy, who is tending a table for The Sewing Basket, and she fills me in on a few more quilting terms: layer cakes, charm squares, jelly rolls. She tells me a story of a man and his wife browsing through the store, when suddenly he notices the sign that says “fat quarters” and tells his wife that she should be careful where she stands. I ask her what a fat quarter is, and she explains that fabric is usually sold in metre-long lengths, so a quarter metre would be a metre long but only a quarter metre wide and so instead they

lap quilts. On top of this there is also the donation of 10–16 quilts to the S.A.F.E. Society and victims’ services. These quilters are busy people!

Blanche explains that there are different kinds of quilts as well, some are memorial quilts and some made in recognition of an anniversary, or new addition to the family. Some of the quilters use fancy sewing

machines capable of many patterns to create their masterpieces, while others prefer to cut and sew everything by hand. Whatever method they’ve used to piece together these works of art, it was certainly a wonder to behold the quilts that the various guild members had on display at the quilt show.

Sponsors Reach New Record

for MacKenzie Camp

It’s true!

Lorraine Powell, President of MacKenzie Camp, reports that the Campership Fund now totals a whopping$10,000, which will be used to help families with the registration fees and therefore enable more children (and adults, too) to attend Camp MacKenzie this summer.

“We are approximately at the half way mark, as last year the camp sponsored 82 children through the campership fund, which required fund raising and gifts of over $22,000. Another $6000 has been committed and we still need another $5000 - $6000 of donations to meet our current needs,” said Powell. More and more children need help to come to camp.

The golf tournament featured a great dinner and yielded $3,000, to go towards the operation of the camp. Thank you to the numerous organizations who donated prizes for the golfers. The play produced

for MacKenzie Camp

It’s true!

Lorraine Powell, President of MacKenzie Camp, reports that the Campership Fund now totals a whopping$10,000, which will be used to help families with the registration fees and therefore enable more children (and adults, too) to attend Camp MacKenzie this summer.

“We are approximately at the half way mark, as last year the camp sponsored 82 children through the campership fund, which required fund raising and gifts of over $22,000. Another $6000 has been committed and we still need another $5000 - $6000 of donations to meet our current needs,” said Powell. More and more children need help to come to camp.

Lingerie shopping and horsey tales shuswapoutdoors

Ol’ Dalton slapped the dust from his faded felt Stetson and stepped from the barn. Evi, his wife, was yellin’ something at him as usual. He’s acquired selective hearing after 43 years of marriage. She was leanin’ on the gate in her cotton dress, saying if ‘n he did go to town, she needed a few groceries, and new bra. “Dang it woman, can’t you get that there attire?”

“No, just tell that gal, Sally, in ladies apparel, size 15, she’ll know.”

Firing up the old Chev, and with Willy his faithful Collie dog curled up on a hay bale, binder twine floppin’ behind, he headed for town. Sliding a tape in as he trucked on down the road, Dalton listened to Hank Snow’s song Golden Rocket, followed by Wilf Carter’s The Smoke Went Up the Chimney Just the Same.

Then, Buddy Reynold’s Ogopogo, and then Spruce Bug. Buddy cooked at the Falkland hotel and recorded some great songs.

Reaching town, he sauntered into ladies’ apparel. Embarrassed, he checked the bras. Forgetting her size – Sally said what size? Dalton sighed. “Well Sally, my hat’s

7 1/2, so make it times 2. Groceries bought, Dalton headed for the Legion.

Everyone around said he could swap lies with the best, and as it was, all the ranchers and guides were knockin’ back a few and the tales were just flying in the little cowtown. Tipping back a rum & coke, Dalton spoke of his guiding days.

Three wranglers, a cook, and him, had five nurses out to Paradise Valley in the Chilcotin in early summer. They camped in an open valley in tents, with a large tent for the young nurses. After a late evening supper around the campfire, it was time to hit the sack. At 11:00 p.m. all hell broke loose, as screams emitted from the tent, then curses.

“Dalton, bring the gun! Shoot that blasted thing!” they shrieked.

Finally, crawling from the tent and running about in the moonlight, they confronted me, all in the nude and mad as heck. What a sight! Even Willy the dog got involved and started to howl. The tent was over a colony of marmots, who by then were running in all directions.

Sauntering out into the sunlight and the

truck, he headed home to check on his first love, his horses. Bailey, his mare, was about to foal. His young niece would be there with her dad. Stopping the truck in the yard, Dalton heard her say, “Cindy Jane’s outgrown Tom Thumb, she’s selling him real cheap. He’s just a little Shetland, so he can’t cost much to keep. So Daddy can we buy him? Oh Daddy please say yes! Mummy says that she agrees, so will you too I guess. Now I’ve joined the pony club, I’m workin’ hard for ‘C’. But Tom Thumb doesn’t jump too well; it’s kinda hard for me. And we’ve heard about an Arab, a grey just 14.2 hands. He’s always winning ribbons, and Mummy thinks he’ll do. So Daddy can we buy him? Oh Daddy please say yes. Mummy says that she agrees, so you will too, I guess. So now Storm is clipped and in. He needs some rugs and lots of corn to keep from getting thin. I need boots for hunting, and black coat would be swell. Tom Thumb’s ancient saddle don’t fit Storm Cloud too well. Daddy may we buy one? Daddy please say yes.

Mummy thinks we need one, and she

should know I guess. Now Storm has had some schooling, he’s winnin’ all the time. But Heaven knows how many shows we’ve missed this summer time. So can we buy a trailer? Oh gee I hope we can. It’s more trouble ( and expensive too), to always hire a van. So can we buy a trailer? Oh Daddy pleae say yes!

Mummy says she’ll drive one, and she could I guess. Now we’ve got the trailer, to cart Storm Cloud around. But the poor ol Chev is breakin’ up with jolting on rough ground. So now we’ll have to get a larger car – Oh Heavens, was I dumb not to think of all these things, before we bought Tom Thumb!”

Be a trail steward!

It’s sometimes said to be careful what you wish for.

Local leadership has been working on transforming the South Canoe trail system just east of Salmon Arm from an unmanaged free-for-all of social trails into a sustainable recreational trail system complete with signage, cooperation between user groups, ecological protection, and improved safety. And the recent results have been nothing but impressive – revived trailhead parking area, new separated trails for equestrian and mountain biking, and signs on the way – but not without a fair share of angst.

“Overall, the work done by all the volunteers, the trail crew, and leadership from the City and the Province has received lots of positive thumbs up,” says Shuswap Trail Alliance coordinator, Phil McIntyre-Paul. But he’s quick to note it’s a work in progress, with limited resources and volunteer time.

So for some, the changes aren’t coming fast enough.

“It’s interesting,” says Phil, “it’s not until something we’ve come to assume exists is suddenly revealed to be actually quite vulnerable that we sit up and take notice. I think that’s happening for quite a few folks who enjoy these trails.”

Recent closures to several connector trails in the South Canoe system brought this bigger context to light for many trail users earlier in the spring. Due to several unauthorized trails that were built within wetland riparian areas, significant spring flooding resulted. The Provincial compliance and enforcement office had to insist the trails be closed until appropriate reroutes were planned out and sent through the appropriate channels for approval. It was stressed that to ensure the many different interests on the land are considered, including ecological, a trail requires appropriate authorization.

The Shuswap Trail Alliance has given the City of Salmon Arm, Provincial Recreational Sites and Trails, and local trail leadership the forum to implement a new recreational trail management plan for the area together. New signage for the trails is being developed with the City and Rec Sites and Trails BC, and further upgrades to the upper trails have been identified and are currently being prepared for final approvals.

The key to a great trail system is the legwork it takes on the ground to put the plans together, submit appropriate documentation for approvals, and then assemble the people and resources to actually implement the upgrades.

The next South Canoe Trail Stewards planning session is set for Monday, June 24, with a 6:30 p.m. orientation for people who are new to the project, and 7:15 p.m. full update and next step planning at the Salmon Arm Recreation Centre (Room 1, enter from back). Everyone interested is encouraged to attend.

Spread of coal dust could be minimized with covers

Many “green” type folks are all concerned over various pollutants, pipelines, etc., yet I see nobody really complaining about the filthy coal dust from the coal trains.

Years ago, there were only about 50 or so small cars in a coal train, only a few trains and the resulting dust was pretty small. Today there are more than 150 cars per train and the number of trains has increased dramatically. When the trains are going very slow, there is very little problem with the dust. But, as soon as they are up to about 15-20 mph a vacuum is produced in the tops of the cars lifting the coal dust out. The faster the train goes the more dust is sucked out of the top of the cars. Empty cars are really not much better. There is dust and coal residue in these cars and the vacuum produced by

the empty cars is greater than the full ones. Therefore the remaining coal and dust is sucked out of the cars and spread over the area on each side of the railway and expanding into surrounding areas.

If there is any wind at all, this dust is carried far and away – sometimes miles.

Now, there is a simple solution to the problem. Cover the cars. I see that the railway does cover some bulk loads (probably expensive ore) with a cover made by Eco-Fab. This appears to be a simple fiberglass cover that lifts off when dumping and put back on to return to the loading area.

So why don’t the railways do this? I think if we ask that question the answer will be cost. Well, the railways didn’t have any qualms about scrapping the old steel coal cars and opting to buy new alu-

It’s been a few years since I first obtained my driver’s licence, so I stand to be corrected, but is it not illegal to pull up on the right-hand side of a vehicle at an intersection on a single lane street or road, where there is no designated right turn lane, and turn right? It always startles me when it happens.

minum cars so why not go the next step and cover the coal cars? I am sure that over time the retained coal that will be dumped in Vancouver, instead of blowing out, will pay for the covers.

Look at their financials and the stock values. Now is the time that they are rich and can spend the money on coal car covers.

There is getting to be so much coal dust blown all over the landscape that I wouldn’t doubt if some folks living near the rail lines are going to suffer from black lung disease – no kidding.

So, how about it, you environmentalists – lets get on the bandwagon and write the railways and express our opinions. A letter to your MP and MLA wouldn’t hurt either.

Computer scam reported A Salmon Arm resident reported that while using his computer, it froze on him with a message indicating that he would have to pay $100 to the police to have his computer unlocked. This is a variation of several current online scams that attempt to convince users that they have to pay a fine for a specified offence or misuse. The public should be aware that it is a scam and not to provide any information to any unknown person(s) online.

Violent Christian intolerance?

[Regarding the letter by Professor Thomas Crowley that appeared in the May 24/13 issue of Lakeshore News] I would like to take issue with Professor Crowley’s sweeping statements about Christianity.

First, let us define what Christianity is. A true Christian is someone who is a redeemed, Holy Spirit-enabled follower of Jesus Christ and his Apostles as revealed in the New Testament Scriptures; therefore, anyone that claims to be a Christian but ignores Christ’s teachings acts on his own, and thus is outside of Christ. Biblical Christianity ceases to exist when it contradicts the New Testament revelation of Christ. Let us therefore hear Christ’s words: Luk 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

Luk 9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

Luk 9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.

Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence(here).

Mat 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

If Mr. Crowley had known what biblical Christian teachings are, he would not have linked Christ’s name to a historically totalitarian political church that contradicts Christ’s teachings. Biblical Christians have been persecuted and killed to a far greater extent by it than people accused of witchcraft. Since the time of Augustine, Donatists, Lollards, Waldensians, Huguenots and Anabaptists, among others, were relentlessly persecuted by this church. Biblical Christianity, according to Christ, does not look for an earthly political kingdom but awaits the return of Christ and for Him to establish

his Kingdom. Christians are charged, not to force people to convert but to make them aware of their rebellion against God, that they are separated from their creator, self-willed, blind enemies of God, therefore the evil in world around them is a result of their rebellion, wherefore unrepentant man is under the wrath of God. Christians are charged not to prevent people from acting upon their lusts but to point out that every man is going to have to give an account and it is not going to be pretty, but the good news is that there is a remedy by which we can be washed clean and be reconciled to God and this is only through the Anointed One of God, Christ Jesus.

Let us now look to what Darwinian Secular Humanism promises and its past track record. I am not saying that everyone who is a Darwinist will act immorally based on the logical conclusions drawn from the belief that there is no God to answer to, but some will and have in the past.

First, since there is no God, we have no one to fear or answer to. Second, we become the judge of what is right or wrong in our view. Third, since survival of the fittest (strongest) is desirable and furthers the evolution of man, it only makes sense that these fittest (the Establishment) make the rules for everyone else to live by. We don’t have to look far back to see the fruits of secular Humanism as exemplified by socialism in its various forms (National Socialism and Communism). These totalitarian systems, and the Unite(d) (the) Nations (UN) will be a future expression, are systems that will not tolerate any other views, not religious or freedom of speech, nor value life, not even that of its own adherents. Professor R.J. Rummel has calculated that the socialist governments in Germany, China and Russia have killed over 115 million of their own people in the 20th century alone.

Something to look forward to, in the not to distant future, a world without love, freedom and justice, world without God. Andy Spohr, Salmon Arm

Letters to the Editor

A balanced perspective is needed

I have been following with some interest the responses to Mr. Ligertwood’s articles regarding a creation science presentation he attended earlier this year. While I have no intention of entering into this debate, the two letters to the editor published in the May 24 issue of Lakeshore News prompted me to weigh in with an observation which is somewhat troubling to me.

As I read the article written by Evan McCallum, a 19-year-old student who identified himself as a Christian and creationist, I was impressed by the manner in which he defended his position. Although some of his information may be questioned, (for instance the Bible speaks of six days of creation, with the seventh day as a day of rest), he did express his views in a respectful manner.

I wish I could say the same about Dr. Crowley’s article. I was chagrined at the hostile and condescending manner in which he expressed his position. Those who do not share his perspective are labelled as unenlightened individuals who persist in clinging to outdated, faith-based, and unsupported beliefs. What he fails to acknowledge is that many scientists (up to 40% according to an April 1997 article entitled “Scientists Are Still Keeping The Faith” by Edward Larson and Larry Witham in the “Nature” Journal) do not reject “faith” in a God who communicates with humanity. (I would recommend a book by Timothy Keller, The Reason For God; Belief in an Age of Skepticism, especially chapter 6, “Science Has Disproved Christianity” as a balanced discussion of this issue.)

I also take issue with Dr. Crowley’s comments

Correction and apology

In the past while, there have been two events– one sponsored by Chase Community Fellowship (not Chase Evangelical Fellowship) on April 28th, and the other by The Kamloops Centre for Enquiry.

The Chase event was pro-Christianity and the other pro-atheist. Bill Ligertwood, Director for the latter organization, attended the Chase event and subsequently wrote a Letter to the Editor that appeared in the May 3rd issue of Lakeshore News.

First, the correction: Bill stated that the Chase Evangelical Fellowship hosted this event but it was the Chase Community Fellowship (CCF); close, but not the same, and we apologize to the Evangelical Free Church of Chase for any ensuing confusion.

Our apology is for not having an open Q&A session after the talk, as was advertised. This was due to CCF’s confusion on the part of the arrangements–we assumed there would be a question period after, but it needed to be arranged ahead of time, and since we did not do this, the speaker assumed we did not want it.

Al Oliver, Chairperson, Chase Community Fellowship

about creatures that, in his terms are “God’s abominations.” He has completely misrepresented what the Bible says about these creatures. The context refers to what is suitable and unsuitable for human consumption, and the point is that eagles, ravens, owls, cormorants, etc. are not to be eaten. I too love and value nature and its ecological processes, but that does not imply that I should eat the flesh of birds of prey!

Dr. Crowley also expresses a very unfortunate view of Christianity. As a teacher of History, and Church History, I am very aware of the deplorable failures of the Christian Church through the centuries. However, I think a balanced perspective might also recall some of the positive contributions made

by Christians through the centuries. When plagues struck the Roman Empire in the early centuries, it was Christians who attempted to care for the victims while others, including family members, fled to save their own lives. That “beginning” led to the development of what we today know as hospitals.

As well, our higher education system in the Western world clearly has its roots in medieval Christianity. As for “intrusive missionary activity,” it would also be well to note that much of the medical and educational knowledge now being used in those countries into which missionaries intruded, was introduced by those same missionaries. Do I need to give other example of Christians who had positive influences on their society. Has anyone heard of William Wilberforce, or Dr. Albert Schweitzer, or Dr. Paul Brand...need I go on?

I recently listened to a discussion on CBC radio about the importance of giving a balanced education to our children and youth. It seems that a balanced education should present various perspectives to allow people to make informed decisions.

I fail to see how an article such as Dr. Crowley’s meets those prerequisites.

David Follack, Salmon Arm

Graphic from www.lordsbcc.org

Agree to disagree

It would appear that the Lakeshore News, once again, has become a debate forum for creation versus evolution. My father’s work took him around the world and he raised us four kids to understand that the religion you practice is pretty much based on where you were born, that we are all people on one little planet and we should never divide ourselves along religious lines, which usually ends in grief and hatred. We raise our daughter to see it that way too.

What I see in the paper is a micro level of what’s happening on a macro level in this world, with neighbours not talking to neighbours right up to people actually killing each other over whose right and whose wrong. I’d rather stay out of it and take my chances, thank you.

Can we just all agree that we disagree and call it a day, please?

From whence our arrogance?

“Effects have causes” (Rocket science 101) Kalene Bourque is understandably distressed at “how lost we have become in our human arrogance.”

She also deplores “the continuous destruction of the natural environment” [which] ”is scientific proof that we are mind-bogglingly ignorant.” (Lakeshore News, May 31, 2013) She may well be correct, but surely she must wonder how we become (her word) and became, arrogant and ignorant in the first place? Does she think this arrogant and destructive behaviour came out of thin air!?

Action follows thoughts and beliefs, do they not? So what are the roots of our failed relationship to the Earth?

Many suggest that such Earthdespoiling behaviour has been learned historically from a dysfunctional cultural world view that puts humanity separate and ‘above’ Nature; a world view that continues to mislead us to this very day.

This is “where we are now,” Kalene, and where we are going in the future looks bleak if we don’t recognize this deeply-flawed world

Editor’s note: In the past month and a half there has been a great deal of space in this paper devoted to the creation vs evolution/Christianity vs atheism debate; a subject that occasionally arises and often raises the hackles of

hA

view, take off irrational blinders, and see Nature as it really is, how it really works–and act accordingly. Ecology and evolution are effective ‘blinder-removers’! Arrogance and ignorance can be unlearned.

For example, the most famous scientific paper in environmental literature, published almost half a century ago, attributes our environmental predicament to Western Christianity’s belief in our dominion over, and separation from, the Earth and its natural (ecological) processes and their expression through evolution. (The Historical Roots of Our Ecologic Crisis: Science, 10 March 1967: 1203-1207. Lynn White Jr., Dept. of History, University of California, Los Angeles.)

If religion has strongly shaped our history, including our sad disconnect from the Earth and its natural ecological and evolutionary processes–as seems undeniable–then it’s time for us to heed philosopher Santayana’s famous observation that “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Tom Crowley, Tappen proponents on either side of the divide.

Such debate could carry on indefinitely, and at this time the editor would like to close the subject and respectfully ask that no further letters on the matter be submitted.

CAPRICORN

Expect your schedule to become quite hectic in the next few days, Capricorn. You may want to tie up any loose ends now and use any free time to rest.

AQUARIUS

Aquarius, a burst of energy has you flying through all of those little projects that you have been putting off. Once you are done, you may have to create a new list.

PISCES

Pisces, though you feel like you have just been going through the motions, others are far more impressed than you think.

ARIES

This is a good time to overhaul your approach to fitness, Aries. If you have been thinking about scheduling a physical or getting a gym membership, do so this week.

TAURUS

Taurus, you may have a difficult time taking sides when friends ask for your help in settling a dispute. Let your friends know you prefer to stay out of the squabble.

GEMINI

Gemini, you are in need of some down time, so plan a weekend jaunt or a brief vacation to relax and recharge your batteries this week.

CANCER

It would normally be quite an effort to pull the wool over your eyes, Cancer. However, in the next few days you will be so distracted with other things that fooling you is possible.

LEO

Leo, take a few days to act foolish, throw caution to the wind and have a good time. If you don’t, there may not be another such opportunity anytime soon.

VIRGO

Virgo, the only way to get through a bumpy week is to keep your head down and your focus intense. Concentrate on the tasks at hand, and the week will be over before you know it.

LIBRA

Libra, sometimes practicality gets in the way of your imagination. Though this can sometimes be stifling, you have to find a balance between whimsy and reality.

SCORPIO

No one can put your plan into action better than you, Scorpio. Stop making excuses and really get started this week. Don’t expect immediate results.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius, you may not feel that something you did is funny, but others are bowled over with laughter. Play along so you don’t come across as a spoil sport.

OUELLETTE, Joseph Alfred “Fred” November 4, 1917 - June 3, 2013 It is with great sadness that the family of Fred Ouellette announces his passing on June 3, 2013 at the age of 95.

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

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

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

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

On line condolences may be sent to Fred’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

WESTWOLD FIRST RESPONDER FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) intends to adopt Electoral Area “L” (Westwold) First Responder Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2420, 2013 unless, by the deadline, at least 10% or more of the eligible electors residing or owning property in the proposed service area indicate that the Board of Directors must obtain the assent of the electors before proceeding.

General Description: The intent of Bylaw No. 2420 is to establish the Westwold First Responder Financial Contribution Service to fund future contributions towards the operation of a first responder program within a portion of Area “L”.

Funding for the service will be provided by requisitioning annually, under Section 803(1)(a) of the Local Government Act, a maximum of $8,000.00 or $0.077 cents per $1,000 of the net taxable value of land and improvements in the service area.

The boundaries of the Westwold First Responder Financial Contribution Service area are outlined on Schedule “A” to Bylaw No. 2420, and can be viewed at www.tnrd.ca. Click on Westwold First Responder AAP located in the Quick Links.

Elector Response Form: Elector Response must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available at the offices of the TNRD during regular office hours noted below or from the TNRD website at www.tnrd.ca. Click on Westwold First Responder AAP located in the Quick Links.

Who May Sign the Elector Response Form: Electors (resident or owner of property) within the boundaries of the Westwold First Responder Financial Contribution Service Area are the only persons entitled to sign the Elector Response Form. An elector is a person who meets the requirements and qualifications defined by the Local Government Act and will be described in detail on the Elector Response Form. The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area shall be 620. Section 86 (1) (d) of the Community Charter requires that to negate the alternative approval process, 10% or more (62 or more) eligible electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board of Directors from proceeding with the adoption of the above noted bylaw without the assent of the electors (referendum).

Deadline: The Elector Response Form must be submitted to the undersigned before 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16, 2013.

Office Hours: A copy of the bylaw and the Elector Response form may be inspected on and printed from the TNRD’s website at www.tnrd.ca, or both documents may be picked up at the TNRD office, at #300, 465 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC during regular office hours, Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Any questions may be directed to the undersigned by calling (250) 377-8673 or 1-877-377-8673 (toll free in BC).

Dated at Kamloops, BC this 31st day of May, 2013.
