Silver Creek school to remain open Education: North Shuswap, Falkland to convert to K-8, others still under review.

By Tracy Hughes

market news staff

Students will be entering classrooms at Silver Creek Elementary in September after the School District #83 board voted against closing the school.

The school, which now has 36 students enrolled, had been proposed for closure as part of a long-term facilities plan in response to low numbers and the need to reduce costs.

Parents and school district staff

rallied to prevent the shut down, arguing in favour of converting the school to a Montessori education model which, they say, would boost student numbers and provide a new educational option for students in the school district.

Another primary concern was the long bus ride either to Hillcrest Elementary or possibly Salmon Arm West. This would see some students on the bus for an hour and 15 minutes each way, or 30 hours per month.

When it came to the vote, the ma-

jority of trustees opted to keep the school open, causing an eruption of applause and cheers from anxious parents in the audience.

“I’m ecstatic,” said parent Kristy Clark. “If the school closed, it was going to be homeschooling, so keeping the doors open, this is the much better option. I’m thrilled.”

Trustee Debbie Evans championed the effort to keep the school open, her hands shaking and her voice breathless as she implored her fellow trustees to keep the school

open. She noted the closure would reduce property values and fracture the entire community.

“You can’t put rural schools in a cookie cutter,” she said.

“If this is passed, we could lose not only the school but the library, the store, the fabric of rural life. We cannot ignore that.”

showing them there were other options for Silver Creek than closure.

“You came with a solution and that is heartwarming. You showed us how the community was working together.

You were not complaining, instead you were telling us how great it could be,” said Bobbi Johnson, board chair.

But other trustees warned the board that keeping the school open does have implications for the school district’s budget and services to the entire student population.

Trustee Barry Chafe, who was the lone vote in favour of closing the school, noted the budget keeping Silver Creek classrooms operating is “more than I’ve ever seen.”

“Every action has a reaction and keeping this school open, the consequences are just too high.”

This was echoed by trustee Michel Saab, who encouraged a complete review of the district’s educational philosophy.

“Any time you increase in one area, it’s at the expense of another… If we are going to make it a priority to keep all the small rural schools open, we are going to also have to run a basic secondary, without all those options and services. And I wonder if we will see those same parents back here when their kids are in high school asking for those very services.”

Evans made a motion to immediately begin moving Silver Creek Elementary to a Montessori model, with a three-year funding commitment to the program; however, this was not palatable to most trustees.

Instead, a committee will be formed to evaluate the Montessori option at Silver Creek, and to consider converting the school to a K-Grade 8 model in an effort to boost enrolment and offer a different option to students than Shuswap Middle School. The committee is to report back in Feb. 2016.

In addition to the Silver Creek closure, trustees also dealt with four other recommendations from the longterm facilities plan.

They agreed to do away with a plan to convert Parkview Elementary School in Sicamous to the K-Grade 5 model and put Grade 6 and 7 students into Eagle River Secondary. Instead, as was the consensus among Sicamous parents at the public information meeting, the board will review options to convert one of the Sicamous schools into a K-12 configuration.

“We know things cannot stay as they are.

There is optimism that Sicamous can do anything, just give us some time,” said Chafe.

Trustees also unanimously supported motions to add Grade 8 to North Shuswap and Falkland schools, which are both currently operating under a K-Grade 7 structure.

Burning ban starts today

By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

Dry conditions, high temperatures, low humidity and the possibility of dry lightning – extreme fire conditions and a recipe for wildfire starts.

While the danger rating in most of the Salmon Arm Fire Zone is high, Sunnybrae was reported to be in extreme danger Monday.

And an upper lowpressure area from Oregon had been expected to meet an upper high from the northeastern part of the province, with the possibility of dry lightning and thunderstorms through Thursday.

In response to the forecast and drier than normal conditions, the Kamloops Fire Centre is putting a lid on open burning at noon Friday, May 15, a month earlier than usual.

As always, Salmon Arm Fire Chief Brad Shirley says the City of Salmon Arm will follow suit, prohibiting all but small campfires.

The ban will be in place until Oct. 15, or until further notice.

Under this prohibition, members of the

public will not be allowed to: burn waste, slash or other material; burn stubble or grass or use fireworks or burning barrels.

“We had three wildfires in the Kamloops Fire Centre over the weekend, all less than three hectares in size but all human caused,” says fire information officer Kelsey Winter.

The total number of wildfires since April 1, the official start of this year’s fire season, is 25. All were personcaused, including two in the Salmon Arm zone.

Salmon Arm zone fire information officer Larry Osachoff says on April 16, firefighters were quick to extinguish a spot-sized fire in a Notch Hill logging block slash pile that somebody lit at night.

The fire is under investigation.

On April 29, logging activity 4.5 kilometres along the 130 Forest Service Road in Skimikin sparked a fire that grew to .3 of a hectare before being contained and put out.

“When they happened, it was just the start of the drying

trend,” Osachoff said.

“They definitely had our attention and had we not got control, they would have given us trouble.”

Campfires will still be permitted at this time, but must be no larger than one-half metre by one-half metre and must be for recreational use only or by a First Nation for a ceremonial purpose.

Winter says the Wildfire Protection Branch is also advising residents to clear out all brush from their properties.

“This is the last week people can get rid of material by Friday,” says Winter. “But they have all the restrictions; think water, tools and people on the fire the whole time.”

And when it comes to campfires, Winter reminds users to make sure they extinguish them fully. That means the ashes are cold to the touch.

A safer option is to buy a propane campfire.

But Osachoff says people need to be sure they buy only CSA-approved units and check to make sure they are in good working order as

they age.

“You still have to be careful where you put them,” he says, noting the Forest Protection Branch is anxious to get the word out on the fire prohibition as soon as possible. “The long weekend in May is when people come to the Shuswap, open their cabins and camp, and the first thing they want is a campfire.”

Brush fire The Salmon Arm Fire Department was alerted to a fire in a heavily forested section of a property at 2101 28th St. NE Tuesday morning.

A neighbour alerted firefighters to the fire where assistant fire chief Jim Nickles says the brush and trees had been smouldering for quite a while.

“It was most likely human caused,” he said, noting there is a children’s fort in the vicinity.

“It was going pretty well; some of the trees were heavily charred.”

Firefighters extinguished the fire that grew to 15 metres by 10 metres in size.

All about the Shuswap

By Barb Brouwer

MArKet neWS StAff

The Shuswap draws many visitors and makes many of its full-time residents feel smug. More than that, the Shuswap is a complex system of microclimates, ecology and geology – an area that has also been impacted by humans.

This is the focus of Everything Shuswap, the first book in a three-part series by Jim Cooperman.

President of the Shuswap Environmental Action society (SEAS), a historian and columnist, Cooperman’s love for the Shuswap is evidenced by his actions on the region’s behalf.

Based on the principle of bioregionalism that fosters a sense of place, Everything Shuswap’s overall viewpoint is that the Shuswap is the best place in which to live.

Cooperman says the book is designed to

support education with a focus on facts.

Project goals include: • to provide accurate geographical knowledge; • improve geographical literacy; • foster greater appreciation and respect; • help raise the profile of the Shuswap; • Encourage tourism and settlement and • raise funds to support volume two.

After taking the reader on a tour of the watershed, the first volume addresses the geology and ecology of the Shuswap, followed by a look at the Secwepemc First Nation and the history of settlement.

Volume two will examine Shuswap communities, the economy and arts and culture.

With the need to raise sufficient funds to publish the book, Cooperman recently pitched his project to the board of directors of the Columbia Shus-

SCOTT W O O D S S HO W

wap Regional District and will be meeting with Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo.

School District #83 superintendent Glenn Borthistle attended the April 23 CSRD board meeting to lend his support.

“This book will serve as a local learning resource in support of curriculum and will be available to all of our students and teachers,” he told directors.

“Students will have access to the digital research materials that were gathered in the course of compiling the book and will be involved in ongoing research and will benefit directly as revenue from sales of the book will go directly to support this program.”

School District #83 trustees have since given Everything Shuswap their blessing.

“The school district is excited about the op-

portunities provided by Everything Shuswap for the school system and for our region,” said Borthistle, who notes the district is not providing financial support at this time. “Part of the agreement is we will receive a number of copies for the library and reference use and in class, and of money raised, half will go to our outdoor education program.”

Cooperman is very pleased with the school board support and says many teachers have expressed excitement at the prospect of upto-date, relevant information for their classrooms.

More funds are needed to move the project forward. To contribute, visit www.everything shuswap.ca.

Once printed, books will be available in the Observer office and at the chamber of commerce.

Trailer access causes impasse

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

An impasse over the creation of boat-trailer access to the lake has occurred at the Gardom Lake Planning Committee.

Doug Hearn, chair of the Gardom Lake Community Park Society, says the 18 members of the planning committee easily reached consensus on eight of the goals set out in the plan without problem – goals around water quality, environment integrity, riparian and upland protection and recreation.

The stumbling block is the issue of boat trailer access to the lake, says Hearn.

“There is no disagreement about the need and desirability of public access; there’s only disagreement about whether a trailer needs to enter the lake,” he says. “The group identified three accesses – Musgrave Road, Teal Road and the beach at the community park.”

A year ago, an environmental professional deemed there should be no further development at Musgrave Road and, while the province says Teal Road is a right-ofway, not a launch area, for practical purposes, Hearn says it has served

as a boat launch for 40 years.

He says members of the park committee are opposed to having a boat trailer launch installed at the beach.

“To put a launch there would require extensive destruction of the riparian and upland area, and would also displace the beach and picnic area, which are the primary

Doug Hearn uses of the park,” says Hearn, noting there are often 70 people on the beach, that kayaks and canoes are easily launched there already and do not interfere with people swimming or fishing from the wharf.

“So do we take away the opportunity for families to use the beach and play area in order to allow a beach access for trailers?”

Hearn points out the park has been wellmanaged by local residents for the past 25 years.

He estimates that

while everyone on the management plan committee is interested in protecting the lake, more than 50 per cent believe a boat ramp is required.

Although he understands why fishing groups want easier access to the lake, he says the recent prohibition of gas-powered boats on the lake could significantly alter the profile of lake users, and that one of the accepted goals is to collect baseline recreational data about the uses of the lake.

“Should we not gather that recreational data before we decide if we need boat trailer access?” he asks. “I don’t want to come across as being negative about the planning process; the only one we couldn’t agree on was the boat launch.”

Tracy Thomas of the Fraser Basin Council, who is facilitating the plan on behalf of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, says there have been valid points expressed on both sides of the issue.

A public meeting to discuss the issue was held Thursday night, after the Market News press time. Following this, the Fraser Basin Council will prepare a report for the CSRD board, where the matter will be decided.

Alberta survives bloodless coup

The recent Alberta election was an example of the democratic process at its best.

We aren’t talking about the results. Whether or not the New Democrats can stabilize that mismanaged ship is yet to be seen.

It’s the process to achieve the result that should give all Canadians pause for thought, and a reason to be thankful for the society in which we live.

What happened in Alberta was, anecdotally, a civil upheaval – a coup d’état, but in a completely civilized manner.

In many countries, such a drastic change of government would come at a heavy cost. Lives would be lost. Millions of lives have been lost in countries around the world in efforts to overthrow long-reigning governments.

And yet, in our neighbouring province, the wounds were limited to the egos of those who thought change could never happen in that oil-rich, rightwing driven economy.

The democratic process is alive and well.

The talking heads are still analyzing the results.

Some say the arrogance of 44 years of power got to the Conservative supporters – that many of them thought there was no way another party in Alberta could ever garner enough support.

On the other side, the “Notley Crew” is basking in the afterglow of a well-run campaign, feeding off the anger of the average Albertan. The lies, deception and ridiculous government spending had gone on long enough for the majority of those who took the time to vote and now the change they demanded is real.

Will it prove to be a good move for Alberta? Only time will tell.

Undoubtedly, B.C.’s NDP leader John Horgan has already not only congratulated Notley on her victory, but also asked for her campaign notes.

OPINION

Good gear for crossing perilous waters In last week’s column, I suggested the trick to wading in fast flowing waters is having an understanding of what you’re up against before venturing out.

Simply stated, I suggested that being able to keep one’s balance is of utmost importance, and that an angler needs to take into consideration a number of scientific factors such as: current direction, the amount of water pressure exerted by the current, water depth and temperature, and the amount of algae and subaquatic plant life on the rocks and gravel on the bottom of the stream – not to mention one’s physical height, weight, strength and stamina – all in order to successfully gain access to the other side.

I also talked about using a wading staff. There are commercially made, welldesigned, collapsible wading staffs that one can buy in fishing tackle stores that fit quite nicely into a tackle bag or day pack. There are also whole forest floors covered with branches that will serve the same purpose. I’m the sort that is inclined to forget

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray a store-bought wading staff at home or in the vehicle, and lean towards the branchstyle of wading staff.

There are a number of other items of fishing/wading gear that one also needs to consider beyond a good life-jacket.

Anglers who routinely spend time wading out into, and/or crossing moving waters have likely already considered what type of waders they are most comfortable wearing, and what material they prefer for the soles of their waders. I prefer wearing wading boots over my waders, and will only use felt soles on my boots for the plain and simple reason that they do not slip as much on

algae-covered rocks. Waders with rubber-soled boots built in are downright dangerous, in my opinion, and should not even be considered for angling in moving waters, regardless of depth, current and/or stream bottom.

Another important piece of gear that comes into play when crossing a stream is a good pair of polarized sunglasses. These will break the glare on the surface of the water and allow you to attain a somewhat better view of the stream bottom – depending on the depth of the water and the amount of silt being carried in the water by the current.

Slipping and falling in even shallow waters can cause a rod to snap. No rod, no fishing. This brings me to the third and most important item of fishing gear - so to speak: one’s choice of a fishing partner. This is where the common-sense part comes into wading or crossing a stream. Should you lose your footing and fall into the water, it is better to have someone else there. One little slip and things can sometimes go horribly wrong. A broken

rod is one thing, a sprained or broken ankle is another.

Not to mention the fact the current can carry you into a very dangerous and/or lifethreatening situation in a matter of seconds. I would never even consider crossing a fast-flowing stream by myself.

For the better part of 20 years now I have fished many a river and stream with my friend Corey. He is younger and considerably stronger than I. Both are factors I have become very aware of during our many hours casting some of the best salmon and steelhead waters this province has to offer.

I remember wading across one particular stream and finding myself up to my hips in fairly fast-moving water. I was inching my way across, feeling a little insecure, when I noticed Corey move from the upstream to the downstream side of me. He said nothing, but I knew that he was positioning himself … just in case I slipped. He would be there to grab me.

I now know that he will always be there – just in case.

The Secwepemc use of wild plants

SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman With balsamroot sunflowers now blooming on hillsides throughout the Shuswap, it is a good time to reflect on the use of these plants and others by the Secwepemc people for food, medicine, technology and ceremonies.

The number of plant species utilized is estimated to be more than 135, and these plants probably accounted for well over half of First Nations’ nutritional needs. Anecdotal evidence also points to the exceptional health benefits of diets that included native plants.

Famed Neskonlith elder Dr. Mary Thomas was an authority on the use of these plants, as she harvested many varieties every year and taught others how to utilize them. Mary explained how just the smaller balsamroots were dug up, peeled and steamed in pits, roasted or dried for the winter. The larger roots were used for medicine, including use as a balm for skin ailments, such as ulcers or poison ivy.

The emergent leaves and peeled bud stocks are also edible, and were steamed or eaten raw, and the seeds were ground into flour and SAVE 28%

made into cakes with dried berries.

Springtime was a special season for the Secwepemc people as they emerged from their pit houses and were able to enjoy fresh, green wild produce. A favourite springtime food was bare-stem desert parsley, which Mary called wild celery. The stem of the bloom was peeled and eaten fresh. The roots of a similar plant, the large-fruited desert parsley, were also harvested in the spring.

Called qweqw’ila, these carrot-like roots have a strong peppery taste and were eaten raw, boiled, or dried for winter use.

The plant also has medicinal value, as an infusion was made to treat heart problems.

Another early plant that had to be harvested prior to blooming was the cow-parsnip, also known as “wild rhubarb” or xwtellp. The leafstalks and flower buds are a delicacy and can be eaten raw, steamed or roasted. The roots of the water parsnip were also harvested early, have high sugar content and a taste like carrots. Extreme caution is necessary with these “parsnip” plants as they resemble the water-hemlock which is so poisonous that the root powder was used as an arrow poison.

The corms or bulbotuber of the western spring beauty were often referred to as “mountain potato.”

These plants grow at mid to high elevations and the leaves, which are high in vitamins A Black Earth Organic Soil.

and D, were also eaten.

Known as skwakwina in the eastern dialect, the “potatoes” were stored in pits for the winter. Often the smaller corns were re-planted to ensure ongoing sustainable harvests.

Entire communities often camped at the gathering locations for days or weeks where designated elders directed the harvesting.

Digging sticks called pétse, shaped like a capital T, were made from Saskatoon or black hawthorn wood with antler or birch handles, sharpened to a point and hardened by fire.

Use of these sticks allowed the plant to keep growing rather than the use of a shovel-like tool that could dig up and destroy the entire plant.

Berries are another important staple food for indigenous people and the most important type for the Secwepemc is the Saskatoon or serviceberry. Some 20 types of berries were utilized, including thimbleberries, blueberries, soapberries, huckleberries and cranberries. The Secwepemc sustainably managed their land base by periodically burning areas to encourage the growth of berry plants.

This “speming” method also pruned the shrubs, thus encouraging new growth and more berries in subsequent years.

Harvesting wild foods involves much more than digging and picking, as a complex protocol, established over thousands of years, governed the process.

SOUTH SHUSWAP

Maintaining great quality of life

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Water damage at Sunnybrae Community Hall will be addressed, thanks to a $6,896 grant in aid from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

Sunnybrae Community Association president Sharda Murray-Kieken says the damage is in the corner of the kitchen, which is located in the old part of the hall that was built in the 1950s.

The damage is underneath the floor, which will require some demolition in order to reach and complete structural repairs.

“A commercial dishwasher, which we think might be the problem, will have to come out,” says Murray-Kieken.

“We will have to take out one run of cupboards, the sink and taps, which are pretty old, and we’ll have the dishwasher serviced.”

Murray-Kieken says membership in the association has grown to about 75, many of whom are committed to the hall and the community.

“We still have Chris Clark on the board and he was here when the addition was built in the 1970s,” she says.

“He’s an indication of how committed people are to this hall;

he just keeps working and working for it and so does his wife Joan. They are lovely people.”

As well as being grateful for committed association members, Murray-Kieken has high praise for Joanie Robertson and Robbie Milne, who hold their regular coffeehouses in the hall.

Robertson started the coffeehouses at Sunnybrae with her partner, the late Gord Milne, a popular musician who died five years ago, she notes.

“The coffeehouse is a major donor and they support and help us with the fundraising,” says Murray-Kieken, who is serving her second term as president.

“They pay good rent and they have been a major supporter of the association for more than two decades.”

The Sunnybrae Community Association holds four big events a year to raise funds for the hall – a cabaret, plant and book sale, Halloween fireworks in partnership with the TappenSunnybrae Fire Department and, new this year, a Family Day on Aug. 8 that will feature, games, a barbecue and live entertainment.

“The cabaret was a huge success and we raised over $5,000 last

n Members of the Sunnybrae Community Association take a break from the annual cleanup. The next event to which members of the public are invited is the annual plant and book sale on Sunday, May 24. year, which, for a little place like us, is really great,” she said, noting the association needs $30,000 to install a permanent roof over the outside patio area.

“The Halloween fireworks have been huge, with 300 people coming out last year.”

Murray-Kieken says a weekly yoga program is a big success.

Making the decision to move into a retirement home is not an easy one for some. It may feel like giving up on all that is familiar; but some look at it in a different way.

It is a new journey in life, and one that can be fun and rewarding too.

You’ve earned it! Consider the responsibilities and costs associated with being a homeowner. Now consider the freedom from house and yard work!! Consider the silence and isolation of living alone; now think about the bustle that goes on in group living and involvement in new activities. It’s more than just bingo!

If you have never seen what goes on in these types of environments, take the time to check it out. And do it while you can still make the trip yourself. Leaving the choice too late is leaving it up to someone

else to make the choice for you.

Retirement living is not necessarily a ‘care home’ environment.

This type of a lifestyle leaves you more time to manage any medical issues you may have, takes you out of the kitchen and ensures that shopping is something you do for fun now! You can still go out to visit friends, you can still volunteer and be a part of all the service groups you were involved in before.

In some places, you can still own a pet!

Look around at the retirement homes in your community and pick one that suits your life. Most provide meals, laundry, transportation and the safety and security that you do not have if you are still living alone in the family home. The rest you can do for yourself!

It is a good idea to start downsizing and ‘streamlining’ your belongings sooner than later; most adult children dread the thought of having to go through all their parents belongings and treasures after there has been some crisis. That task should be done by you and well before the day before you move or are moved into a care home. The adult children of today typically have everything they need and don’t want to be left with the clean up.

So consider the move to a retirement residence before you are in need of a care home! At least start to educate yourself about these wonderful places and talk to your support people about it. Be proactive about taking these steps and see where they lead...

Shelves grow bare

n Second Harvest Food Bank volunteers Lorraine Ellens, Cindy Hopkins and Ingrid Zechel sort out vegetables for distribution. The shelves are bereft of inventory, and staff are appealing to the community for donations of food (not expired) and/or money, which is used to buy fresh produce and other products required to provide healthy food options for those who utilize the food bank.

In particular, Second Harvest is really low on non-perishable items such as macaroni and cheese, soups and toilet paper. Also appreciated would be any rhubarb that anyone is willing to donate. For more information, people are asked to call 250-833-4011.

Physical activity: Do you measure up?

HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner Many of us are gifted at avoiding physical activity.

Growing up, my dad had a special relationship with our black Labrador retriever, Casey. This dog rode shotgun in his car, visited his workplace, got special snacks, but did not get many walks from my dad.

When this task was designated to my day, he started using his vehicle to take her for early morning runs.

When the wife put an end to this tactic, he moved on to the bike. Unfortunately, one fateful tree got in between my dad, the leash and the dog, resulting in a broken arm and ending the biking routine.

In general, Canadians do not get enough exercise. In fact, Canada has recently published activity guidelines for every age group.

For children, the competing interest is

screen time. In adults, time and motivation are the struggle.

Despite knowing that regular exercise is the best way to stay healthy and avoid chronic disease, excuses come easily: We don’t have time.

We are too tired. The weather is not perfect.

May is a great month to start an exercise program, as the weather is nice but not scorching, the days are long And it is Bike to Work Month!

So what are the minimum guidelines for physical activity?

Toddlers and preschoolers: Three hours at any intensity throughout the day.

This includes playing outside, crawling, walking, dancing, and swimming. Activity builds healthy hearts and muscles, improves coordination and learning and develops selfconfidence. For children under two, zero screen time is recommended. For 2-4 year olds, less than one hour per day is recommended.

Children and teenagers: Sixty minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity daily, with activities that strengthen muscles and bones at least three days a week.

This could include playing in the play-

ground, riding a bike, swimming and playing sports. Exercise is important to maintain health and fitness, school performance, maintaining a positive body image and selfconfidence and feeling happy. Screen time should be limited to no more than two hours per day.

Adults and seniors: at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity per week in bouts of 10 minutes or more, with muscle and bone strengthen-

ing activities at least two days a week.

In adults, regular activity can reduce risk of chronic disease, improve bone density and mobility, maintain independence and improve our mental health.

So get on your bike and ride to work, but if you are taking your dog, let go of the leash!

Junior boys trounce Vernon Salmon Arm Secondary’s Junior Boys Rugby team defeated Vernon Secondary School 27 to 10 last Friday.

The second half is where SAS made great gains, with the first half a nail bitter, says coach Greg Seed.

VSS opened the scoring with a lot of pressure to score seven minutes into the match.

SAS countered with a strong run through the VSS team by Ryder Fortes to pass the ball backward to Noah Dies, to put the ball

over the try line. Alex Muir scored 10 minutes later with an inspiring run from Eric ‘the’ Bruce.

Then it was a gallant Ryder Fortes number 8 pick-and-run over their wily winger from 10 yards out to score another five points.

VSS came back strong with another try. Making two more brilliant runs, shrugging off two and three players using his long straight arm, Noah Dies scored two more tries.

Thank You...

On behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society, I would like to offer a sincere thank you to the communities of Salmon Arm, Sorrento and Blind Bay for supporting Daffodil Month during April.

When loved ones are diagnosed with or pass away from cancer, we often want to do something to help or honor them. By wearing the daffodil pin in April, Shuswap residents collectively stood together to show people living with cancer they are not alone.

Local residents supported the campaign by volunteering their time to sell daffodil pins and fresh flowers. Thanks to the efforts of these dedicated volunteers and the generosity of community members, together we took another step towards creating a world where no Canadians fears cancer. Each and every day, the Society is working hard to accomplish our mission of eradicating cancer and enhancing the quality of life of those living with the disease.

We do this by funding the most promising cancer research, offering vital support to those living with cancer, and trying to prevent cancer in the first place by educating Canadians about early detection and advocating for healthy public policies.

While cancer takes a huge toll on Canadians it’s important to remember that progress is being made against this disease. In the 1940s, the survival rate was 25%. Today, over 60% of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least 5 years after their diagnosis. And the survival rates for some cancers are much higher -- with childhood cancer at 83%, breast at 88% and prostate at 96%.

The Canadian Cancer Society’s continued impact in the fight against all cancers would not be possible without the generosity of our volunteers, donors and community partners in Salmon Arm, Sorrento and Blind Bay. We are very grateful for your support and wish to thank you for joining us. Together, we can change cancer forever.

Sincerely, Terry Jobe Salmon Arm Unit President Canadian Cancer Society, Southern Interior Region

Outlaws pull out a win over Monashees In the North Okanagan Soccer League’s Men’s soccer on May 6, the Salmon Arm Outlaws took on the Vernon Monashees in their first away game of the year.

The first part of the game was controlled

by Monashees with nice passing in the middle of the field, but a mistake on the back line gave Outlaw striker Sergei Demens a chance to take a nice shot to the bottom corner of the net.

The Monashees didn’t give up without a fight and kept pushing on the Outlaws’ back line. Their persistence paid off with a nice cross in from the right side and a headed goal to tie the game 1-1 early in the second half.

The Outlaws started to get sloppy, giving away two free kicks back-to-back, but goalkeeper Travis Fox made some nice saves to keep the team in it.

With one last push, midfielder Kyle Turnbull took a long-range shot with a crowded box. He hoped for the best, but hit the cross bar.

With just 10 minutes left in the game, Demens beat the Monashees’ defender and got his second goal of the game.

Final score, Salmon Arm Outlaws 2, Vernon Monashees, 1.

Friday, May 15, 2015 Shuswap Market News

Life means life FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes As promised in the 2013 speech from the throne, our government has introduced legislation to make sure a life sentence means a life sentence, for those who commit the most heinous crimes.

The Life Means Life Act would ensure that offenders who are convicted of heinous crimes or high treason will be imprisoned for the rest of their natural lives with no access to parole.

A life sentence under this act would be applied to premeditated murder involving sexual assault; a kidnappingrelated offence; a terrorism-related offence; the killing of police officers or corrections officers; or conduct of a particularly brutal nature.

In addition to the mandatory sentences mentioned above, courts would have the discretionary option to impose life sentences without parole in any other first-degree mur-

der case or in cases where an offender, previously convicted of murder or of an international killing under the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act, commits a second degree murder.

Eliminating parole eligibility would eliminate the trauma that parole hearings cause to the families and loved ones of their victims.

To address constitutional concerns, this legislation will permit a criminal serving life without parole to apply to the Minister of Public Safety for exceptional release after serving no less than 35 years.

The proposed legislation on life sentences without parole would align Canada’s criminal justice approach with likeminded countries such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the U.S. and Australia.

My Private Member’s Bill, C-587, which I tabled four months ago, is aimed at establishing similar ineligibility for those convicted of the most heinous murders.

The Government’s Life Means Life Act will fulfill the objective of my bill and I will let C-587 die on the order paper to allow the government’s bill to be completed as soon as possible before the coming election.

“The regional chief needs to be the catalyst for advancing the recognition and implementation of aboriginal title and rights inclusive of treaty rights on the ground,” Leon stated in a news release.

New parking lot approved Evelyn Falls: Making more room for hikers, firefighters.

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Columbia Shuswap Regional District staff received board approval to amend a regional district Crown grant with the province of B.C. in order to permit the property to be used for firefighting and public park purposes.

Community Services team leader Ryan Nitchie advised directors at the April

23 board meeting that the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations requires a board resolution in order to amend the terms of the Crown grant to allow the regional district to construct a trailhead parking lot for the Evelyn Falls Trail System on the property.

Nitchie explained the Anglemont Firehall was constructed in the mid-1980s on donated

land that is relatively small. Additions to the building to the south of the firehall bay expansion and to the rear for training room facilities has used up most of the lot and off-street parking for the firehall is minimal.

“Currently, fire department members park on the narrow road which has a steep grade,” said Nitchie. “In 2014, a parked vehicle owned by a depart-

ment member began to slide and collided with another member’s vehicle, causing damage and creating a safety concern.”

Nitchie pointed out that a property about 100 metres north of the firehall meets the needs of the firefighters and can be shared as a parking lot for Evelyn Falls trail users.

Directors agreed and the motion passed unanimously.

First Nation communities and the lives of First Nation people of B.C.,” he said. “Social indicators such as academic achievement, state of health, unemployment rates and annual income paint a clear picture of social

injustice maintained by both governments.

“As regional chief I would, for the First Nation Leadership of B.C. work to build the relationship necessary with government to address the outstanding issues, and improve the quality of life that the Creator intended for our people.”

Leon’s focus as B.C. Regional Chief would include: • Advancement of Declarations of Aboriginal Title throughout B.C.; • Improved government-to-government relationship; • Creating economic certainty for First Nations; • Promotion of aboriginal business and

employment; • Support the revitalization and retention of aboriginal languages.

Leon concluded by saying, “I’m asking the First Nation leadership of B.C. for the opportunity to use my leadership experience and commitment to improving the quality of life for all our people.”

Shopping locally employs your neighbors, reducing their carbon footprints as well. Another benefit to shopping locally that’s often overlooked is the impact it can have on your neighbors’ carbon footprint. Local businesses often employ members of the community, which translates to shorter commutes, less highway congestion and less fuel consumption. So while shopping locally reduces your carbon footprint, it’s also helping members of your community reduce their own potentially negative impact on the environment.

Home &

Break ground with the right tools The right tools for the job can be the difference between an interminable landscaping project and one that goes smoothly and efficiently. Aspiring landscapers probably have a few shovels and rakes hanging in their garages and sheds for basic landscaping work. But while such tools are effective for certain projects, when it comes to churning soil for garden beds or digging holes for outdoor structures, additional tools come in handy. It may be well worth a trip to a nearby home center to purchase or rent one of these tools ideal for breaking ground.

Rototiller A rototiller, sometimes called just a “tiller,” is a powered garden tool designed to loosen soil prior to planting. A rototiller also can help aerate soil during the growing season. Because they reduce the need for manual spade digging or hoeing, tillers can be useful landscaping tools, particularly for homeowners who want to work efficiently.

Rototillers will break through tough soil and any plant roots. They come in a variety of sizes, and it’s best to match the tool to the size of the job. Many homeowners can get by with smaller, less powerful models, especially if the tiller is only necessary at the beginning of planting season.

Professional landscapers or those with large swatches of property may benefit from larger models.

Auger Augers, both mechanical and manual, are essentially large drill bits that help move materials from one location to another. Augers are typically

used to cut holes in landscapes, and they are good for post-hole drilling, which is part of the process of installing deck footings, fencing posts or other structures.

Augers come in a variety of sizes, and homeowners can choose how much power they prefer.

Augers can be heavy and cumbersome, and many do-it-yourselfers will find that one-person augers are more than adequate for their projects.

Augers dig deep holes, so it is always smart to have the property surveyed prior to use. This way pipes, gas lines, buried electrical lines, and any other obstructions are clearly identified prior to drilling.

Cultivator Cultivators are similar to tillers in that they loosen soil. Cultivators are effective during the growth period of plants, when they can be used to aerate the soil and remove weeds.

Cultivators come in hand-held versions and push models, and some are even motorized. Cultivators get close to plants to remove weeds without disturbing the plant.

They also are used to stir in compost or fertilizer.

While many people think cultivators and tillers are the same, that is not the case.

The former is less powerful and will mix the soil or stir up the top layer, while the latter can break up moderately hard ground and loosen firm soil.

When using any tools around the garden, wear the proper protection. This includes devices to protect hearing when power tools are in use as well as gloves and safety goggles. Tillers, augers and cultivators have the potential to toss soil and rocks into the air, so make sure others keep their distance while work is in progress.
