Engineers have delivered their recommendations on ways to save the homes at risk from the creek bank erosion along Newsome Creek in Sorrento. The question remaining is who will pay for the expensive mitigation work. Three options were proposed in

the report compiled by engineering firms Westrek and Kerr Wood Leidal, ranging in cost from $4.8 million to $6.2 million. The area studied for the report spans 520 metres of the creek running from the Trans-Canada Highway to Shuswap Lake. The houses at risk from eroding banks are located along this stretch of the creek.
According to a report from last fall, four properties along Sorrento’s Caen Road could be affected by imminent bank failure. The latest report, dated June 7, which was discussed at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s June 20 board meeting, said nine possible options for mitigating erosion and slope stability concerns were identified.

After closer consideration and input from the community, three options remain for consideration. A rock-lined channel is one option and would cost $4.8 million. The other options are a culvert almost three metres in diameter and a sheet pile wall with bed stabilizers; they would cost $5 million and $6.2 million respectively. Continued on A4

Voters need to sign off on park proposal Jim Elliot Salmon Arm Observer
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) board voted to take the next steps towards the creation of another community park for the South Shuswap. In order to do so, the CSRD board advanced a plan to purchase the 9.5 acre property in Blind Bay known as Centennial Field for $2.75 million. The field, comprised of two parcels of land located at 2690 Centennial Dr. and 2546 Blind Bay Rd., are owned by Shuswap Lake Estates Ltd. and Shuswap West Developments Ltd. Consent from voters in the CSRD’s Electoral Area C is required to borrow $1,770,000 required to fund the land purchase. An alternative approval process (AAP) was endorsed by the board as the method for obtaining the consent of voters. Under the AAP, 10 per cent of Area C voters would have to make a formal petition op-
posing the proposed borrowing in order to stop it from going forward. According to the CSRD, if that 10 per cent of voters is opposed, the borrowing would not be able to proceed without holding a referendum. Bylaws will be submitted to the Provincial Inspector of Municipalities for authorization to proceed with the alternative approval process. Authorization can take up to six weeks. Once it is received, the matter will return to the CSRD board to set the details and timeline of the AAP. According to the CSRD, paying off the loan will cost the owners of the average residential property in Area C $48 per year based on a 25year loan. Regional district staff had recommended borrowing $2,025,000 to purchase the land for the park, but the board decided to use $1 million from the Area C Park Land Acquisition Reserve to keep the loan smaller.

recently approved Area C Parks Plan,” Demenok said. He noted many people assume Centennial Field is already a CSRD park because of the Music in the Bay and Canada Day programs which use the space. He said he anticipates grants from senior levels of government could be used to fund improvements to the park. The CSRD has pledged to work with a landscape architect to develop the park if the purchase goes through; they say this process will involve plenty of consultation with the public. According to the CSRD, a professional appraisal of the property valued the land at $2,006,000. The appraiser noted that arriving at an accurate market value was difficult because there are no properties in the region with a similar size and features to compare it to. The results of the AAP are expected to be reported to the CSRD board at its September or October meeting.

Mitigation work could cost up to $6.2 million Continued from A1 “It’s a very concerning situation. We have people who are living in homes that are tottering on the edge of a ravine. Those folks are understandably anxious and they appreciate anything that we can do so they can be made whole again and this is a good step in that
direction,” said CSRD Area C director Paul Demenok. CSRD board chair Rhona Martin noted that while the mitigation options are very expensive, she noted a recent meeting with MLA Greg Kyllo and provincial government officials ended positively. Demenok said he is delighted

sponsibility of local governments to apply for funding for stream mitigation works. Hamilton’s letter placed the onus on the province by invoking the recent court decision which involved the District of Sicamous. According to Demenok, there is disaster mitigation funding available which could be accessed by the CSRD and government ministries to perform work related to Newsome Creek. One part of the work, which is already underway, is the replacement of culverts where the creek crosses under roads. The BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure told The Observer six culverts would be replaced before spring 2020. Demenok moved that a cost estimate be reached for assessment of Newsome Creek

He said the study could be paid for under the disaster mitigation funding application which provincial agencies may be applying for to conduct other work related to the creek.
While he agreed the study should be undertaken, Hamilton said there are larger problems than Newsome Creek alone and the onus could also be placed on the province to pay for having a cost estimate on such a study done. The board approved the resolution.
CITY OF SALMON ARM WATER CONSERvATION REquEST Based on the current year’s snowpack, timing of snowmelt, lack of precipitation and forecasted summer conditions we anticipate a strong likelihood that very dry conditions will result in low stream-flows and lake levels this year. The purpose of this advisory is to notify residents that in the event of another drought during the summer of 2019 the City may have to implement more stringent water restrictions and conservation measures to help ensure that the City’s water delivery system can keep up with the demand for drinking water, commercial and industrial use, while also being able to maintain water levels in the City’s water reservoirs for future use and fire protection. We appreciate your co-operation in adhering to the annual sprinkling restrictions which are in effect from May 15 to Sept. 15. Residents are encouraged to conserve water wherever possible and reminded that No irrigation/sprinkling is permitted on Monday’s.

Restoring the damaged houseboating reputation Jim Elliot Salmon Arm Observer
Shuswap Tourism and Shuswap Economic Development published a statement expressing their disappointment with the closure of Waterway Houseboats due to the company going into receivership on June 11. “Waterway Houseboats, along with Twin Anchors Houseboat Vacations, and Bluewater Houseboat Vacations are responsible for establishing Sicamous as the Houseboat Capital of Canada, as well as offering a unique way to showcase the incredible scenery and recreational amenities found on and around Shuswap and Mara Lakes,” the statement reads. The note, posted to Shuswap Tourism’s website, states that the Shuswap’s tourism operators look forward to welcoming visitors to experience house boating and the other activities the area has to offer. It also offers a few tips for those who booked with Waterway and have not received a refund from the company that is now in the control of the bank’s receiver. They recommends those who booked their trips with credit cards contact the credit card company to see if they are eligible for reimbursement.

Our HistOry in Pictures
The summer is heating up, and many people are excited about getting out and into the wilderness for overnight trips. Soon enough, a fire ban will be put in place, and our province will be on fire once again. Camping is a really fun way to spend the summer months, especially with so many amazing places right in our backyard. But we have to work to keep them amazing. By making sure that our fires are properly extinguished before bed and before packing up to leave a site, we can help limit the spread of wildfires. It doesn’t take that much effort to pack extra water, kick apart coals and put the fire out before leaving a site. That’s not the only way to help minimize fire risk across the province. Even still, we hear stories of smokers throwing their butts out of windows. It can so quickly catch dry grass on fire. It is simply shocking how quickly a fire can start. Recently, it was reported that an arsonist Max Branchflower writes on the back of this photograph: “My cousin Bess Ralston and I … taken at Gold Creek Falls, Revelstoke – Arrowhead Road.” But where could be behind some of the fires burning is Gold Creek Falls near Revelstoke?

I was still yawning when we left the dock to head out on the water the following day. With our lines finally in the water, we started in on our Tim Hortons toasted bagels and orange juice. I hadn’t even taken two bites when my rod tip began to twitch. I set the hook and the fight was on—well sort of, first a short run, then it turned and tried to go under the boat. Cory managed to outmaneuver the fish from the helm. It took out a few hundred feet of line, stopped, hesitated for a brief moment and then proceeded to head on down river into fast water taking out line at will. That fish was in total control. I wasn’t even in the game. Two hours later we cut the line and admitted defeat. Who knows how large it might have been. Like I said, my eight-footer the previous day is the largest fish I have ever caught—so far.

Sierra Club critical of clearcutting GueSt Column Jens Wieting Earlier this month, hundreds of British Columbians visited MLA offices across the province demanding protection of endangered old-growth forests and improved forest management, during a day of action organized by Sierra Club BC. In response, David Elstone, the executive director of the Truck Loggers Association, accused our organization of not acknowledging the economic importance of old-growth logging and claimed that clearcutting what little remains is sustainable (B.C. has most sustainably managed forests in the world, June 6). He was joined by Black Press Media columnist Tom Fletcher repeating outdated claims about the climate benefit of replacing old-growth forests with young trees. Fletcher ignores modern science showing that clearcutting ancient trees results in the rapid loss of huge amounts of carbon accumulated over hundreds of years (Urban environmental ‘emergency’ routine wearing thin, June 9). Sierra Club BC is concerned about the economic, social and ecological impact of clearcutting endangered old-growth forests.
True sustainability is leaving similar values and conditions for future generations. But B.C.’s ancient giants have been reduced to a fraction of their former extent, replaced by young, uniform forests cut in short rotation forestry, never allowed to grow old again. Elstone claims B.C.’s forest management is the most sustainable in the world. However, satellite images show that on Vancouver Island, we are losing what little forest remains intact three times faster than Brazil’s primary rain forest in the Amazon is being destroyed. The current old-growth logging rate on Vancouver Island alone is about 10,000 hectares a year or more than 30 soccer fields a day. The inescapable conclusion is that oldgrowth logging on Vancouver Island alone contributes millions of tonnes annually to provincial carbon dioxide emissions. Elstone highlights that in recent years close to half of the volume cut on Vancouver Island came from old-growth. Today, the Island’s productive old-growth (forests with relatively big trees, not bonsai sized trees that government and industry like to include to inflate numbers) has been reduced to about 20 per cent of its former extent. Only six per cent of the original Island productive old-growth is protected. Elstone is in denial about old-growth logging coming to an end, one way or the other.
This should be a huge concern for everyone with a job in the woods. We will not leave anything close to what we found for future generations. Plants and animal species that depend on old-growth will vanish. Climate impacts will worsen without the shield of intact ancient forests to reduce droughts, floods and fires. Degraded landscapes will impact the quality of drinking water and allow fewer options for a diverse economy that includes tourism and recreation. The good news is it is not too late to save what remains of B.C.’s old-growth, restore second-growth forests and transition to truly sustainable forest management. We can still choose to save the web of life that depends on intact forests and move to carefully planned selective logging. This would deliver “negative emissions” and wood products at the same time, capturing more carbon in our forests than is lost as a result of harvesting. Creating more jobs with less ecosystem damage per cubic metre of wood deserves our full support. The longer we wait the harder this change will be. The first step is for industry and government to stop the denial reflected in Elstone and Fletcher’s opinion pieces. Jens Wieting is a senior forest and climate campaigner with Sierra Club BC.
Trail Alliance to oversee planning Jim Elliot Salmon Arm Observer
The Shuswap Trail Alliance will handle day-to-day operations on the Sicamous-to-Armstrong rail trail project as it moves into the design and planning stages. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District board agreed to retain the Trail Alliance for the managerial role based on their expertise with trail projects in the area and on the recommendation of the Sicamous-to-Armstrong
rail corridor governance advisory committee. In making the appointment, the CSRD was acting on behalf of their partners in the trail project—the Splatsin First Nation, the Regional District of North Okanagan and the District of Sicamous. Funds to assist the planning stage of the project were obtained through a $500,000 grant from the BC Rural Dividend Fund. The District of Sicamous and
the CSRD’s Sicamous and Area E Economic Opportunity Fund each contributed $168,000. “The Shuswap Trail Alliance has proven time and time again they are well prepared and knowledgeable. They are tried, tested and true in the Shuswap Region,” said CSRD board chair Rhona Martin at the board’s June 20 meeting. The trail alliance will also be able to help fundraise for the project. As a non-profit, the alliance can accept donations, issue tax re-
ceipts and collect donated funds in a reserve account for the project. Grant applications totalling approximately $13 millions have been made to fund the actual construction of the trail. Once completed, the rail trail will follow the disused railway corridor to connect the communities of Sicamous, Grindrod, Enderby, Spallumcheen and Armstrong. The undeveloped rail trail corridor remains closed to public use at this time.
Rain keeps Seymour Arm road closed Martha Wickett Salmon Arm Observer
The Ross Creek-Seymour Arm Forest Service Road will remain closed for longer than initially expected. On Sunday, June 23, the road was closed by two mudslides at the two-kilometre mark between Seymour Arm and St. Ives. On Tuesday afternoon, a ministry of transportation and infrastructure official told the Observer that more rain for the area is currently forecast for the end of the week and possibly into the weekend. “The road remains closed and is anticipated to remain closed until at least early next
week. No equipment is currently clearing the current mudslide area, given the ongoing risk for more debris to come down because of the additional rain,” stated the ministry official. The ministry says road clearing will begin when it is safe to do so. The Celista – Blueberry Forest Service Road (commonly known as the ‘1025’ road), which connects with the Scotch Creek Forest Service Road, ‘690,’ is open and available as a viable alternate route.

Lower lake levels may elevate milfoil growth Jim Elliot Eagle Valley News
Lower than average snow packs and lake levels could lead to a bumper crop of Eurasian milfoil in Shuswap Lake this summer. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District board received an overview of annual reports from the regional district’s milfoil control program, courtesy of environmental services co-ordinator Hamish Kassa at the board’s June 20 meeting. Kassa said the program’s main goal is to reduce impacts on recreation and biodiversity caused by the invasive aquatic plant. Kassa said an increased nuisance from the plants is expected this year as a lower-than-average
snowpack has led to lower lake levels that could allow more sunlight to reach the milfoil. Last year saw a relatively small amount of milfoil removed with 33.5 tonnes coming out of the lake. This was only a fraction of the 2016 harvest which totalled 164.5 tonnes. Kassa said if need be, the program can scale up their harvesting efforts to seven days a week. He likened it to budgeting for snow removal, as the milfoil’s growth rate is dependent on unpredictable environmental factors like available sunlight, nutrient uptake and water chemistry. Kassa said that while the goal of eradicating the stubborn milfoil is not
achievable it can be controlled. He explained the entire Shuswap system is infested with the weeds and they are likely here to stay but through management, their prevalence can be greatly reduced. With the right mix of soil and other conditions, Kassa said a 90 per cent reduction in the size of weed beds is achievable. Mayor Terry Rysz asked Kassa if the milfoil is prevalent in the Sicamous channel and what effect dredging the channel would have on its prevalence. Kassa said the channel is one of their top priority sites as milfoil has been well-established there since 1979. He said if they were to stop treating the

Another adjournment has taken place in the legal proceedings involving Matrix Gathergood, the man charged in the shooting death at the Salmon Arm Church of Christ. On Tuesday, June 25, Gathergood once again appeared in Salmon Arm provincial court via video from Okanagan Correctional Centre in Oliver. His lawyer, Jonathan Avis, told
Judge Jeremy Guild this is “a matter where police are in the process of vetting some additional disclosure,” so he asked for an adjournment. Judge Guild agreed to an adjournment to Tuesday, July 16, 10:30 a.m. Gathergood, 25, is charged with first degree murder in the shooting on April 14 of Gordon Parmenter and with aggravated assault in the wounding of Paul Derkach. Both were attending church at the time.

Kassa said they monitor most lakes that have boat launches since milfoil most often spreads on boats. According to the 2018 milfoil program report, Joyce Lake, Gardom Lake and the portion of Adams Lake within the CSRD boundary, were all surveyed for milfoil between September and December 2018. The surveys found no milfoil.

Addressing recommendations of national inquiry Chief commissioner of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls inquiry urges action Michael Postestio Kamloops This Week
The chief commissioner of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) said governments and private-sector organizations can now begin adressing the report’s 231 recommendations. Marion Buller was at Thompson Rivers University Monday, speaking to a packed crowd in the Brown Family House of Learning about the report, which cited the significant, persistent and deliberate pattern of systemic human rights and Indigenous-rights violations and abuses as the cause of the disappearances, murders and violence experienced by Indigenous
women and girls. The report said the violence constituted genocide by the state against Indigenous people. Buller described the report’s recommendations as “legal imperatives” rather than mere recommendations, given Canada’s commitment to international declarations and treaties recognizing Indigenous, human and civil rights. She said the inquiry found “breach upon breach,” arguing the federal government cannot continue to promote an image of Canada upholding those rights while that isn’t the case domestically. The report calls on all forms of government to ensure those rights are recognized
and protected. That includes Indigenous governments, which Buller said were found to not have the full trust of Indigenous women to represent their interests. The recommendations extended to other sectors, including the media, hospitality and transportation industries as well as education and legal systems. Buller said both the public and private sectors should read the report and start to strategize how they can address its recommendations. Provinces and territories could begin to work on education, child care and the justice system independent of the federal government, given their jurisdictions in these areas, she said.

a common theme, Buller said, noting she also heard numerous stories in which police officers went “above and beyond the call of duty to keep women safe, but those stories were few and far between.” Too often, Buller said, she heard women say they had no choice but to sell their bodies to feed their children. Buller also heard from women who said they were trafficked. “I am appalled at the amount of human trafficking that’s taking place in Canada,” she said. “As a judge, I thought I knew everything. I didn’t.” Some of the recommendations Buller noted from the report include the need for better resourced First Nations police services, health care to be treated as a human right, the need for mobile services and the importance of Indigenous languages being made official languages. Safe and affordable transportation services to combat trafficking, greater context when educating students about first contact, expanding legal aid and changing the definition of some offences that imply consent on the part of the victim were other recommendations she noted in her presentation. Looking ahead, Buller said there are many people “who aren’t going to let this issue or this report gather dust all across Canada and internationally.”

White Lake Triathlon a success Cameron Thomson Salmon Arm Observer
The inaugural White Lake Triathlon took place last weekend with positive responses both from participants and onlookers. On Sunday, June 23, more than 200 people gathered together to celebrate community, physical activity and the surroundings of White Lake. The event began with the call of the loons echoing over the lake, welcoming all 85 participants to the area. Some participants completed all three events while others were divided into teams with each team member taking on one leg of the triathlon. The event was organized by the White Lake Residents Association, with the goal of building community in a fun and active way, in this case to attract community mem-

Principal’s Message to the Grad Class of 2019
On the first day of the 2018-2019 school year, we watched a speech made to the graduating class at the California Maritime Academy by Dr. Rick Rigsby. Dr. Rigsby asked the graduates a powerful question – How Am I Living? It was an incredibly powerful speech with a number of very simple messages. I believe the graduates of Chase Secondary would do well to hear Dr. Rigsby’s message again. Here then is a synopsis of Dr. Rigsby’s message. Do not judge. Accept others for who they are and recognize that we all have differences and that is okay. In today’s world this is a particularly important point to remember. Increasingly we see efforts being made to divide us despite the fact that we are better together. Show up early. Be conscientious; punctuality reveals character. You can tell a lot about an individual by the value they place on the time of other people. Be kind. Kindness costs nothing yet buys so much. Imagine a world where everyone went out of their way to be kind to one another. How you do anything is how you do everything. Strive to take the phrase “good enough” out of your lexicon. Good enough means you are settling and

that you have more in you that you can give. When all is said and done, you want to be remembered as a good man/woman. What matters most is how you live. Be honest with yourself and with others. Live your life with integrity. When you see a job that needs doing, don’t look for someone else to take care of it. Step up and do the right thing yourself. You keep standing! Don’t ever give up. When others doubt your ability, you need to believe in yourself. If you are told you’ll never be able to do something, prove the naysayers wrong. To the Grad Class of 2019, my wish for you is that you do a better job of nurturing our planet than the generations before you have done. In this regard, we have failed you. I wish that you find your passion and that you are able to pursue it with all of your heart. I wish you good health in order to live out your dreams and share in the adventures of your friends and family. On behalf of the staff at Chase Secondary, I would like to extend congratulations and best wishes to all of the grads, their families, and their friends. We have prepared you as best we can; now it is up to you to forge your path. Go forth and make your own path in life but be mindful of the question posed by Dr. Rigsby, How Am I Living? I wish all the best to the Chase Secondary Grad Class of 2019. Dave MacDonald Principal, Chase Secondary School

Addressing high attrition rate for new nurses Black Press Media
This June marks the graduation of 130 students from the UBC Okanagan nursing program. Based on current statistics, current high attrition rates for nursing grads indicate many leave the profession after just two years in the workforce. For UBCO nursing professor Kathy Rush, she has committed to changing that attrition rate, having just published a review
that evaluated several programs that support nurses as they begin their new careers. Rush’s review raised the question of why these programs are necessary and do they work. Rush contends without support, new nurses leave the profession at alarming rates. Within the first two years, 33 to 61 per cent of new nurses change their place of employment or leave the profession entirely.
Transition from being an undergraduate student to a full-fledged graduate or registered nurse is often a stressful and turbulent time. “New graduates leave the more protected confines of their student nursing roles to assume the full scope of practice of a professional and are expected to practice independently. Patients are sicker, older and require complex care,” Rush explained.

“When a relatively novice and inexperienced new nurse is confronted with high acuity and expanded responsibilities, coupled with limited organizational resources and heavy workloads, it can be simply overwhelming. “They need support to do this. Evidence shows that new graduate transition programs work. They improve retention, increase new nurse
confidence and competence in providing patient care, and reduce organizational costs. “This is significant for the new graduate and for the institutions in which they work. She noted the majority of programs staggered education over time, with the intent to parallel the evolving developmental needs of new graduate nurses
during their first year of practice. “We found that the majority of programs staggered education, but the evidence was not decisive that it improves outcomes any better than giving education in a concentrated form at the beginning of the program,” Rush said. “While programs are staggering education, few have examined the impact. Our research failed
to find any differences when education was concentrated or staggered, but we are only a single study and much more work needs to be done to determine if it really has advantages. “Most programs are choosing the staggered approach because theories of new nurse transition—such as my co-author Judy Duchscher’s transition shock theory—show
that new graduates pass through fairly predictable stages in their first year of practice. “Transition programs need to be able to support new graduates through these stages of development.”

Co-op steps up for Shannon Sharp Learning Circle It was an especially exciting Friday at Salmon Arm West Elementary last week when the school received a $30,000 donation towards the Shannon Sharp Learning Circle project. Salmon Arm Co-op gas bar manager Marilyn Williams and Ken Earl from the Armstrong Regional Co-op board of directors visited the school June 21 to formally present the funding made available through the Co-op Community Spaces initiative, developed to help protect, beautify and improve spaces across Western Canada. A teacher who spent more than 30 years in the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District, Sharp died earlier this year. To honour her memory and carry forward her passion for the outdoors and education, her co-workers and family began raising funds to install the Shannon Sharp Learning Circle at Salmon Arm West.
Regional district to analyze Area C neighbourhoods Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) planning staff will tour South Shuswap neighbourhoods to do research for a new zoning bylaw for the area. According to the CSRD, the current bylawm more than 20 years old, only applies to the Sorrento, Notch Hill, Blind Bay, Balmoral, Eagle Bay and Wild Rose Bay areas. The regional district plans to create a replacement for the aging bylaw in 2020. The new bylaw would cover all of Electoral Area C. “To help us make informed decisions, we need to know the current land uses,” a CSRD press release reads. CSRD planning staff will be driving around South Shuswap neighbourhoods making notes. According to the regional district, staff ’s observations will be taking place primarily from roads or other public property. No photographs will be taken and all information collected will be treated as confidential. Planning staff will contact property owners if the necessary observations cannot be made from the road or other public property. All research for the project will be conducted from marked CSRD vehicles which are white with the CSRD logo on the side. If residents notice the vehicles parked or driving slowly through their neighbourhood this may be the reason. Further details about the public process involved in creating the new zoning bylaw will be shared in early 2020. Anyone with questions about the project can contact Jan Thingsted by email jthingsted@ csrd.bc.ca or phone 250-833-5918.

Recalling naval history and enemy submarines ShuSwap outdooRS Hank Shelley Many dedicated anglers really enjoy salmon and halibut fishing off B.C.’s coast. Although there are closures at present to protect West Coast chinook salmon stocks to help our southern pods of orcas, a more sinister event was taking place in our more abundant salmon-rich waters back about 1942 and again in 1962. While pruning fruit trees for my good friend Holly Ready a few seasons back, I happened to strike up a conversation with a gal across the fence. She recounted a story of when she was 10 years old. It was 1942, and her dad was manning the lighthouse at a place called Friendly Cove at Nootka Sound. While glancing out onto the ocean one morning, she spotted a periscope moving through the water of the large bay. Possibly the Japanese submarine I-26, commanded by Capt. Minoru Yakota, searching for fresh water supplies and a place to launch a shelling attack on the
village. But the first shelling occurred off Estevan Point lighthouse on June 20, near Hesquiat the Nuu-chah-nulth village, from the submarine’s 114 millimetre, 5.5 inch gun. I-26 remained off the B.C. coast until mid-July. With the Estevan Point attack, all the lighthouses on the B.C. Coast were blacked out. This caused the Russian freighter Uzbekistan to crash onto the rocks at Pachena Point in April 1943. Capt. Meiji Tagami commanded submarine I-25, which took up a position off the mouth off the Columbia River in Washington state on Dec. 18, 1941. Tagami ordered his sub crew to fire on the oil tanker LP St Clair, but that ship safety retreated up the Columbia. While stationed at Work Point Barracks with the 1st Battalion Patricia’s in 1962, my brother was a ship’s electrician on the HMCS destroyer escort Ottawa. Many sea voyages to patrol the B.C. coast
were the order of the times, as the Russian navy was flexing its muscles. On one patrol up the coast, the ships sonar/ radar technicians detected the presence of submarines on the ocean floor. A translated order to surface immediately, or depth charges would be deployed, was given by the Ottawa’s captain at the time. Soon, a Russian submarine surfaced along side the Ottawa, while a sister submarine quietly slid away. Friendly banter ensued with the Russian crewmen and seamen of the Ottawa, including an exchange of hat badges/flashes happened. The Russian subs were mapping our coastline, similar to 1942 when the Japanese subs were doing the same thing. Search and Rescue Buffalo aircraft do patrols along our coastline and Coast Guard patrol vessels also have a limited presence. Besides the vast amount of sea life on the ocean floor, what else could be present besides ancient shipwrecks and plastic waste tangling abandoned fish nets? We really don’t know. Hank Shelley is a local outdoorsman.

Hyde Sawmill
From a hand-operated, gas powered mill in 1942, Hyde Mill has become an operation that takes pride in their workmanship and in supplying a superior product to their valued customer. Hyde Mill has long been a family affair and supplies custom orders to clients across Canada, the United States and overseas. Alan Hyde’s parents moved to the farm in 1951 and he and his brothers worked the mill along with their father Scottie, cutting fencing for the livestock, beams for the barn, lumber for the house and all the outbuildings. Alan left the family farm but returned to with wife, Kim, In 1983 to raise their two children. Rebuilding the mill became the priority and took about one year to complete. Alan began producing railroad ties, which were in great demand at the time, and cutting cedar cants for a re-saw mill along with beams
and timbers for many homes that where built in the Sicamous area. Increasing orders for large oversized timber and beams outgrew the mill’s capability and in 1990, Alan and Kim welcomed her father Merv Siegrist as a partner in the business. Alan and Merv bought a new mill large enough and were in partnership for 10 years until Merv’s retirement. Now, more than 35 years later, Hyde Mill is operated by Alan and son Tyler and continues to provide a high-quality product to its valued customers For more information, go to www.hydesawmill.com

Seahorse project nets national award friendS & neighbourS Leah Blain When Kathy Taylor and Gerry Kendall challenged their fellow Shuswap Needlearts Guild members to the Seahorse Challenge, they had no idea the result would be national recognition. It simply began as a fun group project. There were no rules, so they said. Without putting too fine a point on it, there was a minor one (they weren’t allowed to buy any material. They had to create from their “stash”) and a major
one (they weren’t allowed to use a pattern). “We have such creative people but they follow a pattern,” said Kathy. The point of the challenge was to make the guild members even “more creative.” “Outside the box creative,” added fellow guild member Sandra Baker. They got the idea from a magazine. “Kathy and I thought, ‘We could do something with this,’” said Gerry.
“We’ll make it a challenge; take the shape of a seahorse and make one out of the stuff they had at home – they couldn’t buy anything.” “Everyone has a huge stash of thread, you don’t have to buy more, although that’s fun,” added Kathy. Just about everyone in the guild took up the challenge and the result was impressive. The members made seahorses using buttons, blackwork, crewel, tatting, beading, goldwork, candle-wicking, embroidery, metal and thread. Kathy and Sandra, like the majority of needle art crafters, prefer using patterns, so this was a bit of a challenge
for them. “My inspiration came from an adult colouring book,” said Sandra. “I took it from the colouring book and had it photocopied onto the material… It was a learning experience.” Part of the material she used was her old military uniform. “I cut up a skirt; it’s great material. I was ‘up-cycling.’” “I’m more of a pattern person,” said Kathy. “I have no problem changing it up – changing colours, but I normally follow a pattern.” Gerry is a little more unusual in her creations because she often doesn’t (more

Coping with smoke generated by wildfires Smoke, evacuations, loss, worry – B.C.’s wildfires affect us all. If you are feeling stressed or anxious, you are not alone. The fear of having to flee your home, leave possessions behind and relocate can cause distress, fear and anxiety for you and your loved ones. Even the prospect of living with smoky skies during wildfire season can cause distress. It is normal to have these types of feelings when experiencing an abnormal situation. No one can predict when or where a big wildfire will occur,
so it’s best to think ahead about how to stay mentally healthy this summer, suggests a news release from Interior Health. 1. Prepare yourself and your family. Having a clear emergency plan and kit ready for your family, pets and livestock can ease your mind and allow you to focus on other needs. Visit PreparedBC for resources to help you understand the hazards in your location and then build a family emergency plan. Visit BCCentre for Disease Control for information on wildfire
smoke and steps you can take to protect your health, both indoors and outdoors. 2. Take care of the basics. Stress takes a toll on our physical and mental health. Try to eat well and get enough sleep. Be kind to yourself. Give and accept support. Follow your daily routine. Take a break from disaster news coverage and from thinking and talking about disaster events. 3. Ask for help. Whether it’s with family, friends, a doctor or a counsellor – talking helps. Crisis lines are available to listen and help anytime –not just
during a crisis. People with moderate to severe symptoms that last more than two to four weeks should consult a family physician, if available. Otherwise, reach out to your nearest Mental Health and Substance Use Centre. Symptoms may include: trouble sleeping and eating; feeling depressed or hopeless; being anxious and fearful; having recurring thoughts or nightmares about the event; and avoiding activities or places that are reminders of the event. 4. Help others. Check in on older people
and children. Coping may be more difficult for older adults living alone, those with mental health challenges, or those with few social supports. Reaching out to connect with them can be a big help. Children who have experienced previous wildfire evacuations or adverse health effects due to smoky skies may need help from adults who provide care for them. The Canadian Mental Health Association provides Mental Health Tips For You and Your Family. If you are struggling right now, confidential support and crisis lines are available 24/7.

Frog owners implored to re-home not release Organizations targeting invasive species are teaming up to help protect the Shuswap from insatiable bullfrogs. The Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society (CSISS) has partnered with the Invasive Species Council of B.C. and their campaign, Don’t Let It Loose, to encourage those who own American bullfrogs as pets to rehome the amphibians instead of releasing them into the wild. In late May, CSISS staff posted signs near waterbodies where pet-owners may be tempted to release their unwanted pet bullfrogs into the wild, urging them to re-home the invasive amphibians instead.
The American bullfrog is among the top 100 worst invasive species in the world. Voracious predators, these bullfrogs will eat anything that fits inside their mouth, including native and endangered frogs and salamanders, songbirds, mice, and snakes. This aggressive behaviour has led to a documented decrease in native frog populations wherever the bullfrogs are introduced. The American bullfrog is native to eastern North America but never would have made it west over the Rocky Mountains and into B.C. without the help of humans. A popular pet, bullfrogs are often bought
as tadpoles, but as they grow to adults and become unmanageable, they are released into the wild where they
wreak havoc on natural ecosystems. The signs CISSS posted features an Invaders Wanted warn-

The economy-versus-environment debate is wrong-headed in elevating a changeable human construct to the same level or above the natural systems on which our health and well-being depend. And in many cases, it would be more accurate to characterize it as “environment versus corporate interests.” Although those interests often align with economic benefits and jobs, sometimes they just mean bigger profits for company CEOs and shareholders at the expense of the common good. When “economy” is regarded as more than just profit-taking, it can be compatible with environmental protection. With caribou conservation, there can be room for both. Many industry proponents oppose the requirement that provincial and territorial governments maintain or restore boreal caribou ranges so that at least 65 per cent is undisturbed, arguing this will put jobs at risk. They often rely on exaggerated or false claims, including denying that industry is responsible for the caribou’s plight or that problems even exist. Caribou protection measures are based on research and evidence, and even so, the 65 per cent disturbance threshold only gives herds a 60 per cent chance of persistence. Boreal caribou are threatened with extinc-
tion from coast to coast to coast, their populations continuing to decline since the federal Species at Risk Act was introduced in 2002. Caribou are an “umbrella’ species. When populations are healthy, so are many other animal and plant species and the forests they share. Room for Both, a new study by the David Suzuki Foundation, Alberta Wilderness Association and Ontario Nature, demonstrates that caribou conservation and industrial resource activity need not be mutually exclusive. It calls for more science-based discourse, better analytic models that take into account caribou conservation values to optimize “least cost” solutions, and recognition of the potential employment value of forest restoration. Past decisions often focused solely on the economic benefits of timber and oil and gas extraction. Ontario Nature research found that “much of the planned wood supply in forest management units that significantly overlap boreal caribou ranges is not being logged, particularly over the past decade. This raises important questions as to why critical caribou habitat cannot be protected without causing economic hardship.” Protecting undisturbed habitat is key to ensuring caribou populations survive. Habitat restoration
is also necessary but has largely been unsuccessful. Targets must be improved, forests must actually be restored rather than just “revegetated” and enforcement has to be stepped up. According to Room for Both, “restoration in fragmented boreal caribou habitat has the potential to create and replace jobs in northern rural municipalities and First Nations.” The research shows restoring habitat disturbed by seismic lines, roads and timber harvesting, among other industrial activities, can create diversified, stabler economies for resource-dependent communities. Indigenous communities hold valuable traditional knowledge about boreal ecosystems and must have leadership roles in conservation and restoration. It’s up to governments and industry to ensure caribou survival. This means incorporating habitat protection and restoration into planning and economic modelling, basing discourse on evidence and knowledge rather than exaggeration and fear-mongering, requiring industry and government to share in restoration costs and ensuring subsidies for industry are linked to environmental performance. We know what caribou need to survive. We know the limits to habitat disturbance. We must incorporate these into decisions around industrial activity to make room for both.

For the record In the June 21 Shuswap Market News, an article entitled ‘Community park proposed for Blind Bay’ erroneously stated that “Staff are recommending bor-
rowing up to $2,000.” That number should have been $2,025,000. We apologize for the error and for any inconvenience it may have caused.

Dinner Theatre serves up mystery and murder Peter Blacklock returns to write, direct dinner theatre production at RJ Haney Heritage Village Contributed
This summer R.J. Haney Heritage Village will celebrate 26 years of Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre stage productions. This season the village presents The Mystery Of Dutch Charlie. Set on the stage of the SASCU Amphitheatre at R.J. Haney Heritage Village, The Mystery Of Dutch Charlie takes place during the summer of 1885 in what will one day be Salmon Arm. It is a busy time as the railroad is coming through. The city has not yet been established and one of the few
buildings is Dutch Charlie’s Saloon and Brewery, located at what will come to be known as Fourth and Lakeshore. The play is based on actual historical events, and all references are accurate. However, as there is very little known of the characters involved, Monty the Mountie is very noble, Jennie is innocent, Dutch and Belle are conniving and evil, and revolving around their characters is an unsolved murder. The talented cast of The Mystery of Dutch Charlie includes Raymond Hubscher, Sarah Johnston, Rhys Middleton and Tirzah Vetter.

He was an avid soccer player and fan and helped establish the Soccer League with fellow Brits in Fort McMurray. He was active in the Masonic Lodge and enjoyed the fellowship with the members there. In 1994 he relocated to Salmon Arm where he could further pursue his love of gardening, and was always known for his wonderful yard, garden and owers that he was very proud of. He was always caring and giving and supported numerous charities. Gordon was best known to all for his quiet demeanor and British accent, was brilliant at crosswords, had a wealth of knowledge and great sense of humor, even to his ďŹ nal moments he had some witty comments for all present! He was married to his wife Glenys for 58 years until her passing in 2015, she was the “colorfulâ€? lady that kept Dad on his toes wherever they went. Gordon is survived by his 3 children, Carly (Edmonton), Adrian (Airdrie) and Beverley (Blind Bay) as well as his 9 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

DAVISON
We would like to celebrate the life of our mother, grandmother, wife, family member, and friend, Elaine Faith Juell, who passed in the Salmon Arm Hospital on June 21, 2019. Elaine is survived by her children Janice, Lewis, Darwin (Sandra) and Josephene (Scott), 7 grandchildren, siblings Jim (Jean) and Evelyn (Stewart). She is predeceased by her parents Harry and Pansy Lowery, sibling Dennis and husband Clarence early 2019. Elaine was born on January 25, 1944, in Kelvington SK and attended school in Doe River and Dawson Creek, BC. She married Clarence Juell in 1962 and welcomed 4 kids into their family. They had a grain farm in Alberta near Doe River and Elaine grew a garden abundant in vegetables, fruits and flowers despite the northern climate and wild critters. In 1982, Clarence and Faith moved their family to Salmon Arm BC. Throughout the years, Elaine was active in many activities around being an engaged mother and homemaker. She had many years of involvement with the Women’s Institute, 4-H Clubs and volunteering with the Haney Heritage Park. She was an avid learner and pursued later education and courses in Forestry. She was active in curling and competitive with Senior Horseshoes, including earning medals in the BC Senior Games. Faith was a big supporter at local fall fairs, with winning entries in produce or flowers or grain or acting as a judge. While her beautiful gardens were a way Elaine has left her mark with us, she also had a passion for photography and travels to various states and warmer countries. She enjoyed sharing her love of crafts and cooking with her children and grandchildren. Her children remember her as a strong, intelligent, loyal, hard working, loving wife and dedicated mother and grandmother. A funeral service is scheduled for Saturday afternoon, June 29, 2019 @ 4:00 PM at Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm, BC. Preceding this a viewing to be held 2:30-3:30 PM. Following the service will be a brief interment and then a reception at Bower’s Mountainside Room. All are welcome to attend to celebrate Elaine’s life. Donations can be made to Heart and Stroke Foundation and Cancer Society. On line condolences may be sent to Faith’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
