Booze plans for Stomp worry RCMP

Summer Stomp organizers have so far fulfilled requirements set out by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District but RCMP are expressing con-cern over potential violation of liquor laws for the July 19 to 22 event.

Sgt. David Evans, rural operations NCO with the RCMP’s Vernon/North Okanagan Detachment, voiced his concerns.

Evans says organizers of any public gathering are required by law to apply for a special liquor li-cence that allows them to set up a beer garden on the proposed site, something Stomp organizers have not done.

“I have concerns around a bring-your-own-booze policy in the proposed location for a group that size and the related issues that could arise around that,” he said, referring to the remoteness of the Salmon Valley Road location and the fact alco-hol can be consumed anywhere on-site.

Stomp organizer Steve Hammer would not re-spond to questions from the Market News, other than to say that they are proceeding with plans to hold the annual event.

Evans says servers in beer gardens are legally responsible for not over-serving, can assess the amount of alcohol consumed by a person and monitor age requirements.

“To respond to calls puts our officers and mem-bers of the public in general at greater risk because it’s not contained to an area. It’s harder to control people, identify people (who are possible trouble-makers) and people having access to bottles,” he says. “By virtue of this being a public event it is illegal. There’s any number of events we have that range anywhere from hockey, curling, rodeos, mu-sic concerts and when those events wish to serve alcohol, they go through proper process by apply-

ing for a special licence. It gives enforcement the opportunity to review plans to ensure public safety.”

“As far as a police presence goes, people cannot be found intoxi-cated in a public event and that’s a public place,” Evans says, not-ing his disappointment CSRD directors have chosen not to enforce permitted use regula-tions which would pro-hibit the event.

He will be asking as-sistance from other de-tachments to help police the area that will have Sturgis North and the Armstrong Metalfest running that weekend.

“There will be road checks. We will be tar-geting people driving under the influence,” he cautions. “You will see a very increased police presence throughout the entire Vernon-North Okanagan region.”

And while he has only had email contact with the Stomp organi-zation, Evans says he will meet with organiz-ers to address this and other issues.

CSRD staff, mean-while, are in wait-and-see mode.

Development servic-es assistant Dan Pass-

more says Stomp orga-nizers met the CSRD’s June 1 deadline set by providing more detailed security, fire manage-ment, traffic plans, emergency response and general operations plans.

He says Interior Health and BC Safety Authority inspectors will conduct on-site in-spections once infra-structure and vendors are on-site.

As well, organizers have applied to the Wildfire Management Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources to authorize an exemption for their bonfire, which will be in excess of the half-metre wide by half-metre high camp-fire restriction that goes into effect June 15 at noon.

“As it stands now, the report will be advising the board on the fact

the Stomp has fulfilled all their conditions and the board resolution previously given should stand,” he says of the directors’ decision to rescind bylaw enforce-ment on the site for the duration of the Stomp, pending more complete reports and a willing-ness to shut off the mu-sic (live or otherwise) at midnight.

Passmore says he will be collecting infor-mation for directors right up until the June 21 meeting.

“It is an evolving sit-uation and the situation will be evolving likely right up to the meet-ing,” he says. “If any-thing ugly comes up in the meeting, the board knows about that and has an opportunity to deal with it.”

A neighbour who does not wish to have his driveway used as access to the Stomp has not yet heard from or-ganizers, but Passmore says he understands the plan is to route entry away from there.

“It is not one of the items the board specifi-cally asked about,” he says. “If they haven’t straightened things out by June 2, the board may look at that and say they won’t want to approve something that creates trespass.”

Large-lot subdivision proposedAfter a development

proposal next to the Ap-pleyard subdivision was turned down by city council last month, Gary Arsenault of Green Em-erald Investments Inc. has returned with a dif-ferent plan for a differ-ent location.

At Monday’s meeting of the city’s develop-ment and planning ser-vices committee, coun-cil discussed the pro-posal to rezone property owned by Gary and Sharon Arsenault at 2100 45th Ave. NE from A3, small holding zone, to R7, large lot, single family residential zone.

Council members

present showed their support by voting unan-imously to forward the item to the June 11 meeting of council. Couns. Marg Kentel and Alan Harrison were ab-sent.

Arsenault said he plans on making the subdivision a showcase of homes, including fea-tures such as ground source geothermal, cis-terns to catch roof water, porous driveways and other environmentally sustainable features.

The potential number of parcels permitted un-der R7 zoning would be 33, but Arsenault is will-ing to sign a covenant limiting the number to 23, in keeping with the property’s location as a

transition between the Agricultural Land Re-serve and future resi-dential development across 20th Street NE.

The city’s official community plan identi-fies the need to mini-mize conflicts between residential and agricul-tural lands. A staff re-port notes that this

could be done with fencing to deter house-hold pets from entering the farmland as well as vegetative buffers, both which could be done prior to subdivision.

Arsenault objected to this requirement, stat-ing that fencing and landscaping should be done after subdivision because construction would necessitate tear-ing down a fence or could damage land-scaping.

Corey Paiement, the city’s director of devel-opment services, said he would like to have a covenant in place, but a security could be ac-cepted to allow flexibil-ity in terms of timing and types of trees.

“At the end of the day, we need to have a fence and landscaping there. What I don’t want is to have property owners come back and say they didn’t know anything about this and have to fight with them over it.”

It’s a family affairHaney Heritage Village and Mu-

seum is doing it up right for fathers of all ages.

On Sunday, June 17 families are invited to treat their dads to a special day at R.J Haney Heritage Village.

Start your morning with a hearty pioneer pancake breakfast. The vil-lage will be buzzing with displays from the Shuswap Pioneer Collec-tors Club, who are always willing to share their stories. Watch demonstra-tions by members of the Shuswap Spinners, Needle Arts and Quilting Guild. Discover the value of these fascinating crafts that still have merit today. Also of interest is Neil Sutc-liff’s vintage radio collection.

While at the village, enjoy free wagon rides, Haney House tours, pan for gold and visit the kids’ craft and colouring table.

Take Dad on a scavenger hunt, exploring the village and trails and enter his name for the Father’s Day draw.

Enjoy a delicious barbecue lunch at Marjorie’s Tea Room from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., while listening to

some of the live music that will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This year’s entertainers include: Lake Monsters, a nine- piece cover band that plays hits made popular by Michael Bublé, Santana, The Com-mitments and many others; Black n Bluz, a local six-member band that plays tunes from the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s; and Bruce Strachan, a mu-sic professional well-known in the northern B.C. scene. His recording credits include Damals and Shakin’ Up North, Canadian Rockabilly Vol-ume 1.

The Broadview School at Haney will host “Photographing Our Lives,” a photo project by South Broadview students in grades one and fi ve. This exhibit reveals the di-versity and character of where and how the students live, and what they hold important to them.

Admission is $6 for adults, $4 for children 5 to 13 years, and free for children under four.

For more information, call the vil-lage at 250-832-5243, visit www.salmonarmmuseum.org.

Houses with history# Participants gather on the porch of Leech House, now a bed and breakfast, during Sunday’s Heritage Tour of nine homes.

Lineups at food banks have grown substantially in the current economic downturn.

And Salmon Arm residents have the chance to help make a big difference with just one dollar.

The Second Harvest Food Bank has put togeth-er a fundraiser that will continue throughout the month of June.

During this time, Second Harvest organizers are asking that Salmon Arm residents donate a single dollar to help their cause.

“We believe that there are somewhere in the

neighbourhood of 8,000 to 10,000 families in Salmon Arm,” said Diana Mangold, Second Har-vest Food Bank manager. “So if every family do-nates just one loonie, that would be a tremendous help to Second Harvest.”

Donations can be placed in the white mail-box located by the Save-On Foods exit or in the marked cans located at Askew’s and Salmon Arm Health Foods.

Second Harvest Food Bank is located beneath Total Pet with a door onto the Ross Street Plaza.

Living Waters Church

The water level in the lake is on the rise, the carp are in the bay and, last weekend, I saw a couple of kids down at the end of the wharf with their fishing rods. All good signs for the upcoming 16th Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby, to be held Father’s Day, June 17 down at the wharf.

Over the next few weeks I’m sure there will be more young anglers down there on the docks testing the waters, so to speak. There always some of the more ardent anglers who head down there ahead of time and try out dif-ferent spots along the dock, using different types of lures at different depths. They’re the ones who are the most competitive.

The Annual Salmon Arm Kid’s Fishing Derby is open to all children 12 years of age and under. There is no cost to enter the derby. Registration takes place Sunday morning, beginning at 6 a.m., at the end of the wharf. And the only restrictions are that each child must be accompanied by an adult, and each child must wear a life-jacket or PFD. Six certified lifeguards

are on duty throughout the event. Some life jackets are available for children who do not have one. Only coarse fish are eligible for trophies and prizes, and fish must be caught and played by the child. An adult, however, may assist in netting.

An awards ceremony will take place immediately fol-lowing the derby at the end of the wharf where the tro-phies and major prizes will be handed out.

The winner of the annual Kids Fishing Derby will receive the Salmon Arm Sav-ings and Credit Union - W. J. (Bill) Murray Memorial Tro-phy, an IM-6 graphite rod and reel outfit, a $200 RESP Education Bond, and they will get to take their whole

family on an all-expenses-paid, weekend fishing trip to Beaver Lake Lodge. This includes accommodation, boat and motor and $100 worth of groceries. Second- and third-place winners will receive rod and reel outfits and RESP Education Bonds.

The lucky angler who lands the first fish of the derby will receive the Picca-dilly Place Mall Trophy, a rod and reel outfit and a $100 Rotary Club-sponsored RESP Education Bond.

Two anglers who catch fish closest to predetermined “secret weights” will have their names scribed onto the Canadian Tire Trophy, and, will each win a brand new shiny mountain bike.

The angler who manages to catch the most fish will receive the City of Salmon Arm Trophy, a rod and reel outfit, a $100 Rotary Club-sponsored RESP education bond, as well as a one-year pass to the swimming pool.

There is also a whole whack of other great prizes given out throughout the derby.

As in previous years, there will also be the special Par-

ent Appreciation draw prize. Adults receive one draw ticket for each child they register. At the awards cere-mony, one lucky person will win a fully decked-out bar-becue with all the accesso-ries, as well as $100 worth of groceries.

And don’t forget the School District #83 Fishing Story Contest, sponsored by the Salmar Theatre, that is held in conjunction with the derby. Students from elemen-tary schools in the area can submit an original fishing story – true or as far-fetched as they can make up – to their teacher.

The winner of the best fishing story receives a $100 R.E.S.P. Education Bond, a one-year pass to the show – yes, they get to go to the show any time they want, for free, for a full year. As well, everyone in their class at school also gets a one-time pass to the show.

However, long after all the trophies and prizes have been handed out and subsequently are forgotten over time, the kids will still remember the time spent with their parents at the end of the wharf.

Enderby is facing a situation many other B.C. communities, like Chase and the North Shuswap, have experienced in recent years.

Doctors are packing their bags for other oppor-tunities or retiring, and that is leaving patients no one to turn to when their health deteriorates.

That’s why Enderby’s decision to lobby the pro-vincial government for policy changes is so criti-cal.

As it stands, each rural community is classified on an isolation-based point system which deter-mines if incentives are available for doctors mov-ing there. For towns like Enderby, they rate very low because they are next to larger communities, such as Vernon, and not considered isolated.

The problem is these smaller towns are often overshadowed by the more populous city and its amenities, and doctors head for the bright lights.

The ranking system also doesn’t acknowledge the circumstances facing small communities, no matter their size. Many of them have a growing number of seniors, which places pressure on the medical system, while certain demographics, such as First Nations, have specific health-care needs.

Without a sufficient physician base, there is a concern that seniors will leave town, which has significant implications for businesses and the economy. Young families may pass a community by if there isn’t a doctor readily at hand when a child is injured or sick.

It’s not enough to send out glossy brochures and say how great the lifestyle is. There must be con-crete financial incentives provided if a physician is going to consider moving to a town and commit-ting themselves to residents.

The provincial government and, particularly, Shuswap MLA George Abbott, a former health minister, needs to become more active in ensuring the long-term viability of our rural areas.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray


MAIL BAGGlobal warming has a financial, moral cost

Ever wonder how people can afford to take time off work to lobby on behalf of Suncor and Enbridge?

Investigations have uncov-ered the fact that lobbyists are being paid by multinational corporations to try to influence government!

How ironic that Colin Mayes’ attempt to paint envi-ronmentalists as jobless urchins living off the public purse and funds from foreign puppeteers appeared in the Shuswap Mar-ket News on the same day that it was announced that atmo-spheric carbon dioxide levels have reached a sobering 400 parts per million.

Mr. Mayes’ article makes many allegations but provides little detail. Who are these paid demonstrators? Which chari-ties have gone past the 10 per cent they are allowed to spend on advocacy?

Environmental groups are hardly the only beneficiaries of American interest group lar-gess. The NRA was involved in the campaign to end the long-gun registry in Canada. Was Mr. Mayes similarly outraged when those foreigners were “undermining democracy” in “a sovereign country?”

Global warming is a prob-lem that extends beyond our borders. In order to forestall this looming ecological disas-ter we need to stop building more petroleum-based infra-structure and we need govern-ment investment into energy technologies and new energy systems that do not continue to raise CO2 levels.

Small ‘c’ conservatives tend to pride themselves on claiming the moral high ground yet the Conservative party seems indifferent to the hu-man suffering already apparent

from global warming. Climate change is today causing crop failure, starvation and climate refugees. Atmospheric pollu-tion and climate change is not just an environmental issue; it is certainly a moral issue.

Even fiscal conservatives should have obvious reason to be concerned about global warming. The cost of prevent-ing and repairing damage to infrastructure from ever more powerful storms, extreme weather events and pest infes-tations will necessitate higher taxes and hurt commerce.

In subsequent columns I would like to see Mr. Mayes address the issue of climate change head on, rather than at-tacking those who want to see our government take action to deal with global warming.

Re: the article, “Council considers mobile home changes,” in the June 1 edition of the Shuswap Market News.

The dated, 20-page document that was re-ferred to in the article is Bylaw #162-1978. It contains the instruc-tions for setting up a mobile home park (MHP) in Chase and, when reviewed by Ur-ban Systems to update our Official Commu-nity Plan in 2006, was reaffirmed.

The renewed OCP stated that, “It is the policy of council to al-low only single-wide

mobile or other forms of manufactured hous-ing in areas designated manufactured home residential.” This por-tion of the OCP was amended by council to allow some residential housing, especially for MHP owners, “where appropriate.”

The document con-tains the requirement that there only be one dwelling permitted in a MHP. Pine Street MHP currently has two as the former office on Pine Street was sold. Rezon-ing added another.

Additionally, the portion of the docu-ment that addresses

recreational areas states there must be 500-square feet set aside for each unit for recreational purposes. This may not include space set aside for buf-fer areas, parking ar-eas, ancillary buildings, mobile home spaces, driveways and storage areas.

Pine Street MHP would require 18,000-sq. ft. for this purpose. I believe that the intended building site is the recreational area and another public hearing is required.

Above all, I refuse to accept blame for the delays as all of these is-

sues should have been dealt with at the first public hearing.

I believe that our competent bylaw offi-cer was overruled to fa-cilitate a speedy rezon-ing for a single Chase MHP owner.

I can see these changes being the slip-pery slope that allows a MHP to morph into a housing development. Making this an easy possibility will cause anxiety and devalue the investments of the approximately 170 mo-bile home owners al-ready situated here.

SOUTH SHUSWAP“Pickleball is the

fastest growing sport in North America,” states South Shuswap resident Jim Hall. “Think ten-nis, badminton, squash, table tennis.”

The game was in-vented in the summer of 1965, in response to “I’m bored” whin-ing from the children of two desperate dads in the Puget Sound area of Washington, Bill Bell and Joel Pritchard.

As the whining was replaced by kids yell-ing at the Pritchard fam-ily dog, cocker spaniel Pickles took an interest in the new game, in par-ticular the ball. When he could get away with it, Pickles would fetch the ball and hide in the bushes. ‘Pickleball’ be-came the name of the game.

The game is played with wooden paddles, like a ping-pong paddle. A plastic ball, similar to a slightly larger practice golf ball with holes in it, is the object hit over a

net in the middle of half or quarter of a tennis court. Size of the court depends on the agil-ity of the players. Dur-ing inclement weather, pickleball can be played at an indoor facility.

In Blind Bay, pick-leball is played at the Shuswap Lake Estates (SLE) Tennis Court, every day of the week, from 11 a.m. to dark (except for Monday and Tuesday evenings, due to scheduled tennis games). Coordination between tennis and the newly formed pickleball club means times will be altered as required.

Many enthusiastic former tennis players who have aged, become physically incapacitated or can no longer handle the speed and agility re-quired for tennis, find pickleball is a suitable sport.

There are others who would like to get into a sport which provides physical exercise and social interaction with others having common interests. SLE tennis members have gracious-ly offered the space to

play pickleball.As the Blind Bay

Pickleball Club is new, the invitation is out to anyone interested in joining. Call Jim Hall at 250-675-4002 or email [email protected] for further information.

Probus Club of Copper Island

It’s official, the Pro-bus Club of Copper Is-land is now one of more than 200 such clubs in Canada, with more than 27,000 members.

An executive com-mittee has been select-ed, for the bit of or-ganizing involved with this club. It’s relatively easy, given the simple mandate to network and socialize.

Copper Island Pro-bus meets every second Thursday of the month at Toad Hall behind Toby’s Restaurant in Sorrento. Coffee is on by 9:30, the meeting

starts at 10 a.m. The next meeting will be June 14.

The message isn’t getting through and the cost could be loss of a service.

Sorrento residents could lose their recy-cling bin after someone dumped several bags of drywall and extra bags in and beside the Sor-rento recycling bin re-cently.

“We’re providing a community service,” says Carmen Fennel, Columbia Shuswap Regional District waste reduction facilitator, of longtime illegal dump-ing issues at the site. “The community re-quested a recycle bin, but if it continues to be abused, we will have no choice but to remove it.”

That happened for several months in 2010

when the caretaker quit over continuing prob-lems of large quanti-ties of non-recyclable material being dumped there.

Fennell says CSRD then had a difficult time finding a new contractor to manage the site.

“The caretaker’s job is to ensure the site is properly maintained,” says Fennell, noting items that cannot be recycled are hauled to the landfill, at the care-taker’s expense. “They have to clean it up, haul it and pay the tipping fees at the landfill site.”

Current contractor Sheila Cook was angry when she arrived at the site to discover the con-struction waste filled the bin and that others who arrived at the site had simply dumped their recycling items on the adjacent ground.

Cook told CSRD of-ficials she expects the person dropping off the drywall was simply try-ing to escape paying the tipping fees at the land-fill site.

“It cost us a lot of money to get rid of it,” she says.

The Sorrento site is popular and the bin is emptied about three times a week. But, says Fennell, of all the CSRD recycle bin sites, Sorrento has historically been the most difficult to maintain due to il-legal dumping.

Caretaker contrac-tors are required to do site visits once every day, but Cook and her family have to go to the Sorrento bin three times a day, every day.

“We’ve had things left there like a toaster, a vacuum cleaner, a wa-ter cooler and a TV,”

says Cook. “The com-munity lost the bin once and there was such an uproar they brought it back, but the same thing is happening.”

Fennell reminds resi-dents that many items such as small applianc-es and electronics can be dropped off free of charge at Bill’s Bottle Depot in Salmon Arm during business hours.

“Leaving them any-where else is illegal dumping and an added burden on the Cooks,” she says, noting the re-gional district does have provisions for fines up to $200. “I hope it doesn’t come to the point where we have to give out fines or take the bin away permanently, but if those few people who are dumping their garbage continue to act irresponsibly, we won’t have any choice.”

Mayors from the Shuswap and through-out B.C. have put the provincial and federal governments on notice.

Last month, 86 may-ors convened in Pentic-ton for the inaugural, two-day meeting of the BC Mayors’ Caucus. Among the attendees were Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton and Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper.

Trouton says he went to the meeting expect-ing to listen to a “bunch of political jargon.” What he found, howev-er, were mayors of mu-nicipalities large and small conversing casu-ally about shared issues and concerns.

Cooper says she mar-velled when she saw District of Wells Mayor Robin Sharpe chatting with Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, find-ing out they share com-mon ground. In fact, all of the mayors discov-ered common ground on a number of issues, key among them being policy changes at the provincial and federal government levels that impact municipalities.

“We all had a lot of the same issues with how government poli-cies are, how they’ve been run, and how the federal and provincial government have down-loaded on municipali-ties in order to be politi-cal I would say,” says Trouton. “It’s not effi-cient and it’s not effec-tive.”

Cooper says she and her fellow mayors should be at the table when the provincial and/or federal governments make changes without prior warning that have a negative impact on a municipality’s budget after it’s been set. Cau-cus members are now calling for a the creation of a Premier’s Round Table, with the B.C. Mayors’ Caucus, to dis-cuss public policy changes that affect local budgets and services.

“We’re trying to hold the federal and provin-cial governments ac-countable,” says Trou-ton.

Another goal of the caucus is to “eliminate the ad hoc granting pro-cess,” that has B.C. communities competing with one another for tax dollars to complete proj-ects that are sometimes vital.

“The people pay their taxes and it goes into general tax revenue to the federal and provin-cial governments,” says Trouton. “In turn, we have to apply for grants, (we have) to go to them hat in hand to find out whether we can get a sewer grant for our com-munity. Guess what? That’s your money to start with.”

Cooper shares Trou-ton’s frustration, adding that when provincial or federal funding is cut or eliminated, eyes turn to municipal councils.

“One of the things that we saw was in arts and culture, when they

just suddenly said we’re not funding it…,” says Cooper. “This year there was quite a bit of money in our budget for the art gallery because, other-wise, they didn’t know what they were going to do… It’s a valuable ser-vice that we want to re-tain, so there, right away, that was quite a hit.”

What the mayors are asking for is a new part-nership with higher lev-els of government that will be in the best inter-est of all communities.

“We’re the people elected here to represent our community,” says Trouton. “We know bet-ter than our provincial government, or Ottawa, knows what our com-munities need. Yet it seems like they’re dic-tating to us what we can have and can’t have.”

Trouton and Cooper are optimistic that the united voice behind the

BC Mayors’ Caucus is a step in that direction.

“I hope it sends a strong voice,” says Trouton, adding the conference hopes to see results prior to the com-ing provincial election. It will be very interest-ing. This is the first time in history this has ever happened. There has been some downplaying by different levels of government. I know they’re very nervous by the direction that we’re taking.”

Cooper says the may-ors’ caucus will supple-ment the Union of B.C. Municipalities, with the intent of giving mayors, and their municipalities, a stronger voice when dealing with the provin-cial government.

“If we go towards this with a unified voice, and we’re all together on it, then they can’t ignore us,” says Cooper.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGPROPOSED: SOUTH SHUSWAP ZONING AMENDMENT (CSRD)

BYLAW No. 701-45

TAKE NOTICE that in accordance with the Local Government Act the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (“Regional District”) will hold a PUBLIC HEARING regarding proposed South Shuswap Zoning Amendment (CSRD) Bylaw No. 701-45.

The Board of Directors of the Regional District has delegated the public hearing to Director Ted Bacigalupo as Director of Electoral Area ‘C’, being that in which the land concerned is located, or Alternate Director Jack McInally if Director Bacigalupo is absent. At the public hearing those persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw will have a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaw. The Board of the Regional District will not consider any verbal or written representations or submissions after the public hearing. Please be advised that written submissions received will be available to the public and the applicant. Written submissions must be received in the Regional District’s offi ce by 4:00 PM Pacifi c Daylight Time Tuesday, June 12, 2012 or may be submitted at the public hearing.

LOCATION AND DATE OF HEARING: The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Pacifi c Daylight Time, and will be held at the lower level of the Cedar Centre, 2316 Lakeview Drive, Cedar Heights, BC.

PURPOSE OF BYLAW NO. 701-45: Bylaw No. 701-45 proposes to amend South Shuswap Zoning Bylaw No. 701 by clearly defi ning a retaining wall and by exempting certain types of retaining walls from setback requirements, while other types of retaining walls would remain subject to setback requirements. The proposed bylaw amendments create new defi nitions for highway, sight triangle, fi nished ground elevation, retaining structures and for landscape retaining structures. The defi nition for setback will be amended by including structures, while the defi nition of a fence will be amended to exclude retaining structures and landscape retaining structures.

Finally the proposed bylaw amendment includes several changes under the General Regulations – Setback Exemptions section which has the effect of limiting the height of fences within the sight triangle area at intersections and exempts landscape retaining structures from setback requirements, except in certain specifi c situations.

The above descriptions of the purpose and effect of Bylaw 701-45 are only general. The bylaw may have an impact on property owners and tenants in occupation within the area regulated by Bylaw No. 701. It is therefore important for all property owners and tenants in occupation to inform themselves fully as to the nature and effect of the bylaw.

INSPECTION OF DOCUMENTS: A copy of Bylaw 701, amending Bylaw No. 701-45 and all reports, plans and other documents that have been or will be considered by the Board of the Regional District will be available for inspection at the offi ce of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, 781 Marine Park Drive NE, Salmon Arm, BC, between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Pacifi c Daylight Time, beginning Monday, May 28, 2012 and ending Tuesday, June 12, 2012 but excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays.

This notice is issued by Dan Passmore, Development Services Assistant II, Columbia Shuswap Regional District, on May 24, 2012. The mailing address for Mr. Passmore is Columbia Shuswap Regional District, PO Box 978, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4P1.

Get ready to put a lid on the fl ames.

Fire information of-fi cer Kevin Skrepnek says the Kamloops Fire Centre will add the Salmon Arm Fire

Zone to the annual fi re prohibition as of noon Friday, June 15.

And the City of Salmon Arm will do the same.

“Any fi re larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high is prohibited,” he says,

noting the fi re ban in-cludes burn barrels, trash and debris piles and fi reworks.

“There is no ban on fi reworks in the City of Salmon Arm,” says assistant fi re chief Jim Nickles. “But if the situation gets extreme

and Ministry of Forests puts a ban on camp-fi res, we will follow suit with a ban on fi re-works as well.”

Depending on weather, the ban will be in place until Sept. 15 above 1,200 metres in elevation and won’t

be lifted until Oct. 1 in areas below 1,200 me-tres.

People should avoid lighting a campfi re in windy conditions and must ensure that at least eight litres of water are available nearby to ful-ly extinguish the fi re.

Never leave a campfi re unattended.

Anyone found in contravention of an open fi re ban may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fi ned up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year

in jail. If the contravention

causes or contributes to a wildfi re, the per-son responsible may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and ordered to pay all fi re-fi ghting and associated costs.

First Nations field trip# Grade 4 students at M.V. Beattie Elementary went on a field trip to the Mary Thomas Cultural Village May 31 as a wrap up to the year’s curriculum. Students took part in a series of activities de-signed to teach them about the Neskonlith band traditions and history. (Clockwise from top left) Clayton Horvath makes homemade bannock over a fire. Gerry Thomas shows a group of students the seeds inside a piece of rhubarb, a sign that it is over-ripe. Gage Wiersan and Clayton Horvath listen intently as Gerry Thomas explains how teepees were made and what they were used for. Liam Aitken explores the inside of a tholls (tule) reed teepee which was the traditional summer home of the Neskonlith band. William Wilson feels one of the many pelts that were on display, while Griffin Preece examines some of the birch baskets that were set out for students.

Imagine that you are a junior officer in a West African army. You joined the army at 18, you worked hard, you managed to get sent to the United States four times for various train-ing courses, but some-how the promotions never came. You have just turned forty, and in ten or fifteen years you will have to retire on a captain’s pension. What to do?

That is Capt. Amadou Sanogo, and in March he finally figured out what to do. He launched a military coup and de-clared himself president of Mali. Nice work, if you can get it – but then the roof fell in on his empty head.

A military coup against an elected gov-ernment rarely lasts long if the general pop-ulation is willing to de-fend it: the soldiers can usually be driven from power by a general strike. However, Sano-go had some grievances to work with. Mali was extolled elsewhere as a beacon of democracy, but the government was actually both corrupt and incompetent.

The main thing you need for a junior offi-cers’ coup is the support of the ordinary soldiers. There’s not really much it for the men in the ranks, apart from the opportunity to loot: they’re never going to sit in the president’s chair, so they have to be deeply unhappy about the civilian government before they’ll back a coup. Happily for Capt. Sanogo, they were quite cross at President Ama-dou Toure.

Yet another revolt among the Tuareg eth-nic group in Mali’s des-ert north broke out last January, the fourth since 1960. President Toure’s government was not giving the army ade-quate weapons and sup-plies to deal with it (or at least that was the ar-my’s excuse). The reb-els had only seized a couple of small towns on the far-distant Alge-rian border, but Malian soldiers were feeling humiliated and neglect-ed.

But while the soldiers were very angry at Toure’s government by this March, there was no need for a military coup to change it. Na-tional elections were already scheduled for April, and Toure, hav-ing completed two terms in office, could not run again. How can you justify using mili-tary force to remove a president who is leav-ing office next month anyway?

You can’t, but then

nothing’s perfect. At least the ordinary sol-diers at the base Capt. Sanogo commanded just outside the capital, Bamako, were ready to follow his lead. So on 22 March he moved his troops into Bamako and declared that he was taking power because the elected government was not doing enough to halt the rebellion in the north.

President Toure went into hiding, and sud-denly Capt. Sanogo was the most powerful man in Mali – but within a week two things went badly wrong for him.

Sanogo seems not to have realised that ECOWAS, the Eco-nomic Community of West African States, strongly disapproves of military coups in its members (since each member government fears such a fate itself). He was therefore sur-prised when ECOWAS banned all trade across landlocked Mali’s bor-ders and froze Mali’s accounts at BCEAO, the central bank for all the West African coun-tries that use the CFA franc.

He was even more surprised when the Tu-areg rebels took advan-tage of the turmoil in Bamako to overrun the entire north of Mali, an area bigger than France, in only one week. There was little fighting: the Malian army units just fled, as did tens of thou-sands of black African refugees. Pale-skinned

Tuaregs living in the south also became tar-gets for violence. Sano-go’s coup brought about exactly what it was meant to prevent.

These events, plus the growing shortage of fuel for transport and electricity (Mali imports all its oil), forced Sano-go to talk to ECOWAS. On 12 April, after only three weeks in power, Sanogo agreed that the speaker of parliament, Dioncounda Traore, would become the country’s interim leader until new elections could be held. Sanogo was paid off with a mansion and a pension suitable for “a former head of state.”

Only a week later, however, Traore was se-verely injured by a mob that invaded his resi-dence while Sanogo’s troops stood by and did nothing.

Sanogo is still run-ning things from behind the scenes, while Traore is now in France under-going medical treat-ment. And last Saturday the two rival Tuareg rebel groups that now control the north man-aged to settle their dif-ferences and declared the independence of the Islamic Republic of Azawad.

For a man whose am-bition outran his under-standing, Sanogo has accomplished a lot. In just a month he has ru-ined an imperfect but serviceable democracy and divided it into two hostile states: it will

take years for Mali torecapture the north, if itever can. And in“Azawad” the fightingwill continue, becausethe black Africans liv-ing along the big bendof the Niger river in thesouth of that territory donot accept Tuareg rule.

Those who doubt theability of mere individ-uals to change the course of history shouldcontemplate CaptainAmadou Sanogo.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGPROPOSED: ELECTORAL AREA ‘F’ OFFICIAL COMMUNITY

PLAN AMENDMENT (CSRD) BYLAW No. 830-7

June 11 is the Na-tional Day of Healing and Reconciliation.

So what does that mean?

In 2008, both Austra-lia and Canada recog-nized that past govern-ment policies of assim-ilation, and the residen-tial school system, caused great hardship to aboriginal people.

Both governments condemned the cre-ation of the system that carried these policies out.

In Australia, the day is called Sorry Day and was the original basis

of the National Day of Healing and Reconcili-ation (NHDR) in Cana-da.

NDHR is a day when we can all learn more about the collective history of aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples in Canada, and gain a greater under-standing of the policies that contributed to the tragic dismantling of aboriginal cultures, language and spiritual-ity. Families, individu-als, communities, churches and govern-ments are now moving towards celebrating the

positives of collective healing and reconcilia-tion.

As a health-care worker, how does this have relevance to my tobacco reduction work in aboriginal communities?

Many of the legacies of a fractured culture are detrimental to the health of our native communities – high rates of tobacco addic-tion are one example.

We have not been immune to the instant gratification of using and abusing commer-cial tobacco.

Fortunately, using cultural practices, lan-guage, respect for medicines and tradi-tions, aboriginal peo-ple can regain their

healthy lifestyles.Communities can

celebrate their way of life by honouring tra-ditions such as grow-

ing our own tobacco for use in ceremonies and medicine.

We can celebrate our elders and our healers by returning to growing what we use, and not misusing to-

bacco as something smoked then cast off on the ground under our feet.

In the spirit of NDHR, many com-munities in the Interi-or Health region have taken steps to restore some of these practic-es and are now grow-ing tobacco for cere-monial use while working hard to help people address addic-tion to smoking to-bacco.

LACHLAN LABERE/MARKET NEWS

Council members shut the tap Monday on in-stalling water meters at Roots and Blues Festival campgrounds.

At the June 4 meeting of the city’s development and planning services committee, the mayor and councillors present voted unanimously to not make water meters a requirement for two sites of-fering temporary camping during the festival. City engineering staff had recommended install-ing meters because the current city standard for residential properties getting a plumbing permit – which the campgrounds require – triggers the need for an upgrade to a metered service. That allows the city to manage water in a way that conserves energy, sustains the environment, saves money and other benefits, states a city report.

Roots and Blues had applied for a temporary use permit for properties across from the fair-grounds at 550, 690 and 1300 10th Ave. SW. Only the latter two properties were cited, because a meter was recently installed at 550 10th Ave. SW when a building permit was required for a build-ing on the site.

David Gonella addressed the meeting on behalf of Roots and Blues, saying he has spoken to the landowners in question and their response to wa-ter meters was negative. He said they feel they are doing the festival a favour so would prefer not to do it at all if they have to go to the expense of installing meters.

“It’s not a financial gain for them, they’re doing it for the com-munity,” he said.

Mayor Nancy Coo-per and Couns. Debbie Cannon, Ken Jamieson, Denise Reimer and Chad Eliason all voted against including the staff recommendation for water meters. Couns. Alan Harrison and Marg Kentel were absent.

Eliason said he thinks meters are unnecessary and requiring their installation would be “going overboard.” Cannon said the festival brings lots of people to the community, so she doesn’t support meters, particularly if the campgrounds don’t have water available at individual campsites, just at one main location.

Reimer said she thinks low-flush toilets would be a priority before the city starts looking at water meters. Jamieson said water meters are not some-thing council has identified as a priority, but he thinks this should serve as a heads-up it could become one.

“I’m not in favour (of including water meters now) but I think it’s important that it’s part of the conversation in the future.”

Last June, the council of the day unanimously upheld the decision to waive the need for water meters for 2011 on the temporary camping sites, with the intent of reviewing the matter in 2012.

This year the festival plans to open the camp-grounds at Thursday noon instead of Friday in order to alleviate congestion. In addition, a queue system will be used which is intended to remove campers from lining up on 10th Avenue.

Father’s DayJune 17

Father’s Day: a well established traditionFather’s Day will

soon be here, and there’s no doubt

in anyone’s mind that this is an oc-

casion well worth celebrating. But how can we spoil

the man of the household on his

very own special day? Here

are a few ideas.

Today’s f a t h e r s

certainly d e s e r v e to be cele-

brated. The days are long gone w h e n

they left

home in the morn-ing to go to work, returning in the evening to be served an already prepared meal and to sit comfort-ably in their arm-chairs while moms looked after chil-dren and dishes. The involvement of fathers in fam-ily life and daily chores has become the norm, and they take their new role very seriously!

One way of get-ting Dad’s special day off to a good start is for all the family to make him a mouth-water-

ing breakfast. Of course there’s no need to make any-thing elaborate, the goal is simply to demonstrate that you’re thinking of him.

Spending a for-tune on gifts isn’t necessary either. There’s nothing more heartwarm-ing for a parent than to see the children getting involved in the celebration. So a handmade card, craft, or a small, meaningful gift will always be ap-preciated.

What’s especially

important is to spend some qual-ity time together as a family, partici-pating in various activities that ev-eryone will enjoy. A good meal in the

evening, with Dad’s favourite foods on the menu, is a great way to end the day. After all, sharing happiness is what will make this day a success!

SPORTS

On the way to the top# Salmon Arm Midget Outlaws Justin Backus and Carson Hoult work together to contain a Prince George Posse player during a 5-5 tie played at the Halverson Memorial Lacrosse Tournament held over the weekend at the Shaw Centre. In the tournament finale, the Midg-et Outlaws came up big in a thrilling 4-3 victory over the North Delta Islanders.

Winning team for ’BacksThe Salmon Arm Sil-

verBacks have hired two additions to Troy Mick’s team.

Brandon West, bench boss of the MML Oka-nagan Rockets in 2010-2011, has been hired as the new assistant coach for the SilverBacks.

West worked as an as-sistant coach on Rylan Ferster’s staff with the Westside Warriors of the BCHL in 2011-2012, and has been selected by Team Pacifi c to work as an as-sistant coach at the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.

“Brandon is a young, motivated coach, who has an impressive coaching resumé already at such a young age,” said Mick.

Also joining the team is Rob Morphy, the ’Backs new director of scouting and head scout. Morphy spent several years as head scout for the Vernon Vi-pers, where he and Mick won the 1999 Royal Bank Cup in Yorkton, Sask.

“We have had a lot of successes together over the years and we look forward to doing it again with the SilverBacks,” said Mick.

In other news, local fans have probably no-ticed a familiar name has been competing for the holy grail of hockey, the

Stanley Cup. New Jersey Devils centre Travis Zajac played for the ’Backs during 2002 and 2003. Dur-ing the playoffs, Zajac scored three goals against the Florida Panthers, two versus the Philadelphia Flyers and two against the New York Rangers.

World looks to soccerSpain to continue

reign?As you read this,

the Euro 2012 Soc-cer Tournament will have just kicked off in the joint host coun-tries of Poland and the Ukraine.

For 24 days the 14 countries who, for some, survived gruel-ling qualifying stages, along with the two host-ing countries’ players who make up this huge 16-team spectacle, and will provide huge na-tional pride to the peo-ple of their homeland, as well as in ethnic Eu-ropean pockets all over the world.

With four years of waiting in between tournaments, every country’s fans enter the tournament with hopes of winning it all, but any fan is a winner who is lucky enough to witness a game in person or, more im-portantly, the amazing atmosphere and festivi-ties of a host city on game day.

Having travelled to two of the previ-ous Euro’s events, I witnessed kilt wear-ing Scottish supporters dancing with head-to-toe orange-clad Dutch fans or walking three kilometres to a stadi-um with Irish support-ers singing non-stop

while thinking I must be at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration. From the Scandinavian coun-tries’ Viking outfits or the Bavarian-dressed Germans, the Europe-an Championships or the World Cup Soccer tournaments bring peo-ple together in friend-ship and good times.

For 12 straight days, starting Friday, June 8, Canada’s sports net-works will show two live games a day, until the end of the round-robin stage on Tues-day, June 19.

The top two plac-ing teams out of the four groups will then continue on to the single-loss elimination knockout stages, until we’re left with the final two teams playing on Sunday, July 1 at 11:45 a.m. for the champion-ship title.

Will defending Eu-ropean and World Cup Champion Spain repeat or will the loss to in-

jury of big game striker David Villa and defen-sive strongman Carles Puyol hurt the highly skilled Spaniards?

One country that always seems to peak for European or World Cup tournaments is the Germans, who if they can survive the “Group of Death” that includes Denmark, Portugal and their very strong Dutch neighbours, could be competing for the title on July 1.

Can you count out other European powers like the Netherlands, Italy, France or possi-bly even England?

Could this be an-other European tour-nament for an under-dog team to win? Like Greece shocking the football world by beat-ing the host Portuguese in the 2004 final or Denmark’s final vic-tory over the Germans in 1992.

Closer to home, the Canadian men’s soccer team begins another stage of 2014 World Cup qualifying tonight in Cuba and continue with a home game on Tuesday in Toronto.

Having only played in one of the previous 19 World Cup tour-naments, Canada had an impressive tie this past Sunday against a high-ranked American team.

On the local front, at least seven Shuswap Youth Soccer products are currently mak-ing us proud by play-ing for the Thompson Okanagan in the BC Soccer Youth Premier League.

Good luck to all of our Shuswap FC Se-lect teams as they all attempt to qualify for the provincial champi-onships in the next 10 days.

Shuswap Youth Soccer is very proud of the effort these boys and girls, aged 13 to 18, have made compet-ing against much larger soccer districts in the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League.

Until next time, we’ll ‘see you on the pitch.’

CHASEZipline gets set for opening

After long anticipa-tion, the “Bighorn” has arrived, ready to zip in mid-June. Ron Betts, one of the owners of Treetop Fliers, said it’s a good feeling and he’s looking forward to serv-ing eager customers.

South of Chase where the rest-stop was recently closed, Betts and his partners and crew are putting the finishing touches on the new trails up to the top of Three Sisters Falls (formerly known as Chase Falls).

The “Bighorn” starts at the second of the three small connecting falls. The line is 1,000 feet long, terminating in the newly landscaped picnic area. With the incredible view of the falls from a well-placed rock perfectly shaped for seating, spectators can watch the fun as well. Due to the vast-ness of the canyon, a person on the zipline is hardly noticeable in the scenery.

In addition to ex-panded hiking trails to the falls, there is a walkway passing un-der the Trans-Canada Highway toward a Vil-lage of Chase parking lot, adjacent to the pub-lic works yard.

The capital invest-ment has been signifi-cant.

“Treetop Fliers is committed to the Chase community,” says Betts. “The plan is to bring traffic to other businesses in town as well.”

He said there were challenges along the way, mentioning the toilet facilities that hadn’t been cleaned for two years. Somehow maintenance of site had been neglected and re-sponsibility fell to the new leaser-holders.

Zipliners will be transported up to the starting point.

Improved hiking trails remain open to the public with a good-sized picnic area next to a mountain stream.

The entire site is in the final stages of com-pletion. The scenery is breathtaking; even sheep have been curi-ously watching as the project unfolds from the side of their moun-tain. For more info on the Treetop Flyers, see the website at www.treetopflyers.ca.

VILLAGE VOICE

Look up, look way up, and there on the side of the hill, to the south of Chase, there’s a love note, to Diane.

The sign brought a smile to this face, and apparently has the same effect on anyone else who’s seen it. It makes me wonder how Diane

feels about her suitor going to such ‘great heights’ to impress.

Is this graffiti art or vandalism? A Village of Chase councillor said it was out of village area concerns and this is a regional district is-sue. Weather will likely wash away this mes-

sage soon, along with the manmade scar on nature.

For now, Romeo is anonymous.

We do know he must be agile as a mountain goat, rock climbing to accomplish his lofty demonstration of affec-tion.

Romance alive in the hills# An anonymous Romeo painted a note to ‘Diane’ on some rocks up the hill south of Chase.

On June 1, the Thompson-Nicola Re-gional District issued a notice it is rescinding the boil water notice issued for the Pritchard Community Water

System on April 30.The subsequent wa-

ter quality tests have shown the water to be safe for consumption. Boiling the water is no longer required.

Should someone other than the property owner occupy the resi-dence (such as a ten-ant), owners are asked to provide this infor-mation to them.

A written notice will follow by mail. If the public has any ques-tions, they’re asked to contact the TNRD Utility Department at 1-877- 377-8673.

Celista Estate Win-ery, located on the north shore of Shuswap Lake, is celebrating results of the All Canadian Wine Championships with a gold medal win for its 2010 Marechal Foch.

“Our concentration has been to produce the best wines possi-ble, and so far we have been rewarded with a number of silver and bronze medals in vari-ous Canadian and U.S. competitions,” says Jake Ootes who, with his spouse Marg, own Celista Estate Winery. “Of course we are ex-tremely pleased now to win a gold medal for our Marechal Foch,

especially in Canada’s most prestigious wine competition. This dark red wine is a great ac-companiment to char-broiled red meat, spa-ghetti and pizza.”

Ootes says they have been growing grapes for 10 years and opened their winery three sum-mers ago, on July 2, 2010.

“Ever since we start-ed we have worked hard on our grape production and on our winemaking to get the best possible quality.”

The judging com-petition was held in Windsor, Ont. in mid-May. Since 1981 the All Canadian Wine

Championships has been considered the country’s leading wine competition. More than 1,100 wines were cri-tiqued by a panel of 14 wine writers, som-meliers and accred-ited wine judges from coast to coast. Wines are judged for sensory components, varietal character and structural soundness.

Celista Estate Win-ery is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. throughout the summer and fall. Wine tasting is free, and visitors can buy a glass of wine to enjoy on the garden patio, which provides a panoramic view of

Shuswap Lake and the surrounding moun-tains.

“The atmosphere makes the wine taste better, and so I have been working on en-hancing the property with a stonework en-trance, flowers, shrubs, trees and manicured lawns,” says Marg of their 160-acre property.

Bottles of wine can be purchased on the premises at the winery and at the local stores on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake as well as in Chase, Blind Bay, Sorrento, Salmon Arm and Kamloops. See the website at: www.celistawine.com.

After a year of weekly meetings, girls of all ages have been bonding through worthwhile activities, with much dedication to helping others.

On Saturday, May 26, Chase Sparks, Brownies, Guides,

Pathfinders, unit help-ers, and leaders got to-gether for a day of fun to wrap up the Guiding year.

The theme for the day was camping. Older girls showed the younger ones how to set up tents, mak-

ing camp gadgets out of string and logs. Girl Guides at all levels prove to be resourceful and creative given the opportunity.

All the girls went on a nature walk, inter-preting trail signs made of sticks and rocks by

following the deter-mined instructions.

They played a vari-ety of games, roasted hotdogs with fresh veg-gies for lunch.

Around a campfire, the girls sang songs, toasted marshmallows for a smores treat.

Everyone reported having a great time, capping off a year of personal growth, learn-ing valuable skills for the future, and form-ing lasting friendships while helping others individually and as a group.

LOCAL NEWS, VIEWS AND ADVERTISING

I have received a number of emails from constituents question-ing the size and com-prehensiveness of our Budget 2012-13.

First, let me say that this budget is a contin-uation of our Economic Action Plan. The Eco-nomic Action Plan is your government’s comprehensive strategy for jobs and growth for Canada.

The plan covers many economic sectors and government minis-tries and hence a large, very detailed budget, addressing everything from the environmental review process, to Em-ployment Insurance policy; to skills train-

ing for labour market needs, to immigration policy for labour mar-ket needs and invest-ments in technology and innovation, just to name a few initiatives.

Government services or regulations have not been watered down in the budget, just stream-lined and simplified.

To help Canada through these uncertain economic times, we need to move forward quickly and remain fo-cused if we are to have jobs for all needing employment.

While keeping taxes low, we still need eco-nomic growth in order to be able to pay for public services, seniors’ programs, and pay down the national debt.

The Human Re-sources Development Canada Standing Com-mittee, of which I am a member, has been studying labour and skills shortages in Can-ada. The mining sector has forecasted $500

billion in capital invest-ment in the next 10 years. The construction trade unions have told us they will need a minimum of 250,000 more tradespeople in the next 10 years. Healthcare workers, the high tech sector, and almost every level of government service, will need up to 50 per cent replacement work-ers just for retirees in the next 10 years. We need to plan now for our economic future.

I cannot fathom why the parties across the floor want your gov-ernment to change course. The proof is in the pudding. The plan is working. Canadians have the best debt to GDP in the G20.

Our banks have been acclaimed as the most secure in the world. Our job growth since the economic slow-down is the highest in the G7, and the IMF has stated that Canada is the best-positioned country in the world

coming out of the eco-nomic slowdown. So why would the opposi-tion want to change course?

The 2012-2013 bud-get has been debated more than any budget in 20 years. Once the bill was referred to committee, a special sub-committee was created to focus on the responsible resource development changes. After three nights of sitting, Conservative MPs were there, wit-nesses were there, but the NDP critics were not.

The Opposition cried about process because they have nothing use-ful to say.

We know this be-cause we’ve given them an unprecedented amount of time to de-bate the bill and they have had nothing to say at every turn.

- Colin Mayes, is the Member of Parliament for Okanagan-Shus-wap

Daybreak Rotary Club

What a fun event and a great nancial success! Fellow

Rotarians, family, friends and the community all gathered together Saturday, May 26th at the SASCU Recreation Centre for the 9th Annual Lobsterfest. Prime rib and 1.5 pound lobsters, drinks, smiles and dancing to “Cod Gone Wild” was the buzz of the event. You couldn’t ask for more!

This Daybreak Rotary fundraiser will make it possible for the club to support community projects. We are currently working with the City of Salmon Arm and we hope to put in a “spray park” at Blackburn Park.

Fellow Rotarians volunteered six hours of their time to be auctioned off at the festival.

The star attraction!Dave King and Cary Lentz were greeters at the event.

Every spring and fall the Salmon Arm Daybreak Rotarians pick up litter on a 2 km stretch of the Trans Canada Hwy., west of Salmon Arm. This spring, Rotarians, family and friends pitched in to make that stretch of the highway clean again. Tires, lumber, road kill, fast food waste, cigarette butts (yuck) and even a truck box liner were the avours of the day.
