CSRD wades into education issues UBCM: Directors’ resolution calls for a review of the province’s funding system.

By Barb Brouwer

markEt nEws staff

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors are unhappy with the government’s funding of the education system and are calling on the province to undertake a complete review.

Directors approved a resolution asking the Union of BC Municipalities to lobby the provincial government to complete an independent review of the funding formula used to fund public education.

Extolling the virtues of Silver Creek school and its Parent Advisory Council and voicing concerns about the long hours young children would have to travel on a bus, Area D director Rene Talbot told school board chair Bobbi Johnson the regional district is taking action.

He said closing rural schools kills the community and asked how many people would be thrilled if they had kindergarten kids on a bus for 90 minutes.

“We do have a motion to go after the government for more money,”

he said. “Hopefully it will pass here today and go on to UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities). “Rural areas are much safer and a better learning environment.”

Three School District #83 board officials attended the April 23 CSRD meeting to present directors with the options under consideration to find the $1.8 million needed to balance their budget.

Johnson, accompanied by secretary-treasurer Sterling Olson as well as school trustees Barry Chafe from Sicamous and Michel Saab of

• 3 Locations in Salmon Arm • Sorrento • Sicamous BARTON INSURANCE

Salmon Arm, answered questions from the board.

Johnson explained that nine of the schools in the board’s 8,000 square kilometres are within CSRD boundaries. She addressed the school board’s shortfall, continually dropping enrolment and the need to close schools or spaces within schools.

“We’ve done the first five consultations and we’re going through See Directors on page 2

Directors worry about loss of rural schools Continued from front consultation results,” Johnson said. “We have been moving along trying to find out what we can do with schools; there’s lots of empty classrooms.”

Johnson said the school district is having challenges to maintain an education system in outlying areas and is making a concerted effort to think outside the box.

“Are there efficiencies we can find between regional districts such as watering school grounds in summer that are used by members of the public?” asked Olson as an example.

Johnson pointed out that trustees are also looking at things other ministries, such as the Ministry of Health, should be funding, in-

stead of the education system.

CSRD chair Rhona Martin asked Johnson to leave the decisions on facility changes until next year as opposed to the current May 12 decision day.

“People are concerned the school board is in a rush to get this done,” echoed Talbot, who reiterated his concerns for Ranchero and Silver Creek schools. “It’s always the rural school that gets the axe.”

But Johnson pointed out the school board has a time limit on consultation on any issue.

“We get the report and have 60 days to do it,” she said. “It always seems rushed; people always like time to digest everything.”

Calling Silver Creek School wonderful, Johnson pointed out urban schools includ-

ing Salmon Arm Elementary and South Canoe had both been closed and that extra staffing required to operate Silver Creek takes away from the broader base.

For example, she said staff members might drive all the way to outlying schools like Falkland or Silver Creek to help one student, whereas they could help several in the same timeframe if they went to a closer and more-populated school like Hillcrest.

“I agree a long bus ride is not my favourite thing to do. It may not mean closing the school,” she said, noting perhaps non-classroom spaces could be closed off. “A lot of the decline is coming from the rural schools so that is where we have to find (solutions).”

Martin pointed out

that Peace River has adopted a $120 school bus fee, but the suggestion did not sit well with Johnson.

“When we looked at it the last time, 2,813 kids ride buses, most in outlying areas, so we’re hitting all the outlying areas,” she said, clearly concerned about the possibility of a student refused entry on the bus because struggling parents have not been able to pay the bill. “We run buses to get kids to school. Will we look at it? Maybe, but we have trouble collecting school fees as it is.”

Martin again made a plea for leaving school closure decisions until next year.

As she was leaving, Johnson made a request of her own.

“Have you any extra money, maybe to hire a speech pathologist?”

Event stresses need for safety MARKET NEWS STAFF

It can happen in an instant, when another, seemingly typical day on the job becomes a traumatic, potentially life-threatening experience. Devon Smith learned this first-hand last November, while she was helping her dad replace fence posts on her family’s cattle farm.

“Dad and I hooked up the augers at the back of the tractor and went to work. Fixing fences is a routine job when you have cattle. We had about six or seven posts in the ground when I started moving around a little too close to the tractor. I don’t remember any of what happened next,” said Smith, a guest speaker at Salmon Arm’s Day of Mourning ceremony held Tuesday, April 28

at Marine Park.

Smith, 21, said her dad quickly shut down the augers and cut her free. She would spend the next six-and-a-half weeks in hospital, receiving various surgeries due to her injuries.

Since 2009, 145 injuries and 11 fatalities have occurred on B.C. farms and ranches.

Workplace fatalities in the province totalled 173 in the province last year alone. The national Day of Mourning, held annually on April 28, is to recognize and honour those who have lost their lives in the workplace to accidents or occupational disease, and to raise awareness, of the provision of safe workplaces.

From her experience, Smith says safety is not something that can be taken for granted.

“The biggest thing

that I’ve learned from this is always, always be aware of what you’re doing,” said Smith.

“Even when it’s something you have done a million times over again, it doesn’t change the chance for potential risk. If anything, it makes it a bigger risk because you’re being complacent. You’re not thinking about taking all the safety measures, and you need to, every single time, no matter what.”

The importance of worker mental health was also stressed, by both CUPE local 1908 president Kevin Hansen and Salmon Arm Fire Chief Brad Shirley. They emphasized how, without proper diagnosis and support, mental-health issues like post-traumatic stress disorder can have a significant impact on

the workplace and the economy. More important, this can result in the loss of loved ones and friends.

“Post-traumatic stress disorder is one more work-related hazard that firefighters, paramedics, police officers and other workers are faced with today,” said Shirley, referring to two Surrey firefighters who took their own lives due to PTSD. Hansen also related a story of personal loss – a friend and local first responder who suffered from PTSD. “We need to focus on giving understanding for individuals suffering from all mental health problems, and support them,” said Hansen. “Any death in the workplace or workrelated is not acceptable and most workplace injuries are preventable.”

Truck owner helps police arrest thief The owner of a truck wasn’t going to let a thief get away.

Salmon Arm RCMP, police received a report of stolen Ford F-350 from a parking lot near Hudson Avenue, about 3 p.m. April 28.

“The owner of the truck, in a nearby building, witnessed a male

near his truck and a few minutes later saw his truck leave,” said Sgt. Andrew Hunter. “The owner and a friend immediately got in another vehicle and followed the truck, while notifying police.”

The men followed the truck along the Trans-Canada Highway

towards Kamloops.

“The male suspect did not know he was being followed,” said Hunter. “Upon seeing the Chase RCMP marked police vehicle approaching him, he immediately turned off onto Golf Course Drive, near Blind Bay.” The stolen vehicle

Trail strategy in works

Backcountry: Groups aim for better management.

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Partners behind a regional trail strategy are looking for ways to improve backcountry recreational experiences while preserving environmentally sensitive areas and respecting First Nations’ land rights.

While the strategy is in its early stages, the organizations working on it have extensive familiarity with the Shuswap’s backcountry and how it’s being utilized.

These partners include local First Nations (Splatsin, Neskonlith, Adams Lake and Little Shuswap bands), the Shuswap Trail Alliance, the Eagle Valley Snowmobile Club, Sicamous Quadders, BC Parks, Recreation Sites and Trails BC and Tolko. Together, they are moving towards a plan for better management of the backcountry – improving areas that should be used while protecting those that shouldn’t – all in a framework of respect to Secwepemc territorial values.

Trail Alliance executive director Phil McIntyre-Paul says the strategy should help “improve the recreational experience so there’s a lasting, sustainable recreational experiences that make sense.”

An early stage of the strategy’s development has been the identifica-

tion of priority areas that need to be addressed and protected, sooner than later. One of those is the Owl Head recreation area, popular among snowmobilers in the winter and ATVers in the summer. Much of it is alpine and sub-alpine terrain and is adjacent to the Kingfisher Creek Ecological Reserve.

“It’s also vulnerable because it’s open in the alpine, so it’s very easy to leave those designated routes and start exploring. And, without really having any coordinated management strategy up there, it’s pretty easy to suddenly find yourself… going through the Kingfisher Ecological Reserve.”

McIntyre-Paul says the snowmobile club, the Sicamous Quadders and the Splatsin are taking a lead role with Owl Head, working on ways to keep people out of the wetlands and on the logging roads.

“Most of the logging roads are short… so you get to the end of it and you run out of things to do so they start wandering off into the wetlands and that we don’t want,” said EVSC genera manager Gord Bushell. “So we’re working with Splatsin and we may even be looking at coming up with a corridor they can stay on, an actual logging road they can stay on so they don’t have to

Sicamous Quadders president Marvin Tansley says the quadders would like to see an ATV route along the lines of what the sledders use from Owl Head to Blue Lake.

“We don’t necessarily want to get on all the sled routes, but we don’t want to see us getting restricted on forest service roads,” said Tansley, who is glad to be among the user groups working on the strategy. While concessions are part of the process, Tansley says a similar model of co-operation led to a strategy for the Larch Hills that has benefited all user groups involved.

McIntyre-Paul also refers to Larch Hills as an example of what is achievable – in terms of defining trails for different user groups and mitigating damage in the process.

“It may mean some trail closures, it may mean some trail reroutes, it may mean some alternate designations,” said McIntyrePaul of the regional trail strategy. “If we can’t ATV here, where can we ATV and is there a way of connecting desirable points or destinations? In some cases, there may be some locations that really just shouldn’t be accessible.”

Tansley and Bushell suggest the new licensing requirements for off-road vehicles may go some way to help curb incidents where riders are going off the beaten path and into sensitive areas.

“It only takes one per cent of a group to wreck it for everybody,” said Bushell “We want to educate people… we don’t want anybody up there causing any kind of permanent damage or threatening the area for us.”

City weeds out budget issues

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The City of Salmon Arm’s 2014 budget has been given a thumbs up by the city’s auditors, but the year’s finances were not without a few wrinkles.

Jeff Johnson with BDO Canada LLP delivered his firm’s findings at council’s April 13 meeting: the city’s financial statements are in order and they meet accounting standards for the public sector.

A memorandum on the 2014 final budget from Monica Dalziel, the city’s chief financial officer, in which transfers between areas over-budget and those under-budget are listed, contained a few paragraphs with stern wording.

One was regarding repairs to public works equipment. She wrote: “It is critically important… that major repairs, such as those noted above, be reported as soon as they become known by the Public Works Department so that Council can be apprised of any reallocations and sources of funding can be determined. The overages noted above in totality equal approximately $54,000, which are

very difficult to fund at the end of the year and can place council and staff in a very difficult position.”

A similar message followed some unexpected increases in the parks budget such as maintenance in Marine Park and at a flower bed at Shaw Centre and the SASCU Recreation Centre. These were offset by a number of parks which were under-budget.

Monica Dalziel, chief financial officer Dalziel told the Observer that ‘overages’ do happen, but “this time there seemed to be a bit more happening… so I was pointing it out.”

She noted almost half the city managers were new to their positions, while vehicle repairs, for instance, can be difficult to predict.

Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of public works and engineering, said such items

were mostly a matter of communication, where the finance department wasn’t informed as early as possible regarding increases.

“When auditors start coming down on you, we have something to worry about,” he said, noting that is not happening. “We have a clean record.”

Coun. Alan Harrison asked about the difference in interest rates being paid on different buildings, wondering if they varied because the debentures were done at different times and the interest rate of the day was then locked in.

Dalziel said yes, and noted such debentures are often retired early.

“We will be bringing you one on the waterfront walkway later this year.”

Coun. Kevin Flynn wanted this clarified as well, as citizens might wonder why those interest rates are higher than the going mortgage rates.

Dalziel also noted the long-term debt was reduced between 2013 and 2014 by $1.8 million, while reserves went up $1.7 million.

The Shaw Centre is scheduled to be paid off in 2019, but she said it may be paid off a year or two earlier.

Budget priorities questionable

The federal Conservatives put forth their budget and few political watchers were surprised by what it contained. Many of the promises and appropriations contained therein were spelled out well before the budget hit the floor of Parliament.

While every budget can (and should) be seen as a campaign document – in that being responsible for the public’s financial contributions to our society is a government’s main role – we should be wary of budgets that directly precede elections.

Many of the promises in this particular Conservative government’s budget only happen if they are re-elected, making them less budget items and more of a platform on which they are campaigning.

An example is the additional funding being made available to municipalities to improve transit infrastructure, which is slated to begin flowing in 2017.

They also announced they have lowered the tax rate on small businesses, and teased that “our government will reduce the tax rate further, all the way down to nine per cent by 2019,” Finance Minister Joe Oliver said in his speech, again, assuming his party is re-elected.

It might have been nice to see some commitment from the federal government in terms of diversifying our energy sector, so we’re not relying so heavily on the price of oil to drive our economy. The federal government’s coffers are so heavily dependant on contributions from the oil and gas sector that dropping oil prices demanded a recalculation of the entire structure of the budget, delaying its release, in fact.

Then again, diversifying doesn’t play well with the Conservative base.

And that’s what this budget is. It’s the government saying, “If you like these things, make sure you do your part to help us get re-elected.”

It’s not a budget, really. It’s more of a campaign speech.

OPINION

Settling to be a part of the swarm

“It’s in the air – you can feel it – spring has finally arrived,” I thought to myself as I sat in my vehicle looking out at all the boats on White Lake. And more importantly, the first chironomid hatches were starting to come off. I watched as a slight mist rose from the water. All those anglers out there, casting their lines. They looked like a swarm of insects waving their antennae around trying to communicate with each other. Part of me wanted to be out their casting my own line. Another part of me was glad that I wasn’t part of the swarm.

Ah yes, chrironomids, those tiny little members of the two-winged order Diptera. I read somewhere that there are about 2,500 species of chironomids in North America and at least 200 different species in the B.C. Interior.

Chironomids, which begin hatching immediately after ice-off, have a complete metamorphosis. Their life cycle begins when eggs are deposited on the surface of a lake and settle into the mire and mud on the bot-

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray tom. The eggs develop into larvae, which are thin worm -like creatures, half-an-inch to one inch in length, with a rather pronounced segmentation along the full length of their bodies. They are usually bright red in colour, due to a hemoglobin substance in their bodies that allows them to live in relatively oxygenpoor waters throughout the winter months.

The majority of chironomid hatches take place in waters that are no more than 10 to 20 feet deep, and although individual chironomids are often tiny in size, one only has to look at the tremendous number of empty chironomid pupae cases floating on the water

to realize just how many chironomid pupae are hatching at any given time. In shades of pale green to brown, wine and black, chironomid pupae are easily identified by their pronounced segmentation along the abdomen and the presence of white feather-like gills on the head, and sometimes on the tip of the abdomen. The pupae emerge from protective tubes in the lake bottom to begin their ascent to the surface by trapping gases under the skin of their abdomen and thorax. As the pupae make their way towards the surface, they often take on a silvery mirror-like appearance. Immediately upon reaching the surface and breaking through the meniscus, a split forms along the back of the thorax, the winged adult emerges, and the mature insect flies off to mate and begin the cycle all over again.

It is during their ascent to the surface that chironomid pupae are the most vulnerable and become easy prey for opportunistic trout, which will often feed almost exclusively on the

emerging pupae. Most anglers fish chironomid patterns with a floating line and a long, sinking leader. An integral part of fishing with chironomid patterns is having enough patience to wait for such a tiny fly to sink to the required depth. Strikes are often subtle and hard to recognize. It can take three to five minutes for a fly to sink 20 feet in the water. A slow retrieve is also essential ... a couple of inches, pause, a couple more inches, then a longer pause. Too fast a retrieve and your presentation looks too unnatural.

The key to successful chironomid fishing is to remember that size matters.

You want your imitation to blend in with all the other little chironomids trying to emerge, so you need to select a pattern that is very close in both size and colour to the naturals that are emerging at the time.

I guess when all is said and done, I really do wish I had been out there chironomid fishing with the all those other anglers last week.

Maybe I’ll just have to become a part of the swarm.

Shuswap MLA

VIEW POINT

Liberals offer lame response Regarding the article, “Parties quibble over budget” in the April 24 issue of the Shuswap Market News.

It was very astute of Cindy Derkaz to observe that the Harper government “has failed to present a credible plan to grow incomes and create quality job opportunities.”

After all, so far the only plan to date by Trudeau and the Liberals to grow anything is to increase marijuana production. That is

exactly what Canada needs to improve the lifestyle of the lowincome and middle class, more marijuana smoke.

As for dipping into the contingency fund, that is what contingency funds are for.

It is like your personal savings account that you dip into to save paying 20 per cent interest on your credit card bill.

On the other hand, it is nice to see that Mulcair and the NDP clas-

sify teachers among the wealthy.

Strangely they see income splitting as helping only the rich.

In my teaching days when my wife was a stay-at-home mom and I was paying income tax at 20 per cent, income splitting would have been a tremendous help. And the child-care benefit today is much more generous than the Family Allowance we got in those days.

I didn’t realize at the

time that I was among the wealthy. But the socialists believe no parent should stay home to raise their own children.

Better to send them to daycare even though there is ample evidence that home-raised children have a head start in life.

It is easy to criticize, now show us some concrete proof that any of the opposition have a viable plan.

Alfred Schalm

Article perpetuates unfair stereotypes Having read the article on your front page (April 24, Shuswap Market News) about Albertan’s altercation regarding public urination. I am very disturbed on what hap-

pened, but let’s get this in context.

I don’t believe that the only ignorant people that would do this are only from Alberta.

What are you trying to teach your children,

Harper’s budget lies Emotions ran high when the Conservatives tabled their ‘votes-wecan-buy’ budgetary lie. There was a tear in Stephen Harper’s right eye when he realized his pie-in-the-sky gib-

berish might fly. He almost started to cry, but instead gave a sigh and then murmured, “My oh my, what a sly guy am I.”

is it OK to dislike or hate people that have Alberta plates?

Maybe you should judge people on who they are and not where they come from or the colour of their skin or

their religion.

I found this article very ignorant and can’t believe you would put this in print.

South ShuSwap

Arts council plans busy summer Director’s notes Paul Demenok Recently several cultural organizations in our community banded together to form the Arts Council for the South Shuswap.

In effect, this was a merger of the Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts, the South Shuswap Children’s Theatre Foundation and FACES, Fine Arts Community Explorations in the Shuswap.

This merger enables these groups to share resources, information, ideas and expenses, and to operate more efficiently while continuing to provide Shuswap residents with outstand-

ing cultural programs and events.

It looks like they are off to a great start.

Here’s a brief outline of the schedule for the upcoming season: • May 2 – The South Shuswap Children’s Theatre Foundation is holding a Burger & Bevvy fundraiser with silent auction on Saturday, May 2 at The Olde Town Centre in Blind Bay (next to Blind Bay Resort).

This three-day hiking series, which began April 25, is for families and individuals in the South Shuswap area.

Learn the basics of hiking with a group, learn more about the trail system throughout the Shuswap, find out how to get more involved in trail care as a volunteer and enjoy a day out with friends and neighbours on a world-class trail system.

• McArthur Heights to Balmoral: A fourhour hike that starts at

10 a.m. Saturday, May 9 at the Balmoral Parking area, three kilometres north of Highway 1 at Balmoral store, on Blind Bay Road.

Hikers will then shuttle up to the McArthur Heights parking area. Be sure to bring a large lunch.

This hike will extend well over the midday, including shuttling vehicles at both ends.

• White Lake Lookout: A two-hour hike at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 30.

Meet at the John Evdokimoff Bike Park in White Lake People are encouraged to pre-register by emailing Carmen at ctmassey@hotmail. com or by calling 250804-3466.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for kids and can be purchased at Steamers Coffee in Blind Bay or the Candy Vault in Salmon Arm. • Saturday, June 7 is Kids’ Day at the Arts Council For the South Shuswap at #7 24125 Golf Course Dr. Call 250-515-3276 to register.

• July 2 through to Aug. 20 – a free concert will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. every Thursday night at Centennial Field.

Please bring a chair and enjoy the music as the evening settles in beautiful Blind Bay. • July 23 to July 26 – Shuswap Lake Festival of the Arts is a four-day event that takes place at six locations, with a new and refreshed format and an expanded offering of visual, performing and culinary arts.

Venues and events include Sorrento Memorial Hall, which will

feature two-dimensional art and fabric and fibre art.

Blind Bay Hall will house a crafters’ market upstairs and the Blind Bay Painters will take up residence downstairs at the Reedman Gallery.

The Cedar Centre will be the festival home for children’s art exhibits and the artists’ Wine and Cheese Gala that takes place on July 24 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

• FACES Studio – offers ongoing workshops in several visual arts and will host a Children’s Theatre Camp July 20 to 24 culminating with a Theatre in the Park presentation on Saturday, July 25 in the morning.

• Centennial Field – will be the site of several events and artisans’ displays, including a concert by Cod Gone Wild at 8 p.m. July 24 and a possible culinary competition on July 25.

More details to follow.

• And as if that wasn’t enough, FACES will be offering six summer camps, which include four weeks of arts camps, one week of dance intensive camp and one week of theatre camp.

Schedules are now in development for all music, theatre, dance and art classes starting in the fall.

their trees. Of course at this point no one knows for certain, but in the meantime over two hundred seedlings have a permanent home.

NEWS CONTRIBUTOR

Thanks to three special volunteers, Guiding leaders Maryann Brock, Teresa Marshall, and Barb Mackay, and their energetic 12- to 14-year-old Pathfinders, an environmental program called Haney Stewards continues to flourish.

The nine girls arrived at the R.J. Haney Heritage Village after school last Tuesday, their regular meeting day. They were going to learn a new skill, how to plant trees.

Teresa Marshall said the timing was perfect.

She was looking for an environmental project for the girls and R.J. Haney Heritage Village staff members were the first on the list to come forward. Teresa’s Pathfinders were about to make a significant environmental contribution to their community.

For museum staff, the timing was also perfect. The tree planting event was a way of acknowledging Earth Day and fulfilling a commitment to care for the parkland that surrounds the Village.

Temperatures were warm and foliage was starting to blossom.

Any warmer weather would have diminished the chances for tree survival.

■ Salmon Arm Pathfinders Lilli Rakose, Melanie Denault, Aida Brock, Layla Kutschker, Kierra Bubola, Teresa Marshall, Barb Mackay, Maryann Brock, Laura Wetherill, Mataia Makela, and Bria Rundle pose after working hard to make improvements at Haney Heritage Park.

James Kusisto donated 250-month-old seedlings. James made sure the seedlings came out of the freezer early enough to thaw for the plant.

Museum board members Gary Cruikshank and Garry Landers laced up their hiking boots. Both love the property and want to see the 40 acre park preserved. The Guides were introduced to the project: planting regional species of trees in an environmentally managed forest. Gary knew the site needed more conifers and the girls received a short lesson on tree planting from Haney Village’s Gardener Norm Klassen, a seasoned tree planter.

Norm decided the

upper trail needed the most attention this year and had the eager workers move uphill to the deer fence bordering the neighbouring Salmon Arm Campground.

A recent development at the Campground had changed the look and feel of the nature trail near the village’s amphitheatre. The Haney team wanted to plant trees near the fence to create a buffer between the subdivision and the theatre’s green space.

Sheltered by the existing 120-year-old trees, the Pathfinders worked hard to plant larch, ponderosa pine, and Douglas fir seedlings. The choice of tree for the upper trail made sense. The trees were native to the property. Norm made sure

the bundles of seedlings were varied between the planters and a natural mixture was planted as the group moved north.

Within a short time the girls planted 250 trees.

As many of the Pathfinders move on to Rangers, we will have new volunteers to help with the buffering project. This year’s Pathfinders have promised to come back and watch their trees grow.

Thank you Haney Stewards.

Will any of these kids use the skills acquired at R.J. Haney Heritage Village and become high rollers in the tree planting world?

Some of the Pathfinders considered the possibility while planting

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Put your best foot forward for better toenail health (NC) Having great looking toenails goes beyond a pedicure and fresh coat of nail polish. According to experts, toenails grow as little as one or two millimetres per month, so skin care experts like Dr. Mani Raman, a cosmetic and medical dermatologist in Richmond Hill, Ontario, recommend growing a long-term relationship with your nails from finger to toe.

To keep nails looking and feeling their best, Dr. Raman recommends the following tips: Fight infections at their source: Toenail fungus infections are common, affecting approximately 2.4 million Canadians and more than 18% of people over the age of 60. Dr. Raman recommends speaking with your doctor at the first sign of a possible infection. “Common signs of nail fungus are white or yellow discolouration, brittleness, crumbling or a slight thickening of

the nail. Your doctor may prescribe a medication called Jublia, the recently approved topical treatment that has shown to be almost as effective as some of the powerful oral treatments, but with a safety profile that is far superior to systemic treatments,” says Dr. Raman. According to a recent study, the penetration of Jublia into the nail does not appear to be influenced by nail polish. “Because it can take months for the treated nail to look better, being able to wear nail polish

is often a big plus,” says Dr. Raman.

Polish with the right products: Check the ingredients in your nail products. Dr. Raman says many quick drying nail polishes contain high levels of formaldehyde and alcohol, which can lead to dry, fragile and cracked nails. If you can’t go without some colour on your nails, play it safe by sticking to formaldehyde and alcohol-free products.

Don’t give up hope: “In the past, our success with topical treatment

ARBOR LODGE RETIREMENT LIVING AFFORDABLE

has been relatively poor,” says Dr. Raman. “Systemic medications on the other hand are effective, but they may have considerable drug interactions and side effects, including possible liver toxicity. Patients often decide not to take them. As a physician, not being able to help my patients is always frustrating.”

Dr. Raman points out that the approval of Jublia is a welcome addition to the fight against toenail fungus.

“This treatment has been well-studied

Home cook a video entry HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner One of the best ways to get your kids to eat a meal is to have them take part in the preparation.

Knowing this, I routinely try to get my kids involved in food preparation, but with toddlers, it is messy and quite stressful.

My older daughter Claire is only interested if she gets to use “the dangerous knife,”

and typically eats more product than she produces.

Ayla’s main contribution is to take handfuls of whatever is on the table, and throw them on the floor.

A muffin recipe will only make 10 muffins because Claire has eaten one in batter and Ayla has thrown one on the floor.

Furthermore, the experience leaves me feeling frustrated with a big mess to clean up.

However, cooking is a skill that takes practice, and my hope is that when they are older, they will be bringing me breakfast in bed!

Cooking is not only an essential life skill, but an important way of passing traditions

and culture within your family.

Better Together BC is an organization that recognizes the importance of learning how to cook and share meals together as a family.

Besides providing valuable resources for parents on their website, they are launching a Hands-on Cook-off contest until May 15.

The challenge is to grab a friend or relative and create a home cooking video, showing how to make your favourite recipe.

Videos can be made with your cell phone or video camera but may be no longer than three minutes once uploaded onto Youtube.

There are two entry

categories.

• To enter the multigenerational category, at least two generations must be involved in the making of the video.

• To enter the youth category, at least two youths ages 18 and under must be involved in the making of the video.

• Grand prize is $1,000. See full contest details at www.bettertogetherbc.ca/contest/ -Serena Caner is a registered dietcian who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Gifts to thrill your mom Mother’s Day is almost here and you’re still searching for the perfect gift, one that will make your mother’s eyes shine with delight? Don’t get discouraged. Here are some suggestions that could inspire you.

• Jewelry, the ultimate in fashion accessories, is always popular. A great way to express your love is to have an affectionate message

engraved inside a beautiful ring. There are also all kinds of heart-shaped pendants and earrings that are perfect for saying “I love you, Mom.” • How about a gift

to fuel one of your mother’s passions.

Watch her glow with happiness when she realizes you’ve given her tickets to a show starring her favourite singer, a subscription to a specialized

magazine, a book by a recommended author, a boxed DVD set of a TV show she likes, kitchen accessories or a gift certificate for a new pair of shoes. You know your mother well enough

Find the perfect gift for your mother by taking her shopping and noticing what catches her eye.

to identify what she loves most.

• Some gifts can’t be bought, but they’re no less valuable for all that. So you could help her out by preparing a week’s worth of meals or washing all her windows — you know how much she hates that particular chore. Or simply spend the day with her; go out for a walk together, watch her favourite movies or play some board games.

If you really don’t know what would please your mother most, take her shopping a few days before Mother’s Day and take note of what catches her eye.

Then you can go back without her to buy the perfect gift.

Which flowers to give the world’s best mom?

A bouquet of flowers is a classic gift that never goes out of fashion. They’re beautiful, colourful and fragrant, and they’re always appreciated by the recipient. What sort of flowers will you be offering your amazing mom on Mother’s Day? Ideally, you should give your mom a bouquet of her favourite flowers, but maybe you don’t know which ones she likes best.

Don’t worry; there are a few general guidelines to help you choose. Peonies symbolize sincerity of feeling, lilies express

both sweetness and purity and white orchids represent purity of love. They are all popular for Mother’s Day, right alongside classic roses, the ultimate symbol of love.

You could choose a bouquet of only one kind of flower or a floral composition combining lilies with other varieties. When choosing a colour scheme, opt for soft pastels such as pink and white. If your mom prefers brighter colours, opt for a bouquet in shades of orange or purple, or for a bouquet of different-coloured

roses.

If you want to give a gift that lasts more than a few days (and your mother has a little bit of a green thumb), you can opt for a potted plant rather than cut flowers. Lilies and orchids, for example, are usually available in pots as well as in bouquets.

One last tip: go to the florist’s early enough in the day to avoid the

rush and have your pick of the choicest flowers. Flower shops are always busy on Mother’s Day.

Salmon Arm pros in top 10

It was a windy and difficult day facing 42 of the Interior’s top golf professionals on Monday in the first individual event of the Callaway Bushnell IPGA season.

Former PGA Canada Tour Player and current Kelowna Golf and Country Club head professional Rob Anderson won $500 by firing an impressive 3 under par 69. Anderson, who became a club professional in 1998, has seen his name on many a winner’s trophy in the valley.

Finishing in second place was host professional Brian Macdonald, pocketing $425 for a second place 1 under 71. Dean Claggett (Two Eagles Golf) was alone in third place with an even par 72 and added $350 to his mountain of career earnings.

Russ Latimer (Black Mountain), Clay Stothers (Okanagan Golf Club), Salmon Arm’s Cody Bell (Canoe Creek), Myles Johnson (Spallumcheen) and Peter Hopley (Gallaghers Canyon) all tied fourth, winning $245.

Finlay Young (Harvest) was ninth, winning $175 while Jesse Crowe (SalmonArm Golf Club) and Rob Tadey (Fairview) each won $145 and rounded out the top 10.

Next event is the tour Match Play at the Okanagan Golf Club.

Friday, May 1, 2015 Shuswap Market News

Seeding and fertilizing schedule Restoring lawns and gardens back to their pre-winter glory is high on many a homeowner’s landscaping to-do list. In much of the country, the best times to tackle lawn projects are when temperatures are moderate, like in spring and fall. These

decide to do so in late spring or early fall. · Rake the parts of the lawn you plan to seed and remove any debris or rocks. · Apply fertilizer to the cleared planting area. Use a rake or tiller to break up the soil and distribute the fertilizer to a

Seed and fertilize when temperatures are moderate and soil is warm. Remember to keep new grass seed moist with frequent watering. seasons also mark the best time to seed and fertilize.

Planting and fertilizing new grass seed should be done when frost is no longer a concern and before frost arrives if you are planting in autumn.

According to Roger Cook, a landscape contractor and contributor to This Old House magazine, sowing lawn seed should be done when the soil is warm, the daytime temperatures are moderate and you can keep the new seeds quite moist at all times.

While grass seed can be applied in the summer, it is more challenging to get the seeds to take root and thrive at this time, as water is more likely to evaporate under the hot sun. Also, many weeds germinate in the heat of summer.

As a result, the weeds can infiltrate areas of the lawn where you planted, compromising the look of your lawn.

The process of reseeding and fertilizing your lawn is relatively similar if you

depth of roughly two to four inches. Speak with a landscaper about which type of fertilizer you will need depending on where you live. Many fertilizers contain extra phosphorous to stimulate root growth in the lawn. · Moisten the prepared area and let the soil settle. You want the soil damp but not so wet that it causes the newly applied fertilizer to run off. · Begin to sow the grass seed according to the rate indicated on the seed bag for the type of grass you will be growing.

Choose a grass seed that will thrive in your climate. Certain seeds are more tolerant of drought and sunlight, while other species are better for shady areas or damper climates. Again, if you have any questions, consult with a lawn and garden center. · Spread the seed with a broadcast spreader. Some lawn experts recommend spreading the seed in parallel rows and then repeating the process again in rows set at a right angle to the first series of rows for the best chances of seed coverage. The seeds then can be raked into the soil, covered with a little more soil and patted down. · Water to keep the seeds damp. This may require watering twice or more per day until the seeds begin to germinate.

Covering the seeds with about 1/4 inch of straw also can help keep the seeds moist, deter seed scavengers and prevent soil erosion. Remove the straw once the grass begins to grow. · Roughly four weeks after the seeds have started to grow, apply another round of fertilizer to replenish the top layer of soil with nutrients that may have washed away from the constant watering.

Homeowners can employ a similar process to overseed a lawn in the hopes of producing a thicker, more attractive landscape. Any thatch

and debris should be raked away, and the top layer of the lawn surface can be gently aerated. Top dress the lawn with a very thin layer of new soil and compost.

Broadcast the seed over the prepared lawn and lightly rake the new seeds to help them settle into the soil. Apply fertilizer and water the lawn frequently to keep the new seeds moist.

Once the seed has

established itself, you can water the lawn for longer periods and less frequently to help develop strong roots. Wait for the lawn to reach a height of three to four inches before the first cut of the season.

Many homeowners like to take on the challenge of seeding and preparing their lawns. But some may find the task is best left to the professionals.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The trial of a man accused of recklessly driving his speedboat into a houseboat on Shuswap Lake, killing the houseboat’s operator, is facing another lengthy delay.

Leon Reinbrecht’s B.C. Supreme Court trial on one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm is slated to resume on May 25.

Ken Brown was killed when the houseboat he was piloting was struck by Reinbrecht’s speedboat just after 11 p.m. on July 3, 2010, following a postCanada Day fireworks display on Magna Bay. Reinbrecht’s trial, which originally began in early February, has been plagued by delays. In its first week, the trial was adjourned for two weeks to allow defence lawyer Joe Doyle more time to review evidence that surfaced shortly before the trial began.

When the trial re-

n An RCMP officer puts up tape behind the remains of the houseboat with the speedboat embedded inside. sumed, it was adjourned for another 10

Leon Reinbrecht days to allow lawyers to examine a disc of evidence that had not initially been disclosed by police.

Another two-week break was taken in March due to a scheduling conflict for B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan.

Lawyers hoped the trial would conclude in early April, but Donegan scheduled time until the end of last week for a worst-case scenario.

The Crown closed its case last Wednesday and the first of two defence expert witnesses gave evidence on Thursday and Friday, April 23 and 24.

Donegan is now tied

up hearing a separate matter until late May. To this point, the trial has heard conflicting evidence about the lighting on Brown’s houseboat.

A police witness admitted last week the houseboat was not properly equipped with lights according to Transport Canada regulations.

Some witnesses have described the houseboat as being fully lit, while others have testified the boat was difficult to see prior to the crash.

Citizens rally to support food drive Chase has done it again!

The Chase Rotary Club had a goal of gathering one pound of food for each Chase resident – population 2,500.

The “yellow bags of help” were put on the porch and picked up for the Fourth Annual Spring Rotary Food Drive on Saturday

April 25 from 9 a.m. till noon.

Rotarians and friends collected more than 3,000 pounds of food for the Chase Hamper Society.

The totals are still climbing because the three First Nations bands, People’s Food and Drug and Safety Mart food stores were collection points and their totals

are still to be collected and counted. If your donation was missed, just drop it off at either of the Chase food stores and they will make sure it gets to the Chase Hamper Society.

The Chase Rotary Club is proud to be part of such a supportive community.

Chase royalty crowned The decisions are made, the judges are finished their work and the Miss Chase Excellence Program has a new queen, princess and Miss Congeniality These three young women were selected on Saturday, April 25 after a six-month journey of classes and public demonstrations of their skills, talents and newly acquired attributes.

During this time, a total of six candidates were subjected to two classes per week and were educated in current events, history of the Chase area, financial responsibility, modeling, deportment, public speaking, car maintenance and community service activities.

Besides being in Grade 11 at Chase Secondary School and maintaining their academic standing, they visited other communities and witnessed how these communities compared to their own experiences.

For these six candidates, the learning curve for some went straight up from the get-go and, for others, it was a gradual incline with challenges of time management, balancing personal time and just getting along with each other.

From October, each girl has grown immeasurably as witnessed by their parents who have said to the committee how their daughter’s confidence and perseverance have increased after all they

have endured.

The new queen is Kylie Schmidt who represented the Legion Ladies Auxiliary Branch #107 and plans, after graduation, to attend Thomspon Rivers University and become an English teacher. She also won the academic award which was selected by the high school as the candidate who managed to maintain her GPA or improve it over the six-month training program.

Princess is Megan Johnston who represented Safety Mart Foods and, after graduation, will enter TRU’s culinary program. She also won the History

of Chase award called the Alice MacDougall award after achieving the highest marks on the test.

The Miss Congeniality Award was given to Katherine Womacks who represented the Rotary Club and plans, after graduation, to attend TRU and become a teacher. She was given the “Garden of the Shuswap Blossom Award” which represents the candidate who ‘grew’ the most over the six months.

The retiring royalty (Joanna Carlin, Breanna Nickerson and Alicia Zeiger) were amazing ambassadors and the Miss Chase Excellence Committee

wishes them the best in their future endeavours.

Committee members Jacquie Everett, Pam Hartley and Tralee Mazu appreciate all the candidates for their continual support over the past six months and say they know each will carry these lessons for the rest of their lives.

The committee members also appreciate federal, provincial and municipal government support as well as that of local sponsors.

They’ve also appreciated the girls’ parents, who have supported them and their daughters in all their activities.

A community enhanced by tourism

SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman There has always been a significant community on the north side of Little River, as evidenced by the many kekuli pit house depressions near the outlet of Shuswap Lake just to the east of the Squilax gas station. At one time there may have been many hundreds, if not thousands of Secwepemc people wintering there on what is now sacred ground. However, by the late 1970s, the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band reserve was looking somewhat threadbare, with high unemployment, very few band members living on the reserve, and its prime recreational lakefront property dominated by leased beach cabins.

When Felix Arnouse became chief, he, the serving band councillors and band members decided it was time for many much-needed improvements and with the leases coming due there was an option for major changes. After numerous band meetings and much brainstorming the decision was made to develop a resort and not just any resort, but a world class, four-star destination lodge, conference centre and golf course.

The first step was building a new band office and community hall so the council and staff could finally move out of the dilapidated trailer. As Secwepemc culture was also high on the agenda, pow wow grounds were built and the first event was held in 1981. Once a substantial number of leases on Little Shuswap Lake were retired in 1989, construction of the lodge began with a design inspired by the traditional round pit house and that included massive log beams, ani-

mal carvings and rock painting designs.

As the resort grew, so did the community, with improved infrastructure and more services for its nearly 200 resident band members.

A fire-safe, southwest architectural theme was chosen for many of the new buildings, with stucco exteriors and tile or metal roofs. Driving past the resort, one will find a combined day care and wellness centre. Behind the centre is housing for the elders and along the lake are modern town houses. In the hills above is a massive water tower that was recently connected to a new pump house along the Adams River.

Fire safety is key at Quaaout, with the new firehall built across from the administration building. The old firehall is now home to the band’s cultural centre, where Barb Callihoe works with youth and elders to tan hides and create traditional moccasins and baskets made from birchbark or pine needles. Some of these goods are marketed in the storefront next to the gas station. During the spring, summer and fall, Barb’s group heads out into the forests to collect craft materials, medicinal herbs, berries

and other traditional plant foods.

As is true for many First Nation communities, salmon are essential to Quaaout culture and sustenance. Fisheries Manager Aaron Arnouse looks after the fish fence at Scotch Creek as well as numeration projects for many other local creeks and rivers. During the runs, eight to 15 staff members monitor the streams. They also bring fish from the Thompson River and prepare it in the traditional manner for the elders. Aaron’s focus is on sustainability, as despite direction from Fisheries and Oceans Canada to allow the harvest of thousands of fish, he often decides to let these fish spawn instead.

The Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band’s new chief, Oliver Arnouse, is proud of the developments made at Quaaout and he is dedicated to maintaining traditional cultural values. He teaches their language, Secwepemctsn, at the hall in Quaaout and in the band’s small hall on their reserve in Tappen.

Quaaout, explained Chief Arnouse, means, “where the sun’s rays first touch in the morning.” Also, the lodge was designed with the

four corners defined by where the sun’s rays first touched at the beginning of each season.

After the lodge opened in 1991, business was slow to get going, but it began to get much busier once the conference centre was completed. However, it was the award winning Talking Rock golf course that has really made the difference and now the resort is booked a year in advance.

When I last visited on a Sunday to take photos, there was an Aboriginal Art Festival in the conference centre, an outrigger canoe group out on the lake, golfers coming and going, and the popular brunch filling the restaurant with customers.

One outstanding feature of the resort is the traditional grounds between the lodge and the lake, where there is a kekuli to explore, a salmon smokehouse to see, interpretive signs to study and a magnificent view of the Little Shuswap Lake to enjoy. For many guests and visitors, it is Quaaout that has put the Shuswap on the map. We should be appreciative of how this one small First Nation band turned an exciting and ambitious vision into an amazing reality.

CAVE, BEATRICE MARJORIE 1927 – 2015 We regretfully announce the passing of Beatrice Marjorie Cave on April 24, 2015 at the age of 87 years. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at Hillside Village with loved ones by her side.

Bea was born in Edmonton, AB on March 2, 1927, the eleventh child of Valentine and Minnie Kulak.

She is survived by her loving husband Vincent Cave of Salmon Arm, children Darlene Grothen of Fairview, AB, Dale Buckmaster of Williams Lake, Randy (Alice) Buckmaster of Enderby, and Kelly Buckmaster of Salmon Arm, as well as eight grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

Bea was a very gifted person who loved many different crafts, from oil painting to papertole and was a perfectionist, everything had to be just right before she was satisfied. She was an accomplished seamstress and made all her own clothes for many years.

Bea loved music, country & western mostly, and had a good singing voice. She loved to play her Dobro and sing. She also loved the Lord and I am sure she is singing with the angels now.

There will be no funeral, but a family gathering will be held at a later date.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories of Bea through her obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

LARSON, JOYCE MABEL 1940 - 2015 We are so sad to announce that our dear friend and sister, Joyce Larson passed away on Monday, April 20th, 2015 after a courageous battle with cancer, just prior to her 75th birthday.

She died peacefully surrounded by her church family and friends.

Joyce was predeceased by her first husband Evan Larson, her third husband Don Oliver and her sons Shane, Brian, Derrick and Wade Walsh. She is survived by her brothers William and Blair Patterson and sisters Elva Rogers and Nellie Patterson as well as her sisterin-law Joan Mounce and brother and sister-in-law Glen and Eleanor Larson. Other surviving family members include her foster daughter Eva Bailey, granddaughter Montana Bialey, ex-husband Gerald Walsh and her “adopted” grandson Gary Baars.

Joyce was born in Windsor, Nova Scotia on April 23, 1940 and sadly, her mother died within a few months of the birth. During her childhood, Joyce lived with her aunt and later with her father and step-mother. She came to British Columbia, the first time in 1960, then returned in 1964, travelling by train with four young children to meet her husband in Coal Harbour. Joyce resided in several other BC communities including Vancouver, Chilliwack, Surrey and Revelstoke before moving to Salmon Arm. During her life, Joyce was an active member in a number of organizations; Al Anon, Citizens on Patrol and Power Pioneers.

Joyce was a small lady with a “larger than life” personality. She touched the lives of many people and dispensed her homespun Maritime wisdom to all who knew her! Joyce loved and valued people and cared for them unconditionally without prejudice. She was especially fond of children and delighted in her interactions with them.

Joyce will be greatly missed by her church family, friends at MacIntosh Grove and the Senior’s Centre as well as her relatives in BC and Nova Scotia.

We thank the doctors and nurses of Shuswap Lake General Hospital for the kind and professional care. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to ShuswapHospitalFoundation.org 250-803-4546.

A celebration of Joyce’s life will be held at the Salmon Arm Church of Christ on Saturday, May 2nd, 2015 at 2:00 PM (located at the Scout Hall, 2460 Auto Rd., Salmon Arm, BC). Lunch and fellowship will follow the service.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm 250-833-1129.

Email condolences and share memories of Joyce through her obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

No one knows how much we miss you.

No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered since we lost you.

Life will never be the same.

In our hearts your memory lingers, Always tender, fond, and true.

There not a day, my Brandon, We do not think of you.

Coast guard hysteria sinks lower

B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher

Sicamous Business Directory

The Vancouver media’s frantic coverage of the Great Bunker Spill of 2015 has just about run out of fuel.

By late last week, the usually serious Globe and Mail was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at first told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good.

But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leaking grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good. This U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Vancouver spill very closely,” and was basically speculating.

But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the established narrative that the Harper government is gutting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil shipments to Asia.

Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philosophy prof recently suggested that Stephen Harper likes war. Maybe he likes oil spills too.

A retired captain from the now-closed Kitsilano Coast Guard station became the latest of a series of disgruntled ex-employees and union bosses to serve as the media’s goto critics.

He contradicted Coast Guard management at every turn, dismissing them as political appointees with little operational experience.

His claims about loss of spill response capability from Kitsilano are questionable at best. There was no talk of spill response when Kitsilano closed two years ago, because it was a search and rescue station.

Former B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair held almost daily news conferences as it closed.

People are going to drown, warned a parade of union spokespeople.

It’s been two years, and nobody has.

Premier Christy Clark and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson were quick to summon TV cameras as

oil-sheen angst spreading through condo towers. They declared the Coast Guard response a failure before they had any real understanding of it.

Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees, has vowed a full-scale election advertising attack on the Conservatives this year.

On federal budget day, Unifor protested the closure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitoring station. Similar stations in Vancouver and Comox are also closing this year, replaced by a new monitoring system run from Prince Rupert and Victoria.

I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service.

He said 1970s-era ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety.

“These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were destaffed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end.

And it turned out to be complete nonsense.”

Unifor operatives

rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.)

What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology.

There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them.

The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions.

But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply.

Benefits of shopping locally When factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense than driving to a faraway mall. In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers.

Small businesses are an essential element to the country’s economic growth. By shopping locally, consumers are showing their support for this important segment of the national economy.
