There are more seasonal threats to B.C. forests than wildfires.

This year, cedar trees in the entire Interior Cedar Hemlock Zone, which stretches from the Cariboo south to the U.S. border, have suffered extensively from drought.

Chase resident Bob Mason, 87, was driving the back roads from Chase to Salmon Arm with Al Dickson, former neighbour and longtime hunting and fishing buddy.

“We just happened to start seeing it from the side of the road; it shows up quite strongly,” he says of rusty coloured cedar trees. “It just didn’t look right to us.”

And Mason and Dickson, who brought samples of dying cedar branches to the Market News office, had reason to be concerned.

This area is generally wetter than the other ecosystems, says Tim Ebata, forest health officer with the Resource Practices Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

He says that while cedars look like they have suffered insect or disease damage, “flagging” is a common response to summer drought.

But Ebata points out there was more damage than just the flagging, as a lot of dying needles starting at the top of the tree moving down were seen by the aerial survey contractor, whereas typical flagging is from the centre of the tree out-

Most trees expected to survive

Continued from front wards.

“So, really, all of this damage points to signs of severe moisture stress,” he says.

“Oddly, the spring was very wet and cool but it followed an unusually cold winter, so this set of events may have also contributed.”

Ebata explains that when cedars become drought-stressed they try to shed the old needles, with flagging starting closer to the main stem of the tree.

“The cedars have really taken a beating this summer; generally they will survive,” he said. “The tree will continue to grow, but it will have to form a new lead. One of the lateral branches will try to take over.”

Ebata says in larger cedars, dead tops don’t usually affect log quality. But, if the damage is farther down the tree, it could affect the length and thereby quality of the logs.

While it is premature to lay the blame on global warming, Ebata has never witnessed such widespread damage.

“It (flagging) has happened in the past,

but I don’t remember it being this severe over my 10 years,” he says, noting his department is continually monitoring the province’s forests. “It’s hard to says if it’s a harbinger of climate change, but it definitely is unusual.”

Ebata says there is nothing that can be done for the trees and if the pattern continues, forest officials will have to look at changing planting practices to a more drought-hardy species.

Estimates of the numbers of hectares of cedars affected by the drought will be compiled and available early in December at www.for.gov.bc.ca/ hfp/health/overview/ overview.htm.

“It’s too early to tell if it will affect forest companies because we don’t know what’s happened with newly planted seedlings,” says Ebata. “Forest companies will figure that out with their own surveys.”

Ebata points out that owners of cedar hedges might try to trim the top of affected cedar hedges. He says cedars will likely recover – as long as they are not subjected to another severe drought.

BCTF recommends deal

Schools: Opening date announcement expected today.

By Tom Fletcher BlaCk PrEss

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive is recommending its members accept a sixyear agreement to settle its strike and impasse with the provincial government.

BCTF president Jim Iker said Tuesday the tentative agreement provides for “hundreds of new teachers” as well as raises for regular and substitute teachers and improved extended health benefits.

The agreement also includes “a mutually agreed process to address any future court decision,” with the government’s appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court decision on class size and composition set to go to appeal in October, he said.

Iker said one aspect of the union’s court victory in January is dealt with in the ten-

tative agreement. A lump-sum payment to BCTF members for “retro-grievances” as a result of the changes to working conditions will be made if the deal is ratified.

BCTF members were to vote on Thursday on the six-year agreement.

The results were not available at press time.

With some districts scheduled to have a professional development day on Monday, Iker would only say classes will resume “some time next week.”

Mediator Vince Ready announced the breakthrough early Tuesday morning, after five days of talks at a Richmond hotel. The teachers’ federation and the province’s negotiators agreed to withhold details until a final document was ready to present to BCTF members and school trustees.

The province’s 60

school districts are attempting to return to regular classes next week after five weeks of full-scale strike action that began last June.

Premier Christy Clark said if the vote passes, schools will be up and running again as early as Monday.

She thanked parents for their patience as the strike dragged into the fall, saying a negotiated settlement was the only way to improve a relationship that has been dysfunctional for 30 years.

“We’ll have five

years to talk about the things that really matter, and that’s children in classrooms,” Clark said in Vancouver Tuesday.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said a plan is being developed to make up missed instructional days, which could involve rescheduling Christmas holidays, spring break or adding days to the end of the school year. Every student’s education will be “kept whole,” particularly senior high school students looking ahead to post-secondary studies, he said.

Bushman enters politics

Election: Former fugitive seeks to lead Williams Lake.

BLACK PRESS

The race for mayor in Williams Lake could be interesting, particularly now that the former Bushman of the Shuswap has announced he plans to run.

John Bjornstrom, 54, said Tuesday he wanted to run in 2011, but missed filing his papers in time. He doesn’t intend to make that mistake this time around.

Bjornstrom was in the news more than a decade ago when he was a fugitive on a two-year run from police after stealing from cabins in the Shuswap Lake area.

Mounties finally arrested him in November 2001 after posing as members of a documentary film crew.

Bjornstrom was later sentenced to 23 months of house arrest after he pleaded guilty to

charges including breaking and mayoral race as an adventure. entering.

Group lobbies for wi-fi free schools

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A request to have one elementary, middle and secondary school in the district kept free of wireless technologies will be left to percolate with School District #83 trustees.

Representatives from Citizens for Safe Technology attended last week’s board meeting

and made the request for wi-fi-free schools that would be equipped with only hard-wired technology, as well as asking for the district to hold a public forum to explore the issue of electrosensitivity.

Spokesperson Lori Onsorge said there is emerging research showing considerable health risks associated with the use of wireless

The group left information for the trustees to review and the board will now consider the request and update the situation at a future meeting.

Car burns in suspicious blaze

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A burned out car has caught the attention of the RCMP. Salmon Arm Fire Department assistant chief Jim Nickles says the car that was found burning in the forest about 10 to 15 feet off the road in the 1400

block of 60th Avenue NW. “There were no plates, no occupants; it’s a little suspicious to have a car upside down off the road,” said Nickles, noting the fire department was dispatched at 8:25 a.m.

Monday, Sept. 15.

“When it went off, we do not know and

the cause is unknown,” he said. “This was going good in amongst the trees.”

Nickles says Hall 3 and 4 responded and quickly extinguished the blaze that destroyed the interior of the 1993 Buick Sentra. The incident was handed over to the RCMP for investigation.

Campbell shares blame in strike

It appears the B.C. Teachers Federation strike may be at an end.

It is easy to blame the provincial government, or the union for the toll this labour dispute has had on both students and parents. However, the real architect of this unmitigated disaster for students and parents is former premier Gordon Campbell.

Policies enacted during his government’s first term, when he had a 75-seat majority in the provincial legislature, led directly to this situation.

The BCTF likes to blame Premier Christy Clark, who for much of the Campbell government’s first term was education minister. However, she was not the developer of education policy. Campbell, a former teacher, was. He was well-known to be a micromanager, and he had pronounced views on what was wrong with the education system and how to fix it.

The BC Liberals’ “New Era” campaign document, which they brandished as they went into the 2001 election, states, “The NDP’s rigid ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to education has hurt students, forced schools to cut services and diverted program funding to government-imposed labour contracts.”

The “government-imposed labour contracts” referred to is a contract the BCTF brokered with the province under the Glen Clark NDP government.

That contract contained fixed class sizes, and was imposed on school districts against their will. Campbell decided the contract had to be changed, so his government removed portions of it unilaterally, taking out class size limits. That is the contract that Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin twice ruled was illegally altered by the government.

Given that contract-breaking is unconstitutional, it is time to acknowledge that the Campbell government went too far. The provincial government would be far better off to come to an agreement with the BCTF on class size and composition and drop its appeal of Griffin’s decision.

OpiniOn

Pretty well prepared for anything

Before I was counting the days, now I am counting the hours until I head off for a week of fishing, reading and relaxing.

Let’s see, plenty of food, a good selection of autumn fly patterns, socks, underwear, sweater, my lucky navy blue Eddie Bauer corduroy shirt, tooth brush and tooth paste, rainwear, longjohns, a six-pack of Cokes in those little glass bottles, a bottle of Kahlua and a couple of good books to read – I think I’m pretty well prepared for anything and everything.

Last week I cleaned my fly lines and checked my leaders and tippets to make sure there were no ‘wind knots’ left over from my last fishing trip.

Speaking of which, last fishing trip I went to load my electric trolling motor into the vehicle only to remember that I’d forgotten to charge the batteries. But not this time. I put them onto a trickle charger the other day and they are both fully charged and ready to go.

I use two, deep-cycle batteries so that when I am gone for several days, I can have one charging at the cabin while I am out fishing with the other.

In the past, I admit I have also, upon occasion, neglected to clean out the cooler and put the ice-packs back in the freezer. Having said that, I’m probably not the only person who has gone to put food and drinks in the cooler, only to open it and see their ice-packs sitting there at the bottom at

room temperature. But not this time. The cooler is spotless and the ice packs are in the freezer. I only hope I remember them when I go to pack my groceries.

Matches, a bundle of newspapers and some fire starter. I’ve already put several packs of matches in one of the pockets of my fishing vest and a couple more in my tackle box. I even put matches in my first aid kit, which is another thing that

Salmar celebrates 65 years

By Barb Brouwer

markEt nEws staff

Let the party begin.

Over the past 65 years, the Salmar Community Association has brought the world of entertainment to Salmon Arm and given more than $1 million back to the community it serves.

“We reached that number sometime in the summer,” says Salmar manager Daila Duford.

No longer the only community-run theatre organization in Canada, Salmar is the first and has since helped three other communities start their own operations.

The association was formed in 1946 for the purpose of building an arena as a memorial to local veterans of the Second World War. It was decided to build a movie theatre to raise the necessary funds and the brand new Salmar Theatre (now the Salmar Classic) opened for business in May of 1949. Monies from theatre operations were used to build the Salmon Arm Memorial Arena which opened in 1958.

“All profits go back to the theatre or the community; it doesn’t go into anyone’s pocket,” says Duford, handing out high praise for her directors – current president Patti Munro, Gary Brooke, Chris Letham, Jim Downs, Bernd Hermanski, Joan Sholinder, Georgia McLeod, John Henderson and Brian Sansom.

“The board is incredible – they’re all volunteers, they come from every walk of life, and they just work so well

together,” Duford says.

“Everything I have learned about business, I have learned from my board. They are very supportive, open to my ideas completely and 100 per cent they will help in whatever I ask for.”

Duford says being backed by such a strong team gives her confidence in her business dealings. It is a business that has changed a great deal in the last six or seven years with the economic downturn and the switch to digital films.

“It marked huge changes for all theatres and a lot of them didn’t make it through the changes,” Duford says.

“Popular opinion out there was independents wouldn’t make it, but we’re definitely proving them wrong.”

Switching to a digital format has not only allowed Salmar to keep up but also to bring special productions from the world of ballet and opera.

Looking ahead, Duford shares her enthusiasm and excitement about upcoming events.

Salmar’s 65th anniversary will be celebrated in fine fashion Sunday, Sept. 21, beginning with a free family showing of The Nut Job at 10 a.m. at the Salmar Grand. From noon to 3 p.m., the Grand’s parking lot will be filled with free family fun, complete with a bouncy house, crafts, facepainting and games and performances by Liz Blair at 12:30 p.m. and The Elk Tribe at 2:30.

“We’re trying to fill a large box for the local food bank and anyone who brings non-perishable food will be entered to win prizes such as movie passes and free pizzas,” says Duford, noting staff members will be dressed in troll costumes to mark the Sept. 26 arrival on-screen of The Box Trolls.

In another exciting first for the community, Salmar has partnered with the art gallery to present documentaries on the lives and art of three exceptional painters – Manet on Monday, Sept. 29, Munch on Monday, Oct. 27 and Vermeer on Monday, Dec. 21.

Council considers re-zoning

Support JANET GREEN Federal Conservative Candidate Nominee “For a strong voice in Ottawa”

Former Jackson site: Commercial designation sought.

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAff

City council is supporting the proposed rezoning for the JL Jackson property that will make two schooldistrict owned lots commercial properties.

The application includes the Downtown Activity Centre (DAC) site.

Last week, council gave first and second readings to applications for an official community plan amendment, and related zoning changes for two lots on the JL Jackson site: Lot 4, a 1.73-hectare area on sites north end and Lot 2, the 0.4-hectare portion where the DAC is located.

A public hearing is the next stage for the proposed changes being sought by School District #83.

The OCP amendment involves striking language that binds development to the “Old JL Jackson School Site Development Guidelines,” driven and developed by the community following a failed development application by Loblaws in 2006. The rezoning applications are to change both lots from P3 Institutional to C2 Town Centre Commercial Zone.

A staff memo states the C2 zoning “matches many of the current uses on the subject properties and also would facilitate opportunities for future commercial and other forms of development.”

It also notes the DAC building, the site of the former Salmon Arm Elementary, was added to the city’s heritage registry in 2012.

At a prior development and planning meeting, both Couns.

Chad Eliason and

All we’re asking is fine, zone it so it’s basically consistent with the vision you’ve already set.”

Couns. Debbie Cannon and Marg Kentel argued in favour of the rezoning, with Kentel stating that when it

“To me this is an important piece of heritage and an important building within the community in Salmon Arm.” -Coun. Chad Eliason Denise Reimer were apprehensive about rezoning lot 2. With Reimer absent from the council meeting, only Eliason spoke against the change, stressing the importance of the site to the community and suggesting public input might be prudent.

“To me this is an important piece of heritage and an important building within the community in Salmon Arm,” said Eliason.

“Before anything happens to it, I think the community would also like to have some input on it.”

However, school district treasurer Sterling Olson argued the lots are already designated “City Centre” in the OCP and this designation supports the proposed C2 zoning.

“In the OCP, it sets the vision for the land use,” said Olson. “This is clearly intended to be city centre commercial.

comes to developing Lot 2, whoever is serving on council at that time will “certainly hear about it.”

“And while there might not be the teeth in it that there is if you didn’t include it (in the rezoning) now, the school district is a citizen along with the rest of us and I’d like to think that they will listen,” said Kentel.

Regarding Lot 4, Olson said the school district will be looking to “dispose of that” some time in the next four years.

As employees of the school district, Couns.

Alan Harrison and Ken Jamieson excused themselves from the debate due to conflict of interest.

Despite his concerns, Eliason voted with council in support of both applications moving to public hearing.

Are you someone who likes having conversations with people from other countries?

If you answered “yes” to either question, Okanagan College has a program that you may enjoy.

The English as a Second Language Settlement Assistance Program (ESLSAP) is free for eligible newcomers to Canada. It is designed to help newcomers improve their English language skills and learn about our community.

The program has

three main components: weekly English practice groups with an ESL instructor, field trips and one-to-one English conversation with volunteer tutors from our community.

This combination helps learners to practice English and learn about Salmon Arm and Canada, while interacting with members of the community in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Volunteer tutors are an essential part of this program. Tutors and learners meet weekly at times and locations that are suitable for both. Tutor training and support is provided by

Okanagan College.

The second reason for the march, Bell says, “is to join with literally millions of people around the world who will be marching just before the world’s political leaders meet at the United Nations in New York to discuss these very issues.”

He adds that Stephen Harper has displayed indifference to climate change.

“He makes occasional mention of climate change but only in passing and the actions of his government in aggressively promoting fossil fuel extraction and production suggest that he either denies its reality or is indifferent to the effects it will

Salmon Arm is joining the world in urging international leaders to get serious about climate change.

The community will be among 750 organizations around the world that will stage marches and rallies on Sept. 20 in advance of the United Nations Climate Summit 2014 in New York City on Sept.

23.

Warren Bell, who is spearheading organization of the local march, said the goal is twofold.

One reason, he says, is “to draw attention to the fact that global warming is taking place, it’s accelerating and it’s producing widespread changes that are having economic and social impacts on many parts of the world.”

n Canoeists paddle across the pristine surface of Hunakwa Lake. and attend countless meetings until the landuse planning process began that eventually resulted in provincial park status. We visited the area many times and brought in community leaders, provincial conservationists, photographers and reporters.

In 1992, we blazed a trail from the east side Seymour Arm, past Wright Lake, over the hills and down to Hunakwa Lake. The plan was to create a hiking trail that connected two arms of Shuswap Lake and would provide a wilderness tourism opportunity for boaters.

That trail remains a distant dream, as BC Parks remains a low priority for the provincial politicians and there is never funding in the budget for new infrastructure or even staff.

The only way to access the lake with a vehicle is through private land on an extremely rough 4x4 track that was bulldozed through in the 1960’s to help fight a forest fire. A plan does exist to provide public access that would create a small parking lot a few kilometres away to allow

for recreationists to bring in their canoes or kayaks. But once again, the lack of funding is the main obstacle.

Our day on the lake was magnificent. The silence was only broken by the calls of loons and the distant honks from three trumpeter swans.

The level of the lake was quite high for this time of the year, which made landing difficult.

We pulled into the end of the lake where the trail from Anstey Arm ends to have our lunch and I admired the oldgrowth red cedar trees, many of which are culturally modified from bark stripping done hundreds of years ago by the Secwepemc people who camped and wintered there.

There is a small island at the south end of the lake, where eagles often roost. And at both ends of the lake there are extensive wetlands that provide a refuge for wildlife. Another key feature of the park are the giant old-growth Douglas fir trees, as so few remain at this low elevation due to more than 125 years of extensive logging. From our canoes, we tried out

the amazing echo with our voices, and no wonder, as Hunakwa means echo in the Secwepemc language.

There are still small stumps from the only logging around Hunakwa that occurred during the 1930s, when cedar poles were taken out likely during the winter. Beginning in 1878, Francis Anstey also logged the hills adjacent to the arm that was later named after him.

He had a camp there and made shakes and shingles. Plus booms of logs were towed all the way to the Shuswap Mill in Kamloops.

Someday, hopefully, BC Parks and perhaps the Shuswap Trail Alliance will work with other groups to provide access to allow the public to experience and to better appreciate the real jewel of the Shuswap, Anstey Hunakwa Provincial Park.

The full story of how this park was created will be available in the soon-to-be published book by Deanna Kawatski, Big Trees Saved, and other Feats – The story of the Shuswap Environmental Action Society.

It is one of the Shuswapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly special places. Hunakwa Lake lies in the low valley between the Anstey Arm of Shuswap Lake and the small community of Seymour Arm, and is the centerpiece of the 6,853-hectare Anstey Hunakwa Provincial Park. Last weekend, we canoed around the sixkilometre long wilderness lake and were fully absorbed by its pristine serenity, rich wildlife habitat and the amazing views of the distant hills and mountains.

It was more than 20 years ago that the campaign began to protect Hunakwa Lake and the surrounding forested hillsides, including the ecologically rich Wright Lake near Seymour Arm. Our first visit to the lake was via the three-kilometre long BC Parks trail from Anstey Arm, and we were most impressed by the massive cedar trees and the sight of a large lake with no signs of human activity. But back in the early 1990s this wilderness area was at threat from road building and logging.

Under my leadership, the Shuswap Environmental Action Society worked long and hard to resist the logging plans, raise public awareness

Governance doesn’t stop in summer

FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes Summer is all but over and I am back in Ottawa for the start of the Fall Session of Parliament. I would like to update you on some good events and announcements made in our riding during the summer recess.

In July, I was part of the announcement about the Malakwa Bridge four-laning and three kilometers of the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) east of the Bridge. This project is another step toward the ultimate goal of the TCH four-lane from Alberta to Kamloops.

Our government, in

budget 2014-15, also committed more than $100 million to upgrading the TCH in Glacier National Park.

In Kamloops, during the month of August, the Minister of Justice, the Hon. Peter MacKay, held a roundtable on justice. The prime topic of the discussion was focused on our government’s Victims Bill of Rights Act. It was a great opportunity to hear from constituents their appreciation of our government’s support for victims of crime.

We also heard from a representative from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), wherein the minister informed the roundtable that he is working on a new act that will focus on impaired driving due to alcohol and drugs.

Germany has developed a drug-testing tool that can detect most drugs and will likely be used in Canada by enforcement authorities.

If you fish for salmon in B.C. you are aware that you need to purchase salmon conservation stamps for each fish you are allowed to catch. In the past, revenue from salmon stamps was collected by the Government of Canada, and a portion was allotted to the Pacific Salmon Foundation. The Foundation used their portion of the stamp revenue to improve salmon habitat, study the life cycle of salmon and fund salmon-related research. The Foundation approached the B.C. Conservative Caucus requesting that all the revenue from the stamp be used to expand their good work.

Our ministers of finance and fisheries and oceans listened and, in the 2014-15 budget, all salmon stamp revenue was directed to fund the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

In our riding of Okanagan-Shuswap

we received $95,000 for various projects.

The actual announcement of the projects will be released on Oct. 5.

It was a great summer and I am always happy to be home with my family. It was also great to celebrate the investments your government in Ottawa is making in our riding.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Take the time to rest With all this talk about the importance of seniors exercise, mind fitness and how movement relieves pain, what is a personal trainer doing advocating REST? Well, it is quite important to have a balance of both!

You sleep better at night if you have had some exercise thru the day, and if adding light to moderate exercise to your daily regime is a new thing, then don’t feel bad about taking a mid-afternoon nap.

We think clearer, eat better and have a more positive outlook when we are rested, so take 15 minutes after lunch or around mid af-

ternoon and take a break!

Try closing your eyes in a cool dim room and take your thoughts completely off daily tasks, business items and your to do list. This can refresh you and help you make it thru the day. Or, take a cup of tea and turn the TV off and spend 10 to 15 minutes totally unplugged to regenerate!

It takes energy to complete activities of daily living; walking, shopping, doing the stairs and carrying groceries requires the use of your muscles and your balance. If you are fatigued, you run the risk of falling or straining muscles.

Consider the idea of moving in to seniors housing while you are still able to take care of yourself.

Group living envi-

r o n ments can be a huge benefit to those w h o give it a chance, by taki n g the big tasks of daily life out of the equation, such as yard work, cooking and housework.

This leaves you more energy to do the things you like, such as attend exercise classes like yoga or square dancing.

(That is the recommendation from the personal trainer!)

The worry about eating balanced meals is looked after

and you can focus all your ENERGY on giving your best to the people around you—instead of looking to them for help. You will have time to sort thru all those old photos, and volunteer at the church or travel! without the burden of having to take care of the house and the grocery shopping too.

And then you can take time to rest.

Christina Lutz is a Certified Personal Trainer with a ‘fetish’ for Seniors and leads exercise classes for Senior citizens and those of any age with arthritis and osteoporosis.

Be open to fresh air when indoors (NC) Clean air is essential for good health. As Canadians, we spend close to 90 per cent of our time inside, so the quality of our indoor air is particularly important. If you’re cleaning or tackling a home improvement project, you may be using products that contain chemicals that can be released into the air, such as

cleaning products, paints and varnishes or glue.

Good ventilation is very important whenever you are using products containing chemical substances, especially if they are labelled with warning symbols.

Tips for safe and effective cleaning: Remember to bring in fresh air whenever possible. This will

help reduce pollutants that can accumulate to levels that might pose health and comfort problems.

Clean regularly to eliminate dust and dirt. Breathing in dust can create breathing problems or worsen an existing respiratory condition.

Use kitchen and bathroom fans vent-

ed outside to help remove pollutants directly from the rooms where they are created.

Consider installing an air exchange unit.

Remember to change the filters regularly, as recommended by the manufacturer.

To keep homes safe and healthy for ourselves, families and visitors, it’s important to try to identify

and reduce hazards from the indoor air we breathe.

More information and tips are available at no cost through Health Canada’s Hazardcheck guide, which you can read or order copies of online at HealthyCanadians.gc.ca/Hazardcheck or by calling 1-800-O-Canada. www.newscanada.com

People power a better alternative LIVING WELL Many of us can recall hearing something like this when we were kids: “When I was your age, I used to walk 15 kilometres to get to school in five feet of snow….” This lesson from our elders speaks to our society’s change to a faster pace of life.

It also reflects our reliance on automobiles to move us around our community instead of using more active modes of transportation such as walking, biking and even taking public transit.

Walking to school improves kid’s physical activity levels, social interactions and alertness at school and also improves the environment and mental wellbeing of parents. Yet, in Canada, 58 per cent of parents say they always walked to school when they were kids but only 28 per cent of their kids do.

So curiosity led me to ask parents about why the shift away from walking to school.

My findings were similar to those identified

by Active Healthy Kids Canada (2014). When it comes to walking to school, as well as other physical activity for kids, parents often choose what they be-

lieve will save time, is more convenient and is safer.

My morning commute often involves navigating my bike through traffic flowing to and from the nearby schools. While wading through the traffic and idling vehicles, I often wonder how this can be more efficient, convenient and safe. Not only am I and the children who are walking or biking to school at greater risk of being hit by a car, there are also a lot of carbon emissions being expelled into the neighbourhood as cars idle.

With asthma and obesity on the rise in children and youth maybe it’s time to reflect on the words of our elders and reconsider how we get around. Walking and biking to school can be efficient, convenient and safe. Schools, city planners, parents and neighbourhoods have pulled together in various communities within the Interior to plan active and safe routes to school. One initiative gaining popularity is the walking school bus which can be as simple as a group of children walking to school with one or more adults.

Subsidy for getting healthy

By Tracy Hughes

market news staff

Forget the new year.

For many people, September signals the start of a new year and, with it, the desire to make changes, especially when it comes to lifestyle.

An added incentive for many people is the province will offer a $50 subsidy to help people get started on the road to a healthier lifestyle. Called the Prescription for Health program, B.C. residents of all ages can apply for the $50 credit, as long as they fit into one of four categories.

These include being a smoker, having unhealthy eating habits,

physical inactivity or obesity.

A physician must complete and sign the form, and the person must then register and pay for an approved physical activity or nutrition program before submitting the form to receive the $50 reimbursement.

“It can be a great incentive to help people get going,” said Heather Stanton, co-owner of ProActive Fitness and a British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association trainer and trainer of fitness leaders.

“The qualifications are broad enough that many people would qualify, they just have to approach their doctor.”

One caution is that the pro-

gram needs to be run by a certified professional, or at a recognized facility, like the pool at the SASCU Recreation Centre.

“The fitness industry is not currently a regulated industry,” says Stanton. “So people should be aware of this when they are looking for a program. Is your instructor certified and qualified to teach what they’re teaching?”

Stanton says there are a number of ways people can check to see if an instructor would be qualified, including looking for posted certifications, checking a new online registry at www.thefitnessregistry.com, or through the BCRPA website at www. bcrpa.bc.ca.

GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer A coalition of imams and organizations representing British Muslims has written Prime Minister David Cameron asking him to stop using the phrase “Islamic State” when talking about the new country carved out of Iraq and Syria

by Islamist terrorists.

That’s what Abu Baqr al Baghdadi, who has proclaimed himself “the caliph of all Muslims and the prince of the believers,” calls his newly conquered territory, but it’s giving ordinary Muslims a bad name.

The British Muslim leaders declared that “the media, civic society and governments should refuse to legitimise these ludicrous caliphate fantasies by accepting or propagating this name. We propose that “UnIslamic State” (UIS) could be an accurate and fair alternate name to describe this group and its agenda – and we will begin to call it that.”

Good luck with that. But meanwhile two more “UnIslamic States” are being created right now, on Libyan and Nigerian territory: same black flags, same fanaticism and cruelty, even the same ski masks. (It’s a fashion statement.)

The city of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state in northeastern Nigeria, has more than two million people. It

is surrounded by the forces of Boko Haram – the name roughly translates as “Western education is forbidden” – and most of the rest of Borno has already fallen under their rule. In fact, the whole northeastern corner of Nigeria is passing out of the government’s control.

“At this very moment,” Alhaji Baba Ahmad Jidda, the secretary to the Borno state government, told The Independent newspaper last week, “most parts of Borno state are being occupied by Boko Haram insurgents.

Government presence and administration is minimal, with economic, commercial and social services totally subdued. Schools and clinics remain closed.”

Boko Haram’s ultimate goal was the imposition of an Islamic state in Nigeria ever since it began active operations in 2009. It was in touch with alQaeda from the start, and later with the jihadi groups in Syria that subsequently turned into ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) and finally into the “Islamic State” that now spans those two countries.

Only the northern half of Nigeria’s population is Muslim, so that was where Boko Haram’s murders and abductions were concentrated, although it also carried out terrorist bombings in the Christian parts of the country.

More than 3,600 people were killed in these attacks in the four years to 2013, but then there was a major acceleration: 2,000 more people have been killed in just the first half of this year.

FOOTHILLS CENTRE FOR CHANGE Located in the Beautiful Okanagan Valley www.foothillscentre.com

Boko Haram’s leader Abubakar Shekau also changed tactics: instead of hit-and-run raids, he started to take and hold territory. In August, after his fighters captured the town of Gwoza in Borno, he released a video declaring that the area was “now part of the Islamic Caliphate.” He now rules over about three million people in northeastern Nigeria and neighbouring Cameroon.

The Nigerian army rarely stands up to Boko Haram’s fighters. Like the Iraqi army, which ran from far smaller numbers of ISIS troops, it is corrupt and badly equipped, but it is also deeply penetrated by Boko Haram sympathizers: last June 15

“In fact, Islamist militias with ISIS-style ideologies now control every city along the Libyan coast except Tobruk...”

senior military officers were found guilty by court martial of passing arms and information to Boko Haram. So Abubakar Shekau may end up ruling much of northern Nigeria.

Libya is considerably further down the same track. A civil war broke out between the various militias left over from the 2011 campaign to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi, the former dictator, shortly after the June election that might – just might – have produced a government that would try to disarm those militias. It has got so bad that almost a third of

the Libya’s population, 1.8 million people, has fled the country, mostly seeking shelter in Tunisia.

The real divisions between these warring militias are regional and tribal, but a number of them have adopted extreme Islamist ideologies, partly because it guarantees a flow of arms and money from certain governments in the Gulf.

These Islamist militias have emerged as the winners both in the savage fighting in western Libya around the capital, Tripoli, and also in the other major city, Benghazi, in the east.

In fact, Islamist militias with ISIS-style ideologies now control every city along the Libyan coast except Tobruk, a short distance from the Egyptian border. That is where the new parliament elected in June has taken refuge, and the parliament’s members are living on a hired Greek car ferry that is serving as a floating hotel.

The front line starts just west of town – and the next town along the coast, Derna, has been declared an Islamic caliphate.

A lot of this is just ideological fashion, of course. The various “caliphates” are in touch with one another, after a fashion, but there is no master plan.

However, the results are truly nasty both in Nigeria and in Libya – and the risk of overreaction by those who feel threatened by these developments, especially in the West, is quite large.

No North Shuswap doctors

Medical centre: Retiring physicians won’t be replaced.

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The North Shuswap Medical Centre is losing its doctors and no others are in sight.

“It is very sad,” says Larry Morgan, Columbia Shuswap Regional District director for the North Shuswap. “We worked very hard and have taken several different approaches to come up with something. Unfortunately, it appears we’re not able to continue recruiting.”

Morgan says he and members of the North Shuswap Health Society have had multiple meetings with Interior Health, to no avail.

“They are not interested in restarting Scotch Creek,” he says, noting the health authority indicated in 2013 that emergency

response beyond Scotch Creek towards Anglemont, Celista and Seymour Arm would likely involve a helicopter.

The clinic’s closure is due to the retirement of Drs. Ken and Janet Bates, who have worked in the clinic for the past three-and-ahalf years.

Janet says she and her husband were recruited

by Interior Health on the basis of providing care from both the Chase and Scotch Creek clinics.

But, after they arrived, IH chose to close Scotch Creek, at which point the Bates left the employment of the health authority and undertook operation of the clinic in Scotch Creek.

“The whole thing is so hard for people to understand, but IH has determined our area is

not part of their manpower plan so they don’t aid in recruiting like they do in other areas,” she says, pointing out a $15,000 incentive

is not made available to the North Shuswap.

“Clearly it is very difficult for patients; we See Chase on page 26

Aboriginal enterprise wins business award A Chase enterprise has won a BC Aboriginal Business Award, to be presented Oct. 15 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Winning in the Joint Venture Business of the Year category for Outstanding Achievement is Secwepemc Camps and Catering from Chase.

The website for Secwepemc Camps and Catering explains that McElhanney Engineering Services Ltd. and Sexqeltkemc Limited Partnership (SLP) finalized a memorandum of understanding on Jan. 11, 2013, agreeing to work together on projects within the traditional territory of the Sexqeltkemc te Secwepemc – Lakes Division.

The Lakes Division is represented by three bands: Splatsin, Adams Lake and Neskonlith.

The website notes that the agreement was the first step in

developing a working relationship between McElhanney and Sexqeltkemc to get extensive involvement in the many opportunities being considered on SLP’s Traditional Territories including significant highway upgrades, mines and other development projects. The agreement also follows McElhanney’s desire to find meaningful ways to partner with local indigenous communities, businesses and individuals to promote economic benefits for both parties.

“Entrepreneurial spirit is alive and growing in British Columbia’s aboriginal communities,” said Premier Christy Clark when the awards were announced Sept. 10. “The success of our aboriginal entrepreneurs plays a crucial role in strengthening First Nations communities and our whole economy.

The 6th annual Aboriginal Business Achievement Awards are a great opportunity to honour their achievements.”

The BC Aboriginal Business Awards were launched in 2008 to honour and celebrate business excellence in six categories. A total of 16 aboriginal businesses, entrepreneurs, joint ventures and community-owned enterprises will be recognized.

The BC Aboriginal Business Awards are presented by the BC Achievement Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and sponsor support.

The BC Achievement Foundation is an independent foundation established and endowed in 2003 by the Province of British Columbia to celebrate community services, arts, humanities and enterprise.

Chase doctors might visit clinic weekly Continued from pg. 25 have no form of public transportation… no way for many people to go to the doctor. We saw a lot of people who, in the absence of doctors, simply didn’t see anybody.”

Janet says the North Shuswap Health Society is still trying to get some form of healthcare provider to the clinic and there’s a possibility the doctors in Chase might visit the clinic one day a week, “which clearly would be wonderful for the patients.”

In an Aug. 1 letter to their patients, advising them of the imminent closure, the Bates identified Dr. Curtis Bell, community medical director as the Interior Health decision-maker, who has determined the “manpower plan” calls for three doctors for Chase.

Janet is not just concerned about doctors but about other healthcare providers as well.

“We worked really hard to get a lab. Life Labs comes once a week and the real hope is they could continue to do that,” she says. “The health-care society has

committed to keeping the lab open for a year, but some of the money is coming from fundraising.”

The Bates are also concerned that, without

a space, the services of a foot-care specialist who visits the clinic once a month and a nurse practitioner who visits twice a month will be lost.

“We have worked at

recruiting, but it’s clear Chase has more help from the health authority,” she says.

Bell was out of the office and unavailable for comment.

Big scholarship awarded

Your Health &

Wellness

Lee Creek student: Receives funds for McGill studies.

Simona Bene Watts has been named one of two of McGill University’s 2014 Schulich Leaders, each receiving a Schulich Leader Scholarship for students entering undergraduate studies in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM).

Bene Watts, of Lee Creek, is the recipient of the award valued at $60,000.

A graduate of Salmon Arm Secondary, she entered the Faculty of Science’s Biological, Biomedical & Life Sciences program this fall.

Watts was selected for her outstanding academic and communityservice achievements, core requirements for the award.

Her accomplishments include helping to organize a humanitarian trip to Ghana to build a primary-school classroom, and serving as the driving force

behind a fundraising fashion show for the African famine.

Created by Canadian business leader and philanthropist Seymour Schulich three years ago, the annual awards program encourages high school graduates to embrace STEM disciplines in their future careers. This year, there were 1,147 Schulich Leader Nominees.

Two scholarship recipients – “Schulich Leaders” – are selected at each participating university.

One undergraduate scholarship valued at $80,000 is designated for a student pursuing a degree in an engineering program.

The second undergraduate scholarship, valued at $60,000, is awarded to a student pursuing a degree in a science, technology or mathematics program (non-engineering based).

Simona Bene Watts “Fostering leadership in STEM fields is vital to Canada’s economic prosperity,” said Schulich.

“A scholarship of this size will motivate high school students from across the country to pursue their dream and, in the process, help to ensure our country’s competitive position. This scholarship, now in its third year, has positively impacted 120 students from across the country in 10 provinces distributing more than $7.6 million to Canadian Schulich Leaders

For Terry's dream

RICK KOCH PHOTO

n Jace Koskimaki bikes while Ian Mcarthur and Darren Seibel run the five-kilometre route during the 2014 Terry Fox Run on Sunday in Chase.

The Chase Heat hit the road on the weekend for the first two of a 52game regular season schedule.

The first stop was the Coyotes in Osoyoos. Bus legs and beautiful hot weather may have put the team in La-La Land as the effort needed was not there except for 11 minutes in the second period. Outshot 45-32, the boys came out on the short side of a 7-2 decision. Missed assignments, lost faceoffs and early season jitters were evident throughout this lopsided contest. For the Heat, rookie winger Tommy Brown got his first KIJHL goal assisted by Kolten Moore at 2:44 of the first period. The second goal came off the stick of veteran Cody Hodges assisted by Chase Anchikoski and Kaleb Boyle at 7:33 of the second frame, and then the desert dogs took over completely.

Sunday afternoon found the team in Princeton versus the Posse. Chase outshot the opposition 28-19 and scored three powerplay markers en route to

a second road loss 4-3. After falling behind 1-0 in the first, the Heat came back with two in the second. Rookie Travis Beaubien scored his first from Moore and Brown at 10:39, and Jordan Passmore from Connor Venne at 6:49. They were up 2-1 going into the locker room. In the third, the Heat came unglued as the puck became a grenade that no one wished to touch or seemed to know what to do with, and the Posse scored three in a row to totally take over. With 1:02 left, Venne scored from Boyle to make it interesting and then goalie Nic Bruyere was pulled from between the pipes, but to no avail.

This early in the season the roster is not set so fans can expect cuts, additions and intrigue as hockey operations works on chemistry, commitment, desire and dedication by the players. It simply is ‘show or go’ time.

Next up is the home opener Friday, Sept. 19 versus Grand Forks at 7 p.m. at the Art Holding Memorial Arena.

BAWTREE, KAY We’re sorry to announce the passing of Kay Bawtree, nee Sutherland, born Nov. 15, 1928, died Sept 11, 2014.

She is survived by her loving family: husband Alfred, two sons Hugh and Bruce, and three grand daughters, Morgan, Janell and Kirsten. She is also survived by her sister Alma and her brother Fred.

COLLINS, THOMAS ROYDEN With great sadness and despair, the family of Thomas Royden Collins would like to announce that he passed away at Bastion Place on September 13th after a long battle with cancer.

He is survived by his wife Heidi of 44 years, and his children, Susan Rioux of Blind Bay BC, Rob Collins of Vernon BC and Rick Collins of Prince George BC, and his brother Bob Collins of Owen Sound, ON, and numerous grandchildren.

Tom was born in Galt ON on August 8th, 1940, and had a very happy childhood growing up, spending most of his time outdoors exploring the Grand River by canoe, hiking the local trails, and playing his clarinet in the local marching band. At 18, he started out digging ditches for the Union Gas company and then went on to get his gas fitter license, and then his electrical, plumbing, and finally, refrigeration and heating.

In 1972, Tom and his wife Heidi made a trip out west to explore the Okanagan area and they fell in love with the scenery, climate and the mountains.

Two years later, Tom packed up his family and drove across the country in a red Volkswagen van to settle in Vernon BC. He started his own air conditioning and heating business and then went on to work for BC Tel where he stayed until retirement. Using all of his tickets, Tom built 2 houses throughout his life in Vernon for the family to live in, both which were designed by his wife Heidi who is a draftsperson.

He enjoyed being outdoors in his leisure time, canoeing a lot of the local lakes and rivers, hiking and hunting, as well as cross country skiing. Tom was a brilliant jazz musician and had an amazing natural gift to improvise with his saxophone and clarinet. He spent many years playing around the Okanagan with various musician friends and left a great legacy in Vernon by being an integral part in the creation of the hugely successful “Vernon Jazz Society”. After retiring, Tom and his wife Heidi decided to move to Salmon Arm, BC in 2004. He still continued on with his music, doing a little bit of teaching and joining the Salmon Arm Community Band, which he immensely enjoyed. His most recent hobby involved fixing up a small sailboat, turning it into a lake-going vessel to explore the many large lakes in the region. He spent many hours lovingly working on this boat and experienced beautiful trips exploring the shorelines of the Shuswap, Adam’s and the Upper Arrow lakes. When he got sick, and was unable to do the things he loved, the memories of all his adventures sustained him and gave him joy. Thanks to Dr. Kirkman, his long-time physician for supporting him through this journey, and to Nikki, his home care nurse from the get-go, for setting up everything to make him comfortable and for her ongoing advice and visits. Thanks to all of the wonderful care aides – each and every one of you were so kind and caring. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Red Cross. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

Burning restrictions relaxed

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Kamloops Fire Centre lifted the openburning ban for parts of the Salmon Arm Fire Zone only.

As of noon Monday, Sept. 15, open fires are permitted in areas above 1,200 metres in the Salmon Arm Fire

Zone within the Kamloops Fire Centre, due to a decreased risk of wildfires.

But a wildfire discovered Sunday evening, six kilometres north of Princeton on the Princeton-Summerland Highway, had grown to 182 hectares by noon Monday. The fire is suspected to be human-

caused but the specific cause is under investigation.

Despite the temporary respite in weather conditions, the fire danger rating in many areas of the Kamloops Fire Centre remains “high.”

Salmon Arm’s fire danger rating was four or “high” Monday, and

was expected to remain high until at least Sept.

17.

All fires larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide remain prohibited below 1,200 metres until Oct. 15, 2014, or until the public is otherwise notified.

Campfires one-half metre wide by one-half metre high only are

Profile of the week

permitted but must be extinguished properly – cool to the hand.

The penalty for operating an illegal burn is a $345 fine, the same amount charged if operators are found to be without an appropriate firefighting hand tool or eight litres of water on hand to extinguish the fire.

Off to school and court B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Whatever cease-fire emerges from the latest round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.

Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.

When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated.

The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed.

Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like.

Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions.

“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.”

“Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto...”

What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling.

For instance, there

have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago.

The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by em-

ployee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

Salmon supper to help Kingfisher

Early on the morning of Friday, May 2, the Cooke Creek bridge, on Mabel Lake Road, was taken out when tons of logs and debris came roaring down Cooke Creek, along with the weight of nine million gallons of water, causing mass destruction.

Directly in its path lay the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre (KICS). The centre is an integral part of the community, as well as a popular place for tourists.

The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre assists more than 100,000 salmon from egg to fry, and releases them to their natural life cycle in the wild of the Shuswap River well and strong. Community volunteers do most of the work harvesting salmon eggs and maintaining the hatchery, but the centre also creates employment for several community members.

The centre is also a popular place for students in the region to learn about the salmon.

In the wake of the flood, the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre is desperately in need of repairs.

In order for the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre to be restored, the trails must be restored, the berm needs to be re-established, water lines need to be repaired and the hatchery lab equipment must be replaced.

This equipment includes: a television, office supplies, desk, educational materials and a watershed model.

To help raise funds, a special Salmon Sensation Dinner Fundraiser is planned for Saturday, Sept. 27 at the Riverside Community Hall, 3784 Trinity Valley Road, Enderby.

Doors open at 5 p.m. with a cash bar. The salmon dinner will begin at 6 p.m. with a live auction and entertainment to follow.

Tickets are $50 (includes $25 tax receipt), and are available at Ashton Creek Store, Tony O’s Outfitter in Enderby and Bean Scene Coffee House in Vernon. Or buy tickets online at www.kingfishercentre.com/programsandevents2.html.

Donations can also be made to www.kingfishercentre.com via Paypal or mail a cheque (payable to Kingfisher Interpretive Centre Society) to 2550 Mabel Lk Rd., Enderby, BC V0E 1V5 For more information, call Shelley at 250-8380282, or check out the website at www.kingfishercentre.com

CSRD conducting recycling survey

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) is conducting a review of its Regional Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP), last updated in 2009. The review will identify new initiatives for reduce, reuse, recycle and disposal programs for the next five years, as many of the 2009 recommendations have now been completed. A review of new opportunities and directions will be conducted to update the SWMP and to establish implementation priorities for the next five years. I t is important to note that the process relies on input from residents, business and other stakeholders residing within member municipalities and rural areas alike.

The review will explore enhanced recycling opportunities, including food waste and other waste diversion initiatives, landfill and transfer station management and public education.

Check the CSRD website at www.csrd.bc.ca for general information, as well as the opportunity to provide input regarding this planning process through completion of a survey. Those who complete the survey will be entered into a draw for the chance to win a $250 Visa gift card.
