North Shuswap Lumberjacks Extraordinaire

By Jim Cooperman The large crowd gathered in Scotch

Creek behind The Hub on the Canada Day weekend to watch this year’s Timber Day’s events were treated to two extraor-dinary opening acts. Jody Evans, who also produces the very successful logger’s show at Grouse Mtn. held every day of the week, per-formed his stunt high up on a “spar tree,” from which he “fell” while connected to a zip line and lumberjack ex-traordinaire, Carson Bis-choff, “survived” when the outhouse “blew up!” The crowd loved the opening show and they were entranced for all the competition events that followed.

Now a tradition that is nearly four dec-ades old, the North Shuswap Timber Days is one of a series of competitions across North America and the world, with events that pay homage to logging heritage when

the tools were axes and crosscut saws. While many of the competitors are log-gers, the sport is open to all. There are three categories for each event; novice for the beginners, intermediate for those who have had three wins in the novice catego-ry, and open for those who have had three wins in the intermediate category.

One of the most exciting events is the spring-board, where the contestant has to chop a notch in a pole, insert a spring-board that he climbs up to chop another notch until he gets to the top where he has to chop through

the attached pole. You can still find old cedar stumps in Seymour Arm and else-where that have slots from the spring-boards used in the old days to fell trees in order to avoid the massive flared butts.

The world champion for the spring-board event, Mitch Hewitt, who lives in

UNIQUE STONE LANDSCULPTING Scotch Creek, had a lengthy handicap before he could begin and yet he still won the con-test. Mitch travels to Sidney, Austral-ia for the world competition. He married into the North Shuswap legendary pioneer family, the Bis-choffs, who are the founders and the mainstays of the Timber Days Society, which hosts the event every two years. Local businesses sponsor the show by providing cash prizes for the winners and North Shuswap volunteer firemen provide much appreciate assistance.

It takes brute strength and raw tal-ent to perform well at logger’s sports according to Karl Bischoff, who began his career in 1977 at a competition in Salmon Arm. His favourite events in-clude the wood chop, where the tim-berjack stands on the log secured in a steel holder while he chops through it; the cross-cut (or “misery whip” as the old-timers called it) where the sawyer is timed as they cut off a slice; and

noisy “hot saw” where competitors use souped-up power saws to cut off two slices, down and up.

Other events include various power saw competitions, pole climbs, and the axe throws. Over the years, the Timber Days Society has acquired much of the gear used for the sport such as the steel holders for the wood chop and axes and saws. Large poplar trees are felled and prepared for the chopping and sawing competitions.

Just as there are fewer loggers now in the woods, given the advances in high-tech logging equipment, there are fewer people involved in logger’s sports. However, more women are tak-ing up the sport and it was cool to see

the gals sweating it up with the crosscut saws at Timber Days. Also, they had to change the name of the boy’s chop, as there was one very energetic girl swing-ing the axe. No doubt, the North Shuswap Timber Days will go on thrilling audience for many years to come.

...Kick-Back!! By Editor Jo Anne Malpass

Highway 1 shut down between Revelstoke and Golden in both direc-tions for hours, Three serious colli-sions in the span of four days claims three lives and ties up traffic for hours, An accident involving a motor-cycle and a truck near Salmon Arm has closed the eastbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway.

Unfortunately, these have been common headlines during July, and we can expect more fatal accidents and highway closures over the rest of the summer.

The Insurance Corporation of BC reports, from 2012 to 2017, there were an average of 60,000 motor ve-hicle accidents per year in BC result-ing in an injury or fatality. In the Southern Interior, an average of 6,800 per year. During that same time there were an average of 300,000 crashes which didn’t result in injuries, 42,000 in the Southern Interior. In the South-ern Interior there were an average of 9,900 drivers, passengers, pedestrians or cyclists injured due to a motor-vehicle-related crash, 89,000 for the province.

You can't ever be fully protected when you get behind the wheel. But ICBC, in its Quick Statistics Report, says there’s a lot you can do to make better informed decisions.

Distracted driving is responsible for 27% of car crash fatalities in BC. Leave your phone alone—that's a first step to help keep your attention on the road. Any diversion of your attention away from the safe operation of your vehicle, like chatting with passengers, eating or drinking, or adjusting radio or vehicle settings, can contribute to distracted and inattentive driving.

Alcohol-impaired driving contrib-utes to 24% of car crash fatalities in BC. Sadly, each year in B.C., 68 peo-ple die in crashes involving impaired driving. Almost half of those deaths happen during the summer, mean-while other deaths happen during what should be joyous celebrations during the December holidays.

Cannabis impairs both the cogni-tive and motor abilities you use to safely operate a motor vehicle. Can-nabis can also slow your reaction time, slow your ability to make deci-sions, and make it harder for you to split your attention. These are crucial skills on the road. You never know when you may need to react and make a split-second decision on the road that saves a life.

Speeding is one of the leading causes of car crash fatalities in B.C., contributing to 27%. Keep yourself safe by slowing down, keeping your distance and passing with care.

High-risk driving behaviours in-crease our chances of being in a crash. These behaviours include fail-ing to yield, ignoring traffic control devices, following too closely and improper passing.

There are many types of road us-ers from the most protected to the most exposed, a driver, a passenger, a motorcyclist, a cyclist or a pedestrian. There is an average of 1,600 injured cyclists, 5 fatal, each year in BC; 1,600 motorcyclists, 11 fatal, and 2,500 pedestrians, 56 fatal. We all have a role to play in sharing the road safely.

Kids and our Community I'll start this note with an

apology. Last month I men-tioned the excellent turnout for the Captains Village Pok-er Run and they would hand out that money to local non-profits. I've been corrected in that it's the Marina that col-lects the funds on behalf of the North Shuswap Lions who are responsible for the distribution of the proceeds to the local groups. The im-portant thing is that local non-profits reap the benefits of this great annual event, thanks to Captains Village and the NS Lions!

Those proceeds go to groups here to benefit vari-ous aspects of the communi-ty. Without these funds, and our very important communi-ty groups, we would be a much poorer community. One of the population seg-ments in our community that has been under served over the past several years are the children. My daughter is now 14 and she has gone to North Shuswap Elementary since Kindergarten. About 7 years ago the population in the school was around 90 kids and there was concern that our school might be closed if our numbers dropped further. Well, our school is still here and this last year the number of kids was 117! A 30% gain in that 7 years! These kids are the future population of the North Shuswap.

I've noticed more families are moving here. Often one parent works away. Heading to some remote job for a cou-ple of weeks, and then re-

turning to the North Shu for their days off. In the mean-time, their family goes to school, spends money at the businesses, and enjoys the benefits of the North Shu year-round. To date there have been some, but limited, recreation opportunities for kids of any age. I was ap-proached by Paul Demenok, the South Shuswap CSRD director, as he noted that a number of the kids from the North Shu were taking part in activities put on by South Shu organizations.

Paul has been funding the 'North and South Shuswap Community Resources' group and the 'South Shuswap Arts Council' through Grant In Aid money for the past many years. He approached me as there was a small but signifi-cant number of North Shu kids accessing their programs which happen on both the South Shu and North Shu. He felt that I might want to con-tribute, and our discussions centered around fairness and the fact that having programs for kids makes a community more desirable for families, so really, it's an economic development tool. I agreed with that.

The options were to do nothing, to set up a group/society/something on the North Shuswap to mirror these South Shuswap groups, or to join in an already up-and-running successful oper-ation. It made sense to work together. There are a couple of programs already provided on the North Shu, swimming






http://www.shuswaphandyman.com

http://www.nsmasonry.com


BOPPRE DIVING SERVING THE SHUSWAP FOR OVER 30 YEARS lessons in the summer for one. Over

the next couple of years, I anticipate more programs to be developed that will take place in the North Shu.

We agreed that funding would have to be fair as the North Shu had many fewer kids taking part and we felt that basing funding on the percent-age of North Shu vs South Shu kids was a fair way to proceed. Based on 2018 numbers, the North Shuswap share was 13%. This proposal has been supported at the CSRD board and it is now in front of the communi-ty for your approval. Our 13% share based on the 2018 participant numbers equals $4.65 per average North Shus-wap parcel, excluding Seymour Arm. This could go up if more North Shu kids take advantage of the programs.

You, as a North Shuswap resident, have a say in whether this happens. Approval for this bylaw 5798 is being sought through the 'Alternative Ap-proval Process'. Basically, this means that the CSRD anticipates your ap-proval, but if 10% of the eligible elec-tors says this is a bad idea, then the CSRD would have to hold a referen-dum, or the Board could consider to just not move ahead with the idea. In this case, 10% of the eligible electors is 885, of which 214 is the number from the North Shu. If you support the idea there is no need to do anything. If you don’t support this financial contri-bution to this program that I believe is of benefit to our community, you need to submit an Elector Response Form to the CSRD by Wednesday August 21st, 2019 at 4pm. This is your way to object.

So, an Alternate Approval Process (AAP). It is suggested to me that that isn't really the best way to judge the approval of the community. I agree. Though it is one way to gauge the lev-el of resistance to a proposal. The di-lemma here comes down to money. The two ways that can pass a bylaw related to money are by referendum and AAP. A referendum costs up to $30,000 to run. There are ballots to

print, voting places to rent, volunteers to organize, count-ing, advertising and more that goes into a vote of the elec-tors on a bylaw. The AAP in this case is expected to cost about $3000 mainly for advertising. Spending $30,000 for those times when a bylaw needs elector approval, often for an amount less than $30,000, seems like a waste of your tax dollars, as this happens reasonably often, probably 4 or 5 times a year. The AAP is significantly cheaper and if there is enough negative feeling about a proposal to garner 10% of the electorate then the bylaw is put on hold to decide what to do next.

I know, I know, this is just another tax grab by the d*#%^! CSRD. Well, it is and it isn't. The money is going to these groups anyway via Grants in Aid. That reduces the amount available for other groups to provide things like needed repairs to our local buildings (Celista Hall, Lake-view Centre etc.) or the Chamber of Commerce for com-munity beautification (have you noticed the flower boxes in Scotch Creek?) or Canada Day celebrations or.. well you get the idea. By spreading this cost around, we can fund significant and important programs for the children of the North Shuswap at a very small cost per person.

For more information and the Elector Response Form go to the CSRD website and search for Bylaw 5798. You can reach me at [email protected].

Chase RCMP Recover Stolen Vehicles, Seize Illegal Weapons

Chase RCMP Two search warrants executed by

the Chase RCMP have resulted in the seizure of over $300,000 in stolen property and a cache of illegal fire-arms.

On June 21, 2019, Chase RCMP and Natural Resource Officers Service attended a rural property located in the 4000 block of Leopold Road near Scotch Creek, BC to recover stolen Crown timber. At the time four indi-viduals, three adult men and one adult woman, were detained.

During the search police located several vehicles that were confirmed stolen or had the Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) purposefully removed. Vehi-cles with the VIN removed were seized for further inspection to determine their origin.

Officers also found numerous fire-arms, several of which were found to be prohibited, including a Norinco Mak-90 fully automatic rifle, a Sterling Mark 4 Sub Machine gun, a Smith & Wesson revolver with a ground off serial number and a drum magazine, and a firearm fitted within a small suit-case. A mechanism was fashioned so a person holding the suitcase handle could activate a lever that would pull

the trigger shooting the firearm. During this initial search police also

located a stolen loader and other larger items which were unable to be recov-ered at the time. Police returned on June 23, 2019, to recover them.

This investigations was a clear suc-cess for the Chase RCMP, explains Cpl Scott Linklater, Chase RCMP. Not only were we able to work with a part-ner agency to recover property that had been stolen from across British Colum-bia, but we were also able to safely remove a number of illegal firearms

preventing them from potentially being used in future crimes. Vehicles recov-ered are: • A Woodmizer portable saw mill reported stolen to the Salmon Arm RCMP in Sep-tember of 2018 • A 2017 Cargo-

mate trailer reported stolen to the Langley RCMP in January of 2018

• A John Deere 3720 tractor with front end loader reported stolen to the Salmon Arm Detachment in May of 2011

• A 2000 Honda motorcycle reported stolen to the North Okanagan RCMP on June 16th, 2019

• A 2006 Dodge 1500 reported stolen to the Prince George RCMP on June 13th, 2019

• A 2015 Suzuki motorcycle reported (Continued on page 9)

UPDATE: On July 12, the Chase RCMP Detach-ment executed a third Search Warrant at this same proper-ty, recovering a large amount of stolen dog food.

During the previous search on June 21, police noted a suspiciously large amount of Acana and Orijen brand dog and cat food on the property. In the follow-ing days, investigators deter-mined the pet food was relat-ed to a theft reported to the Delta Police Department in April of 2019. Hundreds of bags of dog and cat food was recovered during the search with a total value of $12,700.00.

No charges have been laid in this matter at this time and the investigation is on-going. A report to BC Prose-cution Services will be sub-mitted for consideration of applicable charges.

First Nation Roadblock Continues at Turtle Valley

By Jo Anne Malpass Members of Secwépemc

Nation Sacred councils are continuing to block Arrow Transportation Inc from deliv-ering Class B biosolids from the City of Kamloops sewage treatment plant to a Turtle Valley Bison Ranch.

A previous roadblock or-ganized by the Turtle Valley Against Biosolids group oper-ated from April 29 to May 18, when an injunction was grant-ed to stop “occupying, ob-structing, blocking, physically impeding or delaying access to, at or in the vicinity of the area in and around the inter-section between Turtle Valley Road and English Road.”

Secwépemc Elders Sacred Fire and Women’s Sacred Fire report on Facebook they have stopped Arrow from delivering biosolids. “They are not permitted around our

sacred fire and no means no! Sacred fire councils have full authority for protection of people water land and chil-dren in Secwépemc’ulecw! Turtle Valley needs protect-ing, and we call upon all Secwépemc to stand with the Sacred Fire Elders and Wom-en’s Councils in protecting our water for future genera-tions.”

Arrow was contracted by the City of Kamloops to haul away the city’s biosolids stockpile. Turtle Valley Bison Ranch 2019/20 Biosolids Land Application Plan (LAP) says “up to 35,000 bt (bulk tonnes) of City of Kamloops biosolids will be received at the Turtle Valley Bison Ranch and blended with mineral soils sourced from the site prior to placement” on a 31-hectare, recently logged, por-tion of the bison ranch.

CSRD Directors Support Increase to Maximum

Dock Sizes CSRD Release

The maximum size for docks on a number of Shus-wap-area lakes, including Shuswap, Mara and White Lakes, is set to change after further consideration by Co-lumbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) Directors at the Thursday, July 18 Board meeting.

Previously, the CSRD’s Lakes Zoning Bylaw set the surface area of a dock at 24 square metres, not including the walkway, which is not limited in length.

CSRD staff had initially recommended this bylaw be changed so residential docks would be limited to 30 square metres. Following public consultation, which included a survey filled out by more than 300 people and public hearing, as well as sampling of the average dock sizes in the area, staff recommended adding an additional two square metres to the maxi-mum allowable dock size. This would have increased the maximum surface area of docks to 32 square metres.

Discussion among Direc-tors at the Board table led to an amendment to further in-crease the dock size to 33.45 square metres (360 square feet) to assist the construction industry, which often works with imperial measurements.

As part of the planned changes to the bylaw, minor increases were also made to the width of a dock and the width of walkways used to access it.

Upon final bylaw approv-al, docks in the Foreshore Park Zone, which would in-clude CSRD parks, will be allowed to be a maximum of 40 square metres.

The Board approved third reading of Lakes Zoning Amendment Bylaw 900-25 with the amendment and it will now be sent to the Minis-try of Transportation and In-frastructure for statutory ap-proval before returning to the Board for final adoption. More information on this bylaw is available on the CSRD’s website, www.csrd.bc.ca, at the Cur-rent Planning page.

committed to being a part of the community. All the changes they are making at Anglemont Estates Golf Course are geared to helping to strengthen the economy of the North Shuswap, and to welcoming the people of the community and area guests to their establishment. They appreciate the community support and are happy to give back to the community not just with services, but also through donations to charity events such as the Poker Run.

Whether you are a golfer, non-golfer, local or tourist, check out Anglemont Estates Golf Course. It has some-thing for everyone. Stop by, give them a call, and check out their Facebook page to see what events are upcom-ing!

The Kicker would like to thank Craig, Shantelle and Anglemont Estates Golf Course for their continued advertising support. We wish this local business con-tinued success with its new ventures.

Possession of Stolen Vehicle

On July 3, Chase RCMP Members attended a rural property in the 8500 block of Skimikin Road in Turtle Valley, BC. Police located a grey Mazda 3 which had been reported stolen to the Salmon Arm RCMP Detach-ment a week prior. Police ar-rested a 32-year-old male for possession of the stolen ve-hicle. He was later released on a Promise to Appear in Court. A report to BC Prose-cution Services is being sub-mitted for charge considera-tion.

MV Collision On July 4 at 11:55 am, the Chase RCMP Detach-ment responded to a report of a motor vehicle collision occurring on the Trans Can-

ada Highway near Hoff-man’s Bluff. Police deter-mined a Chevrolet Truck towing a boat on a trailer was stopped on the shoulder of the highway. A Motorhome had stopped on the shoulder behind the truck and boat, both vehicles off the travel portion of the westbound lanes. A west-bound grey colored Toyota Corolla struck the front of the parked motorhome be-fore running into the boat and trailer. The boat and trailer were required to be towed from the area due to damage. No injuries were sustained. The driver of the Corolla was issued a Viola-

saw at a residence on Squi-lax Anglemont Road in Scotch Creek, BC. The com-plainant reported waking to find an acquaintance stand-ing over him with a chain-saw to his neck. Police spoke with several people at the location and determined that several individuals had been drinking alcohol throughout the night. Police found that an argument en-sued between two males however there was insuffi-cient evidence to determine that the chainsaw had been used to threaten anyone. The involved parties worked out their differences the follow-ing day when sober. As such no charges will be pursued in matter.

Assaults in Chase On July 17 at 2:55 pm, the Chase RCMP Detach-ment received a report of an assault occurring at the Me-morial Park in Chase, BC. An unknown male pushed a man while in the bathroom.

a report of a male assaulting another male at the Home Hardware on Shuswap Ave-nue, Chase BC. Witnesses followed the man until po-lice located and arrested him.

As the man was receiving medical care, both victims declined to pro-ceed with these matters.

Stolen Vehicle On July 23, the Chase RCMP Detachment received a report of a theft of a black four door 1999 Volkswagon Golf. The vehicle had been left parked near Neskonlith Lake prior to being stolen. The vehicle has not been re-covered.

www.northshuswapbc.com - 250-320-2012

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer. So far, the weather has been cooperating, although I’m sure many wish we have had hotter weather, I am personally happy to have a smoke free summer thus far!

This hasn’t stopped the tourists from coming out and enjoying what the beautiful North Shuswap has to offer. It’s nice to see the hustle and bustle in and around our com-munity.

The chamber weekend summer Festival was a hit with a massive turn out to the logger show, making it hard to find a parking spot! The following day featured a few business kiosks, kids’ games and music. It was unfortunate we had a couple key cancella-tions on Sunday with the in-digenous dancers and story telling. It was a disappoint-ment for many as we were looking forward to these events. Hopefully next year we can fulfill these!

The chamber applied and received a grant in aid for a student community ambassa-dor. Mercedes Settle comes from a town up North called Fraser Lake but moved to Chase, where she currently has lived for over 3 years. She graduated on June 21st with District Honours and was vot-ed as one of two Valedictori-ans by her peers. She is cur-rently our Community Am-bassador for the North Shus-wap Chamber of Commerce. She wanted a job that would train her to use her public speaking abilities as well as help keep her learning as she prepares for university this September at TRU. She will be taking a Bachelor of Arts degree to prepare to one day be a theatrical or fine arts and

history or possibly English teacher.

Mercedes works 3-4 days a week and you can find her in the Hub at our mini visitor station or out and about in the community. Her primary role is to be a friendly face in our community for people to ask her questions about the area or help assist tourists in activ-ities, lodging or events. Thank you, Mercedes for being our Community Ambassador.

We would like everyone to look for and or make sug-gestions for new business opportunities in the North Shuswap. Opportunities are all around us...little or big it’s what creates a system. It’s up to all of us to make this com-munity thrive.

Joining the chamber is a great way to get your business noticed and have like minded people assist you with net-working and building your company.

Join us again starting in September for our monthly meetings which are held the last Monday of each month at various locations around the Shuswap. Even if you’re not a member it doesn’t matter, get out and meet new people. Maybe it will inspire you!

This fall we will be work-ing on creating workshops that involve business plan-ning, investor opportunities and funding options. Our fo-cus will be on creating new business opportunities and to help those succeed in their future endeavours.

Looking forward to anoth-er fantastic year in our com-munity, hope to see you at the next meeting. Stay tuned for September Kicker issue for date and time.

By Jo Anne Malpass Water advisories were issued by the Adams Lake Indian

Band at the end of July for Sandy Point Campground, Pierre’s Point Campground, and Glen Echo Campground on the South Shuswap.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) reports that the water in those three areas has been deemed unsafe for swimming or recreation at this time due to high levels of E.Coli bacteria, which may pose a risk to health.

The Adams Lake Indian Band released a statement saying it “was recently made aware of high levels of E. Coli bacteria which poses a health risk within the waters of our Territory. The first Nations Health Authority has conducted its tests and informed the Adams Lake Indian Band of its findings.

After assessments of the situation were determined, the Adams Lake Indian Band is now working toward the mitiga-tion of all environmental issues affecting the people, land, waters, wildlife and fish within our territory. We have mobilized resources such as engineering, contrac-tors and the First Nations Health authori-ty to ensure that our natural resources will be protected for future generations to come.”

The CSRD statement says it remains safe to swim at the CSRD's Sandy Beach, Pebble Beach and Sunnybrae Beach.

“Interior Health conducts weekly water tests at these sites and the CSRD has not received any reports from Interior Health that there are concerns with water safety at any of those three CSRD sites.”

Should the CSRD hear differently from Interior Health, it will notify the public immediately through its website or social media platforms.

Chase Council Turns Down OCP Amendment Application

Village of Chase Highlights Chase Village Council

voted to terminate any fur-ther consideration of an Offi-cial Community Plan amend-ment application put forward by the owners of 950 Hysop Road, after a large number of Chase residents attended the July 9 regular meeting.

The amendment applica-tion was for a change in land use designation from ‘Parks and Open Space’ to ‘General Residential’ on a 2.96 ha piece of property (formerly part of Sunshore Golf Course).

The Village of Chase re-port of the meeting says that during the public input ses-sion on items on the agenda, several people spoke about their opposition to any devel-opment occurring on 950 Hysop Road, citing that the public walk on the lands, that birds and other creatures use the lands as a sanctuary and that the lands are in a flood plain. Concerns were raised about how much the taxpay-er's might in future have to pay if the lands were devel-oped and then flooded, and that previous Councils have turned down any develop-ment on the lands. The pro-posal before Council was to consider putting the OCP amendment bylaw to a public hearing.

The staff report to council recommended giving first and second readings of the bylaw and submitting it to a public hearing saying the best way to hear from all those who consider their in-terests affected is to allow the application to proceed, initiate the referral process and hold a public hearing.

In history/background,

the staff report says the sub-ject property was created through subdivision in June of 2005 and the property has been held by Shawnessy En-terprises Ltd. since then. As a condition of that subdivision, the Village required the own-er to register a restrictive covenant to fulfill the Land Title Act requirement for public access to water. Then in July of the same year, Council adopted a zoning amendment bylaw to remove campground use from the property, thus restricting the use of the land to ‘golf course’ exclusively. In April of 2006 the owner applied for a zoning amendment to permit a 20-lot recreation vehicle campground, which was defeated. The owner took legal action against the Village for ‘downzoning’ the property, but the court dis-missed that petition. In June of 2017, the owner brought an application for amend-ments to both the Official Community Plan and zoning, looking for residential land uses in anticipation of a 19-lot low-density single-family dwelling development. Council defeated both by-laws and residential land uses were not achieved. The lands currently exist in a va-cant natural vegetative condi-tion.

On May 21, 2019, the owner brought a new appli-cation for amendments to both the OCP and zoning bylaws, looking now for ap-propriate resident land use designations in anticipation of a 17-lot low-density single-family dwelling develop-ment.

Village of Chase July 9 Council Meeting Highlight Report:

Sgt. Barry Kennedy spoke to Council and reviewed his bi-annual report, citing infor-mation on numbers and types of calls dealt with by the Chase Detachment over the past year (April 2018 to April 2019). He shared with Coun-cil the number of members at the detachment and some of the programs they are work-ing on, such as bike patrols and youth programs.

Rhonda Eden addressed Council to explain the Thompson Region Division of Family Practice (TRDFP) community visioning and engagement process and the results of that engagement in the Chase area. She ex-plained that all input is shared with the local family practice physicians who are members of TRDFP. By en-hancing communication, the purpose is to ensure that fam-ily practitioners are able to provide the best possible ser-vice to those in their care.

Council passed a resolu-tion to approve a variance to the Village's Zoning Bylaw for a proposed development at 220 Shepherd Road which reduces the rear parcel set-back from the property line.

Council considered sever-al letters from the City of Richmond regarding resolu-

tions pertaining to more transparency for statements of disclosure for elected offi-cials, to create a conflict of interest complaint mecha-nism for local government in BC, to recover climate change costs from companies that produce fossil fuels and to regular lobbying of munic-ipal governments in BC. All these letters were received as information.

Council considered a re-quest from the Adams Lake Indian Band for funds to sup-port an Elders Golf Tourna-ment - Council denied the request based on a previous similar request decision.

Council passed a resolu-tion to allow use of the Com-munity Hall at no cost for the fundraiser being organized in memory of Rob Johnson.

Council passed a resolu-tion to write a letter of sup-port for the newly created Chase Community Services Society in their efforts to se-cure funding for the opera-tion of a medical shuttle for Chase and area.

Council passed a resolu-tion to receive the invitation from Fortis BC for nomina-tions for an award for safety, environmentalism and indig-enous people's initiatives.

The next regular meeting of Council will be held on August 13, 2019 starting at 4:00 p.m.

Community Mailboxes Vandalized

By Jo Anne Malpass Cpl. Scott Linklater has

confirmed Chase RCMP re-ceived seven reports of thefts from community mailboxes since the middle of June, from locations in Turtle Valley to Magna Bay.

The community mailboxes involved were at English Rd and Squilax Turtle Valley Rd on June 17, 3877 Squilax An-glemont Rd on June 19, Leo-pold Rd and Squilax Angle-mont Rd on June 19, 440 Squilax Anglemont Rd on June 21, 8601 Skimikin Rd on July 5, 3877 Squilax Angle-mont Rd (a second time) on July 9 and Davis Rd and Squi-lax Anglemont Rd on July 15.

“It is unknown what may have been taken as we cannot confirm whether there was mail in the affected boxes at the time. We can only assume

that at least some mail was stolen. Surveillance video in the area of some of these loca-tions unfortunately does not capture the mailboxes nor did it capture the suspects.”

Canada Post Media Rela-tions responded to our inquiry saying “We can confirm that several incidents of vandalism have occurred at community mailbox sites over the past several months, and recently across the North Shuswap region. From the time an inci-dent is reported, it takes from two to three weeks for the site to be repaired or replaced and for normal mail delivery to resume. Notices are posted at the site to inform residents of the incident and to indicate where they can temporarily pick up their mail. A piece of government-issued photo ID is



mandatory to pick up the mail.

As these incidents are under investigation, we can-not comment further or pro-vide specific details.”

At most of the locations where the vandalism occurred mailboxes have been replaced with a new model. The mail-boxes have new design com-ponents, like heavy-duty locks, that make compart-ments even more secure and a wider design so large mail (such as magazines) lay flat. Customers can pick up their new keys at Chase Post Of-fice.

“Your new community mailbox will be at the same location as the current one, but your mailbox number may have changed. You can find your new compartment and module number on the key envelope label when you pick up your keys from the Chase Post Office. You will need to show proof of identity and proof of residence to pick up your new keys. Your key envelope will contain three keys to your new mailbox.”

If you have any ques-tions, please contact Canada Post customer service net-work at 1-800-267-1177 or visit canadapost.ca

The Chase RCMP De-tachment is asking that any-one with any information

regarding this investigation, or any other crime, to contact the Chase Detachment at (250) 679-3221 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. If you see an overturned or vandalized street mailbox, report immediately to the RCMP and call Canada Post at 1-800-267-1177.

To help protect your mail from identity fraud, Canada Post recommends you collect your mail daily. If you’ll be away, use the Hold Mail ser-vice to suspend delivery until you return. Shred documents that contain personal financial information, such as state-ments and credit card offers before throwing them away. Never send cash in the mail. Deposit your mail close to the scheduled pickup time posted on the mailbox. Deposit mail items containing sensitive or financial information at your local post office, as well as large quantities of mail. Cus-tomers concerned about iden-tity fraud should contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

We are now at the mid-point of the summer, but this year there has been more of the cooler temperatures mixed with rain showers. This is a good thing in terms of a heavy start to the wildfire season.

This could change very quickly with a small change in the weather that will drive up the fire danger rat-ing, so please don’t let your guard down. Extinguish all smoking materi-als properly (NO cigarette butts out the car window), fully put out your campfire with lots of water and stir-ring the fire pit, and don’t have a campfire on a windy day. At the time of writing, campfires are permitted (1/2 meter by 1/2 meter) but that could change quickly so please ob-serve the B.C. wildfire web site for current notices.

The CSRD has received a grant from the provincial government to apply towards the FireSmart Canada program. At the end of June, many fire dept. members took a two day course to become Local FireSmart Representatives (LFR’s). The home-owners can now go onto the CSRD web site and fill out a simple request form to have a LFR contact them and arrange a time to come to their prop-erty to do a full Structure and Site Hazard Assessment. This will give the homeowner a present score rating, and then discuss different ways to lower the rating and make their home and property FireSmart, and more pre-pared for a wildfire incident. This service is free and I highly encourage property owners to take advantage of this great opportunity. The LFR that you request for a site visit can show you what you need to do, and even just a couple of small changes on a structure and area around it can make a huge improvement to be more wild-fire resistive. We are also looking for individuals who would be interested in becoming Community Champions to organize a neighbourhood FireSmart program, in which the LFR

can help them to make their street and neighbourhood FireSmart.

Training is going great and all three fire depts. are practicing with in house training to keep the skills sharp. The fall training cal-endar is now being created, and we are waiting to see what courses are available.

It has been quiet for call outs for all three depts. Scotch Creek/Lee Creek FD had one call for a gas leak but turned out to be just a leaking container of paint thinner, and another was a burning complaint. Celista FD was called out a couple of times, one for a false alarm and another for smoke chasing with nothing found. Anglemont FD got called to assist in locating a landing zone for a medivac helicopter.

Anglemont Fire Dept. had an Open House and Pan-cake Breakfast on July 13 and would like to thank the community members who

attended this great event. It was well received by the public with fun activities for the kids.

Scotch Creek / Lee Creek FD and Celista FD attended the Loggers Sports Show to help with the cleanup of the wood chips and sawdust. A special fun event that the SC/LC FD members did in the end of June was a raft trip down Adams River followed by a BBQ, and it was a great bonding experience. All three Fire Depts. do need more members of the com-munity to join our great team. All the training is free and you even get paid to be a fire dept. member. Also, you don’t have to be a front-line firefighter, there are lots of support rolls to fill. Come and check it out by coming down to any one of the fire halls on a practice night (Tuesdays 7:00 to 9:00 PM), or contact the Fire Chief (phone numbers are in Clubs & Organizations page of the Kicker) of the fire dept. in the area where you live.

Shuswap Trail Alliance Removes Invasive Irises

Shuswap Trail Alliance Peek into the exciting

lives of our trail crew, as a few of us took a break from the regular schedule of trail building and maintenance to help address the invasive Yellow Flag Iris infestation on Turner Creek in Salmon Arm.

We removed over 3,000 lbs of irises from the pond and will be back later in the season to continue the work downstream - stay tuned if you'd like to come help out and play in the mud! With continued management and eventual planting of native species in future years, this ecosystem will be much healthier!

Trail Notices and Clo-sures:

Scotch Creek/Hlina Lookout - Be aware of ma-chinery and FSR traffic on Scotch Creek-Hlina West FS Road, which forms part of the Scotch Creek/Hlina Lookout trail, as the BC

Timber Sales begins its de-activation of this road mid July. The deactivation will maintain non-motorized trail user access on the sec-tion of the road that makes up part of the trail, however all users should be aware and stay a safe distance from workers.

All Trails - it's starting to feel like fire season! Please keep an eye out for fire risks and refrain from smoking on any trails. Stick-flickers (we love you!), when you're flicking sticks and debris off the trail al-ways disperse that material and keep it low to the ground to avoid building up piles of dry fuel beside the trail. Report any issues and big stuff to [email protected], and check out Fire Smart tips at the CSRD web page, "FireSmart in the CSRD".

For further notices, check specific trails at Shuswap Trails.

Smiling trail crew faces near the start of the weed pull at the Turner Creek pond. The crew was pulling Yellow Flag Iris, the shorter and much denser shoreline plants behind Nathan and Mirella in this photo in contrast with the native cattails on the left-hand side. Yellow Flag Iris outcompetes native species that are essential for bird and turtle species in this kind of ecosystem, and clog up ditches and streams. Trail Alliance photo

Every mid-July I look to see the total number of MLS Listings in the North Shuswap. It’s another indicator of the local market.

In times past I found as many as 330 properties listed for sale in mid-July. In the last few years the number has been much lower and closer to 200 than 300. In mid-January the number is often under 100.

This year the mid-July number is 152. Sellers continue to back off and are holding for better times. Buyers want more selection to look at.

CSRD Forges Ahead with FireSmart Program

CSRD Release In the aftermath of a wild-

fire, there can seem to be no reason why one house may be burnt to the ground, while another remains standing. But research from past wildfires events has provided infor-mation as to why some struc-tures ignite while others don’t.

Applying FireSmart prin-ciples to improve the area in and around your home can greatly reduce the threat of wildfires to your home and property. That’s why the Co-lumbia Shuswap Regional

District (CSRD) recently re-ceived a $100,000 grant from the Union of BC Municipali-ties' Community Resiliency Fund to spend on a region-wide wildfire threat mitigation and education campaign.

This year-long initiative is designed to help residents take stock of their properties and identify ways to reduce their fire risk. The CSRD has pro-vided some resources online and is encouraging all CSRD Electoral Area residents to take a look at the documents which guide homeowners through a self-assessment of their risk factors and what can be done to reduce wildfire risk.

FireSmart information will be provided at various com-

munity events in all CSRD Electoral Areas, including upcoming Open Houses at local CSRD Fire Halls.

Also being offered as part of this program is the oppor-tunity to have a free home assessment conducted by a trained Local FireSmart Rep-resentative in your neighbour-hood.

The Local FireSmart Rep-resentative will conduct a pro-fessional evaluation of the property and make recommen-dations on how to reduce fire risk. The person conducting

the assessments will not carry out any of the recommended work associated with the as-sessment. It is the responsibil-ity of private property owners to undertake any desired im-provements to their own resi-dences or land.

All FireSmart assessments are subject to the availability of a representative in your area and the overall budget for assessments. The assessment is for the use of the homeown-er only and cannot be used in any other manner.

If you would like to put your name down for a free FireSmart assessment or get more information, go to www.csrd.bc.ca under the “FireSmart in the CSRD” tab and register online.

TV sets are not comput-ers! Although most modern TV’s can connect to the In-ternet directly and so can do certain things like access Youtube and Netflix, they still pale in comparison to what your laptop, tablet or smartphone can do.

Over the past few years, TV capabilities have im-proved and will continue to do so which is fine if you are OK buying a new TV every few years to keep up. Most of us however, have perfectly good TV’s that we have no intention of replacing until they stop working, which could be years from now. In this article, we’ll talk about a cheap and easy way to turn your current TV into a wire-less extension of your laptop, tablet or smartphone. It’s called ‘casting’.

Many of our current TV sets can do various things depending on where ‘Smart TV’ technology was when you bought it, and that also varies depending on which brand you have. Where our computers, tablets and smartphones all basically work the same, our TV’s are all over the place as far as what they can do over the Internet. That’s partly be-cause TV’s were never de-signed for Internet use. They were originally designed to connect to a TV receiver which was in turn connected to a satellite dish or to a cable from your TV provider. It was not until the last five years or so where TV’s be-came ‘smart’ and started to provide connections to the Internet.

One thing howev-er, that all TV’s made since the mid 2000’s have in common are HDMI inputs. HDMI is an interface that carries both digital audio and video. Casting devices use one of your HDMI inputs to turn your TV into an exten-sion of your computing de-vice through your home WiFi router. The devices are small, cheap and portable so you can take it with you to use on any TV in any location that has WiFi. They can also be used for casting music to your stereo. Many stereo sys-tems include HDMI inputs for home theatre and one of those can be used. You can also purchase an inexpensive HDMI to RCA convertor for those that have standard RCA type connectors.

My favorite casting de-vice is the Google Chromecast. It’s been around for a few years so is support-ed by almost all computing devices including Windows PC’s, Apple PC’s, Android and Apple mobile devices as well as the Google voice as-sistant.

The Google Chromecast is quite small and easily port-able. It’s also very affordable and is available at many elec-tronics stores for around $50 or less. I take one with me when I travel so I can watch Netflix on a big screen in-stead of my laptop or worse, my iPhone.

If you would like more info about casting devices or some help getting hooked up at the cabin, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Cannabis Facility Just Waiting for License to Produce

By Jo Anne Malpass Citation Growth Corp. (formerly Liht Cannabis Corp.) is

just waiting for its license to produce from Health Canada before it completes the planned ten - 10,000 sq. ft bio-secure cannabis facilities on Garland Road in Celista, Citation CEO Rahim Mohamed told the Kicker.

With two buildings already constructed, Mohamed said “we have to stage our facility out so that we can qualify for getting our license to produce. If we start on our third build-ing, they will not come out to inspect until the third building is complete. We’re trying to get our license secured before we start our second phase of expansion.”

“Each building costs us $5 to $6 million. The hvac sys-tem alone is $2 million. And we just don’t want to take that financial risk until we have the LP.”

He explained the hold up is that Health Canada is backed up right now with appli-cations and so it could still be another 90 to 100 days. Health Canada was supposed to release a number of licenses in January and February, but they put a moratorium on it and didn’t release any until May. In May 2018, the Agricultural Land Com-mission amended its regulation so that all forms of cannabis production, including concrete floor facilities, are now deemed a “farm use”. With this change, the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District also changed its policy. Because it had already gone through the process of changing its design, “we’re actually not going to build cement floors on the next eight. We will be using the moveable buildings.” Piles will be put 8 feet into the ground and then wood panels will be installed and then epoxy applied to the wood structure. “It’s better for us because the buildings go up twice as fast as with concrete and as well, any time down the line we need to move our facility, we can tear the build-ings down and move them.” “We are definitely progressing,” he said, and the second phase will begin as soon as the license to produce is received.

CSRD July Board Meeting The Columbia Shuswap

Regional District Board agreed, at it’s July meeting, to amend its Cannabis Business Related Policy A-71 to pro-vide consistency with the lat-est Agricultural Land Reserve regulations.

Since the time that Policy A-71 was adopted, staff have been busy dealing with nu-merous inquiries, licence noti-fications, Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) applications, and building permit applica-tions pertaining to cannabis related businesses.

In the CSRD context, pro-vincial Agricultural Land Re-serve (ALR) regulations for cannabis production have been especially significant since ALR land is a desirable place to locate cannabis pro-duction facilities. From July 13, 2018 to February 22, 2019, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) only con-sidered cannabis grown en-tirely in the native soil to be considered “farm use”. This regulation resulted in several proponents of cannabis pro-duction facilities in the CSRD needing to apply for ALC non-farm use permission. A May 8, 2019 information bulletin from the ALC provided clari-ty that this regulation had been amended and that all forms of cannabis production are now deemed a “farm use”–meaning that concrete floor facilities no longer re-quire non-farm use permis-sion.

The amendment also clari-fies separation and setback distances from other buildings or public places. For example, the 300 m minimum separa-tion distance from cannabis production facilities was changed to 100 m, as a buffer from public places (schools, parks, public beaches, or oth-

er public meeting spaces) and residential dwellings. Correspondence from Ca-nadian Wildlife Service - The Board discussed a letter from Blair Hammond, Re-gional Director of the Canadi-an Wildlife Service regarding early engagement on the ap-proach to developing the fed-eral Grizzly Bear Manage-ment Plan. The Grizzly Bear was listed as a species of spe-cial concern under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) in June 2018. The Manage-ment Plan for Grizzly Bear in Canada will be an overarch-ing federal document that describes voluntary manage-ment practices, broad strate-gies and conservation measures for this species across its range in Canada. The Plan will be developed in close collaboration with the appropriate provinces, territo-ries, and Indigenous organiza-tions. Protection of Mountain Caribou - The Board dis-cussed a letter from the Min-istry of Forests, Lands, Natu-ral Resource Operations and Rural Development in re-sponse to a letter from Chair Martin regarding Crown land closures and protection of mountain caribou. David Muter, Executive Director at the Ministry of FLNRORD has accepted an invitation to attend a future Board meeting to discuss Mountain Caribou. “In your letter you empha-sized the importance of in-cluding the perspective of local governments and com-munity members before deci-sions are made on the draft Intergovernmental Partner-ship Agreement for the South-ern Mountain Caribou Central Group and the draft Section 11 Agreement.

sure you this is our intent and that we are gathering and considering all feed-back to inform our efforts on caribou recovery.” Electronic Submissions Policy A-73 - The CSRD currently accepts Alternative Approval Process (AAP) Elector Re-sponse Forms in the paper format only and delivered to the CSRD by mail or in person to the CSRD office. This policy was brought forward to allow for AAP Elector Response Forms to be delivered to the CSRD by email for all future AAP initiatives. Citing concerns with fraud or tampering, a majority of the Board defeated the introduction of this policy. Grant-in-Aid - Area F $2,907 North & South Shuswap Community Resources (operating support). Saratoga Waterworks Service Area Amendment Bylaw - The Copper Is-land RV Park property owners have requested their property located at 4162 Squilax Anglemont Road be connected to the Saratoga Water System. The Board supported three readings of the bylaw for the inclusion of the property into the service area. The bylaw requires approval of the Inspector of Municipali-ties.

The CSRD received a grant in 2018 from the General Strategic Priorities Fund for $1.486 million dollars to facili-tate the connection of this property to the Saratoga Waterworks. The current Saratoga Waterworks Service Area bor-ders this property and after the grant funded upgrades are made, the system will have the capacity to accommodate additional connections. All connection costs have been determined and agreed to by the property owners and a success-ful public assent process was completed

on July 5, 2019. Electoral Areas C, E & F: Lakes Zon-ing Amendment - The CSRD was pro-posing to amend the Lakes Zoning By-law No. 900 to increase the maximum allowable size of docks and walkways. Following a public hearing, staff pro-posed to amend the bylaw to increase the total upward facing surface area of a floating or fixed dock in foreshore resi-dential zones from 24 m2 to 32 m2. The Board further amended this to 33.45 m2. The Board approved third reading as amended and the bylaw will now be sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for statutory approval Development Variance Permit - As part of the bylaw amendment applica-tion (BL800-31) to rebuild a garage that burned down at 6346 Squilax-Anglemont Road, the proposed building required a variance to front and side parcel setbacks. A variance to the maxi-mum gross floor area and the height was also required. The Board approved the issuance of the permit. The applicant is also proposing a site-specific amend-ment to the RS zone to increase the per-mitted parcel coverage. The Board ap-proved third reading and adopted the amendment.

Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Zoning Amendment (Mosher) - The owners at 3740 Ancient Creek Lane in Scotch Creek are applying to amend the zone of the Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Zoning Bylaw No. 825 from MU – Mixed Use to R1 – Residential – 1. This will con-tinue to allow a single-family dwelling or standalone residential campsite as a principal use for the subject property but will not permit the commercial principal uses that are listed in the MU zone. The Board approved third reading and adopt-ed the amendment.

Community Benefits Agreements Won’t Actually

Help Communities

By Greg Kyllo MLA for Shuswap

The federal government recently made a major fund-ing announcement of high-way improvements in Brit-ish Columbia. Here in the Shuswap, we’re grateful for the coming four-lane up-grades to the Trans-Canada Highway between Ford Road and Tappen Valley Road as well as replacement of the highway bridge in Tappen, but the lack of par-ticipation from the BC NDP government concerns me.

Typically, these infra-structure upgrades are done in partnership between both levels of government, so the NDP’s absence at the an-nouncement was dishearten-

ing. It was made clear for all to see that the relationship between John Horgan and Ottawa has deteriorated to an unprecedented level. Pro-jects such as these have to be coordinated with the pro-vincial government— but considering the way John Horgan and the NDP have constantly provoked the fed-eral government, especially over the pipeline expansion, it seems Ottawa just can’t trust Horgan to work collab-oratively.

Meanwhile John Hor-gan’s new labour scheme, the so-called Community Benefits Agreement (CBA), may have been the final nail in the coffin for this pro-


http://www.longridgelodge.com

ject’s provincial funding. Despite their name,

Community Benefits Agreements serve only to benefit a small group of Horgan’s hand-picked un-ions while putting pressure on private sector construc-tion companies and con-tractors. They are little more than a payback— with taxpayer dollars— to the building trades unions who have donated millions to the NDP since 2005.

The Highway One ex-pansion at Illecillewaet, a project that does have pro-vincial funding, is the first to use a CBA with costs already increased by $22.3 million, an overrun could have funded 223 units of affordable housing. At the end of the day, the federal government is only contrib-

uting $15.5 million towards the Illecillewaet project, no matter how much costs balloon under the NDP. With Ottawa refusing to buy Horgan’s spin on his union pay-off, British Co-lumbians are on the hook for the rest of what is cur-rently an $85.2 million pro-ject.

Despite affordability concerns across the prov-ince, the NDP have intro-duced 19 new or increased taxes since taking power and are now making us all foot the bill for their union payback. It is no wonder why the federal govern-ment is acting alone and funding B.C. projects with-out mention of CBAs. No-body believes Community Benefits Agreements actu-ally benefit communities.

Quaaout "Where the sun’s rays first touch the land"

Submitted by Michael Collins Sales & Marketing Manager

The Quaaout Lodge and Spa and Talking Rock Golf Resort is the flagship property and pride and joy of the Little Shuswap Indian Band. The Resort was built with the man-date to provide employment opportunities for lo-cal community members, to share the local culture and indigenous history of the area, and de-signed with a vision to honor and re-flect the beauty of the natural surround-ings.

Nestled on the forested shores of Little Shuswap Lake, the Quaaout Lodge and Spa is a hidden gem with a serene private sandy beach front and picturesque mountain vistas. The Resort has undergone a number of renovations over its 27 years of operation. The deci-sion was made to proceed with another round of enhancements beginning with the renovation of the Resort's rooms wing in 2019.

Kelowna based design firm Hatch Interior Design won the bid for the re-design contract through demonstrating an adept understanding of the design goals laid out by the Resort. An effort was made to utilize local Shuswap con-tractors under the direction of general contractor Launch Construction. Hatch proposed a redesign with elements in-spired by the unrivaled

beauty of the natural landscape, a color palette that mirrors the rich blues and greens of Little Shuswap Lake, rich accent fabrics that pay homage to ani-mal hides, and textiles that offer refer-ence to woven baskets used for gather-ing. Each element, a representation of the Secwepemc people and region, a subtle nod to the water, forest, land and culture brought together at the Resort.

Water was a recurring inspirational theme for the flooring choices with the top floor hallway mirroring the lake surface shimmer of emerald and tur-quoise, the 2nd floor hallway plunges into a deeper blue hue, and the ground floor resting with the deep brown and grey of the lake floor; with a dual reference to the forest and the people. The guestroom carpeting continues the water theme with soft grey patterned tones evoking a sense of calming move-ment reminiscent of the gentle surface currents of the nearby Adam's River.

Throughout each guest room medi-um and light wood tones add a touch of warmth drawing inspira-tion from both cozy wooded for-ests and the lus-cious fur coat of the coyote that roam them. Texture plays a key role in the room with key features such as woven head-(Continued on page 37)

Room décor features original print reproductions by a Little Shus-wap Lake band member and photos of landscapes adorn the walls of each guest room adding a personal touch to each space. Live edge wood furni-ture emblazoned with representations of pictographs, famous to the region, bring a sense of natural warmth to each room.

The next phase of modernized redesign is slated for 2020 with a continued emphasis on expressing the heritage of the local Secwepemc people and the natural elements of the region.

BC Government Bulletins In response to a significant

landslide discovered between June 21 and 23, 2019 in a nar-row portion of the Fraser River near Big Bar, just north of Lillooet, B.C., a unified com-mand incident management team was established.

Fisheries and Oceans Cana-da, the Government of B.C. and local First Nations are working to ensure Fraser River chinook, steelhead, coho and sockeye can navigate past the Big Bar slide to their spawning grounds.

Based on the magnitude of the partial obstruction, several salmon species that are a sig-nificant conservation concern need to pass through the area. Species include Spring/Summer Chinook, Early Stuart Sockeye, Early Summer Sock-eye and Summer Run Sockeye.

Officials learned of the Big Bar Landslide in late June. After examining satellite im-agery, data indicates the slide may have occurred in late Oc-tober or early November.

A July 20 update on pro-gress states an off channel holding pond is being con-structed to assist in the process of transferring fish to a safe area upstream of the slide loca-tion. Once constructed, the fish will swim into the created channel, through a fish weir and into the holding pond dug into the sand bar. A fish weir is a one-way gate-like structure that allows the fish to swim through in order to reach the pond but prevents the fish from swimming back out. From the pond, fish will be transferred with nets into aluminum fish transfer tanks. These tanks will then be attached via tether lines to helicopters to move the fish above the landslide loca-tion.

Personnel are continuing seining operations, to corral fish in order to tag them. Tag-ging allows the Environmental Unit to determine the success rate of the fish as they progress upstream towards their final spawning destination.

Scaling crews on the face of the slide are continuing to remove rock and debris. This is an important step in providing safe working conditions and preventing a future landslide from occurring. Scalers have engaged a blasting specialist to remove a larger piece of over-hanging rock from the slide face.

The temperature in the Fra-ser River has been trending downward, which is beneficial for the health of the fish. In addition, the flood waterflows which saw water levels rise significantly commencing July 5th are also subsiding. This has resulted in reduced debris being carried downstream and better overall water quality.

North Shuswap Health Centre Society

By Gail McNeil Oliver Summer is here, making it

easy to just get out and enjoy your own backyard! We are very fortunate in the North Shuswap to have amazing green space all around us to enjoy.

But did you know that there are scientific benefits to being outside? Experts be-lieve that there are big health benefits to enjoying na-ture. ‘Forest Therapy’ or time spent in the trees will: 1. Improve Mental Energy &

Short-Term Memory 2. Reduce Stress

& Inflammation 3. Improve Vision & Concen-

tration 4. Produce Sharper Thinking

& Creativity 5. Boost Immune System &

Improve Mental Health 6. Reduce Risk of Early

Death Walking in rural settings

has significant impact on one’s health compared to walking in urban areas. The great outdoors is a restorative environment that helps to reset our mind and our energy levels. Being in the trees reduces stress hormones. Even viewing nature through a window improves our well-being. Researchers who study mortality rates have found that diseases are less prevalent amongst people living in or close to green space.

In children and adoles-cents, research shows that outdoor activity may have protective effect on their eyes and reduce the risk of myopia or nearsightedness. Being

outside helps us to feel calm-er and more connect-ed. Encourage your kids to pay attention to this as it may influence how they spend their time in the future. Electronic devices can be incorporated into nature time through photog-raphy, geocaching, or a na-ture scavenger hunt but un-plugging probably has the best health benefits.

More research is needed but there are strong findings that our forest environment has a positive effect on our immune system. Walks in the forest are used as part of major depressive disorder treatments because they re-duce anxiety and bad moods. Researchers say that in addition to nature’s posi-tive effect on mental health, by adding some physical ac-tivity and social contact along with the better air quality experienced in the trees, na-ture will also boost overall health and longevity. So, get out there and enjoy summer in the abundant green space we have around the North Shuswap!

Friday Night Live August at Friday Night Live begins with

the legendary rock/punk band, Roots Round-Up

By Jim Cooperman August brings another month of excit-

ing music at Friday Night Live, begin-ning with the legendary rock, reggae, ska, funk and punk band, Roots Roundup. In the 1980s, Roots Roundup ruled the Van-couver indie music scene with their eclec-tic, high-energy shows. Since they reunit-ed in 2005, these six musicians, Greg and Dave Hathaway, Barry Taylor, Keith Rose, Mark Campbell, and Dym E. Tree have been a hit at festivals and shows across the province. We are so lucky to have this renowned party-animal dance band play in the North Shuswap, where they will perform a rip-roaring show to kick off the BC Day long weekend.

The following week, on August 9th, Sherman “Tank” Doucette will bring his hot blues band show to the Friday Night Live stage and thrill the audience with his amazing hot harmonica solos. Doucette is the real deal, having played with so many blues legends, from John Lee Hooker, to Long John Baldry, to Albert Collins and many others. He brings a “tankful” of energy to his shows by mixing blues clas-sics and original songs with so much pas-sion and conviction.

The third show brings country rock to Scotch Creek with the much-loved band, Tennessee Walker. This trio of Kamloops musicians, Tanner Dawson, Daylen James and Shawna Palmer, will thrill the audience with their amazing energy and spectacular harmonies. The group draws on influences such as Eric Church, Mi-randa Lambert, Little Big Town, and leg-ends of country music such as Johnny, Merle, and Patsy Cline as they combine a

classic country feel with a cool outlaw vibe to produce their unique, crowd pleasing tunes.

It will be a groovy Friday Night Live on August 23rd when the Kamloops psy-chedelic rock team, the Electric Love Band hits the stage. Fronted by dynamic singer Russ Graham, the band includes well-seasoned drummer and vocalist Richard Graham, master guitarist Jon Treichel, cool bassist Neil Brun, and the very talented Alex Ward on keyboards. They deliver animated versions of 1960's hits and cover some of the famed acid-rock bands, including the Doors, Cream, Jimmy Hendrix and the Beatles. Expect some good vibe's as you turn on your mind and listen for the kaleidoscope eyes.

The season ends on August 30th with the dynamic, groovy, and entertaining, Kamloops band Paisley Groove. They play music that you will want to dance to and sing along with from the 60's and 70’s, including the Beatles, the Stones, Joe Cocker, Santana, as well as some original Flamenco inspired grooves. Five talented musicians, including Dave Langevin on guitar vocals, Myron Rosvick on bass, percussionist Pat Ebert, Doug Goodman on keyboards and vocals and smiling Dave Bouman on drums bring many decades of experience to the stage.

All the Friday Night Live action takes place in the field behind the Scotch Creek Hub, where there is also a night market and the Be-Teased food truck. Admission is free, although donations are appreciat-ed to help cover the costs and ensure next year’s program will be better than ever.

Classical Musical Trio to Perform on the North Shuswap

Submitted by Jake Ootes The North Shuswap Lions Club

is co-sponsoring a musical benefit concert to promote a cultural event and in support of the North Shuswap Youth Program. The event is sched-uled for Saturday, September 7, starting at 3 p.m. at Celista Estate Winery. Featured will be a trio of classical musicians “The Sycamore Trio.”

The event is presented in associa-tion with Celista Estate Winery and Miki Andrejevic, president of St Ives based Magnum Arts Festival Socie-ty. Andrejevic has long thought the idea of a music presentation would be a welcome addition to the cultural tableau of the North Shuswap and is endeavouring to develop an outreach program to rural areas such as the North Shuswap.

“In pairing with the Lions Club and Celista Estate Winery this event will have the added benefit of sup-port for the community’s youth pro-gram.”

Pat Anderson, President of the North Shuswap Lions Club, says the support of the Lions was strongly endorsed by its members, recogniz-ing the cultural and financial contri-butions this event would provide.

The concert will be about 65 minutes with no intermission. A member of the Lions Club will intro-duce the sponsors and the musicians. Cvetozar Vutev, lead musician, will provide opening remarks before the performance. Celista Estate Winery will provide a complimentary glass of wine or non-alcoholic beverage to attendees, and donate a four-pack of wine as a draw at the end of the per-formance and before the post-event re-ception.

The Sycamore Trio is made up of: Cvetorzar Vutev, violin; Martin Kratky, cello; and Ashley Kroecher, viola. Their program is Goldberg Variations, a composition by German composer

Johann Sebastian Bach initially com-posed for harpsichord solo, first pub-lished in 1741. In the late 20th Century the Goldberg Variations was arranged for a string trio - violin, viola and cello.

Tickets are available from the Lions Club, Celista Estate Winery, and the

local grocery stores. Tickets are $20 per adult and $10 for youth under 18. Rain or Shine. Bring your own fold out lawn chair.

“Not suitable (or recommended) for pre-school children.”

Commodore Feltham Commands Canadian

Fleet Atlantic By Jo Anne Malpass

Commodore Richard Feltham took command of Canadian Fleet Atlantic (CANFLTLANT) in early July, during a ceremony held at Her Majesty's Canadian Dockyard Halifax.

Feltham has roots in Scotch Creek, where his mother, Maggie Fletcher still resides. Maggie said she is proud of all her children but “you’ve got to just about burst” when one of them has such a major accomplish-ment.

CANFLTLANT is com-prised of operational units of the East Coast navy, includ-ing high and normal readi-ness ships. Berthed and sus-tained in Her Majesty's Ca-nadian Dockyard Halifax, the Maritime Forces Atlantic Fleet is ready to deploy when required at home and around the world in support of Canadian interests.

Cmdre Feltham was born in London, Ontario in 1967. With family roots in Port Aux Basques NF as well as Scotch Creek, he was raised on various Air Force bases throughout the country until he entered the Canadian

Forces in 1985 as an ROTP cadet. He graduated from the Royal Military College in 1990 with a BA in Political Science.

After completing his Maritime Surface Classifica-tion training in 1991 he joined the Atlantic Fleet. His sea going tours included time in HMC Ships SKEENA, HALIFAX, ATHABASKAN and PRE-SERVER and as Chief of Staff (Operations) in the Atlantic Fleet. Cmdre Feltham has had the honour to command HMCS CHAR-LOTTETOWN (2009), HMCS TORONTO (2009-2010) and Maritime Opera-tions Group 5 (2012-2014).

REALTOR® Shalon Clarke is the proud new owner of Fair Realty in Sorrento, B.C. The change of ownership occurred on June 1, 2019. Ownership has been a goal of Clarke’s since b e c o m i n g l i c e n s e d a s a REALTOR® in 2016. "This office has a lways had a bit of sentimental meaning to me, as it was the office my parents, Sabine and Bernard Guilbault, successfully owned and managed as real estate agents in the 1980s,” said Clarke.

The Fair Realty office in Sorrento has been a real estate office for decades, though it changed owners and franchises several times over the years before Rich and Pauline Wiens established it as Fair Realty in 2010. The Wiens grew the small boutique office into a household real estate name to serve the Shuswap area. In 2016, the Wiens expanded and hired additional real estate agents, one of whom was Clarke.

"The timing was ideal. We knew we wanted to travel a bit more in the winter and step away from running an office full-time, and we thought Shalon would be a great fit for the business when we met her. Knowing her family background, there was a lot of real estate history there already," said Rich Wiens.

The Wiens will continue to offer real estate services to their clients from the Fair Realty office. “You might see Rich out on his tractor a little more and in a suit a little less," joked Pauline Wiens. “We have always appreciated our clients who helped us build this business, and we will continue to be there for them and for our future clients as well,” she added.

When asked about her plans for Fair Realty, Clarke was happy to announce that current REALTORS® Desmond Arens and Brenda Patterson will stay on as integral members of the office and the growth of the Fair Realty Sorrento community. Clarke is also optimistic about the current state of the

industry and feels there’s a lot to be excited about. “With this younger generation of REALTORS®, there’s all this new technology coming along. Real estate agents can provide so much more to their clients in order to help them make what is often one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions of their lives,” said Clarke. “That kind of decision is not something

we take lightly. Knowing what our clients’ needs are and then exceeding those needs in their sale or purchase experience is our priority.

So, while the commitment to great service remains, our clients can also expect to see some positive new changes - and possibly faces - in the future.”

He is married to Michelle Feltham of Moncton, NB and they have two children, Daniel and Jessica. Cmdre Feltham is a recreational enthusiast who enjoys hockey and golf.

Celista Estate Winery Wins Double Gold

Medal By Jake Ootes

Celista Estate Winery won a dou-ble gold medal for its 2018 Ortega in the Cascadia International Wine Com-petition. The competition, held in April in Richland, Washington, drew entrees from throughout the US and Canada including Washington, Ore-gon, Idaho and British Columbia. The competition is considered the largest of its kind in the northwest wine re-gion. Celista Estate Winery also won a bronze medal for each of Inspired Madness, Oak Barrel Foch Reserve and Marg’s Rose.

In the Okanagan Life Magazine Competition, Celista Estate Winery won two silver awards (Oak Barrel Foch Reserve and Portentous) and two bronze (Gewurztraminer and Marg’s Rose).

Wines are blind tasted by top pro-fessional judges including wine jour-nalists, winemakers, wine retailers and wine educators.

“We are extremely pleased with the results we achieve in competi-tions,” says Jake Ootes who owns the winery with his wife Marg. “It is a testament to our winemaker Lee Hol-land and our vineyard crew headed by Ross Bentley. Winning a double gold gives us tremendous satisfaction and confidence we are doing things right. This brings to 88 the total number of awards and medals we have won in ten years.”

Celista Estate Winery is the north-ernmost grape winery in North Ameri-ca. “We are a perfect site for grape growing -- a distinct bowl among the distant mountains and the proximity of Shuswap Lake. Our terroir - air flow, soil, water and moisture conditions - is a major part of our success.”

Celista Estate Winery is located on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake, nine kilometers past Scotch Creek Pro-vincial Park at 2319 Beguelin Road in Celista. 250-955-8600 www.celistawine.com

Shuswap Watershed Council Releases 2018 Water

Quality Report

Media Release The Shuswap Watershed

Council (SWC) has released a report about recent water quality monitoring throughout the Shuswap watershed.

“Water quality in the Shuswap watershed is a key concern for all residents. In view of this, a primary objec-tive for the Shuswap Water-shed Council is to report wa-ter monitoring results annual-ly,” says Paul Demenok, SWC Chair and CSRD Director for Area C – South Shuswap. “I’m very pleased to announce the availability of this third annual report, and would en-courage all residents to be-come familiar with it.”

The report covers water quality in the large lakes and rivers, at swimming beaches, and it explains important wa-ter quality issues in our region such as invasive mussels and algal blooms.

“From a human perspec-tive and our enjoyment of the lakes and beaches, the water quality here in the Shuswap is very good. This is indicated by Interior Health’s beach monitoring program, which had about 97% acceptable

results last year,” explains Erin Vieria, program manager for the SWC. “Additionally, people can be confident in the safety of our swimming beaches. The popular beaches are monitored throughout the spring and summer, and if any issues arise a public notice is posted.”

There’s more good news: the Shuswap watershed, and all of BC, continues to be free of invasive Zebra and Quagga Mussels. However, the threat of an invasion persists. “Zebra and quagga mussels could cause devastation to our lakes,” Vieira says. “The most important preventative meas-ure is for watercraft owners to stop at inspection stations as they pass them in their trav-els.” This is because Zebra and Quagga Mussels move from one lake to another at-tached on watercraft, trailers, and fishing gear. Inspection and decontamination is the only certain way to eliminate the risk. “Watercraft inspec-tion isn’t just a recommenda-tion, it’s the law,” Vieira adds.

The report can be found on the SWC’s website www.shuswapwater.ca.

I have been bowling for just six years with Village Lanes in Chase. I fell in love with the sport and the more I bowled the better I wanted to get. I really got hooked after our ladies’ team decided to enter the PLUS 55 games. In Co-quitlam a couple of years ago, our team won a bronze and I won a Silver for high scratch game and a gold medal for Pins over average. After that, I began entering a few more local tour-naments and tried out for some In-terior teams and interior tourna-ments.

This September I decided to join the Canadian Master Bowling association Senior Division to see if I could make it to the provincials. To make it to the provincials you had to enter 5 tourna-ments and after all 5 tournaments you had to be pins over average. Sounds easy but it isn't. It is hard to bowl over your average. Only half the BC players who tried to do this made it to the pro-vincial tryouts for Team BC. I made it to the Provincial tryouts at Scottdale lanes in Surrey in May 2019. My goal was just to win one match. I won 14 out of 16 matches at provincials and so found out not only did I make team BC, I also was the designated singles player for BC! I won a MASTERS RING which is made specially for the top BC player. It is a one of a kind ring, made in Victoria and a very special accom-

plishment I found out! We left for Gatineau on June 28th

and bowled for 4 days straight, 6 games a day for 3 days and 3 games the last morning. When I first walked into the bowling alley I thought "I don't belong here - I have no experience compared to these other bowlers who have been in MASTERS for years and bowling since they were children! However, team BC had a great coach and other

experienced players who were all so supportive. All I had to do they said, was bowl my own game. My goal again was to just win one match! I did that and my nerves began to settle. I was in first place the first day in singles competition. In Senior Masters you

are bowling against men as well as women. I bowled well and held my first-place position everyday. But I did-n't know that - because I didn't want to know how I was doing. I just wanted to take it one match at a time. I only found out I had won the gold medal after it was all over. I had 21 matches at National’s, and I won 15. When I was bowling, I had two matches going at once. I had a direct across match with the bowler who was in the same posi-tion as me in the team line up. If I beat them, I would win Team BC a point and I had another match with whichev-er player on the other team was the sin-gles designate.

It has been kind of a Cinderella sto-ry for me this year, first time Master bowler, win at provincials and singles and team BC win at nationals.

My question to the readers is this: Are we becoming too bureaucratic? Too many Ver-boten signs, too little freedom to use our own brains?

This thought came to me this morning. I went to the Scotch Creek Farmers Mar-ket, where I purchased some greens. On the way back I took the opportunity to let my dog enjoy her favorite pass time, retrieving sticks from the lake. I drove to the dog park parking lots, but all shady spaces were taken, so I drove to the last (boat launch) parking lot. It appeared to be totally empty, so I parked beside the corner space, in shade, hoping the precious leaves would not wilt too much in the 20 minutes my dog played.

Upon returning, I found a red slip on the rear windshield of my RAV4, which informed me that this lot was now for Vehicles with Boat Trailers only!

Well, that is fine, but I counted 20 empty stalls right next to my car, and probably more around the corner, clos-er to the launch ramp! I am grateful to the Park Operator

for letting me know this, how-ever, if anyone wanted to park their boat and trailer, they had 20 stalls closer to the ramp than my spot!

And then I felt somewhat offended that park attendants would not grant me the intel-ligence to tell the difference between an empty parking lot, and the last parking space available. Would I have taken that? Of course not!

So this brought me to the thought that we are becoming a very directed society; rather than being allowed to use our brains, we are now supposed to obey signs, totally blindly! Reminds me of signs every-where in several languages, depending on country in Eu-rope that urges all not to step on the grass, because it is “Verboten”!

In closing, I think too much bureaucracy removes the freedom of real democra-cy that I recall in my child-hood Canada so many dec-ades ago. And it makes me sad! Eva Lyman Celista

Too much Bureaucracy?

Bringing U-Haul to the North Shuswap

If your elected represent-atives had prior knowledge of a threat to the health and safety of your families and community, and chose to remain silent and ignore it - how would you feel?

Individuals who have succeeded in gaining enough trust and support from our communities are generally fairly intelligent and well educated. They usually have the mental capacity to com-prehend information which is presented to them with scientific and medical proof.

Local politicians have been met with individually, presented ample evidence at City Council meetings, and have received numerous articles via both email and hand delivered packages.

The threat I am bringing up is the proliferation of cellular antennae and cell towers; small and huge. We (Citizens For Safe Technolo-gy) and (Parents For Safe Schools) understand that all School Board Members, most Doctors, and all elected officials rely on what is termed: ‘Safety Code 6’ as the basis for their decision to ignore the evidence based pleas from local community

members to consider the issue of serious threat to the health and safety of our fam-ilies and communities; in-cluding pets, wildlife, in-sects (honey bees!!), plants, and even the water itself which is affected by pulsed microwave radia-tion. Supposedly ‘safe’ wireless frequencies - which are emitted from all wireless devices as well as micro-wave ovens which the ma-jority of people know are hazardous. Most devices emit electromagnetic radia-tion whether they are active-ly being used or not: computers, ‘smart’ de-vices in vehicles, cell phones, iPads, etc. Cordless telephones are one of the greatest sources of deadly EMF’s. Please see Physi-cians for Safe Technolo-gy; https://mdsafetech.org/.

When is it a good time to ignore warnings which are indicating our health and safety is at risk?? NEVER!!

Not Normal Behaviour

On July 13th I filled in a bunch of deep potholes on an access road with Road Mulch I paid for with my own money. The following day, I noticed that someone had dug up and removed all the Gravel I put down.

The person who did this must have severe mental

issues and should seek med-ical help to be put on some kind of Medication. I be-lieve your readers would agree with me; this is not normal be-haviour and should be checked. Franz Stieg

Ross Creek Landing’s Annual 2019 Fly-In

By Bill Huxley The Fly-in kicked off

when people began to arrive on Friday. Amid booming thunderstorms, organizers worked diligently to set up the tents, signage, RVs, etc. The stormy weather resulted in some having to drive to their own Fly-in. That must have been a bitter pill to swallow!

Saturday had distant storms menacing but not enough to slow down the aviators who managed to arrive in fine fashion.

On Sunday it was beauti-ful, we had bright blue sky, no smoke (yeah!), calm winds, and very comfortable temps which made for an absolutely perfect Fly-in day.

A total of sixteen air-planes flew in. The furthest away arrived from Langley and Squamish while others were from Kamloops and

area. This diverse group of aircraft included everything from a Jet Ranger helicopter to ultralights and everything in between.

Approximately 50 people enjoyed a nice BBQ lunch on Saturday. On Sunday, 40 appetites were well satisfied with a great breakfast of pan-cakes, bacon, eggs, fine cof-fee and all the trimmings.

Regularly, the Ross Creek Landing folks have generous-ly shared their beautiful property with the aviation minded crowd. This airdrome is operated on a PPR basis which simply means you can land here, however; Prior Permission is Required.

As an area resident, it is my pleasure to thank the four owners and their families for the excellent hospitality in providing this wonderful event every year.

The 2019 Fly-in line-up of 10 aircraft and the vintage Airdrome Firetruck

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1. Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.

2. Wrinkles don't hurt.

3. Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts

Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.

4. Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber,

not the toy.

By Jan Penner There were lots of guesses

this month and the correct an-swer is, a reusable spout for an oil can. An original patent filed in 1904 credits J. L. Fus-ner as its creator. Congratula-tions to our winner Jim Taylor.

Before the spout’s invention, one had to either transfer oil from a pierced can or one with the lid re-moved, into a con-tainer with a pour spout, or try to pour the oil directly from the opened can. Both choices could be messy. If the oil was being added to an engine at the side of the road, the risk of spillage onto the engine was huge and we all know how stinky oil is when it burns off engine parts.

With the invention of the spout, it was placed against the can and used to pierce the lid. There was less spillage because the spout was at-tached. Piercing the opposite side of the can before inserting the spout fully, prevented the formation of an airlock, allow-ing the oil to flow out smooth-ly. Engine motor oil could be refilled with relative ease.

I have been writing “Name That Thing” for a number of years now. Reader feedback has been awesome. So many of you have said how much you love “playing

the game” and have shared some of the memories our items have brought back to you.

While we do have a cou-ple of sources of historical items, we know that you have your own items with special

memories attached. We would like to invite you to share them with us and our readers. If you have an antique do-ma-hicky or thing-a-ma-bob, take a

picture and send it to us, along with any information you can share. It is also a good ideal to include the item dimensions or something such as a coin, to provide scale. The picture must be clear and of good quality in order for it to be published. Anything not focused or too grainy, will not print well enough to pre-sent a recognizable image so we might not be able to use it.

If you have an item that you cannot identify, we can-not guarantee we will use it but we will do our best to research it and if we are suc-cessful, it will become an article. Thanks for all your feedback and for your enthu-siastic response to “Name That Thing”!

Here is our “thing” for September. Make your guess and you could be our next $25 draw prize winner!

Anglemont Ladies’ Golf By Bev Shea

Even though we have had a number of our Thursday games rained out, we have still played a lot of golf and had a lot of fun on Tuesday and Thursdays at the Angle-mont Estates Golf course.

The winner of our Chip-ping towel for the month of June was Doris Hunter. We had our annual Guest Day on June 20th with Craig and Shantelle providing lunch for members and their guests. We had lots of prizes to be won on the golf course and the big winners were the Wojciechowski mother and daughter team with Jan win-ning Closest to the Rope and Closest to the Pin 2nd shot and Tracy was Closest to the Banner. There were still lots of other prizes for people to win, Doris Hunter and Brenda Buf-fel each a prize for Long Putt, Jeannie Long-hurst was Closest to the Windsock, Joanne McNeilly won two prizes Long Drive and another Closest to the Pin 2nd shot and Judy Weller won the Guess the # of sea-shells in the Jar. There were also many door priz-es and Sheila Riley presented our new Sheila Riley Most Improved Golfer to the 2018 winner Doris Hunter. This trophy will be presented year-ly.

On July 2nd we celebrated Canada Day at the Golf course with a fun game of Mind the Red Ball. The win-ning team was Can Do It con-sisting of Doris Hunter, Bren-da Buffel, Darla Wilkinson and Joanne McNeilly. In 2nd place was Thee Canadian

Put Freshwater Fishing on your Summer Bucket List

Media Release Youth age five to 15 and

their families have 18 oppor-tunities to learn a new sport this summer with the Fresh-water Fisheries Society of BC’s Learn to Fish programs throughout the Thompson Okanagan. Held in provincial and regional parks, Learn to Fish offers introductory level freshwater fishing instruction as well as hands-on fishing practice. Programs are held on a drop-in basis and are provid-ed at no cost.

This summer, eighteen Learn to Fish programs are offered at seven locations in the Thompson - Okanagan region, including at Shuswap Lake Provincial Park on August 1, 8, 15 and 22, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.

Children under 16 don’t need a freshwater fishing li-cense. Everyone learns about fish identification and biolo-gy; habitat and conservation; proper fish handling; ethics, safety, and fishing regulations; fishing tackle (rods, reels, lines, and lures); and knot-tying. Hands-on participation includes how to successfully cast and retrieve. Fishing equipment is provided, alt-hough participants may bring their own if they wish, and the two-hour programs run rain or shine. Many of the programs fill up and early arrival is rec-ommended.

“Learn to Fish is often a

first introduction to fishing. In many cases it is the start of a summer, and sometimes a lifetime, of enjoying the sport,” says Jessica Yarwood, Outreach Coordinator, Fresh-water Fisheries Society of BC. “We encourage anyone who is curious to visit a program and see if this sport is for them.”

In this 2-hour session, you’ll learn the basics of freshwater fishing including hatchery roles, fish identifica-tion, tackle, rod rigging, cast-ing, and hands-on fishing.

Luhr Jensen fishing rods provided. For children ages 5 and older, with accompanying adults. Free program; no reg-istration required. Programs run rain or shine. Meet at the campground amphitheatre.

Please ensure you arrive on time at 5:30 pm as the in-troductory information on fishing techniques and ethics are important to your partici-pation in the hands-on fishing portion. We reserve the right to deny entry to those arriving after the program has started.

Program cost is free thanks to the generous support of sponsors: Habitat Conserva-tion Trust Foundation, Luhr Jensen, BC Ram Dealers, Yamaha Motor Canada, Teck Highland Valley Copper Part-nership,and BC Parks.

MP Presses Federal Government to Recognize RCMP Day

Vernon, BC- Mel Arnold, Member of Parliament for North Okanagan– Shuswap, is calling on the federal gov-ernment to formally recognize Febru-ary 1st as Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Day in time for the national law enforcement agency’s centennial anniversary next year. MP Arnold tabled a bill proposing recogni-tion of RCMP Day in the House of Commons last month, but with Parlia-ment adjourned, the bill will not pro-ceed in the current 42nd Parliament.

In a letter sent to the federal minis-ters of Public Safety and Canadian Heritage today, MP Arnold cited the uncertainty of Parliament’s legislative calendar following the October general election and requested that the govern-ment recognize RCMP Day through an Order in Council to ensure recognition is in place when Canada’s national police force celebrates 100 years of service on February 1, 2020.

MP Arnold’s ongoing efforts align with a provincial bill introduced in the BC Legislature by Vernon- Monashee MLA Eric Foster in May and a 2016 provincial bill passed in Manitoba.

Ongoing efforts to recognize Royal Canadian Mounted Police Day have

been driven by the Vernon-based RCMP Appreciation Day in B.C. Committee which expanded in May to form the RCMP Day in Canada Com-mittee to build support for a national RCMP Day.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Po-lice was established on February 1, 1920 when the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, founded in 1873, and the Dominion Police, founded in 1868, were merged. The RCMP of today is made up of almost 30,000 individuals- 18,000 frontline members and 12,000 support personnel.

“With the uncertainty of Parlia-ment’s schedule leading up to the RCMP centennial, establishing recog-nition of RCMP Day by means of a bill is not feasible but the Government of Canada does have the option of us-ing a declaration,” said MP Arnold. “The RCMP’s centennial anniversary is a fitting time for all Canadians to join together in recognizing and appre-ciating 100 years of service and I sin-cerely hope the Government of Canada will issue a declaration to ensure that February 1st, 2020 is formally recog-nized as Royal Canadian Mounted Police Day.”

By Jan Penner Hope everyone is having

a fun and relaxing summer holiday.

Obviously, things are pretty quiet at North Shus-wap School right now, but as we approach September, that will change. Mr. Rosman and Mrs. Dawson will be in the office starting Aug. 26th. They will be availa-ble for new student registration through the week leading up to La-bour Day. You can also contact the office at 250-955-2214 during this week.

A reminder that all sup-plies are being bought by teachers this year and fees are $45 plus $10 for Cultural Fee. Payment can be made in the first week of classes.

Students, it is easy to be

physically active during summer in the Shuswap, with great hiking and biking trails, awesome playgrounds and parks and of course, our beautiful Shuswap Lake offering all kinds of water-sports. But, don’t forget

that it is still im-portant to read, write and involve math in your sum-mer days. Reading and writing is obvi-ous and for math, play lots of games

with cards and dice. Yahtzee is great for multi-plication and adding groups of numbers, Crib is awe-some for quick adding to 15!

First day back will be September 3rd. This is an early dismissal day with the bell ringing at 9:53. Enjoy your summer everyone!

Patty Ampleford - Featured Artist

By Jo Anne Malpass Painting wasn’t Patty Ampleford’s

first passion, but it has become one of the satisfying and uplifting aspects of her life that has gotten her through many ups and downs.

Patty works from her studio in Scotch Creek on the Shuswap where she has drawn much of the inspiration for her work. She paints large and small oil on canvas paint-ings, using bold colour and paint

handling to convey strong moods and create striking landscape works.

Her first passion was sports, com-peting at the junior level in figure skating, and she continues to live an active life. Being active gets her blood flowing and spurs on her cre-ativity and she describes working on her art as a moving medi-tation.

She didn’t become inter-ested in art until she went to the Universi-ty of Alberta, receiving a Bachelor of Arts, minor in Art and Design, major in Psychology in 1996. In university, she did her fine arts requirement and became hooked. She put her name on the list for a painting course and was accepted on the last day when someone else dropped out.

Patty is represented by the Scott Gallery in Edmonton and her work has been shown in several galleries in Vancouver, Alberta and Ontario.

She has been involved in many ex-hibitions, mainly in Vancouver and Edmonton and has donated paint-ings for several fundraising causes. She and her art have been featured in the Edmonton Journal, Vancou-ver Sun, the National Post and on CTV. Her paintings are in numerous private collections in Canada, U.S.A. and the U.K.

After graduating, she was a flight attendant and spent four years trav-

elling. Inspired by what she had seen, she start-ed painting scenes from her travels. She exhibited at a few shows and went back to the univer-sity to do open studies. She was part of the Em-ma Lake Artist in Resi-dency Program and Special Projects in Paint-ing at the University of Alberta. Patty sometimes paints

from photos but usually paints the local scenery on site. "Noticing the subtle nuances of colour, play of light and the essence of the land-scape has inspired my paint-ing."

She has strong roots in the North Shuswap. She started coming to her fam-ily’s summer cabin in St. Ives, when she was five. Ten years later, they sold the property, finding the distance to Edmonton too long to fully enjoy the cab-in. In preparation for retire-ment, her parents pur-chased the Scotch Creek property in 2003, camping for the first couple of sum-mers and then building a

home in 2005/6. Patty lived there with them for a year or so after it was built, recover-ing from a medical issue, and then moved to Vancou-ver to continue her career.

While there, she married and had two children, Nicho-las is eight and Jack is five. Patty and the boys moved back to the North Shuswap last year and Nicholas went

to grade three at North Shuswap Elementary. Patty said Nicholas loves going to school here, Mrs. Schmidt is the best, and Jack is looking forward to starting kinder-garten in the fall.

It feels like coming home, she said, everyone is so friendly.

With the arrival of children and other events in her life, she had stepped back from her art for a while before moving back here. An old friend en-couraged her to get back to it and chal-lenged her to get three paintings ready in time for the Eastside Cultural Crawl in 2018, an exhibi-tion she had participated in for several years. That started her back on the path to getting back to her life. She has joined the Blind Bay Painters and was part of their art show on July long weekend. She is also planning to be part of the NS Chamber sponsored Fine Art Show at the North Shuswap Community Hall on Au-gust 31. You can also make an appointment to see her work by call-ing her at 604-723-7847 or by email at [email protected]

Passion Bowl Drama Camp Production a Huge Success

By Jim Cooperman Welcome to Camp Evergreen, Brit-

ish Columbia’s own highly reputable, sleep-away camp that harbours lore and dark secrets beyond your wildest dreams. Join a curious crew of misfits, led by a wacky camp counsellor with a mysterious past, on their quest to un-cover it all!

That was the synopsis of the play, Goat’s Head Cabin, written and directed by Ruby Bruce with help from Maria Ruiz-White and Charlie Conner that was performed for a very appreciative, large audience as the culmination of a week long drama camp at the Passion Bowl from July 15 to 20 in Lee Creek. This was the sixth season for the camp, and some of the kids have been back every year.

During the week, in addition to re-hearsing the play, the kids danced, sang, did improvisations, and played drama games. As well, they helped paint the backdrop with lead artist Irene MacLen-nan. Some worked on building the set, while others created props and set de-cor. Most of all, the kids had fun, and their enthusiasm helped them create a fabulous production that even included a pre-show.

Ruby, who is also a talented singer-songwriter, is already working on a plot for next year’s camp production! You can hear her perform her remarkable music when she opens for Roots Roundup at Friday Night Live on Au-gust 2 behind the Scotch Creek Hub. A video of the play, Goat’s Head Cabin, will soon be out on YouTube.

DIRECTIONS

Cut the corn off of the cobs and set aside mix the flour and the butter together in a saucepan and cook for a few minutes until they come together well to cook the flour. With a whisk add 2 cups of the milk half a cup at a time continue to whisk at medium heat until it gets thick and bubbly. Do not stop whisking or the flour will stick. Add the corn, sugar, salt & pepper, nutmeg and sugar. Mix well coating all of the kernels. Add more milk if it is too thick for you or a little more butter. adjust salt and pepper for your tastes if necessary. (A GREAT USE FOR LEFTOVER CORN)

DID YOU KNOW …. Sunshine chemically lifts your spirits in the summer months. Thanks to summer’s stronger sunlight and the extra hours in the day to soak it up, you’re more likely to float through the day feeling energized and op-timistic. It has to do with serotonin, a hormone that’s been dubbed the “happiness hormone” by scientists. When your body absorbs UV light, it produces more serotonin, and that pumps your mood.
