# More than 150 people signed a petition calling for safety improvements to Cottonwood Street to assist children crossing over to Haldane Elemen-tary and Chase Secondary.

Near-misses spark safety petition

A Chase mother is taking a stand for the safety of her children after witnessing too many close calls on a local school road.

Sick of worrying, Dalana Wil-liams recently organized a petition to get the crosswalks in a local school zone painted – a request, she hopes, will be considered by village coun-cil.

While Williams doesn’t consider herself to be much of a complainer, she recently decided something had to be done about the hazardous road that has not one, but two local schools located on it.

Williams didn’t want to make a big fuss, but says she couldn’t sit

back anymore.“I didn’t want to be one of those

people who just sit back silently and gets nothing done. I do not normally do things like this, and I have never made a petition, but this is important to me. I have four kids that go to, or will be going to, the school.”

Cottonwood Street is approxi-mately one kilometre long with one side almost completely taken up by Haldane Elementary and Chase Sec-ondary schools.

The road is narrow and has no sidewalks. The road itself doesn’t even have a centre line.

The elementary school lacks suf-ficient parent parking, so parents are forced to park their vehicles along the side of the road when picking up or dropping off, leaving little room

for children to walk. The parked cars also block the children from being seen by oncoming traffic, forcing them to peer out and walk out onto the road in order to be noticed.

There are two faded and barely visible crosswalks located at either end of the road.

One is located directly on a corner, which is frequently busy during school hours. Children must cross Cedar Avenue to get to the crosswalk to cross Cottonwood.

According to Patrick Regush, the village’s public works supervisor, the old crosswalks have not been re-painted in years because they have been deemed unsafe. No word was given on why new crosswalks were not created upon deciding the old ones were hazardous.

Regush visited Cottonwood Street on June 20 with Joni Heinrich, vil-lage administrator, to examine the site.

Neither Regush nor Heinrich think making a centre line down the road will make a difference to how people drive. In a letter to Williams, Hein-rich explained that they witnessed vehicles doing U-turns along the road. However, they do not believe lines painted on the road will deter people from these types of actions.

Regush also pointed out that white lines are painted on the sides of the road to give children a place to walk safely. These spots, however, are taken up by parents’ vehicles. This area, according to the letter, is not

meant for this type of use.

Regush does not think re-painting the lines will keep people from park-ing there, but instead encourage it.

But, Williams says, almost daily people can stand by the road and watch as one vehicle will stop to allow a child to cross, only to have the vehicle behind pull around thinking they are simply stopping to drop off a child.

“There have been many near accidents,” she says.

She describes how she stands in her drive-way, which is located almost directly in front of the school, and watches each morning as her oldest daughter heads to the elementa-ry.

“There are days when she would stand on the side of the road for 10 minutes waiting for someone to stop and let her cross. Eventually I had to go and help her.”

“It is really sad to me,” says Williams. “I don’t want to have to walk her to school ev-eryday until she is 10, especially if we live right across the street.”

“I do not care if there is a crosswalk right in front of my house, as long as the kids have

somewhere safe they can go.”

Williams began the petition for new cross-walks after she logged into Facebook earlier this month to rant about her frustration with the road. She didn’t expect anything to come out of it, she was just blowing off steam.

Up until then she had never heard anyone else complain about the dan-gers of Cottonwood, but within an hour many local moms had re-sponded with their own, equally frustrated, thoughts.

“That is when I de-cided to make the peti-tion,” said Williams, “after I found out there were many more like me.”

She called the village office, where she was advised to write a letter.

“I wrote the letter that night.”

She put the letter on Facebook and asked parents for their input before dropping her pe-tition off at the local movie store, located in Chase’s downtown area.

“I didn’t go door-to-door with it or anything like that,” said Wil-liams.

Within days, her peti-tion had already gath-ered almost 150 signa-tures, and she submitted it to the village.

Despite many parents

requesting that side-walks be added, Wil-liams decided not to in-clude it in her letter.

“Sidewalks are ex-pensive. I figured while there may not be a bud-get for sidewalks, there may be some for a little road paint.”

Williams has also at-tended local PAC meet-ings where, she discov-ered, there were even more parents concerned about road safety.

“There was talk that if a sidewalk is put in we might be able to get a crossing guard,” says Williams. “We could adapt what other schools have done and get a Grade 7 student released a little early to help out kids, or we could try for parent volunteers,” she explains.

“These are things we will need to work out with the school.”

For now Williams is just hoping that the road gets new crosswalks and a centre line.

“I don’t expect it this school year, but hope-fully by September.”

Chase Mayor Ron Anderson was not avail-able for comment, but Heinrich did acknowl-edge that the letter was received.

“The village would like to do a lot of major upgrades on the road,” says Heinrich who agrees that William’s re-quests are perfectly rea-

sonable, but says these upgrades are not in the budget.

Williams has since re-ceived a letter indicating the village is proposing two new crosswalks be-tween the schools.

One is where the school buses pull in to drop children off and the other is by the en-trance to the elementary school.

Heinrich also provid-ed a “very rough” esti-mate of $5,000 to paint the new crosswalks on the road.

When asked if the crosswalks could be created by September, she responded, “I don’t see why not. It depends on if we have the money and if we can find a contractor to do it, or even if we can do it our-selves.”

Heinrich, who lives on the road herself, agrees that Williams’ re-quests are “definitely needed.”

The letter along with the petition will be pre-sented to Chase council at their next meeting on June 26, which is open to the public.

Until then, staff are gathering as much in-formation as possible, including price quotes, so a decision can be made that night. Wil-liams was also invited to join Regush to discuss the issues further and share ideas.

Maybe you just spent a lot of money for a new trans-mission. Or maybe someone else you know did.

Whatever the reason, you’d like to avoid major trans-mission repairs in the future.

Makes sense. And there are a number of things you can do to keep your car’s transmission working properly for years to come. Some involve maintenance; others involve changing your driving habits.

1. Check the Transmis-

sion Fluid Regularly — Few things will reduce transmission operation and longevity more than low or damaged fl uid. If your car has a transmis-sion dipstick, you should

check the transmission fl uid level and condition at least once a month.

Part 1 of a 5 part series

One way to keep your transmission in good working order is to check

the fl uid regularly.

SHUSWAPLake continues to rise, more rain expected

If the weather guessers have got it right, sunscreen will be replaced by gumboots and umbrellas – again.

Canoe Beach and the pedestrian underpass have been closed to the public and the washrooms at the end of Salmon Arm’s marine wharf were within 15 centimetres of being closed Wednesday after-noon.

The brief spate of warm weather is due to be replaced tomorrow by at least another four days of rain, raising the level of the lake even more.

“It’s the season to be thinking about severe weather,” says Doug Lundquist, warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada, who notes the advancing cold-air system could arrive with severe thunderstorms. “June is normally wet; I call it the mon-soonal month, but this one is on steroids.”

Between June 1 and 16, the weather station at Salmon Arm Airport measured 80 millimetres of rain, considerably higher than

normal rainfall, which is 63 mm for the entire month.

Heavy rain and rapid snowmelt at upper levels has swollen rivers and resulted in the BC River Fore-cast Centre issuing a flood warn-ing for the Shuswap River near Enderby, and a flood watch for Shuswap Lake and tributaries, in-cluding Eagle River.

B.C.’s River Forecast Centre was expecting another surge in levels Wednesday evening or early Thursday, with additional rises of 15 cm above current levels possi-ble. A flood watch means river levels are rising and will approach or may overflow banks, and a flood warning means river levels have exceeded the banks or will exceed them imminently.

“Shuswap Lake is expected to continue rising through the next week and peak at approximately 20-year levels,” reads the adviso-ry.

By Wednesday afternoon, the lake level was 349.17 metres – up seven cm overnight, and City of Salmon Arm public works staff were busy implementing the city’s action plan.

A log boom was set out off the

end of the Salmon Arm wharf and gangplanks have all been adjust-ed.

Public Works manager John Rosenberg says Federated Co-op needs to be commended for re-sponding so quickly in setting out the boom and charging only for the cost of machinery to do the job.

“They’ve been a great corporate citizen, very responsive,” he says.

Rosenberg says there has been an erosion of the land by wave ac-tion and the boat launch dock in Canoe is now four feet away from the land.

“The federal wharf is still acces-sible, but the parking lot is under water, and in another four inches it will be so deep you’ll need to wear your bathing suit.”

The Columbia Shuswap Re-gional District’s Shuswap Emer-gency Program (SEP) has issued a public advisory asking boaters to be courteous and conscious of the height of the wake caused by their boat.

“Boats travelling at high speed and close to shore can cause waves that increase water level as much as two feet, resulting in increased

flooding and damage to affected residents,” says the release.

SEP advises the province has made sandbags and sand available at government expense to those affected by flooding. These are available at the City of Salmon Arm public works yard, District of Sicamous public works yard, Swansea Point’s Oxford Road Beach Access Point, Sorrento

Parts and Service, Gem Gravel in Celista and Falkland Fairgrounds beside Bolean Creek Bridge.

It is important to stay away from watercourses at this time. Banks will be slippery and potentially unstable due to the erosive quali-ties of fast-flowing water.

As well, water that looks calm on top often has deadly currents and eddies below the surface

It’s a sign of the times.Silver Creek residents showed

their concern in great numbers, packing the community hall last Wednesday night to hear and ask questions about crime in the area.

Silver Creek Community Asso-ciation president Jamie Felhauer was stunned by the large crowd that filled the hall, particularly since the public was advised only two days previously.

Felhauer says the meeting was called after members of the com-munity association heard the con-cerns of two residents Monday, June 9.

“A gentleman has posted signs around Silver Creek and one of the community association members

called the guy and said we’re hav-ing a meeting, come and tell us what happened,” says Felhauer, noting the man was accompanied by a friend.

The first individual told about the theft of his tools at his residence near the bottom of Yankee Flats Road and said he had phoned Ver-non, not knowing which policing area he lives in.

The friend, who lives farther south out of the Salmon Arm de-tachment area, related a story of a home invasion and robbery includ-ing four men dressed entirely in black, one carrying a cattle prod and the other a sawed-off shotgun. He did not report the incident to police.

The details of this story con-cerned members of the community association but also made them

wonder why police were not called.

“We talked some more and after they left, we discussed the matter and decided to hold a community-wide meeting at the hall,” Felhauer says.

While Felhauer says attending RCMP member Sgt. Carlos Tett-lowski of Salmon Arm was patient in fielding questions, area residents were upset and frightened.

“We did discuss having a com-munity liaison person, someone who would pass information onto the police,” she says. “My phone rang off the hook the next day with people giving me information. It surprised me about the information that I need to pass on to the po-lice.”

While he understands residents’ concerns about recent break-ins,

Salmon Arm detachment Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane says crime is rela-tively low in Silver Creek.

He points out that 487 property crimes have been reported in the detachment area, but only 15 (or three per cent) of them occurred in Silver Creek – two involved ex- partners going into homes to re-move items, one involving gas card fraud that was committed in Van-couver, a jeep doing doughnuts in the snow, and another, the vandal-izing of the Silver Creek Commu-nity Park concession April 7.

The rest involved an assortment of thefts including quads, a tele-phone, a generator, a wallet, cam-eras, a solar panel, makeup and toilet paper, among other things.

Keane says following a tip from a member of the public, three “pro-lific offenders” from Kamloops are

back in jail and a number of items they had stashed in a motorhome in the community park recovered.

In response to complaints at the June 11 meeting about the demise of the Crime Watch program, a decision taken at higher levels of the federal police force, Keane says community members need to watch out for each other.

He says that at the end of the day, any community program is sup-posed to be run by the community. And unlike bigger detachments such as Vernon’s, Salmon Arm does not have the resources to have a person dedicated to such issues.

Felhauer, meanwhile, invites area residents to attend the next community association meeting, which will be held at the commu-nity hall at 7 p.m. Monday, July16. Crime will be on the agenda.

Day for Canada and kidsThe free Canada Day Children’s Festival is

ready to roll out at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 1.

A highly popular event, this year’s festivities in-clude a main stage featuring Kiki the Eco Elf, Mi-chael Mitchell, Neale Bacon and his Crazy Crit-ters, and local musical group, One Camel Short.

New for 2012 will be free wagon rides offered by Joyce Marchant. Other free activities include several infl atable bouncy houses, a dance exhibi-tion by local dance studios, 4H small animal dis-play, plus lots of arts and activity tents.

The dance studio will be set up in the arena so the show can go on – in comfort – rain or shine.

Fifty-cent games will be there for the playing, including the ever-popular fi sh pond, tattoo par-lour and wacky hair salon.

First Nations dancing will take place just before the 12:30 p.m. cake cutting ceremony.

The rain that had been fall-ing for the better part of a week had stopped and the clouds seemed to have parted – there were even patches of blue sky – on Sunday morn-ing around 5:30 to 6 a.m. when a lot of bleary-eyed people were getting up to bring their kids down to the 16th Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby. The question on most of their minds was would the weather hold?

Well, it it did hold out for the whole of the morning and well over 600 participants, parents and grandparents, from as far away as the Lower Mainland, came out to celebrate Father’s Day down on the docks at the end of the wharf at Marine Park.

Within minutes of the offi-cial 7 a.m. start, little bitty Jenna Rae Pieper caught and landed the first fish of the derby. During the awards ceremony which followed the derby, Peiper received the Mall at Piccadilly Trophy, a rod and reel outfit and a $100 Daybreak Rotary scholarship for her catch.

After that, the more than 200 kids who had registered

for the derby just kept on catching fish after fish – close to 400 were caught (and mostly released) over the course of the morning.

Nicole Andrews landed a 2,210-gram whopper to secure first place in the Larg-est Fish category. Andrews received the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union - W. J. (Bill) Murray Memo-rial Trophy, an IM-6 graphite fly rod and reel outfit, and a $100 James Murray Scholar-ship. She will also get to take her whole family on an all expenses paid weekend fish-ing trip to Beaver Lake Lodge, which will include accommodations, boat and motor rental and $100 worth of groceries from Askew’s Foods. Not bad for one coarse

fish. Dawson Enright took second place honours in the Largest Fish category, while Logan Ferguson placed third.

Throughout the morning their was quite a rivalry between three or four ardent anglers vying for the Most Fish category. In the end, Mason Buzzell won out and walked away with the City of Salmon Arm Trophy, a one-year pass the the SASCU Recreation swimming pool and a rod and reel outfit. He also received a $100 Rotary Club of Salmon Arm schol-arship.

Andrea Penner and Carson Venna caught and landed fish closest to predetermined secret hidden weights and each received a mountain bike from Canadian Tire.

The Fourth Annual Best Fishing Story Contest, spon-sored by the Salmar Grand and James Murray and held in conjunction with the Kids Fishing Derby, was won by Hillcrest Elementary School Grade 5 student Mackenzie Hall. Not only will her name be engraved on the Salmar Community Association Tro-phy, she also receives the

$100 James Murray Scholar-ship and a One Year Pass to the movies. And if her pass isn’t a cool enough prize, everyone in her class receives a one-time movie pass as well.

Jamie Walters won the Canadian Tire Parent Appre-ciation draw prize of a fully decked-out, stainless-steel barbecue and $100 worth of groceries from Askew’s Foods.

As with most events in town, a lot of volunteers helped out to pull the derby off. I take my hat off to not only all the sponsors and volunteers who helped out with this year’s Kids Fishing Derby, but also to those spon-sors and volunteers who get behind every other event. It made me feel pretty good Sunday, when the derby was over, and three different young people (who would be 13 years old next year and, subsequently, too old to par-ticipate in the derby) came up to me and said they wanted to volunteer next year.

All in all, I’d say it was a pretty good event - I know a lot of kids (and parents) sure had a lot of fun.

Okanagan wineries are anxiously awaiting pending legislation that could bring significant improvements to their bottom line.

A private member’s bill from Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas will introduce amend-ments to federal laws that restrict the sale of Canadian wine across provincial borders. Bill C-311, which eliminates a 1928 Prohibition-era law, cleared the Senate this week after previously receiving unanimous support in Parliament. It’s expected to receive royal assent later this month.

But it may still be a little early to pop any corks in celebration. Because even after Ottawa clears the way for wine to be shipped across provincial borders, wine sales will still be limited by a host of provincial legislation.

The provinces still need to establish their own exemptions to allow the personal purchase and shipment of alcoholic beverages across provincial borders.

Earlier this month, B.C. announced its own provincial tax exemptions for alcoholic bever-ages, with residents now allowed to bring back one standard case of wine (nine litres) from another province without paying B.C. tax on it.

And there is some question whether the federal bill will clear the way for online sales of Cana-dian wine.

Allowing tourists to bring home a case of Oka-nagan wine will undoubtedly see financial bene-fits trickle down to the industry, but opening the door to online sales would increase those benefits dramatically.

So while the pending changes to federal regula-tions are a cause for celebration here in the Oka-nagan, more work is still needed to help B.C.’s wine industry tap into its potential.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

MAIL BAGWhy are the Conser-

vatives constantly com-plaining about taxpay-ers’ funding (through tax exempt status) of environmental groups because they are al-lowed to spend 10 per-cent of their budget on political activity, even suggesting that there are no shortage of oth-ers who are doing that

work, while remaining silent about right-wing think tanks like the Fraser Institute, who basically spend 100 per cent of their budget on political activity, doing the same thing on the taxpayer’s dollar?

Why should corpo-rate lobbying be tax de-ductible as a business expense at all?

Why do the Conser-vatives wrongly attack the United Church for supporting a boycott of Israel (they weren’t) yet remain silent about other religious groups funding “Right to Life?”

Why should ex Con-servative cabinet min-isters be allowed to set up lobbying companies

and accept money from foreign corporations and individuals to sub-vert our government?

How can anyone suggest that this is other than a crude ef-fort to stifle dissent and prevent citizens from performing what is not only a democratic right but a duty to criticize and be involved in po-

litical discourse in ourcountry?

Will the Conserva-tives be willing to live by the same rules afterthey lose power?

Colin Mayes is, af-ter all, our employee.Why should we rehiresomeone who continu-ally lies to us?

Changes will improve the EI system

The Employment In-surance (EI) program is designed to provide temporary income sup-port to replace lost em-ployment income while claimants are looking for work.

It is not meant to be an income supplement if people choose not to work nor a business model. Our govern-

ment is overhauling how Canadians collect employment insurance by encouraging fre-quent users to stop de-pending on the program as a yearly source of income and requiring those who rarely use it to look more broadly for jobs when they do collect EI.

Employment insur-ance will very much be there for people who cannot find a job within their qualifications and within their region.

There are, however, as we know, growing labour shortages in this country and we want to take every effort we can to ensure people can find jobs. Accord-ing to Statistics Cana-

da’s job vacancy sur-vey, in the fall of last year, there were ap-proximately 250,000 unfilled jobs across Canada.

Your government is creating three different types of EI recipients including frequent us-ers, occasional claim-ants and long-tenured workers.

Frequent claimants – those who used EI at least three times for a total of 60 weeks in five years – will be giv-en six weeks to look for work in their field. After this window clos-es, applicants will be expected to find anoth-er job they are qualified for that pays at least 70 per cent of their previ-

ous salary. The opposi-tion contended the gov-ernment’s new rules targets people who commonly use EI like seasonal and contract workers. Our objective is to match people with jobs. We want to make sure we have a system in place that will allow people to get work they’re qualified for in their area.

The new rules will mean less generous handouts for those fre-quent abusers while giving hard-working Canadians, who rarely use the program, more leeway to look for jobs in their field. Canadi-ans on EI will receive more information about jobs in their area.

Kelly and Blu Hop-kins will perform at Gospel Song Sorrento, a benefit for the area’s food bank. This is the fifth year for this event, at the Sorrento Retreat and Conference Centre.

The concert is sched-uled for Saturday, July 14 at 1159 Passchen-daele Rd.

Admission is by generous monetary or non-perishable food donation. Music begins at 7 p.m.

The Sorrento Food Bank serves Balmoral, Blind Bay, Eagle Bay, Notch Hill, White Lake and Sorrento areas.

Once again, sing-ing host Duane Stewart has gathered Shuswap-

Okanagan folk, country and bluegrass artists to provide two hours of gospel and other inspi-rational music.

Featured performers are Blu and Kelly Hop-kins, Tracy Jones, Larry and Jane Stephenson, Lloyd Pulliam, Vicki Wiebe, John Derksen, Jim Jamieson and Di-ane Jewel.

The venue is an on-site kekuli, a wheel-chair accessible tradi-tional Shuswap Nation winter structure, with

sides open to the sum-mer breezes but with a dome protecting you from rain.

Because of the grow-ing numbers who have attended in the first four years of the event, peo-ple are advised to arrive early to find seats in the kekuli.

Surrounding lawns provide overflow spaces for enjoying the music from your lawn chair or blanket. In the event of bad weather, an indoor venue is available on

site. There will be a 15-minute intermission midway through the show.

The Kinghorn Cap-pucino Bar will be open.

For additional infor-mation, call Lyn Stew-art at 250-675- 4431.

awareness, appreciation and celebration of life’s underlying oneness, an idea that all of life is connected, in the same way that Earth Day is intended to inspire awareness, appreciation and celebration of the Earth’s natural environ-ment.

Global Oneness Day encourages people to bring oneness into their lives in practical ways, not just conceptually.

Oneness is more than a beautiful word. Sci-ence shows it is the true human nature – that life is a unified whole with multiple dimensions, each complementing the other.

Beyond that, oneness is the key to peace.

“Peace efforts will continue to fail until people embrace human-ity’s oneness,” veteran U.N. envoy Anwarul K. Chowdhury, the leading emissary of the U.N. Culture of Peace initiative, said May 20, 2010, on receiving a worldwide appeal to the

world body to declare an annual Global One-ness Day recognizing humanity’s inner unity, as conceived by Hu-manity’s Team.

Layton, former country co-ordinator for Canada, and now working in world re-gions with Humanity’s Team, attended the Global Council for Hu-manity’s Team in Por-tugal.

At the May 22 con-ference, participat-ing countries explored ways to live in oneness, with each other and with other countries, so that peace on earth can prevail.

Some of the ques-tions Humanity’s Team address include what oneness feels like, what it means to live in uni-ty with each other in-stead of separation and whether oneness can change the world.

Four thousand Hu-manity’s Team mem-bers in Canada feel it can.

Business accolades dished out

They go above and beyond, and for this they are recognized.

Corryn Grayston, representing the Salm-on Arm Chamber of Commerce, and Ron Langridge, representing Salmon Arm Down-town, awarded three dif-ferent plaques Tuesday to signify the achieve-ments of businesses and individuals who help make Salmon Arm a better place.

Angel Agassiz, the Podollan Inn general manager, was nominat-ed by a multiple of peo-ple, making her an obvi-ous choice for the 2012 Excellence in Customer Service Award – an award reserved for an individual who demon-strates commitment to excellent service and is dedicated to providing high quality customer care.

A speechless Agassiz was in disbelief upon receiving the award, as tears of joy streamed down her face.

“This really means a lot,” she said as she admired the plaque pre-sented to her in honour of her achievements.

The next award to be

given out was the 2012 Business Excellence Award. This award is presented to a for-profi t business that consis-tently demonstrates a commitment to excel-lence, business growth and development. This year’s winner was Askew’s, chosen not only for being a valu-able role-model for other businesses but also for its outstanding community support.

David Askew accept-ed the award on behalf of the company, sur-rounded by his team at the downtown location.

“It is a great honour to be recognized by our peers,” said Askew.

The next stop on the award presentation tour was the Roots and Blues offi ce, where Hugo Rampen was presented the 2012 Community Booster of Excellence Award, for exceptional contributions to the city, by positively represent-ing and promoting the community through their annual event.

“It is a privilege to receive this award,” said Rampen. “A lot of stuff we do here is not just about creating a great product, but also to boost the community’s profi le.”

#David Askew, holding plaque, and Askew’s staff members are congratulated by Ron Langridge (second from left) and Corryn Grayston (third from left).

The Shuswap Mar-ket News welcomes gardening columnist Margo Westaway to our pages.

Her column will run biweekly in the Market News. Below she pro-vides a brief introduc-tion before taking on the topic of gardening in our current rainy weather.

Greetings all fellow and future gardeners!

I live in Sicamous where, over the past 13 years, I have been busy creating multiple gar-dens and landscaping with rocks and cedar rail fences, honouring my island roots.

Basically – and probably like most of us gardeners – I have been flying by the seat of my pants and learn-ing as I go, but last October I was lucky enough to take a six-week Master Organic Gardener – Working With Nature course, offered through the Gaia College on Van-couver Island. Now let’s be clear about this – I “took” the course, which doesn’t grant me the lofty title of “a” master organic gar-dener. There are plenty of you out there with a wealth of experience and knowledge that I don’t have and prob-ably never will. We

did, however, cover many topics and stud-ied the latest and best organic practices, with the emphasis on soil ecology and microbes and how that translates to healthy plants and good water manage-ment practices.

By learning and un-derstanding how nature works in the garden, we can completely elimi-nate the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and herbicides, creating a healthier environment for ourselves and other precious and important life forms that dwell within our landscapes.

“In order to see a rainbow, you have to stand a little rain.”

That’s true, but if you’ve lost tourist or business dollars, got flooded out, or had to cancel a special out-door event, rain can be an element of na-ture we don’t always want or appreciate. I grew up near Grouse Mountain in Vancou-ver, where it could rain for weeks on end, but my mom would always say that if it wasn’t for the rain, we’d be liv-ing in a desert where nothing would grow, so be thankful for it. But with the rains we’ve been having lately, I don’t see anybody out there singing in it!

We have so many ways of describing rain-fall: precipitation, the heavens have opened up, pounding, punish-ing, driving, torrential, pelting, a downpour, a cloudburst, raining buckets or cats and dogs, a deluge, a west-coaster and a soaker rain. Then there are

showers, intermittent rains, sprinkling, spit-ting, drizzling and a misty rain. We also have a couple of de-scriptive expressions for the wet stuff, but they so far remain unprint-able. When it’s pouring rain, we grumble under our breaths and mutter that it’s crappy out and only good weather for ducks! But such is the nature of rain.

Rain can truly wreak havoc on our land-scapes. It can come down like a million wa-tery missiles, hitting the ground at speeds of up to 25 mph – THWACK! The impact can create big craters on an unpro-tected soil surface and the precious topsoil can be washed away, es-pecially if your garden is on a slope. The life forms and plants can easily be damaged or killed, so it’s really im-portant to protect all of this with a good mulch or living ground cover.

Last year I mulched my gardens with solid shredded leaves, which turned out not to be the greatest, because the water couldn’t al-ways penetrate through it. This year I took the time to make a great mulch cover, which consisted of half par-tially composted wood chips – to allow the air and water through, a quarter shredded leaves from last fall and the rest fresh grass clip-pings. (My cement mixer is good for this job or also in the large bucket of the power wagon.) This will pro-vide a great balance of carbon and nitro-gen and it’s rich and healthy looking.

Someone sent me a link on a fellow in Or-egon who has started a garden movement called Back to Eden (Google the video). He has a very poor source of water for his giant garden and fruit trees, but he uses a good mulch cover every year, and he never has to water – ever. There was a gal in my Gaia class that was taking this big course because she and her husband had just bought a prop-erty in town that was chock-a-block full of gardens, but the pre-vious owner’s water bills were a couple of thousand dollars a year and she wanted to learn better ways of main-taining, growing and watering them in order to reduce the bills. She was elated and relieved to learn that the solu-tion was to simply cov-er her gardens with a healthy organic mulch which would then trap the moisture, protect her soil surface, reduce the weeds, build up the underlying soil, pro-vide good slow-release nutrients and provide food for her worms and microbes.

The rain can be a pain, but the silver lin-ing is that it’s chlorine free and our nifty new smart meters aren’t

counting the energy it’scosting you to use thewater pump. Best of all,we don’t have to spenda bunch of time water-ing!

Rain rarely stops me from going out and working in the yardbecause I just protect myself from it with a good waterproof cover.The same goes for our gardens. Just protect it, so you don’t have tosweat it.

Options available for used oilThey are cleaning

up our planet one drop at a time.

The British Colum-bia Used Oil Manage-ment Association has sent out their ambassa-dors again this year, to spread the word on the hazards of dumping oil and what other options are available.

Ali Omelaniec and Emily Louie are travel-ing British Columbia, attending numerous events in hopes of ed-ucating the public on how they can recycle their used oil, antifreeze and even oil filters, free of charge.

They are also stop-ping off at each of the 520 recycling facilities throughout B.C. to hear feedback, answer ques-tions, and find ways in which they can make their program even eas-ier for both the facilities and the public.

While things seem to be running smoothly, one issue that Salmon Arm Kal Tire is run-ning into is nighttime drop-offs.

People will come when the shop is closed and leave their buckets of oil sitting outside. The problem with this is that if the bucket leaks or gets knocked over during the night, it creates a huge mess.

This, according to Omelaniec, is a concern for many facilities.

“We want to make sure that the program

doesn’t cause any prob-lems for our collections facilities. Issues like these can discourage them, and cause them to back out of the pro-gram,” says Omela-niec.

“We are working on finding ways to fix this problem.”

One way to deter nighttime drop-offs, ac-cording to Omelaniec, is to remind the public of the hours of opera-tion.

“Most garages that operate our program are open on Saturdays,” says Omelaniec. Many are also open until 6 p.m..

The two ambassa-dors will also be speak-ing to government offi-cials later this month.

Omelaniec and Lou-ie just began their trav-els in May and both are from Metro Vancouver. The ambassador pro-

gram not only allows them to spread the word on how people can save the planet but also gives them a chance to see small communities as well as larger cities.

Since the associa-tion was formed, there has been a 73 per cent recovery rate, and the organization is aiming even higher.

The program is ac-tively trying to make recycling easier for the public, creating more ‘one-stop-shops’ where possible.

Any business inter-ested in becoming a re-cycling facility can do so by visiting the web-site at www.usedoilre-cycling.com or by call-ing 604-703-1990.

Businesses will be responsible for col-lecting used oil and/or antifreeze and filters,

and pick-up will be ar-ranged as often as seen necessary. All busi-nesses will be given a payment for every litre of oil collected, as well as antifreeze and oil fil-ters.

A cell phone ap-plication has also been made available called BC Recyclopedia which allows users to find the recycling depot nearest them.

# BC Used Oil Management Association ambassadors Ali Omelaniec and Emily Louie offer their support to Kal Tire manager Dan Caterer in Salmon Arm. Kal Tire is just one of the many used oil recycling facilities they will be visiting throughout the summer.

Congratulations are in order for not only the players and coaches of our two Shuswap FC Select teams who will be representing the Thompson Okanagan region in the upcoming provincial champion-ships, but all eight of our Shuswap FC Select teams who made us proud as young ambas-sadors for our Shuswap region.

The U16 Boys team coached by David Knight overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit in last Saturday’s semifinal and stormed back with four second-half goals to beat Vernon 4-1 and advance to last Sun-day’s final against arch rival Kelowna. The fi-nal was played with tight checking and fierce intensity as nei-ther squad could find the back of the net in regulation or 20 min-utes of overtime. This set up a nerve-racking shootout to decide the regional berth in the Provincials.

Morgan Crandlemire stopped the first Kel-owna shooter while all of the first three Shus-wap boys scored with their shots. The third Kelowna shooter’s shot rattled off the crossbar and stayed out. When Crandlemire followed up by stopping the fourth, the Shuswap boys began to celebrate as the hard-earned berth in the Provincials was theirs.

The other Shuswap

FC team heading to the provincials is the U18 Girls coached by Ian McLellan. Even though the girls lost a hard- fought regional final to Kelowna, they still ad-vanced by virtue of an added regional berth due to Kelowna hosting the girls U18 provincial tournament.

Most years our select teams start the Thomp-son Okanagan Youth Soccer League season without having even set foot on an outdoor field before their first game, relying only on training in our indoor facility.

This is a huge disad-vantage when compet-ing against teams who have been outdoors for two to four weeks be-fore the league begins. Usually by the Select season wind-up in the middle of June, our Shuswap FC Teams are playing their best soc-cer of the season and are looking for one or more summer tourna-ments to continue play-ing in and sharpening their skills with practic-es.

Shuswap Youth Soc-cer is proud to endorse

and support three sum-mer soccer camps this July and August. Infor-mation and registration for all three camps is available on our website at www.shuswapsoccer.com and by clicking on the camps tab.

The first camp, now in its 16th season, is the “Girls Only” held at Little Mountain fields. Tricia Martin and her all-female coaching crew will host U6-U10 girls on July 9 to 13, while July 16 to 20 will be for the older U11-U14 girls.

The following week, July 23 to 27 at Black-burn Park, will be the first time for the “Euro-pean Football School” Soccer camp. This camp has the highest level certified European and Canadian coaches ever assembled at one camp in the Shuswap region. The first session of each day will be for 7- to 12- year-olds while the late morning, early after-noon session will be for 13- to 18-year-olds.

The final camp, also at Blackburn, runs Aug. 13 to 17 and will be hosted by the Vancou-

ver Whitecaps. David Broadhurst,

technical director of theWhitecaps Okanagan Academy, will be spear-heading a cast of cur-rent and former White-cap players including the always popular CarlValentine. The five days of morning sessions areopen to all children ages five to 14.

As we wind up our outdoor spring season, I would to thank allcoaches and parents fortheir understanding in the last-minute sched-ule changes we have allendured in trying tocomplete our schedulein this wettest spring in many years.

Just another reminderto all, that up-to-the-minute schedule andfield changes are avail-able on our website at www.shuswapsoccer.com

Shuswap Youth Soc-cer’s annual volunteer barbecue will be heldon Friday, July 6 at theLittle Mountain Field-house. Check your emails as invites will be sent to all of our amaz-ing SYSA volunteerswithin the next week.

Even those who strive to help others, need a little help them-selves.

Thanks to the help of the RBC Royal Bank of Canada in Salmon Arm, which donated $20,000, the Coyote Cafe will not only be back in full swing neat year, but will be expanding its reach to help even more.

The Coyote Cafe be-gan this year as a pilot program, designed to help aboriginal children from grades two to five who have trouble read-ing.

Despite being in its first year, the program was well received and is already wait-listed for next year.

The money donated by the RBC will not only help improve the program, but also ex-

pand it to include other schools in the area.

Ultimately the group would like see all the schools have the pro-gram; however this re-quires funding.

This year’s program is scheduled to start in October, after students are settled in their class-es.

Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society and the Aboriginal Edu-cation Council designed a program in which 12 students from South Broadview, Bastion and Hillcrest elementaries, gathered in the learning resource room at South Broadview every Tues-day and Thursday from October until May.

The students took part in short reading les-sons, read allowed pic-ture books, were given chances to read inde-pendently, made crafts

and had one-on-one les-sons with staff.

Each student also re-ceived a healthy snack.

Other activities in-cluded trips to the local

thrift store to buy books, giving the students a chance to start their own library.

Some of the changes envisioned include run-

ning both primary and intermediate programs, purchasing a reading as-sessment kit, and devel-oping a home reading program.

RBC boosts Coyote Cafe program

Miranda Schmold and Elena Markin are waiting at the Chase Chamber Information Centre, ready to answer visitor inquiries.

The Chase Cham-ber of Commerce Info Centre is providing current information to citizens, businesses, and visitors in the com-munity. Markin has re-cently taken over the manager’s role at the office on Shuswap Av-enue.

Racks of pamphlets and maps pertaining to Chase, the Shuswap, and other destinations in British Columbia are available.

Schmold has joined Markin in providing knowledgeable direc-tion to those looking for help.

Schmold, who grew up in Pritchard, is a law student at Thomp-son Rivers University, planning to return to her studies once again in the fall.

Another function of the Chase Cham-ber office is to provide support to member businesses in the area.

Markin said, as the operator of an online gift shop, “I understand the challenges of doing business.”

During her days off, she enjoys explor-ing the beautiful sur-roundings, trying out different activities first hand.

Markin and Schmold are eager to serve any-one requiring their information services. See the Chase Cham-ber website at: http://www.chasechamber.com. The Information Centre is open seven days per week from July thru September.

If you’re wonder-ing what happened to former manager Mal-lory Bilodeau, she is continuing her career with Western Financial

Group, just up Shus-wap Avenue from the Chamber Information Centre.

A summer program that was successful and popular in its initial of-fering in 2011, has been expanded for 2012.

It is intended to ei-ther improve students’ math skills and confi-dence, or build on ex-isting confidence and extend mathematical thinking for students desiring enrichment.

With sufficient en-rolment, the hope to offer both support and enrichment sections of Math Camp 2012, split into grades 4/5, 6/7 and 8/9.

This non-credit

program will support learners with paper-, game- and computer-based opportunities to encourage active participation while building or expanding competency in number sense, patterns and nu-meracy relationships.

The “support pro-gram” is intended for students who lack comfort when work-ing in math, and would benefit from building skills and confidence in math.

The enrichment program is for students who enjoy the subject

and are looking for new and fun extensions to topics found in the classroom.

Students who have just completed grades 4 to 9 in June, 2012 are invited to enroll.

Students need their six- or seven-digit student number from school (they usually know it as the number used as their password for the school comput-er network).

The program will start at Haldane El-ementary School on Tuesday, July 3, with 15 daily sessions, each

three hours (including 20-minute break) in length, running Mon-day through Thursday until July 26.

Sessions will be in the morning (8:30 to 11:10 a.m.) or after-noon (11:50 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.).

Registration will be through the School District 73 Summer School website: sum-merschool.sd73.bc.ca.

For information, contact Mark McVittie, numeracy co-ordinator, S.D. #73. mmcvittie@sd73.bc.ca or call 250-376-2266 Ext 269.

A hockey academy is being proposed for Chase.

At the June 12 Vil-lage of Chase meeting, a group led by Rick Pass-more made a presenta-tion regarding a Hockey Academy in Chase.

Working together with Chase Secondary, there would be oppor-tunity for high school

students to participate in an elite hockey school during regular sched-uled class time.

With numbers dwin-dling for younger teams in town, presenters said something needs to be done to provide more incentive for young people to stay and play hockey in Chase.

Young hockey play-

ers looking for more serious hockey school-ing would be drawn to a hockey academy with excellent coaching staff, and their families would be prepared to relocate for the opportu-nity. Chase Secondary would benefit with the potential for a few more students.

“The plan is win-

win-win,” said Pass-more, “good for in-creasing high school student numbers, arena use, and general activity in Chase.”

School trustee De-nise Harper was there for another program, but said a hockey acad-emy would work well with other plans in the works.

Mayor Ron Ander-son asked about pro-jected revenues and maintenance costs, and requested a formal business plan from the group.

The Chase Heat will begin a second season this fall. The boys come to play at a junior level on the road to becoming professional.

High water#Little Shuswap Lake is now flush with the Chase wharf after weeks of heavy rain.

Would a new ramp, handrails or walk-in shower help you maintain your independence at home?

BC Housing’s new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps low-income B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modifications that will allow them to continue living at home.

Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for financial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe.

The goal of the program is to enable people who have physical limitations to live at home longer. People’s physical needs change over time – sometimes, a small improvement to a home can make the difference between being able to live independently or not.

Types of eligible projects include:

andrails in hallways or stairways,

areas in the kitchen,

bars, and

The projects must be permanent and fixed to the home, although exceptions can be made for equipment that gives access to an existing part of the home (e.g. a bath lift).

is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia through the Canada-B.C. Affordable Housing Initiative. Through the HAFI

million in grants or forgivable loans will be distributed to qualifying B.C. residents over the next three years.

To qualify for assistance from HAFI, recipients must be a low-income senior or person with a disability, a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and a B.C. resident. Someone in the household must have a permanent disability or loss of ability that makes it difficult to perform

day-to-day activities. As well, the total household income and assets must be below a certain limit. BC

Housing can tell you the income and house value limits for your area when you apply.

The program is open to both homeowners and those living in market rental accommodation where rents are at the low end of market levels; landlords must

apply for improvements on behalf of eligible tenants.

application guide and application forms are available at www.bchousing.org/HAFI.

New source for treasure hunters

Recycling and downsizing is contin-ual, with a new owner happy to find that miss-ing item in a collection, discarded by the last one.

Flea markets were a bug that got to Bill Cur-rie in Calgary where he enjoyed dealing with treasure hunters and happy customers, while making a buck for himself.

Currie was ready for a change, moving clos-er to his parents in the Shuswap. He decided Chase was the spot for Bill’s Bargains.

In addition to sell-ing new and used hard-ware, hand tools, and collectibles, Currie of-fers a finding service, and will sell items on line for customers. The turnover in stock is frequent, so there is

always something dif-ferent on the shelves.

Bill’s Bargains new and used secondhand store is located at Bay #7 218 Aylmer Rd. in

Chase. Store hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tues-day to Saturday. Call Bill at 250-463-2101 or email bills-bargains@hotmail.ca.

for 5 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 certifi ed in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fi replaces.

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 fi replace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more effi ciently.

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.

Club set to sell 4-H steers# North Okanagan Beef 4-H Club members Cathleen Michaud and Tye Mitchell with their calves and the ribbons they earned at a cattle show at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds on Sunday.

ERIC REYNARD PHOTO

Members of the North Okanagan Beef 4-H Club are prepar-ing for the sale of their steers.

A number of steers are still available for purchase, and buyers can commit to pur-chase a whole steer or half. Buyers can also

share with others. All 4-H steers pro-

duce top quality, grain-fed meat that is hor-mone and antibiotic free.

The purchase is tax deductible and helps to support local young people in the region. All 4-H Beef Club

members have spent countless hours select-ing, raising, caring for and marketing their steers.

Buyers are respon-sible for the costs of butchering and pro-cessing the animal.

The steers will be auctioned at the Oka-

nagan Stock Show atthe Armstrong IPE grounds July 3 to 7.Predetermined bids canbe set if buyers cannotbe in attendance.

To arrange this, con-tact Trudy Schweb at250-832-3322 or PeterRaffan at Valley Auc-tion at 250-546-9420.
