Homicide Investigation in Anglemont
The South East District Major
Crime Unit and Chase RCMP spent numerous days at the scene of a suspicious
death involving
two people. Police were called to
the home in Anglemont late in
the afternoon
Tuesday, April
30th.
The victims
have since been
identified as a 45year-old woman
and a 15-year-old
boy. At the time
of printing it had not been confirmed if the
two are related or how they died.
“RCMP have confirmed they are investigating a homicide,” said Const. Lesley
Smith. “The crime scene has been isolated
to the residence and therefore the public is
not believed to be at risk.”
Police have said they will not be releasing names of the individuals.
The Kicker's Jan Wojciechowski asked
RCMP spokesperson Lesley
Smith, "if the
citizens in Anglemont should be
apprehensive for
any reason."
Smith replied that
she “understood
the concerns of
area residents, but
no further information was being
released at this
time, as the investigation is ongoing.”
There was no other official information
available at our press time.
Needless to say, North Shuswap residents are heartsick at this tragedy and sympathies go out to the family and friends of
the victims.

THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

...Jan Penner, Editor
It seems to me
the phrase, "Just like riding a
bike", which implies that when you've
mastered it once you can always do it, is
VERY misleading. Have you ever tried
to get on a bike after not doing it for 5
or 10 or more years? It can be just like
starting from square one! No balance,
sore muscles and no stamina!
The bike is just an example. The
same scenario fits for hiking, running,
archery, painting, knitting, playing the
flute. I include that last one because I
am trying to rejuvenate that ability after
a 30 years absence. Fortunately, I have
found a mentor, a wonderfully encouraging young lady who is in her first year
as a flutist. She has the patience to let
me play the wrong 3 notes over and
over and just keeps saying I've almost
got it. Then, she lets me celebrate when
I do get it right. She's a very intuitive
instructor, especially for an 11 year old.
My point in sharing this, is that it
really never is too late to try something
new or revisit something you used to do.
The best part is that there is probably
someone living close by in the community who can help and encourage you,
and sometimes they will come from our
youth population. After all, why not
learn from someone who is learning
themselves? While they may not have a
lot of expertise, they do know what it is
like to be inexperienced and are, therefore, less critical.
When starting a new hobby/career,
we can also look for assistance and instruction from our older citizens (the 20
- 100 category). An experienced craftsman is usually happy to have someone
else experience the activities they enjoy,
and they love to share their knowledge.
We are heading into a very busy
time, with yards and gardens needing
clearing, planting and tending, but this
is also a good time to get involved in
other projects - as mobility is not as restricted to weather and daylight. If you
are thinking of taking up a new skill or
reviving an old one, look to your community to get started. The sense of accomplishment you gain from mastering
new skills or rejuvenating old ones will
energize you. And, the best part is you
will no doubt form new and important
friendships.
Come on everyone, explore your
potential!
New Road Maintenance Contractor
By Jo Anne Malpass
You may have noticed the new JPW
logos on road maintenance vehicles on
the North Shuswap.
On March 29, JPW Road and Bridge
Inc. took over the road maintenance contract for provincial roads and bridges in
the Okanagan-Shuswap.
President Joe Wrobel told the Kicker
there won’t be any noticeable difference
in service at first, but they are looking at
ways to work with the community to
make continuing improvements.
JPW purchased the assets of Argo
Road Maintenance in this service area
and has purchased some new equipment
as well. Wrobel said union workers,
including drivers, were offered jobs with
the new company and most have accepted. Some of the management staff has
moved to the new company while others
either stayed with Argo or retired. Argo
has contracts in the South Okanagan and
Thompson and will continue to operate
there.
Wrobel has many years of experience in the industry. He said there have
been a few changes since he was a manager with Emcon Services from 1991 to
2004 when Emcon had the contract here
but he does know this area. He was
president of highway maintenance company HMC Services Inc. until recently
when he formed JPW.
JPW’s contract for this area will
continue until March 29, 2019.
To ease the transition, they have
kept the same contact numbers. If you
see a problem on the highway that could
be hazardous to other drivers, immediately report it to JPW by calling 1-877546-3799.

Dock Removal Pending
Dock Regulations Spur Tensions may13
Mandatory removal of docks owned by
those without lakefront properties is a
heated issue. The Kicker received the
following comments from Larry Morgan:
As Director for Area 'F' CSRD, I was
invited to a meeting, for 'dock builders,
buoy installers, and other lake-orientated
professionals', hosted by the CSRD, the
Provincial Ministry of Forests, Lands
and Natural Resources, and the Fraser
Basin Council, on Monday April 29th , in
Salmon Arm.
At that meeting, we heard from representatives from the Province about CSRD
and provincial regulations that will see
semi-waterfront docks hauled from the
lake. We had no word on this. It was just
something that has come down.
Nonetheless, this is an issue that is causing a lot of concern to semi-waterfront
property owners, dock builders, and other businesses, alike, on the North Shuswap. I further believe that this is going to
impact semi-waterfront real estate values; not to mention tourism on the North
Shuswap.
According to the information received at
the Monday meeting, residents who don’t
own waterfront property must remove
their docks. I do not believe a time frame
has been established for removal of the
docks, however, in the final analysis, if
owners do not remove the docks, the
province will remove them and bill the
owners.
I further understand that semi-waterfront
owners do not have riparian rights and
legal use of Crown land.
Semi-water property owners have no
basis in law, and no riparian rights, allowing them to legally have docks. As
mentioned at the meeting in Salmon Arm,
without the right to secure foreshore tenures, they are trespassing on crown land
I am hearing that residents are exploring
what legal grounds they might have to
keep their docks.
Semi-waterfront properties will simply
not be able to used in the same fashion
they’ve been used up until now.
The CSRD passed a lake-zoning bylaw in
2012 that dictates that residents with
property that extends to the natural
boundary of the lake are allowed to have
a dock. Property owners with land that
doesn't border the shoreline cannot put a
dock in the water, the bylaw states. The
CSRD Bylaw is effective from 2012, and
does not reference docks which were in
place previously.
It is unfortunate that it has come down to
this, but I know there have been a lot of
complaints over the last several years
about the proliferation of docks and
buoys on the Shuswap.
I am sympathetic to all those semiwaterfront owners who have invested in
their properties.
Information from Marcin Pachinski of
the CSRD states that according to the
Province, this is seen as a long-term project that will take a number of years to
resolve. The focus is on getting those
dock owners who are eligible for Provincial dock authorizations (i.e. waterfront
property owners) to apply for the necessary approvals. To that end, all existing
dock owners should contact Front Counter BC (1-877-855-3222 or [email protected]). Existing dock owners do not need to contact the CSRD unless they plan to do additional works on
the beach or water, such as putting in a
new or replacement dock or buoy. In
those cases, they should call Christine
LeFloch, CSRD Planning Assistant, at
250-833-5904.
At the same meeting, residents were also
informed that in order to repair docks,
they must apply for a permit, "a process
that could take weeks," said Triton Docks
owner Don Lauzon, "This is ridiculous".
Work on a dock without the permit is
liable for a $230 fine. For those employed in the dock building industry,
these new regulations may be devastating.
Morgan said, “The concern is this is going to hurt the local economy, semiwaterfront properties cannot be used in
the same fashion they’ve been used up
until now.” Many believe the consequences of enforcing this bylaw will be
far reaching. Pat Robertson of St. Ives
said, “For them to say, ‘These have always been the rules and we’re going to
start hauling (the docks) out’ is a terrible
image for Shuswap Lake.” She feels that
the rules need to be clearly explained to
dock owners, and take time to let people
comply.

Tel: 250-955-2567 Cell: 250-517-9578 Email: [email protected]
CSRD Board Meeting - April 18th
 Queen’s diamond jubilee medal
award
CSRD Chair David Raven presented
Deputy Manager of Environment & Engineering Services Darcy Mooney with the
Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal. Mr.
Mooney was nominated by the Federation
of Canadian Municipalities Advisory
Committee for helping to build a safer and
stronger and more prosperous future for
communities. Chair Raven said it is a
great honour to be awarded the Queen’s
Diamond Jubilee Medal and congratulated
Mr. Mooney.
Darcy Mooney is managing the renovation and upgrade of the Scotch Creek
Community Hall. The Hall is due to be
completed at the beginning of May.
Darcy Mooney is also managing the
Scotch Creek Sewer and Water Consulting Study.
 Security services for area parks
The Board authorized a three-year
service agreement with Salmon Arm Security Inc. to provide security patrol services
at high use parks in Electoral Areas ‘C’,
‘E’ and ‘F’. The seasonal patrols will
commence on the Victoria Day weekend
in May and conclude at the end of the Labour Day holiday in September.
 Zoning amendment for Area ‘F’
The Board gave final reading and
adopted Magna Bay Zoning Amendment
(Magna Bay Developments) Bylaw No.
800-18. This bylaw amends some of the
uses, densities and regulations in the existing CD1 Zone to accommodate changes to
the development.
 Grant-in-Aid Request approved
Area ‘F - Seymour Arm Community
Association - $3,000.
This GIA is for repair and maintenance of a fire truck and associated equip-
ment, situated in the community of Seymour Arm.
 Sorrento Incorporation study funds
denied
The Board received a letter from Don
Fast, Deputy Minister of Community,
Sport and Cultural Development saying
the Ministry felt the adoption of the Area
’C’ Official Community Plan provides
direction on governance and servicing
issues in the community. The Deputy Minister stated “on that basis it would be inappropriate to fund a study at this time.”
Perhaps a message for the North
Shuswap?
 Board receives presentation from
SIDIT
Luanne Chore of Southern Interior
Development Initiative Trust (SIDIT) provided the Board an overview of the organization’s mandate and activities. Ms.
Chore said the mandate of SIDIT is to
support regionally strategic investments in
economic development projects that will
have long-lasting and measurable regional
benefits for the Southern Interior. Ms.
Chore added that SIDIT has, to date, created or preserved 1,766 short and long term
jobs.
A possibility for potential economic
development projects in Area ‘F’.
Board agrees to sign protocol
The Board voted unanimously in favour of signing the ‘Shuswap Community
Declaration of Inclusion’ protocol that was
put forward at last month’s meeting by the
Shuswap Settlement Services Society. At
the March meeting, the Board deferred the
decision in order to give staff a chance to
review the recommendation. The aim of
the protocol is to increase the capacity of
the Shuswap to attract immigrants to the
area and to make them feel welcome.

“Experience the ADVANTAGE of quality personalized service!” The Columbia Shuswap
Regional District (CSRD) purchased two new Sprinkler Protection Units, with one unit to
be deployed in the Shuswap/
Mara Lake region. This equipment is designed to assist local
fire departments in the event of
a wildfire encroaching on our
community. Anglemont VFD
had three members attend a
training session so that they
have the expertise if they need
to utilize this system.
Four AVFD members attended the Strategies and Tactics training course and this
will assist in building a preplan
for several of their larger commercial and recreational properties.
For information purposes,
Fire Protection Services are
provided by the Columbia
Shuswap Regional District
(CSRD) covering 13 areas including 3 Volunteer Fire Departments for the North Shuswap. Anglemont VFD was
started in 1977 in its present
location and as many of the
Fire Departments that were
established years ago, the
buildings required constant
renovations and repairs. In
addition, the fire equipment
has also been updated to meet
the needs of respective fire
regions.
If anyone wants to learn
more about the Anglemont
VFD, they are cordially invited
to attend a regular Tuesday
night practice.
AVFD would like to
“THANK” Robert Gallant
for his fourteen years of service.

RCMP News
Overturned Logging Truck
April 30th - a fully loaded logging truck
travelling southbound on Holding Rd.
near Adams Lake overturned on a very
tight inside curve. Oncoming vehicles
had to slam on their brakes to avoid colliding with the truck. A small amount of
fuel was spilled but was quickly contained. The injured driver was taken to
the Chase D and T and later released. The
highway was closed for several hours in
both directions. The badly damaged truck
was towed to Salmon Arm where it was
inspected by CVSE. RCMP, while waiting for the report, continue investigations.
Charges are pending.
Erratic Female Driver Now Deceased
April 10th: While patrolling in the Village of Chase, a member of the RCMP
noticed a vehicle driving erratically.
When the officer tried to conduct a roadside stop, the vehicle continued on
through the downtown area at a high rate
of speed. The member did not pursue
because of the risk to the public.
Witnesses directed him to Hwy 1
where, not sure of the suspect's direction,
he chose to venture east, towards Salmon
Arm, where he saw the same vehicle
ahead of him on Jade Mtn. He caught up
to the vehicle, engaged emergency equipment and the vehicle pulled over just past
the bottom of Jade Mtn. As the cruiser
came to a stop in front of the suspect vehicle, the Chase member saw the female
driver forcibly turn the steering wheel and
accelerate. She ended up colliding with
the rear bumper of the police vehicle,
causing it to spin onto the highway. The
suspect vehicle then sped away, continuing eastbound. The officer again refrained
from pursuit, to avoid danger to the public. A short time later police were dispatched to a single vehicle rollover near
Little River Boat World.
Upon arrival at the scene it was discovered that it was the same vehicle as in
the earlier incidents. Witnesses at the
scene were dealing
with a very distraught
female. The member
identified her as be679-3221
ing the one he had
CRIMESTOPPERS
previously dealt with. 1-800-222-8477
She was displaying
signs of impairment and was transported
to Royal Inland in Kamloops. Police,
through a search warrant, were seeking a
blood analysis for alcohol and/or drug
impairment. Possible impaired driving
charges, along with numerous other charges were being considered. Early the morning of April 25th, the Salmon Arm RCMP
responded to a sudden death call. The
deceased was the same female.
Stabbing in Chase
May 2nd: In the early morning Chase
RCMP were called to investigate an assault with a weapon. A male victim was
allegedly attacked (jumped) in the Village
of Chase and was subsequently stabbed
multiple times and robbed. The victim
was under the influence of alcohol and
was very uncooperative with the police
and would not assist with moving forward
with the investigation. There were no
witnesses and no weapon at the scene.
The man was taken to Kamloops for treatment and later released.
Sign Theft Continues
Signs are again being stolen in the
North Shuswap. There are several people
in the community who think they know
who the culprit is. They have pictures but
none are clear enough to use for charges
to be laid. RCMP continue to investigate.
If anyone has any further information,
please contact CRIMESTOPPERS or
Chase RCMP.
RCMP Presence Picks Up
Traffic becomes heavier and busier
with the start of May. Increased enforcement of traffic regulations will be coming.
Road checks will be increasing in random
locations and will be targeting impaired
drivers.

SHUSWAP LAKE INTEGRATED PLANNING
PROCESS (SLIPP)
SLIPP continues to carry
on with their programs without any concern for the impact on our local economy or
any efforts to consult with the
residents of the North Shuswap. This column focuses on
3 current issues.
 Foreshore Restoration
Reporting on shoreline
restoration continues. In the
last week of March they also
spread rocks over the beach
at the CSRD Robinson Creek
Park in Sunnybrae much to
the horror of local residents
who used to enjoy using this
location. Much has been said
about this program not being
supported with taxpayer dol-
Ph/Fx: 250-955-2113
lars. Sorry, but unless government is somehow creating
profit, all money they spend
comes from our pockets.
I did have an opportunity
to read the information provided by SLIPP describing
the environmental reasons
why the work was done. Unfortunately, they don’t hold
up to technical scrutiny. The
windrowed rocks were supposedly interfering with the
rearing of juvenile salmon
and trout. DFO published a
report in 2004 titled “Fish
Community of Shuswap
Lake’s Foreshore” that indicates rearing juvenile salmon
have a preference for sandy
beaches, not rocky ones.
With respect to trout, rearing
juvenile Rainbows generally
stay in tributary streams for 1
to 2 years and then move to
deeper water. Juvenile Char
rear at depth. It is hard to see
how the rocks interfered with
anything. The emerging vegetation in the windrowed
rock piles was also destroyed.
Finally, this site was identified as having low fish habitat values in the Shuswap
Mapping Project. There is
also a solid argument that the
complexity in the windrowed
rock creates reef like conditions and is beneficial to juvenile salmon for the protection that is provided.
Photos of this restoration
were forwarded to several
biologists who all wondered
if charges were laid under the
Fisheries Act for destroying
fish habitat.
If the agenda is not really
an environmental one, what
could possibly be going on?
(Continued on page 9)
MAY 2013
(Continued from page 8)
The only certainty is that this
is not good for residents or
tourism.
 Recreation Plan
Last month I wrote about the
proposed Recreational Plan
for Shuswap Lake that SLIPP
is engaged in. Upon hearing
the Chamber’s concerns, Director Morgan immediately
arranged a meeting with the
CSRD and SLIPP so the
Shuswap Lake marina owners could express their concerns. The 2 hour meeting
was largely unproductive and
featured a full hour of PowerPoint presentations (Google
“death by PowerPoint”). It
was interesting to see that the
5 least important issues identified in the last summer’s
user survey (from least to
most important) were; number of buoys on the lake,
number of boats on the lake,
safe operation of boats, behavior of non-boaters, and
finally behavior of boaters.
Ironically, many of the
measures proposed in the
recreation plan are focused
on these 5 least important
issues as identified by the
public.
The Chamber expressed 3
basic concerns at the meeting:
1. Marina owners represent a
wealth of collective
knowledge about Shuswap
Lake, non-motorized and
motorized boating and they
were not consulted as part
of preparing this plan.
2. Marina owners and other
business people who rely
on boating in Shuswap
Lake do not want tourists
avoiding this area due to
over regulation to solve
problems that may only be
perceived, nor due to the
imposition of fees.
3. Who is going to pay for
infrastructure and enforce-
ment? Increased taxation
is not the answer.
On a positive note, Lorraine Seys, owner of the
Shuswap Marina was appointed to the recreation plan
steering committee to represent all marina owners. I
hope they listen.
There was also a lot of
concern that the document I
received and wrote about last
month on the recreation plan
was “leaked.” Good thing or
we wouldn’t have been forewarned about the measures
under consideration. At the
most recent steering committee meeting on April 24th any
more “leaks” were prevented.
Members of the committee
were handed copies of confidential discussion papers
which were then collected up
after they were reviewed to
try to prevent the public from
knowing what is going on. A
little more transparency
would be appreciated.
I suggest the emphasis of
the recreational plan should
be encouraging boating and
increased use of the lake.
How do we do this? Build
more boat launches, encourage marina development,
open up lake accesses, and
encourage more boat accessible restaurants and recreational amenities. How do we
do this without further burdening the local taxpayers?
Let the private sector respond
to demands of the market.
 Docks
I wrote last month about
the rumours floating around
that in addition to removing
derelict docks the Ministry of
Forests, Lands, and Natural
Resource Operations will be
removing all semi-waterfront
docks. Unfortunately it is no
longer a rumour. It was reported in the Kamloops Daily
news on April 26th and con(Continued on page 10)

firmed at a SLIPP industry
session on April 29th that only
authorized docks would be
grandfathered in the new
CSRD Dock and Buoy bylaw. The problem is that
docks on semi-waterfront
properties can’t be authorized
as the BC Ministry of Transportation (owner of the roads)
is the upland owner and have
a policy not allowing docks.
I think it is time for the
BC Ministry of Transportation to reconsider their policy. Yes these docks are in
trespass over crown land and
tenure should be established
so the crown can benefit from
the associated revenue. Unlike docks on public road
accesses, a semi-waterfront
property owner is not infringing or interfering with anyone’s right to access the lake.
Getting rid of the docks is
bad for our residents and
business community.
Waterfront owners are
also not exempt. At the same
April 29th meeting, it was
confirmed that waterfront
owners must also get tenure
for their docks or they will be
removed. At least the waterfront owners can get tenure
and paying for it is the correct thing to do. Let’s just
keep the rules reasonable.
The old myth of docks
being bad for juvenile salmon
was also mentioned in the
Daily News article. The
docks do provide cover for
predator fish, primarily
Northern Pike Minnows who
feed on all fish. The docks
do however provide cover for
juvenile salmon and protect
them from avian predators.
Let’s face it, it’s a fish eat
fish world.
The planned dock removals will make semi-waterfront
properties less desirable, will
deflate values, and is another
attack on our tourism based
economy.
SCOTCH CREEK SEWER
AND WATER
I think a lot of progress
has been made towards seeing community water and
sewer systems started in
Scotch Creek. Three consultants gave presentations to the
advisory committee on April
29th. The advisory committee
is comprised of Director
Morgan, CSRD staff, BC
government agency representatives, and Tim Brausse
from Supervalu and myself
representing the Chamber and
commercial property owners.
The CSRD will announce
which consultant will carry
out this important exercise
for the community of Scotch
Creek. I am confident that all
three proposals showed
promise and any of the proponents are capable of
achieving our goal of being
project ready in 2014.

All-Candidates Forum on the
Environment a Success
Submitted by Anne Morris,
KAIROS- Salmon Arm
A diverse, multi-aged
crowd of nearly 80 people attended the April 29th AllCandidates Forum on the Environment in Salmon Arm. Three
of the four candidates participated, with the BC Liberal
candidate Greg Kyllo a no
show because he has a policy
of not attending forums sponsored by what he terms,
“special interest” groups.
Jim Cooperman, Shuswap
Environmental Action Society
president, responded to this in
his introduction by pointing
out that the environment is not
just a "special interest," but
rather, something that is in
everyone's interest because
everything, including the economy, is dependent upon a
healthy environment.
The forum began with a
brief talk by each candidate
about how they became involved in politics and where
they stand on environmental
issues. NDP candidate Steve
Gunner explained how using
toxic chemicals in his early
years as a young farmer impacted his health, which led
him to become an organic
farmer and a politician that
cares about the planet. Green
Party candidate Chris George
decided to become a politician
to make the world a better
place for his children and he
chose the party that he believes
has the best policies. Conservative candidate Tom Birch's
involvement in politics grew
out of concern about the lack
of understanding surrounding
sustainable forestry management and his interest in bringing groups together to seek
solutions.
The three candidates fielded a total of 14 questions on a
wide variety of topics, including how best to build a green
economy, the need to better
protect our watershed, problems with the “professional
reliance” model in environmental assessments, shale gas
fracking, pipelines, carbon
emission reduction targets, the
wolf hunt, salmon farming, and
smart meters. All three candidates displayed their passion

There was no support for
pipelines from either the Green
or NDP candidate. Conservative candidate Tom Birch explained how his party supports
pipelines but indicated that if
there was broad opposition
among his constituents, he
would respect that and vote

accordingly. Regarding the
growing negative impact of
industrial agriculture on Shuswap and Mara Lake water
quality, all of the candidates
expressed a need for government to collaborate with farmers to find solutions.
The forum was sponsored
by four organizations,
KAIROS-Salmon Arm, Shuswap Naturalists, Shuswap Water Action Team and Shuswap
Environmental Action Society.
The Moderator was Jim Barmby, Regional Dean of Okanagan College. Acorn Music

An Inspirational Journey
Part XI
By Jan Penner
I recently encountered
Heather Alison out and about.
She smiled and waved and she
made my day because it was so
nice to see her looking so energetic.
Heather has been very
busy this last month, working
on preparations for the Spring
Thing, which is the major fundraiser for the North Shuswap
Community Hall. It is a project she has always been very
involved with. She said she is
doing good and she sounded
strong.
This strength is really
amazing when you consider the
other things going on in her
life. Despite her own health
issues, Heather manages to be
there for others. Her father-inlaw fell and broke his femur.
An older gentleman, he was
exhibiting signs of confusion
while in hospital and Heather
was there for him, trying to
ensure he received the care and
attention he needed. She also
helps to care for a friend who
has lost both legs and has difficulty with mobility. On top of
all this, she recently lost a good
friend and is doing her best to
offer support and comfort to
the family.
You are inspiring, Heather.
Spring Tree Pruning: Trees
and Power Lines Don’t Mix
From BC Hydro
More than half of all electricity outages in B.C. are
caused by trees. Over the next
several months, BC Hydro will
be carefully pruning and removing trees near power lines
in an effort to prevent power
outages and keep the lights on.
In addition to causing
power outages, trees contacting
or growing too close to power
lines create safety hazards,
such as a risk of fire. Falling
branches and toppling trees can
be prevented with regular
maintenance. The work is done
by professionals who are
skilled at maintaining healthy
trees and plants and are able to
identify hazards created by
vegetation.
While BC Hydro prunes
trees posing a hazard yearround, most trees benefit from
pruning in the early spring –
just before the seasonal growth
begins.
BC Hydro reminds customers to never approach a
downed power line. If you see
one, call BC Hydro immediately at 1.888.POWERON.
Facts:
B.C. has three times more
trees per kilometre of power
line than any utility in North
America.
 BC Hydro spends more than
$50 million each year on
vegetation maintenance to
prevent outages along 74,000
kilometres of overhead power lines.
 Trees can be conductive, that
is, they can carry an electrical charge. A tree touching a
power line can become energized and injury could result
from touching the tree.
 There are two very important reasons why BC Hydro conducts pruning and
removes trees: public safety,
and to ensure reliable electrical service for our customers.
BC Hydro vegetation and
access manager Chris Smith
explains more about spring tree
pruning in a new video available online to the public:

Who knew so much thoughtfulness,
goes into the ubiquitous weaving trail
through the woods? Twenty five new participants who participated in this weekend’s Shuswap Trail Alliance Stewardship Workshop-in-the-Woods now do.
Together they discovered concepts like
the rule-of-half, water flow, user experience, gateways and edges, pruning to the
collar, and undulations and meanders – all
concepts central to the new best practices
in sustainable trail design.
“Undulations and Meanders – called
UMs – are a key concept,” said trail developer and workshop co-leader, Jim
Maybe, who team led the weekend workshop with fellow Shuswap Trail developers, Kevin Pattison, Sutra Brett, Damon
Kent, and lead trail steward, Clint Smith.
“They help to engage the user, make the
trail interesting to travel on, focus impact,
and create mini-watersheds to control
water.”
Together the workshop team guided
participants through an evening of theory
and then a full day out in the field for fullon practical training. “Oh yeah, baby!”
shouts Shuswap Trail Alliance operations
manager, Kevin Pattison, leading the Saturday field warm-up. He’s a passionate
believer that hands on learning is essential
to understanding and seeing the results of
sustainable trail building techniques.
And the results are telling. With over
70 kilometers of new trail developed
throughout the Shuswap by regional partners in the last 8 years, and over 250 kilo-
meters of managed greenway trails
throughout the region, the communities of
the Shuswap appear determined to
reimagine themselves as a lifestyle trail
centre that includes First Nations, provincial, regional districts, municipalities,
businesses, and stewards.
“We’re feeling the momentum building toward a long-term program of trail
stewards throughout the region,” says
Carmen Massey, stewardship coordinator
for the Shuswap Trail Alliance. “People
are recognizing the effort and the expense
that goes into building and caring for a
well maintained trail system and are stepping up to contribute.” Carmen points to
the strong history in the region for volunteer created and supported trails through
organizations like the Larch Hills Nordic
Society and the EQ Trails Association.
“We have a trained group of stewards that
we can count on, and that is growing,” she
says, also acknowledging the remarkable
support of community sponsors like Tim
Horton’s, who provided lunch for the
workshop participants, and Skookum Cycle and Ski, Ways2Ride, and Trailheads
Cycle who provided participant door prizes.
“There’s a special place for people
who don’t want to be part of something
more formalized, however, but love
trails,” Carmen is quick to add, noting
there are many different ways of being a
trail steward. “Some people prefer walking the trails mindfully by themselves and
taking time to leave the trail in better
MAY 2013
shape for the next person to
come that way. If you take
time to walk thoughtfully flicking sticks off the trail, or even
just send in a report of work
that needs attention, that’s being a steward too.”
Trail reports can be sent to
lead trail steward, Clint Smith,
through the regional trails hotline at [email protected], or
through the report a trail button
on the www.shuswaptrails.com
website. “Watch for opportunities coming throughout the
season as the trail stewardship
program becomes more formalized,” encourages Carmen.
The Shuswap Trail Alliance is looking for volunteer
stewards interested in helping
to test the revised tool on local
trails. To join the Shuswap
Trail Stewards network, call
250-832-0102 or email [email protected].

Advance Care Planning:
Start the conversation about end-of-life care
Interior Health is encouraging residents to think and
talk about their wishes for endof-life care on April 16th - National Advance Care Planning
Day.
“These conversations are
important and desired, but can
be difficult to initiate,” says
Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. “Advances in health
care mean we are in a position
to intervene and extend lives.
At the same time we have an
increasingly aged population.
These factors combined mean
that having a plan in place for
end-of-life care is more important than ever.”
Advance care planning is
a process of reflection and
communication about future
health care preferences or instructions in the event that you
become incapable of speaking
for yourself. This process is
important as evidence shows
95 per cent of Intensive Care
patients lack decision-making
capacity at the time a consent
decision is required.
Plans may include information about the type of care
an individual would or wouldn’t want, as well as other personal information, such as spiritual preferences or specific
wishes for family members or
friends.
“Providing clients with
access to an advance care planning process is a key quality
improvement priority for Interior Health. It’s meant to give
people an important voice in
planning their future health
care,” says Interior Health
Board Chair Norman Embree.
To support this initiative
Interior Health has been conducting training sessions for
staff and physicians and disseminating information within
communities that will help
encourage residents in undertaking the planning process.
Evidence shows that a
conversation facilitated by a
person trained with knowledge
of advance care planning reduces the burden of decision
making for loved ones. Research has shown that such
planning significantly reduces
stress, depression and anxiety
in family members and caregivers who are aware of a patient’s wishes and can act with
confidence on their behalf.
“These are important considerations that are best made
when we are in good health,”
says Interior Health Clinical
Practice Educator Janice
Vance. “Advance care planning allows us to have our
wishes about living and dying
respected when we are no
longer capable of exercising
this control ourselves”.

Camping on the North
Shuswap
By Jo Anne Malpass
With the camping season
almost upon us, The Kicker
set out to discover how many
camping spaces are available
on the North Shuswap. We
asked campground operators
about the number of sites and
what amenities they offered.
With Magna Bay Resort
reverting back to a family
campground, we estimate the
North Shuswap now has
about 300 private camping
spots and 300 provincial park
sites. Another 50 will be added next year when Ross Creek
Country Store completes its
campground.
Starting at the entrance to
the North Shuswap, Cottonwood Family Campground at
Lee Creek has 165 sites with
power, water and sewer.
Amenities include a boat
launch, Laundromat, showers
and restrooms, wireless internet, a dog beach, a playground and a little park. It
will be open this year for seasonal users from May 15 to
September 15 and for overnight users from June 15 to
Sept. 15.
Shuswap Lake Provincial
Park at Scotch Creek operates
274 serviced campsites from
May 1 to September 30. It
has one kilometer of sandy,
pebble beach and includes
Copper Island. The park offers a large grassy play area,
an adventure playground, a
large boat launch, showers
and restrooms and a selfguiding nature trail.
Chimney Rock on Evans
Road at Celista has 40 creekside camping sites with hookups, store, arcade, internet
access, Laundromat and
showers and is close to beach
and boat launch.
Magna Bay Resort has 80
sites, mostly with power and
water, but some just for tent-
ing. Its amenities include
showers and washrooms,
playground, barbecue areas,
beach volleyball, boat and sea
doo rentals and a beach area.
It is open May to the end of
September.
Anglemont Inn has four
sites with power and water,
and 10 sites without service.
It has separate washrooms
and showers available for
campers along with barbecues. The Inn is open year
round with camping sites
available from April until
October.
As part of Shuswap Lake
Marine Park, St. Ives Park,
just east of the community of
St. Ives has road access and a
few sites with a pit toilet but
no other facilities.
In addition to these, boaters can access the Marine
Park system which has 26
sites located around the perimeter of Shuswap Lake. All
locations are popular for fishing and water sports with hiking and nature study popular
at some sites. Some are road
accessible, but most are water
-access only. Facilities at the
sites vary from nothing to
three or four wilderness tenting sites with a pit toilet.
Marine campers must
have permits which can be
purchased on the North Shuswap at Anglemont Marina,
Captains Village Marina &
Shuswap Lake Park gatehouse. The boundaries of all
marine parks on Shuswap
Lake are marked with blue
and white signs on the beach.
Fees apply anywhere within
the park boundaries, including
the 100 metre foreshore.
Marine Parks on the main
Shuswap and Seymour Arm
include:
Horseshoe Bay, west of
St Ives, is boat access only
MAY 2013
and has no facilities except a
pit toilet.
Cinnemousun Narrows
Provincial Park is located
where the four arms of Shuswap meet. This park is one of
the most popular stopping
places for all lake users. On
the northern side of the lake
there is a small camping area
containing four sites and a
docking wharf. On the southerly side is a 24 site camping
area with several shelters and a
beach suitable for swimming
or sunbathing. A 1.5 km hiking trail leads from the
campground to a vantage point
overlooking the lake. This location is accessible only by
boat.
Albas Falls has an undeveloped camping area located
at the northwest end of Seymour Arm. Some areas are
road accessible. A trail that
begins near Steamboat Bay
follows Celesta Creek upstream approximately 1.5 km,
then crosses the creek and returns to the lake. The area has
a series of beautiful waterfalls
and some interesting features
from early logging days. Bears
are frequent visitors in this
park.
Silver Beach Provincial
Park, located at the north end
of Seymour Arm has 35 vehicle accessible sites with pit
toilets being the only services.
Smaller, no service, boat
access sites on Seymour Arm
are Beach Bay, Cottonwood
Beach, Encounter Point,
Fowler Point, Nielsen Beach,
Two Mile Creek, Woods
Landing, Woods Landing
South and Wright Beach.
There are also eight sites
on Anstey Arm.
Adams Lake has three
provincial parks, the largest
and only vehicle access one
being Bush Creek Site which
has 27 rustic campsites, pit
toilets and a boat launch. It is
located about 10 km up Adams
Lake Road.

We all use what’s known
as a “browser” to access the
Internet. If you are unfamiliar
with the term, browser is the
generic name for the program
used to view content on the
World Wide Web. Examples
of popular browsers used on
desktop and laptop computers
include Microsoft Internet
Explorer, Google Chrome and
Mozilla Firefox. If you are an
Apple user, chances are you
are using Safari as your
browser. Safari is Apple’s
own browser and comes preinstalled on all Apple devices,
but will also work on your
Windows computer. These
four browsers are the most
popular on the planet right
now and all are trying very
hard to be number one and
your browser of choice. There
is a huge market advantage
for any company that owns
the top browser, and so we
are now starting to see advertising on the web and on TV,
especially from Google. If
you use Google’s search engine or email, you have very
likely seen messages designed
to entice you to switch to
Google Chrome. For a time
they were clearly giving the
impression that your Gmail
account would no longer
work unless you switched, a
tactic that many felt was more
than a little underhanded and
likely sparked a few lawsuits
from the competition. Recently I’ve noticed that things
have changed and Google is
now recognizing that you
may be using a different
browser and that it’s perfectly
OK. Underhanded or not
though, Google’s tactics ap-
pear to be
working as Google Chrome is
now the number one browser
in the world. Internet Explorer is close behind and Firefox
not far off in 3rd place. Safari
is still a ways behind at 4th
place overall but is dominating on Macs, iPhones and
iPads.
Should you care about
which browser you are using?
Absolutely! Your browser is
the main point of contact between your computer and the
World Wide Web. It is responsible for providing you
the ability to interact with the
Internet in several different
ways. Whether you are surfing for information, interacting with others through social
sites, or online shopping, it is
your browser that makes it all
happen. The browser has an
important role and we expect
it to work flawlessly. Fortunately most do and so we tend
to stick with the browser that
came with our PC’s. As time
moves on, things may change
so it’s important to note that
you have choices and are not
tied to any one browser.
There are three main things
to look for in a browser and
they are speed, security and
usability. All four of the
aforementioned browsers are
fairly equal where speed and
security is concerned,
(although Chrome is generally considered the fastest of all
browsers). Where the various
browsers differ most is in the
area of usability and features.
Each has its own strengths
and weaknesses in this area so
which browser we ultimately
end up using is more a matter
MAY 2013
of personal preference than
anything else.
If you are interested to
try out one or more of the
other browsers, by all means
go ahead. There is no harm
in having several browsers
installed on your computer.
Doing so will not slow your
computer down or cause
conflicts. It is actually good
to have more than one
browser installed for troubleshooting purposes. For
example, if you are experiencing problems on the Internet, you can easily eliminate the browser as the cause
by trying a different one.
All of the browsers are free
on the Internet and can be
easily downloaded and installed. Your bookmarks are
also easily transferred from
one to the other so it is fairly
simple to switch between
browsers, although there is
one caution. If a browser
asks to become default
browser, answer no, unless
you are ready to switch to
that browser as your primary. Choosing yes to the default browser prompt tells
your computer to use that
browser for everything Internet related such as opening
Internet links you receive
through email.
As the Internet continues to evolve, so will the
browsers used to access it.
Web developers are constantly looking for ways to
improve the content and
functionality of the Internet.
Nobody knows what the
future holds for the Internet
and what tools we will use
to interact with it but for
now at least, the browser is
here to stay. Happy surfing!
As usual, if you have any
comments, questions or help
with your computer, feel
free to get in touch.

Raising Money for a Cure
By Larissa Lutjen
Once again the North
Shuswap's own Team Sunshine will be participating in
the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk for
A Cure and raising money towards finding a cure for
Type 1 Diabetes (also known
as Juvenile Diabetes). The
Walk happens on Sunday, June 9 starting from
MacDonald Park in North
Kamloops.
Team Sunshine is led by
grade 2 student Anna LutjenLaBelle who has lived with
Type 1 Diabetes since she
was four years old. This has
meant 8-10 blood tests a day
and insulin delivered through
injection or insulin pump
with every meal. Until there
is a cure, people with Type 1
Diabetes will have to do
these things every day for the
rest of their lives.
You can support Team
Sunshine's fundraising efforts during the month
of May at Ecotreats and the
Scotch Creek Bottle Depot,
or through an online donation (online donations qualify for a tax deductible receipt). Go to www.jdrf.ca/
walk/, click 'Donate Now',
click 'Pledge a Walker' then
enter 'Team Sunshine' in the
search engine and follow the
directions from there.
Thank you to the people
of the North Shuswap for
your continuing support towards finding a cure!

Health gap in British Columbia is
widening, says BC’s Health
Officers Council
PAINTING
INTERIOR – EXTERIOR
Tel: (250) 679-1078
Cell: (250) 319-1078
Sent on behalf of the BC’s Health
Officers Council
People in the least well-off areas of
British Columbia are dying sooner than
those in better-off areas, according to new
figures from the Health Officers Council
of BC. Overall life expectancy in BC has
improved, but in less affluent areas of the
province life expectancy has remained
much the same or even declined.
In an update to their 2008 report on
health inequality in the province, the
Health Officers Council showed the gap in
life expectancy between Local Health Areas (LHAs) with the highest socioeconomic status (SES) and those with the
lowest SES has widened dramatically.
Overall, life expectancy in British
Columbia increased by 6 months between
the periods of 2002-6 and 2006-10. In the
top 20% well-off regions, life expectancy
increased by over 14 months, to 82.4
years. “What is particularly disturbing,”
said HOC spokesperson Dr. John Millar, a
former Provincial Health Officer, “is that
life expectancy increased by just under 1
month for the lowest SES group and actually declined by almost 3 months for the
second lowest group. It is unprecedented
in Canada for life expectancy to decline,
though we have seen a similar trend in the
USA recently. This suggests that while
individuals in the second lowest SES
group of LHAs still have a life expectancy
more than 1.5 years greater than the lowest income group, the gap between them is
starting to close.”
“It doesn’t have to be this way,” said
Dr. David Patrick, Director of the UBC
School of Population and Public Health.
“Family wealth has much less impact on
health and human potential when relatively small investments in the support of vulnerable families are made, when there is
investment in quality affordable daycare
and when policies better assure that every(Continued on page 23)

one can afford to put a healthy
plate of food on the table.”
The report also examined
the differences between LHAs
with respect to premature mortality rates. The report found
that the differences between
the highest and lowest SES
areas were apparent across
disease groupings and are not
confined to any particular
causes of death.
“We have evidence that
overall health is better in nations that are more economically and socially equitable,”
said Dr. Trevor Hancock, a
Professor and Senior Scholar
at the School of Public Health
and Social Policy at the University of Victoria. “It is good
that the highest income groups
are getting healthier, but the
lowest income groups need to
experience equal or greater
gains if the health gap is to be
narrowed. This calls for a
wide range of policy interventions across all sectors to reduce poverty and improve
supports for the less well
off.”
Background:
The Health Officers Council is
the professional association
for BC’s public health physicians, many of whom are
Medical Health Officers.
Health officers have an obligation under the Public Health
Act to monitor the health of
the population and advise on
important issues that affect the
health of the public. The
Council has been reporting on
the health gap in BC for many
years.
In their 2008 Health Inequities Report, the Health Officers Council made recommendations for public policies
that would improve health in
BC while reducing the health
gap, particularly with respect
to child and family poverty.

Shuswap Hours Tues - Sat 10ish - 4ish
By Jo Anne Malpass
All the stars were out at Lakeview
Center for the Anglebay Entertainers’ hilarious 21st Pig & Whistle musical comedy, Stayin’ Alive.
A hole in the roof necessitated the
celebrities living at the Crows Feet Retirement Residence work together to raise
money. Auditions were held and a stage
show was produced. Among
the celebrities were Greta
Garbo, Phyllis Diller, Carol
Burnette, Charlie Chaplin,
Judy Garland as Dorothy,
Minnie Pearl, Cher, Lucille
Ball and Chico Marx. Jack
Palance had some trouble
trying to reprise his famous
one arm push ups. Even Elvis
put in a guest appearance,
much to the extreme
delight of Betty Bosoms, played by Judy
Weller who also directed the production.
This year, there
were three sold-out
evening performances
and five matinees. The
script by Bill McBride
and Phyllis Mead,
along with the wide
variety of outstanding
musical performances
and humorous skits, kept the audience
captivated throughout the evening.
Act one started off with new resident,
Bill McBride as Barry Buttocks (and it
was obvious where he got that nickname)
touring the facility. A letter was received
saying if the roof wasn’t repaired; the retirement home would be shut down. The
second act was the auditions and act three
was the stage show.
One of the highlights of the auditions
was Music Director Jo Groves as Phyllis
Diller singing My Unfavourite Things
which included back aches, cataracts and
thinning bones. Rosemary French as Greta Garbo, acting as one of the judges, was
unimpressed with the version but was
even more appalled by the crowd pleasing,
risqué rendition of I Wish I could Shimmy
Like My Sister Kate by Jeannine Lebans
as Bunny Lamour.
The stage show opened
with a comical rendition of
Wake Up Little Susie by
Grace McNabb and Melanye
Gough and featured solo and
duet acts as well as performances by The Barbershop
Girls and The Irish Stew
Dancers. It ended with news
the Residence had been
saved and group performances of Stayin’
Alive and We’ll Meet
Again.
Master of Ceremonies Ted Gough
said 7,000 man hours
went into the production before the first
show opened, having
started rehearsals in
September. The average age of the cast
and crew was 70.
As well as the 35
performers, there were many people working behind the scenes to make the production a success. Producer Ann Chow would
like to thank all the volunteers adding the
Pig and Whistle is lucky to have such a
good community with so many people
willing to help. The Lakeview Community Centre Society will be acknowledging
them individually in its column in the
Kicker.

Quilting
By Jan Penner
A quilt is a blanket, a
memory, a storyteller, a work
of art.
Traditionally, a quilt was
constructed from old clothes
and scrap fabrics. The less
worn sections of a favourite
shirt or dress became part of
a covering that offered
warmth, colour and decoration. Eventually, many quilts
became heirlooms, handed
down through generations.
Quilting Bees were a
chance for social interaction
for busy wives. It afforded
them an opportunity to gather
together, to work toward a
common goal, and to escape
from daily, solitary routines.
It also gave small children a
chance to be with others,
early play dates, if you will.
These days, the fabrics,
hand tools and machines designed especially for the construction and finishing of
quilts, make up a multimillion dollar industry.
While some still use scraps
for their projects, a large percentage of quilters purchase
copious amount of fabric
especially for specific projects. Fabric no longer has to
first be a piece of clothing to
be included in a treasured
quilt.
May 11th and 12th, from
9 a.m. - 3 p.m., visit the
Chase Museum to see some
of the quilts, old and new,
created by area residents.
Enter your name in the quilt
draw, which will be made on
June 29th, at the Strawberry
Tea, also to be held in the
Museum.

Carlin School (4005 Myers Frontage Road, Tappen,
BC, 14 km west of Salmon
Arm on Hwy 1) is hosting the
Third Annual Carlin Country
Market, on Saturday, May 25,
the weekend after the long
weekend! The Carlin Country
Market runs from 10 am to 3
pm.
The Carlin Country Market is Carlin School’s primary
fundraising activity for the
year, and embraces the entire
school population, families and
the community. The Carlin
Country Market is fun for everyone, and people attend from
across the Shuswap, and as far
away as Alberta and the Lower
Mainland. The Carlin
schoolyard is turned into an
outdoor festival, with food,
entertainment, market shop-
ping, Kid’s Carnival, and so
much more. The Carlin Country Market raises funds to support numerous activities at
Carlin School.
Admission is by donation
to the school, and all donations
are appreciated - no matter
how large or small. Some of
the features of the Carlin
Country Market include a “pay
what you can” garage sale, a
Tim Horton’s coffee and donut
stand, Tappen Co-op ice
cream, a live entertainment
stage featuring local acts, a
demonstration stage highlighting everything from dancing to
karate - gymnastics to acting.
Visitors can enjoy items from
the concession stand, purchasing goods at the open air market, and securing a coveted
raffle ticket for the class theme
MAY 2013
baskets. The kid’s carnival
again features face painting by
artist Kristy Schroeder, a
shaved ice stand, games,
bouncy houses, and sports.
New for this year are a dunk
tank, a candy stand, and an onsite cash machine. Emergency
vehicle demonstrations, Jaws
of Life, and a show and shine
are all back by popular demand. For those with a green
thumb, there is the everpopular plant sale, and the
silent auction features local
business.
A day at the Carlin Country Market is fun for the whole
family. Come at 10 am and
27
stay until 3 pm. A free shuttle
is provided to get you up the
hill from the parking lots. Remember to bring empty cans
and bottles to drop off at the
gate.

Carlin Country Market, contact

Local Businesses Diverting
Commercial Food Waste
Submitted by Leah Blain,
Thanks to the environmental leadership of four local
businesses, commercial food
waste is being kept out of the
Salmon Arm landfill and composted by Spa Hills Farm.
“This is a huge step in our
Solid Waste Management Plan
moving towards zero waste.
These businesses took the initiative of managing a huge portion of their waste in a totally
sustainable manner. Spa Hills
Farm is equipped to compost
the entire range of food waste
including dairy, meat products
and even soiled paper napkins
which can’t go into ordinary
backyard composters,” says
Columbia Shuswap Regional
District Waste Reduction Facilitator Carmen Fennell.
The four composting stations are located at Table 24,
Okanagan College Salmon
Arm Campus, McDonalds and
the Inner Core Parking Lot,
and Spa Hills Farm is looking
to provide the service to other
interested businesses.
“Coincidently, the Regional District is initiating a
study to examine the feasibility
of diverting residential and
commercial food waste; however these businesses have
already begun diverting on
their own initiative because
they wanted to do the right
thing. They really are community champions.”
Commercial food waste
diversion programs are in
place in other Regional Districts such as Nanaimo, and
residential food waste diversion is being done in Grand
Forks by the Regional District
of Kootenay Boundary. Furthermore, many municipalities
in BC have begun diverting
food waste from the waste
stream through curbside collection programs.
“The business community
in Salmon Arm continues to
show leadership when it comes
to reducing waste,” says Ms.
Fennell. Columbia Shuswap

“I’m going until I reach
the other side or until my goal
is met,” Breyden Erickson told
the Kicker.
Breyden, 18-year-old
grandson of Al and Norma
Lonneberg of Scotch Creek,
started his walk for cancer on
March 23 at Horseshoe Bay in
Vancouver and talked to the
Kicker from his home town of
Salmon Arm in the middle of
April before embarking on the
next leg of his journey.
When a friend of his was
diagnosed with cancer, he decided he wanted to do something to help. He chose his
target amount of $323,323
using the date he started his
journey and says he will keep
walking across the country
until he raises that amount.
He has walked 600 km,
averaging 30 km per day. So
far the weather hasn’t been too
bad, mostly just overcast but
he expects the Rockies will be
a bit more challenging.
Breyden started off walking alone but his family wanted to assist him so his grandparents met him south of Ashcroft in their motorhome.
They have been travelling with
him as his support vehicle,
supplying a place to sleep at
night and grandma’s home
cooked meals. This also relieved him of the burden of
carrying his heavy backpack.
Al Lonneberg said he is
looking into getting permission from Department of
Transportation to follow behind his grandson and acquiring banners for the motorhome. Up until now, Breyden has been wearing a yellow
daffodil on his lighter back(Continued on page 29)

traffic, meeting up with his
grandparents at designated
spots.
Donations can be made on
his behalf by calling 1-800663-2524 or online through
Breyden Walken Erickson’s
personal page for Canadian
Cancer Society. All the donations will go directly to and
through the Cancer Society.
Breyden’s family is also
seeking to raise financial support for expenses for the trip.
If they have to go all the way
to Nova Scotia, the fuel for the
motorhome alone could be $8
to $10 thousand, Lonneberg
explained. He has been approaching various organizations for sponsorship, Bell for
communications, Tim Hortons
for food and a service station
for fuel as well as contacting
local politicians and media.
Breyden hopes to reach
his goal sometime during the
summer so he will be able to
continue his education in the
fall at NAIT in Edmonton.
Lonneberg said Kicker readers
will be kept up to date on their
progress through press releases
from Breyden’s uncle.
18 year old Breyden Walken Erickson pauses to chat with a media photographer as he enters his home town of Salmon Arm. He is walking across Canada to raise awareness and research funds, for a cure for Cancer. His walk
commenced at Horseshoe Bay near Vancouver on Sat March 23rd. Donations can be made to his personal webpage at "Breyden Walken Erickson"

Anglemont Men’s Golf
By Jim Perry
The formal play for the Men's
Club commenced on Thursday,
April 18th with a modest showing of the membership as
many of members were still
enjoying the Sunny Southern winter. The attendance doubled last
Thursday and we expect it to further increase in the weeks of May
as the snowbirds finally come
home to roost. The course is in excellent playing condition considering that it is still only the end of
April. Actually the first two evening's
low net scores were right in line with
what we would expect them to be
in mid-season. The cuisine furnished by the course after play
was excellent as usual and the
prizes were enjoyed by the
winners. Our thanks to
Sunnyside Super market for
sponsoring the first nights'
prizes. We encourage all men
who like a good game of golf
and pleasant repartee to join us
on Thursday evenings with teeoff promptly at 5 P.M.

Anglemont Ladies golf
By Brenda Buffel
Golfing season is underway once
again at Anglemont Estates Golf Club.
Many of our members have been out on
the course numerous times,
some as early as midMarch. Some of our
“snowbird” golfers have
been keeping in fine form
down south. For the time
being, tee times for those
ladies wishing to golf together have been set at 1:00
pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the weather
warms up a little more.
Our official opening has been set
for Tuesday, May 14th at 10 AM when
we will start the season with a fun game.
After the game, a “Lunch by Lisa” (at a
cost of $10/person) will be available,
followed by a general meeting. Please
let us know ASAP so that
we can advise Lisa of numbers for lunch; there is also
a sign-up sheet posted at
the Clubhouse.
All members are encouraged to attend; as well
we encourage and welcome
any women interested in
joining our Club to come
out and join the fun.
Please be ready at the
first tee by 9:45 AM on May 14th so
that teams can be organized.

Local Firefighters Complete
Advanced Training
Submitted by Leah Blain, CSRD
Twelve members in the fire service
from throughout the Columbia Shuswap
Regional District (CSRD) completed the
internationally recognized Fire Officer 1
training course (NFPA 1021), and will
in turn, assist in training the rest of the
CSRD paid-on-call fire officers.
“This will give us the tools to develop our own program,” says CSRD Fire
Services Coordinator Kenn Mount. “We
will develop our own internal Fire Officer training program within the Regional District that will focus on the
needs of Officer training in the CSRD.”
The Fire Officer I training course
was comprised of two training modules.
The first focused on the human resources side of managing a fire department: leadership, administration, writing
and oral communication skills, behaviour management, and supervision. The
second module focused on emergency
scene management: identifying problems, building an incident action plan,
creating strategic goals, developing tac-
tical objectives and assigning the proper
deployment of resources.
“There is more to firefighting than
taking water and putting it on the fire,”
says Mr. Mount. “Structure fires can be
very complex and when a fire department approaches an incident, there are
several unknown factors. This training
helps with the ability to do a proper assessment and effectively tackle a situation safely. Without a proper command
structure and an incident action plan –
that’s when firefighters can get hurt.”
While all CSRD firefighters have
basic firefighting training, the upcoming
training modules will be geared for the
13 rural fire departments within the Regional District and their specific challenges. This initiative comes from the
Fire Services Review that was done for
the CSRD by Dave Mitchell & Associates Ltd. in 2009 which recommended
more specific rural training.
“By training the trainers and providing as much as we can ‘in-house’, we’re
implementing this recommendation in

Kick Up Your Finances
It’s Time to Spring Clean Your Finances By Kelly Christian, Owner
KC Bookkeeping & Tax Services
I think it’s finally safe to say that
spring is here! Now that your taxes are
filed, this is the best time to organize and
review your finances (I promise, this is not
as boring as it sounds)!
To give you some inspiration, I
thought I would share ways to make tax
time next year less of an ordeal and some
ideas so that can save you money for that
much needed summer vacation!
1. Finalize your taxes and file paperwork
Once your taxes have been sent in,
file all the pertaining information in an
envelope, file, file box etc., whatever
works for the amount of paperwork you
have. Put it in a safe but out of the way
spot to keep for 6 years. While you’re in
your storage spot, pull out the paperwork
from 2006 and earlier and either shred or
destroy (as long as you filed the returns on
time). It’s really quite a liberating feeling!
Note to those who are self employed, be
sure to keep any records of assets you
have purchased. It is best to keep these
until 6 years after they are written off in
your books just to be safe.
2. Out with the old and in with the new
Now that you’ve dealt with your tax
paperwork, this is a good time to clean out
the old paperwork and set up new files for
2013. The ideal time for this is in January
so you don’t have to go through and sort
by date, but now is the second best time.
Keep all manuals and receipts for items
that you still own and have warranty cov-
erage for, toss the rest.
Set up files for items that
you will keep indefinitely such as schooling records, resumes,
passports etc. Do this now and when
you’re looking for the items later you will
be amazed at the amount of time it saves
you!
3. Start your budget now or fine tune
what you already have!
If you are serious about saving money, you’re going to need a budget. A
budget allows you to focus on where your
money will be spent – which is essential
for saving money and/or paying off debts.
It will also highlight where you’re overspending.
The trick is to make sure that every
penny is accounted for (this is called zero
based budgeting and it works very well).
Make sure you set aside money for social
activities and anything you may need to
pay for in the near future, like that summer
holiday (hint, hint).
4. Stick to your budget
Creating a budget is the easy part.
Sticking to it is a totally different story. At
first, you will need to check your budget
every day to make sure you are on track.
You will make mistakes in the beginning,
too – that is inevitable. Just stick with it
and eventually, you will get there.
As you get used to sticking to a budget, you won’t have to check it so often –
unless you want to. I warn you, though, it
gets addictive!
Watch for Part Two of Spring Clean
Your Finances Next Month.

Larissa Lutjen has been submitting
articles to the Kicker for the past 4 years.
Her Offspring column offered some
thoughts, ideas and information regarding
rearing and interacting with our children.
Larissa's articles were well-researched and
insightful. She always made a point of
including references, so if you wanted to
delve into an issue more on your own, or
check up on what she had written, you
could.
Larissa, thank-you for your time and
efforts. I always enjoyed reading your
articles and will miss seeing them each
month.
Larissa is actually the
second person we have had
write about family and children. Debi
DeBin wrote Parent's Corner several years
ago. We missed her submissions and were
very happy when Larissa began giving us
her articles. We would very much like to
continue with a column that focuses on
family/children and some of the challenges
we as parents face in this day and age. If
you would be interested in writing such a
column for the Kicker, please contact us,
or send a sample of your writing to: [email protected] or 7320 Estate Place, Anglemont, V0E 1M8, or call 250-955-0534.

What’s Up Doc
By Dr. Janet Bates
North Shuswap Clinic hours:
Mon. –Thurs. 9am to 4pm.
Phone: 250-955-0660
We are now going into our
third spring here in Scotch
Creek and you’d think I would
learn. Last night we had a hard
frost and I lost all my squash
seedlings. Oh well, many
more to plant, hoping last night
was the last frost, but you never know.
The office is very busy,
especially in the summer when
the tourists are here, and so we
have some locums (doctors
replacements) to come during
the busier times of the summer. They work 5-6 days a
week and will provide a bit
more coverage at the office
than we are able to. It is a
great program for rural doctors, however we are presently
searching for accommodation
for these
“locum”
doctors. If
anyone
reading this has suggestions, or
perhaps a house that sits empty
for parts of the summer, and
would consider having a doctor and spouse stay there,
please let us know if you can
help us out. We currently need
a place for June 25th until July
8th. We are hoping to get another locum for August as
well, but this will be dependent
on us finding somewhere for
them to stay. Call our office at
250-955-0660 with any suggestions.
We understand accommodations are at a premium at this
time of year and appreciate
your help.
Wishing everyone a
healthy and safe summer.

Lions are once again
almost at full capacity, with
most of our members now
home from southern locations, and anxious to get on
with the many projects on the
horizon.
I’d like to express my
sincere thanks to Lions Pat
Anderson and Harvey Swenson for submitting very interesting Lions News columns
while I was basking in the
Mexican sunshine.
A major project, involving all of our members is the
Roadside Cleanup, sponsored by the Chamber of
Commerce. Giovanna
Goyan solicited our help in
this annual project, and we
have almost 100 percent participation. Lions have a two
kilometer “Adopt A Highway” section, which we
clean up 4 times a year.
However, this annual spring
cleanup includes the entire
Squilax-Anglemont Road.
Local residents also get involved, picking up garbage
on their own street. Bob Isley and Craig Spooner will
be picking up the large orange bags for deposit at the
Transfer Station on Saturday,
May 11.
Lions Annual General
Meeting on April 11 produced a new Executive –
well some new Executive
members. Lion Tom Price,
having served three years as
President, has stepped down,
and we have a new President,
Lion Jim Perry. Tom is now
Past President, Ron Buffel
remains Vice President,
Nadene Sanderson stays on
as Secretary, and Marlene
Kergan will carry on as our
very able Treasurer. Congratulations (and thank you)
to all.
Also at our April 11
meeting, we welcomed a new
member. Jimmy Alcasid has
joined our group, which
brings our membership to 22
members.
Another Spring clean-up
project on the horizon is the
annual work bee at Camp
Winfield. Lions are invited
to the Annual General Meeting and Work bee the weekend of May 25/26th. Camp
Winfield is operated by the
B.C Lions Society for Children with Disabilities. Our
Club helps support this volunteer organization with annual donations and by helping with their annual cleanup/work party.
The weekly Meat Draw
and 50/50 Draw continue to
attract good attendance at
the Copper Island Pub in
Scotch Creek. Every Saturday, between 3:00 p.m.
and 5:00 p.m. Ten delicious
cuts of meat are won. For
just one dollar per draw,
(good for all ten draws until
you win) you could be a
lucky winner. One 50/50
ticket is drawn at 5:00 p.m.
One lucky winner could go
home with up to $100.00 or
more!
As with all Service
Clubs, Lions are always on
the lookout for new members. As our long time members move out of the area, or
retire from the club for other
reasons, we encourage
younger people to get involved. Any Lions member
can give you information as
to dates and times of meetings. You’re welcome to sit
in on a meeting to see what
we’re about. Support your
community, and make some
new friends.

Chase Soccer League
Kicks Off
By Jan Penner
The Chase Fun Soccer
League is again underway. It
was started in 2005 by Chase
resident Heather Coates and a
committee of 5 others. It has
been going strong ever since
and this year there are 195
players registered, from the
ages of 2 - 12, making up 17
teams. The players come from
Chase, Pritchard, North Shuswap and the Sorrento/Blind
Bay area.
At the beginning of each
new season, a coaching clinic is
held. Ideas for drills, an explanation of the rules and goals of
the league are part of the day.
Coaches are supplied with a
handbook, coaches uniform,
lanyard whistle, everything
they need for the season.
Running such a league is a
costly business. Before the
fields can be rented, liability
insurance has to be obtained.
The total fee for the insurance
is calculated per child with
schedules, number of children
on the field at a time, and the
frequency of games all factoring in. Equipment has to be
replaced often, especially balls
and jerseys. Wear and tear on
the balls means they are useable for 2 -3 seasons, and jerseys
are about the same - both because of wear and because the
jerseys go missing and eventually there are not enough of one
uniform for a whole team. The
jerseys tend to cost upwards of
$20 or more, plus the cost of
silk screening. If a sponsor can
be found for a team, some or all
of the cost is absorbed, but as
everyone knows, in a small
center, there are lots of needs
and only so many donators to
go around.
Equipment that makes the
games run more smoothly is
added to the supplies when
possible. This year lining
equipment was purchased so
that the fields can be lined for
easier definition of the playing
surface.
League fees are also used
for year end and team mementoes. Players are presented
with trophies and medals and a
team photo to commemorate
their season. The year wraps
up with a tournament complete
with games, lunch and fun activities.
What really makes the
league run, aside from the dedication and enthusiasm of the
players, is the backbone of volunteers that organize and administrate league affairs. A
President, 2 Vice-Presidents, an
accountant, equipment manager, fundraising coordinator and
head coach collect applications,
lay out the schedules and solicit
donations, among other duties.
All of the coaches are volunteers, some of whom take on
the job in exchange for paid
fees for their children, and
some who just want to help the
children improve their skills
and simply enjoy the game.
Finally, there are the parents
who get their children out on
Sundays, cheering from the
sideline in snow, rain and blistering sun, encouraging team
building, participation and
physical fun.
If you are looking for a
change of pace on a Sunday,
stop by the fields at Haldane/
Chase Secondary. Soak up
some of the energy and check
out the FUN in the Chase Fun
Soccer League!
If you want to find out
more
about the Chase Fun
Soccer league and the people
who make it work, visit their
Facebook page. Here you will
find up to date information,
thank-yous and accomplishments. Heather Coates is available 7 days a week for questions, concern and assistance.
Finally, the league relies
on the community for donated
storage space for all its equipment. If you have any dry storage area that you could donated, please let someone from the
league know.

Water quality monitoring
was a major focus for SLIPP
in 2012. This program is
providing important information on lake water quality
conditions, and potential
sources of nutrients. Monitoring will continue in 2013 with
the expectation the resulting 3
years of data will lead to recommendations for addressing
water quality issues. Full reports will be posted on
www.slippbc.com as they become available.
Foreshore restoration activities were reported on, with
the key point made that with
few exceptions, the foreshore
below the normal high water
mark is the property of the
Crown slippbc.com and is
therefore a public resource
that cannot be modified without authorization. Restoration
has been completed at seven
sites to date, and a 5 year plan
has been initiated to guide
future restoration works. In
conjunction with this program,
a large number of abandoned
docks were removed from
Shuswap Lake in 2012, and
will continue to be a focus in
2013.
The three year SLIPP
pilot project comes to an end
in March 2014. There are no
decisions or commitments
made regarding the future of
SLIPP or its funding for 2014
and beyond; however, support
was expressed at the April 24
meeting for its continuation
and ideas were presented as
possible priorities if SLIPP
were to continue. These priorities included a shift to management and implementation
of actions, including actions to
address water quality.
All of the presentation
material and summaries, once
completed, from the April 24
meeting will be posted on the
SLIPP website. The public are
encouraged to view the material on the website, understand
what SLIPP is doing, and contact us with any questions.

Scotch Creek Farm &
Craft Market
Submitted by Ted Danyluk
Come out to the Scotch Creek Farm & Craft Market and
prepare to meet the maker. Everything there is home grown,
hand crafted or home cooked. This year’s season begins on
Sunday, May 19 and will be open every Sunday until September 1. Hours of operation will be from 10:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m.
This will be the sixth year that a Market has been happening in Scotch Creek. From humble beginnings at the
parking lot by the Library, then at Mylo’s for several years
and now to over twenty five vendors at the People’s Drug
Mart parking lot.
Individuals come to the Farm & Craft Market week after week for many reasons, including the community gathering experience, the opportunity to talk directly to farmers or
growers and the reassurance of buying fresh. Browsing the
many artisan booths provides the prospect for finding that
“only one of its kind” gift for someone special or discovering
that distinct item you desperately need.
Our Farm & Craft Market offers a unique community of
growers, artisans, craftspeople, bakers and the opportunity to
sample gourmet culinary treasures.
This year we would like to have more performers entertaining the shopping crowds. If you would like to be a
“busker” at the Market please contact our Market manager

Kickin’ Up the
Dirt
By Ann O’Donnell
The view from my window tells me it is time to plant
the summer bulbs. These are
the bulbs that need to be dug
each fall and stored over winter.
Last year the bulbs in
our garden were persistent in
their desire to provide us with
a steady supply of bouquets
well into fall but location was
a bit problematic. I planted
cannas and gladioli in what
was supposed to be a dashing
display, only to watch the cannas turn into eight-foot rogues.
Try as they might, the glads
simply couldn’t keep up and
the display turned into a sort
of peek-a-boo maze as they
tried desperately to stretch into
the sun. This year the gladioli
will go into a separate cutting
bed and the cannas will hopefully work their magic to provide a pleasant screen in the
backyard.
Cannas provide exotic
flowers in varying shades of
cream, yellow, pink, orange,
salmon or red but for me their
biggest attribute is the foliage.
These showstoppers offer
large tropical type leaves in
shades of green, deep burgundy and variegations. They
range in size from 24 – 48” in
the 2013 introduction of
‘Creamsicle’ to the 1.5 to 2metre size of ‘Yellow King
Humbert’. Choose a sunny
location with rich moist soil
and water once a week at least
as these beauties get thirsty
and pout when dry. Feed every
two weeks thru the growing
season with a 10-10-10fertilizer mix. To get a jumpstart on growth, bulbs can be
planted in containers 6 weeks
or so before the last frost, and
transplanted out the same time
as other bedding plants; or just
leave them in the containers to
grace your patio or deck areas.
Gladioli also provide a
rainbow of colour for the gardens and contribute to fabulous cut arrangements. Treat
them much the same as cannas
when planting, although obviously plant shallower than the
larger canna bulbs. The large
blooms on these plants make
staking a requirement, so I try
to fake organization at planting time and place the stakes
then. I either add or move
tying material up the stake as
these gems grow; this seems to
work best to keep them from
‘flopping’ their blooms on the
soil, leaving them with tattered
and dirty ‘dresses’ after a rain.
Another great summer
bulb is a dahlia. Their green
or burgundy foliage is not as
exotic as cannas, but their
blooms make up for this tenfold. And that is the biggest
problem with dahlias - which
ones to choose! Bloom types
range from single, pom-pom,
and cactus, anemone, ball or
water lily to name a few. The
blooms are found in varying
colours and combinations,
with the exception of blue.
Plants range in size from one
to six feet tall, with bloom
sizes ranging from 2 inches to
a 12” dinner plate! Taller varieties will require staking and
all of them prefer a site in full
sun but will grow in almost
any soil type, so long as they
are not wet. Once planted water only after the foliage
emerges to prevent rotting the
tubers. Dahlias make excellent cut flowers along with
providing a glorious display in
containers or beds.
So never mind the window view – I’m off to enjoy
the gardens up close!

North Shuswap
Health Centre Society
www.NSHealthCentre.ca
By Trish Kelley
Last month I staffed a table at Supervalu to promote
membership in our North
Shuswap Health Centre Society. (Thank-you to Annette for
providing us with the space).
A few people were well
aware of the Society’s purpose
and just hadn’t gotten around
to joining yet. We appreciate
those who took the time to fill
in the membership form and
paid their $10.
However I was surprised
to learn how many in our community were unaware of the
NSHCS, what our goals are
and more importantly, how
having a strong health society
impacts them.
Each of us needs and
wants accessible health care
services. We all have experienced the up and downhill ride
of “now we have a doctor in
the community - now we
don’t”. Even if you are healthy
and don’t use the medical services often, it is reassuring to
know that we have two practising physicians in Scotch
Creek. For those of us with
chronic health issues like diabetes for example, we appreciate having access to consistent
monitoring.
So you wonder how does
this relate to you and joining
the North Shuswap Health
Centre Society? The Society
is dedicated to maintaining
health care options on the
North Shore with the goal of
eventually owning and managing all the health services and
equipment needed in a growing
community. We want to encourage health care professionals to set up their practise here,
in our community so that we
can continue to live and work
in an area that supports our
needs.
The Society needs you to
join in this endeavour to
demonstrate to those practitioners that we are committed
to our community and to having a well serviced Health Centre. Anyone over the age of 19
can become a member of the
NSHCS and help us build on
the amazing work already occurring.
I am sure you can appreciate the changes already in
place through the Society’s
initiatives. For example, no
one has to drive to Chase for
blood work anymore now that
we have weekly collection
service. Changes are happening but we need to demonstrate
community support for our
work when we apply for
grants, try to recruit new doctors or establish a foundation.
You can pick up application form at the clinic or on
line at www.nshealthcentre.ca.
Look for a membership sign up
table at local community venues in the next few months as
we strive to have every permanent and summer resident become a member.
A big thank-you to the
Kicker for helping us get our
out message each month.
That’s what community involvement looks like from a
practical perspective.

Donkey Refuge
By Shirley Mainprize
On April 1 we all
breathed a sigh of relief when
the two rented horse trailers
arrived with their special cargo of 15 mini donkeys that
were being rescued from Vancouver Island. The donkeys
had traveled well and were
unloaded into their new permanent home at the Donkey
Refuge in Turtle Valley. This
herd is a group of moms,
daughters and granddaughters
and it was obvious right from
the start that these donkeys
had been well loved and cared
for at some point in their
lives.
The rescue costs were
high as we arranged the transportation along with the initial Farrier and worming
costs that were being arranged
prior to the moving of the
donkeys. Our fundraiser was
successful as folks from all
over Canada heard about the
Island Donkey Rescue and
found it in their hearts to send
donations to assist us along
with the costs of rehabilitation
of the mini donkeys once they
arrived.
The Donkey Refuge made the
decision that if there were to
be any monies left over we
would purchase our own
Horse Trailer that would assist
us with the donkey rescues
that are now being done from
all over British Columbia. We were very surprised
and most appreciative when
we received a substantial Donation from the North Shuswap Lions Club, which has
helped us with the final funds
to purchase our new and very
safe Horse Trailer for the
Donkey Refuge. The Donkey
Refuge is open Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday from
11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. so
visitors can stop by and meet
the over 50 rescued donkeys
that now call the Refuge their
home.

What is Accelerate Shuswap and What Can It Do For
You and Your Business?
Ninety percent of all new jobs in our economy are created by small business, and of those the majority is created
by startup businesses. Businesses that startup without mentorship have a 15% chance of still being in business after 5
years, while those who receive up front training and ongoing mentorship from experienced business mentors have an
87% chance of success.
In the past year Community Futures Shuswap has started
a local business accelerator called “Accelerate Shuswap” to
serve the business community and increase the chance of
business success in the region. The objective of Accelerate
Shuswap is to facilitate successful business growth in the
Shuswap by creating synergy for startup businesses to quick(Continued on page 49)

ly grow and thrive through
collocation with other businesses, business services,
and seasoned mentors. They
also want to work with established businesses to grow
profits and markets or help
with business Successorship
or transition plans they may
have.
The Accelerate Shuswap
(AS) Business Accelerator
invests experience and capital in multiple ventures to
make a profit. Spinoffs from
this include promoting entrepreneurship within the community and increasing earnings among both tenant and
off-site members.
Accelerate Shuswap is
unique from many business
accelerators in that they
don’t receive any direct operational funding, grants or
sponsorships that many accelerators or business incubators are started with. They
are also unique in that they
don’t focus solely on technology and high growth industries to the exclusion of
all others. Further, they have
a “cradle to grave” coverage
for business in that they deal
with everything from start
ups, seasoned businesses
looking for growth, to those
that are looking to exit and
get a return on their investment in their business.
For start up and early
stage companies the advantages are a greater chance
of business success and the
magnitude of success is
greater as well which has
been well documented.
However, established businesses can benefit through
increased sales, profits, and
expansion of markets or partners who add value business
owners get from their investment of time and money in
their business. For those at a
late stage or just looking to
exit and get a return on their
investment, Accelerate Shuswap can work with those
businesses to better prepare
them for a sale and help attract buyers to ultimately be
successful in selling the businesses and getting a reasonable value for their business.
Already Accelerate
Shuswap has had some major
success stories with a number of clients and they would
love to help you and your
business as well. Call their
office at 250-803-0156 to

may help you and your business reach the goals you
have.

At least twice a year Realtors® are required to take an all day
instructional course to update us in changes or items of note in our
industry. These courses are usually in Vernon or Kelowna and it makes
for a long tiring day but, we always learn things we should be learning.
After all these years and all the courses I have attended I can
say that every one of these courses was time well spent. Learning
doesn't stop when you receive your Real Estate License, it must continue as long as you hold your license. I like it because I know all
Realtors® must take the courses in order to maintain their license, it's
not optional. It's also very interesting to understand changes in law or
agency and any of the many topics put on the agenda.
The teachers are usually Lawyers who specialize in the area the
course is focused on. These instructors know their stuff and share it
with the class. Most times I grumble to myself while driving to the
course location but driving home afterward I always reflect on the
great new things I learned that day. I think you the public are well
served by the powers that be requiring Realtors® to be continually
educated.

SLIPP’s Power
Information for all dock
owners & potential dock
owners:
Did you know…
for any buoys installed
after July 1, 2009, you
should have applied for a
building permit through the
CSRD. If however, your
buoy was installed before
that date, there should be no
issues if you comply with
all of Transport Canada’s
regulations.
for any docks ever installed on Shuswap Lake,
you need to have completed
an application through
FrontCounter BC and been
given approval to put a
dock in place. If you want
to apply for a new dock or
to register your old dock at
this time, you now have to
go through 3 levels of Government: the CSRD, the
Provincial Government and
the Federal Government.
This process will take a
minimum of 140 days. If
you want to apply for a
dock now, you would have
approval by midSeptember, if you’re lucky.
if you are a semi-lakefront
owner with no property on
the lake-side of the road (as
per your title certificate),
you have never been authorized to have a dock, and
you can’t get authorization
to have one. In fact, I have
been told by the Enforcement officials that all semilakeshore docks will be removed in the near future.
if you have any maintenance/repairs to undertake
on your dock, no matter if it
is an emergency or just routine care, you must com-
plete a Section 9 form. This
can take up to 45 days to get
the approval to go ahead
with your repairs, during
which time NO work can
commence. In fact, if you
get caught, you can be fined.
Yes, even if your cable
breaks and your dock goes
to shore, you are supposed
to apply for a Section 9.
For another example,
how can a Marina, which is
legally responsible for the
safety of the public while
walking on their property,
maintain their docks? We
all know how quickly a
storm can damage a dock,
which requires immediate
repair and attention. With
the above regulations, a
‘Section 9’ would have to
be applied for, and after
waiting up to 45 days for
approval, repairs can then
finally commence. Can our
seasonal businesses survive
this legislation? Or, can a
private dock owner be expected to leave their dock
unsafe while waiting for
approval to repair? Is this
reasonable to ask? If anyone is found doing work on
crown land (your beach,
etc), a $230.00 fine can be
imposed with a stop-work
order enforced until proper
applications and approval
has been given. What will
this do to small businesses
operating on the North
Shuswap that relate to dock
repairs, buoy & anchor installations & dock building
& installation?
We have been told that
there is approximately
2,000 semi-lakeshore docks
MAY 2013
51
to be dealt with. We’ve also been told
that these semi-lakeshore owners are
allowed to have 1 buoy. So now, with
the removal of these docks, we are going to have all these boats beaching on
shore, to load & offload passengers.
Just think of all the sediment on the
bottom that will be stirred up from this.
Surely this would be a concern to Fisheries Dept as they wanted all docks to
be 5’ off the bottom of the lake. This
just doesn’t make sense.
After attending a SLIPP meeting
in April, it was clearly stated by the
Compliance & Enforcement department of the Ministry of Forests, Lands
and Natural Resources, that they will
be targeting all illegal docks, this
would include waterfront owners that
have not had their docks registered.
These owners will be approached and
at that time it would be determined if
the dock is ‘legal’. If it is not legal the
owner will be requested to have the
dock removed within a certain time
frame. If this is not done, the Ministry
will hire someone to remove the dock,
and bill the owner for all costs incurred. This will happen – maybe not
tomorrow, but as funds and manpower
are available, it will happen. The
Compliance & Enforcement department was very clear on this point.
Does this cause concern? Of
course it does. What will happen to
property value for the semi-lakefront
parcels? Some of these owners bought
their property with a dock already in
place – who would have thought that it
was never permitted to be there?
What will happen to our already challenged economy in the North Shuswap?
With the Land Act of BC being in
place for the past 100 years, and the
Water Act of BC being in place for
such a long period of time as well, why
are we going from no enforcement to
extreme enforcement? If you talk to
the majority of land owners out here,
lakefront or semi-lakefront, and ask
them about the above regulations, I’m
sure very few will have even heard of
them, never mind complied with them.
Why has this not been ‘common
knowledge’ out there? Where has the
communication been between government and the people? Yes, it has always been ‘buyer beware’, but this
borders on the ridiculous. Protection
of our wonderful lake must take place,
but is this the only way to do it? Why
hasn’t the focus been put on water
quality, the discharge of greywater & septic systems, and
removal of derelict docks?

Army of Envirocrats
As if the current army of envirocrats isn't enough, evidently there's a
new crop of petty tyrants swashbuckling around lake country under the flag
"SLIPP". As reported in the April
Kicker, it has even capped a new victim, ripping out some private property
that plainly offended its all-seeing
green eye. Doubtless the assumption is
that the local citizens, or rather subjects, are too cowed in the face of the
fundamentalist cult of environmentalism to squeal when it's just their neighbour who has stuff commandeered or
destroyed.
There is a choice, a choice to refuse to be arbitrarily ruled, to say "no"
and to remember that all we have
comes from an insistence on freedom.
Our buried ancestors must be turning in
their graves at the mewling cowardice
their successors display in the face of
this feel good nanny state nonsense.
And remember also that if you
don't defend your neighbour's property and liberty
he won't be there to help you
defend yours.

Re: Anglemont Fire Hall
“Just the facts mam”
The Anglemont Fire Department does not just serve
Anglemont. The Fire Department services an area from 1/2
km east of Line 17 to the end
of the pavement in St. Ives.
The Anglemont Fire Department is not re-locating the
Hall. The present Hall will be
kept in operation as it is. The
Fire Department has more
equipment than it has room to
house indoors and the property
that the Fire Hall sits on is not
large enough for expansion.
The Department is fortunate to
have a lot donated in a central
location on flat land so it can
build an additional hall. This
will help in serving Magna
Bay and Lucerne Beach in a
timelier manner. The Anglemont Fire Department is fortunate to have volunteers living
in Magna Bay, Lucerne
Beach, St. Ives and
Anglemont.

I was extremely sad to
learn that Larissa Lutjen has
decided to turn in her pen and
end her column " The Offspring". Though I am not a
parent, I find her column was
one of the first places I would
go each month in the Kicker.
Her topics were always well
researched, supported with
interesting source materials,
topical and always made me
reflect on my own values to
the issues raised. Paramount to
her writing was her ability to
teach me new things and at
times question positions raised
so that she sent me looking for
more information.
I will truly miss reading her
column and hope that she will
continue writing in some other
area.

I am writing this letter on
behalf of the Literacy Alliance
of the Shuswap Society
(LASS) to express our heartfelt thanks to all of the community volunteers and supporters who wrote letters and
emails of support when our
literacy coordination funding
was suddenly eliminated in
February.
Although this was initially a shocking and disappointing situation for LASS, we
quickly witnessed a strong
and passionate outpouring of
community support for literacy and LASS. Many letters
and emails were written by
dedicated One to One reading
volunteers, computer tutors
and learners, adult literacy
learners, community organizations, local government, and
local businesses all of whom
recognize the critical importance of addressing literacy
needs in the North OkanaganShuswap.
As a result of this incredible support for community literacy, LASS’s coordination
funding from Decoda (our
provincial literacy organization) via the Ministry of Education has been restored. We
would also like to publicly
recognize and thank our Shuswap MLA, George Abbott,
and the staff at the Salmon
Arm Observer who played
key roles in helping to get our
funding restored.
In addition to this funding, LASS recently received a
Community Gaming Grant
and a New Horizons for Seniors Grant. Now LASS can
continue to move forward to
MAY 2013

help address the literacy needs
in the North OkanaganShuswap.
Thank you again to all of
our dedicated community supporters. You answered our
plea for help and made your
voices clearly heard when our
funding was drastically elimi-
nated. You have truly made a
difference in the lives of literacy learners in our community
and we thank you for your energy, commitment, and passion for literacy.
Sincerely, Jennifer
Findlay,

It is the brain atrophy that

‘how’ it works or ‘why’ would

'STAYIN' ALIVE'
The flurry of activity known as the
2013 Pig and Whistle is now over for another two years and things are eerily quiet.
No sounds of voices joining together in
song are to be heard in the building. No
more buzz about costumes, parts and song
selections are to be heard. From all reports
our 21st Pig and Whistle show was a success; we tried our best to bring a smile to
the faces of those that attended. The
whole community combined to help stage
our performances. Our hard working volunteers put in many hours of labour which
has been estimated at close to 9,000 people hours of volunteer time. The first thing
you noticed when entering the hall was the
'front of house' decor beautifully done by
Jeannine Lebans and her team. Pictures
taken by Lena Whittaker of all the cast
members and crew leaders were "stars" on
the wall of fame! Wonderful job Jeannine
and Lena. Director Judy Weller had a vision for the main hall. She wanted it to
look like a dining room in an upscale retirement residence. Enter the team of Fay
Hadden and Gloria Goodchild. Fay and
Gloria used 16 double rolls of wallpaper to
paper the entire room. Add in 2 faux fireplaces, some creative windows, a couple
of chandeliers, some faux bookshelves and
dining room decals and voila! one upscale
dining room emerged from the scaffolding, ladders and step stools. An enormous,
time consuming job well done. Director
Judy Weller added her own special vision
and sparkle to the script and the characters
developed and came to life under her guidance. She was ably assisted by stage Manager Bev Shea. Thanks Judy and Bev for a
job well done. A huge thank you to our
perpetually cheerful Producer, Ann Chow
for keeping things on track and on schedule (without the benefit of a computer I
might add!!!). Thanks to Music Director
Jo Groves for choosing the wonderful choral pieces. Thanks to Lucille Wood for
directing the Barbershop Girls and to Bill
McBride for directing the Men's Barbershop group. Thanks to Auriel MacKenzie
and Brian Shrum for their magic fingers
for the piano accompaniment. The stage
set was beautifully designed and built by
Linda, Dave, and Jim Mead. Thanks to
Grace McNabb for sewing up the Irish
Stew Dance costumes and for advising us
on costumes choices. Grace was also a
huge help in rounding up acquaintances,
relatives and friends to buy tickets!
Thanks to Grace and Gloria Goodchild for
teaching us the Irish Stew Dance routine!
Much appreciated.
What would a play be without a
script? Thanks to Phyllis Mead and Bill
McBride for working so hard on the script
concept for our production. Thanks also
to Bill for his parody of the Roofer's
Fugue and to Phyllis for T'was Not a Very
Good Year and Stayin' Alive. Very clever
and enjoyable. Phyllis Mead also did an
great job of the Programs - thanks Phyllis.
Josie Gallagher and Linda Brasier styled
many heads of hair and wigs during our
production. Thanks for being there for us we appreciate you. Thanks also to Linda
Brasier for attending all our rehearsals; she
made coffee, served treats and cleaned-up
the kitchen afterwards. She even found
time to video us on her iPad - some performances made us cringe but we knew then
where we needed improvement. Rose
Fayant added cheeks, eyes and lips to our
faces to make us look our best on stage!
Thanks Rose and helpers. Also thanks to
Rose for the cinnamon buns brought for
our clean-up day coffee break! Thanks to
unsung hero, Jack Carlsen for all his work
behind the scenes. He set up the pool room
into "his and hers" dressing rooms and
thinned out some of the clutter in the costume room. Thanks Jack. An enormous

team turned 280 pounds of pork loin into
pulled pork sandwiches. Donna also
cooked one turkey for staff sandwiches
and the team chopped 150 pounds of cabbage (by hand) to make coleslaw. During
the production they used 3 gallons of mayonnaise, 6 gallons of catsup, 15 pounds of
brown sugar, lots of spices and condiments and 1188 buns. They served several
batches of homemade cookies, squares
and treats. Thanks to Alison Elmes for
donating the eggs for the egg salad sandwiches. It was a huge amount of work and
greatly appreciated by everyone. Donna's

Kim Hoadley, Shirley Fricker, Sheena

Linda Davies, Lise O'Brien, Mary Gowen,
Phyllis Shrum, Val Scranton, Rita, Nadine

Stage Crew team of Blair Scranton and

were in the right place at the right time. A

The Pig and Whistle is
over and we can get back to
spending more time outdoors.
The Hummingbirds came
back early to the North Shuswap this year – April 20th as
opposed to May 5th last year.
In March, the annual Owl Survey happens in Canada and I
heard the Northern Pygmy owl
on my property and my friends
heard both the Barred and the
Great Horned Owl around their
property, so I was able to send
in a count this year.
Do you see the large numbers of Deer that are hanging
around this spring? I had reports of a Cougar on the main
road, as well as a female
Moose – I sure hope they go
back up into the hills soon.
Thanks to Rick Howie, we
have received some new, easier
to use Bird Counting Area
Maps. This makes our counting areas more clear and we
cannot infringe on others' territories and count twice. Ineke
and Rudy were unable to go to
the Conference held in May,
because of a death in their
Family. Our Condolences got
out to them.
This May, the Club is having its Meeting up at Skimikin
Lake. We usually have the
May meeting as an outing and
we will be going up there to
have a Potluck Lunch and do
some hiking and bird watching.
The date is May 13th, a Monday, because Tuesday is Election Day. We will meet at the
Race Course Gas Station at
10:00 AM. The road is good
up to the Lake so driving will
not be a problem. If you would
like to come, feel free, we
would love to have you. Bring
hiking boots, a Lunch and
drinks, a warm jacket and Bug
repellent. June will be our
windup Potluck , watch for a
date and location.

bags, a few shades of green, some pinks
and oranges, browns, blues and reds. The
colours were paint chips. Everybody
found lots of stuff and we took home a
few samples. The hardest colours to find
were pink and blue.
Inside we cut off geranium leaves
and put them in water. Hopefully they
will root. We also planted some geraniums in dirt. Pat Jones showed us how to
plant the geraniums and how to care for
them.
Snacks were brought by Ainsleigh
and Declan. They were delicious. We
had cheese, meat, humuus toritilla chips
and homemade pickles. They were fantastic!
Journal sharers were Nauvoo, Sacha,
Katie, Savannah, Louis and Ainsleigh.
Sarah shared a squirrel’s nest and used
one of Katie’s stuffed squirrels to put in
it. Hazel shared a rat’s nest and a bird’s
nest. Anna brought her snails to show us,
before she let them go. Winners for this
month’s draw were Declan, Sacha and
Sarah.
Thank-you to Pat Jones and Lorrie
Schrader and all the parents who participated and helped us on our walk.
Our next meeting will be May 9th.

School News
By Jan Penner
The Bottle Drive on April
13th raised $2100 for Division 1. Mr Schmidt and the
class would like to thank
Doug and Nicki from Scotch
Creek Bottle Depot for all
their help making this such a
successful event, SuperValu
for donating pop and the SC/
LC Fire Hall for cooking up
the hot dogs and serving
lunch, and thanks also to
those parents that helped with
driving and sorting. Finally,
a huge thanks to all of you
that donated recyclables to
Division 1.
On April 15th North
Shuswap Elementary was
visited by Evelyn from the
SPCA. She helped us learn
about animals with presentations entitled: Kindness
Counts to Pets
(Kindergarten), Caring for the
Needs of Animals in the Wild
(Grades 1-3), Companions for
Life (Grades 4-6) and Pet
Health and Safety (Grades
6/7). Thank you Evelyn!
Classes had Gymnastics
instruction the first 2 weeks
in May. Thanks to PAC for
funding this valuable program.

Dave
“School Bottle Drive” - Way to go Kids!
You raised $2000. Thanks to Labeaus,
Hays, Sheppards, SuperValu, Art & Lois
Stohl, Scotch Creek Fire Department, all
the donators, parents and kids that
helped. A big Big thanks to my staff for
their help – Pat, Nicki, Tory, Darrien, Art,
and Roxy.
Always your friend
Doug from the Scotch Creek Bottle Depot
greater than millions? Answer: When 1
astronaut (Chris Hadfield) is busy at the
scheduled time, so millions of Canadian
school children and more around the
world rescheduled for an hour earlier.
The power of Science!
On May 15th, North Shuswap Elementary will be participating in
Walk4Water, a Me to We initiative to
raise funds and awareness for clean water. Donations are being collected, and
every $25 will provide clean drinking
water for a person in one of the villages
sponsored by Free the Children. We
learned that many women and children
have to walk 15km, one way, to attain
clean water. While our walk will be
much less than that, it will definitely help
us to understand how difficult this task
is, and how lucky we are to have such
easy access to clean water.
Classes are now scheduling field
trips and we would like to thank our
PAC for their help with paying fees associated with curricular outings. Without
their generous support, it would not be
possible to afford visits to some of the
excellent educational venues we can access.
A reminder that our Spring Tea will
be held on May 28th from 12 to 1 p.m.
This is our annual thank you to the community for all the support we receive
throughout the year.
June 10th at 12:15 p.m. is our Welcome to Kindergarten session. If you
have or know of a child who will be eligible for Kindergarten in September,
please contact the school at 955-2214, so
that your child can be registered and included in the Welcome festivities.

DIRECTIONS
1) Whisk eggs, milk, parsley, garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl.
2) Gently combine spinach, mushrooms, onion, and feta cheese in a separate bowl.
Spread spinach-mushroom mixture in the prepared pie dish; top with half the Swiss
cheese.
3) Pour egg mixture evenly over the filling, swirling egg mixture in bowl to spread
seasonings through the eggs; top the quiche with remaining Swiss cheese. Place
quiche on a baking sheet.
4) Bake 400 degrees F in preheated oven until the quiche is lightly puffed and browned,
45 to 50 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center of the filling should come out
clean. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

DID YOU KNOW … The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when
Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in America. She then began a campaign to make
"Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States. Although she was successful in 1914,
she was already disappointed with its commercialization by the 1920s

Defining Moments
North Shuswap
Christian Fellowship
St. David’s by-the-Lake
Anglican/United Church
4079 Butters Rd. Scotch Creek
250-955-2545
Just recently we had a visitor from
Berlin in our home. In the course of our
visit we discussed the differences between
life in Berlin and life in Celista. The
primary difference for my guest was
measured in decibels. Life in Berlin
involves the inescapable and relentless
noise of 3.5 million neighbours.
However, I assured her that life in the
country isn't all peace and quiet. I too
have my very own 3.5 million. To prove
my point, I opened a window to let the
sounds of my neighbourhood invade the
room. Suddenly we heard the chorus of a
multitude of amphibious inhabitants from
the neighbouring pond. I told her “These
are the noisy neighbours that I have to
contend with!...neighbours so loud that I
once stopped while driving because I
mistook them for a squeaky bearing on
my car!”
No, life in the country isn't all peace
and quiet. My noisy neighbours remind
me of Nature's role in praising God. The
psalmist calls all creatures to praise God
(Ps. 69, 145, 148). Even the inanimate
heavens declare God's glory (Ps. 19). The
book of Psalms concludes saying: “Let
everything that has breath praise the
LORD!” Jesus declared that if people did

Rev Brian Smith
Sunday 11:00 am
not praise him the rocks would cry out
(Luke 19:40).
From this we can see that whatever
God has made has been made to praise
Him. The desire to worship is part of our
DNA. Worship is inescapable. If we do
not praise God we will worship
something in His place – perhaps our
work, hobbies, friends, family or maybe
even ourselves (Romans 1).
My noisy neighbours are fulfilling
their purpose by proclaiming God's glory,
are we fulfilling ours? There is something
pleasant about the sounds that emanate
from a pond. In the same way there is
something pleasant about praising God.
