Tempers flare over access to lake

Gardom Lake: Residents, users have strong opinions on boat launch options.

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Like the sometimes ominous hush before a storm, a standingroom only crowd at Ranchero Firehall last Thursday was almost silent – until the issue of boat access to Gardom Lake was raised.

Anger and frustration were unleashed about one hour into a 90-minute meeting facilitated by the Fraser Basin Council to get public input on a draft management plan for the lake.

In his opening remarks, Fra-

ser Basin Council manager Mike Simpson advised the approximately 90 attendees that one of the roles of the non-profit organization is to help groups collaborate – something the council has been doing in order to gather information for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

“This is not a vote or plebiscite; that is not our mandate. All perspectives are valid and have a place here. We will try to hear all the input, but we’re not going to resolve everything,” he said, pointing out the planning committee had

reached consensus on all issues except the matter of boat-trailer access to the lake. “We are not government and we have no role in implementation.”

The crowd remained respectful and quiet throughout presentations on the work of the committee and state of the lake by Fraser Basin Council assistant regional manager Tracy Thomas and the Ministry of Environment’s Marge Sidney.

Boat trailer access was the last issue Thomas addressed and when the meeting was opened for public input, hands shot up, tempers flared

and feelings of distrust were displayed.

One bone of contention was a recent public survey that addressed the issue of access by asking respondents to tick a yes or no response to the question: “Does Gardom Lake need a safe, environmentally sustainable, trailered boat access and related infrastructure (i.e. parking, bathrooms, waste/recycling bins, year-round maintenance and snow removal)?

THE ADV ERTISING TEAM YOU CAN COUNT ON Continued from front One visibly angry woman said she thinks trailered access has been CSRD’s “hidden issue” and one they planned on addressing irrespective of public opinion.

“You can’t ask a yes or no question,” she said, maintaining Thomas was not happy with the lack of consensus on the issue at the committee level and “would like to produce something (in her report) rather than that.”

Another man, also angry, accused Simpson of slanting a recent radio interview, despite his initial comment that he did not have an opinion one way or the other.

“Why were you selling trailered access on the lake…? You slanted the conversation to that,” he shouted.

Another attendee brought up the issue of the three current boat access points and accused the regional district of putting the Musgrave site back on the table after a qualified environmental professional advised no further development take place there.

Many in attendance heralded their remarks by saying they are not trying to prevent access to the lake, but are adamant in their opposition to trailered access.

Several others expressed their anger about the possibility of establishing boat trailer access at the popular community

Hawk kills power supply MARKET NEWS STAFF

Osprey without a home – one. Human homes without power – 2,058.

That was the score following a fiery incident atop a Hydro pole in Salmon Arm on Sunday morning.

The power went out in Salmon Arm and other parts of the Shuswap between 6 and 7:45 a.m. May 17.

According to BC Hydro’s website, power was out south of Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road,

north of Ninth Avenue and west of 50th Street.

“The power outage on Sunday, May 17 in Salmon Arm was caused by an osprey nest that was built on the top of one of our poles in downtown Salmon Arm and came into contact with our wires,” reported BC Hydro’s Mary Ann Coules in an email to the Market News.

Coules said the osprey nest was burned, so it was removed from the pole.

“Luckily it was only partially complete and

there were no birds in or around the nest at that time,” she stated.

The nest was located on 9th Avenue NE, just behind the Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

On the heels of that came another outage.

“When our crew was on their way to repair this (osprey nestcaused) outage, they also noticed a broken cross arm on another pole. A forced outage was required to do the repair work safely.

This outage took place from 8:56 a.m. to 10:18 a.m.,” she wrote.

It affected 2,016 customers.

This time the area affected was west of Old Sicamous Road near Grandview Bench Road.

The BC Hydro website also notes that the power was out to 24 residences from the zero to 100 block of Shuswap Street South from 6:05 to 11:29 a.m. and then again from 11:43 a.m. to 3:46 p.m.

The first outage was caused by a “bird contacting our wires” while the second was “equipment failure.”

Klahani courts to draw pickleball players

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Good news for pickleball enthusiasts.

The old tennis court base in Klahani Park in South Canoe will be repaired and a ‘plexipave system’ surface coating will be added

to create three new pickleball courts.

Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, told council the park was set up for multi-use and tennis courts, and the city hopes to resurface the

tennis courts in the future.

Coun. Alan Harrison noted when the recreation master plan was being prepared and input sought, “the pickleball people were out in full force.” He said pickleball is the

New cemetery shaping up

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Work continues on the new cemetery on 20th Avenue SE, with completion expected about a year from now.

Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, informed city council recently that prep work will be done on the site over the summer, with the hope of adding irrigation and landscaping in the fall.

“We hope to have burials in the spring – that’s the game plan

right now,” he said.

The master plan for the site, located on the former rifle range land, includes leaving more than half the trees intact and selectively logging the rest so that burial areas, some with upright and some with flat markers, are ‘carved into’ groves of trees.

Along with an entryway, a formal ‘great lawn’ area would be created for holding memorials and ceremonies. Plans also encompass an opportunity for public art, footpaths and a columbaria wall.

The new cemetery will ac-

commodate the wish of 71 per cent of people in Salmon Arm surveyed to be cremated, as well as more traditional burials and what are called ‘green’ burials.

Such environmentally friendly burials include different levels of ‘greenness,’ with the minimum requirements including a biodegradable coffin, no embalming and no grave liner.

Food truck trial at Mosquito Park

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A food truck serving slo-pitch players at Mosquito Park in Canoe is a test case to see how the arrangement goes.

Back in April, Salmon Arm council received a letter from Michael Manahan with his “Wraps Chilli” food truck, requesting permission to operate at the park during the slo-pitch season. He said he had obtained the support of the president of the slopitch association.

Council agreed after discussions.

Coun. Louise Wallace Richmond asked about city zoning and policies, and noted the request was one the slopitch association supported.

Kevin Pearson, the city’s director of development services, told her “we don’t really have a policy except for saying no to these types of requests,” explaining the city gets all kinds of requests for things in city parks.

“It’s easy to say no, except for a proposal like this that makes sense… in a lot of ways,” he added.

“I think it’s worth a try,” said Coun.

Ken Jamieson, stating he hopes other mobile food concessions will apply.

Coun. Alan Harrison also wanted to ensure other vendors can apply to operate in the park and was told by city staff they can.

Coun. Kevin Flynn said that if any park needs a permanent hook-up for a concession stand, it’s Mosquito Park. Other councillors had pointed out there’s no sidewalk to walk to Canoe and most people tend to stay on site.

“I have a little concern not putting it out to tender with a lease rate, but this is the best way to test it,” Flynn said.

Permission to operate the mobile concession will extend to mid-October to accommodate the fall ball season.

Housing bubble continues to grow

For years, people have been saying the “big one” is going to hit the Lower Mainland, but it has yet to happen. It’s the same with Vancouver’s housing bubble – with that long-anticipated burst yet to come to fruition.

While we can only prepare for that inevitable earthquake, a way to help deflate the real estate bubble seems to be gaining traction.

Despite a brief pause with the downturn in the economy, the Lower Mainland’s housing market is ablaze. It’s a case where demand dramatically outweighs supply. Much of that demand is coming from foreign investors – particularly from China. While good for the province, a younger generation of Lower Mainlanders not fortunate enough to inherit a home are finding the market inaccessible. Former Canadian ambassador to China, David Mulroney, has written about this phenomenon and recommended the B.C. government follow the lead of other nations that have put in place policies to “keep their cities welcoming… but also protect people on fixed incomes or think thoughtfully about vacancies.”

A petition on www.change.org is also calling on the province to develop such a policy. More than 20,000 people have signed it, but B.C. Premier Christy Clark says that won’t be happening.

“By moving foreign owners out of the market housing prices will drop,” Clark told the media.

What Clark should have said was, “sorry, but this is what’s driving our province’s economy.”

Fact is, according to the B.C. government’s own figures, real estate, rental and leasing accounts for 17.5 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product (by comparison, natural resources accounts for 7.8 per cent, and manufacturing 7.2). Furthermore, the B.C. government has made great strides in improving its trade relations with China.

It’s unlikely Clark would risk all that just to put less-affluent B.C. families first.

OPINION

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Tailings of woe for lakes across country I don’t know how many times over the years I have reached into the cold waters of a lake or stream to grab a beer or pop can that someone has tossed into the water.

At five cents each, I’ve probably retrieved enough to have bought myself a few new fly lines.

Cans, bottles, wrappers and discarded monofilament line – there is no end to the crap some people are willing to leave behind when they go fishing.

I was always taught that what you bring in, you take out.

I remember one time I was just getting ready to head out fishing in my boat when the silver glint of a beer can caught my attention. I was a short distance from shore in about six to eight feet of water. I’d just finished rigging up my rod and was looking forward to a day on the water. The sun was shining and there wasn’t even the hint of a cloud in the sky. A perfect, warm, lazy summer afternoon. Perfect, except for that beer can sitting on the bottom. I put a couple of split shot weights on the end

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray of my leader and lowered the fly into the crystal-clear water in hopes of hooking the can by catching the opening from the pull-tab. I tried for quite some time but just couldn’t manage to get the barb of the hook inside.

In frustration, I took off my shirt, socks and shoes, emptied my pockets and dove into the water. Needless to say, I was much younger back then and, like I said, it was a warm summer afternoon. But boy was the water cold. My whole body went into shock as I descended into the water. I grabbed the tin and made my way back up in a hurry. Maybe diving in after a tin can was not the smartest thing to have done,

but I just couldn’t let it sit there.

If I had met up with the person who had thrown their empty beer can into the water, I would have had a few choice words to say to them.

Which brings me to my point. According to a CBC News report, the federal government is planning to designate a number of lakes in B.C. and across Canada as sites to dump tailings from mining operations.

A total of 16 lakes are slated to be “reclassified” as toxic dump sites for mines.

The lakes include prime wilderness fishing lakes from B.C. to Newfoundland.

Under the Federal Fisheries Act, it is illegal to put harmful substances into fishbearing waters. However, under a little-known subsection of the act, Schedule Two of the Mining Effluent Regulations, the federal government can redefine lakes as ‘tailings impoundment areas.’ This means mining companies no longer need to construct containment ponds for their toxic mine tailings.

Imperial Metals Corporation, the same company that

operates the Mount Polly Mine site, plans to enclose a remote watershed valley in Northern B.C. to hold tailings from their Red Chris gold and copper mine operations. The valley lies in what the Tahltan First Nations people call the sacred headwaters of three major salmon rivers: the Stikine, Nass and Skeena. It also serves as spawning grounds for the rainbow trout of Kluela Lake, which is downstream from the proposed dump site.

In a ruling last fall, Federal Court judge Luc Martineau ruled the federal Government acted illegally in trying to fast-track Red Chris without a full and public environmental review. That decision put the project on temporary hold; however, a more recent Federal Appeals Court decision has reversed the Martineau ruling, thus paving the way for the federal government to declare the lakes to be used as tailings dump sites without public consultation. All I know is that I won’t be diving into any of those lakes up there to retrieve any beer cans.

Gestures critical for early learning LIVING WELL You know that feeling when a word or a name is on the tip of your tongue and it just won’t come out? You find yourself saying “you know, the, the, the…,” and then you move your arm or hand and the word finally pops out.

It turns out gestures not only help us remember something in the moment but also help us when we are learning.

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines a gesture as “a movement of your body (especially of your hands and arms) that shows or emphasizes an idea or a feeling.” Most babies start communicating through gesture at about nine months of age. For the earliest gestures, the meaning is non-specific (for example, a reach that

means “I want that”).

Other gestures have a more specific meaning, like a word that you say with your hands (for example, “thumbs up” means good).

Some parents add to natural gestures by teaching their children sign language. One common myth is that signing with your child will reduce their desire to say words. But the opposite is true: children who gesture or sign a word start saying that word shortly after (and sooner than they would if they hadn’t learned the sign or gesture). Still, some parents are unsure whether to teach their baby sign language. There is no right or wrong answer – it’s a matter of personal choice. If you do sign, just make sure you always say the word when you do the sign.

Gestures are an important part of communication for everyone.

A 2006 study in the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research showed the development of gestures from nine to 16 months predicts language abilities two years later. This is significant because preschool language skills predict educational success.

Wondering if your toddler is on track?

An important rule of thumb is that by 16 months of age children should use at least 16 gestures.

Here are a couple of tips to boost learning for young children.

Teaching your toddler or pre-schooler a new word? Add a gesture to make it easier for them to remember.

Giving your schoolage child instructions about chores? Make a gesture for each instruction to help them

remember.

Trunk Sale Grimm night for young actors CSRD Unclutter your life!

Performers with the South Shuswap Children’s Theatre are going back in time to present A Grimm Night For Hans Christian Andersen.

This comic retelling of well-known fairy tales was crafted

by British teacher and playwright by Sue Gordon and directed by local talent Elizabeth Ann Skelhorne.

In the musical, Hans Christian Andersen and his latest stories have attracted the attention of the Brothers Grimm.

When accusations of forgery are implied, the pressure is on and a duel of storytelling ensues.

Find out what those well-known characters from classic fairy tales have been up to lately as they join in the fray.

Kids of all ages will laugh at the antics of characters including The Little Mermaid, Rapunzel, Hansel & Gretel, The Ugly Duckling, and a whole host of princesses and princes.

A Grimm Night For Hans Christian Andersen features a cast of 22 area children from the ages six to 14 who have been working on developing their characters and acting chops since January.

Skelhorne has worked with Shuswap Theatre, including the

2014 award-winning production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) and 2 x 2 –Two One-Act Plays, Two Directors earlier this year.

A Grimm Night For Hans Christian Andersen plays three times.

The first performance takes place at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday, May 30 at the Shuswap Lake Estates community hall. Doors open at 6.

The show will be held at Shuswap Theatre in Salmon Arm at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 6 and at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 7.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under.

Advance tickets for all performances are available at Steamers Coffee in the Blind Bay Marketplace and The Candy Vault on Hudson Avenue in Salmon Arm. Cash-only tickets may also be purchased at the door based on availability.

Haney hosts tea party Take time out to enjoy high tea in lovely surroundings at R. J. Haney Village on Sunday.

“At the village, we take pride in keeping this social affair as regal as we can,” says manager Susan Mackie of the 6th Annual High Tea that takes place from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 24 with entertainment, tea and treats.

“This timeless tradition of afternoon tea is an occasion to celebrate politeness, good manners and community.”

Invitations have been extended and you never know what famous people might attend, Mackie points out, noting it is wise for one to practise their high tea etiquette beforehand.

“A few tips that have been passed on are: do not use your tea to wash down food, sip, don’t slurp your tea, and swallow be-

fore eating,” she says.

Best known in theatre for her role in Lock Up Your Daughters award-winning comedienne/actor Christine Pilgrim makes a third appearance at High Tea, and one never knows what role she will be playing when she arrives.

In the past, she has played the role of Alexandra of Denmark, a prominent member of the Royal Family and, from the Lion and Albert, Mrs. Ramsbottom, in Haney’s “Guess Who” game.

Pilgrim has entertained guests to High Tea with her hilarious and interactive performances of the Seven Minute Hamlet and the Lion and Albert.

Ticket holders will once again be challenged to “Guess Who” as Pilgrim mingles among the tables, dropping hints as to the character she is impersonating.

Salmon Arm Museum curator, Deborah Chapman has rummaged through the archive vault and dusted off “Dressing Miss Halpenny” for the occasion of High Tea. “You will be entertained by this delightful and funny presentation showing the garb women of the Edwardian-era wore, and how they put their knickers on one leg at a time,” says Mackie.

Local string group Ceilidh will perform classical music and folk songs appropriate to High Tea. Ceilidh band members include Tamar Skinner, Cherish and Madelyn Stoney, Jasmin Schweitzer and Emily Wark, instructed by Carmine Stoney.

Tickets for High Tea are $25 at 250-832-5243, at the village at 751 Hwy. 97 B, or at Askew’s Foods.

Local forum to address invasive species Invasive species threaten our environment, society and economy.

Their control can be challenging and intimidating on both a small and large scale.

Fortunately, options for positive and effective community-based solutions can help control invasive species without the use of herbicides which may adversely affect ecosystem health.

The Wetlands Alli-

ance: The Ecological Response (WAT:ER) is hosting an invasive species forum to help residents learn what they can do to help.

Robyn Hooper of the Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society (CSISS) will be the keynote speaker.

Other speakers include representatives of the Shuswap Trail Alliance, White Lake Stewards, Switzmalph Cultural Society and Catherine Tarasoff

with Thompson Rivers University.

Speakers will discuss local invasive species issues, community initiatives for tackling these problems and effective, eco-friendly techniques used to manage them.

“The ColumbiaShuswap region is highly interconnected with our freshwater lakes and rivers; we cannot afford to risk our water quality and eco-system health

when dealing with invasive species,” says CSISS program assistant Laura Gaster.

“CSISS and our local community partners are looking forward to sharing some of our local experience with controlling invasive plants in our parks and backyards.”

The forum takes place from 7 to 9 p.m.

Thursday, May 28 at the Deo Lutheran Church at 1801-30th St. NE.

Financing terrorism

FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes I recently participated in a meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance, which is studying the financing of terrorism. Prior to being a part of this study, I had many questions that I am certain most of you have asked – questions such as, where do these terrorists get their money to buy guns and armaments, and why can’t governments stop the flow of money to these terrorist groups?

Professor Bill Tupman from the United Kingdom told the committee how oil from sites controlled by ISIS is flowing through Turkey to the Black Sea, where a process of paper-juggling allows the oil to enter the European market with no determination of the oil’s place of origin. This brings in as much as $1 million dollars a day to fund the so-called Islamic State’s aggression.

Professor Christian Leuprecht of Canada’s Royal Military College informed the committee that one of the most effective vehicles for both

money laundering and the financing of terrorist rings is cigarettes.

In 2013, sixteen people around New York City were arrested in operation “Tobacco Road.”

It is estimated that this illegal operation alone raised $22 million to finance Hezbollah and other terrorist operations, while costing the city of New York $80 million.

Tracking money is also difficult in the age of Internet. People in the U.S. and Canada can simply go on PayPal and donate $1,000 to groups such as ISIS and there is next to no way to trace donors.

These are the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies. One of the witnesses at the finance committee recommended the RCMP establish a branch solely focused on forensic auditing to trace money leaving Canada, as well as the identifying the sources of funding.

I agree with this recommendation.

If the global community doesn’t stop the flow of money to terrorist groups they will be able to buy more sophisticated weapons, and this will only increase the threat to free western democracies.

One thing for certain is that our allies should endeavor to purchase their oil from countries that are friends and not enemies of freedom.

The Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) will be hosting a public town hall on the evening of Thursday, May 28, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Salmon Arm library in the Mall at Piccadilly.

The public is invited to share their thoughts on the services most important and vital in Salmon Arm and the Shuswap.

This consultation is the next step in a two-year planning process designed to align municipal revenues with library services and address imbalances between communities in the ORL’s vast BC Southern Interior region.

“We know that the Salmon Arm branch is highly valued in the community and that discussions around service changes can be difficult. That’s why it’s important to hear from library members and the public so plans can be modified or created in line with the community’s needs,” says ORL CEO Stephanie Hall, who will be at the town hall to answer questions and gather feedback.

At the Salmon Arm branch, adjustments to services suggested include a closure on Sundays and a revision to reference staffing levels, with most other services staying the same.

TRACY HUGHES/MARKET NEWS

North Shuswap school to add Grade 8 At their mid-May meeting, trustees from the School District #83 board voted several proposals for various district schools.

The board unanimously supported motions to add Grade 8 to North Shuswap and Falkland schools, which are both currently operating under a K-Grade 7 structure. This would save busing costs and allow students to

transition straight to high school rather than spending one year at a middle school before moving to secondary.

A proposed change to make Ranchero Elementary a K-Grade 5 school was put on hold, and any changes will be reconsidered for 2016 and beyond as part of the Enderby-area recommendations.

Trustees pleased parents by

voting to keep Silver Creek Elementary open for at least another year. They also voted 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, one of the Sicamous schools might be converted into a K-12 configuration.

Supporting local business or money to support various worthy local causes. This results in donations of many thousands of dollars each year, which are critical to the survival of the service clubs, schools and sports groups, seniors’ organizations, public institutions and medical charities.

Local businesses are also taxed at a higher rate than residential.

These funds go to pay for the many amenities enjoyed by all citizens in the community.

Business owners are pleased to be able to support the community but, in order to do so, they need support. When residents leave the community to shop, the ability of local businesses to support our community is greatly reduced.

Local business owners do their best to provide the goods that customers need and want at an affordable price. Because we have a small population, our local businesses often cannot buy goods in the large quantities needed to purchase them as

cheaply as can businesses with a larger customer base. Despite this, actual item-by-item cost comparisons indicate that, in most cases, local businesses offer identical or comparable products at the same or even lower prices than many businesses in the city.

Next time you decide to shop in the city for items available locally, take a few minutes to research first. Take into consideration the additional costs (monetary, environmental and time) of driving to the city. Also, please think about how you or your organization has benefited directly or indirectly from the generosity of local business owners.

The Chase Chamber of Commerce and its members are working hard on new plans to improve service to you. Please help us to develop the local economy so that we can continue to give back to our community.

Rural students to receive a little support The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District is receiving a $5,000 grant to develop opportunities to support students in rural communities.

Funding can be used to relocate students to communities

with greater training opportunities, pay for students’ room and board, pay for students’ tools or work clothes or subsidize the cost of bringing a mobile training unit to a school.

“This grant will help provide

an academic boost to Shuswap students who live in rural areas,” said Greg Kyllo, Shuswap MLA. “We don’t believe students should be at a disadvantage just because they live outside an urban setting.”

We all know local businesses provide us with the goods and services we need, but we often forget or are unaware of all the other ways they benefit us.

Local businesses in Chase provide full- and part-time employment for many people. In many cases, local employers provide our youth with their first jobs, training and providing them with highly valued job experience.

They also employ older semiretired workers.

Did you ever wonder how our many local organizations raise the funds needed to support programs, facilities and special events for the benefit of residents?

Certainly all of us support fundraisers with our attendance and participation, but who provides the prizes and auction items, and handles costs associated with holding the fundraiser? Every week, most local businesses are approached multiple times with requests for donations of goods

Hopes rise for bridge replacement

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Bruhn Bridge will be receiving some attention from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure that won’t involve patching or other repairs.

At last week’s Sicamous municipal council meeting, Coun.

Malcolm Makayev said Ministry staff will be collecting data to see what design options might be feasible for the replacement of the Bruhn Bridge.

“So you might see geotechnical/environmental surveyors out there poking around in the channel,” said Makayev. “This, hopefully, is another sign of good things to come for our community.”

The Bruhn Bridge and Old Spallumcheen Road are lumped together among projects the ministry has listed in its transportation and investment plan for 2015. A ministry document notes the province

is currently in the procurement stage of this project.

Mayor Terry Rysz says the bridge is in a “not very healthy” condition, and the ministry realizes this.

“I think they’re going to try and fast-track that as much as possible,” said Rysz. “I think they understand the importance of it, because can you imagine if all of a sudden this bridge had to be locked down, and we had to send all the traffic along Mara Lake, especially in the summertime and all of that? It’s crucial that they get the thing fixed up.”

Rysz said the ministry is in the early stages, adding they would have to put together engineering plans, “and then they’ll probably come back to our community and we’ll see how it affects us.”

The condition of the Bruhn Bridge has long been a local concern.

n The approximately 57-year-old Bruhn Bridge shows its age, with patches of rebar exposed from repairs conducted in 2011, after a piece of the bridge broke off and landed in a boat travelling beneath bridge’s pillars is a result of structural work done by the ministry in 2011, after a three-foot long by three-inch thick piece of concrete broke off the outside deck and fell into a boat travelling below.

Responding to concerns raised about the bridge in 2013, a MOTI spokesperson said the Bruhn Bridge was in

good condition with many years of service life remaining.

Replacement of the Bruhn Bridge was identified as a public priority in February 2013, when MOTI held open houses in the Shuswap to gather input for the province’s $650 million budget to four-lane sections of the Trans-Canada Highway.

Dedicated Carlin Elementary efSchool students are making an ef fort to help save wildlife in the White Lake area.

Turtles, both babies and adults, are no match for vehicles as they try to navigate their way in both directions across Parri Road.

White Lake Stewards member Trish Wallensteen says last year 58 dead turtles were collected and 74

live turtles got a helping hand to cross the road.

“The numbers of hatchling turtles so far this year, starting from April 21 to 30th, is 25 dead and 16 live that were moved across the road,” she said last week. “Of course we hope there are more making it to the lake that we have not observed.”

While the turtles cross the road all along the lake, the two most popular crossings are near White Lake Community Hall and boat launch, and the John Evdokimoff

Bike Skills Park.

Turtle eggs are laid from May to July and baby turtles hatch in Sepuntember, remaining underground un til the following spring.

As the temperatures warm up from mid April through May, the toonie-size baby turtles begin to move slowly across the road in their quest to reach the lake.

“Then they have their biggest hazard. After surviving freezing temperatures and prey in the form of ravens and crows, which dig up

the eggs, and otters, who Wallensteen tle’s life is d the added c traffic.

When nature turns off the tap GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

I try to be upbeat and even a little funny when I type these columns, but now I’m going to be a bit of a drip and get serious about the wet stuff.

Although fun to do a rerun of our trip to San Francisco, what really sunk in for us was seeing firsthand how bad the withering drought situation was, and how grim it was getting there.

When nature turns the taps off for that length of time, the dominoes start to fall pretty fast and the consequences were clearly visible, such as the deep ‘bathtub ring’ of Lake Shasta, dried up stream and river beds, grapevines and orchards being pulled out, fields lying fallow and the parched earth as we crossed the Central Valley.

“America’s salad bowl has now become a dust bowl,” read a headline, but it’s just the tip of the iceberg compared to what else is on the sunshine state’s plate.

California has many existing and looming environmental fronts they’re facing besides this record drought, such as unsustainable population and resource pressures, poorly managed agricultural land and irrigation practices, serious soil degradation and elimination from development and bee colony collapse, just to name a few. What’s really worrisome though, is that the excessive extraction of water from the pumping out of the massive ice-age aquifer lying under the state.

It is causing a colossal sink hole that’s dropping at a drastic rate of at least a foot a year, in turn creating chaos by crumbling homes,

cracking roads, twisting railway lines and messing up the vital irrigation canals that run throughout the countryside. To top it off, rising oceans are threatening to roll into critical inland estuaries that provide key sources of fresh water to wildlife, humans and agriculture – Florida included. A perfect storm may be brewing for a total food and environmental catastrophe, and millions of people will be up the creek without a paddle if they – and we – are not somehow prepared for it.

The shame and blame game has been going on for years and will continue to get mired in the mud due to political interests and economic drivers, such as the billion-dollar tourism and wine industries. For example, we had a bull session with a local about water usage in their supposedly sustainable wine-growing valley, who angrily stated that homeowners were getting hosed because backyard food gardens had been banned in order that the vineyards – a major source of tax and tourism income for the town – could have it instead. Now a statewide rationing of 25 per cent per home has been declared, which is just a drop in the bucket be-

cause the farmers – who consume at least 80 per cent of it – are excluded.

Yet they’re one of the worst sources of the problem.

The rains may return and the oceans may cease to rise one day, but immediate and emergency measures will need to be put in place, such as constructing dikes to stem the tide, more desalinization plants for drinking water, legislating strict regulations on irrigation practices (maybe even mulching through mandatory food, farm and yard waste recycling, which would make total sense), eliminating unsustainable food crops and water-wasting plants and lawns from the landscapes.

Going too may be the luxury of a green fairway, backyard pool, fountain, long shower or the leisurely Sunday car wash. Who gets the water and how much, plus what it’s going to cost

may get ugly, and even plunge the lower-income families and farmers into debt or forced departure.

Rains are the watery lifeblood for the thousands of tons of nuts, fruits, vegetables, meat, grains and rice that are grown and raised there.

Indeed, two out of every three meals eaten in the U.S. come from California.

We rely heavily on those crops too, and our food security experts are now describing the situation as alarming if the agricultural output begins to pack it in to the point where there’s not enough to share. What this will mean for us is a seriously destabilized food supply with major price hikes to boot. It also means we’ll be left even more high and dry if we don’t protect and support the survival of Canadian food growers and, especially, our local farmers and seed suppliers. If things get

Another Bush damaged by Iraq GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer

Sicamous Business Directory

He just misheard the question.

A basically friendly interviewer on Fox News asked Jeb Bush, now seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. presidency, “Knowing what we know now, would you have authorised the invasion (of Iraq)?” And he replied, “I would have.”

When the storm of protest, even from Republicans, swept over him, he explained that he thought the interviewer had said, “Knowing what we knew then.”

An easy mistake to make. “Know now” sounds an awful lot like “knew then.” Besides, Jeb Bush is on record as claiming that he is Hispanic (on a 2009 voter-registration application), so the poor man was struggling with his second language. If only she had asked the

question in Spanish, he would have understood it perfectly. Enough.

When you listen to the entire interview, it’s clear Bush didn’t want to say a flat “No” to her question, because that would be a condemnation of his brother’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003. But as soon as he could, he switched to talking about the “intelligence failures” that misled his brother into invading the wrong country. Anybody can make a mistake.

But the intelligence wasn’t faulty – it was cooked to order. There was no plausible intelligence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, so U.S. intelligence services were told to “find” some.

There were no Islamist terrorists in Iraq either: Saddam Hussein hunted down and killed anybody suspected of being an Islamist activist, because the Islamists wanted to kill him.

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency tried very hard to create a link between al Qaeda, the organization responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and Iraq.

The only thing they came up with, however, was a rumour that a little-known Islamist

from Jordan called Abu Musab al Zarqawi who knew Osama bin Laden had been in Baghdad receiving treatment for wounds received in Afghanistan in May-November 2002. (He was actually in Iran at that time.)

If you were on the White House staff in early 2003, you had to know the “intelligence” you were using to justify the invasion of Iraq was false, because you were one of the people demanding the spooks manufacture “evidence” for it.

The decision itself had been made even before Bush’s election in 2000 and the 9/11 attacks in 2001, for reasons that had nothing to do with terrorism.

We don’t yet know just how disastrous the invasion of Iraq was, because the damage is still accumulating. Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the man who now rules “Islamic State,” the terrorist-ruled new country that occupies the eastern half of Syria and the western third of Iraq, started fighting Americans as part of the Iraqi resistance in 2003.

By 2006 at the latest, he had joined the group then called Al Qaeda in Iraq, which was largely

made up of jihadis from other Arab countries who had flocked to Iraq to fight the infidel invaders. And the founder of Al Qaeda in Iraq was none other than Abu Musab al Zarqawi – who parlayed the reputation as a major jihadi leader that the US intelligence services gave him into a real leadership position in the resistance.

Through the years that followed, that organization gained experience in guerilla war and terrorism, and through several changes of name and leadership (Zarqawi was killed in 2006) it ultimately morphed into Islamic State. Baghdadi was with it all the way, and now styles himself “Caliph Ibrahim,” demanding the loyalty and obedience of all Muslims everywhere.

So we owe a lot to the neo-cons in George Bush’s administration who pushed for the invasion of Iraq: people like Dick Cheney (vice president), Donald Rumsfeld (secretary of defense), and Paul Wolfowitz (undersecretary of defense). They just used the 9/11 attacks as a vehicle for their preexisting Iraq invasion plans.

It was Wolfowitz,

Supporting your Local economy When men and women shop locally, they are putting money back into their local communities. Local small businesses may be owned by your neighbors, and it can be comforting to know that your shopping dollars are going to support a neighbor instead of a large corporation.

Local businesses also employ your neighbors, so shopping local can strengthen the local economy by creating jobs that may not exist if you and members of your community fail to support local small businesses.

above all, who worked tirelessly to link Iraq to terrorism. And guess who is the most prominent name on Jeb Bush’s current team of foreign policy advisers (apart from George W Bush himself). Why, it’s the very same Paul Wolfowitz. The problem with Jeb Bush is not the foolish answers he gives. It’s the company he keeps.

HARRIS, GWENDOLYN Gwendolyn Harris, known to her family as Nana the Great, died peacefully on May 12, 2015 at Hillside Village, her home for the past five years.

Born on August 4, 1914, she was the good news on an otherwise bleak day in world history.

Her family had deep roots in Manitoba. Her grandfather was Chief Factor for the Hudson’s Bay Company at Lower Fort Garry and her family was held prisoner for three months and marched through the Manitoba wilderness during the Riel Uprising.

In 1932 she moved with her parents to Vernon, where she caught the fancy of Frank Harris, whom she married in 1940. Harris, as publisher of the Vernon News from the 1940’s until the paper was sold to the Thompson chain in 1970, relied on her unfailing support, not just in business, but in furthering the growth and development of Vernon and in raising their two children. Their home was constantly open to their many friends and to the community they both loved. She was a consummate hostess.

Gwen was predeceased by her son, John Rogan Harris, in 1967, her husband in 1997, and her sister and brother-in-law, Jean and Alleyn Harris, and her nephew Ron. She is survived by her daughter, Lynne, and husband Ian Wickett, her granddaughters Claire, husband Eric Hyndman and her great grandchildren Molly, Nolan and Ellie; Darcy, husband Brad Calkins and her great grandchildren Sam, Max, Katy and Ian; and Allison, husband Matt Karns and her great grandchildren Rogan and Lily, and her nephew, Bill Harris, his wife Fran and their family.

On June 6, Gwen and Frank will join their son John in the family plot in the Vernon Cemetery, to be followed by a tea in Gwen’s honour at her family’s home in Salmon Arm. We are so grateful to the Hillside staff for the love and care they provided to Gwen throughout her stay with them, for the thoughtful care provided by her medical community, and, of course, to Martha Wickett for her ongoing support and love.

LILY JONES September 10, 1927 - May 12, 2015 In the early morning, as the dancing stars drew her away, the first rays of the sun carried mom’s spirit to join that of her husband. Mom was born to John and Sofia Leaf on September 10, 1927 in Kamloops, but spent her youth in the Finnish community of Solsqua-Cambie. She lost her father in July 1945 and helped her mother care for her younger siblings. Her mom, Aiti, left us in June 1981. Mom had two older half-siblings Erik in Finland and Mary Hantula who came to live in Solsqua. She also had two sisters, Elsie Burt and Helvie Saari, and her little brother Ray Leaf.

Mom’s only remaining sibling is her sister Elsie.

She also leaves behind Ray’s wife Val and Dad’s sister Carol Bates.

Mom was married to Robert Owen Jones in October 1950. She always said he was a good catch because he was a railwayman. Sadly their love affair would come to an end May 7, 1983 when we lost our amazing father.

They had some fabulous years together raising five children in Revelstoke, Hammond, Kamloops, and Cranbrook. Eldest son Robert Jr. (Bob) also became a good railwayman, and is left to cherish Mom’s memory with his partner Fran and his five children: Cori (Josh); Sherri (Brian); Megan (George), and Robert (Stephanie)--a third generation railwayman. Sadly we lost Bob’s daughter, Janet (George) in 2010. The next child to come along was daughter Marilyn Anderson (Donovan) who, with her three children Sarah (Justin), Christopher (Crystal), and David (Samantha) will forever treasure all of the special moments they shared with Mom. The next son was Dick (Debbie) and with children David (Stephanie) and Jennifer (Travis), Mom’s feisty spirit will be remembered and will live on. Youngest son Darrell (Elizabeth) and their two children Zachary and Jessica (Jeremiah) will long remember Mom’s laughter and her stories, and will keep her close to their hearts. Finally, the baby, Lori Bregoliss who, with husband Paul and their two sons Ryan (Allison) and Sammy J will honour Mom’s love of family and zest for life.

Mom and dad had some memorable times together, spending many years sharing their mutual passion for politics. Mom loved being in the campaign offices especially if R O was running. She lived for helping the community and others less fortunate. One of her first jobs was working as a nurse’s aide in the hospital in Revelstoke. She spent hours working with the Royal Purple and the Elks lodge. She was also a passionate caregiver; it seemed there was always someone extra at the dinner table that Mom was helping out, be it a railway friend of Dad’s, one of her children’s friends, or in the later years helping support those with intellectual disabilities. She spent many summers at her cabin on the Shuswap, enjoying the company of family and friends, and always made sure we swept the deck before we left. After selling the cabin she continued to enjoy weekends at her trailer in Chase. Her retirement years were spent living downtown. Mom was a very independent woman, and relished the freedom of being able to get everything she needed with just a short walk, perhaps with some time spent just sitting and people watching. Mom was a great cook, famous for her broccoli bake, which has become a family tradition.

Her grandchildren will always remember her for her scrambled egg and peanut butter sandwiches or pancakes after a sleep over. We will make sure that the youngest members of the family, her nine great-grandchildren--Tanner, Tyler, Emilie, Hunter, Hailey, Emmaline, Josh, Aaron and Gordon and two more expected this summer--and her great-great-grandson Max will know what a special woman she was. In her last years we were blessed that mom was cared for by the loving staff at Ridgeview Lodge. Alzheimer’s takes a person away in pieces but the staff at Ridgeview made sure Mom’s life was full and whole. Her final days were spent sharing quiet visits with her children and their spouses and some laughter filled evenings with her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. They shared family stories and a few last sips of beer; she did not want to leave that party. We love you more than words can speak, say hi to Dad, hope he has a CC and water waiting for you. There will be a graveside service for Mom at the Solsqua-Cambie cemetery on May 23 @ 11:00 am with a social at mom’s old stomping grounds, the Cambie Hall, following the service.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s society, or give someone a hug.

Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 6 years. A 45+ year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally.

After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician.

He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces.

His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently.

Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job.

For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.

4 top tips for managing a renovation

(NC) With dozens of television shows on what can be achieved, it’s no surprise we are all a little renovationcrazy. But actually undergoing a renovation can be a lot to take on. Between suppliers, hiccups, finances and more, this type of overhaul has the potential to be a chaotic and stressful experience.

Here are four tips for managing a successful renovation: 1. Choosing the contractor: Arguably the most important step is finding the right person for the job. Do your research.

Would you love to be able to step out your door and find yourself instantly surrounded by Mother Nature? When organized properly, even the smallest of balconies can be transformed into an oasis of beautiful greenery where you can relax all summer long. A few pots, soil, a trowel, plants and a bit of fertilizer: that’s all you need to cre- ate your own little corner of paradise.

Choose plants that will feel right at home, taking into account how many hours of sunshine your balcony receives.

Most flowers, herbs and vegetables need plenty of sun, but you’ll soon discover that garden centres stock gorgeous varieties

of plants that thrive best in the shade.

Let your imagination run wild when you choose plant pots; just make sure they all have drainage holes. If necessary, drill some in the bottoms of those that don’t.

One well-stocked planter placed in just the right spot can enhance your balcony, but lots of different plants and pots will result in a much more interesting look. Make use of every nook and cranny.

Diversify colours and heights, and use a mix of flowering and foliage plants. Once you’ve set things up, enjoying your flowering balcony all summer long is going to be simple: just remember to water, remove dead flowers as they wilt and fertilize your plants regularly.

Be comfortable this summer...
