B.C. wildfire season heading for a scorcher More forest already burned than in average year

ed for firefighting crews.

Fires have burned 172,227 hectares since April 1 – more than the average of 141,000 hectares burned over the previous 10 years.

“It has been quite busy,” fire information officer Navi Saini said Tuesday. “The danger ratings we saw for the last two weeks were the highest we’d seen since about 2010, which was the last busy fire season.”

In 2010, B.C. lost 337,149 hectares and spent $212 million fighting 1,673 fires.

Evacuation orders were issued for several communities that year.

There have been 652 The Mt. McAllister fire southwest of Hudson’s Hope fires so far this year burned more than 10,000 hectares. Province of B.C. and 128 of them were photo

Jeff Nagel, Black Press Wildfires in B.C. have already burned up more forest than has usually been lost in recent years, with many weeks of hot, smoky action still expect-

considered active as of Tuesday.

The provincial government has so far spent an estimated $80.7 million and more than nine times as much area has already been burned as the 18,259 hectares all of last year.

About 60 per cent of the fires so far have been caused by people – a high proportion – but Saini said that’s typical early in the season, because lightning-sparked fires tend to pick up later in the summer.

Cooler weather and rain this week is helping ease the wildfire risk in much of the province, but Saini said a high pressure ridge is expected to rebuild by the weekend, bringing a return to warm, dry conditions.

Thousands of residents were ordered evacuated due to wildfires earlier this month near West Kelowna and Hudson’s Hope, where BC Hydro dams that generate much of B.C.’s power were also evacuated but continued to operate.

Spinal decompression

When you research the various conservative options for help with spinal problems such as degenerative disc disease and disc bulges or herniations, you will find references to non-surgical spinal decompression (or simply decompression). I wanted to explain this week what is involved in this type of therapy and how it helps these conditions.

Decompression tables consist of a computerized therapy table that can be raised and lowered to the appropriate height. When doing a lumbar (low-back) decompression the person lays on the table and a comfortable belt system anchored to the table is wrapped around the chest. A second belt wraps around the low back and pelvis and is then attached to the computerized traction unit.

The clinical presentation of the patient includes body weight, spine and disc health, presence and severity of symptoms. All of these facts help our doctors determine the appropriate protocols to be programmed into the computer. Once the person is comfortable, treatment begins with the computer slowly increasing the pull until it reaches the maximum programmed weight.

Decompression can also be done in the neck; however, the amount of pull is greatly reduced and a single strap is attached below the occiput (base of the skull) to achieve the desired effect.

Depending on the condition being treated the system cycles through a series of gentle pulls and releases designed to slightly separate the bones of the spine a few millimeters. This oscillation creates a pumping action that is very beneficial to the discs. When discs are lightly stretched, a negative pressure or vacuum is created that draws essential oxygen, fluids, and nutrients, required for healing, into the disc.

When the traction releases, this pumping motion pushes out any toxins and waste products.

Another benefit of decompression is treatment of a disc bulge or herniation. The pulling motion on the disc creates a vacuum or negative pressure that has been shown to draw in and reduce disc bulges. Reducing disc bulges and separating the vertebrae provides more space for the nerves exiting the spine, and provides more room for the spinal cord inside the spine. This increased space for the spinal cord and nerves reduces nerve interference and the accompanying back, neck, and/or arm and leg pain the person may be experiencing.

We have been using the non-surgical spinal decompression table in our office for the past seven years and have seen positive results with our patients. We have helped a number of people recover and avoid previously scheduled back or neck surgeries. If you would like to learn more about spinal decompression or would like a tour of our facilities call Dr. Warren Gage at Harbourfront Family Chiropractic at (250) 8030224.

Lack of sleep

I have written in the past on how to get proper sleep. In this article, I am writing what the adverse effects on the body are due to insufficient sleep. It is considered essential to get between seven to nine hours rest a night. Studies indicate that an increased risk for disease starts when people get less than six or seven hours of sleep.

The first dangerous adverse effect is accidents. People with reduced hours of sleep have improper coordination and judgment, which increases the chances of accidents on the road or while working with dangerous machinery.

Physiological studies suggest that sleep deficit may put the body into a state of high alert, increasing the production of stress hormones and driving up blood pressure (hypertension), a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes.

Moreover, sleep deprivation is associated with changes in glucose tolerance and endocrine function

and the increased risk of Type 2 diabetes During sleep the level of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which fights cancer, increases. On the other hand, reduced sleep decreases TNF. Several studies have found that people who work at night appear to be unusually prone to breast and colon cancer. Researchers investigating the possible explanation for this association found exposure to artificial light reduces the level of the hormone melatonin, which is believed to protect against cancer by affecting levels of other hormones such as estrogen. In fact, it has been shown that blind people are less prone to cancer.

Studies have shown that lack of sleep also increases the severity of other age-related ailments such as obesity, cardiovascular function, and memory loss. Therefore, I wish you all a good night’s sleep.

Remembering Chris Lind New voice of seniors in interior BC

By Kathy Kinsella The community and wider world has lost one of its brightest and best.

Dr. Christopher Lind, an esteemed Anglican theologian, social activist, ethicist and executive director of the Sorrento Centre, died July 11 after succumbing to inoperable brain cancer.

From 2003–2006 Christopher Lind served as Director of the Toronto School of Theology, one of the largest and most diverse ecumenical theological cooperatives in North America. From 1985 until 2003 he was based in Saskatoon, first as Professor of Church & Society and then as President of St. Andrew’s Theological College. A lay Anglican, from 2000 to 2003 he also served as President of the amalgamated St. Andrew’s College and St. Stephen’s College in Saskatoon and Edmonton, sponsored by the United Church of Canada.

Dr. Lind held a Bachelor of Arts degree from York University in Philosophy and Political Science, a Master of Divinity degree from Trinity College, and a PhD in Theology from the University of St. Michael’s College specializing in Ethics and Economics. He authored or co-edited five books in the areas of Ecumenical Social Ethics, Globalization and Agriculture, Mission and Theology. He distinguished himself as an ethicist and theologian over 30 years of an academic career.

Locally, Christopher Lind was known for his engaging presence and enthusiastic vision for the future of Sorrento Centre and for the world around us. On his blog, Chris wrote: “I have had many jobs in my life.

Taken together they have formed an academic career.

However, a vocation is different from a career. It is reflected in a career but runs much deeper in one’s soul. As I reflect on what moves me, excites me and commands my attention, I see that I am passionate about transformation. I am constantly engaged in forming, reforming and transforming my self, and my relationships with the world around me. I take delight in responding to the call to bring others along on this extraordinary journey.”

His wife, Anne Elliott, and children Emily and Aaron, were by his side in hospital and hospice in Vancouver.

A memorial service will be held at Christ Church Cathedral Vancouver on Saturday, July 26, at 3:00 p.m.

Lind’s ashes will be interred in the Memorial Garden at Sorrento Centre on Sunday, August 31st at 2:30 p.m.

Those who wish to process on foot from St. Mary’s Anglican-United Church, Sorrento are invited to meet at the church at 2:30, where the community will gather to process to the Memorial Garden. Due to limited parking space at St. Mary’s, it is recommended that attendees park at the Sorrento Centre.

KAMLOOPS — The widening gap between what government thinks seniors need and want, and the services actually being delivered is the motivation behind a group of community minded individuals who are primarily seniors themselves. This enthused and knowledgeable group will work towards the strategic development of strengthening the communication between all levels of government through a strong and united voice for seniors.

“We need a nonpartisan voice that will go above grassroots organizations” says Isabelle Allen, President of the newly formed Interior BC Council on Aging Society.

Governments often take a condescending approach when it comes to the realistic needs of our aging population. Despite the volumes of research focused on what type of community services and programs can best support our senior population there has been little action reflecting the recommendations contained therein. What has developed is a large percentage of primarily volunteer based organizations struggling to deliver services and meet needs.

Services are often fragmented with minimal funding or outside support and often lack valuable communication and awareness.

“There needs to be a consolidated approach that is effective and also identifies the best use of tax dollars within individual communities and districts” says Allan.

The stated purpose of the Council on Aging is “to bring awareness to and offer possible solutions for issues affecting an aging population through research and by drawing on the knowledge & experience within relevant sections of the community.”

The Society was officially launched in March

2014. Over the coming months the Board of Directors will recruit additional members who support the purpose of the society and strengthen the organization.

For more information about the Interior BC Council on Aging please contact President, Isabelle Allen, isabelleallen@telus.net 250-3748248 or Director of Media Relations, Linda Barr, wolfgrl60@gmail.com 250-372-9876.

BERRY FESTIVAL AT TODAY’S MARKET If you read this before noon on Friday, rush over to the farmer’s market behind Centenoka for berries, music, a clown, and children’s activities. It runs till 12:30.

TO VICTORIA BY GREYHOUND BUS BUT NO NEED TO BE AN HOUR EARLY I decided not to drive but to take the bus to Victoria to visit my family last week. On Greyhound’s website I saw that Monday’s daytime schedules were filled so I decided to go Tuesday morning. The bus would leave here at 5 a.m. and in several places it said I had to be at the bus depot an hour early. That meant 4 a.m.! I printed my return ticket and booked Salmon Arm Taxi to pick me up.

I DIDN’T NEED TO BE THERE AT 4 A.M. Do you know how desolate the back of the bus depot is at 4 a.m.? I sat on one of the five plastic chairs and stared at the concrete pad where buses park. Birds were singing in the trees. I watched flies dancing in the light. The silence was broken by a freight train coming from Tappen, its steel wheels speeding along steel rails. I could see it through trees as it went by, carrying double-decker containers from China, I was sure.

SO DESOLATE AT THE EARLY HOUR At 4:30 it was silent again. Twenty minutes later another train could be heard coming from the other direction.

No, it was the same freight train going around the bay to Canoe, Malakwa, Revelstoke, Golden and then the prairies. I was alone, a grey-haired woman sitting at the back of the bus depot. I looked to my right, to the TransCanada Highway half a block away. Many semis travelled at night when grandma and grandpa were not out for a drive.

It’s 5 a.m. and getting brighter. Mosquitoes are awake.

Where is that bus? Perhaps if I stand against a post and stare at the highway, it will come. The taxi driver said the bus is never on time. There it is! It’s 5:20, a half hour late.

The scheduled arrival time is 4:55 a.m.

NEW EXPRESS BUS TRAVEL IS ECONOMICAL Greyhound Express is a low-cost city-to-city service that makes either no stops or fewer stops compared to a traditional route. Greyhound Express routes are regularly assigned new, rebuilt, or refurbished buses that are equipped with Wi-Fi, power outlets, leather seats, and extra legroom. The company eliminated overbooking on all buses in 2014.

My cost last week? A trip by Greyhound, booked to Vancouver on the website, for a senior, was $134.58 return. In Vancouver, Skytrain from the bus depot to Waterfront station for a senior was $1.75, to Bridgeport station in Richmond was $2.75, transit bus from there to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal was $2.75. The same coming home. Ferry to Sidney for a senior on Tuesday was $8.15 and returning on Friday was $16.25. Very comfortable and a pleasant way to travel.

HE’S NOT A VEGAN, HE’S A FREEGAN I met a crusader against food waste in Victoria. Sonnumber-one and I needed some eggs, and after a few emails he found some we could have from just a few doors away. Matt’s mother gave him the 13 chickens she raised for eggs, and then she left for UBC where she is studying for the ministry at age 57.

Matt is 25 and believes in living without cash. He and

four others live in a large house. Matt gets his food for free from bins in the back of stores. He is appalled at the waste. He works in the community garden at the University of Victoria without pay. He gives free talks to any group that invites him, and stresses the need to prevent food waste. We did not pay for the eggs because he simply wants people to share food. It’s how he lives. It’s what he does. He’s a freegan.

ENDERBY HOSTS PARADE OF 2,000 GIRL GUIDES On Saturday, July 19, 2,000 Girl Guides and leaders started a week of camping from their base at Enderby’s Riverside Park. My 13-year-old granddaughter was one of them. I was at her home in Victoria last week and was hardly able to lift her very heavy backpack that had all her supplies. The pack went on a truck ahead of her, after being checked to see that it contained no contraband.

Friday morning, she was up at 4 a.m. and was driven to the Girl Guide’s meeting place by son-number-two. The girls took the 7 a.m. ferry to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal where waiting school buses would take them to Enderby, and I took the 8 a.m. ferry to the transit bus that would take me to Skytrain and to the waiting Greyhound bus that would take me to Salmon Arm. Saturday at 7 p.m. I was in Enderby to see the parade through town of all Girls Guides and leaders. They were so excited! A couple of my pictures are on Facebook.

HUNDREDS WILL ARRIVE FOR HOCKEY SCHOOL Salmon Arm Hockey School begins is 35th year of operation this summer at Shaw Centre. The 10 programs begin on August 5th and end on August 28th. I’m sure you can have a great seat at Shaw Centre to watch the programs.

The annual Pro-Am scholarship hockey game is slated for August 12 at 7 p.m. in Shaw Centre. A great line-up of stars from the National Hockey League, the American Hockey League, the WHL, the BCHL and the College Ranks get together to support the Pro-Am Scholarship Game.

The school is bringing top-notch instructors for beginner to elite hockey players. Five instructors are locals who play hockey in the W.H.L., B.C.H.L. and N.C.A.A. The school is owned by three retired elite hockey players: Gord MacIntosh, Roy Sakaki and Tom Marsh. All three are still playing. Read about them on the website by clicking on Organizers. www.salmonarmhockeyschool.com. The brochure and website promote Salmon Arm very heavily.

SCOOTER STORE CARRIES VACUUM SUPPLIES After Findlay’s Vacuums closed in Centenoka Park Mall, there was a lack of vacuum supplies in town. When the scooter shop opened in that location, so many requests were made for supplies that the owner has been stocking them.

CASH SUBSIDY FOR RENTING SENIORS Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters, or SAFER, is a form of rental assistance for B.C. residents aged 60 and over who spend more than 30 per cent of their gross income on housing. Created by B.C. Housing in 1977, it currently subsidizes more than 16,000 senior households renting apartments in the private market, including singles, couples and people sharing a unit.

More seniors should know about SAFER, someone wrote on the website. Stagnating incomes coupled with gradual increases in rent prices are slowly forcing older tenants out of their homes. Seniors are slowly pressured to cut things. First they cut cable, then they cut the phone plan to basic, then they cut food and medication.

One more rent increase, and that’s it. Most people don’t like to complain, either because they are ashamed, scared or feeling hopeless, Effective April 2014, the maximum rent levels for SAFER outside Metro Vancouver are: Singles $667, Couples $727. To apply, go to www.bchousing.org and search for SAFER, or call 1-800-257-7756. First confirm your eligibility. Second, complete a SAFER application form. Third, attach supporting documents. Fourth, notify BC Housing of any changes. Then prepare to wait. Five years ago I met a person who was getting a subsidy from SAFER every month, only six dollars.

TAKE BATTERY FROM CELL PHONE FOR KIDS If you have an old cell phone, before you give it to children to play, take out the battery. The phone is not a toy unless you do that. Children may press 911 and then disconnect it. The police will call that a dropped call.

They must find who placed the 911 call.

HIKE FOR HOSPICE THIS FALL Each fall, the Shuswap Hospice Society partners with the Shuswap Trail Alliance for a series of fully guided hikes around the Shuswap. The four dates and locations have been announced. September 13 Eagle Pass.

Retirement residence celebrates a decade

Close to 200 people gathered at the Piccadilly Terrace Retirement Residence on Saturday afternoon, July 12, to celebrate the 10th anniversary.

Joining residents, their families and friends, and staff were Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper and Okanagan-

Shuswap MP Colin Mayes.

The highlight of the celebration was the official cake-cutting ceremony, performed by three residents, Evelyn Curtis, Ruth Hayden, and Klaasje van Geuns (pictured).

All three ladies are original residents of

‘The Terrace.’

“Several staff members who have been on board from the beginning can remember when we operated with a staff of 15 serving 35 residents,” says manager Jeremy Menzies. “Now there are 26 employees serving 93 residents. Staff

Investing in chickens!

We were sitting at the lunch table the other day, and my oldest son and I were discussing an investment he had made with his hard-earned money. Also sitting at the table and listening intently were the Junior Bean Counter and my youngest son Nate.

After hearing one of us mention the word “investing,” the Junior Bean Counter blurted out, “What is investing?”

“It’s what Dad does for people,” my fifteenyear-old responded.

“Well, what is it?” the Junior Bean Counter repeated.

After thinking for a while I decided to use an example that I thought they could understand.

“Let’s pretend you and Nate want to start a business selling eggs. Let’s also say it costs $1,500 to buy the chickens, buy the feed and to buy the supplies to build a chicken coup.”

“But we don’t have $1,500, Dad!” Nate exclaimed.

“Precisely!” I countered. “But let’s pretend each of you have $500 to make $1,000 and you come to me and ask to borrow the remaining $500 you need to make $1,500. However, instead of lending you the $500, we decide that I will invest in your business instead. So what that means we each now own 1/3 of the egg business.”

“Ya but… Nate and I are doing all the work and you aren’t doing anything!” the Junior Bean Counter replied.

At the same time Nate jumped in with, “I have $500 dollars?”

“OK, OK, first of all nobody has done any work yet and no Nate you don’t have $500, but let’s pretend each of us has $500 and that we all work the same amount,” I quickly explained so as to calm them down.

“So let’s continue with the story. We’ve now bought the chickens, built the chicken coup and the chickens have laid a lot of eggs. We then sell the eggs and get $3,000. So if we do all of that how much do each of us get?” I asked. “$1,000 each!” Nate replied.

“Yes, we would each receive $1,000. So we

appreciated the effort that Jeremy and his staff expended to put on the celebration, and he, in turn, is very grateful for their acknowledgement.

Especially thrilled with the day were Esther and Bill Johnson, because Esther was the recipient of the residents’ grand prize draw: a $1,500 credit towards their August rent.

yelled across the table.

“Yeah, now I’ve lost $500 because of that coyote! Why did God make coyotes in the first place, Dad?!” the little brother belted out.

“Boys, it’s okay. Give the poor coyote a break! He hasn’t done anything! I thought it would be a good example of how investing works,” I countered.

To which the Junior Bean Counter responded, “So that’s what you do, Dad? You invest people’s money in chickens and chicken coups?!”

“Oh boy,” I thought to myself, “back to the old drawing board!”

invested $500 and we ended up with $1,000” I explained.

At that point the Junior Bean Counter exclaimed, “That sounds great!”

“Yes, but let’s change things up a bit. Let’s assume we spend our $1,500 buying chickens, buying feed and building our chicken coup.

Now let’s also assume that right before the chickens lay their eggs, a coyote comes and kills all the chickens and we now lose all of our money,” I explained.

When Stephanie Higgins’ boyfriend proposed to her he said she would also be marrying ‘the Force.’

John was an RCMP officer. This turned out to be more prophetic than understated.

Stephanie and fellow Shuswap residents, Bonnie Flatla, Betty Cosens, Elaine Baird and Doris Wilson, were among a few hundred women who married RCMP officers and spent time in isolated posts.

Last fall they were among a few hundred recipients across Canada of the ‘Unpaid Second Man Award.’

“By their very presence, and out of a sense of duty and commitment to their communities, and often for their husbands’ or other member’s safety, these ‘unpaid second men’ took on significant roles in police matters,” explains Garry Loeppky, Deputy Commissioner (retired).

“Examples included guarding prisoners, dispatching members, cooking meals for prisoners, judges, and lawyers when traveling court came to the community, taking complaints, being involved in serious investigations when they became temporary guardians of children, and a host of other duties for which they were never compensated.”

The difficulty was that communications are not like they are nowadays as the radio reception extended about two miles from the office, if it worked at all. There were also situations, that for security reasons I cannot discuss, that made me realize I was required to take action as if I were a regular member of the RCMP.” Stephanie also dealt with people walking into her home as people thought it was an extension of the office.

door. The winter days were also busy for the member in charge, so answering the door, taking messages via phone and radio, plus other tasks were a common occurrence for the ‘unpaid second man,’” says Bonnie.

“The posting at this time was considered an isolated posting in the winter as there were no grocery stores or service stations in the winter season and the population within the townsite was approximately 17. There was still a lot of activity in and around the national park in the winter. Poaching happened a lot.”

TROOPER

MUFFIN

Muffin is an 8-month-old black “Hemmingway“cat, yet despite her youth and deceptively cute appearance, she already has a reputation as a highly-skilled and deadly cat ninja.

Known also as “The Black Death,” she strikes terror in the hearts of her enemies, and mercilessly disembowels all who dare enter her territory or otherwise incur her wrath. Her lightning-fast speed and absolute stealth allows her to approach undetected, and her mutant six-clawed paws of fury mean opponents have no chance of escape once the needle-sharp claws sink deep into flesh. Woe be to those who cross her path, for none shall escape, and none shall be spared.

days with fondness. They laugh at some of the things they put up with. Bonnie had to live in a condemned home for a short time after a transfer, and Doris had no indoor plumbing and had to melt snow to have a bath. Betty had to help inoculate dogs after a rabies outbreak. Her husband had to cut off the head of a dead dog to send it Lethbridge for testing. Before it got sent out, he kept it in their freezer.

But there were a lot of good times.

“We always went to the dances, it was the best way for my husband to supervise,” says Stephanie.

“We had great entertainment,” says Elaine, who happened to have cartoonist Lynn Johnston (For Better or For Worse) as a neighbour. “She and her husband were so talented – he as an actor. They would put on skits. We were isolated but we had fun.”

Bonnie remembers the socials: whist, cribbage, and dances. Neighbours brought

her berries and gave her homemade noodles.

Betty laughs as she recalls that everyone knew everything about them, even before they arrived. On the first day they got to their posting two little girls came over to play with her daughter and to invite her on an outing because they knew her daughter was in Brownies.

All these years later, and miles away from the postings where they started off on their adventures, Bonnie, Betty, Stephanie, Doris and Elaine say they’re humbled by the ‘Unpaid Second Man Award.’ [Joy Johnston, who had also been living in Salmon Arm, was given the award posthumously.] Yes, they agree it takes some strength of character to live the kind of life they did, but it was also an adventure.

“It’s just what you did,” says Elaine, “you don’t expect any kind of award. On the whole we enjoyed it.”

Blind Bay celebrates centennial

On July 18th and 19th, four community associations with centres located around Blind Bay cooperated to create a truly memorable celebration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of a post office and a school beside the tranquil bay on Shuswap Lake.

The purposes of the event was three-fold: To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the opening of the first post office and school beside the bay, acknowledge the efforts of the area’s pioneers, and introduce newcomers to the history of the area, says Bev Christensen, who co-chaired the events with Sue McCrea.

“We think we succeeded in achieving our goals and are particularly pleased with

the way the four community associations were able to work together to make this celebration so successful,” she added.

History buffs were able to improve their knowledge of Blind Bay’s history by purchasing the recently published book, Voices of the Settlers-Blind Bay compiled by Ann Chidwick and the recently re-published history of the Reedman family, In Those Days.

The two days were packed with events including a self-guided tour of historic properties, an old-fashioned tea party, an art show, concerts, historical displays, a pancake breakfast, children’s games and races, an antique car show, a beer garden and a community social and dance.

The sponsoring organizations were Blind Bay Community Association, Cedar

Heights Community Association, Notch Hill Town Hall Association, Shuswap Estates Community Association and Shuswap Estates. With a budget provided by CSRD and community sponsors, the joint committee organized Saturday’s family fun events on Centennial Field and coordinated the advertising of all the events taking place during the two days.

Clockwise from top left: Jazzlyn shows off her face paint; local band Seal Skull Hammer performs; Ann Chidwick with her book Voices of Settlers, about the history of Blind Bay; and the Reedman house was a popular stop for the heritage house tour; current owners/event hosts Bryan and Dianne Riley have lovingly preserved the home.

Veterans to commemorate outbreak of World War I

911

To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities in World War 1, and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice or dedicated their lives to the defence and security of their country, in war and in peace, a special veterans’ tribute will be held during the upcoming Okanagan Military Tattoo at Vernon’s Kal Tire Place on August 1 and 2.

Tattoos provide an opportunity for civilians to witness military precision and professionalism.

Headliners like the RCMP ‘E’ Division Pipes &

Drums, the Calgary Stampede Bank of Outriders, and the Royal Canadian Artillery Band will draw the crowds, but likely the most poignant and memorable part of the two-hour program will be the tribute and recognition of Canada’s veterans.

The Okanagan Military Tattoo is the only military-style tattoo in western Canada. For more info check out www.okanagantattoo.ca. Specially priced veterans’ tickets for the event are available at www. ticketseller.ca, or phone 250-549 SHOW (7469).

RVs camped illegally

CONGRATULATIONS!

More than 20 RV camping units camped Friday, July 18th, and Saturday, the 19th, at the Salmon Arm Recreation Centre. They were attending a swim meet hosted by the Salmon Arm Sockeye swim club. City officials were notified several days prior to the event that camping would take place on city property. The city chose to ignore this information and allowed the camping to go ahead, despite the breaking of city bylaws which do not allow camping. Many RV units were connected to gasoline operated generators which ran day and night disturbing adjacent housing.

Local campground operators were also less than impressed with the lack of enforcement of camping bylaws by the city administration.

Salmon Arm businesses that rely on seasonal tourists to earn a living, pay city taxes, and business licences to operate, hope that the city will take a stronger stand in the future with respect to RV camping on city property. Otherwise, we might start seeing RV campers at Blackburn Park or Little Mountain Field of Dreams for soccer and baseball tournaments, Marine Park for boating and WOW concerts, or at Canoe Public Beach for boating and other summer events.

How is it possible for me, or any other law-abiding property-owning resident, to ‘opt out’ of an activity that I did not ‘opt in’ to in the first place?

The vast majority of smart meter installations have been forced on homes and businesses without consultation, dialogue, long or short term research, often by trespassing when the property owner was absent, and frequently with overt threats and coercion when confronted by disgruntled homeowners.

The word “choice” is also bandied about with wild abandon by the utility and its political cheerleaders. To me a choice is something I want or prefer over something I do not want and to ‘make a choice’ would be to accept a situation with which I might feel comfortable. I do not see the government or its agency offering a choice or an alternative that is acceptable or comfortable by any stretch of one’s imagination no matter beside which box the checkmark is placed.

I am perfectly capable, as are most folks, of reading my own analog meter and either emailing on a hard-wired computer, or calling in using a hardwired telephone communicating system, the results of my careful observations. And I will not be audacious to the point of charging a fee for this task.

Democracy is a lost concept. It does not exist in Canadian politics and is not practiced anywhere in the so-called ‘free’ world. Cont’d next page

Continued from previous page Also the ‘precautionary principle’ is largely an unknown protocol and certainly not practiced in today’s economic, social or geo-political environment. It would appear, at least to this casual but interested observer, that profit and greed trump all other suits and pursuits. once whatever political entity sits in whatever legislative assembly, put there by the people it wooed and won, those people suddenly become inconsequential and are lumped in with ‘the forgotten’ never to be considered again...until the next election.

Arts happenings

August is alive with four exciting events and exhibitions downtown at the Salmon Arm Art Gallery.

Paint the Town: The Artists’ Studio On Saturday, August 9, local artists will hit the streets of downtown Salmon Arm to create works in their chosen media. Painters, potters, weavers and mixed media artists will be on Hudson Avenue and Alexander Street from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on that day. The public is welcome to stop and talk with the artists and learn about their process. These artists will have a working studio inside the Art Gallery that will be open to visitors for the entire month of August. Transforming the gallery into a workspace is no small feat, but it’s an exciting opportunity to watch artwork grow and change over time. The artists will continue to work on their pieces throughout the exhibition.

Art in the Attic In a small corner of the Art Gallery, one can peruse previously loved works of art and bid on them in the silent auction. These works will raise funds for a community art storage unit. It is important to the Arts Council that the community art collection is protected, and therefore a climate controlled room is being renovated to store the work. There are 25 works available for sale, and the silent auction runs August 9 to 16.

Paint the Festival On August 15 and 16 at the Roots & Blues Festival, twelve local artists paint en plein air amongst the music, energy and crowds. They work on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm, and festival-goers can stop by and check out the artistic process. The works are then on display at the Art Gallery from August 20 to 30.

Culture Crawl Downtown Salmon Arm businesses are paired up with visual artists to provide a self-guided walking tour of 25 local art ‘galleries.’ The crawl begins Saturday, August 2 and continues to the end of the month. A map brochure is available at the Art Gallery and the Visitors Centre.

More information on all these events can be found on the website www.salmonarmartscentre.ca. Follow them on Facebook or Twitter.

Dancer wins award

Salmon Arm-raised Nathan Fadear is this year’s recipient of the Salmar Award of Excellence.

A student of Just for Kicks dance studio, Nathan is a modern dancer who has had a short but busy career in entertainment so far. As a grade 12 student, he worked at the Sunnybrae Bible Camp, and after graduating in June 2009, spent a month in Guaymas, Mexico to volunteer in the relief efforts for the local people after a major hurricane. He was chosen to participate in the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, and performed in the Poland International Dance Festival in 2011.

Following this, he was employed by Princess Cruise Lines to perform in the new inaugural cast of Princess Cruises World Cruise Show, a gig that lasted two years.

Nathan went on to join the Lux Dance Company in Vancouver. Nathan is still performing in large and small venues for Lux, as well as participating in music and dance videos.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Enderby Arts Festival this weekend

Elvis rocks Notch Hill Hall

Elvis fans received a huge treat last Friday night when Elvis impersonator Adam Fitzpatrick took centre stage and sang to a sold-out crowd for two and a half hours! As part of the Blind Bay 100 celebrations, Fitzpatrick performed at Notch Hill Hall and thrilled the audience with memorable Elvis songs Jailhouse Rock, Love Me Tender, Bridge Over Troubled Water (written by Paul Simon) and many more classics.

Adam Fitzpatrick has just returned from winning top honours at Europe’s Tribute to Elvis Festival

and Championship held in early July in Blackpool, England, beating out 22 other competitors for the title; and from Vegas, for the Las Vegas Elvis Fest; and is on his way to Memphis in August for the World’s Best Ultimate Elvis Contest.

A memorable moment of the evening came when ‘Elvis’ sang to 106-year-old Lena Johnston, and gave her a special silk scarf!

Notch Hill Hall looks forward to many more special occasions.

Wildfire and climate change

A spellbinding book has been written about the Okanagan Mountain Park fire back in August 2003, when Kelowna’s holocaust occurred. This article, however, is about the Chase wildfire. There was to be a documentary film about the aftermath, to be produced by an affiliate of the BBC. The producer wanted it to be shown to the British public. So on a hot, still smokey morning at Neskonlith Lake, above Chase, I met the film crew. They had cameras mounted on a small pickup, so were highly mobile. My job was to take them to specific sites where the fire had swept down to the high clay bluffs on the east side, along the South Thompson River to Pritchard. But most importantly, we were to visit the family who spent a horrific night clinging to a 16 foot canoe and a couple of empty jerrycans out in the lake one night during the fire. Bats swirled overhead,

shuswapoutdoors

by Hank Shelley and moose and bears swam past them, their fur singed by the fire, while waves battered them, created by the intense firestorm above.

Later, their vivid story was printed in Reader’s Digest Magazine. As the fire subsided along the eastern shoreline, they spotted headlights over on the west shore of the lake–a friend out searching for them.

More and more, we realize that the present wildfires are fuelled by a rising global climate, but we also know that 70% are human-caused, such as by a discarded cigarette as in the Barriere fire, or failing to douse and stir a campfire.

But, a few weeks previous, at 6:30 a.m, while driving to Kamloops to the farmer’s market, with a load of melon and cantaloupe from Berkholts’ Armstrong farm, I spotted smoke coming from a small gully across the river.

Later, a crew arrived, attended the fire, then left for the night. We all know the consequences of what happened after that.

After doing an interview with the family whose home was miraculously saved as the fire swept through their yard, we left, then spotted a small cinnamon bear, his paws badly burnt. Now, overlooking the large alfalfa fields below us, we spotted three bears. Telling the film crew to hurry, we were fortunate enough to have two come to a stop in front of us. They were stressed, with their tongues hanging out, and their fur badly singed. These bears were the lucky ones. It’s difficult to imagine how many other animals of various species must have perished in the fast-moving flames. Pilots flying over the fire zone reported having observed whole trees exploding from the ground into the air. Driving through the blackened, charred hillside, one could see gaping holes where large fir/pine trees once stood. As well, an unfortunate aspect of animal behaviour is that they think it safe to dash back into the fire.

Three fire seasons ago, a major wildfire was closing in on the town of Lillooet. High on the jagged cliffs above the Seton spawning channel stood a number of mountain goats, with the searing heat of the fire closing in. With the fire leaping toward them, their hair singed, they leapt into the super-heated air, falling to their death on the jagged rocks below.

Salmonids and trout find it difficult to survive in warm, oxygen-depleted waters through natural or wildfire-induced action. Doing an angler compliance check at Cooke Creek on the Shuswap River as dead whitefish/trout floated downstream by the hundreds one very warm August morning, I observed all the chinook salmon at the mouth of the creek, taking in the cold oxygenated water while anglers stood over them. With a major wildfire, their trouble would begin the following spring, when soot, ash, and burnt cinder entered their stream, from burnt, denuded hillsides. To find cool, clean water in order to survive, trout and salmon swim down from the upper level water, called the epilimnion (warm) level, to the littoral or colder middle zone. The dark, cold zone is the hypolimnion.

A cooling trend is on the way, so fish can move back up to the littoral zone and may even make some anglers happy. Please, be real careful when out and about, as we don’t need any wildfires in our beautiful Shuswap!

She is survived by her sister, Florence Larson, and brothers, Bruce Larson, Glen Larson, and Cort Larsen as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her special friends, Alan and Bev Ross, and their children, Alison and Bradley.

We will miss her immensely.

Family always came first with Mom. She worked hard all her adult life to make a loving and caring home for all of us and even though she did without any modern conveniences, she never complained. Mom grew a huge garden, preserving vegetables and canning fruit every year. She was a master bread baker, starting at age eleven and continuing on into her ninety-first year, and made cookies and Welsh cakes by the dozens for not only her family but also for many neighbours and friends.

Mom enjoyed watching sports, especially those in which a grandchild was participating.

She was the number one fan of everyone in the family and attended baseball, soccer and basketball games as long as she was capable. When she could no longer attend games, she watched them streamed live on the computer. She was also a lifelong fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and she liked to watch curling and figure skating.

Mom loved flowers and maintained her own little flowerbed at her home up until September, 2013. She enjoyed feeding ‘her’ birds and went through a lot of sunflower seeds every winter and sugar for the hummingbirds every spring.

The Sunnybrae community meant a lot to Mom. Over the years she organized Christmas concerts, ball games, bake sales, swim lessons and card parties. She was delighted when so many people attended her ninetieth birthday tea last year and although she was disappointed when she couldn’t attend the Sunnybrae/Tappen “Moms and Daughters tea” in June of this year, she enjoyed hearing in detail about the people who did attend.

Mom was an avid, but never competitive, Scrabble player. If her ‘opponent’ seemed to be stuck, she would lean forward and say, “What have you got?” She would then proceed to peruse her opponent’s letters and come up with some amazing word. For Mom it was always a challenge to get the best score possible, both for her and her Scrabble playing companions. With her capable and alert mind, Mom was able to play Scrabble up to two days before her death.

The family would like to extend a huge thank you to Karen and Glen for supporting Mom, first in her home and then in theirs, these past years; and to Sandra and Sylvia for their compassionate care of Mom during her final days. A sincere thank you is also extended to Dr. J. Atchison, Dr. M. Dyer and to the staff at Shopper’s Drug Mart, particularly Blane Ready, for their support at this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, Mom has requested that donations be made to Vancouver Children’s Hospital in her memory. A celebration of Mom’s life will take place at the Sunnybrae Community Hall at a later date.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischers Funeral Services. 250-833-1129 Online condolences and memories can be sent through Mom’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

CAPRICORN

Capricorn, express yourself when asked for your honest opinion this week. Keeping things close to the vest is not what people want to see, so don’t hesitate to offer your insight.

AQUARIUS

Trust your intuition in a sticky situation, Aquarius.

Panicking will only make the situation more complicated, so allow your instincts to take over.

PISCES

The time has come for you make your move, Pisces. You’re fully capable of making this transition and more than ready to do so.

ARIES

Aries, you have had little luck regarding relationships of late. Rather than focus on what hasn’t gone your way, change your perspective and focus on the good things.

TAURUS

Taurus, you can be pretty stubborn when it comes to something that matters dearly to you. No matter your feelings, try to behave in a diplomatic manner.

GEMINI

Gemini, be a shoulder to cry on for a beloved friend or family member this week. Everything will ultimately work out for the best, but your loved one needs support this week.

CANCER

Be mindful of what you say and do this week, Cancer. Your head may be telling you to speak up, but your heart is telling you to stay quiet for a little while longer.

LEO

Leo, enjoy the noisiness around you this week.

This extra hop in your step is refreshing and encourages you to make some bold moves that will pay off in the long run.

VIRGO

Virgo, address an issue with a clear head this week. Your advice has been solicited, and you know how to help, but some subtlety is a good thing in this situation.
