Shuswap residents should not feel power-less when it comes to pulling the plug on smart meters.

So says District of Si-camous Coun. Don Richardson who, with council, agreed to draft a letter to BC Hydro calling for a moratorium on the controversial wireless devices.

“I don’t advocate civil disobedience, but cer-tainly, as Canadians, or British Columbians, we need to test even those that have authority,” says Richardson. “Prove to me. I want to see documentation of the fact there’s no problems with this stuff.”

Richardson has his reservations about the province’s push to in-stall smart meters. In particular, he is con-cerned with possible health issues, the risk to privacy posed by hack-ers, and the potential for time-of-use billing.

“This asset belongs to British Columbians… in that, we should be getting the best deal we can in terms of the rate,” says Richardson. “That’s what you’re saying this meter does, but I haven’t seen that so far. In talk-ing to people, their rates have gone up and they haven’t changed their lifestyle.

“I have a concern with social manipulation. I

don’t want to do my laundry at 2 o’ clock in the morning, I don’t want to have a shower at two in the morning, I want to have it at a time that fits my lifestyle.”

Richardson’s con-cerns were mirrored in a presentation prior to council’s vote for a mor-atorium by Lori On-sorge, spokesperson for

the North Okanagan/Shuswap coalition to stop smart meters.

Onsorge provided de-tails from numerous studies and documenta-tion critical of smart meters and the pulse mi-crowave radio frequency they emit when relaying information. She asked that council join the 37 other communities that have demanded a mora-torium until BC Hydro can prove smart meters are safe.

Coun. Fred Busch said it isn’t within the district’s power to tell BC Hydro to stay out, and in the meantime would have to work with the Union of BC Municipalities to make

council’s objections known.

“Initially, when I first heard about this, I thought it was just some people complaining be-cause they didn’t have anything to complain about,” said Busch. “But I think, as more and more information is coming out, especially about the privacy and the ability for others to be able to hack into my smart meter account – that certainly raises enough questions that I’m willing to get some more information and assurances that this can’t happen.”

Coun. Greg Kyllo considered the push on smart meters to be a bit suspect.

“What would be the benefit to the individual consumer or the com-munity by installing smart meters?” asked Kyllo. “They certainly aren’t talking about a reduction of rates. They’re selling power to California at a lower rate than they’re charg-ing their citizens in Brit-ish Columbia. I can’t see any reason why we’d want to support it.”

Council agreed to join other districts in submit-ting a letter to the utility supporting a moratori-um until problems iden-tified with smart meters are independently as-sessed, and an accept-able alternative can be made available at no ad-

ditional cost. In a recent presenta-

tion to Salmon Arm City Council, a BC Hydro representative said smart meters would be in-stalled in every home and business, as man-dated under the prov-ince’s Clean Air Act, even in communities where municipal coun-cil’s have demanded a moratorium.

Onsorge commended Sicamous’ council, and believes, like Richard-

son, that as more people come onboard in re-questing a moratorium, the province and the utility will have to lis-ten.

“At the Salmon Arm meeting, they encour-aged the continuation of this effort by the grass-roots because I believe they know there are se-rious issues,” said On-sorge. “And they believe that, if people take re-sponsibility, it will make a difference.”

Musician rambles into townContinued from page 4

Ryder back onboardfor Roots & Blues

Known for her pow-erful vocal range, Ser-ena Ryder has logged some serious tour miles across Canada, the U.S., Australia and Europe. And she’ll be stopping by for Roots and Blues in August.

Ryder has earned two Canadian gold records, three Juno Awards and a No. 1 holiday single for Calling To Say.

On her late-2006 de-but for EMI Music, If Your Memory Serves You Well, she covered some of Canada’s fi n-est songwriters. Ironi-cally, it was the plain-spoken heartache of Ryder’s own, entirely self-penned Weak in the Knees that propelled the record, earning her a Gold Single award.

Her follow-up record, Is It OK, is at times pal-pably sad, vulnerable and even confused, but always strikingly real and in the moment.

The album is also tough as nails where it counts – just listen to

the caustic roar Ryder brings to the standout rocker and fi rst single, Little Bit of Red.

“This whole record is about realizing that the more we think we know, the less we do know,” she insists.

“It’s about me com-ing to terms with the fact that I’m imperfect, about being comfort-able with feeling what I’m feeling and em-bracing being human in any way I possibly can.”

Her immense growth as a songwriter is evi-dent throughout the album, especially as Ryder is able to bring optimism and energy even to the record’s darker moments.

Special advance tick-et pricing for the 20th annual festival that runs Aug. 17 to 19 will be in place until May 25.

Spring Into Yoga


It can’t be an easy job being a bear in the Province of British Columbia nowa-days. What with human beings encroaching on their natural habitat, fluctuating and disappearing salmon runs, global warming (just thought I’d throw that one in) and trophy hunters, not to mention other things such as the proposed oil and gas pipelines that will cut through and divide their natural terri-tories. It’s a lot to wake up to after a long winter’s hiberna-tion – especially when you’re feeling grouchy and hungry.

Many bears have come to associate people with food and subsequently head for landfill sites, dumpsters and people’s backyards in search of ‘easy’ food. This altering of bear behaviour, known as food conditioning, combined with a loss of fear of humans through repeated contact, known as habituation, more often than not, results in potentially dangerous, if not disastrous contact/conflict situations. Bears are pretty well always the losers in such situations.

The most effective way to prevent and/or avert such conflicts is simply to put

away or remove any food stuffs that might attract bears such as garbage, bird seed, compost and fruit that has fallen from trees. Keep gar-bage in the house or in a secured container, garage or shed until pick-up day and return the containers to their secured site once they’ve been emptied. Pick ripe and fallen fruit daily. Use bird feeders only in winter months and keep the nearby ground free of seeds and nuts. Clean your barbecue after each use and store it in a secured area. Store pet food inside and bring pet dishes inside as well. Do not put meat prod-ucts or uncooked food into your compost and keep it covered. And, remember, if you do end up confronting a bear in your yard, remain

calm, and by all means keep away from the bear. If possi-ble, bring children and pets indoors. Never approach or attempt to chase a bear, as bears can move very quickly. Once the bear has left the area, check the yard to ensure there are no attractants that will draw it back.

Last year the province’s Conservation Officer Service received more than 23,240 reports of bear sightings. Officers attended more than 2,827 incidents where bears had been acting aggressively or public safety was an issue. As a result 675 black bears had to be destroyed, while another 175 bears were relo-cated. Also, an estimated 383 grizzly bears were killed in this province. While some were shot because they posed a threat to humans, 334 were shot by trophy hunters. Like I said, it can’t be an easy job being a bear in this prov-ince.

Many people, especially in the Interior of the province, have chosen to live in rural and semi-rural areas – areas that bears also call home.

By cutting down trees, clearing land and building homes in areas that were

once natural bear habitat, we have inadvertently encroached upon their natu-ral territory. Ironically, it is human development that is displacing bears while at the same time luring them back into the same areas by leav-ing easy food lying around for them to feed on.

It is also important to remember that when you are heading into the woods, you are likely entering into bear territory. Avoid contact at all costs. Bears are large, strong, fast and dangerous. They are also unpredictable. Bears also tend to become more brazen when they are hungry – especially when first com-ing out of hibernation or when they have become starved because natural food sources are limited or no longer available.

While there is little food content in garbage, it is never-the-less food and bears will do virtually anything to get at something to eat. A little common sense and due dili-gence will go a long way in preventing bear-human con-tacts and conflicts.

Try to keep in mind, too, that it’s not an easy job being a bear.

“This case still stinks.” The words are those of Leonard Krog, the NDP’s attorney general critic.

The case to which he refers is the B.C. Rail scan-dal, in which former ministerial aides Dave Bassi and Bobby Virk pleaded guilty to charges of breach of trust.

The charges were amended counts stemming from the investigation into the bribing of govern-ment officials by lobbyists who wanted access to secret documents relating to the sale of B.C. Rail.

Despite their guilty pleas on the eve of what was to be the testimony of Gary Collins, the Liberal government paid Bassi and Virk’s legal bill — but no Liberal has ever explained why. Why would taxpayers foot the bill for two men who admitted their roles in a bribery scandal?

It doesn’t make sense, which is one of the reasons cited by Abbotsford MLA John van Dongen in his decision to quit the Liberals and join the B.C. Con-servatives.

Van Dongen has even gone so far as to hire a lawyer to look into the unanswered questions relat-ing to this sordid tale.

Yet, Premier Christy Clark — who was deputy premier at the time of the scandal in 2003 — has rejected calls for a public inquiry into the matter. Why? Shouldn’t the premier — who has professed innocence in the case and, indeed, who was long ago cleared of any wrongdoing employed by Basi and Virk — want to know why the government of the day agreed to pay the legal bills of two men who admitted guilt? The fact this government refuses to divulge information to those who paid the tab is astonishing.

A public inquiry would, at the least, enable the public to finally hear from those in government above Basi and Virk and, ultimately, lead to the unanswered question: Why did we pay the legal tabs of criminals?

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

MAIL BAGMP sidesteps on marijuana issue

Re: Colin Mayes’ column in the Shuswap Market News.

Colin Mayes has conveniently avoided the main issue in his opposition to legaliz-ing marijuana. Mari-juana is a cash crop. Why else would all these illegal grow-ops go to such expensive, highly-technical proce-

dures to maintain their operations?

Take away the huge profit margin and it would flop just like any other business – legal or otherwise.

Remember back in history when prohi-bition was tried, and what a fiasco that was? Now alcohol is legal yet abuse of it is ev-

ery bit as dangerous as any other drug. I pre-sume Mayes is a total abstainer as I saw no mention of alcohol in his account.

The medical licenc-es sold by the govern-ment for marijuana grow-ops is a farce, as exposed on TV just recently. If the federal government is truly in-

terested in cost saving, then it should legalize marijuana, take the profit out of all these illegal sales and thus eliminate the high cost of all the prosecutions and court appearances of growers and distrib-utors.

Then, perhaps gov-ernment could also af-ford to reverse its tam-

pering with the pension system and leave it at 65.

Alli M. Graham

Editorial cartoon misses the mark Come on! The “car-

toon” in the March 30 edition of the Shuswap Market News of the two bears and hunter wasn’t even topical.

Bears are not on the endangered species list

in B.C. Looks like the Market News had some blank space to fill.

Try to remember that a lot of your readers are ethical hunters and are the main source of con-servation dollars that

goes into B.C. wildlife habitats.

You not only belittle and insult a number of your hunter/readers but also your advertisers who sell to those of us who hunt and fish.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

Never hurts to do a little research before putting your best foot forward.

MP spreads misinformation on marijuanaIn response to MP

Colin Mayes:Your ignorance of

cannabis is obvious Mr. Mayes, and rely-ing on a journalist to be your source of ex-pertise is irresponsible to say the least.

As for the psychia-trist with 30 years of experience, I think you should ask him why we have not seen the same increase with mental illness rates as we’ve seen with cannabis use among the youth in the last 30 years or more?

Because there is no definitive link between cannabis use and men-tal illness, that’s why.

Dr. Henry T. Ch-

uang’s comment about their brains becoming poisoned exposes his obvious lack of knowl-edge about cannabis, and reassures my point that the doctor is not an expert on cannabis and its effects on its consumers.

I have a question for Colin Mayes and all the other prohibition-ists out there.

Why do you people never talk about the millions upon millions of people around the world that used canna-bis regularly as youths and then moved on in adulthood to become productive members of society? These are

people like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore, to name a few.

The truth is there’s many successful sto-ries behind successful people that included cannabis use when they were young, and I’m quite positive there will be many, many more in the future.

Unless of course they have to answer to a legal system about their cannabis use, a system that has de-stroyed futures, torn apart families, and fi-nancially bankrupted people for choosing to consume a substance far less toxic than the

ones on the legal mar-ket today — substances like alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and sugar.

SOUTH SHUSWAP

OUT ANDABOUT

Lynda Hooper

A dedicated school trustee who lost her life in December is being honoured in a way that would have made her very proud and touched her heart.

Lisa Rolland, school board trustee for the Carlin/Sorrento area, died Dec. 30 of an ag-gressive form of can-cer. Rolland had been re-elected for a third term to the position on the School District #83 board in the Nov. 19 municipal elections.

Board chair Bobbi Johnson had worked with Rolland for the six years she spent on the board.

“We are devastated by Lisa’s loss. She was a hardworking trustee who cared deeply for the welfare of our school district’s students,” she said.

“As the trustee for Carlin/Sorrento she was very involved with those two schools on a regular basis. She had a special place in

her heart for children who were struggling in school and worked to ensure that the board was aware of the issue and doing whatever it could to help these stu-dents.”

Johnson wanted to pay tribute to her friend and colleague.

“In Lisa’s honour, and because of her deep desire to help all chil-dren learn to read, a children’s literacy fund with the Shuswap Com-munity Foundation, which was started last year by Bobbi and Joe Johnson and has been gaining momentum ever since, was recently

renamed the Lisa Rol-land Children’s Literacy Fund.”

There will be a used book sale at the Car-lin Elementary Middle School with all pro-ceeds going to the fund in memory of Rolland.

Donations of chil-dren’s books, or any others you are no longer using, can be dropped off at the school by April 18.

The book sale will take place April 24 and 25 at lunch break. This will be a great opportu-nity for students to get some new reading ma-terial for the summer.

In the meantime, Jenn Wilchuk was elected to the position of School District #83 trustee for the Carlin-Sorrento on March 3.

Probus meets

Gary Koo reports the response to a new Probus Club in Sorrento has been terrific.

Probus is a local as-sociation of retired and

semi-retired persons with professional, busi-ness or management experience, and others who have had some measure of responsibil-ity in a field of worthy endeavour. They should be a person of character and respected in their communities.

Clubs meet regu-larly for fellowship and to hear guest speakers. Probus is not a senior citizens or lonely hearts’ club.

Its basic purpose is to provide regular op-portunities in promotion of healthy minds, bodies and, through social in-teraction and activities, expand personal interest while enjoying the fel-lowship of new friends.

It provides a bridge from the working en-vironment to getting to enjoy things with people of the same age group.

Probus also allows newcomers rapid entry

Trash or treasure, it

all depends on the eye

of the beholder.

Before you put what

you don’t want in the

garbage, consider it’s

possible use to some-

one else.

And, you might even

make some money in

the process.

The Columbia Shus-

wap Regional District’s

re-use website is a pop-

ular site where mem-

bers can offer items for

sale up to a value of

$99, post items for free

or requests for items

they want for them-

selves.

People can also post

services.

“If you’re having a

yard sale or cleaning

out your garage and

want people to know,

or if you want to know

if other people are hav-

ing a yard sale, you

can post it for free,”

says Carmen Fennell,

CSRD waste reduction

facilitator.

Organizations such

as churches and other

non-profit groups are

also welcome to post

their garage or rum-

mage sales, ski swap,

sports swaps, etc. for

free.

The site at www.scr-

dreuses.ca has been up

and running for three

years and is considered

to be a success, says

Fennell.

“We had almost

10,000 visits in 2011

with 400 items or events

listed on the site,” Fen-

nell says. “We’re still

getting new listings for

goods every month and

new members. And, so

far this year we have

had 2,000 site visits.”

Shuswap residents

can also dispose of or-

ganic waste for free at

all CSRD landfills and

transfer stations now

until May 13 during

regular hours of opera-

tion. Visit www.csrd.

bc.ca to find the op-

erating hours of each

facility.

Residents can take

organic yard and gar-

den material and, new

this year, the region-

al district will accept

metal free of charge for

the same six-week pe-

riod as organic garden

waste.

This includes bed

springs, barbecues,

fridges, freezers, old

swing sets, metal toys

or tools, bikes, lawn

chairs, old bathtubs,

any kind of piping and

other metal items.

Keep in mind

though, that yard and

garden waste does not

include fences or rail-

way ties, and that wood

material should be no

larger than eight inches

in diameter.

Sicamous residents

will be able to get rid

of other unwanted ma-

terial Saturday, April

28 at Rec Centre park-

ing lot.

Acceptable items

for disposal include

paints, pesticides, old

gasoline, residential

fluorescent tubes and

bulbs, electronic waste

such as computers, and

small appliances such

as toasters and micro-

waves. Tires will be

accepted as well.

Residents of both

Sicamous and Salmon

Arm will have an op-

portunity to dispose of

more hazardous prod-

ucts at Bill’s Bottle De-

pot Saturday, May 12.

“Bring anything and

everything that’s toxic,

corrosive, poisonous,

flammable – whether it

has a label on it or not,

we will take it,” Fen-

nell says. “We will also

be accepting tires - pas-

senger, light, medium,

on or off rims.”

It is always a joy to discover articles or books about Shuswap history. Thus, when the copy of In those Days – The Reedman Fam-ily Story arrived in the mail, the thin book was read quickly with in-terest. John Reedman, who was often called the “mayor” of Blind Bay, was one of the first to homestead there.

One of the most fascinating portions of this book, written by Isabelle Reedman who was married to Ken, one of the family pa-triarch’s many grand-sons, is the description of why the Reedman’s decided to emigrate and how they ended up in the Shuswap.

Her research in-cluded interviews with family elders, and was aided by the diaries and journals of John’s son Archie, who passed away in 1958. Stories like these, of how the pioneers arrived in the Shuswap, provide us

with insight about the motives of the original settlers and help us un-derstand how our com-munities formed.

The Reedman fam-ily hailed from Stam-ford, England, where they had lived for gen-erations. It flourished in the Middle Ages as one of England’s prime wool towns, but although it later de-clined in importance it was still recognized as one of the country’s best-preserved medi-eval towns. John was born in 1855 into an upper-class family and he ran the family furni-ture business. As well, he was an auctioneer, an occasional tea-taster and a government rep-resentative who helped levy taxes in five par-ishes.

It was when the government passed a new bill imposing an unpopular poll tax that life in England began to unravel for John. When investigations under the new law uncov-ered massive gambling debts for a good friend and respected business-man, who then commit-ted suicide, John began to have serious doubts about remaining in Eng-land. After his second wife died, John hired Florence as a house-keeper to help with his three young sons from

his first marriage. He grew fond of her and they soon fell in love and married. This union set “tongues wagging” in the class-conscious England of the early 1900s and some former friends were hurtful to Florence.

That was the last straw for John and the emigration posters, such as one that said, “Go to British Colum-bia” depicting an apple tree with silver dollars on its branches, began to look very attractive to him. He sent Harry, his oldest son, first, to reconnoiter and report back. His letters were filled with enthusiasm and he found both Al-berta and Saskatch-ewan particularly ap-pealing. Meanwhile, back in England, John and Florence started a family and began mak-ing plans to leave.

Finally, on April 6, 1905, John and his fam-ily boarded the steamer “Virginian” and sailed to Canada. It took ten days to cross the At-lantic and another six days before they ar-rived by train in Cal-gary, where they met Harry and, a few days later, celebrated John’s 50th birthday. Their plan was to journey to Lloydminster, Sask., where Harry had found good farming land, but

fate intervened when a fellow lodger at their hotel introduced them to another recent immi-grant from a town close to their hometown of Stamford, Frank Bar-nard.

Frank had a son, Arthur, who had also scouted out potential areas to homestead the previous year. He, along with a friend, had trav-elled to Salmon Arm and Fortunes Landing (now Enderby), and ex-plored the Shuswap on logging trails using a rented wagon and team of oxen. They were most impressed with Blind Bay and thus the Barnards decided to homestead there after completing work in Cal-gary. When Frank heard about John’s plans to settle in Saskatchewan, he told him, “You can’t take a young wife there, you’ll kill her!”

As luck would have it, the Reedmans missed their train and the next day they joined the Bar-nards and journeyed to Notch Hill. Finally, on May 6, 1905, John and Harry left the others to set up the tents and, af-ter taking a few wrong trails, they emerged at Blind Bay to witness the pristine beauty of the lake with the moun-tains in the distance still covered in snow. Deciding then that this

is where they wanted to make their new life, they proceeded “to have a bath,” obviously not minding the cold water.

Think hope and cour-age and wear a yellow daffodil.

Every three minutes another person is called

to the challenge to fight back– fight back against cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon, stepped up the fight in 2010 by launching the daffodil

pin as part of its annual Daffodil Month.

“The daffodil is a badge of courage and hope to show support for those affected by cancer,” says Cheryl

Cruikshank, Salmon Arm Unit Daffodil Campaign chair.

“By wearing the pin, we let everyone know that people with cancer are not alone on their

cancer journey.”The local unit of the

Canadian Cancer Soci-ety will host a Daffo-dil Day celebration in front of their Shuswap Park Mall office from

11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, April 13. There will be an opportunity to get your daffodil pin, sign a “Field of Hope” ban-ner and mingle with local government reps,

Cancer Society volun-teers and people on their journey with cancer.

Candidates seeking BC Conservative Party nomination

Shuswap residents will have an opportunity to meet some new faces from a political party that hopes to challenge the Liberal domination in this riding in the May 2013 election.

Three candidates are vying for the right to repre-sent the BC Conservative Party in the Shuswap rid-ing: Tom Birch, Ed Klopp and Maureen Walker.

Birch, a Salmon Arm resident since 1998, has worked for non-profi ts and in the forest industry, where he is currently employed as a project man-ager for a Vancouver-based forestry software com-pany.

“I am passionate in the belief that democracy is the people’s government and that we must re-engage those who are disillusioned with it,” he says. “Our youth particularly need to see how their participa-tion does make a difference. We need to revive the concept of citizenship and work together to make our region, our province and our country greater for our having been here.”

Klopp, a resident of Sorrento, has been a trucker, property developer and, since moving to the Shus-wap in 2010, owner of an asphalt repair company. During his time in Alberta, Klopp was involved with the federal Reform Party and the Wildrose Al-liance Party.

“We need to stop expecting the government to keep fi xing everything and expect taxes to go down at the same time. We can’t stay on the tax-and-spend spree that happened with the NDP in the ’90s and still is with the Liberal government to date... We need smaller, more transparent government making tough decisions.”

Walker, a native of northern B.C., moved to the Enderby area in 1997 and is the former owner of the North Valley Echo newspaper. She is currently working for Community Futures Shuswap.

Walker stresses her vast knowledge of the Shus-wap region, its businesses and people, from both her work and as an active community volunteer.

“I am passionate about this province and feel that the BC Conservative Party is the only alternative to the current provincial government.”

The three candidates will be available to meet and chat with the public on Friday, April 13 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Toby’s Restaurant in Sorrento. A similar event will be held on Saturday, April 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Choices Restaurant in Salmon Arm. Coffee and dessert will be available by donation.

Air time # Skateboarder Mack Oleson takes to the air doing an “ollie up the step up” at the Salmon Arm Skate Park.


Shape the future of city’s recreation

You’re invited to fulfill an important role. Help shape the future of parks and recreation in Salmon Arm.

The City of Salmon Arm will be holding a pub-lic workshop on Wednesday, April 11, 6 to 8 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, to help set priorities, goals and objectives for the next 10 years, with a 20-year horizon.

The workshop will provide input which will help form the city’s parks and recreation master plan, as well as the cemetery master plan.

“Public input is key to success,” says the city’s Brad Ackerman, noting the plans will influence future budget decisions.

A first draft will be prepared with a second public workshop to be held, probably in July.

Don’t hang upAs part of the information-gathering process for

the city’s parks and recreation and cemetery mas-ter plans, a phone survey will be ongoing for the next six weeks.

The Mustel Group has been hired to carry out seven- to 10-minute surveys of area residents, in order to get feedback on priorities for parks, the arena, the pool, the community centre – and more – over the next five, 10, 15 and 20 years.

The phone survey will be combined with input from the public meeting to be held April 11.


aAging is a natural process and every stage of life has its rewards. Why

not make the most of whatever age you’re at? Your cosmetic doctor

can help you look your best with a personalized Soft Lift™ makeover.

The Soft Lift™ combines the use of Juvéderm™ dermal filler with a

cosmetic injectable to instantly refresh your look in a single treatment.

As you age, your body’s rate of cell renewal slows down. With

less collagen and elastin to support it, the skin thins out and wrinkles

and volume loss occurs. Juvéderm™ is a dermal filler that uses

hyaluronic acid, a sugar that occurs naturally in the body, to smooth

wrinkles and bring back lost fullness. A cosmetic injectable softens

and relaxes lines, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines

Enderby politicians want marijuana de-criminalized and taxed.

A majority of coun-cil voted Monday to ask senior government to regulate cannabis as a way of reducing crime, rationalizing police re-sources and creating a new source of revenue for communities.

“We’re not saying we agree with marijua-na but the current pro-cess is not working and it fuels the gangs,” said Mayor Howie Cyr, a former RCMP officer.

“Instead of throwing countless people into jail (for marijuana pos-session) and spending money on enforcement, treat it like cigarettes or prescription drugs.”

Cyr believes mari-juana-related investiga-

tions, which can take years, can be a drain on policing resources, and they prevent authorities from dealing with other matters.

“Smaller communi-ties paying for polic-ing are being hit really hard.”

Cyr suggests a new approach to marijuana could also benefit those who use the substance.

“We need to regu-late it and tax it and put money into education and rehabilitation,” he said.

Lone opposition came from Coun. Beryl Ludwig.

“Any drug addicts or former addicts you talk to say they started with marijuana,” she said.

“Marijuana is the gateway to harder drugs.”

Ludwig admits,

though, that she un-derstands the concerns about drug-related crime and police offi-cers spending time on marijuana grow-ops that keep surfacing in the community.

“It would be nice to have the taxes from marijuana but would the taxes be enough to pay for the people that need rehabilitation?” she said.

“It’s hard to legalize something that wrecks so many lives.”

The officer in charge of the North Okanagan RCMP was reluctant to comment on Enderby council’s decision.

“The RCMP’s posi-tion is the politicians make the laws and we enforce them,” said Supt. Reg Burgess.

“At this point, we are going with the laws

given to us to enforce and there is no change there.”

Council decided to lobby for cannabis con-trol after a request from Stop the Violence B.C., which advocates for a new approach to mari-juana.

“The coalition, along with other orga-nizations such as the Health Officers Coun-cil of B.C. and the Ca-nadian Public Health Association, believes that a strictly regulated legal market for mari-juana could better con-trol availability of the drug while at the same time starve organized crime of this enormous cash cow,” said Evan Wood, Stop the Vio-lence B.C. spokesper-son and a University of B.C. professor of medicine.

The excitement is building and, as usual at this time of year, everything is happen-ing at once. This ar-ticle will try to touch on all the news, but don’t forget to check our website for all notices, updates and information at www.ShuswapSoccer.com.

• Three- to five-year-olds: Wow! More than 150 play-ers registered. Timbits program co-ordinator Steve Miller is hosting a brief parent meeting downstairs at the rec centre (by Kids Club) on Tuesday, April 10.

Parents of the U3 and U4 players (born 2008/09) will start at 6:30 p.m. and the U5 (born 2007) parents will start at 7 p.m. This will provide an overview of what to expect and give you a chance to get answers to any questions you may have.

• Six- to 18-year-

olds: We are in the process of putting teams together and all house players will be getting a call or email about their team with-in the next few days. We know the play-ers get anxious but this is something that has to happen after as many registrations have been processed as possible, so it’s one of the last jobs to be done.

Although we have waitlists for most younger age groups, we are still happily accepting registrations for the U14/15 and

U16-18 age groups. If you have a player who has decided to play, it’s not too late. Have them put down the cell phones and game controllers and get outside for some fresh air and exercise.

For younger wait-list players – if there is enough interest, more teams will be formed, so be sure to complete your waitlist registration.

The Shuswap Youth Soccer Associ-ation has hosted three great coaching clinics in the last two weeks that have been very well attended.

We were lucky enough to have two of these instructed by Canadian National A Licence coach John Antulov.

Thanks to everyone who took the time for these. It makes a huge difference to the kids.

The often over-looked but essential

piece of the puzzle is our referee contin-gent.

The Shuswap re-gion has always been lucky to have a strong and reliable referee pool.

Entry level and re-fresher courses have been completed local-ly and we’re planning to hold the small-sided referee beginner and refresher on Saturday, April 14. Location to be determined; check website.

If your player is ages 12-14 years and is interested in get-ting started with ref-ereeing to earn a bit of money, this is the place to start.

Check our website for details. Click on the referee tab.

The Select pro-grams have begun with a couple of teams already having played their first matches fur-ther south down the valley where fields

are dried and safe for play.

The U6-18 house programs are all slat-ed to start on Wednes-day, April 18 but due to Mother Nature’s lazy start to spring this date could change.

The Shuswap Recreation Society is monitoring fields closely, but what the weather will do be-tween now and then is anyone’s guess.

Check with our website for up-to-the- minute info on field openings, referee and coaching information, or email us at: [email protected] or [email protected] or call the office at 250-833-5607.

See you “On the Pitch.”

Building a sky-scraper is the ultimate expression of economic confidence — and more than half of the 124 skyscrapers under con-struction in the world are being built in China. But, confidence is of-ten based on nothing more than faith, hope and cheap credit, and a frenzy of skyscrap-er-building is also the most reliable historical indicator of an impend-ing financial crash.

The Petronas Towers in Malaysia were built just before the Asian fi-nancial crash of 1998.

Burj al-Khalifa in Dubai, now the world’s tallest building, was just starting construction when the Great Reces-sion hit in 2008.

China avoided that recession by flooding its economy with cheap credit — but, that credit has mainly gone into financing the biggest property and infrastruc-ture-building boom of all time. Such booms always end in a crash — but, this time, we are told, will be different.

“This time will be different” is the tradi-tional formula used to

reassure nervous inves-tors in the last years be-fore a great economic bubble collapses.

People in the West want to believe China’s economy will go on growing fast because the fragile recovery in Western economies de-pends on it.

Twenty years of 10 per cent-plus an-nual growth have made China the engine of the world economy, even though most Chinese remain poor. But, the engine is fuelled by cheap credit — and most of that money has gone into real estate.

Take the city of Wuhan, southwest of Shanghai and about 500 kilometres in from the coast. It is only China’s ninth-largest city but, in addition to a skyscraper half as high as the Em-pire State Building, it is building a subway system that will cost $45 billion, two new airports, a whole new financial district and hundreds of thousands of new housing units.

It is paying for all this with cheap loans from state-run banks.

Last year, Wuhan municipality spent $22 billion on infrastructure and housing projects, al-though its tax revenues were only one-fifth of that amount.

The bank loans were made to special invest-ment corporations and do not appear on the city’s books.

The only collateral the banks have is city-

owned land — and that is not a reliable asset in current circumstances.

Land in Wuhan has tripled in price during the property boom and could quickly fall back to the old price or be-low if confidence was to falter. That is quite likely to happen, since Wuhan’s housing stock is already so overbuilt that it would take eight years to clear even the existing overhang of unsold apartments at the current rate of pur-chase.

Multiply the Wuhan example by hundreds of other municipal au-thorities also borrow-ing billions to finance a similar “dash for growth,” and you have a financial situation as volatile as the “sub-prime mortgage” scam that brought the U.S. economy to its knees.

Except that, when the Chinese property boom implodes, it may bring the whole world economy to its knees.

It would be nice to think the worst of the recession is over in the developed countries and the emerging econ-omies will continue to avoid a recession at all.

But, sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease.

“If you have had a good crisis, success can become a curse,” wrote Albert Edwards, chief economist at the French bank Societé Générale, in late 2010.

At that point, Chi-nese bank lending had

almost doubled in three years; it has now al-most tripled in four. The government knows the property bubble is dangerous and is trying to switch spending to consumption, but that is a delicate operation that has to be done slow-ly and there just isn’t enough time.

China is heading for a classic “hard landing” and, when it comes, it will slow the whole global economy to stall speed. The next global recession is not far off, it will be at least as bad as the last one and this time few of the emerg-ing economies (except perhaps India’s) will be exempt.

Nobody knows what will happen in China it-self when growth stops and unemployment soars, but the Commu-nist regime is clearly frightened of the answer. Maybe it can ride the crisis out until growth

resumes at a slower pace in a few years, but with its Communist ide-als long abandoned, its only remaining claim on people’s loyalty has been its ability to de-liver constantly rising prosperity.

If that collapses, so may the regime.

CHASE

Mike Hall had eat-en dinner Thursday, March 29 with his friends and neighbours, the Fennells, less than an hour before he looked out his window to see the orange glow of flames next door.

Hall rushed over about 10 p.m. to find his friend holding a garden hose on his en-gulfed Chase Falkland Road home in an effort to keep the flames from spreading.

Ed Fennell has been raising his family on his own for the past nine years following the death of his wife.

Fennell’s four chil-dren plus an additional young man, a friend of his son, are aged be-tween 12 and 18. Fen-nell’s new girlfriend

had just moved into the house as well.

All escaped the fire that destroyed the fam-ily home without in-jury, but were left with just the shirts on their backs. They are cur-rently staying in tem-porary quarters in a Chase area motel.

Fennell told po-lice the fire started in the laundry room and spread quickly. He did not call 911 because he knew the property was outside the Chase fire protection area.

Outside of fire pro-tection areas, the build-ing insurance is expen-sive, about $4,000 per year for an average- sized home. Fennell did not have insurance to cover the loss of his property.

The next day, a passerby driving down Chase Creek Road,

noticed the fire at 1608 Chase Falkland Rd. was still burning, and called 911. Chase RCMP Constable Bri-an Kukhta responded to the call about 5 p.m. Friday, March 30, and suffered second degree burns to his foot while attempting to ensure there were no victims in the burning struc-ture.

Hydro was later called in to cut the power on the downed electrical lines. The home’s woodstove was not being used at the time, and while the fire does not appear to be suspicious, RCMP are continuing their inves-tigation.

A friend of the Fennell family, Tina Coates, got busy put-ting out a notice on Facebook regarding the devastating event,

and made some calls to others she thought might help.

By Friday afternoon there was already a big community response to Coates and another friend wanting to help, having recently experi-enced a similar loss.

Haldane Elementary and Chase Secondary schools had been col-lecting clothing and household furnishings. By Monday, April 2, Fennell was able to col-lect a complete house-ful including a washer/dryer set.

The only appli-ance not replaced was a dishwasher, but as Coates says, “Doing dishes by hand is no big deal, considering all the family has been through.”

Sleep Country in Vancouver donated five brand new bed

sets. A fund has been set

up at the RBC in Chase for anyone wishing to donate cash toward rebuilding the fam-ily home. Fennell is a building contractor, he built the first home and says he can do it again. Donations of building materials would be helpful as well.

Fennell’s employer has offered a house in Turtle Valley where the family will live un-til a new home can be constructed.

Community rallies for family

Fiddle and gui-tar duo, Kelli Trottier from Ontario and Greg Simm from Nova Sco-tia, performed to a full house on March 23 at the Chase Seniors Cen-tre. The duo grabbed the attention of their au-dience from the start and kept them entertained throughout. The varied

performance included fiddle tunes from across Canada, songs and even a lively step dance. Trottier also played and sang some of her origi-nal tunes, including a lovely ballad called The Homeplace.

Trottier and Simm created a warm rapport with the audience as

they joked about every-thing, from what it was like to work together to the trains going by dur-ing the show. The show ended with a standing ovation and a couple of encores.

Their two-week tour took them to many areas of the province, starting on Vancouver Island,

up to Prince George and ending in Castlegar. They said, with such a warm showing at all of their shows, they hope to return to B.C. in the near future.

Perry Recording stu-dio provided the sound for the show and Ella Duheme did a great job as emcee.

Auto detailer needed immediately. Previous related experience an asset but not a requirement. Applicant must be willing to learn and ready to work.

Much clean-up ac-tivity has been under-way at the Chase Mu-seum. The hazardous materials team received a clean bill of health from Work Safe BC with air quality read-ings registering much better than required.

The repairs to the building are more com-prehensive than origi-nally planned with the removal of the beauti-ful barrel ceiling in the old building being nec-essary. Particles of old insulation containing traces of asbestos were found to have sifted down into the tongue and groove ceiling, ne-cessitating its removal.

Walls have been stripped down to bare studs. Both walls and ceiling are now being prepared to accept new, improved insulation and drywall. The floor which was once multi-level, causing difficulty for visitors with mobil-ity issues, will now be made all one level. The old choir loft, which was severely damaged in the fires, has been removed, thus creating more open space for future exhibit develop-ment.

New exterior siding with vastly improved fire safety ratings will soon be installed and both entrances to the building will be re-paired. A new, state-of-the-art alarm system with video recording capability, in addition to 24-hour monitoring, will replace the old sys-tem and provide great-er security than in the past.

While contractors hired by the insurance

company will complete much of the more de-manding work, they are working with local sub-trades, volunteers and suppliers to maximize local community ben-efits from the project as much as possible. A number of generous lo-cal businesses are work-ing to share the costs of repairs by sponsor-ing various aspects of the job such as siding, flooring, Gyprock, in-sulation and security.

Any individual or business who would like to be part of this project, may call the museum office at 250-679-8847. A board member will meet with you to explain the ben-efits the museum can provide to you in ex-change for your help.

There are lots of other ways to be part of making the museum

and archives a new, vi-brant part of the greater Shuswap community. As time goes on, there continues to be a need for volunteers for con-struction, artifact con-servation, docents (mu-seum guides), gardeners and fundraisers.

Anyone unable to work as a volunteer may help by attending the major fundraiser of the year on July 14, the Heritage Golf Clas-sic. It includes dinner, dance and silent auc-tion. Tickets for just the after-golf portion of the event are available too. Donations of golf prizes or silent auction items will also be gratefully accepted.

There are so many ways to be part of this great community spirit building experience that there is sure to be some way to get involved.

Many ways to support museum

# Chase and District Museum and Archives has been completed gutted inside, and the siding stripped off on the outside, ready for new con-struction to start.

An article in the Chase Tribune, Jan. 17, 1912 issue with the headline, ‘Board of Trade Elects Officers’ announced the first ex-ecutive for the newly started Chase Board of Trade.

We know this be-cause it said so on the place mat at the Chase Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting held Tuesday, March 27 at the Creekside Se-nior’s Centre. It was a copy of the top half of a front page with a car-toon drawn by Jerome Howard Smith.

Aside from an-nouncing the newly elected board of direc-tors, a celebration of the Chase Board of Trade’s 100th anniver-sary was also on the agenda.

Jerome Howard-Smith married Amy, daughter to Whit and Betsy Chase. Amy had been living with her Aunt Mary Smith (sis-ter to Whitfield) while going to Pleasant Val-ley in Illinois, when she met Howard-Smith. He was lead illustrator for the New York maga-zine, Puck, when they wed and moved west, settling into the Chase Ranch.

Howard-Smith be-came an illustrator for the Chase Tribune. As an artist he preferred painting western land-scapes, often with horses and cowboys, which he created in a studio on the ranch.

Coun. David Lep-soe, also an historian in Chase, provided the materials to make the entertaining place mats; each setting had one of the four differ-ent Howard-Smith car-toons.

Ray Murray gave the blessing before the sharing of a wonder-

ful home-cooked style meal, complete with a beautiful cake. A How-ard-Smith cartoon was printed over the top of the cake; apparently the ink from the cake printer is made from flowers – who knew?

There was a slide show which played throughout the eve-ning of Chase histori-cal scenes, courtesy of the Chase and District Museum.

Tom Price was meet-ing chair, and spoke to an exciting new year with many networking and educational oppor-tunities.

Mayor Ron Ander-son inducted the 2012 Chase Chamber of Commerce board of directors: Andy Phil-lips, Ron Betts, Joan Anderson, Tristan Cav-ers, Ray Murray, Linda Kynoch and Lyn Ri-ley.

Spring forward with a clean, healthy smile

“You don’t have to brush and floss your teeth – just the ones you want to keep.”

- Author unknown

April means spring is here, a time to enjoy the budding of flowers and other new begin-nings. For many of us spring brings renewed energy and interest in our overall health.

The mouth is often described as being the gateway to the rest of the body. Maintaining good oral health is an important part of being healthy.

We are now learning that poor oral health may be linked to chron-ic diseases such as dia-betes heart disease and respiratory illness. Maintaining a healthy mouth and body is all about prevention.

Here are a few tips to help you spring for-ward with a healthy smile!

Brush your teeth ev-ery day, twice a day.

Brushing daily helps to remove plaque that causes tooth decay and gum disease.

If you use a power toothbrush, choose one

that has a rotation/os-cillation action.

Fluoride toothpaste will help keep the outer layer of the teeth hard and resistant to the ac-ids that cause tooth de-cay.

Floss your teeth ev-ery day, once a day. Flossing daily helps re-move plaque from be-tween the teeth. If flossing is difficult, floss holders can make it easier. If you have braces or bridges, in-terdental brushes are an alternative.

Eat and drink well. Foods that are nutri-tionally healthy are also good for your oral health.

Limiting sweet, sticky snack foods and sugary drinks will re-duce the number of acid attacks on your teeth.

Drink less sugar and more water. Sugary drinks increase the risk of tooth decay. Plain water is the best thirst quencher, especially between meals, and it is also good for your teeth.

Visit your dental pro-fessional.

Regular check-ups

and professional clean-ings are the best ways to ensure your mouth is healthy and free of tooth decay and gum disease.

Opening a new restaurant has brewed

complications for a local couple.

Owners of the popular Barley Sta-

tion Brew Pub, Stu and Kathy Brad-

ford are opening Wicked Spoon, a

family-oriented restaurant two blocks

away at the site of the former East

Side Mario’s.

The menu will be diverse and the

restaurant will have a liquor licence.

Trouble is, the Bradfords will not be

permitted to serve – or promote in any

way – the beer that is made in the Bar-

ley Station’s microbrewery.

Under current B.C. legislation, the

two businesses are considered to be

under “tied-house” regulations – regu-

lations a spokesperson for the Minis-

try of Mines, Energy and Resources

says are under review.

“Initially I was prohibited from

opening a restaurant because I have an

interest in a brewery,” says Stu who,

following a letter to Shuswap MLA

George Abbott, received a “discre-

tionary decision” from the province

that allows him to open a new eatery.

“But I still can’t sell my own product.

I can sell my product to everyone else

in town but can’t sell my own product

to me. How’s that for stifl ing business

in B.C.?”The tied-house rule goes back to

the 1940s or ’50s, and was designed

to prevent large Canadian breweries

from getting control over what beer is

sold in pubs, says Stu.

“Our microbrewery is so small it

won’t have an impact on anybody,”

he says. “I suggested a way around it

would be to make an amendment (to

the regulations) to allow small brew

pubs who open another restaurant in

another location to sell to ourselves.”

He believes that would be a quick fi x

– a particularly timely one considering

the growing number of craft breweries

and brew pubs in the province.

“You can’t stop them from doing

Battle brewing over beer

RCMP have taken down their third marijuana

grow op in six days in the rural areas surrounding

Salmon Arm.

The latest search warrant involved a property in

the 5300 block of Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road,

where police were looking for an illegal electrical

power diversion.

The police search on March 26 netted just over

100 marijuana plants.

A 24-year-old woman was arrested on site,

while a second woman, 20, later turned herself in

to police. Charges of theft of power service are being rec-

ommended against both women, who were resid-

ing in the home. The women are not being named

until formal criminal charges have been laid.

Last Thursday, March 22, members of the

Salmon Arm RCMP detachment were over in

Blind Bay, where they executed a warrant in the

2600 block of Blind Bay Crescent. The search

yielded a marijuana grow of 703 plants in various

stages of growth.

Salmon Arm Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane says the

operation was being powered by electricity sto-

len through a hydro bypass. He says the electrical

system was found to be unsafe, and power to the

property was shut off. The investigation is ongo-

ing.In addition to police involvement, the disman-

tling of a third grow operation on Wednesday,

March 21 was assisted by Ministry of Environ-

ment offi cials, who were brought in to investigate

possible pollution into a nearby creek.

The grow operation was being run out of a large

shop on a rural property in the 2500 block of Ski-

mikin Road. RCMP found 860 plants, which staff

Keane described “as large as Christmas trees,” as

well as a sizeable amount of dried marijuana bud,

with an estimated value of $250,000.

“It was monstrous,” said Keane. “The shop was

Shaking his head: Barley Station Brew Pub owner Stu Bradford is still seeking a permit to sell beer

from his microbrewery at the Wicked Spoon, his soon-to-be-opening, family-oriented restaurant at the

former East Side Mario’s location.

Regulations: Pub owner can’t sell his own beer in new restaurant.

Rural area: RCMP seize

more than 1,600 plants

from Tappen, Blind Bay.
