Silver Creek school to remain open

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

The school, which now has 36 stu-dents enrolled, had been proposed for closure as part of a long-term fa-cilities plan in response to low num-bers and the need to reduce costs.

Parents and school district staff

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

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

When it came to the vote, the ma-

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

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

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

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

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

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

showing them there were other options for Silver Creek than clo-sure.

“You came with a so-lution and that is heart-warming. You showed us how the community was working together. You were not com-plaining, instead you were telling us how great it could be,” said Bobbi Johnson, board chair.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Instead, a committee will be formed to eval-uate the Montessori option at Silver Creek, and to consider con-verting the school to a K-Grade 8 model in an effort to boost enrol-ment and offer a differ-ent option to students than Shuswap Middle School. The committee is to report back in Feb. 2016.

In addition to the Silver Creek closure, trustees also dealt with four other recommen-dations from the long-term facilities plan.

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

“We know things cannot stay as they are. There is optimism that Sicamous can do any-thing, just give us some time,” said Chafe.

Trustees also unani-mously supported mo-tions to add Grade 8 to North Shuswap and Falkland schools, which are both cur-rently operating under a K-Grade 7 structure. This would save bus-

ing costs and also allow students to transition straight to high school rather than spending one year at a middle school before moving to secondary.

A proposed change to make Ranchero El-ementary a K-Grade 5 school was put on

hold, and any changes will be reconsidered for 2016 and beyond as part of the Enderby-area recommendations.

“We need to do some more work on Ranche-ro, so I think the best thing is to keep it K-7 for September,” said Johnson.

Board considers K-12 for SicamousContinued from front

n Kristy Clark and Noah Ralston, representing the Silver Creek PAC, encourage the school board trustees to keep the school open.

Dry conditions, high temperatures, low hu-midity and the possibil-ity of dry lightning – extreme fire conditions and a recipe for wildfire starts.

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

And an upper low-pressure area from Or-egon had been expected to meet an upper high from the northeastern part of the province, with the possibility of dry lightning and thun-derstorms through Thursday.

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

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

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

Under this prohibi-tion, members of the

public will not be al-lowed to: burn waste, slash or other material; burn stubble or grass or use fireworks or burn-ing barrels.

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

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

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

The fire is under in-vestigation.

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

“When they hap-pened, it was just the start of the drying

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

Campfires will still be permitted at this time, but must be no larger than one-half metre by one-half me-tre and must be for rec-reational use only or by a First Nation for a cer-emonial purpose.

Winter says the Wild-fire Protection Branch is also advising resi-dents to clear out all brush from their prop-erties.

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

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

A safer option is to buy a propane camp-fire.

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

they age.“You still have to be

careful where you put them,” he says, not-ing the Forest Protec-tion Branch is anxious to get the word out on the fire prohibition as soon as possible. “The long weekend in May is when people come to the Shuswap, open their cabins and camp, and the first thing they want is a campfire.”

Brush fireThe Salmon Arm Fire

Department was alerted to a fire in a heavily for-ested section of a prop-erty at 2101 28th St. NE Tuesday morning.

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

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

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

Firefighters extin-guished the fire that grew to 15 metres by 10 metres in size.

All about the ShuswapThe Shuswap draws

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

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

President of the Shuswap Environ-mental Action society (SEAS), a historian and columnist, Cooper-man’s love for the Shuswap is evidenced by his actions on the region’s behalf.

Based on the prin-ciple of bioregionalism that fosters a sense of place, Everything Shus-wap’s overall view-point is that the Shus-wap is the best place in which to live.

Cooperman says the book is designed to

support education with a focus on facts.

Project goals in-clude:

• to provide accurate geographical knowl-edge;

• improve geographi-cal literacy;

• foster greater ap-preciation and respect;

• help raise the pro-file of the Shuswap;

• Encourage tourism and settlement and

• raise funds to sup-port volume two.

After taking the reader on a tour of the watershed, the first volume addresses the geology and ecology of the Shuswap, fol-lowed by a look at the Secwepemc First Na-tion and the history of settlement.

Volume two will ex-amine Shuswap com-munities, the economy and arts and culture.

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

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

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

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

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

School District #83 trustees have since giv-en Everything Shuswap their blessing.

“The school district is excited about the op-

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

Cooperman is very pleased with the school board support and says many teachers have expressed excitement at the prospect of up-to-date, relevant infor-mation for their class-rooms.

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

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

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

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

The stumbling block is the issue of boat trail-er access to the lake, says Hearn.

“There is no dis-agreement about the need and desirabil-ity of public access; there’s only disagree-ment about whether a trailer needs to enter the lake,” he says. “The group identified three accesses – Musgrave Road, Teal Road and the beach at the com-munity park.”

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

as a boat launch for 40 years.

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

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

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

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

Hearn points out the park has been well-managed by local resi-dents for the past 25 years.

He estimates that

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

Although he un-derstands why fishing groups want easier ac-cess to the lake, he says the recent prohibition of gas-powered boats on the lake could signifi-cantly alter the profile of lake users, and that one of the accepted goals is to collect baseline rec-reational data about the uses of the lake.

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

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

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

In last week’s column, I suggested the trick to wad-ing in fast flowing waters is having an understanding of what you’re up against be-fore venturing out.

Simply stated, I suggested that being able to keep one’s balance is of utmost impor-tance, and that an angler needs to take into consider-ation a number of scientific factors such as: current di-rection, the amount of water pressure exerted by the cur-rent, water depth and tem-perature, and the amount of algae and subaquatic plant life on the rocks and gravel on the bottom of the stream – not to mention one’s phys-ical height, weight, strength and stamina – all in order to successfully gain access to the other side.

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

a store-bought wading staff at home or in the vehicle, and lean towards the branch-style of wading staff.

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

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

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

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

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

rod is one thing, a sprained or broken ankle is another. Not to mention the fact the current can carry you into a very dangerous and/or life-threatening situation in a matter of seconds. I would never even consider cross-ing a fast-flowing stream by myself.

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

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

OPINION

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

Good gear for crossing perilous waters

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

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

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

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

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

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

The democratic process is alive and well.The talking heads are still analyzing the results.

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

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

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

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

Alberta survives bloodless coup


With balsamroot sun-flowers now blooming on hillsides throughout the Shuswap, it is a good time to reflect on the use of these plants and others by the Sec-wepemc people for food, medicine, tech-nology and ceremonies. The number of plant species utilized is esti-mated to be more than 135, and these plants probably accounted for well over half of First Nations’ nutritional needs. Anecdotal evi-dence also points to the exceptional health ben-efits of diets that includ-ed native plants.

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

made into cakes with dried berries.

Springtime was a spe-cial season for the Sec-wepemc people as they emerged from their pit houses and were able to enjoy fresh, green wild produce. A favourite springtime food was bare-stem desert pars-ley, which Mary called wild celery. The stem of the bloom was peeled and eaten fresh. The roots of a similar plant, the large-fruited desert parsley, were also har-vested in the spring. Called qweqw’ila, these carrot-like roots have a strong peppery taste and were eaten raw, boiled, or dried for winter use. The plant also has me-dicinal value, as an infu-sion was made to treat heart problems.

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

The corms or bulbo-tuber of the western spring beauty were often referred to as “mountain potato.” These plants grow at mid to high elevations and the leaves, which are high in vitamins A

and D, were also eaten. Known as skwakwina in the eastern dialect, the “potatoes” were stored in pits for the winter. Often the small-er corns were re-planted to ensure ongoing sus-tainable harvests.

Entire communities often camped at the gathering locations for days or weeks where designated elders di-rected the harvesting. Digging sticks called pétse, shaped like a cap-ital T, were made from Saskatoon or black hawthorn wood with antler or birch handles, sharpened to a point and hardened by fire. Use of these sticks al-lowed the plant to keep growing rather than the use of a shovel-like tool that could dig up and destroy the entire plant.

Berries are another important staple food for indigenous people and the most important type for the Secwepemc is the Saskatoon or ser-viceberry. Some 20 types of berries were utilized, including thimbleberries, blueber-ries, soapberries, huck-leberries and cranber-ries. The Secwepemc sustainably managed their land base by pe-riodically burning ar-eas to encourage the growth of berry plants. This “speming” method also pruned the shrubs, thus encouraging new growth and more ber-ries in subsequent years.

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

Two key principles are followed, respect for nature and respect and caring for each other. In the past, special songs were sung as they pre-pared to begin harvest-ing and often an offer-ing was made of Indian tobacco, kinnikinnick, or some of the first harvest was scattered nearby. Another tradi-tion was to share the first harvest with others in the community.

One of the key mes-sages that Dr. Mary Thomas delivered in her many lectures was how many of the tradi-tional native foods are disappearing, due to in-dustrial scale resource use. Cattle overgrazing, clearcut logging, road building, silviculture practices and the spread of invasive species have all taken their toll on these wild plants and the fish and game that once completely sus-tained the Secwepemc people.

There is not space here to adequately tell the story, as there are so many other key plant foods and medicines, including young sting-ing nettle leaves, the in-ner cambium bark layer of numerous trees, black tree lichen, mush-rooms and devil’s club, which was used to treat more than 30 different ailments.

It would take a book to sufficiently describe all the uses of native plants by the Sec-wepemc and, fortunate-ly, there is one in the works by UVic ethno-botanist Nancy Turner and SFU anthropologist Marianne Ignace.

Water damage at Sunnybrae Commu-nity Hall will be ad-dressed, thanks to a $6,896 grant in aid from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

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

The damage is un-derneath the floor, which will require some demolition in or-der to reach and com-plete structural repairs.

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

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

Murray-Kieken says membership in the as-sociation has grown to about 75, many of whom are committed to the hall and the com-munity.

“We still have Chris Clark on the board and he was here when the addition was built in the 1970s,” she says. “He’s an indication of how committed people are to this hall;

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

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

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

“The coffeehouse is a major donor and they support and help us with the fundraising,” says Murray-Kieken, who is serving her sec-ond term as president. “They pay good rent and they have been a major supporter of the association for more than two decades.”

The Sunnybrae Community Asso-ciation holds four big events a year to raise funds for the hall – a cabaret, plant and book sale, Halloween fireworks in partner-ship with the Tappen-Sunnybrae Fire De-partment and, new this year, a Family Day on Aug. 8 that will fea-ture, games, a barbe-cue and live entertain-ment.

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

year, which, for a little place like us, is really great,” she said, noting the association needs $30,000 to install a permanent roof over the outside patio area. “The Halloween fire-works have been huge, with 300 people com-ing out last year.”

Murray-Kieken says a weekly yoga pro-gram is a big success.

The hall is popular for weddings, family

reunions and more be-cause of its amenities and the location across from Sunnybrae Park and the beach.

“We’re constant-ly looking for more things to do to support the community and make it the wonderful

place that it is,” says Murray-Kieken.

“Living in Sunny-brae is a blessing,”

It is exactly what is means, sunny, and the community asso-ciation is a wonderful group of very hard-working people.”

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

It is a new journey in life, and one that can be fun and rewarding too. You’ve earned it! Consider the re-sponsibilities and costs associated with being a homeowner. Now con-sider the freedom from house and yard work!! Consider the silence and isolation of living alone; now think about the bustle that goes on in group living and involvement in new activities. It’s more than just bingo!

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

else to make the choice for you. Retirement living is not necessarily a ‘care home’ environment.

This type of a lifestyle leaves you more time to manage any medi-cal issues you may have, takes you out of the kitchen and ensures that shopping is something you do for fun now! You can still go out to visit friends, you can still volun-teer and be a part of all the service groups you were involved in before. In some places, you can still own a pet!

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

relax in your room; new friends can be made at any age.

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

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

Make the most of your coming years

UPDATES A L M O N A R M

Successful events provide spin-offfor school lunch program & parkThe members of the Salmon Arm

Rotary Club (aka as “the lunch club”) have been very busy the last few months raising money for local projects. Two successful fundraisers were held, with the proceeds used to support club projects including the elementary school lunch program, youth exchange and a new picnic shelter for Blackburn Park.

Wine FestivalOur annual Shuswap Wine Festival

was a great success, with over 400 people attending, sampling 80 different wines from 19 British Columbia wineries. The wines were complemented by chocolates, cheeses, and savories supplied by sponsors throughout the Okanagan Valley, as well as a marvellous wide assortment of appetizers.

Thanks to people in the community who bought tickets and to our 20 local sponsors who supported the ticket sales drive, we were able to raise $9,000.

Shopping SpreeThe Club sold tickets to a shopping

spree at Askew’s Foods throughout October and November. A second prize was a $250 gas card from theCo-op Gas Bar.

The Shopping Spree ticket draw was held at 5:00pm November 30 at Uptown Askews. The winner of the shopping spree was Pat Timpany of Salmon Arm. The winner of the $250 gas card was Lindsay Quintal.

Mr. and Mrs. Timpany had their shopping spree at the downtown Askew’s Foods location at 7:30am Saturday, December 5. They were ably assisted by Rotarian Dan Hudson, who made a fantastic run around the store and totted up $1,595 in groceries

for them. A BIG THANK-YOU to all of you who purchased tickets. Approximately $5,800 was raised.

In the New YearRotarians will get an early start at the

31st annual Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet - the BBQ gets fired up at around 4AM so that our renowned Beef-on-a-Bun is ready for the over 500 participants and volunteers by 10AM, January 17th.

We have some other great events planned over the next few months including a “Dram Good Evening”

scotch tasting and dinner event, Sunday, January 25th, 5PM at The Wicked Spoon. Limited tickets are available.

Also in the works is a vocational information event in partnership with Okanagan College. This free event will offer one-on-one advice to individuals interested in entering different fields of work. It will be a chance about education requirements and what to expect on the job. Stay tuned for details at www.salmonarmrotary.org.

Youth ExchangeThis year’s Inbound Youth Exchange students are – Gustavo “Fred” Marques and Fernando de Castro, both from Brazil. Both are 17 years old and attending Salmon Arm Secondary School. Fred is sponsored by the Salmon Arm Rotary Club and Fernando by the Shuswap Rotary Club.

Outbound Youth Exchange interviews are held each year in September. More info @ www.rotary.org or email Warne Lynd at [email protected] Gustavo “Fred” Marques

What does Shuswap Ro-tary do?

When we talk to people about Shuswap Rotary, of-ten they ask, “What does Rotary do, anyway?” Ro-tary is a fun group of lead-ership-oriented people that do projects to make the world better. Every Rotary Club gives back in their community - both international programs and local programs. Most often people are interest-ed in what we do in our local community.

Our club, Shuswap Ro-tary, is one of three clubs in Salmon Arm. We are involved with a lot of dif-ferent local projects, both through fundraising and support of other groups, and through our own projects.

In early March, we had our book sale fundraiser at Picadilly Mall for our Books for Babies pro-gram. March is Rotary Literacy Month. Enough money was raised from our book sale on March 13 and 14 to purchase 91 board books for new-borns at Shuswap Hospi-tal. The maternity nurses were pleased to receive the books, and look for-ward to giving them to new parents and their ba-bies.

We provide � nancial support for food pro-grams for children in four local schools, Salmon Arm West Elementary, South Broadview Elementary, Ranchero Elementary and

A.L. Fortune Secondary School. We help children learn better by making sure they aren’t hungry.

One of our spring projects is to do a yard clean up for a senior in the community. In early April, a team of about 12 people spent about two hours working on yard clean up for a person who still lives in her own home but can’t take care of her yard. This was followed by dinner at a local res-taurant.

Our club helped the Shuswap Hospital Soci-ety with their 2nd Annual Teddy Bear Hospital & Health Fair that was held May 2nd from 11 am to 3 pm outside of Save On Foods in the Piccadilly Mall parking lot. Our

club members served food at the event.

Shuswap Rotary sup-ports Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap through sponsoring a Gold Level Spelling Bee Team, The Mad Hatters, who won the prize for “Most Enthu-siastic Team” at this year’s spelling bee. We are hap-py to support this group that does so much for lit-eracy in our community.

Our club has a program that provides low income and disabled people with an annual bus pass for only $10. We have pro-vided annual bus passes for over sixty people. If you think you may qual-ify, contact Bill Sauer at 250-832-1962.

The Shuswap Rotary club recently purchased 3 Fitness X5 Stationary bikes for Ranchero Elementary School for their Self Regu-lation program. These quiet bikes, designed spe-ci� cally for children, help to teach the children they have the power to calm themselves down while pedalling. As well, rid-ing the bike sparks up the brain so that the child is calm, alert and ready to learn.

Shuswap Rotary spon-

sors exchange students every year. We are cur-rently hosting student Fernando Del Castro from Brazil. We also have a local Salmon Arm Stu-dent, Maddi Genn, who is currently on exchange in Brazil. Having youth learn about other cultures supports a major Rotary goal of promoting peace in the world.

About once a month we have a social evening – time to just get together and have fun – recently we went bowling and we have plans for golf, barbe-cues and hikes this spring.

Our main annual fund-raiser is our Rotary Auc-tion, which is on Novem-ber 14 this year. We have a lot of fun with dinner, entertainment, a live auc-tion, silent auction and door prize draws.

If you’re interested in � nding out more about us, we meet every Tues-day at 6:00 at the Prestige Inn. Just show up then, or call our president Rob McKibbon, at 250-804-6288, and tell him you’re interested in Rotary and would like to visit a meet-ing. We’d love to tell you more about our club.

Shelves grow baren Second Harvest Food Bank volunteers Lorraine Ellens, Cindy Hopkins and Ingrid Zechel sort out vegetables for distribution. The shelves are bereft of inventory, and staff are appealing to the community for donations of food (not expired) and/or money, which is used to buy fresh produce and other products required to provide healthy food options for those who utilize the food bank. In particular, Second Harvest is really low on non-perishable items such as macaroni and cheese, soups and toilet paper. Also appreciated would be any rhubarb that anyone is willing to donate. For more information, people are asked to call 250-833-4011.

Many of us are gift-ed at avoiding physical activity.

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

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

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

In general, Canadi-ans do not get enough exercise. In fact, Can-ada has recently pub-lished activity guide-lines for every age group.

For children, the competing interest is

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

Despite knowing that regular exercise is the best way to stay healthy and avoid chronic disease, ex-cuses come easily: We don’t have time. We are too tired. The weather is not perfect.

May is a great month to start an exercise pro-gram, as the weather is nice but not scorch-ing, the days are long And it is Bike to Work Month!

So what are the min-imum guidelines for physical activity?

Toddlers and pre-schoolers: Three hours at any intensity throughout the day. This includes play-ing outside, crawling, walking, dancing, and swimming. Activity builds healthy hearts and muscles, improves coordination and learn-ing and develops self-confidence. For chil-dren under two, zero screen time is recom-mended. For 2-4 year olds, less than one hour per day is recommend-ed.

Children and teenag-ers: Sixty minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity daily, with ac-tivities that strengthen muscles and bones at least three days a week. This could include playing in the play-

ground, riding a bike, swimming and play-ing sports. Exercise is important to main-tain health and fitness, school performance, maintaining a positive body image and self-confidence and feel-ing happy. Screen time should be limited to no more than two hours per day.

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

ing activities at least two days a week.

In adults, regular ac-tivity can reduce risk of chronic disease, improve bone density and mobility, main-tain independence and improve our mental health.

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

SPORTSRun batter runn Griffin Wilchuk goes for a base hit in response to a hit from pitcher Dan Deglan during a Salmon Arm versus Kamloops contest in Bantam action.

CHERYL PETERSON/PROMISE PHOTOGRAPHY

Salmon Arm Second-ary’s Junior Boys Rug-by team defeated Ver-non Secondary School 27 to 10 last Friday.

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

VSS opened the scoring with a lot of pressure to score seven minutes into the match. SAS countered with a strong run through the VSS team by Ry-der Fortes to pass the ball backward to Noah Dies, to put the ball

over the try line. Alex Muir scored 10 min-utes later with an in-spiring run from Eric ‘the’ Bruce.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Canadian Cancer Society’s continued impact in the � ght against all cancers would not be possible without the generosity of our volunteers, donors and community partners in Salmon Arm, Sorrento and Blind Bay.

We are very grateful for your support and wish to thank you for joining us. Together, we can change cancer forever.Sincerely,Terry JobeSalmon Arm Unit PresidentCanadian Cancer Society, Southern Interior Region

Soccer Saturdayn Parents, players, coaches and more fill the field at the Jackson campus of Salmon Arm Second-ary for Saturday soccer games, May 9 – just one field of several hosting games.

CHERYL PETERSON/PROMISE PHOTOGRAPHY

Outlaws pull out a win over MonasheesIn the North Okana-

gan Soccer League’s Men’s soccer on May 6, the Salmon Arm Outlaws took on the Vernon Monashees in their first away game of the year.

The first part of the game was controlled by Monashees with nice passing in the middle of the field, but a mistake on the back line gave Outlaw striker Sergei Demens a chance to take a nice shot to the bottom cor-ner of the net.

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

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

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

With just 10 minutes left in the game, De-mens beat the Mona-shees’ defender and got his second goal of the game.

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

As promised in the 2013 speech from the throne, our government has introduced legisla-tion to make sure a life sentence means a life sentence, for those who commit the most hei-nous crimes.

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

A life sentence under this act would be ap-plied to premeditated murder involving sexu-al assault; a kidnapping-related offence; a terror-ism-related offence; the killing of police officers or corrections officers; or conduct of a particu-larly brutal nature.

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

der case or in cases where an offender, pre-viously convicted of murder or of an inter-national killing under the Crimes Against Hu-manity and War Crimes Act, commits a second degree murder.

Eliminating parole eligibility would elimi-nate the trauma that parole hearings cause to the families and loved ones of their victims. To address constitu-tional concerns, this legislation will permit a criminal serving life without parole to apply to the Minister of Public Safety for exceptional release after serving no less than 35 years.

The proposed legis-lation on life sentences without parole would align Canada’s crimi-nal justice approach with likeminded coun-tries such as the United Kingdom, New Zea-land, the U.S. and Aus-tralia.

My Private Member’s Bill, C-587, which I ta-bled four months ago, is aimed at establishing similar ineligibility for those convicted of the most heinous murders. The Government’s Life Means Life Act will ful-fill the objective of my bill and I will let C-587 die on the order paper to allow the government’s bill to be completed as soon as possible before the coming election.

Nelson Leon, former Chief of Adams Lake Indian Band, Sec-wepemc Nation, today announced his candi-dacy for the position of regional chief of the BC Assembly of First Nations.

“The regional chief needs to be the cata-lyst for advancing the recognition and imple-mentation of aboriginal title and rights inclu-sive of treaty rights on the ground,” Leon stat-ed in a news release. “The recent Tsilhqot’in decision declaring ab-original title, the Mount Polly disaster and the accelerated rate of re-source development make it imperative that

First Nations take a lead role in decision making of land based activities.

“Not only is our way of life affected but also the quality of our life, and what we have to pass on to our chil-dren.”

Nelson Leon served 16 years as an elected official in his commu-nity, the last nine as chief. During his term as chief he was also a board member of the BC Assembly of First Nations, and the presi-dent of the First Na-tions Energy and Min-ing Council. He also served on the All Na-tions Trust as a board member, advancing the development of First

Nations financial in-stitute and aboriginal business.

For seven years con-currently he owned and operated a silviculture business and was the

program manager for the Shuswap Training and Employment Pro-gram, providing train-ing and employment opportunity for First Nations.

“The passive role that both the federal and provincial govern-ment take in address-ing the reconciliation of aboriginal issues is unacceptable – it is a delay tactic that sees both governments ben-efit at the expense of

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

Community Ser-vices team leader Ryan Nitchie advised directors at the April

23 board meeting that the Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations requires a board resolu-tion in order to amend the terms of the Crown grant to allow the re-gional district to con-struct a trailhead park-ing lot for the Evelyn Falls Trail System on the property.

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

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

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

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

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

Directors agreed and the motion passed unanimously.

First Nation commu-nities and the lives of First Nation people of B.C.,” he said. “Social indicators such as aca-demic achievement, state of health, unem-ployment rates and annual income paint a clear picture of social

injustice maintained by both governments.

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

Leon’s focus as B.C. Regional Chief would include:

• Advancement of Declarations of Ab-original Title through-out B.C.; • Improved government-to-gov-ernment relationship; • Creating economic certainty for First Na-tions; • Promotion of aboriginal business and

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

Leon concluded by saying, “I’m asking the First Nation leadership of B.C. for the oppor-tunity to use my lead-ership experience and commitment to im-proving the quality of life for all our people.”

Shopping locally employs your neighbors, reducing their carbon footprints as well. Another bene� t to shopping locally that’s often overlooked is the impact it can have on your neighbors’ carbon footprint. Local businesses often employ members of the community, which translates to shorter commutes, less highway congestion and less fuel consumption. So while shopping locally reduces your carbon footprint, it’s also helping members of your community reduce their own potentially negative impact on the environment.

A graveside memorial service for Hama Nakagawa Deguchi will be held Saturday May 16, 2015, at Mount Ida Cemetery. Hama was welcomed into the presence of her Lord on October 31, 2014, at the age of 96.

Hama was the oldest of 8 children. She taught primary school for 22 years, most of it in the Salmon Arm area. She retired early and moved to Abbotsford in 1984 to care for her mother and continued to share her teaching gift byvolunteering. Her passion was to see each of her students excel.

Hama was predeceased by her son, Herb, and bysiblings Marjorie, May, Mike, Ardith, and Harry. Sheis survived by daughter Valerie (& Malcolm Brewer),sisters Kay and Audrey, three grandchildren, onegreat-grandchild, and many nieces and nephews

Break ground with the right tools

The right tools for the job can be the dif-ference between an in-terminable landscap-ing project and one that goes smoothly and ef� ciently. Aspir-ing landscapers prob-ably have a few shovels and rakes hanging in their garages and sheds for basic landscaping work. But while such tools are effective for certain projects, when it comes to churning soil for garden beds or digging holes for outdoor structures, additional tools come in handy. It may be well worth a trip to a nearby home center to purchase or rent one of these tools ideal for breaking ground.

RototillerA rototiller, some-

times called just a “tiller,” is a powered garden tool designed to loosen soil prior to planting. A rototiller also can help aerate soil during the grow-ing season. Because they reduce the need for manual spade dig-ging or hoeing, tillers can be useful land-scaping tools, particu-larly for homeowners who want to work ef-� ciently.

Rototillers will break through tough soil and any plant roots. They come in a variety of sizes, and it’s best to match the tool to the size of the job. Many homeown-ers can get by with smaller, less powerful models, especially if the tiller is only neces-sary at the beginning of planting season. Professional landscap-ers or those with large swatches of property may bene� t from larg-er models.

AugerAugers, both me-

chanical and manual, are essentially large drill bits that help move materials from one location to anoth-er. Augers are typically

used to cut holes in landscapes, and they are good for post-hole drilling, which is part of the process of in-stalling deck footings, fencing posts or other structures. Augers come in a variety of sizes, and homeowners can choose how much power they prefer. Augers can be heavy and cumbersome, and many do-it-yourselfers will � nd that one-per-son augers are more than adequate for their projects.

Augers dig deep holes, so it is always smart to have the property surveyed prior to use. This way pipes, gas lines, bur-ied electrical lines, and any other obstructions are clearly identi� ed prior to drilling.

CultivatorCultivators are simi-

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

Cultivators come in hand-held versions and push models, and some are even motor-ized. Cultivators get close to plants to re-move weeds without disturbing the plant. They also are used to stir in compost or fer-tilizer.

While many people think cultivators and tillers are the same, that is not the case. The former is less pow-erful and will mix the soil or stir up the top layer, while the latter can break up moder-ately hard ground and loosen � rm soil.

When using any tools around the gar-den, wear the proper protection. This in-cludes devices to pro-tect hearing when power tools are in use as well as gloves and safety goggles. Tillers, augers and cultivators have the potential to toss soil and rocks into the air, so make sure others keep their dis-tance while work is in progress.
