LNG industry will be a life-changer

MLAs returned to Victoria last month for a rare summer sitting of the Legislature.

The reason was the introduction of Bill 30, the Liquefied Natural Gas Project Agreements Act, which gives the B.C. government the authority to enter into LNG project development agreements.

On July 13, the first day of the session, I was proud to speak to this bill that will set the stage for what I believe is a game-changer for the economic future of our province.

Bill 30 is a vital element in creating the LNG industry in B.C. It enables Pacific NorthWest LNG to move ahead with its plans to invest $36 billion US in our province – the largest private-sector investment in B.C. and Canadian history.

The Pacific NorthWest LNG project at Port Edward on the north coast will create 4,500 construction jobs, 330 direct

long-term jobs and 300 local spinoff jobs.

Total new tax and royalty revenues for the province are projected to be about $8.6 billion in the next 15 years alone.

Over the next five years, Asian economic growth, combined with the switch to a cleaner-burning fuel, will almost double Asia’s demand for liquefied natural gas.

Fortunately, our province has a natural gas supply that is estimated at 2,933 trillion cubic feet – which could support domestic and export markets for the next 150 years.

That is why I am so excited about the possibilities for LNG development in B.C. LNG will be a pillar upon which the northwest and northeast regions the province can build their future – but the same can be said for every region and community in B.C. – from Atlin to Enderby, from Armstrong to Zeballos.

As Parliamentary

Secretary for the B.C. Jobs Plan, I have travelled to these regions, and people are filled with genuine optimism about a flourishing LNG industry and what it will mean to their families and their communities.

Developing the LNG sector in a responsible and prudent manner means thousands of jobs will be created in every region of our province, particularly in the trades and skilled labour.

From construction trades labourers, steamfitters and pipefitters, welders, concrete finishers, heavy-equipment operators, gas fitters and a host of others, we need the people and their skills to get the job done.

This is an exciting time for British Columbians who will soon be entering the workforce.

It is a tremendous opportunity for all of them, and we are committed to maxi-

mizing the potential that this sector will bring to B.C. so they stand to benefit and have an even better quality of life than we enjoy today.

The added pressure of the demand for skilled labour will be heightened as investments by LNG proponents continue in B.C. Without a plan such as the Skills for Jobs Blueprint, there would be a significant shortage of skilled labour, especially in the northern regions of our province.

This is why our government created the Blueprint, to ensure that all of these jobs in all regions of B.C. are filled, so we can keep our economy moving forward.

The potential of LNG in British Columbia is staggering.

The prospect of just five of 14 LNG opera-

Friday Saturday Sunday

tions that are planned for construction in B.C. would result in upwards of $100 billion in industry investment over the next decade alone.

For thousands of British Columbians, including many in the Shuswap, an LNG industry will be more than a game-changer.

It will be a life-changer – and I’m looking forward to the journey.

HEALTH & BEAUTY Unresolved trauma shuswapmind

When we experience trauma, our brains and bodies believe we are at an imminent threat of death or serious injury. Traumatic events include abuse, sudden loss, and incidents such as a car crash, exposure to war, earthquake, violent crime or sexual assault.

During trauma our brain attempts to process what is happening. A part of the brain called the hippocampus is responsible for storing the mem-

ories and sensations associated with the trauma.

It acts as a librarian that is supposed to date, stamp and file the memory to the appropriate location to restore balance. However, when our threat system is active, it becomes forgetful.

Sometimes the information gets stored in the wrong place, and it does not get dated. This is why when trauma is not processed appropriately, we can feel as if it is happening over and over again.

Unresolved trauma lives within our bodies and can display some uncomfortable symptoms. We may relive the trauma without warning due to triggers. We may experience depression or anxiety. Somatic symptoms are common as well, such as chronic digestive issues or chronic pain.

Many find sleep disturbances commonplace. An increasing body of research is growing to support a link between trauma and autoimmune disorders. This list is short, and does not speak to everyone’s experience. Many more cognitive and physical symptoms may also present themselves.

There is help. If you have experienced a traumatic event that has impacted your ongoing well-being, it’s possible to find support to appropriately process the trauma, and recover from it.

Chiropractic and immunity

Over my past two decades of practice, I have seen countless children experience drastically improved immune function while under chiropractic care. In our office, when parents notice their children beginning to show signs of an oncoming cold or flu, the Moms and Dads will whisk them into see me so I may remove the stress off of their nervous system and allow their body to begin functioning at “optimal” level. Following their adjustments, improvement with little kids is almost immediate. They will go from glassy-eyed, fevered, lethargic rag-dolls to much more alert, clear-eyed, and interactive kids within minutes of me clearing their nervous system via the adjustment. Parents are always shocked, and delighted to see such a quick turn-around.

How can spinal adjustments help immune function? Let me explain.

The immune system is our defense from all of the bugs in our environment. Like every other system in the body, the immune system is directly and closely controlled by the nervous system. When the body is “under attack,” the immune system and the brain talk to each other to ensure the body creates the correct response to the invaders. In a military analogy you can think of the brain as the command centre that directs the immune cells (the soldiers) how and where to attack.

If the generals don’t show up to provide direction to the soldiers, the attack and defense will be less effective. If subluxation is present (interference in the nervous system

caused by chemical, physical and emotional stress) signals from the brain to the body are not clear which in turn results in prolonged sickness and much slower healing times. How is subluxation removed?

By performing gentle chiropractic adjustments.

After seeing this clinically in countless chiropractic practices, there have been a number of research studies that look at how spinal adjustments affect immunity.

One of the largest papers was done in 1997 by R. Blanks who assessed over 2800 people under chiropractic care and found 15% fewer colds and flus in the group receiving regular care. A researcher named Brennan in 1991 found the activity of immune cells in the body significantly increased following thoracic (mid back) adjustments. Another paper by Neil in 2012 found that adjustments also had a positive effect on anti-inflammatory controls in the body.

Once again the research supports what countless chiropractors witness on a daily basis in practice.

While adjustments are not a “treatment” for colds and flus, a clear functioning nervous system is essential for a proper immune response. It is my job to remove subluxation (nervous system interference) and allow your body to function at “optimal health.” The only way to detect and correct subluxation is via the chiropractic adjustment. If you or any members of your family are unwell, we can help! Chiropractic is a gentle, drugfee way to recover from sickness quickly and naturally.

LOOKING BACK TO THE START OF ROOTS & BLUES I remember when the Roots & Blues Festival began to grow to the point that Salmon Arm was full of tourists who had no place to stay. The town didn’t have the Super 8, the Comfort Inn, the Prestige, the Best Western and the Travelodge. Campground operators were opposed to any camping being allowed in non-established sites (such as in fields, etc) because their season was very short. The town had only a few bed and breakfasts.

Entertainers at Roots & Blues and their support staff required lodging in hotels, as they do now. That left little room for highway travellers who looked at a highway map and chose to spend the night in Salmon Arm. Some were close to tears when told they would have to drive to Vernon, Revelstoke or Kamloops.

RENT AN UNUSED RV, FOLKS, OR JUST A BED I felt guilty during the early days because I produced the Shuswap Visitors’ Guide and invited people to holiday here, but on that one weekend a year of the Roots & Blues festival, there was no room at the inn.

Through this column I invited residents to provide a place for travellers to sleep. They could rent an unused RV, or provide just a bed in part of their home, such as a basement. None did. Some B&B operators offered space.

I delivered small posters to hotels along the highway that said JUST-A-BED. It had my phone number and when someone called, I put that person in touch with someone who had a bed.

NEWCOMER WANTS TO RIDE LONELY HORSES Howie, 50-ish, says he was probably riding horses before he could walk. His dad was a big-game guide and outfitter. For grades 9 to 12, Howie travelled by school bus 75 km. from Seton Portage to Lillooet and stayed in a dorm all week. His dad sold all the horses, including Howie’s, which broke his heart.

It wasn’t until he was 40 and volunteered for Unity Ride from Harrison Lake to Vernon that he got over his hurt. A year later he had four horses, but hasn’t had any for six years. While going to university he worked with rescue horses in Richmond. Now that he lives in Salmon Arm he wants to work with horses that are lonely and bored and need a human companion. His riding boots are in his truck. Contact me at 250-832-4831 or sallys1@ telus.net and I’ll pass the message on.

DONATION TO FUNDRAISER INCREASED FROM BASKET OF SAMPLES TO A MEAL-IN-A-FIELD Fieldstone Organics near Armstrong usually gives a

basket of organic samples when asked for a donation for a fundraiser. In the spring, the firm’s production co-ordinator, who is president of the Vernon Lions Club, suggested a unique fundraiser. Lions were raising funds for independent living youth programs and the Schubert Centre hearing loop. She said in addition to donating a basket of product for the live and silent auction, Fieldstone should increase the value of the donation by creating a meal-in-the-field package for six people. And so it did.

On July 24 a party of six friends from Lake Country and Vernon sat at a table that was exquisitely set atop a hill overlooking a field of barley against a backdrop of the City of Armstrong and mountains. The package went in the silent auction for just over $300. The winner had never heard of Fieldstone Organics and had not been to the mill location previously. The staff prepared and served the food. All of the ingredients used were purchased in Armstrong.

Barb Munro, marketing and events person at Fieldstone, wrote about the lunch: “The rain we so desperately needed arrived about two hours prior and stopped just as our guests sat down to eat. Besides an assortment of sprouted whole grain salads blended with locally grown produce, there was a selection of cheeses from local artisan producers, locally-raised organic chicken, fresh bread from Country Bakery and delicious Vom Fass oils and vinegars, as well as an assortment of fine chocolates from Chocoliro. The six seemed to be amazed by the setup and enjoyed their lunch.”

I WAS A MINORITY AT BUTCHART GARDENS On my recent trip to visit the family in Victoria, my 14-year-old granddaughter and I toured Butchart Gardens.

She is mixed race, and I found I was a minority on that busy day. I was white, English-speaking, and not taking pictures with a phone at the end of a stick.

CAUGHT IN A CAR-BUS ACCIDENT On my way home from Victoria I learned from CBC Radio when I was in Kamloops that there was a car-bus crash 11 km west of Chase and the highway was closed both ways. I hung around the city for a few hours, then at 7:30 I decided surely it would be open by then. It wasn’t.

I was stuck in a long line-up. At 9 p.m. the full moon peeked over the mountain to my right. The accident happened at 4 p.m. The 19-year-old Pritchard boy who was driver of the car was killed instantly, and many of the Korean students in the tour bus were injured. The bus driver had the worst injuries. Such a tragic start to a long weekend.

At 10 p.m. the highway was re-opened and what seemed like thousands of cars and semis were on the move. The man in the moon guided me all the way home to Salmon Arm. My sympathy to family members of the Pritchard boy who lost his life.

PEI HAS COSTLIEST CELL PHONE FINE IN CANADA Do not get caught using a cell phone while driving in Prince Edward Island because the fine is $1,200. It is the highest distracted driving fine in Canada. B.C.’s fine is $167, the second lowest in the country.

On June 16, 2015, B.C.’s Attorney General Suzanne Anton launched a four-week public consultation into whether the penalties given for distracted driving should be raised.

LAID OFF OIL WORKERS, FOREST SECTOR NEEDS YOU If you or someone you know is short of work due to the slowdown in the oil sands, check out the forest industry.

There are shortages of skilled trades all over Canada.

That was the information from Thunder Bay, Ontario on CBC.ca.

The union says there are high-paying jobs in northwestern Ontario mills, but few takers despite lucrative salaries. Unifor’s national representative said, “The wages are very lucrative right now and the resumes should be flowing in quite steadily and they’re not.”

ABORTION PILL APPROVED IN CANADA Health Canada has approved the use of the abortion pill RU-486. A senior government source told the Huffington Post Canada that RU-486, also known as mifepristone, will be allowed for use in Canada but can be obtained only through a physician. The brand name under which it will be sold in Canada is Mifegymiso.

What a relief it will be for those women who find themselves in a difficult situation.

DO NOT FALL FOR A TELEPHONE SCAM Many are familiar with the Nigerian email scam and/or the Grandma/Grandpa calls, but this message could be VERY scary to many people, especially seniors.

One of my friends got a scam call from Officer Daniel White of the Canadian Revenue Agency telling him that the CRA is “seeking legal official notice against your name for tax fraud. Before this goes to Federal Claims Court... before you get arrested... call me at 613-3663838.” That was the number that showed on the call display. Hang up if you receive such a call.

WHAT WOULD WE PLANT IN A FOOD FOREST? Seattle is planning to build a new city park filled with hundreds of edible plants, such as fruit trees, vegetable plants, herbs, etc. Crops will be free to anyone and everyone. If successful, it will be the first “food forest” of the nation.

If we were to build such a park in a community in the Shuswap, what kind of hardy, easy-care plants would you suggest? How about rhubarb, asparagus and crabapples to start?

Phone scam!

I received a frantic phone call from a client recently about a phone call they had received from what was supposedly the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). In the phone call, the supposed CRA representative informed my client that they owed a large amount of money to CRA and they needed to pay it immediately. They then told the client that if they didn’t act right away they will send the police and will be arrested.

As you can imagine this sent the client into a bit of a panic; especially for someone who always has paid his bills on time. In fact, the fear of not wanting to be indebted to the CRA, in particular, almost compelled the client to do what the caller was asking including providing credit card information.

Thankfully, they instead decided to hang up and call me to see what I thought about it. As can be expected I immediately suspected it was a phone scam. I double-checked CRA’s website and confirmed that this is in fact a common scam going around right now.

Since then, I’ve talked to a couple more people that have received a similar call, and in all cases, the people calling are very convincing.

Remember, these people are experienced con artists and use fear to pressure you into giving them your social insurance number or credit card number. In all cases, do not ever give this information over the phone!

According to the CRA’s website, they mention that they will never: • Send an email with a link and ask you to divulge personal or financial information; • Ask for personal information of any kind by email or text message; • Request payments by prepaid credit cards; • Give taxpayer information to another person, unless formal authorization is provided by the taxpayer; • Leave personal information on an answering machine.

Sometimes the scammers try to scare you, but sometimes they also prey on people by promising you they have a large refund that they weren’t expecting. Unfortunately, it’s not like the game Monopoly where you get $200 dollars just for passing GO! As they say, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of this sort of thing going around, and it continues to happen because the “bad guys” are clearly tripping up enough individuals to make it worth their while.

Remember, be wary, and if you receive one of these calls, hang up the phone and check with someone you trust or call the Canada Revenue general enquiries toll free telephone line at 1-800-959-8281. You might have to stay on hold for a long time before you get through to someone, but it is far better to double check then to have someone steal your identity and/or a bunch of your money.

gasoline, with government taxes and refining charges the other big factors.

“I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group. “There isn’t much of a relationship on a day-to-day basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.”

Expecting gas to move in lockstep with crude oil is somewhat akin to expecting house prices to follow lumber prices, without recognizing scarce land or an influx of buyers might have an influence.

Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay.

Most of the difference between B.C. prices and the rest of the country is explained by the higher 17-cent-a-litre TransLink tax in Metro Vancouver as

well as B.C.’s carbon tax.

Motorists are paying just over $1 in Alberta, a few cents more in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and $1.10 to $1.20 in most of Eastern Canada.

But even after taxes are factored out, Vancouver prices are 5 to 15 cents a litre higher than most other cities across Canada.

The reason, Parent said, is that Vancouver-area prices follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up.

“Wholesale prices have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said.

Some gasoline comes to B.C. through the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but the rest comes from Washington State or other U.S. refineries.

If prices were sharp-

ly higher in Vancouver than cities to the south, Parent said, gas would flow back to the U.S. – resulting in shortages here – or wouldn’t be shipped north in the first place.

Another big factor behind why Canadians in general aren’t yet seeing much relief at the pumps is the drop in the loonie over the past year.

Crude and wholesale gas are priced in U.S. dollars, so Canadians are paying with a devalued currency that simply doesn’t go as far as it did a year ago.

So who is profiting from the persistently high pump prices?

“Right now, refiners are the big winners,” Parent said.

They’re running close to capacity, demand is up because of lower gas prices and therefore refiners can charge more than usual.

If crude oil prices get even cheaper – potentially as sanctions against Iran end and more oil pours onto the world market – there’s no guarantee gas prices will follow because of the refining constraints in North America.

Tying flies and you’re having fun

When Richard (Rick) Materi’s family moved to Kamloops in 1945, they lived a block away from the Thompson River. The river would inspire in him what was to be a lifelong love of nature and water, and when his grandfather took him fishing for the first time, he was hooked for life.

“Fishing has been in my blood since I was four when my granddad took me fishing at Harper Lake near Chase.”

For a whole year he didn’t have a real fishing rod, but that didn’t matter–a stick and line with a grasshopper on a hook worked just fine.

“I remember when I got my first fishing rod. It was given to me by Jim Farquson when I was five years old. It was a Split Cane Hardy Fly Rod.” Jim happened to see Rick and his sister pretending to fish near the edge of the creek bed. There was a slaughter house nearby, and the children would use a big leg bone as the fish and tie it on the end of the line.

“He saw this and he laughed and laughed. He brought out this rod and gave it to me.”

The next Christmas, Rick’s grandpa gave him a junior fly-tying kit.

“That’s what got me started,” he says of his life-long hobby. “I started collecting Sportsman cigarette packages with the picture of the fly on the back and I’d replicate those flies.”

Over the years as Rick moved to various places for work he automatically names the rivers or lakes near each place where he lived and the jobs almost seem secondary in importance. He spent

ing in the Skeena River he fought his biggest fish ever.

“I caught a 90 pounder – that was a spring salmon. I never landed him, I’m not a trophy fisherman. I fought for a long time, a good two hours.”

While he will occasionally eat a fish he catches, Rick usually practices catch and release with a barbless hook, so there is no damage or trauma to the fish.

He did various jobs from quarry work to putting in telephone poles and ended up in the bush as a faller for 20 years.

“I sort of resigned myself to the fact I was getting too old for that kind of work and it was getting too mechanized.”

their boys moved to Prince George where he bought a towing company which they ran and then sold.

They moved back to the Shuswap.

“After we moved back to Salmon Arm I was doing security work and I had my second heart attack, followed by triple bypass surgery.”

He knew he had to slow down, so he started putting more time into his fly-tying hobby.

“I started getting into more complicated patterns, getting the books with the actual pictures of the hooks and histories of the those who tied them.”

He even makes the types of flies that were used in 1800s. He sells flies to help recoup the cost of the materials but he really does it because he loves it.

“One particular one I’ve never mastered–but I’ve come pretty close–is the Jock Scott. They say if you can tie a Jock Scott, you can tie anything. I know

all over the world and one in particular I’ve been tying has 54 different feathers on it; and patience, oh man, it can run pretty thin. It’s a challenge.”

Rick’s conversation naturally turns to conservation and the changes he has seen over the years in the waterways and in the forests. Despite the impact civilization has had on the pristine lakes and rivers Rick says BC has the best fishing in the world.

He and his buddy go out on the lake often but those boyhood days of fishing along the Thompson are etched too deeply.

“Shuswap Lake is worldclass...but my heart is always with a creek.”

VANCOUVER The Pacific Salmon Foundation recently announced $12,500 for a Pacific salmon project in Scotch Creek. The total value of the project including volunteer time and community fundraising is $25,000.

The Foundation’s Community Salmon Program supports habitat stewardship, Pacific salmon enhancement and watershed education, and is funded primarily from sales of the federal government’s Salmon Conservation Stamp.

The project is by the Adams River Salmon Society, with the funds going towards the educational events and programs around the world famous Adams River sockeye run as it proceeds through Scotch Creek in Shuswap Provincial Park.

“We are pleased to support the Adams River Salmon Society, as their work will continue to increase understanding of the importance of salmon both locally and across B.C.,” said Dr.

Brian Riddell, president and CEO of the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

The Foundation’s Community Salmon Program supports community groups, volunteers and First Nations across the province. All give countless hours each year to monitor watersheds, develop and implement habitat rehabilitation projects, and educate communities about the conservation and protection of salmon. The program requires grantees to find matching funds for projects. On average, grantees raise an additional six dollars for every dollar they receive through additional fundraising for donations of in-kind and money at the community level.

The majority of funds for the Community Salmon Program were generated through sales of the federal Salmon Conservation Stamp. The Salmon Conservation Stamp is a decal that must be purchased annually by anglers if they wish to keep Pacific

salmon caught in saltwater off of Canada’s West Coast. Currently all proceeds from the $6 dollar stamp are returned to British Columbia through the Foundation, generating about $1 million for community grants annually.

In addition to funds generated from the sales of the federal “Salmon Stamp,” the grants are made possible

by Pacific Salmon Foundation fundraising dinners, auctions and donations from individuals, foundations and businesses. Several businesses and foundations also contribute to the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s community salmon program.

“The Community Salmon Program captures the essence of what we are trying to do at the Foundation,” concludes Riddell. “Government, business, First Nations and volunteers all working together – that is the best way to ensure the future of wild Pacific salmon.”

Tax spending must be questioned

Regarding the Jordan Ross letter of August 7th about government debts, I would like to add something to the discussion. This year’s election is for a federal government. In Canada’s 148 year history, all of the governments have been either Liberal or Conservative (some were called Progressive Conservative). Over those years we had many deficits and accumulated much debt. Some years the economy did well; while other times it didn’t. More recently, the Liberal Government under Paul Martin had several balanced budgets, whereas the Conservatives under Stephen Harper had several deficit budgets before declaring a balanced budget for this year. Over many years, whenever the economy was doing well, the government of the day chose to take the credit for that.

When the economy was not good, the governments explained that it was because of “other circumstances.”

Mr. Ross offers some examples of provincial NDP governments.

There have been relatively few of those. Most provincial governments over the past 148 years have been either Liberal or Conservative (some called themselves Social Credit) and over those many years, there have been many deficits and accumulated debt. Some years were

good. Again, when things are good, the government claims credit.

When it isn’t good, blame is cast on others.

To be fair, deficits can come as a result of global influences. A careful study of history including those few provinces that have had an NDP government may show global influences in addition to political decisions. The CCF under Tommy Douglas had a good economic record.

Regardless of which party forms the government, taxes will be collected and decisions will be made on how to spend the money. So the question we need to ask of each party is, “What are your spending priorities for the tax money?”

Since the current federal government has been making the decisions on spending, we could take notice of their choices. A few examples are: celebrating the birthday of John A McDonald, celebrating the War of 1812, advertising on a wide variety of themes, declaring the longest election period since the nineteenth century. And what have they cut spending on? A few examples are: scientific research, the CBC, Parks Canada. Each elector may well ask, how do we want the tax dollars allocated? When are deficits unavoidable?

Janet Pattinson, Salmon Arm

NDP governments create ‘have not’ situations

I see where Donald Sinclair is getting his hopes up for a NDP win in the Shuswap.

Let’s take a brief historic tour. For twenty years under conservative premier WAC, BC had a thriving economy and tremendous growth and development. Not too many years after him, the voters elected a NDP government that lasted for three years and ran the economy into the ground so that BC became a “have not” province dependent on federal handouts. This was followed by eleven years of growth and prudent management by conservative premier Bill Bennett. BC was a model of fiscal management. But the voters did not seem to like that so we had ten years of a succession of four NDP premiers, some of whom had to resign due to scandals. Once again, the economy in BC tanked and we were a “have not” province holding out a hand to the feds. It took a Liberal government with a lot of help from the Conservatives to get the province back to a healthy state.

In Ontario, the Bob Rae NDP government managed to run that province’s economy into the ground and they have still not recovered.

In oil-rich Alberta, the province was the engine that drove the Canadian economy for decades under consecutive Conservative governments.

Meanwhile, neighbouring oil and potash-rich Saskatchewan stagnated for decades under NDP governments. The youth fled the province by the thousands for jobs in AB and BC. Look at it now under a Conservative government. Possibly within a year, it will be one of the few “have” provinces in Canada once Notley’s NDP get to work on Alberta.

How any thinking person can contemplate voting NDP is an absolute mystery to me!

Letters to the Editor Will not be voting for an autocrat

Longest election campaign ever in Canada! What a shame, but no surprise!

I’ve never been partisan, so the political party I vote for fluctuates throughout the years. But what I will not vote for is a party that is led by an autocratic leader. So for me, this time round it is anything but Conservative. I am proud of being Canadian and do not agree with Harper’s ongoing degradation of our democratic values.

This upcoming election is a critical one when considering the serious consequences if Stephen Harper should be re-elected. Harper is very cunning when it comes to crafting legislation that

restricts democratic freedom and fair play. The election has been referred to, by investigative journalist Michael Harris, as the Rubicon election...a limit or point that we reach when the results of our actions cannot be changed. This election is a decision about ourselves as a country.

Think I am exaggerating about Harper being an autocrat? Here are a few book titles that might be of interest to you: Harperism: How Stephen Harper and his think tank colleagues have transformed Canada (D. Gutstein) Dismantling Canada: Stephen Harper’s New Conservative Agenda (B.

This is my 184th column. My first column was published on August 29, 2008. Holy Moly.

Thanks for reading; thanks for commenting; thanks for listening. It is such fun when you stop me in the grocery store to talk about the last column or call me to help you with a Decorating Dilemma because you read about just that problem in the column. Writing it is one of my favourite things to do, and your support makes it one of the most rewarding things I do. Thank you very much. Here’s to 184 more...

I was reading a column the other day about a designer’s bag of tricks–things he goes back to over and over. I thought I’d share my dozen adages and tricks with you here.

1. Hang the curtains and drapes as high above the window, and as wide off the window, as you can. This will make the window look larger, the walls look taller and wider, and the room look bigger.

2. Make those new drapes in a colour similar to the wall colour unless you want them to be the focal point of the room.

3. Add an area rug. Don’t underestimate its power in almost any room. Buy a small one and take it home to check the colour if you don’t want to schlep a big rug around.

4. Remove the area rug to help you see things in a fresh light if you are trying to rearrange the room. (Put it back later, but removing it helps you see things from a new perspective).

5. Add an extra lamp, just to be sure.

6. Pull the furniture out from the wall if the room feels cramped. I know this sounds crazy, but it works.

7. Give serious thought to traffic flow.

8. Don’t let the cable installer tell you where your TV should go.

9. Hang pictures with the horizontal centre at eye level. In a grouping, eye level is reserved for the most important pieces.

10. Keep the number of ‘big’ colours in a room to three. Take a picture of your room and if you can easily identify more than three, you probably have too many. Pare it down. The room will feel more calm, and by extension, so will you.

11. Pay attention to the psychology of colour.

And the heat of colour.

12. Do what is right for you and your family, and let the ‘pooh-bah’s’ (including me) fly a kite.

Thanks again for your loyalty.

SPORTS & LEISURE Field lacrosse tryouts happen at Blackburn

With the success of both of their Bantam and Midget Box Lacrosse teams winning the League Championship for the Thompson Okanagan Box Lacrosse Commission (TOMBLC) this year, now the organization is ready to move that success outdoors.

Historically the local kids have played on both Vernon and Kelowna teams, and they are excited to open up registration for kids to play for their home team this year.

Field lacrosse is a fantastic game, known for a reason as the “fastest sport on two feet,” and you are invited to come down and see why. There will be a registration and play day on Saturday, August 22, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Blackburn field (across the street from Trademark Glass).

Bring your sticks, gloves and helmets (hockey

helmets work just fine). Extra sticks will be available for use.

The league has teams for kids born 2010 to 1997. More information about registration, including the age brackets, can be found online at Shuswapminorlacrosse.com, or come down to Blackburn Park on Saturday, August 22 and your questions will be answered.

Field Lacrosse is a big collegiate sport proliferating throughout the colleges and universities in the States and Eastern Canada – many of these kids you see could soon be playing on scholarships at that upper level.

Email any questions to president@shuswapminorlacrosse.com, or call Heather at 250-8036253.

Horseshoers attend Summerland tournament

By Faith Juell On Saturday, August 8, the Summerland Horseshoe Club hosted its 59th annual horseshoe tournament.

Thirty-one members from throughout the valley, including one player from Arizona, played in the dry Okanagan heat.

Members enjoyed a light breakfast and bbq lunch served by the ladies of the club, as well as a raffle and games competition and the shady beer garden later.

The four members competing from Salmon Arm all played in the afternoon, and helped with scorekeeping for other groups in the morning.

The pitching competi-

tion was opened at 9:00 a.m. by president Ron Moser. In Mixed Elders play, Matt Honkanen placed 2nd to Juanita Laye’s 1st (a Summerland local).

Juanita also had the highest percentage of the day. In Elders class, Clarence Juell placed 2nd to Don Myrfield from Vernon.

Playing in a mixed seniors class, Faith Juell pitched to 3rd place, finishing behind Sheldon Wessle and Ron Coutts, both from Vernon.

This week was spent preparing for the annual August tournament in Salmon Arm, taking place on the 15th and 16th. There was much

cleaning, digging, cooking, and baking.

Last week we said goodbye to Taka, a Japanese guest from Japan, who enjoyed playing with us this summer.

For information on the club, call Doug at 250-832-8520 or Faith at 250-832-9873.

The issue of public access

It seems the battle lines are being drawn, over public access on crown lands, for future hunting, fishing, camping.

I presume much of this started with the advent of the dirt bike/ quad/ATV, and the need for someplace to play. With a very large and growing population on the lower mainland, the logical location would be the interior region of the Thompson/Nicola area, with its rolling hills and many lakes.

Boy, did they arrive. In droves. In the past few years, many campsites have been taken over, much to the frustration of locals, who once had peace and quite and good fishing.

Now, motorhomes and trailers adorn the landscape and lake edges, with mom and dad relaxing while the teenagers roar around on trails and hills.

But looking at the bigger picture, there has to be more boots on the ground with Parks/CO staff, for them to be able to manage and control the masses, to conserve the trees, soil, and wildlife. It’s not likely to happen, though, as the Province has their own mandate, on manpower in the field, in a province that’s rich in its natural diversity and beauty.

The reaction to the influx of folks wanting a place to enjoy themselves in our rangelands, lakes, and parks, is an issue of liability, as many persons have to cross private land, ranches, etc, to find a spot. More gates and ‘No trespassing’ signs are going up, deterring

the public and their enjoyment. A glowing example is the court case between the Douglas Lake Ranch, and the Nicola Valley Fish and Game Club.

This has already been tested in the first court battle. The owner of the ranch, a billionaire, has recently purchased two more ranches, in Nicola country, to add

winter, with trespass charges being laid by the RCMP. The manager of highways in Kamloops, along with the Province, sided with the ranch, but recently did an aboutface. However, the little club battles on, with dinners and other fundraisers, to offset the $30,000 laid on them by the judge for

“There has to be more boots on the ground with Parks/CO staff, to manage and control the masses.” to his holdings. The club is determined to prove that the road to Minney and Stoney Lakes, southwest of Merritt, is public.

Records in the possession of Rick McGowan show that it is. Rick was hired on as a surveyor with the Department of Highways, by engineer Nick Grabosky, while I was a sign man for the district. Rick’s office was next to my sign shop at the time.

Big Jimmie, a Native grader operator, graded the road many times, and all the locals fished the lakes.

Trees were felled, and bridges removed, stopping access to the lakes, of which the ranch has a lodge on one for paying guests to fish. In defiance, club members icefished the lakes last

court costs. The fish and game club also found out that the ranch had been using undeeded crown land for grazing cattle, at Courtney Lake, so they removed that fence, allowing public access.

But the issue of crown lands vs deeded or owned lands for ranch use, goes deeper than that, pertaining to Douglas Lake’s issue.

About 1984, Brenda Mines’ operations near Peachland were in full swing. There was also a hydro power line running cross-country.

This brought hunters, anglers, and campers into Nicola country, but also directly in line with Douglas Lake’s deeded/owned private holdings in the Pennask Lake country.

At the time, the ranch was diversifying,

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

by Hank Shelley clearing land for more grazing. Logging. The manager at the time, Brian DeChance, had a growing concern about spooked cattle, with the hunters and fishermen crossing their land. They were also in the process of using the lakes for paying guests, and lodges/cabins were built on Stoney and Salmon Lakes.

But getting back to the court case, former surveyor Rick McGowan was willed Paradise Lake’s lodge and cabins by his parents.

In our shrinking environment, with more retirees and youth on dirt bikes, quads, and more pressure on our hunting and fishing opportunities, local, regional, and provincial land planners will have to come up with a consensus that satisfies all users. The BC Wildlife Federation’s main board has now drawn up a plan that will hopefully work down the road for all users of the outdoors, working with ranchers and private holders of lands bordering on Crown lands, lakes, rivers, and hunting areas.

It has happened on the Fraser River, with a group that has all stakeholders, Native bands, recreational anglers, and guides working together with a conflict resolution committee to avoid conflicts over salmon allocation and fishing rights. Their website is http://fraserriverpeacemakers.ca

NEWSPAPER ROLL ENDS Great for table covers, pets, crafts, packing or colouring paper for the kids

Here and there in the Shuswap Drought conditions are bringing more wildlife into cities and rural areas. With high-value nutrients they normally feed on drying up, it’s more difficult to forage; and even harder for wildlife with the wildfire situation. No doubt, hundreds of small critters, and many moose, deer, elk, and bears have perished, or become badly burned.

Many animals become confused when a fire approaches, and will turn to what they think is home, dashing back into the flaming forest.

Here’s hoping you survived the long weekend in good fashion, and are enjoying the many local fruits and vegetables, buns, bread etc, at our local stands, and are enjoying our wonderful Shuswap!

Letters to the Editor The raw egg vs. raw milk

Yes, that is the topic of my current rant. We all know and understand the risks of eggs due to the fact that they are impossible to pasteurize before the consumer buys them. We also know they have been “candled,” meaning they get checked by people who look inside of it with a bright light.

Seriously? We are to take a candle’s word that our eggs are safe?

According to the Food Safety industry the candle is right...so I ask MLAs and the food safety authorities and the “Red Tape Sticker people...if we are to take a candle’s word (A.K.A. buy at your

Is the government of Canada really going to say,”You can eat eggs at your own risk but you have no voice over other foods. I, for one, will not take their word and I would rather trust a good old farmer and his cows to the government’s poisoned red tape. P.S.

Security improves Voice your support for quality seniors’ care

Tom Fletcher, Black Press The B.C. health ministry is adding an extra $2 million to improve security at four facilities identified as having the highest risk for violence.

Extra staff, new alarms and violence prevention training will be among strategies for Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Port Coquitlam, Hillside Centre in Kamloops, Seven Oaks Tertiary Mental Health in Victoria and Abbotsford Regional Hospital.

Health Minister Terry Lake announced the extra funding Thursday with B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil. Eight more health facilities have been identified as priorities for additional help, and more are expected to be identified this fall, Lake said.

Duteil said increased staffing around the clock at Hillside psychiatric hospital mean that nurses will no longer have to work alone. She said violence is a risk for all health care facilities in the province, including residential care.

“Health care workers as a whole receive the highest number of WorkSafeBC injury claims for violence-related injuries across this province,” Duteil said. “They actually have more injuries than police officers related to violence.”

Duteil said a nurse at the Abbotsford emergency room has not returned to work after an assault in March left him with stitches to his face. Fraser Health reported that there were three security guards on duty at the time who responded immediately to what police described as a sudden, unprovoked attack by a 23-year-old man.

Lake said the ministry committed $37 million to violence education in 2011. Since then the annual total of “Code White” violence incidents has declined from 4,300 a year to 3,700.

By Judy Galley Senior neglect and abuse in facilities continues, even though the government claims that the “key priorities” have been addressed in the Senior Action Plan initiated in 2012. If you have any knowledge of senior facilities, you already know that poor management, inadequate and inappropriate staff, as well as few penalties for non-compliance, are the key issues. Instead, they have focused on medical reviews, enhanced training and medical oversight. Enhanced training does not change the personality of an abusive employee. The Community Care and Assisted Living Act requires operators to only employ people of “good character.” And yet, while child care workers are subject to a “personality evaluation,” those caring for seniors are not.

Residential Care rates were increased in 2010. The government says that the extra revenue of $85.6 million was reinvested to increase staff levels. And yet it is common knowledge that most senior facilities are seriously under staffed. So where did all that money go?

Of all of the improvements that the Action Plan states that it has made, the government admits that there are two that have not yet been addressed. A licensing review to identify changes needed to ensure standards of care, and abuse prevention. They have chosen to neglect the most important issues.

Instead, they spent 1.4 million of our tax dollars on the “Community Response Network.” They have put a priority on the response to abuse, instead of making the changes that will prevent it. If they changed their system of “progressive compliance” to one of “enforced compliance,” quality of care would improve. They think that we will be happy to hear that the Action Plan has increased the focus of inspectors in “high risk” facilities. Most people

would be fooled by this unless they already know that the most common consequence imposed upon management is a verbal warning, followed by a written warning if non-compliance continues. Managers of privately owned facilities can continue with a poor job performance for years because the government says that they don’t have the authority to fire them. So how serious can these warnings be? The Ombudsman has stated that the Senior Health Care system has been designed with no “benchmarks” that the Ministry, the Health Authorities or the operators have to abide by.

The Action Plan also states that improvements have been made in the Assisted Living Registrar: response times, communication with complainants, and monitoring for follow-up action. My involvement in trying to help seniors in a particular Assisted Living facility has proven that the ALR

has not implemented this directive.

Numerous complaints have been made about this facility for years. Several of these complaints were made in the fall of 2014 and these people are still waiting for a response. And the conditions in this facility are worse than ever; including poor management, verbally abusive staff, insufficient medical oversight and poor food.

The Action Plan was initiated in 2012.

In 2013, 16,000 Elder Abuse Prevention Kits were distributed to communities across the province. Over the next year, the demand for more was so high that they printed 15,000 more in 2014. That is a clear indication that the Action Plan has had very little effect in preventing abuse or neglect.

Action Plan Theme 3 says, ‘This Province recognizes the need of protection and enforcement’. The information that I have just given you proves that they do not. There is no enforcement of good management, adequate staff, or appropriate staff.

If you agree that our seniors are not receiving the care that they deserve, please help them by voicing your opinion to the government at: premier@gov.bc.ca The Premier’s response may direct you to share your opinion with the new Senior Advocate, Isobel MacKenzie. She is fully aware of the problems with the current system and has already shared what she has found with the public. She was surprisingly honest and sincere in her wish to help the seniors of this province. She is already doing all that she can to convince the government to make the most effective changes. All of us can help to bring about these changes by voicing our support of her heartfelt efforts to the Premier.

I would be happy to receive your opinion on this matter at judygalley0@ gmail.com.

Interior Health sees increase in whooping cough

Interior Health is seeing an increase in pertussis cases, also known as whooping cough, and would like to remind parents about the importance of making sure their children’s immunizations are up-to-date. Pertussis activity is being seen across the region with the majority of cases currently in the Central Okanagan.

“Infants under one year of age are most at risk for serious complications from pertussis,” said Dr. Kamran

Golmohammadi, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “Pertussis starts with similar symptoms to a common cold (runny nose, sore throat, and mild fever) and then progresses to a cough. The cough can become severe, with or without a classic whooping sound and may be accompanied by gasping, gagging, shortness of breathing and vomiting. In serious cases it can lead to pneumonia, seizures, brain damage or even death.”

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS

APPLICATIONS FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE GRANTS In accordance with the District’s Community Service Grants Policy (formerly Grants-in-Aid), applications are to be received prior to August 31st, 2015 for consideration in the 2016 budget. Application forms are available at the District office at 446 Main Street, Sicamous, B.C. or on the District’s website: www.sicamous.ca - click on “Application Forms”.

Kelly Bennett, CA Chief Financial Officer

Immunization is the best way to prevent the spread of this disease. The pertussis vaccine is part of the routine childhood vaccinations that are given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 18 months old, and again at age 4 to 6 years (before Kindergarten). A pertussis vaccine is also given to teens at 14 to 16 years of age (Grade 9) in British Columbia.

“We are strongly advising all parents to ensure their children are immunized so they are not at risk,” adds Dr. Golmohammadi. “The pertussis vaccine is very safe and effective in preventing the spread of this disease.”

Parents are advised to check their child’s immunization record and make sure they are up to date.

Information about accessing immunization records can be found at ImmunizeBC. To discuss pertussis immunization for children or to book an appointment, contact your local public health centre. Adults who have not been immunized for pertussis can contact their local pharmacy to inquire about getting the vaccine.

For more info, visit HealthLink BC (http://www. healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles/hfile15c.stm); ImmunizeBC (http://immunizebc.ca/diseases-vaccinations/pertussis), or call your local public health centre. To find a health centre near you, use our online search tool http://www.interiorhealth.ca/ FindUs/_layouts/FindUs/By.aspx?type=Location.

Health centres are also listed under Health Authorities in the blue pages of your telephone directory.

Paint, teabags, lubricants, and bad odours

Dear Reena, I am in need of repainting my exterior front door.

Before painting, I must choose paint but I don’t know if the paint currently on the door is latex or oil. Do you know how I can figure that out? Aron Dear Aron, Using a cotton ball, wipe a small section of the door with rubbing alcohol. If color is removed, the paint is likely water-based. To paint over latex; lightly sand the door to promote good adhesion and paint with a coat of primer before applying two or more coats of good quality paint. If the door is currently oil-based; completely sand the door well before applying primer and good quality paint. Choosing cheap quality paint often ends up costing you more because you need more coats for good coverage – not worth the headache in my opinion.

Dear Reena, How many times can I use a tea bag before it is garbage? Thanks. Darren Dear Darren, It depends on the tea and the strength that you desire, in my opinion tea only tastes good with one tea bag use.

But others suggest that white and/or green tea bags can be used 3 to 4 times. Some people agree that a black tea bag may be re-used all day, but should be tossed at the end of the day so that bacteria does not grow on the bag.

Others argue that the bag can be used the next day as well, as long as the bag sits in water in the fridge overnight.

Renee Pridham April 20, 1925 - July 31, 2015 Mom died peacefully at home on the “Blue Moon” with her family present. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Russel (2003); baby daughter Jean (1958); parents: Paul and Emma Lachat. Her faithful companion Peggy is completely lost without her. She will be forever loved by her daughters: Marion (Gregg), Donna (Bob); grandchildren: Roberta (Ryan), Derek, and Chad (Ashley). Her great grandchildren: Lindsay, Paige, Brett, Hannah, and Lauren brought her great joy! Survived by sister Bertha; brother-in-law Roy; and sister-in-law Yvonne, plus many nieces and nephews.

Mom was born in Switzerland, immigrating to Wynndel, BC as a baby. Mom and Dad met in Creston, BC and were married in 1944. In 1959 we moved to Armstrong, BC having purchased a dairy farm. Mom loved gardening, cooking, canning, and baking. Her delicious dinners were legendary. Mom and Dad retired to Sorrento where they have many beloved friends who will miss her wisdom, advice, and kindness.

Mom’s home for the last 3 years was the Victorian Retirement Residence in Vernon where she made many wonderful friends.

She felt blessed to turn 90 in April, celebrating with two parties; one with family and friends at her daughter’s and another with her friends at the Victorian. Mom called these functions her celebration of life and requested no service.

“Our Mother loved her garden ‘Til Heaven she did go Where growing seasons never end And blooms don’t fade, but grow” Expressions of sympathy and memories of Renee can be shared at www.myalternatives.ca Cremation arrangements entrusted to ALTERNATIVES FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES® Armstrong 250-546-7237 & Vernon 250-558-0866

MARGARET MAIA RABOCH It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret (Peggy) Maia Raboch.

She passed away peacefully on the afternoon of Saturday, July 25th at Parkview Place in Enderby.

Peggy was born in Nelson on December 22nd, 1923. She was predeceased by her parents, Jenny and Lancelot Lowes of Grindrod; her siblings, David Lowes, and Isabel Peterson (Lowes); her son, Ronald (Ron) Davy; her niece, Laurie Peterson; and her step-daughter, Lorali Sanjenko (Raboch).

Peggy grew up and lived her early years in Grindrod. She graduated from high school in Enderby, and then went to Normal School in Vancouver for her teacher’s training.

She married Keith Davy in 1943 and they purchased a farm in Mara and had two children, Lynne and Ron. She travelled with her young family for work in logging camps all over the interior, making good use of her strength and ability to do anything and handle whatever came her way. She later taught school in Mara, and then in Salmon Arm and is fondly remembered by many former students. She married her husband Alvin Raboch in 1978. She was a constant and loving companion to Alvin, travelling with him and supporting him in every way in his log-buying business. After retiring from teaching, she took charge of the bookkeeping of their family business. She is well remembered by friends and family for her kind, caring, and gentle nature.

Peggy lives on in the memory of her husband, Alvin Raboch; her brother, Jamie (Lorrie) Lowes; her daughter, Lynne Fulton (Davy); her daughter-in-law, Ann Yahn; her step-daughters, Shelley (Lyle) Sanjenko and Cindy (Tom) Ferguson; her grandchildren, Jordie (Rebecca) and Kayla Fulton (Lynne’s children); Megan (Keihin) and Kiel Davy (Ron’s children); Aubrey & Micah Sanjenko (Shelley’s children); Jeremy (Sheryl), Hanna (Ryan) and Bethany Sanjenko (Lorali’s children); Jocelyn (Cindy’s daughter); and great-grandchildren, Jonathan Fulton (Jordie), Colton & Caitlynn Sanjenko (Jeremy), Dylan & Carter Mickey (Hanna).

The family would like to thank the staff of Parkview Place in Enderby for the compassion and care shown to Peggy during her final years there.

An intimate family service was held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 30, 2015 at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services in Armstrong, B.C., for which the family would like to send out a special thank you to Brittnie Olsen for her exceptional kindness and thoughtful attention to detail.

June 23, 2015 Glen passed away peacefully with family at his side on June 23, 2015 at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm at the age of 84.

Glen was born in hospital in Salmon Arm on August 18, 1930 to Hazel and Mathius Pederson. He lived in and around the Shuswap as a boy until he was 8 then moved to Vancouver. At 17, he started work for the railroad out of Beavermouth until he transferred to Revelstoke.

Glen married the love of his life, Margo, in 1950 and started work in the sawmill business first in Chase, Smithers, Maple Ridge and finally out of Sicamous.

He loved to fish, play golf and watch hockey, football and especially Blue Jays baseball. We are blessed with so many fond memories of going up the Shuswap Lake in the boat that he built. Glen enjoyed trips to Reno, Las Vegas and the horse track for the races. He loved to play his guitar, sing songs and was known to have the “odd cold beer”. Glen was a hard-working, caring man and loved having his family and friends close to him.

Glen was predeceased by his mother Hazel, father Mathius, brothers Clayton and Ted, sisters Olive and Evelyn. He is lovingly remembered by his loving wife of 64 years, Margo, son Ronald (Theresa) Pederson, daughter Roxanne (Lou) Nish and grandchildren; Matthew, Shelley, Dawn, Keith, Lorraine, Traci, Connie, Jeff, Tara and a multitude of great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother John (Donna) Pederson.

A celebration of life in honour of Glen will be held at Shuswap Lake Community Center, 2504 Centennial Drive, Lower Level, August 22 at 2:00pm. Service to be followed by BBQ with family and friends.

On line condolences may be sent to Glen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com If so desired contributions in memory of Glen may be made to the Canadian Lung Association and would be greatly appreciated.

Drought takes toll on rivers, land

Lakeshore News travels to

Baracoa, Cuba

Vic Graat, with his fiance Aniuska, with her daughter behind them, in front of a statue of Christopher Columbus. Aniuska lives in Baracoa, Cuba, and Vic spent five months living with her, from November 2014 to April 2015.

During this time there, he visited various places on the island including Havana, Santiago, and Guantánamo Bay. Vic enjoyed his stay in Cuba,

and says that it is a great place to visit. He says that it is a time-consuming process for Cubans to leave the country, and plans to wed next year, once his fiance comes to Canada.

Vic receives $10 for having his picture printed, and is entered into the Lakeshore News Travels To contest for 2015.

Travels To payments must be picked up in person at Lakeshore News, 161 Hudson Ave NE.

Tom Fletcher, Black Press Water use restrictions, inland fishing closures and a close watch on the warming Fraser River continue as drought conditions extend into a fourth month in B.C. The Fraser River discharge at Hope measured 31 per cent lower than normal Aug. 10, with the temperature at 19.2 C, one degree higher than average. The Canada-U.S. Fraser River Panel projected a temperature of 20.4 by Aug. 16, with all commercial salmon fishing closed in Canadian waters regulated by the panel.

The B.C. government extended stage four drought restricted to the Okanagan region, allowing local officials to suspend water licences depending on stream conditions.

The South Thompson, Similkameen, Kettle and Skagit, South Coast and Vancouver Island regions are also at stage four.

Low stream flow advisories are in effect for those areas and the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

The forests ministry extended its stream fishing ban this week on the Okanagan River mainstem between Okanagan and Osoyoos Lakes.

The Kootenay and East Kootenay regions have been declared at level three drought, with voluntary use restrictions of 30 per cent below normal use for municipal, agricultural and industrial water users.

Coastal regions have had some relief with rain and cooler temperatures that have reduced the forest fire danger rating to low for much of western B.C. A campfire ban was lifted Wednesday for northern Vancouver Island, and open fires are also permitted in the northwest and Prince George regions.

B.C.’s most active fires and new fires continue in the southern coastal region, including the Wood Lake fire near Harrison Lake, the Elaho and Boulder Creek fires near Pemberton, and the Cougar Creek fire west of Merritt.

BC Hydro has also asked customers to reduce electricity use to maintain reservoir levels as dry weather continued in most of the province.
