...Jan Penner, Editor
Pets are wonderful things. Fish are calming, a cat curled up in your lap offers
companionship and a dog, well, a dog
becomes a member of the family from
the moment it comes home. Man's best
friend, a dog can be a companion, a
helpmate, a protector. Unsupervised a
dog can also be dangerous.
Recently, there have been reports of
packs of dogs in both Scotch Creek and
Anglemont. Two or more dogs constitute a pack and a pack often exhibits
"gang mentality", becoming aggressive
and violent when encountering other
animals or even people. Sometimes a
pack will center around a female, sometimes not. An unaltered male animal is
renowned for its more aggressive
tendencies, particularly if a female or
female in heat is present. Whatever the
combinations in a dog pack, whether you
know some or all of the dogs or not, it is
always advisable to stay clear because
their behaviour can be unpredictable and
volatile. If you are walking your dog,
particularly in light of dog pack sightings, ensure your dog is leashed and under your control.
In Anglemont, a dog out for a walk
with the family was involved in a set-to
with a group of unattended dogs and was
injured. The dog's health was jeopardized and it required a vet's attention,
which in turn resulted in a vet bill. It is
unfortunate that the animal in this situation was injured but what is alarming
here is that these dogs were running
loose, obviously with the potential to be
aggressive, in an area where there are
children. Children playing in their
yards, children going to and from bus
stops, children running and chasing each
other. A pack of dogs does not distinguish between other dogs, animals or
people. While an adult may have the
presence of mind to stay still, to show no
sign of aggression and perhaps avoid
injury if challenged by a pack of dogs, a
child is likely to run, scream and thus
attract the dogs and may create a frenzy.
If your dog may be involved in running the neighbourhood with or without
other dogs, please restrain them. If they
hurt or kill someone else's pet or a human being, you will have to live with the
consequences and your pet will have to
be put down. Also, if your dog is part of
a pack and the pack is reported to the
CSRD and/or the RCMP, the dogs in
question could be destroyed. If you care
about your dog, keep it under control.

Customer Input Sought for North
Shuswap Library Branch Hours
The North Shuswap Branch of the
Okanagan Regional Library is asking
for the public’s assistance in determining which open hours would best serve
the community’s needs. With a growing
population base in the region, the
branch will be open an additional five
hours per week, up to 20 hours a week
from the current 15.
To help determine how these hours
should be scheduled, an “Hours of Operation” survey will be conducted at the
North Shuswap Branch between February 14 and March 19, 2011. Customers
of the ORL and members of the public
are welcome to visit the branch at 3867
Squilax-Anglemont Highway and request a survey; the survey proposes two
options for open hours. Completed surveys can be returned to the North Shuswap Branch. For further information,
please contact Community Librarian
Lee Carreiro at 250-955-8198.

CSRD Director’s Report
Denis Delisle North Shuswap-Indian Point-Seymour Arm Representative, CSRD Area F
250-955-0806 email:[email protected]
From Denis Delisle
There was a meeting with the
CSRD staff and Gateway Development regarding what kind of growth can
go on Gateway property. Gateway feels
that they should have the right to have
around 500 units, we at the CSRD (and I
feel the community) sees that number of
units should be around 212. It is possible that if the Developer took the CSRD
to court they could win the right to have
more units than what is presently allowed to them. Neither one of us wish to
go the way of ligation. We both want to
find a fair way of resolving what will
work out best for everyone. Discussion
needs to bring an innovative approach to
finding solutions that the community
will find acceptable. Before any rezoning takes place the proponents of Gateway will likely need to speak to the public and explain their side. There has to
be some advantages to the public as well
for them to accept any changes to the
development.
In an onsite introduction/visit to
Farrell’s Field with the Parks Commission, discussion revolved around plans
and concerns. It is thrilling to see such
accomplishment by community drive; it
is an incredible thing to have a regulation size hockey rink pretty much done
solely with community effort and money. A meeting of the Parks Advisory
Commission discussed Farrell’s Field,
Capital Budget, Conflicts of Interests,
Communication strategy, Towns for Tomorrow grant (walking trail in Scotch
Creek).
I and Joan Bristow (our dedicated
Tourism Development representative)
hosted some folks from the Roots &
Blues Festival (R&BF). We are exploring the possibility of having an outreach
from the R&BF on the North Shuswap.
What could happen is some of the bands
R&BF import to Salmon Arm could set
up a venue at the NSCA Hall. The show
could include tours of our sights, such
as; the Celista Winery, Crowfoot, Agra–
tours and more. We gave the group a
tour of the Hall in Celista and the Lakeview Center. They were visibly impressed with what was available and the
quality of the Halls. A tour of our well
kept secret farming district along Line 17
was also a pleasant surprise,
for them. Hopefully we will
be able to work something
out; it would be a great benefit to both us
and the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival. If you have any ideas to add to this
concept, please contact me.
Liquor-primary license applications bylaw currently says that the CSRD
will not comment on liquor applications
but wishes to be advised of applications.
The Board decided against formal participation in the application process, which
would require some allocation of staff
time to review the initial application, as
well as the advertising for public comment, review of any responses and the
development of a recommendation
brought to the Board for consideration.
It is sufficient that the CSRD is contacted when applications are made. A letter
will be sent to the BCLCB to ask that
they contact us about applications.
The "St. Ives Street Lighting Specified Area" bylaw was established in
1985. There is a need to change the
amount of money to keep the street
lights working. Costs have steadily gone
up over the years for street lighting. The
maximum amount of money that may be
requisitioned annually for the St Ives
street lights will be brought up to $2,750.
Regional trails are assets that can
provide business opportunities and economic benefit through tourism as well as
contribute to people getting out and
walking, enjoying the beauty of an area
(plus they feed a lot of bugs, with those
soft city skins). Regional trails initiative
discussion and support has come from
the BC Trails Manager, local recreation
officers, Local First Nations, Local Governments, and Stewardship Groups. No
cohesive action or formal commitment
has been made by anyone to solve the
problems that a variety of users are creating in the backwoods. There are reported cases where sensitive areas are
being destroyed by ATVs, bikes, motor
bikes, and horse riders. Recreationists of
both the motorized and non-motorized
types have been putting in trails without
proper consultation or thought in some
cases. Resulting problems have led to
conflicts and potential liability issues.
(Continued on page 5)
MARCH 2011
(Continued from page 4)
A proposed study will start looking
at the Shuswap area in a holistic way.
The Shuswap Trails Alliance, First Nations, CSRD Parks Department and
Shuswap Tourism have come together to
start connecting all users of the land to
work together. The total budget for this
project is $85,000. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the CSRD,
the Province has contributed $35,000.
Shuswap Tourism is contributing
$25,000 and the remaining $25,000 is
being proposed to come from Community Works Funds shared equally ($6,250
each) between Electoral Areas C, D, E,
and F.
The key objectives of this project are
to develop a regional model and process
for collaboration with First Nations, local
governments, stewardship groups and
community leadership regarding trail
management. Strengthened tenures and
authorized trails are critical for long term
security and incentive for local investment in trails throughout the region.
There needs to be different ways for environmental protection, restoration and
management of sensitive sites to be
done. The project is hoped to garner
widespread buy-in from local trail stewardship and user groups. In the end there
is a wish to create a formal commitment
and mandate from local, regional, provincial and First Nations governments.
When that is accomplished, we will then
go to a simpler plan of creating world
peace!
The Board gave first and second
reading to Magna Bay Zoning Bylaw
No. 800-15. A property in Magna Bay
that is in the General Commercial Zone
which permits uses such as campground,
marina, motel, nursery, office, restaurant,
retail store, either a dwelling unit or a
single family dwelling for the use of the
owner, operator or caretaker and accessory use . The owner has applied to rezone the parcel from General Commercial to Residential use. The proposal is
consistent with the policies of the Electoral Area 'F' OCP. Although the historical commercial use of the property was a
campground, the owner does not intend
to continue that use and instead wants to
use the property for residential purposes.
The proposed use would be a single family dwelling and residential campsite,
including two RV camping units.
Chase Legion Branch 107 shows a lot
of heart for the “Variety of Hearts”
Each year exceptional volunteers
pull together to put on a great Dart tournament and Auction with all of he proceeds going to the “Variety of Hearts”.

kids and the support this year has been
fantastic.
At this annual event on Saturday
February 5th over $3300.00 dollars was
raised but we are not done yet. The bus
Reno trip where raised even more mon-
ey for the event.
We would like to thank everyone
who worked so hard for the event and a
special thank you to those who donated
gifts and bid to make the event such an
amazing success.
If you would like to get more information or donate to this great cause

Nutrition Month® Kicked
off March 1, 2011
If given the opportunity
to grow your own food,
would you know how or
what to grow? Do you know
what foods grow regionally
across Canada? If you answered “No” to any of these
questions, then March is a
great time to expand your
knowledge of where your
food comes from and to prepare to get your hands dirty!
Nutrition Month® is
here once again so let’s join
the Dietitians of Canada in
celebrating nutritious local
food by learning to follow
our food from the field
where it’s grown to the family dinner table.
March is that time of
year when we start to anticipate spring and all the delicious foods that come along
with summer and fall in our
region. Purchasing locally
grown food for your family
is a great way to support
local economies while reducing your consumption of
foods that have traveled
thousands of miles to end up
on your dinner plate.
“Noticing where food is
grown, visiting local food
markets, choosing wholesome, fresh foods more often, supporting community
and school gardens, and
providing local foods in our
workplaces and schools are
just a few things we can do
to increase support for local
foods.” says Tatjana Bates,
Community Nutritionist with
Interior Health.
Children’s school food
programs such as Farm-toSchool, a partnership between farms and schools
that provides nutritious local
foods for students, and B.C.
School Fruit and Vegetable
Nutritional Program are increasing in popularity. Currently 17 schools in the
B.C.’s Interior and Northern
regions are offering Farm-to
-School salad bars and over
1100 schools province-wide
are participating in the B.C.
School Fruit and Vegetable
Nutritional Program. Programs such as these help
children learn about where
their food comes from and
about the importance of eating seasonally.
If you’re sold on the
benefits of buying local food
but aren’t sure how to access
it, here are some tips:
 Shop at local farmer’s markets, when available, and
bring the whole family to
participate in the experience.
 Seek out food co-ops, community supported farms,
and local fruit and vegetable stands.
 Ask your grocer to feature
fresh, local produce when
in season.
 Read the labels and stickers on fruits and vegetables
to see where they come
from. When given the opportunity, choose local!
 Check to see if your area
has a produce delivery service from local farms.
 Plant a garden, start a
school garden, or join a
community garden. Gardening can be a fun and
rewarding experience for
the whole family.
 Support restaurants that
design their menus around
local foods.

FIRE NEWS
Submitted by Dave King &
David Baxter
Scotch Creek/Lee Creek
had only one call out in February. A brush fire was reported on Hopwood Road in
Lee Creek. Upon further
investigation it was determined that the fire represented no potential damage to
property or surrounding
buildings. Anglemont VFD
responded to a single motor
vehicle rollover on the Squilax-Anglemont Hwy,
providing traffic control for
the First Responders, B.C.
Ambulance, RCMP, Chase
Search and Rescue and a tow
truck, with their primary objective to cover for a potential fire from a diesel fuel
leak. They also responded to
a false alarm on the SquilaxAnglemont Hwy.
Anglemont VFD wish to
acknowledge Bob Isley for
providing snow removal for
the Magna Bay Community
Park boat launch at Line 17
and Gary Osborne for snow
removal at the Anglemont
Marina. Both of these parties are maintaining access to
the lake for our Fire Department for the balance of the
winter. Another thanks goes
out to Graham, Harley,
Keith, Ross, Tom and Dave
who undertook the daunting
task of removing the snow
from the fire hall roof.
Mike Engholm of the
SC/LC Fire Department has
become one of six members
in the CSRD nationally certified to teach Emergency Vehicle Operation. Congratulations to Mike for this fine
achievement. Twelve AVFD
members completed the
Electrical Safety for Firefighters course presented by
the CSRD.
Remember, wood that
can be burned in brush piles
DOES
NOT
include wood that has been
painted or stained. That
wood and other materials
such as tires, plastics or fertilizers give off hazardous
gasses that can be dangerous
to fire personnel and the general public. You are required
to take these to a CSRD
dumpsite and have them
safely disposed of. Please
note that all planned fires
should be reported, before
they are started, either to the
Fire Chief or to the Provincial office, both would be
helpful. A permit is required
before burning and this can
be issued easily by phone
1-888-797-1717.
With warmer weather
hopefully just around the
corner, that means downtime
for wood burning apparatus.
Take time to check out your
flues and fireplaces. Have
that well used equipment
thoroughly checked out and
cleaned.

Located approximately 20
Kilometers north of Chase.
At approximately 9:15
pm an area resident was driving home when she observed
what appeared to be tire
tracks in the snow that lead
off the road. The passer-by
stopped to investigate and
observed that a pickup truck
had gone down a very steep
embankment coming to a rest
after approximately 200 feet.
The passer-by called 911.
Ambulance and Chase Fire
Rescue attended along with
Chase RCMP. Due to the
sever nature of the terrain
Shuswap Search and Rescue
were also called. Emergency
personnel were not able to
access the crash site from
where the vehicle went off
road.
RCMP and Ambulance
personnel were able to hike in
to the crash site from Holding
Road and perform emergency
first aid to a single occupant
who was trapped in the vehicle.
Despite the efforts of the
emergency personnel the
driver died at the scene. The
Chase RCMP are continuing
to investigate. The name of
the deceased is being withheld at this time.

From Denis Delisle
A new formula was proposed for
those who wanted to join into a water
service area, using 10 as a multiplier of
the parcel tax to calculate a contribution
to capital reserve fee. As the change in
the parcel taxes go from year to year,
the multiplier (10) would stay the same.
The change in the cost of the system
would go up or down depending on the
tax increases or decreases. New users
to a water area have to recognize that
the infrastructure has been paid for and
that the new user has to pay for that
work and investment, as well as future
infrastructure that may be needed as a
result of the increased capacity to the
system that new users cause.
Too many water systems are com-
ing to the CSRD to take them over. A
limit of engineering assessments, 3 at
any one time, has been decided upon.
This would reduce the number of water
systems waiting for grant funding. It
would eliminate expectation from property owners waiting for CSRD take
over and level off expenditure for the
rural Feasibility Study Funding. It will
also reduce the assessment becoming
outdated and help level off the work
load of the Water Services Coordinator.
The idea is to not have too much money
spent to have water/sewer systems on
completed engineering assessments.
There have been many applications for
CSRD to take over private water systems and it has produced a bottle neck.

Chamber News
By Dave Cunliffe, President [email protected]
Hopefully by time the Kicker gets
to press, winter will only be a faint
memory. The Chamber is back to work
and we are planning the following initiatives for 2011.
Continuing to focus on our primary
goal of promoting and supporting
business in the North Shuswap. The
types of things we do include:
Working with local government to
minimize any negative impacts of
new regulations and bylaws.
Providing members with access to
group health, insurance, and other
plans.
Helping coordinate businesses facing common problems to lobby
more effectively.
Producing the 2011 Business Directory for the North Shuswap. It
is almost complete and we are
planning to release it in April.
Coordinating the Roadside Cleanup
Program for the North Shuswap.
Hiring staff for the Tourist Information Center for at least 3 days a
week during the summer season.
Chamber members will also provide
volunteer coverage. The results of
our visits from last year show a real
need to provide information to visitors. The most common inquiries
were “where can we hike or bike?”
Lobbying to maintain health services.
Continued support for the draft
Scotch Creek Neighbourhood Official Community Plan.
The provision of community sewer
and water systems is critical to all
of our business and commercial
property owners in Scotch Creek.
Focusing development in Scotch
Creek will promote sustainable
servicing and help preserve the
rural character of the rest of the
region.
This plan lays out a reasonable
approach to achieving these objectives.
Now that the Branding the Shuswap
process is complete, we will move
ahead on our signing program start-
ing with the “Welcome to Scotch
Creek” sign. We plan to install signs
to celebrate all of the settlement areas in the North Shuswap.
Ending the year with our always successful Christmas Dinner and Dance.
Plan on joining us again this year at
Quaaout Lodge.
The Chamber is a group of volunteers that share a common goal. We are
committed to improving the economic
health of our community. The next
scheduled meeting will be March 28th.
Join us at Creekside at 7:00 PM.
Memberships - Although the Directory is now in print, we still welcome
new members throughout the year. Now
is also a good time to consider advertising signs at either the Adams Lake
pullout or in Scotch Creek as we are
now facing a new sign bylaw that will
restrict placing advertising signs in the
North Shuswap. The Chamber has yet
to form a position on this new bylaw
and welcomes input from members.
Contact Jeff Tarry for more information.
Commercial Property Owners in
Scotch Creek face a unique challenge
with respect to property taxation. While
the Chamber supports the Scotch Creek
Neighbourhood Official Community
Plan, we are also working to help commercial property owners in Scotch
Creek.
In the short term while we wait for
either the CSRD or developers to build
the community sewer and water systems, commercial property owners in
Scotch Creek are experiencing unprecedented increases in property assessments. This combined with the 2.5
times mil rate compared to that applied
to residential properties, the owners are
facing crippling taxation rates.
The problem is that the Area F Official Community Plan does not allow any
new development or expansion in
Scotch Creek unless community water
and sewer systems are in place. Our
business owners have earned our support by providing us convenient access
to the services we need.

Kick Up Your Finances
The Debt Free Vacation
By Kelly Christian,
KC Bookkeeping.
It’s Tax Time again...
It seems like we just finished yesterday but here we are again. Time to collect up the loose papers from the year. If
you’ve been working on your financial
plan they should all be in a file ready for
you to take to your tax preparer. Look
how much less stress it is this way!
Tax time does not have to be stressful to anyone other than your tax preparer, who is working long hours for the
next few months. If you have anything
out of the ordinary and you are unsure of
the tax consequences be sure to get
some solid advise from your bookkeeper, accountant and/or financial advisor
before going ahead with the transaction.
Businesses need to be sure that they
have a set of audit ready books each
year. I would imagine there will be
more GST/HST audits this year because
of the change over and as always Revenue Canada will choose a sector(s) to
target for audits. Will it be yours this
year? Will your books stand up to an
audit? Some of the most common audit
triggers are:
GST/HST return not match up to
the numbers on your business tax return.
This is almost an automatic audit so be
especially careful in this area.
Guessing at numbers is a sure fire
trap especially if the numbers look the
slightest bit phony or questionable.
Expenses that are high compared to
the norm for your past returns and for
your industry average.
A history of audits and assessments.
If during your previous audit, you were
an easy target who did not hire a representative and you just paid up what was
assessed, you will be under the microscope for life and can expect repeated
audits.
Most auditors will
make note of errors, and
you need to make the
time and commitment to address your
bookkeeping going forward. If you don’t
make the appropriate changes, then on a
return audit, auditors can easily find the
same repetitive infraction(s) and assess
penalties on it.
Your best defense are “audit ready
books and records”. You need a highly
skilled bookkeeper (not just someone
who can do data entry) or an accountant
or both depending upon the complexity
of your business and records.
As a business owner, you need to do
your part in the record keeping. You
need to be meticulous with keeping your
records and receipts. If you record the
nature of the expenses on the receipts,
keep a log of your vehicle expenses, and
keep business and personal records separate. Not only will you will save on
bookkeeping fees, but you will save
yourself headaches and money at tax
time.
You and your bookkeeper need a
good working relationship with your tax
preparer. Always remember that old
saying of “garbage in, is garbage out.”
No tax preparer can do a proper tax return without first having proper
bookkeeping.
Yes, good bookkeeping costs money but businesses cannot afford to simply roll over and let the auditors take their
hard earned money. It is possible to protect your business from non-compliance
and audits without breaking the bank.
THE BEST DEFENSE IS ALWAYS A GOOD OFFENSE and your
best offense is truly audit-ready
bookkeeping. Call me at (250) 9556292 if you need more information
about how I can help you make your
books audit-ready for this tax season.

DARE TO DREAM
By Bev Shea
“People with high selfesteem have it because they
have overcome their failures.
They have been put to the
test of life, overcome the
problems and
grown” (David Jansen). Too
often we allow negative selftalk to stop us from trying
new things (I can’t do that, I
am not creative, I am too
stupid), meeting new people
or experiencing life. If you
are sabotaging yourself in
this way it is time to stop and
take control. Remember that
you have the power to
change what you are telling
yourself and other people
about you.
The first step is to become aware of what you are
saying to yourself. What do
you say to yourself when you
make a mistake (and we all
make mistakes). Do you tell
yourself “this is what always
happens”, “I am too stupid to
do this” or “I am too old to
learn something new”?
Once you are aware of
what you are telling yourself
get a piece of paper and write
down these negative statements. Sometimes it can be a
real eye-opener when we see
written down what we have
been telling ourselves over
and over again.
You have your list of
negative statements on one
side of the piece of paper,
now for the hard part, I want
you to write a positive or at
least a neutral statement for
each of those negatives. For
example, if you wrote down,
“I always get the wrong answer” beside it write “I made
a mistake this time, next time
I will do better”. Do this with
each of your negative statements.
Keep your list with you
and keep checking on your
thoughts. When one of your
negative statements come to
mind, replace it with your
positive thought. Go back to
the beginning of this article people with high self-esteem
have it because they have
overcome their failures. Do
not let a fear of failure stop
you from experiencing the
most in life. Go out this
month and try something
new. Do not worry if you fail
the first time, the point is to
try something different and
who knows you may just
find that “you can do that,
that you are creative and you
are not stupid”. Paramahansa
Yogananda said “Do not
take life’s experiences too
seriously. Above all do not
let them hurt you . . . Play
your part in life but never
forget that it is only a role”.
Get ready to enjoy
spring, I know this snow will
soon be gone, after all don’t I
always say “Miracle follows
miracle and wonders never
cease. And that’s the way it
is!”
Cleaning Tip...
Add a cup of Hydrogen Peroxide instead of bleach to a load of
whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on
clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let is sit for a
minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water.

Interior Health is pleased to announce two new physicians will be joining the Chase clinic within the coming
weeks, with a third scheduled to start in
the summer.
“Our government has been hard at
work to recruit physicians, particularly
for rural areas,” says Parliamentary
Health Secretary for Health Promotion
and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA
Terry Lake. “This is great news for the
Village of Chase and Interior Health.”
Drs. Janet and Ken Bates arrived in
February, while Dr. Sandeep Sharma is
expected to join the clinic in July. The
Bates are returning to Canada from Oregon. They have family ties in Kamloops.
“Chase is a great example of a community that meets challenges by continuing to put its best foot forward to attract
physicians, while working collaboratively with government and Interior Health
as vital partners in the recruiting pro(Continued on page 15)

cess,” says Minister of Social
Development Kevin Krueger,
Kamloops-South Thompson
MLA.
The new physicians join
current physician Dr. Mahadava Krishantha at the
clinic.
“We are very pleased to
hear that the Chase clinic will
soon once again be operating
with a full complement of
physicians,“ says Interior
Health Chair Norman Embree. “We would like to
thank Dr. Krishantha for his
continued hard work, and the
community for their patience
and cooperation as the clinic
has been busy recruiting.”
The Chase health centre
and clinic operate as a primary care facility operated by
Interior Health with a daytime Emergency Department.
“Chase has so much to
offer in terms of natural
beauty, recreation and lifestyle,” says Village of Chase
Mayor Harry Danyluk. “We
look forward to introducing
these new physicians to the
clinic and our wonderful
community.”
The Bates have experience in family practice, particularly in geriatrics and
Emergency medicine. They
look forward to establishing
their practice in Chase and
seeing patients of all ages.
“We are both excited to
be here, and look forward to
meeting the people of
Chase,” says Dr. Janet Bates.

A big thank you to Lion
Pat Anderson for keeping
you up to date on Lions activities last month, while I
was basking in the sun in the
Mexican Baja. We had a
super holiday, and now we’re
holding the fort while Lion
Pat and Lion Ron Buffel are
holidaying in Kenya and
South America respectively.
Marlene Kergan was our
guest of honor at the February 24th meeting, when she
‘visited’ our club in her capacity of Zone Chairman.
This is Marlene’s second
term as Zone Chair. Our
Zone consists of North Kamloops, Valleyview, Chase,
Sorrento, Salmon Arm and
North Shuswap. Marlene
acts as liaison between these
6 clubs, keeping everyone
informed of District activities, and visits each of the
clubs in her Zone. There’s a
lot of road travel and late
evenings, as well as hours of
communicating and paperwork, Marlene is also our
Treasurer, which in itself is a
big job. Visitors came from
Chase for the dinner meeting,
and to honor Marlene, who
will finish her term at the end
of June.
The Farrells Field Skating Party on February 12th
was a huge success! What a
fantastic job the volunteers
have done to create a really
great place for healthy outdoor activities for young and
old alike in the North Shuswap. Lions were on hand to
serve hot dogs and hot chocolate, and Super Valu donated chocolate cup cakes in
honor of Valentine’s day, so
everyone was well fed. The
recent cold weather has
lengthen the skating season
for a while at least. Congratulations to Lion Al Christopherson for spearheading
development at this facility
for all to enjoy.
Lions are chomping to
get busy with outdoor projects as soon as weather permits. Now that the days are
longer, we can see Spring
just around the corner. The
first project will be to build
steps down to the beach to
access the swimming float
from the parking lot at the
Community Hall.
The Hot Lunch program
at the school will continue
until the end of the term.
Lions attend once a month to
distribute lunches. This is
one of the most popular activities for some of our Lions. The children and teachers are so appreciative and
helpful, it’s a pleasure to be
there.
The weekly Meat Draw
and 50/50 Draw at the Copper Island Pub in Scotch
Creek is held Saturday, 3:00
pm til 5:00 pm. Karen and
her staff have great hot appies and specials for Saturdays. Meet your friends and
help support the Lions at the
same time.

Auction Tally Bodes Well for Shuswap
Trails in 2011
Shuswap Trail Alliance
The tally from last weeks Trail Party
and Auction is in and the results show a
resounding yes in support of ongoing
development of greenway trails
throughout the Shuswap. “We were
able to net just over $25,000,” announced Shuswap Trail Alliance chair,
Winston Pain. “Incredible thanks go out
to all the volunteers and community
sponsors who supported this year’s
event!”
The new funds put the foundation
in place to support another year of
greenway trail projects throughout the
Shuswap. The Alliance is calling this
The Year of the Trail Steward. “We
really want people to get outside, get
active, and use the trails,” says Trail
Alliance coordinator, Phil McIntyrePaul. “And we want to get more people
actively involved in looking after those
trails.”
The Shuswap Trail Alliance was
formed in 2005 as a meeting point for
regional trail leadership to work together. Since then regional partners have
strengthened relationships, developed
trail design standards, built over 50 km
of new greenway trails, implemented
the regional trail sign program, and

The 2010 Salute to the Sockeye
hosted by the Adams River Salmon
Society was a huge success. Records
were broken for both the numbers of
salmon and the numbers of people attending the three-week long Salute
event. Now the Salmon Society has the
enviable task to determine how best to
use the Salute proceeds to fulfill its
mandate to encourage and facilitate the
education and conservation of the natural and cultural resources of Roderick
Haig Brown Park. A sub-committee
has been set up to consider potential
projects. One step will be to hear from

worked together to improve environmental standards for trail management.
2011 trail projects include the
launch of a new regional planning effort
with the Shuswap First Nations and
local governments that will include both
motorized and non-motorized trail user
groups. Project targets also include the
creation of a trail stewardship program
to get volunteers involved in monitoring
environmental impacts along trails, a
search for new matching grants to support local trail projects, and further improvements to the Larch Hills Traverse,
the Rubberhead, and South Canoe trails.
Further work will continue with Shuswap Tourism on trail maps, guides, and
promotional partnerships, plus volunteer trail days will be back starting in
April.
“And watch for more from the new
Shuswap Trail Alliance Mountain Bike
committee,” says Phil. “They’re really
motivated and will be coordinating several events to get people out on the
trails this year.”

Like many people,
some of our North Shuswap
First Responders leave for
sunnier climates for some or
all of our winter season. Those of us who remained decided to try something new for the winter
training sessions. We had
tried First Responders who
aren't Trainers present information in area on which
they thought they needed
more information. The first
such session, in January,
was on hypothermia which
was covered in the February
Kicker.
For the first February
training session, the topic
was shock. Our glossary
definition of shock is "a life
threatening, progressive
condition that results from
the inadequate delivery of
oxygenated blood throughout the body." This is a
brief summary of the
presentation. Shock can be
the result of heart failure,
spinal or head injuries, and
loss of blood volume or severe fluid loss. Loss of
blood usually occurs from
injuries, either internal or
external. Fluid loss can be
the result of illnesses that
involve excessive vomiting,
diarrhea and dehydration. High body temperatures can also lead to
shock. During the first
stage of shock, the skin may
be pale and the heart beat
may be a little rapid. Often
the person is restless or anxious. As shock progresses
to the next stage, the skin
may change to a mottled or
bluish/gray colour and become cool and moist. At
this point, there can be
changes in a person's mental
state (less coherence, aggression, etc.)
If you suspect a person
is going into shock, keep
them warm but do not over-
heat
them. Raise the legs between 20 and 30 cm (8 to 12
inches). Injuries that cause
serious blood loss need to be
dealt with immediately. Direct pressure and elevation may control bleeding. Tourniquets are a last
resort and should only be
used if a limb has been
lost. If the person has any
obvious or suspected head,
neck, spine, chest, abdomen,
pelvis or leg injuries, they
should be kept lying flat on
their backs. As with all serious injuries, a person should
not be moved from the site
of the accident or injury
unless there is life threatening danger, for example,
fire. Never give them anything to eat or drink during
the second stage. Since
shock can progress to life
threatening levels, it is important to call 911.
It may be difficult to
tell if a child (infant to 6
years) is suffering from
shock. There are a couple
of simple tests that can be
used. One is to squeeze a
finger or toe nail and release. The tissue under the
nail should regain normal
colouring within 2 seconds. With an infant, you
can squeeze the palm of the
hand or sole of the foot and
the normal colour should
come back in a couple of
seconds.
We can't help you if we
can't find you! If you don't
have one of our reflective
address signs yet, you can
purchase one for $30.00. To
order, please call Barb Overland at 250-955-0725. If
you require temporary use
of home support aides such
as crutches or a wheelchair,
please call Joan Bristow at
250-955-3204.

Citizens On Patrol
From Denis Delisle
North Shuswap Safety &
Police Advisory Committee
met with the RCMP to discuss how Citizens on Patrol
could be started in the North
Shuswap. At one time there
was a COP program but volunteer burn out led to the
collapse of the group. With
the increase in crime on the
North Shuswap, people are
seeing the need to be more
proactive. Last year saw at
least 5 different criminal
groups come into the area
ripping off residents and
businesses. It is going to get
worse before it gets better,
and the RCMP needs help.
The RCMP would greatly
appreciate the citizens to be
their eyes and ears, as they
have a very large area to cover and few members to police
the area.
If enough people signed
on for COP, it could be arranged that a person would
only have to volunteer 1 day
a month to do patrols in the
North Shuswap. Presently
the plan is to hold an open
house on March 26th at 2
p.m. at the North Shuswap
Community Hall in Celista,
to discuss the growing crime
rate in the area. This NSS &
PAC event is being spearheaded by Linda Sutton and
Anne Flanders. FMI contact
Linda Sutton at 955-6144.

Postal Sites
From Denis Delisle
In my contact with the
different agencies dealing with
mail boxes this is what I understood the situation to be;
Changes in the community
mailbox locations were reviewed by the Ministry of
Transportation and Infrastructure to ensure they were safe
and met their design criteria.
Some of the specifications
required could be one parking
spot for up to 80 mailboxes
and two parking spots for up
to 160 mailboxes. While a flat
location may be preferred,
sometimes because of the area
layout there is not one available.
MARCH 2011
The local post office has
had discussions with a snow
clearance contractor to keep
the areas cleared. Obviously
snow clearance and sanding
on View Road itself is Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) responsibility. Catchment areas are
assigned to each community
mailbox location. Residents
are assigned to the mailboxes
on the basis of safety, proximity to customers, size restrictions at sites, cost, ease of
sortation and other factors.
The View Road mail box
site (Lee Creek) was installed
to reduce the number of customers at the Mabry Road site
and to lessen the number of
customers having to cross
Squilax-Anglemont Road in
order to pick up their
mail. The View Road site only
services customers living on
Hopwood, Lee Creek and
View roads - and no customers on Squilax-Anglemont
Road. As I understood it;
MOTI guidelines would suggest that the existing View
Road and Mabry Road sites
could not be combined at the
same location and either a
new location would have to be
found or customers would
have to be moved to a location
that is located off-road (such
as the site at 2199 SquilaxAnglemont Rd – Tourist Info
sign). Any new locations
would have to be reviewed by
Canada Post and MoTI and
approved.
If people are receiving
their mail late; it may be because all of the delivery personnel in Chase have had their
routes redone. Canada Post
wants their employees to be in
as safe an environment as possible. It is why they want
them not to cross the road,
make right hand turns, and
avoid crossing lanes.
MoTI is still working
with Canada Post reviewing
proposed locations, and
if they are deemed unsafe,
there would be a recommendation to revise the proposal,
prior to issuing a permit. Both
agencies have to work together to find a solution that addresses the safety issues of the
residents, MoTI and Canada
Post.

We had a good crowd at the February Coffee House despite the cold. It was
good to see everyone out. Michael
Brideau did a fine job emceeing. Thanks
Michael for doing this job time after time,
with grace.
Returning to our stage after a 30 year
absence Reno Jack opened the show. He
gave us three songs, well played and well
received.
Barry Warkentin took the stage next.
Reno Jack joined him, as they used to
play together. Barry’s three songs were
as always, good listening.
Feeling better in fine form, Dave
Allan was on next. Joining him on the
first song was Lorn McCausland with his
violin. Dave Allen and Reno Jack, Willie
Gaw and Lorn McCausland joined for a
song. Dave Allen and Reno Jack ended
the set.
Taking us to intermission were Willie and Pam Gaw and Reno jack. Pam
sang ‘Fairy Tale in My Mind’ a song she
had written. Lovely song. It’s always
good to see people stretching themselves.
February’s feature performer, David
Balser, took the stage after intermission.
He quickly had the audience participating
in the first song. During the set David
played piano as well as two different guitars. It was nice and unexpected to hear
him on piano. The last song of the set
was “Ghost Riders” played by both David
Balister and Reno Jack.
David Baxter told a story about his father.
It occurred during the early years of
World War II in Trenton, Ontario. As
always, a good story well told.
Emily Mayer came up next to play
piano. Young as she is she did herself
proud. It was Emily’s first time on our
stage; hopefully she’ll do it again. Congratulations and thanks for giving us a
good time.
Robert Wiebe then gave us two instrumentals, “Whispering Hope” and
“Until Then”. In between these he played
‘Old Log Cabin for Sale’ a hit with the
crowd. Hope you come again.
Ending the night were Joanie Robertson and Robie Milne. Robie played the
wazoo as well as guitar. They included
the audience and as usual, everyone had a
good time.
The week of April 11th to 16th is First
Responders Awareness Week and they
will be out and about in the community.
The April 15th, Coffee house will be dedicated to the First Responders. Thank you
all for doing such a fine job when and
where you are needed most.
The March 18th Coffee House, will
feature Adam Hokenson, a great crowd
pleaser.
Thanks to Super Valu and all those
who brought goodies. They’re well
named. Thanks go to the volunteers who
keep the event going: Darlene Volk on
the door; Ron Schrader on the sound;
Lorrie Schrader, Sara Elder (Phelan) and
Michala Mathew in the kitchen. Thanks
also to everyone else who helped.
Hope to see you all at the March 18th
Coffee House.
Earth hour started in Sydney, Australia in 2007
when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned off
their lights for one hour to make a stand against
climate change. Last year hundreds of millions of people took part
in the third Earth Hour. There were over 4000 cities in 88 countries
who participated, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global
climate change initiative.
This year Earth Hour takes place on Saturday March 26th at 8:30
pm. This global action call goes out to every individual, business
and community throughout the world. It is a call to take responsibility and lead the way towards a sustainable future. Let’s all be a part
of making 2011 the biggest Earth Hour yet.

On February 4th, the staff and students at North Shuswap Elementary
held their first ever Skate-a-Thon at
Farrell's Field in Celista. The purpose
of the event was to raise money to help
a village in Kenya. It was a beautiful
day and the kids had a great time.
Close to $900 will be sent to the village
through the Save The Children Fund.
A big thanks goes out to: Brian
and Karen for doing such a great job
with the rink, to Bob for clearing the
ice so it was ready for the kids, to Glen
Hobbs who cleared the parking lot in
the morning, to Carla Goertzen, Brent
Schaffer and Julie Smith for providing
goodies to eat, Ecotreats for providing
the hot chocolate containers. Thanks
to anyone else that was missed, who
helped to make this such a great day.

My father, Mike Riley, in
1962, had the second largest
logging quota in the Shuswap.
At that time his logging operation was headquartered at
Albas on Seymour Arm of the
Shuswap Lake....
...Mike and Bob Gardiner
had just made a successful
voyage down the Little River
and for some reason shut the
tug down once they were in
the Little Shuswap, not thinking about the current pushing
the boom closer and the tow
rope into the prop area. They
started the 6-71 Detroit Diesel
engine, engaged the marine
clutch drive and promptly
stalled the idling engine. It
took them about half a day to
cut the one inch tow rope out
of the prop.
...Dad always told us to:
number one - take care of
ourselves, two - look after the
boat and three - make sure if
we had to cut the boom loose,
to try to do it where it wasn't
going to wreak havoc with
buoyed out boats, etc.
Most of the time, it was
extremely boring, but the odd
incident comes to mind. One
night, we were out in the main
lake near home and Jim
McLean (Jimco Towing today) and his cousin, Bobby
Taylor, decided to come out
and spend the night on board
with Al and myself. A north
westerly came up, creating
waves big enough to roll a
sleeping Al right out of bed.
We wanted to cut the boom
loose but remembered what
dad had told us about letting it
go where it was going to
cause serious problems. We
also knew that Ernie Whitehead's floatplane was moored
at Eagle Bay, along with quite
a number of boats. We did
not want it to get tangled up
with them. We hung on until
the wind had blown us backward far enough for it to be
reasonably safe to cut the
rope, and cast the boom loose
to go to shore on the north
side of the lake where it was
almost calm. We docked at
Bill Goldney's and he phoned
home for a ride for us.
Another time, I was on
my one hour watch... I
thought I could just take a nap
for 15 minutes - since we
weren't going fast enough to
get off course in that amount
of time. So I did- for three
hours. I woke up to nothing
but white beach lit up by the
running lights on the roof of
the tug boat cabin. The motor
was still churning away, with
rocks and sand being thrown
off the lake bottom out towards the center of the lake
by the 36" prop. I woke Al up
and advised him we needed to
pull the rope in, and back out
to get going again, which we
did, in as big a hurry as possible. We were back on our
way, nothing too serious, although the propeller probably
didn't like the rocks. But,
who was to know that, especially father! We weren't
about to tell him. He came
along in his speedboat in the
morning and said, "God, it
must have been a bad west
wind last night - you didn't go
far and I see you lost some
logs." We readily agreed that
it had been pretty ugly out
that night and that was all that
was said on the issue until we
told him the truth many years
later. We laughed about it
the, but I know it wouldn't
have been good to tell him at
the time....

Historical Happenings
From Loretta Greenough
On March 13, 2011 the Historical
Photographic Presentation will be taking place in the North Shuswap Community Hall from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to come out to see
some photographs, learn about the history
of the North Shuswap and enjoy the refreshments that are provided. This is a
great opportunity to learn about the North
Shuswap Historical Society and possibly
become a member.
The North Shuswap Historical Society thanks SuperValu and the people who
place their slips in our collection box at
the store. This service is much appreciated and very helpful to the society.
The society is beginning to work on
Shuswap Chronicles Volume 10. If you
have stories or information about sports
or entertainment that have taken place in
the North Shuswap over the years we are
interested in receiving any anecdotes.
Several people have already begun researching some stories.
The society is also planning on expanding the Historical Driving Tour
routes for the North Shuswap to include
areas not yet showcased.
Thank you to the various individuals
who have allowed us to scan their photographs for the Archives. This is a slow
continuous progress but very beneficial
for the community.
We look forward to seeing you at the
Photographic Presentation.
Never save something for a special occasion.
Every day in your life is a special occasion.

From Denis Delisle
Why is there a need for
a soil removal bylaw? Mostly it is for the benefit of adjacent most land owners as they
are the most impacted. However problems with road usage, dust, noise in areas where
a new use is occurring, can
affect many neighborhoods.
In the past in some areas a lot
would be essentially mined for
material and left totally destitute, with the local roads destroyed. In other cases people
have stored material that can
have environmental impact or
just look ugly. There is little
anyone can do about these
situations right now.
The absence of a bylaw
has created problems such as
in one case, 925 truckloads of
fill were taken off of a lot.
This lot sits open a decade
later and under the Mines Act
there is nothing that can be
done with the property. Under
the mines act, there is no control over such things as; blasting, mining quarry and soil
removal on ALR lands. The
CSRD cannot supersede Mining or ALR regulations, they
however can regulate; processing, delivery of material to
and from the site. A soil removal bylaw can deal with
such issues as; movement of
contaminated soils, permit
exemptions for small scale
situations, dealing with slope
stabilization, erosion issues,
public consultation, consideration of surrounding land use/
resident quality of life, storm
water management, hours of
operation, noise levels and
proper accesses (fencing,
gates).
The proposed Noise
Bylaw created concerns as to
how we can effectively enforce the bylaw. The CSRD
had a noise bylaw in 1998 that
was removed because it could
not be properly enforced. As
well as a Marine Noise bylaw
(created in 1982) has nil effec-
tiveness for a variety of reasons. How can we decide
what is an inappropriate noise
level?
The main intent of the
bylaw is to deal with ongoing
loud party noises, late in the
night. It seems in some places
people buy homes just to party, the surrounding neighbours
are used to sleeping those
hours. It was suggested that
areas of recurring noise problems could have the CSRD
bylaw officer deal with offenders, in some situations.
The RCMP is very supportive
of this bylaw and would likely
be the main enforcement of
the noise bylaw. The CSRD
involvement would be to firstly educate the residents that
there is a bylaw and it is enforceable. Secondly, if there is
a property where noise is repeatedly created after hours
the CSRD bylaw officer
would issue a warning. Persistent complaints would result in a ticket. If the noise
continued, a high fine would
be applied to the property
owner. The resulting income
from the fines could be used
to recover enforcing the
CSRD’s bylaws. Using the
Municipal Ticketing Information System (MTI) is an
effective and cheap way to
enforce the bylaw and would
likely be used. If this bylaw
was accepted it would only be
in North & South Shuswap.
The Fire Service Operational Criteria Bylaw produced 11 years ago, gives direction to what the Fire services Coordinator's (Jack
Blair) responsibilities are. As
well it lays out what Fire
Chiefs' responsibilities and
duties are. Changes are being
proposed. Some of these
changes to the Fire Service
operations would be; VFD
flag persons will be allowed to
flag, if trained. It was not a
clear mandate if VFD could

flag or not, it is out of necessity that this has been included.
It is far too dangerous for volunteer firefighters to be on the
roads without some sort of
traffic control. Other services
may be allowed within Fire
Departments such as; hazardous materials, medical responder and Road Rescue can
now be a component for Volunteer Fire Departments. It
would be up to the VFD and
the Electoral Area Directors to
pursue highway rescue option,
if they want it. The risks and
liabilities will have to be carefully studied and weighed
before it can be allowed. Mutual aid agreements will now
not be needed, as the CSRD
owns all the VFDs so there is
no need to have formal agreements, between them.
Fireworks Bylaw 509
has re-defined definitions for
the bylaw. It is used only in
areas “C” & ”F”. The changes
are to allow organizations that
have a valid purpose to be
able to display fireworks for
public functions. The definitions for special users of fireworks are a recognized organ-
ization or community group
that is social, athletic, recreational, fraternal and benevolent or patriotic in nature.
Special Public Function is an
annual or infrequently occurring activity that shall be categorized as either a community
event or non-community event.
Permits could be allowed for
community events for special
public functions “not for profit”, that does not benefit an
individual or group. All applications for Fireworks will be
decided by the Fire Service
Coordinator.
Special Events Bylaw
will be only for areas “D”,
“C” & “F”, at the request of
the RCMP who will be enforcing the bylaw. The bylaw
is being brought in because of
large groups of people setting
up parties in rural areas. Other Regional Districts have
brought in the bylaw which
forces large parties to the
CSRD. It will not include
gatherings of licensed theaters, school, gymnasium, auditorium, an annual celebration,
fair, fund raising event organization, community association
or fire department.

Loose lips sink ships!
Here are two recent stories, and neither story happened in
the Shuswap but stories like them have.
A young couple hears from their friend about a very motivated seller of a vacant house. The young couple has just
enough cash and credit for a one-time offer on their first
home. They view the home with their Realtor® then go back
without the Realtor® to look around the yard. That's when
they meet the neighbour. They are excited to meet the man
and tell their new neighbour everything about their planned
offer. They then leave to meet with their Realtor® to write the
offer. That afternoon the neighbor calls his own Realtor® and
writes an offer just better, and just out of reach for the young
couple. The young couple can't buy the house, the neighbor
does. Loose lips sink ships!
Story two: A mature couple has new friends over for a dinner
party. After dinner the hosts tell their new friends about a
great Real Estate investment they stumbled on to. They tell
their new friends everything about the offer their Realtor® will
write for them the next morning. The hosts tell their new
friends how high they are financially able to go to secure the
opportunity. You guessed it; the dinner guests call their own
Realtor® and armed with what their dinner hosts told them,
the guests wrote a better offer that they knew their hosts
could not better. Loose lips sink ships!
If you are giving or receiving an offer on Real Estate please
tell no one about the details because loose lips sink ships!

BC Hydro wants your
opinion on long-term
clean energy planning
Integrated Resource Plan
preparation includes 12 open
houses throughout B.C. including Kamloops and
Vernon and online participation at www.bchydro.com/irp
Customers and stakeholders are invited to help
shape B.C.’s clean energy
future by sharing their ideas
with BC Hydro. Twelve open
houses at locations around the
province start next week and
continue through until midApril, allowing the public to
provide direct input on the
future of electricity. Those
who are unable to attend the
sessions can submit feedback
online at www.bchydro.com/
irp or by emailing integrated.resource. [email protected].
The customer, First Nations and stakeholder input
will be collected and reviewed by BC Hydro as it
develops its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) – a 20year, high-level outlook at
how to fulfill the province’s
growing electricity demand.
While last week’s capital
plan announcement focused
on BC Hydro’s three-year
infrastructure investments,
the IRP will establish
BC Hydro's long-term plan
for conservation and set its
course for acquiring sufficient generation and transmission resources to reliably
and cost-effectively meet
customers' anticipated future
electricity needs over the
coming decades.
“Seeking input from our
customers, stakeholders and
First Nations is important
because we all have a stake in
the future of electricity and
energy conservation in British Columbia,” said Cam
Matheson, executive director
of Integrated Resource Planning, BC Hydro. “We expect
our customers’ electricity
demand to grow by about 40
per cent over the next 20
years and our core strategy
remains to ‘conserve, build
and buy’. A powerful, longterm vision is essential to our
province’s future and we
want our customers to have
direct input as we plan to
meet the needs for generations to come.”
Members of the public
are invited to attend the open
houses which will include
discussions about potential
resource options including
additional conservation and
efficiency measures, new
clean energy options and additional transmission to deliver new electricity loads to
high-use areas. Other topics
will include electrification –
switching from other fuel
sources to electricity – which
could further increase future
demand for electricity, and
export market potential.
BC Hydro will consider
the input gained through the
current consultation period as
it prepares an initial draft
IRP, and will seek further
public comments on the draft
plan this fall before the IRP is
finalized and submitted to the
Province in early December.
BC Hydro’s Integrated
Resource Plan (IRP) is a 20year plan that describes how
the utility proposes to meet
future growth in demand for
electricity through energy
conservation and clean energy generation. Previous IRPs
can be viewed at:

Letters to the Editor
Update Re: Notice of Complaint
I wrote to the editor last
month complaining because
my property assessment had
been increased by a whopping amount. This letter is
to inform you and your
readers that I have been
successful in having my
property assessment reduced to what I feel is fair
and justifiable.
I would also like to let
you know that the assessor,
Ms. Anita Farrar, was very
fair, competent, and pleasant. What I feared would
be a very confrontational
situation was nothing of the
sort. She was understanding and very easy to talk to
despite the fact that she is in
a very difficult job. I can't
compliment her enough.
Thank you for allowing
me to submit
this.

Economic Development
From Denis Delisle
There is a desire to have agriculture groups have input into an economic development and as well a suggestion
that they be represented as an agricultural committee to the CSRD. They could
then advise the CSRD Board on issues
such as Agriculture Land Reserve
(ALR) applications and other agriculture
issues that arose. Agriculture is one of
the fastest growing industries with the
First Nations; it was suggested they be
invited to participate in an agriculture
committee. Setting up an agricultural
committee and having it become part of
the regional economic plan will take at
least 2 years.
Land Inventory has created a sense
of frustration for the Economic Development officer. The land inventory
needs to show the different types of potential land uses available in the Shuswap. Then, if an industry, agricultural or
arts use (for example) was needed they
could easily be steered to an area that
could support that proposal. There
needs to be a way to pull data from
CSRD files to create the data base for
the land inventory. The Geographic
Information System (GIS) manager is
overworked and does not have the time
to do it. There are some very large projects that are going on in the GIS department that have to be completed before
the land inventory can be dealt with.
One solution is to hire a summer student
for the project; Robyn (ED officer) will
see if this can be arranged. It was suggested that rather than a detailed inventory, a summary be made.
The CSRD Film Commission will
contract out the services for one year to
update the data base of the film commission, and do some scouting for new
filming spots. The proposed contractors
are familiar with the filming business
and already have a direct link to the BC
Film Commission. One of the problems
for filming companies is that they need
storage area for their equipment. Lack
MARCH 2011
of storage for their equipment is a disincentive for filming in the area.
A Correction Facility somewhere
in the Shuswap has some support. There
are some limitations, ease of transportation access (a good airport) being one of
them. There are many places vying for a
facility in their area. The spinoff of
many good steady jobs boosting the
economy and bringing young families to
rural areas are big factors for wanting
the security prison. The North Shuswap
is too far off the beaten track to be a
viable choice.
One thing rural areas have in
common, it is hard to get a steady, wellpaying job. Full or part time, it is hard
to get a job at all! We know it is tough
but this latest statistic brought to the
table by one of the Director shows how
bad it really is. Of all new jobs that
were created in BC, the lower mainland
had 300,000 and in all of rural BC there
were only 1,000. The need for a change
in the Provincial policies to help create
jobs in rural BC, is obvious. Major cities
are not the areas that the province and
the federal government need to build.
More support is needed for job creation
in rural communities.
What rural areas need is better infrastructure such as transportation and
communication (secure stable internet
service). Some of the ideas that were
thrown around at the Shuswap Economic Development meeting were; homeowners grants; a special grant for rural
areas, transit subsidizing, improved airport service, and we as rural areas have
to work harder at attracting business.
There is some help available such as
the Federal government supports businesses wanting to export products out of
the country. In the coming year, TELUS
plans to relook at the 10 year contracts
they have with contractors to bring internet to rural areas. They may find that
the quality and speed of internet service
has not been as good as they would like.
Colin Mayes wanted input as to where
money should be spent in the federal
budget-maybe we should suggest it be
put back in to rural areas.
It was wondered if Southern Interior
Development Initiative Trust (SIDIT)
funds could be used to help kick start
some rural innovation to bring jobs to
the communities. Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust, is a grant
program that provides non-repayable
funding for municipalities, regional districts, First Nations, registered nonprofit societies, institutions, and industry
associations to support regional investments in economic development projects
that will have benefits for the Southern
Interior. Proposals from private interests do not qualify for grants. What
SIDIT wants to see and will support:
 Contribution towards economic sustainability of small communities
 Regional impact
 Realistic measurement criteria established to assess project outputs
 Job creation, job preservation, or enhancement
 Economic diversification
 Leveraging other funds (It is expected
that projects supported by SIDIT will
have a minimum of matching funds
invested by either the project proponent or other parties)
 Filling funding gaps
 Avoiding overlap and duplication
 Economic merit
 Research and Development leading to
commercialization
 Strategic initiatives
 Ensuring geographic sensitivity in the
disbursement of SIDIT funds

Our Pets including horses, do require
health care as much as we do AND because
they are considered a part of our family, we
endeavor to make sure they get the best of
care because we love them.
As a result, this can sometimes be very
costly. Health care for our pets is available
and not as expensive as you would think.
There are many options to choose from.
Mortality coverage can also be important
not only for our pets but livestock as well.
You may need to protect the investment of

~ Kicking our Disconnect ~
Resolution
The only things we ever keep are what we give away Louis Ginsberg
By Diane Rizun
The January Kicker editor's article suggested making
a New Years’ resolution that is
"attainable, personal, and community based", so "the North
Shuswap gets stronger and so
do those who live here". I like
that. My NY resolution is to
share through the Kicker what
I know about holistic health as
it relates to our physical and
spiritual well-being. I enjoyed
writing similar articles while
living at the coast, and, having
recently retired here, wish to
continue sharing with others.
Our health and well-being
responds to our thoughts and
emotions, so we can do much
to improve our health. During
twenty years as an ER RN I
learned that orthodox medicine
did not hold all the answers, so
I spent several years learning
holistic healing methods including ancient knowledge.
This helped my own health,
and in turn, helped many clients through my healing centre
that ran for another twenty
years. I changed my beliefs,
and thus changed my life.
We live in a beautiful area
here, where nature’s wild
bounty can help us get in
touch with the life-force of
healing. I walk in nearby
Shuswap park and listen, just
listen. Breathing fresh air into
my entire being, a gift is received from the kind of energy
here, in comparison to the
busy coast I just left. A blessing for the day is an early walk
in the park as I realize I am
gradually coming into attune-
ment with a slower, heart-felt
pace. Mother Nature’s trees,
animals, lake, snow, air, and
graceful peace help me awaken, and I give gratitude for Her
healing power.
Perhaps I had forgotten
who I was, there amidst
coastal cities’ hustle and bustle, with no pause button.
Here is more real somehow, a
remembering of something
long forgotten, something
many of us have forgotten.
During these changing global
times, where what used to happen in a span of years is now
happening in months, the Indigenous Prophecy of a Spiritual Revolution is worth remembering: we cannot have
world peace and healing until
we have personal peace and
healing, and further, we must
return to Nature for information to help us heal. Nature
beckons us to our upstream,
spiritual source. And spirituality today is a necessity for
peace, healing, and our survival.
We must shed cultural
expectations and start a New
Story, co-creating with Mother
Earth. We are sacred Earth of
this sacred Earth, and in the
wilderness of nature, the
something that has gone out of
us, in our retreat to the cities,
can, perhaps, be returned
Home. We can kick out our
disconnection and get stronger
as a community. I cannot think
of a better place to kick while
resolutioning through the
Kicker.

It is our pleasure to announce that Anglemont Marina
Ltd. has been sold to Mark and Brenda Smith of Red Deer,
Alberta. They have assumed operation of the Marina as of
March 1, 2011. Mark is a long time steam engineer and
Brenda has been the financial coordinator for an orthodontic
office in Red Deer. Both of them are very excited about
moving to the North Shuswap with their two daughters, and
look forward to meeting their customers during the upcoming boating season.
It is with mixed feelings that we retire with our family
to our home in Sorrento after operating the marina for eighteen years. We came here from Ottawa in 1993 and served
the North Shuswap within the Lions Club and First Responders. Our daughters Elisha and Heather grew up in the
community, were instrumental in the success of the business, and will very much miss the many friends they served
while working in the marina’s Burger Bus and Store. Over
the years, we were blessed with excellent staff. We had so
many great times with them that many have become our life
long friends. It gave us the greatest joy to see those young
men and women return many years later with their own
beautiful children. We could not move on without giving
our greatest appreciation to our long time manager, Maggie
Suhan. Her selflessness, dedication and loyalty will never
be forgotten.
Lastly, thank you to our customers. You made our
business and left us with fond memories. There were so
many of you who shared your experiences with us and made
it a joy to serve you. We are happy that we are leaving the
marina in good hands, and confident that Mark and Brenda
have those special qualities to continue the business in a
manner that the community will appreciate and be proud of.
We wish you all a fair wind and following sea, and
hope that our paths will cross again as we enjoy beautiful
Shuswap Lake. Good bye to all of you.
Best Regards,
Gary, Michele, Elisha, & Heather

THE OFFSPRING
by Larissa Lutjen
Are Boys 'Failing to Launch'?
Do you have a son or
nephew who used to be active
and get good grades but now
seems to lack any motivation
to do well in school, get a
job, or even spend time with
his friends? In his book,
"Boys Adrift", Leonard Sax
argues that there is a near
epidemic of this 'failure to
launch' phenomena. According to Sax there are five factors causing boys to be unmotivated, disengaged and underachieving: 1. teaching
methods, 2. video games, 3.
prescription drugs, 4. endocrine disruptors, and 5. a devaluation of masculinity (I
will talk about the first two
this month).
First, he argues that the
heavy focus on literacy in the
first years of school is out of
sync with the brain development of most boys. He writes
that "the language areas of
the brain in many five-yearold boys looks like the language areas of the brain of a
three-and-a-half-year-old
girl". A boy whose brain
development lags a year-anda-half behind fifty percent of
his classmates would likely
start school with a negative
impression. Also, Sax contends that boys learn better
through hands-on exploration
and manipulation of the
world around them whereas
most schooling relies on
learning through listening.
Schools could also help
boys, he suggests, by incorporating a competitive atmosphere to more areas of school
life. Sax believes that team
competition, especially when
the teams are evenly matched
so that the outcome depends
on the teams' effort, is hugely
motivating for many boys.
Many girls, on the other
hand, are uncomfortable competing against their friends
and Sax believes that there
has been a trend towards collaboration and away from
competitiveness in school.
The second factor is video games, especially the socalled 'first person shooter'
games. The hours that boys
would have spent on a skateboard or a basketball court
twenty years ago are now,
largely, spent on video
games. Sax contends that
these games satisfy a craving
for power and control in
young boys that is more difficult to find in other pursuits.
The thrill of the series of
small victories within the
games is addictive and brings
a feeling of achievement. But
there is no question, he
writes, that "the more time
your child spends playing
video games the less likely he
is to do well in school" (63).
Moreover, it has been established, he asserts, that violent
video games lead to antisocial behaviours and the
gamers who play them are
more likely to act aggressively in the real world.
Not all games are equally
dangerous. Games to avoid
are those that involve characters harming each other frequently and games that treat
violence as funny or reward
players for violence. Parents
should not rely on the rating
system, he adds, since some
cartoonish games with 'E'
ratings do not pass the criteria.
It is interesting to consider whether boys have different needs in the classroom
and different vulnerabilities
to media exposure. Next
month I will cover the chemical factors and the societal
demotion of masculinity
which Sax also believes is
leading to malaise in young
males.

I started spring garden
clean up mid March 2010…
what will this spring's start be?
Now, as I write this at the end
of February I wonder will the
ice ever leave so we can walk
like normal two legged beasts
again!
You've possibly been out
pruning dormant trees and
shrubs by now, attending to the
3 D's - dead, damaged and diseased while disentangling
crossing branches and opening
up the entire form to allow
light into the centre. Remember to know when to prune as
each shrub requires different
timing. Those that bloom early
in the season ie: lilacs, bloom
on last year’s growth and
should be pruned after they
flower. Shrubs that flower on
this year's growth should be cut
back before new growth begins. Investigate each before
you pull out the loppers.
So, have you made some
decisions around what you're
going to plant? Maybe think
along the lines of the 3 F's food, flower, fragrance
and....the cost of food is going
up and there are pronouncements of big price increases.
So take control of the budget
and allow some space for produce.
Growing fresh herbs can
be quite a cost saver and add
that extra bonus to your home
cooked meals. The perennial
herbs such as oregano, thyme,
sage, tarragon and lavender are
rewarding plants. These easy
keepers are great incorporated

beds and/or planted out the

age, flowers,
seeds and even
roots can be used in almost
everything from soups, stews
and salads through teas and
cosmetic products.
Herbs may be annual, biennial or perennial. The tender
annuals, cilantro, dill, basil,
marjoram, chervil, summer
savoury...do not withstand frost
and only last for the summer,
unless taken indoors awhile.
Of these cilantro, dill and chervil should be seeded directly in
the garden as they don't transplant. Given succession sowings at 3 week intervals harvests will supply your culinary
needs throughout the season.
Rosemary, a tender perennial
must be brought inside to overwinter. A good reason to plant
in a portable pot along with
parsley and chives for your
winter window garden. Many
perennial herbs can be easily
divided from a larger plant and
within a couple of years you
too can be sharing a clump
with fellow gardeners.
Two herb books I recommend: 'Herbs-the complete
gardener's guide' - Patrick
Lima (great photos) and
'Rodales illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs' - Rodale press
(with history and uses).

GET ON BOARD FOR THE
2011 CHRISTMAS PARADE,
NOW!
By Donna Gallant
I know, I know, nobody
wants to think about Christmas
in March, but I have to get
things going now, because as
you know, come September
and October I am overloaded,
busy setting up for the Spooktacular. One call from you
now would make life so much
easier for me.
It is going to be an evening parade this year, going
from Rona to, possibly,
Creekside. I am looking forward to seeing what guys can
do with a string of lights and a
Christmas tree on their trucks.
If you have a business, what a
great way to advertise, just
decorate your vehicle and
make sure your company name
is on the side or front. Add a
Santa hat and you are set.
Talking about vehicles, do
you have an antique car, big
machines, farm equipment,
snow plows, etc. We want to
hear horns, lots of horns and
sirens. We want lots of excitement. I sure would like to see
a float with dressed up dogs on
it. Dogs who enter must be
sociable. I just know the kiddies would love to see something like this. Can any of you
dog walkers organize such a
float? And horses.... what is a
parade without horses? We
sure would like to see you on
your horse. Add some glitzy
garlands and you are set.
Don't forget to get someone to
pooper scoop. I have a clown
costume they could use.
If you belong to any group
or club, talk to them at the next
meeting and see if they could
possibly put something together. Maybe a Karate Club giving us some kicks, or some
local ballplayers could dig
their uniforms out and show
their "team" spirit. I would
love for the Churches to commit to a float, reminding folks
of the true meaning of Christmas. We could definitely use
some Christmas carollers, of
course.
I will also need traffic control people, with pagers. Parking attendants will also be
needed and someone to set up
the Mr. & Mrs. Santa photo op.
So far on the list to be in
the parade are: Super Valu, St.
David's Church, Dave Edward's Drywall, Monique
Tidswell, Red Sky Hair Studio, The Lebans, Lakeview
Centre.
PLEASE do call and at
least put your name on the list
and say you want to be in the
parade. I do need an idea of
how much interest there
is. Being a very busy person, I
need to get started now!! I just
can't leave everything until
after Spook-tacular. Call Donna Gallant @ 250 955-0791.
75th Anniversary ORL Celebration cont’
special booklists for adults and
children will be available highlighting favourite stories of the
past 75 years. The ORL will
also be kicking off its twoweek “Read Away Fines” program for children, where
young people can lessen any
outstanding fees for overdue
materials by reading over the
Spring Break.
The ORL was formed in
March 1936 and has branches
from Golden south through the
Shuswap and Okanagan Valley
to Osoyoos, and west to
Princeton. These events have
been sponsored by the ORL’s
Friends of the Library groups.

March certainly came in like a lion
but now it is warming up and soon spring
will be here. Up on Eckerman Road, a
man tells me all about the life he sees
around his place - rabbits, deer, Martens ,
the usual small birds, an American Dipper
in his stream and two Quail hens. Another
Lady reported six swans in front of her
place in Anglemont. And the crow lady
tells me that "Russell and Cheryl”
(remember them?) have stayed around all
winter and Russell comes every morning
and sits on the deck waiting for his peanuts. There is a family of crows that live
around her area and she sees them roosting
in the trees close by. Russell is the only
one that actually comes to her deck. She
also has a group of Mallards coming to her
yard. She shakes a pail of wheat and when
they hear the noise, they come running
into her yard where she feeds them. These
and other birds keep her entertained all
winter as do the birds that come entertain
us at to our feeders.
Those mysterious animal prints have
shown up again in a different location this
time - at Celista on the beach. Who
knows, has anyone actually seen this animal? There was one report of a skunk in a
compost at Talana Bay. We saw another
moose at the Dump and a report of two
wolves at the Airport at Squilax. I saw the
pictures of them and they certainly look
like wolves. Has anybody noticed the
trees coming down at the Lakeview Park
in Anglemont? There seems to be a beaver hard at work and sixteen trees have
already been cut down. They are all deciduous trees. This month is the Owl Survey Month so I will be out prowling one
night to try to hear some owls - We do
have a few here - two that I know of - the
Barred Owl and the northern Pygmy Owl. My area extends to Celista so if
you are hearing any owls, please call
me. Our next meeting will be on March
17th at 1:30 PM at the Celista Hall. Come
and bring a friend. Maybe you know of
someone who would like to speak to our
Club. Everyone is welcome. Claudette
Carlsen. 250-955-8148

 The colour scheme was Blue and
White for the Winter Fling party on
February 26. Almost everyone found
something blue to wear and the effect
was lovely. The idea of the party theme
was to “fling winter away” but Mother
Nature had other ideas. Heavy snow in
some areas prevented the band from
coming out to play for the dance. But
“always be prepared Boy Scout”, Bill
McBride loaded up the CD player and
we had fun dancing to Rock ‘n Roll, Big
Band, Line Dance and some Swing music. The menu featured baked ham,
baked beans and scalloped potatoes. The
potluckers outdid themselves providing
a wonderful array of desserts and salads.
Happy Birthday to Ed Elmes who celebrated his 73rd birthday in style. The Ice
Fishing skit featuring Jack Carlsen, Bill
McBride and Barry Tannock gave us
food for thought to be sure. Thanks to
the committee for a fun evening.
 The Country Gardener members are
eager to get busy in their gardens once
again. Here is a schedule of upcoming
events:

March 16, 2011: Sharon from the
Carlin Hill Lavender Farm will be the
Guest Speaker.

April 24, 2011: Kevin Scollon will
speak on Ornamental Grasses

May 18, 2011: Ernie Phillips from
TRU Horticulture Department will
speak on Perennials

June 15, 2011: Wind-up Picnic/Bar B
Que and Plant Exchange. Last meeting for the summer.
 Gold Fever Pig and Whistle rehearsals are in full swing with Judy Weller as
our Director. Judy always brings a special element of fun to everything she
does and we are looking forward to
working with Judy again. Producer, Ann
Chow is busy with all those little details
that make everything run smoothly.
Choreographer, Susan Oster is putting
the Can-Can dancers through their paces
and John Collier’s square dance group is
learning the intricacies of a Square
Through Four. Costumer, Grace
McNabb is out scouring the Thrift shops
from Revelstoke to Kamloops for cos-
tumes. Grace’s energy and enthusiasm
is unparalleled. Music Director, Jo
Groves is cracking the whip to get the
Anglebay Entertainers note and word
perfect before show time. Bill McBride
is our “go to” guy and he is busy with
all kinds of tasks. Ticket sales are brisk
with Matinees being the most popular
choice for those that have to come from
a distance. We have several Red Hat
groups coming and we always enjoy
having them in our audience. So far we
have people coming from Ashcroft,
Revelstoke, Armstrong, Kamloops,
Vernon, Enderby and Salmon Arm. The
May 7th performance is sold out but
there are still tickets available for all
other performances. Please call Lorrie

for tickets. A Big thank you goes out to
SuperValu for handling ticket sales. Val
and the ladies there have done a great
job of looking after us. We are so fortunate to have assembled such a knowledgeable and experienced group to ensure that our Pig and Whistle is again an
outstanding success.
 The February 12th Valentine Community Breakfast was well attended. We
appreciated all the special Valentine’s
Day touches as we enjoyed visiting with
friends and neighbours. It was nice to
see Walt and Betty Proseilo who came
all the way from Salmon Arm for a visit
with everyone. Hope to see everyone at
the March 12th Breakfast.
 Donna Gallant’s Achy Breaky Body
Parts Line Dance Beginner group has
graduated to join the Advanced Group.
Congratulations everyone!! Donna has
chosen Irish Music for us to dance to for
the next month (Faith and Begorrah! St.
Patrick’s Day is coming up don’t you
know!!). While the Muirsheen Durkin
was a tad fast for the Waltz steps we
found that the Tush Push moves are
somewhat strangely Irish.
 The March 26th Party Committee is
working hard to bring us another evening of great food and a fun time. No
details yet on a theme, but I’m betting
that it will be Irish! Watch for Posters.

School News
By Jan Penner
The Division 1 Spring
Bottle Drive date is April
16th. Students will be collecting refundable bottles and
cans on this date and your
contributions will be gratefully accepted. Proceeds will go
towards the Grade 7 year end
trip and other class activities.
If you wish to donate your
recyclables but will not be
available this day, you can
leave them at the Scotch
Creek Bottle Depot. Just let
the staff there know they are
for Division 1 and they will
be happy to take them on the
class' behalf.
February 24th was Pink
Day, where students and staff
donned pink to show support
for a bully free environment,
had lots of participation.
Many who do not have pink
in their wardrobes got creative, wearing hats, scarves,
wigs and even a small t-shirt
worn pinned on. The Leadership students decided to celebrate Spirit Week from the
21st to the 25th, thus Pink
Day was flanked by Hat Day,
Pyjama Day, Cougar Pride
Day (black and red), and
Wacky Hair Day. Thanks to
this group for suggesting
such fun activities to brighten
up what can be a blah time of
year.
Sherry Devins spent
the23rd and 24th at our
school. Ms. Devins is our
district writing specialist and
she conducted poetry workshops with K, 1-2, 2-3-4, and
4-5-6 classes. The lessons
she taught will be extended
by teachers over the next few
weeks. If you are in the
school, you will no doubt be
seeing some examples from
our budding poets.
Wendy Woodhurst, the
Director of Instruction for
District 83 also visited on the
24th. It was a very busy day
at the school and Mrs. Woodhurst visited many of the
classrooms, seeing a wide
variety of activities including
the writing workshops, music
and band classes, intramural
floor hockey, restitution lessons and aboriginal storytelling with guest Launa Rennie.
She thoroughly enjoyed her
day, as it gave her a chance to
interact with children, and we
were very happy to show off
the great things going on at
North Shuswap Elementary.
Division 1 has been
sewing up a storm. Grade 6
and 7 students enrolled in
middle schools in the district
have "Explorations" in their
schedule, where they are exposed to life skills such as
sewing, cooking and woodwork. Mr. Schmidt wanted
his class have this opportunity as well, so he organized
some community members to
offer instruction and guidance
and the students have been
learning how to hand sew.
So far they have each constructed a cloth trivet, a
stuffed bear (which many
have personalized by adding
clothes/hats/etc.) and are currently working on blocks
which will be incorporated
into baby quilts that will be
donated, possibly to Public
Health in Chase.
Education week is March
14th to 18th. One of the
highlights will be the display
of student art work set up in
Picadilly Mall in Salmon
Arm. Be sure to check out
the displays and see some of
the artistic creations being
produced in our schools.
Wednesday, March 16th, selected students will be participating in workshops at the
Mall, a great opportunity for
them to learn new techniques
and a wonderful chance for
the public to see learning in
action.

Timely Truths
North Shuswap
Christian Fellowship
The blind lady replied, ‘No thanks,
but maybe Buddy would like to stretch
his legs.’
Picture this:
All the people in the gate area came
to a complete standstill. When they
looked up and saw the pilot walk off the
plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot
was even wearing sunglasses. People
scattered. They not only tried to change
planes, but they were trying to change
airlines!
The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ
will be the final and fair judge. Are you
prepared to stand before Him?
The following true story helps us
take a hard look at ourselves when it
comes to judging others before we have
all the facts.
A woman was flying from Seattle
to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the
plane was diverted to Sacramento along
the way. The flight attendant explained
that there would be a delay, and if the
passengers wanted to get off the aircraft
the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except
one lady who was blind. The man had
noticed her as he walked by and could
tell the lady was blind because her
Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath
the seats in front of her throughout the
entire flight.
He could also tell she had flown
this very flight before because the pilot
approached her, and calling her by
name, said, ‘Kathy, we are in
Sacramento for almost an hour. Would
you like to get off and stretch your
legs?’

In loving memory of our best friend
Ahne Louise Rich Murray, born August 7, 1956 in Williams Lake – Feb 11, 2011
It is with utter shock, regret and sadness that we announce that our ray of sunshine, AHNE, left us
unexpectedly and peacefully in her sleep on Friday February 11, 2011.
She is survived by her soul mate and adoring husband Robert Murray, her affectionate and devoted son, Nigel
Blackhall (Renae), her loving parents June (Norm) Cridland, Fred (Caryn) Rich, her sisters Iris (Carl) Rich,
Sage Rich, Trina (Bob) Cross, her brother Darral Rich, her in-laws, Tom (Doreen) Murray, sister-in-law
Shirley-Ann (Brent) Wolfe, brother-in-law Don McQuay, Nigel’s father Charles Blackhall (Kerry) and sister
Deki, Uncle Ken Blackhall (Penny)-Aubrey, Julian. Nieces - Codie (Brad) McQuay, Randie Cross, nephews Colter McQuay, Mason Cross, Jason (Aki)- Hanako, Kaisei, Logan- Joseph, Sydney. Adopted mother to –
Austin, Aaron, Peter, Mike, Davis, Cory, Dave, Morgan, Russ, Amy, Erin. Predeceased by infant brother Robert
Rich and infant nephew Chanse McQuay.
Ahne was a vibrant, powerful human being and a most amazing, beautiful woman, mother, wife, sister and
auntie. She had lived her dream with her son Nigel and over the past 2 months, in Nicaragua on the land they
had bought, she personally designed and built her red brick path, now named Ahne’s Path (see at
www.seecjam.blogspot.com)
Ahne met the love of her life, Bobbie, when she was 18, but it took years of friendship before they sealed
their everlasting love for each other in 1993. They were each
other’s rock; they engaged life to the fullest, travelling to
Hawaii and Mexico. Ahne loved the wind blowing through
her hair and the sun on her face. They boated the Shuswap,
rode a Harley to Saskatchewan, and snowmobiled on
Crowfoot. Bob took care of his princess, building her a castle
overlooking the Shuswap Lake and successfully nurturing
her to health through a long term illness over these past few
years.
Ahne was adventuresome and held many professions over
her lifetime. She worked in the hospitality industry all over the continent- from Key West to Victoria,
for 25 years. As a gourmet chef and caterer she operated the cafeteria of the Okanagan University in
Salmon Arm for 5 years. She was a brilliant bartender inventing numerous concoctions in her many
years working at Copper Island Pub and Finz Bar and Grill in the Shuswap. Her kitchen always
provided meals extraordinaire for any visitors – family or friends. She was the “Hostess with the Mostest” always planning events to gather her
friends together and to celebrate those she loved; birthdays (always a party for her men), beach parties, Halloweens’, July Firsts and fund raisers for
community members. She was active in the local Lions Club, Community Hall, and sports teams.
Ahne was a multi-talented artist, actress, dancer and gardener. She engaged in the crafts of: silversmithingmaking beautiful jewellery for family and friends, floral design-lending her expertise to many a friends’
weddings, celebrations and gatherings. She was an export/import entrepreneur-importing from Mexico and
South-east Asia and you could often see her wares at folk festivals, markets or at her shop in Scotch Creek. The
great outdoors was her passion, loving the sun, the heat, the animals and all that nature provided.
Ahne was a feisty soul whose tender spirit touched all she met. She fought a long battle with health issues and
her courage and fortitude gave her strength to fight the challenges set before her. Ahne was an inspiration to
many. When she came into this world, it was to live her life out loud. Her style was gregarious and her own. She
was a Lioness Mother! Raising her wonderful son, Nigel, was the joy of her life. She always had extra love to look
after all the stray “cubs” he brought home. Ahne gave life to any party with her infectious smile and humorous
comments. Her heart belonged to many; always generous, kind, understanding and there for all of us, sharing the
wisdom she carried within her heart.
“She was a “KOOK” but she was our “KOOK”
A celebration of her life will be Ahne’s Farewell Social to be held March 19, 2011,
the first day of spring, at the Celista Community Hall from 2 'til.... please bring
your favourite photographs of Ahne to be placed in her memorial album.
“I will always be..... as long as someone thinks of me”

DAVID DALE BECKER
JANUARY 27, 1974 –
FEBRUARY 28, 2011
David and Dennis shared
many hair raising adventures when
they were growing up – a fact that
caused Betty more than one sleepless night.
David was born in Kamloops
and although he lived his entire life
in the Shuswap region he was gifted
with the ability to make friends
wherever he went.
David worked for Mattey Bros.
as a feller-buncher operator, however he excelled at operating any
piece of equipment. Logging company representatives from as far
away as Russia came to observe his
work .
David’s passing has left an
enormous sense of loss in the lives
of all those who knew and loved
him. He was an amazing young
man who lived life to the fullest – in
retrospect a gift to us all.
Thank you to everyone who
assisted David in his hour of need.

It is with heartfelt sadness that
we announce the passing of our
beloved son David Dale Becker near
Chase, B.C. on Monday, February
28, 2011 as the result of a tragic
accident.
A celebration of David’s life was
held at the Chase Community Hall on
Saturday, March 5.
David was predeceased by his
grandparents: Dot Becker and David
and Mollie (Mary) Dalgarno. He is
survived by his grandfather Clarence
Becker, wife Cindy Kenoras, son
Cyrus, step-son Ryan, parents Dale
& Betty Becker, brother Dennis
(Melissa), niece Alyssa, nephews
Dyson and Brady; numerous aunts,
uncles, cousins and many friends.
David and Cindy loved the
outdoors; he loved hunting and
fishing with his family and
friends. David was an optimist and
had a lifetime theme of seeking
excitement through taking risks and
living life on the edge. He loved his
guns, his fishing rods, his snowmobiles, quads, bikes, boats, etc. The
greatest loves in his life were Cindy
Ryan and Cyrus. David was a loving
father, brother and son.
Dale and David had an even
stronger relationship than that of
father and son – they were best
friends who worked together in the
bush, and went on regular hunting
and fishing trips together then spent
untold hours discussing the adventures and mishaps encountered on
each.
