Teachers ponder whether to picket
Dispute: no plans in the shuswap, Vernon teachers set up line one day per week. By Chelsea Grainger and Richard Rolke black press
Members of the North Okanagan Shuswap Teachers Organization aren’t planning any picket lines yet, but they are looking at their options. NOSTA President Brenda O’Dell says there’s no definite plans set in place regarding when pickets will be going up this summer. “We haven’t formalized anything yet, but we’re looking into our options,” said O’Dell. It’s a different story in Vernon, as members of the Vernon Teachers Association have planned pickets for the summer. Members of the Vernon Teachers Association picketed in front of W.L. Seaton Secondary Wednesday from 7 to 9:30 a.m. and such rallies

will occur at various locations every Wednesday during the summer. “We want to maintain our visibility and remind people that a fair settlement hasn’t been reached yet,” said Heather Malcolm, VTA president. Malcolm hopes parents and students will attend the picket sessions, but she isn’t sure how many teachers will show up over the summer holidays. “It will be interesting to see how many come out to join us.” A court justice recently decided not to conduct mediation between the teachers and the government because he said both sides were too far apart in demands. However, Malcolm says discussions are nec-

essary so classes can resume in September. “The government is coming with predetermined conditions and that’s not negotiating. If they come to the table, I believe we can negotiate,” she said. Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, defends the position his government has taken with the teachers. “We are at the table and I keep hoping everyone comes to a resolution,” he said. However, Foster insists that teachers must lower their demands for wages and changes to class size. “It has to fall within our (budget) mandate and what we’ve given other public-sector workers,” he said.

Sunnybrae residents rally for walking and biking routes By Chelsea Grainger
MArKet neWS StAff
The need for better walking and biking trails in Sunnybrae is a hot topic for a group of residents. The Friends of Sunnybrae, accompanied by other members of the community, rallied along Sunnybrae Road on July 1 to raise awareness of the need for safer walking trails. The group, decked out with signs and balloons, walked from Sunnybrae Community Park to Sky Blue Waters in order to draw attention to their cause.
Sunnybrae resident Jan Papple said there are no sidewalks on the road and the shoulders are covered with poison ivy. “It is treacherous to walk this road,” said Papple. “We at Sunnybrae are very grateful for the work done and help received from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District and the Shuswap Trail Alliance. “We want to acknowledge the substantial assistance received to date, but we have only just begun and need to be visible

and vocal on all fronts so we are not overlooked when funding and aid is delegated.” Papple said the walk was given the name the “Granny Rumble,” as most of those who participated were older and had been around for multiple generations. “We have all been around long enough to see several generations raised in this area, without the fun of being able to ride bicycles or even walk to a destination,” said Papple. “We need roadside trails in Sunnybrae in the worst way.”
A great way to start your day!

Foundation appeals to business Shuswap Lake General: Campaign funds new medical equipment. By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
The notion that any one entity can fully fund health care is long gone. This was the message a group of business owners heard at a “Care to Share” event June 26, hosted by the Shuswap Hospital Foundation at Blue Canoe. The purpose of the first of such events planned for the future was to share information on how the Shuswap business community can help the foundation raise funds for muchneeded equipment. Fiona Harris, director of development, described how the foundation works continuously in its efforts to enhance patient care at Shuswap healthcare facilities. In a PowerPoint presentation, Harris gave attendees several options for creating fundraising opportunities in their own business before handing the mic over to keynote speaker and chief of medical staff, Dr. Stacey Kirkman. Kirkman extolled the virtues of the foundation and noted the equipment donations also help to attract doctors. Originally from Zimbabwe and trained in South Africa, Kirkman practised in Saskatchewan for six years prior to coming to Salmon Arm. “For me, the hospital was the main reason we decided to settle in Salmon Arm…” he said. “In the past 10 years, I have seen the hospital evolve and improve. There have been major renovations to ER, radi-
ology, pharmacy and the lab.” Kirkman added lavish praise to the members of the community and their incredible generosity in keeping the hospital equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as the CT scanner that, he said, played a critical role in modernizing the hospital. A doctor who enjoys providing maternity care, Kirkman described some of the recently acquired equipment that can provide life-saving care to infants. “Just recently, the foundation raised $25,000 for a brand new incubator,” he said. “Now I no longer have to sweat trying to maintain a sick baby’s temperature or worry about how much oxygen he or she is getting. It all happens with a touch of a dial.” With no obstetrician in Salmon Arm, Kirkman says the equipment not only makes it easier for him to provide topnotch care, it makes him feel supported by the community. “I believe the hospital is the heart of Salmon Arm. A strong hospital is a real indicator of a vibrant community,” he said, noting SLGH is third in B.C. for being a centre of excellence. “A place where people want to live and work and a place where businesses such as yours can really thrive.” Maureen McTaggart, a doctor who began practising medicine 25 years ago, explained why fundraising organizations like the foundation are necessary.

n Fiona Harris, director of development for the Shuswap Hospital Foundation, encourages businesses to join the Care to Share fundraising campaign. cine, a heart attack victim, for example, was given oxygen, monitored, had their pain managed and, if the heart stopped, they received electric shock. “Now you get an immediate examination, clot-busting meds, or you’re sent for an angioplasty or open-heart surgery,” she said. “The technology, training, expertise – imagine the difference in cost. If you extrapolate that to all the other conditions and diagnostic tests, you can see why the days are over when one entity can cover the costs.” Following the event, a pleased Harris noted that 26
people from local companies attended, with several telling her they wanted to take part in the Care to Share campaign and would discuss fundraising opportunities with their staff. “We would like to do this once or twice a year, invite businesses to hear a bit more and help the foundation,” she said. “It’s not a one-off piece; it’s an opportunity for corporate donors and people who might want to do something within their businesses.” For information on the foundation and fundraising ideas, visit www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org.

Sicamous issues permit for Old Town Bay By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF
The long hold on development of the Old Town Bay project appears to have come to an end. At its last meeting, Sicamous council approved the issuance of a development permit to numbered company, 44360602 BC LTD, for the development and construction of a proposed 276-slip marina, as well as a breakwater, marine servicing and fuelling facilities, public and private boat launches and “required related works located within the upland property….” The marina will be developed in two or more phases, and will eventually be the new home of Twin Anchors’ houseboat rental operation. Mike Marrs, community planning officer
and approving officer with the district, said the proposed development is in compliance with the municipality’s OCP and zoning and that a water licence has been issued by the province. Marrs noted, however, that prior to council’s meeting, he had been contacted by upland property owners who expressed opposition to the permit’s issuance – comments he said he found disturbing. “In all fairness, they will have an opportunity to speak to the phased development of the agreement that will be forthcoming in relationship to the agreement and the development of the upland as we move forward from this point,” said Marrs. “It’s my recommendation that council give consideration to the issuance of this development permit.”
Twin Anchors president Todd Kyllo was in awe to be finally standing before council for permit approval, a process that has been underway since 2005/06. “If this does go through, I think we should frame it and have it somewhere in here…,” said Kyllo. “I didn’t think I’d be standing here seven or eight years later on with a DP that Sicamous could use... And it’s not just a marina. There’s going to be a shared boat ramp, which is also needed in the town. And we need to get some life down there in order to stop all the vandalism that’s kind of taking place down there right now anyways.” Coun. Fred Busch said he was puzzled by the negative comments mentioned by Marrs, and noted the district had already gone through a public
hearing. He asked if the comments hold any weight. Marrs said no, and reiterated the project has already been through due process and is in compliance, adding the marina’s footprint is slightly smaller than what was initially proposed. In 2012, the Shuswap Environmental Action Society publicly expressed its opposition to the proposed 220-acre comprehensive development, particularly the marina, which they alleged could have a negative impact on fish habitat. At that time, Kyllo said the proposed marina had already been through a “battery of scientific studies” as prescribed by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. Council expressed no concerns when approving the development permit.

OPINION Frustration mounts over illegal dumping It’s an age-old problem that continues to annoy residents and government alike. The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has asked the Safe Communities Unit to investigate ways to deal with people who continue to break the law and dump garbage in rural areas. In a recent case, the Regional District of North Okanagan was forced to clean up an illegal dump site. “Everyone pays for the stupidity of one person,” said BX-Silver Star director Mike Macnabb. Hear, hear. Although it’s likely not just one person and we all know it’s not just one site in particular as there are other problem areas, including off Mabel Lake Road in rural Enderby. The fact that it is unsightly is bad enough but there are risks to wildlife, a potential for wildfire and safety hazards to other humans, all because someone never learned the golden rule in kindergarten – clean up after yourself. Certainly laws and fines are a must (although very difficult to enforce for various reasons), and maybe security patrols and surveillance cameras in certain trouble spots may be worth considering, but mostly it comes down to personal responsibility. The landfill is cheap and accessible and open longer during the summer. Please use it. The once-a-week garbage service that many receive should be utilized and appreciated. Most of us are good community stewards and have no intention of taking the easy way out when it comes to the disposal of garbage. We wish the Safe Communities Unit good luck in finding a way to make it not so easy for those who continue to refuse to do the right thing. –Vernon Morning Star

When it comes to setting an example Kids learn by watching and emulating what they see their parents doing - or in some cases, not doing. I don’t know many times I’ve watched people head out on the water in a boat with children onboard, and no one is wearing a life jacket or personal flotation device (PFD). Surely the adults operating these boats should have been setting a proper example for the children. Every year way too many people drown in this province while taking part in activities on the water. The worst part is that most of these people, over 87 per cent of them, were not wearing a life-jacket or PFD. The tragic part is that some of them are children. It’s one thing when adults do not wear a life-jacket … and yes I know, technically they only have to have them onboard a watercraft. They do not actually have to wear them – but surely the safety and well-being of children should be of the ultimate concern at all times. Under the federal government’s regulations, a person
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray operating a boat or pleasure craft is responsible for equipping the boat with the proper mandatory safety equipment to ensure the safety of those onboard. Operators and/or owners of boats and pleasure craft who do not comply with these regulations can be subject to penalties and fines of up to $200 for each person not wearing an approved life-jacket. The cost of a good quality Coast Guard-approved life-jacket is considerably less than the cost of a fine. Whether in a boat, on a dock or simply near the water, children are always safer if they are wearing a lifejacket. There are a number of things one needs to take into
consideration when choosing a life-jacket or PFD, especially for young children. First of all, consider the type of water activities that you and your family enjoy. Today there are lifejackets and PFD’s specially designed for virtually every type of water activity, including pleasure boating, fishing, waterskiing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing and rafting. When determining what size of life-jacket or PFD to wear, remember that sizing is based on chest measurements for adults and weight for children. Read the label for details. And, most important, try the life-jacket or PFD on your children before buying. It should fit snugly, with all the buckles, zippers and snaps done up, but still allow room to breathe and move around freely. Have children try walking around and sitting with it on as well. A life-jacket or PFD is too big if you can pull it up over their ears and too small if you/they cannot fasten all the buckles and/or do up all the straps. Remember too that children have differing levels of
skill and physical strength, not to mention swimming ability. A life-jacket or PFD can make all the difference in a life-threatening situation. As a kid, my father always made us wear lifejackets in the boat. We simply were not allowed to go out in a boat, with him or anyone else, if we were not wearing a life-jacket. Even on the hottest of days, he was not prepared to take a chance. Since those early days of my youth I have spent a fair amount of time on the water and I still simply will not go out without a life-jacket – in part because my father set an example for us by wearing his and impressing upon us kids the need to be safe out on the water. Also, in part for the plain and simple reason that I am not a strong swimmer. I’m not sure that I could save myself, let alone anyone else, if I was not wearing a life-jacket. Any way that you want to look at it, when it comes to children wearing life-jackets, a life-jacket only has to work once to make it all worthwhile.

Rail trail needs support SHUSWAP PASSION
possible to bike or hike from Sicamous to the U.S. border or connect to the KVR Rail Trail and travel to the Kootenays. The legal abandonment process began for the Sicamous-toArmstrong railway in 2009, which included a period when each level of government had the opportunity to purchase the line. Unfortunately, governments were unsuccessful as CP insisted on receiving more money than the governments were willing to spend. The process is now moving into a private purchase phase with CP’s real estate division. To the south, the railway was decommissioned in June and has now entered the government bid phase. Rail trails are extremely successful and popular in many regions of the province and in the United States. Recently, a 25kilometre rail trail from Kimberly to Cranbrook was paved at a cost of approximately $3-million and is now being used by commuters on bikes. In the Kootenays, the Nakusp and Slocan Railway and Galena Trails between Kaslo, New Denver and Nakusp that includes a hand-powered cable car crossing over a creek canyon has been a boon to the local tourism economy. The proposed 50-km rail trail between Sicamous and Armstrong would attract visitors to the Shuswap from throughout the world and would improve the
Jim Cooperman Up until recently, the Shuswap has missed out on the tourism and recreational opportunities that arise from the development of longdistance corridor trails constructed on former railway right-of-ways. However, the prospect now exists for a scenic, nearly level cycling and hiking trail along the west side of Mara Lake from Sicamous to Armstrong, which could then connect via side roads farther south. The route is the former Shuswap and Okanagan Railway, built as a spur line to the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1892, used until 2009 and now undergoing salvage operations. To the south, the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative has attracted many supporters and funding for an impact assessment that determined the trail from Vernon to Kelowna would attract thousands of new visitors and millions of dollars in revenue, including significant employment income. There would also be options to connect this trail to the KVR rail trail and to another trail to Osoyoos. If all of the railto-trails initiatives were successful it would be
tourism economy during the spring and fall shoulder seasons. As well, it would provide another way for local outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy healthy hiking, jogging and biking activities and appreciate million-dollar views. And there would be many potential spinoffs including a tie-in to agricultural tourism in the Shuswap River farming valley. The Turtle Bay Peninsula is Crown land that should be a provincial or regional district park due to its prime location and intriguing features, including old-growth forests, rocky bluffs, an abandoned mineshaft and

It would be accessible via the rail trail. As well, Rosemond Lake is an extremely sensitive ecological area with mud flats that are often damaged by mudboggers. A rail trail that is properly controlled to restrict motorized use would improve the management of the Rosemond Lake area. There is also access from the Larch Hills to the lake and the small recreation campsite. Establishment of the
rail trail could also result in improvements to this campsite, which could include an interpretive trail for the adjacent Secwepemc pit house sites. A major initiative is now underway by the Shuswap Trail Alliance to encourage the acquisition of the Sicamous-to-Armstrong rail bed for a non-motorized trail. The alliance is working closely with the Splatsin Indian Band and they acknowledge the Secwepemc title and right over the land, which is in the band’s territory. The Splatsin Band is currently in negotiations with CP and when an agreement is finalized, the corridor will be put forward for private sale. The Shuswap Trail Alliance initiative is a call to action for local governments to work with Secwepemc and federal and provincial government leaders to assemble a financial strategy that includes community business sponsorships to enable the submission of a bid to purchase the corridor. The public is urged to participate by contacting all levels of government and urging them to take action to acquire the potential greenway.

Blind Bay celebrates 100 years both pioneer families and the many newcomers to the area who, like the pioneers, are drawn to the beauty of the lake’s surroundings. Chidwick urges newcomers to protect the beauty they find here. “I am really concerned about the future of the lake,” she said. “We have to learn from the past and look to the future and be responsible for the lake and everything around it: The birds, fish, lizards, frogs, snakes everything.” To assist newcomers to identify with the pioneers who settled the area, Chidwick has included a 1912 homesteaders’ map with an overlay of a 2012 property map on which, after you identify where your property is located, you can find the name of the family who homesteaded that property. Then you can look in the book’s index to discover that homesteader family’s history. In addition to the histories of local pioneers, Chidwick has included information about the forced evacuation of Canadians of Japanese ancestry into this area during the Second World War, the stresses caused by two world wars for both the men who fought in the wars and women and families they left here to fend for themselves in a relatively unsettled area and, of more cur-

On July 18th and 19th, Blind Bay residents are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the opening of the first post office and school on the shores of the bay. During those two days you are being urged to look at the tree-clad hills around the bay and imagine the hours of hard work that pioneers put into clearing that land. What better way to pay tribute to those hard-working pioneers than with the release of the book, Voices of the Pioneers: Stories from the South Shore of Shuswap Lake-Blind Bay, a compilation of pioneers’ memories of those early days? The author, Ann Chidwick, has spent the past 76 years holidaying on the shores of the lake after her family sought to escape the intense heat of Kamloops to a rented cottage beside Blind Bay. In 1945 her family purchased the home from Blind Bay pioneers Walter and Kitty Dunne and Chidwick has continued to spend her summers there ever since. Her love of the lake, especially Blind Bay, has led to her spending countless hours documenting pioneer Blind Bay family histories. The result is a book that should prove an interesting read for

Blind Bay is not incorporated as a municipality. So this year the community is celebrating the first time governments recognized that there was a community here – in 1914 when the federal government opened the first post office and the provincial government listened to pioneers’ demands for a school by contributing $250 toward the building of a schoolhouse. The land, the remaining money and materials for the school were contributed by local residents and many work bees were held to build the school itself. Copies of Ann Chidwick’s book will be available throughout the celebrations at the information centre located at the Cedar Centre, 2316 Lakeview Dr. where you can also obtain maps, brochures, tickets for
events, register if you are a pioneer and enjoy refreshments in the airconditioned building. Inside the Cedar See Community pg 10

Highway speed hike in the Shuswap A number of highways in the Shuswap will be getting an increase in speed limit as a result of the recent province-wide Rural Highway Safety and Speed review done by the Ministry of Infrastructure. Thirty-five sections of B.C. highways will have the speed adjusted, with three of them being in the Shuswap area. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted speed limit. The stretch of highway from Canoe to Revelstoke will increase from 90 km/hr to 100 km/h. The 60 km/h zone through Sicamous will remain intact. Highway 97A, from the Highway 97B junction to Sicamous, will go from 80 to 90 kilometres an hour, excluding the 50 km/h section through Grindrod. The Trans-Canada Highway between Chase and Hilltop road, just east of Sorrento, will also have its current speed of 90 km/h increased to 100 (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX km/h.

This has been my home for many a year And I must say, I’ve been happy here. I’ve met so many friends, Both new and old; I’ve enjoyed hearing their interesting stories unfold.

The Shuswap Trail Alliance (STA), the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS), and the Salmar Community Association are pleased to announce a new and innovative community non-profit partnership. Sharing an office downtown, STA and LASS have joined together to rent the space from the Salmar Community Association, owners and operators of the Salmar Grand Cinemas and historic Salmar Classic Theatre in Salmon Arm who put 100 per cent of the funds they receive back into the community through upgrades, donations, and scholarships. The Shuswap Trail Alliance was born out of communities working together. In 2005 regional leadership came together to address the growing call to improve how we design and move in our communities. Since 2006, partners have worked through the Shuswap Trail Alliance on more than 120 greenway trail projects throughout the region. There are over 820 ki-

Government proceeds with the Muskoka Initiative FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes At the Muskoka G-8 Summit in 2010, Prime Minister Stephen Harper brought ‘maternal, newborn and child health’ to the forefront of the global development agenda. Since then, we have worked together globally, as never before, significantly reducing the number of women who die each year during pregnancy or childbirth, dramatically increasing the number of children who live past the age of five, and preventing an estimat-
ed two million deaths in the last three years from disease alone. During the last three years, we’ve learned important lessons about enhancing immunization and nutrition, about strengthening health care systems, and about the importance of collecting and maintaining vital statistics including birth and death registries. Since this initiative began, the number of women who die each year during pregnancy or childbirth has dropped significantly from 523,000 deaths in 1990 to 289,000 in 2013. The number of children dying under the age of five has dropped drastically from nearly 12 million in 1990 to 6.6 million in 2012. Prime Minister Harper stated “There
is a moral imperative to saving the lives of vulnerable women and children in some of the poorest countries around the world when it is in our power to
do so. It is unacceptable that these vulnerable global citizens die from preventable causes which can be addressed with proven, affordable and cost-
effective solutions – some costing mere pennies.” With the leadership of Prime Minister Harper, Canada has become the global lead-
mand and has moved firmly into balanced conditions,” said Darcy Griffiths, Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board president. While the 401 new listings taken for June were up 19.4 per cent from the 2013 level of 336, inventory for June saw a 7.8 per cent dip to 2,233 from 2,422 last year. “We are seeing more listings than in 2013, but not enough to keep up with the demand in some segments as sales have increased more than inventory,” said Griffiths.
This should make every Canadian proud. -Colin Mayes is the member of Parliament for the OkanaganShuswap riding.

Summer sparks real estate sales Real estate sales in the North Okanagan and Shuswap are on the rise. There were 236 overall sales in June, up 28.3 per cent from 184 units during the same month in 2013. Total residential sales for the month were up 24.1 per cent, with 216 units sold compared to 174. There were 122 single-family home sales, up 27.1 per cent from 96 in June 2013. “After six months of steady growth in sales, the Okanagan-Shuswap housing market is experiencing a rebound in consumer de-
ing voice on freedom, human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, and most importantly, the hands that help the poor and oppressed of this world.

Almost all of a cat’s “play” is not play at all, but practice. There are the hunter and the hunted and let the hunted beware in the inexorable hierarchy of nature. The cat stalking the field mouse in the meadow should not forget the eagle hovering in the sky.” True enough, but they can still wreak havoc where they hang out. We had some family members stay on the property for a year a while back, and in short order their two uncontrolled cats had wiped out everything

I came across a cartoon a few years ago, where this guy was feeding his mutt and in the dog’s thought bubble was that his master is always so kind and addressing his every need and want and that the man must be some kind of god. The next frame was the fellow now feeding his feline, with the thinking the same except that it was himself that must a god! For those that cater to them, (like us) I’m sure that’s not too far off the mark! So if Fluffy figures his human is here for his every whim, then surely he must think that nature is here for his own personal playground for the palate – a veritable feline feast where anything that moves is a munchie.

eats whom. Since the bird lover will sit down to a tasty dish of partridge, quail or pheasant while his heart bleeds for the sparrow or the robin, the situation is likely to become confused. The cat is a hunter for food and the instinct has never been bred out of it. Games with an injured prey have nothing to do with the will to cause it pain or suffering. There are two main objectives; to keep the hunting muscles and speed and timing sharp, or to bring a no longer dangerous specimen to its kittens for similar exercises.

can sure do a lot of harm in a hurry around you and your neighborhood - devouring birds, mice, moles, voles, bugs, butterflies, bunnies, frogs, snakes, squirrels, chipmunks and all else in between. It’s impressive (in a morbid sort of way) to watch a cat in action when its’ zoned in on a target. The approach is almost imperceptible, the eyes unblinking and tail ever so slightly twitching until the little wiggle before the launch. I’ve seen one catch a bird in midflight by leaping at it from a distance of 10 feet, pinning it against a fence then trotting away with the doomed thing still flapping away in its mouth. They can also have a warped sense of fun with their victims by sometimes indulging in a little playtime first, like pouncing or flipping them into the air a few times or simply chewing on them here and there before the fatal bite. One of my childhood memories was of our family cat Rudy using a big curled up wolf spider as a soccer ball on the dining room floor for a few minutes until he finally decided to dine on it. I don’t think any of us will ever forget those gross crunching sounds and the long hairy legs sticking out of his mouth before it went down the hatcheeeyuck!

Events seek public input on Shuswap watershed issues don’t believe water quality and safe water‐ based recreation merit a focused program. “I think the results of this survey show that there is a high level of public support for the proposed programs for 2014,” says Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C director Paul Demenok and chair for the Shuswap Watershed Council. The council is now seeking more public input and ideas through a series of open houses, each one to take place from 3:30 to 6 p.m. Participants will have the opportunity to review the accomplishments of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP), the three-year pilot project that ended this spring.

Shuswap Watershed Council officials are looking for public input this month. Open houses will be held throughout the Shuswap in a followup to an online survey that was held in February and March. Survey respondents were invited to read a Shuswap Watershed Council program outline and respond to a number of questions about the program’s proposed objectives and strategies. The online survey received 226 responses, with 76 per cent of respondents supporting a program focused on water quality and safe water‐based recreation. Another 19 per cent support the notion but

LIVING WELL Most of us have deeply cherished memories of play and adventure in the outdoors, both as a child and as an adult. Many of our best times happen when we are playing or simply relaxing in nature. Connections with the natural world are critical to our health and well-being. Regular physical activity has a powerful influence on our health, both mentally and physically. Being active is recommended as a way to both prevent and treat many kinds of chronic diseases from depression to diabetes to cancer. Health starts in our homes and our neighbourhoods. Our experiences when we are young and the lifestyle choices and habits we make as adults help keep us healthy. Ac-
cess to greenspaces and recreational facilities in our neighbourhoods can make all the difference. A playground at the end of the block can allow a young family to get outside together in the evening and a flat trail with benches can help keep a senior active many months of the year. A recent report from the Canadian Parks Council (Connecting Canadians with Nature: An Investment in the Well-Being of our Citizens) reveals that one in four Canadians are currently obese and the rates are climbing. Additionally, more than one million Canadians are at risk for serious long-term health problems due to vitamin D deficiency. A nature prescription could make a big impact here. The report
states, “Evidence is also mounting that proximity to natural environments is the best predictor of people’s physical activity, more so than proximity to community centres or indoor gyms.” Infrastructure for parks and recreation can be as simple as a well-placed dock or as comprehensive as a large beach area. We often have local governments and community groups to thank for amenities that make the outdoors inviting and accessible. In my town, I enjoy a network of wellmaintained mountain bike trails that stretch for hundreds of kilometers. Anyone can use them, from hikers to bikers, and they are completely free. The municipality donates money to our trail alliance every year and individuals can also donate if they wish. Providing parks and greenspaces are not only ways to beautify communities and make
life more pleasant; these spaces also play a central role in our health and well-being. For more information see Plan H – Parks & Greenspaces (http:// planh.ca/take-action/ healthy-environments/ natural-environments/ page/parks-greenspace).

Do you have a wheat allergy There is a lot of media attention being given to this subject and there is a lot of confusion around the subject. The first major problem is the difference between a food allergy and a food sensitivity. A food allergy is mediated by a part of the immune system called IgE and is normally fairly immediate: hives, itching and possibly anaphylaxis. This is what people with seafood or peanut allergies die from. It is extremely serious. A food sensitivity on the other hand is mediated by the part of the immune system called IgG and is usually a delayed and much less serious reaction. The reaction can occur up to 3 days after you eat the food and can range from sore joints to tiredness to ear and sinus infections. Every person is different and it is hard to pin down the particular symptom to the food you ate 2 days ago. This is where wheat comes into play for most people. Often people are suspicious that they have a problem with a particular food and will remove it from their diet. I hate to see people do this without some proper testing because they can remove a perfectly good

Are you in a health profession? and nutritious food for no reason. The gold standard for testing has always been an elimination diet. You remove the food completely from your diet for 4 to 6 weeks. Removing it for a few days won’t tell you anything. There can be absolutely no cheating or you will defeat the whole test. This means you have to really read labels carefully as you would be amazed where you will find things (wheat in soy sauce for instance). At the end of
the 4 to 6 weeks your symptoms should be gone as the food has washed out of your system. At that point eat a big serving and see what happens. If you have problems with the food , you will definitely find out! Remember to only re-introduce one food at a time if you have eliminated several as different foods can cause different symptoms. This is a free and very good way of determining a food sensitivity but it can be hard to follow.
An alternative to a food elimination diet is some sort of blood test that measures IgG antibodies in the blood. In order to make this test more accurate you need to eat as many of the foods on the test as possible within a week and a half before the test. If you haven’t eaten a food for quite a while, the antibodies will have washed out of your system and you may get a false negative on the test. This test is not covered by B.C. Medical but consists of just a finger
prick and can cover a wide range of foods. Food sensitivities give a lot of people grief. It is definitely worth investigating if you think you may have a problem. I would urge you not to just arbitrarily remove a food from your diet (unless it is sugar) without making sure you actually do have a problem with it. By Marcia Baile

Royal Canadian Legion #62
Old tradition: Punch and Judy come alive at Caravan.
COMING EVENTS
By Barb Brouwer
MArKet neWS StAff
A theatre tradition with roots in 15th century Italy will be played out when Mr. Punch appears at Caravan Farm Theatre’s summer production of The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy. Descended from the Italian clown featured in the Commedia Dell’ Arte medieval tradition, Pulcinella showed up in England at the wedding festivities of Charles II in 1662. Mr. Punch was popular with British puppeteers, who used the new “wooden star” to comment on the politics of the day. Punch then morphed into a hand puppet featured in little street-corner stages and acquired a wife named Judy. At Caravan, the narrator, in the form of the Devil, introduces the audience to the show and the Punch and Judy tradition with a traditional puppet show. But the Punch and Judy puppets become actors, with both puppets and live actors interacting throughout the play. “The focus is on Mr. Punch, the ultimate trickster,” says Caravan Farm Theatre artistic director Courtenay Dobbie. “He misbehaves; he likes playing tricks and jokes.” But a rebellion is brewing. Judy decides she wants out of the Punch and Judy show. She’s tired of her husband’s misbehaviour, the show and its lack of class. “She wants to do something more beautiful, and she’s fallen for an actor in another show, the beguiling Oedipus Rex.” Judy follows her dreams, leaving Mr. Punch for her newfound love. “For the first time, Mr. Punch feels something, so he goes on this journey to becoming a full human being,” Dobbie says. “In order to win Judy back, he has to learn kindness and compassion towards others.” In his journey, Mr. Punch has to perform his version of Oedipus Rex. This play within a play

n Puppets or people – these are some of the faces featured in The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy, Caravan Farm Theatre’s family friendly summer production. is called The Stabbed Eyeball – a Rock Opera. Dobbie describes The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy as a huge spectacle, complete with live actors, hand puppets and other epic puppets. Backstage the design team has been hard at work but loving every minute, with set design by Marshall McMahen, costume design by Carmen Allatorre, puppet and mask design by Catherine Hahn and lighting design by Stephan Bircher. “Three huge puppets float 20 feet in the air, one of them a big snake, a serpent from the tree of life,” Dobbie says, noting a live, upbeat band provides accompaniment. The play was written by successful, young Victoria playwright Jacob Richmond, with music created by well-known
musician, illustrator and writer Hank Pine, also of Victoria. Dobbie is directing the play with former Caravan artistic director Jennifer Brewin, who is back on the farm to lend a hand. The cast of The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy includes some veterans – Toronto’s Paul Braunstein as Mr. Punch, and Colin Doyle, also of Toronto, as the Devil. Judy is played by Vancouver’s Sarah May Redmond and Calgary’s Chris Hunt is back, this time as Mr. Scaramouche. “It’s a special piece and we’re all really excited about it. This one has such great visual treats for the children,” Dobbie says. The show runs rain or shine at 7:30 p.m. from July 22 to Aug. 24. Tickets are available at www.ticketseller.ca or toll free at 1-866-311-1011.

Elsie is 97 years old and lives at Picadilly Terrace. Her “postage stamp” garden is her passion with the planning and planting countdown beginning in the winter; each year promising to be a scaled down version of the last. There are many facets to this garden which includes flowers, fruits and vegetables all creatively mixed together to maximize every square inch of her tiny space. She is currently cultivating raspberries, strawberries, lemons, peppers, tomatoes, onions, pumpkins, lettuce, cucumber, beans, dill, squash, zucchini, sunflowers, astilbes, pansies, petunias, geraniums, nasturtiums, snapdragons, sweet william, assorted lilies, Christmas cactus, mini carnations, larkspur delphinium, begonias, primrose, zinnia, cosmos, dahlias, dracaena, marigolds, nemesia and dusty miller. A few of the plants were started from seed indoors in her little apartment and then transplanted into pots to add to her assortment of shelves and plant stands outside. It is a rainbow of colour in every direction and is enjoyed by all who happen to pass by!!

Chase tackles water use
High rate: More consumed than Canadian average. Do you know how much water you use on a daily basis? Do you think you could reduce the amount of water you use and, if so, how? These are pertinent questions as the Village of Chase begins to seek public input on the development of a water conservation strategy. Clean water is an integral part of a healthy community. Having clean water pumped to your house and flow out of your faucets is an important service that is easy to take for granted. However, there is a complex web of infrastructure, maintenance and treatment activities that must take place for water to get from its natural source into your house. Today, many communities, including Chase, are facing considerable pressure to ensure that the water going through treatment and distribution systems is used responsibly. There is increasing concern about the en-

Horse thieves strike Chase Two horses have been stolen from a Chase family. RCMP Sargent Gary Heebner said police received a report on June 25 that two horses went missing around 3 p.m. on June 23. Peter Anthony, who owns the horses, said his brother informed him that Polly, a twoand-a-half year old and Willow, an eight-yearold mare, were loaded up into a black trailer. The mare is a chestnut (reddish-brown) colour with a long white blaze on her face and the two-year-old is a little darker brown with a small white patch between her eyes. Anthony said the horses were his children’s and the family is upset. “They’re a part of my family,” said Anthony. “We can’t have people going around stealing stock, that’s just not right.” If the horses are spotted, the public is asked
to call the Chase RCMP.
RCMP assault
A Chase Mountie was treated for injuries after a traffic stop turned into an assault in Pritchard over the weekend. An officer pulled over a vehicle on Stony Flats Road in Pritchard just before 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 5, for suspicion of impaired driving. During the traffic stop, the driver and a passenger began beating the officer, police say. The vehicle took off, leaving the injured Mountie on the road until a passerby stopped to help. The driver of the suspect vehicle and its two passengers were arrested a short time later. The trio have since been released and are expected to appear in court next month. The injured officer has been released from hospital.
Fire sparked
Fireworks lit up the
land as well as the sky in this year’s Canada Day display in Chase. A couple of small spot fires were easily doused by members of the Chase Volunteer Fire Department, but one larger one took hold in an inaccessible area and required assistance from Ministry of Forest fire crews. “We had fireworks as we do every year,” said Village of Chase chief administrative officer Joni Heinrich. “There were a couple of spot fires up in the area closer to where the fireworks were being let off and we had to stop the show halfway through to handle them.” The fireworks were shot out over Shuswap Lake from the Mattey Bros. lumber yard at the top of the hill on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Chase. Heinrich says Chase firefighters had foamed down the area prior to the show and had plenty of water at the scene.

Volunteer firefighters also did a sweep of the area at the conclusion of the fireworks display at approximately 11:15 p.m. That is when they discovered a fire that had started low down on the hillside in an area they were unable to reach. “We had to stop the trains and the Ministry of Forests came in,” said
Heinrich, pointing out firefighters remained on scene to make sure the .5 hectare fire was contained. “We’re really appreciative of their service.” Kayla Pepper, fire information officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, says forestry fire crews were on scene until early Wednesday morning.

Rescue after quad flips Shuswap Search and Rescue assisted in transporting a critically injured ATV operator out of the bush to a waiting air ambulance on Sunday, July 6. Nine volunteer members responded to the call for assistance from BC Ambulance Service paramedics, who had managed to hike in to where the patient, a middle-aged man, had flipped his quad near Anglemont.
Due to the terrain, search and rescue was needed to assist in bringing the man out. “When we got out to the scene, we were able to put the stretcher onto a special wheel and we wheeled him out the approximately two kilometres to the ambulance, which then took him to the helicopter,” said John Schut, search manager. He notes the ground was very
wet and slippery in the area on the Sunday afternoon due to a sudden rainstorm. The man had been out on his ATV with two friends at the time of the accident. Chase RCMP were called to the scene and are conducting an investigation. The man was in critical condition at the time of the transport. His current condition is not known.

Ramifications of the Indonesian election
Gwynne Dyer Only a very bad novelist would dare to write a scenario as simplistic as the current presidential election in Indonesia. A young, attractive, squeaky-clean man of the people running against a rich old general trailing war crimes accusations behind him: can’t you come up with a plot a bit more original than that? Joko Widodo, universally known in Indonesia as Jokowi, is actually a good deal older than he looks: he’s 53. And former General Prabowo Subianto has never been found guilty of the war crimes and murders he is alleged to have committed: none of the generals who served the former dictator Suharto has been brought to trial. But the two men could hardly be more different, and Indonesia’s 190 million voters could hardly face a more striking choice. Suharto was overthrown by a non-violent popular revolution in 1998 after 30 years in power, and Indonesia has been a democracy ever since. But it has been a very corrupt democracy in which the old economic and military elites continued to dominate politics, and people from outside that charmed circle rarely rose to promi-
ing dictator, Sukarno, and the brutal general who followed him, Suharto. Prabowo married Suharto’s daughter in 1983, and served as a special forces commander trying to eliminate resistance fighters in Indonesian-occupied East Timor and separatists in West Irian. In both conflicts he was accused of human rights abuses, but few Indonesians remember that now. The accusations that just won’t go away concern his role
“It would be a great pity if such a man bluffed and blustered his way into the Indonesian presidency, but such things happen from time to time.” in kidnapping, torturing and murdering prodemocracy protesters during the non-violent campaign to oust Suharto in 1998. “It was my superiors who told me what to do,” Prabowo insisted in one of the presidential debates, but that is not much of a defence in law. Prabowo is also accused of inciting the anti-Chinese pogroms that swept Jakarta in the last days of Suharto’s rule in 1998. He was dismissed from the army shortly thereafter and went into exile in Jordan. He stayed abroad for a decade, but on his return to Indonesia he immediately went into politics. He failed to get elected as vice-president in 2009,
but five years later he’s going for the top job – and he may actually get it. It helps that Prabowo’s campaign has virtually unlimited funds thanks to his brother, business tycoon Hashim Djojohadikusomo, who has amassed a fortune of $700 million. It helps too that the other business tycoons who control the Indonesian media, seeing him as their best chance to preserve the existing style of politics, are giving him wall-to-wall support. Despite his wealthy background, Prabowo is very good at pretending to be the champion of the poor. His political style is somewhere between Juan Peron and Benito Mussolini, belligerently anti-foreign and over-the-top dramatic: he has been known to arrive at rallies riding on a thoroughbred horse. “Our sources of wealth are controlled by foreign hands, foreign companies, so the wealth flows out from the country... Indonesia’s wealth should be controlled by our country,” Prabowo said in the second presidential debate on June 15. He didn’t mention exactly who in the country should control the wealth (for obvious reasons), but the rhetoric works: on the eve of the election on Wednesday, he is neck-and-neck with Jokowi. It would be a great pity if such a man bluffed and blustered his way into the Indonesian presidency, but such things happen from time to time.

HARRISON, ALETHEA MARY Alethea Mary Lacey was born at home, at 30 West Street, Crewkerne, England, the only child of Elsie and Sidney Lacey. This was where she grew up and lived until the day she married Ben Harrison on Sept. 18, 1951 and became Alethea Harrison. The two were married for 62 years. One son, Kim, was born in England in 1954, and in 1957 the family immigrated to Canada, balancing the risks with the prospect of opportunity. They first settled on Vancouver Island where Ben found work as a herdsman and Alethea as a cook at Genoa Bay Farm near Duncan. Son Alan was born at Duncan in 1959. In 1961, the family moved to Salmon Arm after Ben received a transfer at his milktesting job. They settled in the Silver Creek area. The twins, Teresa and Trevor, were born at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in 1961. Alethea became involved in the community with the Women’s Institute, as a cub scout leader, as a member of the Salmon Arm Tennis Club and later with the Shuswap Singers. She worked as a day care assistant for many years, and later as a lunchtime supervisor at Salmon Arm West School. Ben and Alethea purchased property on Foothill Road and built a house in which they resided until the present. After Ben’s retirement in 1990, Alethea and Ben travelled to Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Raratonga, and the Hawaiian Islands, across Canada to Newfoundland and up to Alaska. After her grandchildren were born, Alethea supported them by attending all the sports they were involved with over the years, offering encouragement and advice. She loved her later years, living with Ben through the passing seasons at their property under the shade of the fir and cedar trees, from their window the view of the West Peak of Mt. Ida. She was devoted to her family and giving to the end. Survived by husband Ben, sons Kim (Candy) of Burnaby, B. C., Alan (Debbie), Trevor (Shannon) of Salmon Arm, daughter Teresa (John), of Burnaby, and grandchildren Andrew, David, Faith, Mark, Nick, Ryan, Timmy and Tristan. Memorial service will be held on Monday, July 14th, 2:00 pm at Bowers Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations in Alethea’s name may be made to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation. On line condolences may be sent to Alethea’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Cynthia passed away peacefully at our family’s home in Chase BC on July 1, 2014. For 33 years Chase was where she had made our house a home. Cynthia was born in Whitehorse, Yukon to her parents Rev. Russell and Darlene Hart. Cynthia loved animals, crafting, anything to do with Unicorns and most of all being in nature. Her community was very important to her and she had great memories of her time volunteering with the Scouts. She took great pride in her work ethic and is best known for her impeccable customer service. Her contagious smile and giggle will be missed but never forgotten. Most important to her were her children and husband. Even as her health was failing and her children were grown and on their own they were always on her mind and she never stopped showing them unconditional love and support. Cynthia is survived by her husband William Hudson, daughter Andrea Hudson and son Daniel Hudson. She is also survived by her father Russell Hart of Salmon Arm BC, brother, Walter Hart of Ponoka AB and sister, Lyn Winfield of Renton WA, and a host of loving and supportive family and friends.

MCLEAN, S.N. February 12, 1927 – June 28, 2014 The birds on the South Thompson River have lost a great friend. On June 28, on a beautiful afternoon, the spirit of a very good man found its way to the light. Sinclair Neil McLean passed away in his own bed, surrounded by his loving family and nine grandchildren. Two turtledoves flew by the window and two deer came to graze below. Neil was born February 12, 1927 in Prince George to Sinclair and Helen McLean, a pioneer lumbering family. As the youngest son, he learned the many facets of the business, from river driving logs down the Fraser to every task in the mill. He left to attend Vancouver College, later graduated from Lord Bing High School, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Forestry at UBC in 1951. He devoted his professional life to the practice of forestry. After several years in Malakwa, Taft, and Sicamous country, he and his young family moved to Kamloops to work for W.W. Stevens, a forestry consultant. In 1961, after Mr. Stevens’s untimely demise, Neil and his wife, E.M. Helen, purchased the business that became S.N. McLean Forestry Services Ltd. The company operated for over 40 years out of the main office in Kamloops, as well as those in Castlegar and Prince George. Neil sponsored numerous summer forestry students. Many who followed in his footsteps in professional forestry service took with them the ethics and integrity he believed to be necessary to every forester’s imprint on the profession. Neil’s persistent health problems were met with equal perseverance and tenacity. He never let them overcome his joie de vivre and his passion for living a full life. He found a spiritual resonance in nature, something that brought a particular joy, whether it was the deep woods of his youth or at the edge of the South Thompson River in later years. He truly believed in the Rotary motto, “Service above self”, and served as a life member of Kamloops North Rotary and the Fraser/Fort George Museum. Numerous and quality friendships were forged through Rotary especially. Neil was also a long time member of the Association of B.C. Forest Professionals and the Forest History Association of B.C. In earlier years, he was a member of the Eagle Valley Fish & Game Club and the Sicamous Kinsmen. Neil is survived by E.M. Helen, who is his life long mate and wife of nearly 62 years, as well as his three children: son Murray McLean (Tammy Abrahamson); daughter Maureen Young (Allen); and daughter Kerry-Lynne Small. Neil also leaves behind his grandchildren: Lachlan McLean (Sayena Fariji); Lucas McLean (Jessica); Lana McLean; Zachary Young (Natalie Peace); Taylor-Marie Young (Robert Fischer); Jacob Young (Jenna Patterson); Nicholas Small; Michael Small (Katie Almeida); Samantha Small; and his cherished great grandson, Lincoln Sinclair McLean. Neil is also survived by son-in-law Henry Small; his remaining sister, Marilyn Goertsen; and many nieces and nephews. Neil was predeceased by his youngest sister, Lynne Mann. Dearest Neil—devoted husband, loving father, and beloved Poppa: your flag flies at half-mast; your mountains have been climbed; and your guest book, filled to the last page, is now complete. We acknowledge the quality care provided by the physicians and nurses of Royal Inland Hospital and the Kamloops home support nurses. A ceremony in recognition of Neil’s life will be held at the South Thompson Inn at 3438 Shuswap Road in Kamloops on Saturday, August 23, 2014, beginning at 3 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations in remembrance of Sinclair Neil McLean may be made to Kamloops North Rotary (Box 24036 70-700 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC, V2B8R3); the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (600-60 St. Clair Avenue, East Toronto, ON, M4T1N5); or any charity of choice.

ADAMS, AL AI Adams was born in Cree Wood Minnigaff, Scotland Feb. 18, 1921 to William and Barbara Adams. In 1926 AI’s family made the journey from Scotland to Canada. The first place they settled was Enderby where AI attended MV Beattie School for one year before the family moved to Salmon Arm where he attended school until taking a job working in the bush in the Mabel Lake area. He soon found his talent and enjoyment of carpentry and this led him to work on such projects as the Shuswap Lake General hospital, the snow sheds on the Rogers Pass and the Mica Dam. In 1946 AI married Phyllis (nee:Caldwell) and they moved to the Winfield area for a couple of years but soon returned to the Salmon Arm area where he built the family home near five corners. AI and Phyllis raised their family here Bob, Jim and Barb. In 1981 AI and Phyllis moved to White Lake where they built a beautiful home overlooking the lake. Having worked all his life to provide for his family, AI used his carpentry skills in retirement volunteering hundreds of hours helping build the White Lake fire hall. AI built a beautiful 21 foot travel trailer that was customized to their needs. They ventured to the Yukon twice and travelled with friends to many areas of BC, and as avid fisherman they enjoyed years of great fishing, friends and travel. AI enjoyed card playing and always had a crib board handy for a game. He and Phyllis had ongoing daily card games of crib and of spite and malice. They enjoyed going to old time dances for many years. AI loved to read and his interests were wide although he enjoyed the stories of pioneers and true historic adventures. AI was a loving partner to Phyllis and a great Dad. He was a loyal friend and will be greatly missed by his family and friends. AI is predeceased by his parents and his brother Louis. Having lost Phyllis, his loving partner of 67 years this past November, AI leaves to mourn his children, Jim Adams of White Lake, Barb Adams of Enderby, his honourary daughter Lark Lindholm of Enderby and Bob Adams of Camrose and his grandchildren Devin and Ben Adams of White Lake, and Brian Adams and Teresa Adams of Camrose. The family would like to thank all the staff and residents of Piccadily Terrace where AI and Phyllis enjoyed their home so much. AI enjoyed playing pool and cards there with his friends, as well as working his way through their library. Thank you to the staff of Bastion Place staff for the care they gave AI at the end of his journey. No service will be held and in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation.
