Although the Neskonlith Indian Band held an election of chief and council in January, another election is in the offing.

Electoral officer Bruce Mack

posted notice that an election will be held on Thursday, July 30 for chief and four councillors.

Coun. Louis Thomas, who was acclaimed as councillor for Salmon Arm in the January election, will retain his seat on council because, as the lone candidate, there was no

election for his position. A nomination meeting was held

on Tuesday, June 9 in Neskonlith Hall in Chase, where unofficial re-sults show three people were nomi-nated as candidates for chief and 10 for the four council positions.

Mack told the Market News there

was an appeal of the election which was upheld by an adjudicator.

“There certainly wasn’t any in-appropriate behaviour or action on the part of any candidate,” Mack explained.

Mack said in the Neskonlith election code, a person is in-eligible to run for band council if they have any outstanding debts to the band. However, for administrative rea-sons, Mack said, that was waived for the last election.

Someone then ap-

pealed on the basis that it was a breach of the code, he said, and the adjudicator agreed.

Unofficial nomina-tion results show that vying for the chief’s position, now filled by Chief Judy Wilson who was elected in January for her third term, are Wilson, Janice Billy and Randy Narcisse.

Narcisse ran for chief in the last elec-

tion but Billy did not. Bonnie Thomas ran for the chief’s position in the January election, placing second, but she did not put her name forward this time.

Nine candidates competed for the five council spots in Janu-ary.

Along with Louis Thomas, three incum-bents were elected – Art Anthony, Karen

R. August and Joan Manuel-Hooper – as well as newcomer Fay Ginther.

This time, the 10 people nominated (un-officially) for the four open positions are the four candidates elect-ed last time, as well as: Margaret Denault, Frank Denault, Randy Sam, Jennifer Dick, Renee Narcisse and Dwayne Manuel.

The Salmon Arm RCMP Detachment will be headed by the current top cop in Si-camous, come the end of this month.

Sgt. Andrew Hunter, who has been filling two roles as acting detach-ment commander and operations commander, introduced a new face to Salmon Arm council

at its June 8 meeting. Sgt. Scott West is

leaving the Sicamous detachment and will be taking over as Salmon Arm’s new detachment commander, tentatively on June 22.

West said he’s had diverse experience in his career, which has in-cluded nearby postings in Kelowna and Kam-

loops as well as farther north.

He said it’s key to quickly identify who’s carrying out crimes and to deal with them as speedily as possible.

Central to his philos-ophy is listening to the community.

“What’s important to them is important to me,” he said. “That’s

my philosophy.”West said he and his

spouse and two children live in Salmon Arm, where he’s been drawn in to coaching and ref-eree roles.

Once West takes over as detachment com-mander, Hunter will be devoting all his time to his job as operations commander.

Highway design ‘not finalized’Salmon River Bridge: Minister promises input will be considered.

Design of the four-laning of the Trans-Canada Highway and replacement of the Salmon River Bridge is not a done deal.

NDP MLA Claire Trevena, Opposition critic for the Min-istry of Transportation and In-frastructure, was looking for timelines and costs during the recent provincial government budget estimates.

She was given the oppor-tunity to ask Minister Todd Stone questions about the Trans-Canada Highway, ones that included the Shuswap.

Trevena told Stone that when she visited Salmon Arm in April the concern arose that the consultation process re-garding plans for the west end of town was completely inad-equate.

Stone said there have been two rounds of public engage-ment.

“One was 2012, which was the broader Trans-Canada Highway engagement seeking public input on what the next round of priorities should be for the highway. In 2014 we did the second round of en-gagement, which was the B.C.

on the Move engagement pro-cess. We were able to further refine, from the perspective of the public’s input, what the projects leading up to Salmon Arm from the western ap-proaches should look like.

“This project is in the early design stage. There have been a number of dis-cussions and meetings with a wide array of stakeholders. A number of dis-cussions have been held with First Nations in the area, I believe Adams Lake and Neskonlith, as well as with the city of Salmon Arm and a number of busi-nesses.

“Initially very, very pre-liminary designs, which were shared with all of the above in different interactions, resulted in a great deal of feedback. In fact, there were concerns – expressed from First Nations, local government and, particu-larly, businesses in the area – relating to access. There were also concerns conveyed with respect to the bridge alignment

and whether or not flooding would be properly mitigated as part of the design of the proj-ect,” Stone continued.

“As we do with every high-way project, we will continue to engage very, very closely with First Nations, local gov-ernment and, indeed, busi-

nesses impacted by this particular project and who have an interest in the project.”

Trevena asked Stone if the design is finalized.

“The design for this particu-lar section is not complete. It isn’t finalized,” Stone said. “There will

still be ample opportunities for local governments, First Na-tions and businesses to offer their input into this particular section of the Trans-Canada Highway. In fact, we have a public open house scheduled for later this spring. Everyone will be invited to come out and look at some potential align-ments and offer their feedback, all of which will be taken into account as we continue to re-fine this particular project.”

She also asked for specif-ics on timelines and costs for four-laning the Trans-Canada Highway.

“So $10-million per kilo-metre – can the minister give a dollar figure for the four-lan-ing? And can he give a timeline for when this four-laning will happen? We’ve had the bill-boards up since 2009…”

Stone said the estimate to complete the four-laning from where it stops, in the Pritchard area, to the Alberta border is about $6 billion, but he didn’t provide a time line.

He said projects the ministry is doing in the Shuswap in-clude: design work on Salmon Arm West; work at Hoffman’s Bluff; and design work on the two sections that would go from Hoffman’s Bluff up to Jade Mountain, just east of Chase.

“Part of the consideration moving forward is that the federal government, in terms of Build Canada funding and their willingness to partner on projects, don’t tend to like the province to get too far out in front of them in terms of an-nouncing projects before fund-ing has been approved,” Stone said.

Forty years is a long time to be away from a classroom. For Splatsin Nation spiritual helper and elder Edna Felix it proved to be the opportunity to change her life’s course.

After her husband passed away, Felix found herself strug-gling to balance working odd jobs with the responsibilities of caring for her four children and two foster children (who are also her grandsons). Finding it diffi-cult to secure work with only a Grade 8 education, Felix turned to social assistance. She credits a social worker who mentioned the Stepping Forward program offered at Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm campus for broad-ening her horizon and leading her to gainful employment.

“I was nervous heading into the program but through learning I understood that my life experi-ence in and of itself had been an education,” says Felix. “The pro-gram teaches essential skills for the work place, and also valuable life skills, including goal setting. I realized I already had many of these skills, but simply needed to hone them.”

Within the classroom, Fe-lix took a role in mentoring the younger students, her peers. For an essay assignment she wrote about the history of the Shuswap people, her husband, and the land, culture and her family tree.

The 21-week Stepping For-ward program, offered through the Continuing Studies depart-ment at the college, provides pre-employment skills and es-sential skills training, as well as adult basic education upgrading. It incorporates traditional First Nations heritage teachings and culture through aboriginal work history, medicine wheel, and drumming workshops.

According to Felix, the quali-fications and certifications (in-cluding FoodSafe, First Aid, and Camp Cook) she received during

the program were crucial to her finding employment. She is cur-rently employed as a dishwasher and prep cook at the Wicked Spoon in Salmon Arm.

Felix has set a long-term goal of opening and managing an elders’ home. She has already applied to Okanagan College’s Health Care Assistant program and is building her work experi-ence to encompass all aspects of owning a care facility, including as a cook and janitor.

“If I am to be a supervisor, I need to know what needs to be done and how to do it so that I can say I understand the roles of the job.”

The Stepping Forward pro-gram offered at Okanagan Col-lege was developed in co-ordi-nation with First Nation partners to provide a well-rounded edu-cation program for aboriginal learners experiencing barriers to employment, including lack of high school graduation, work and life skills training.

Felix’s class included 24 stu-dents from a combination of the Neskonlith Band, Adams Lake Band, Little Shuswap Lake Band, and Splatsin Nation. All 24 graduated in March. Funding for the program has been provid-ed through the Canada-British

Columbia Job Fund Agreement. The Ministry of Advanced Edu-cation supported the program with funds from the Aboriginal Community Based Delivery Partnership Program. Participat-ing students pay no fees.

“This program truly is trans-formative and benefits such a diverse array of students,” says Caroline Chartier, aboriginal transition planner at Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm campus. “Some have been through resi-dential schools, some not, some are mature students, others still in their late teens.

Chartier says that while some students initially arrive appre-hensive about the idea of school and education, the program cre-ates a safe place to learn, and affords them the opportunity to experience and belong to the col-lege community. In some cases, it has inspired the students to consider higher education be-yond the program.

“We are very proud of these students. Some are gainfully em-ployed, others are pursuing fur-ther education, and a handful are in the process of job interviews. They are now better equipped to be able to support themselves and earn steady income,” says Chartier.

Program inspires aboriginal learner

Hand-held shaden Two women share a conversation under the shade of umbrellas on Ross Street Plaza. Temperatures this past week broke some of the previous high temperature marks set in 1908.


There is growing de-mand to enhance tran-sit service for Enderby residents.

City council voted to ask the Regional Dis-trict of North Okana-gan to lobby B.C. Tran-sit to consider adjusting the service level for the route between Enderby and Salmon Arm.

“Three-quarters of our social services are in Salmon Arm and one-quarter are in Ver-non but all of our tran-sit goes to Vernon,” said Mayor Greg Mc-Cune.

Currently, there are four bus trips daily

to Vernon weekdays, while the bus only goes to Salmon Arm first thing Wednesday morning and returns late afternoon that same day.

Because there aren’t multiple return trips Wednesday, residents can be stranded in Salmon Arm for hours.

“If you are heading up there to hand in your Employment Insurance card, it’s inconvenient,” said McCune.

Concerns about tran-sit were raised during a recent meeting be-tween the city and pro-viders of community services.

“The limited avail-

ability of public transit poses an access barrier for many residents,” said Tate Bengtson, Enderby’s chief ad-ministrative officer, in a report.

B.C. Transit is being urged to provide a cost estimate and ridership expectations for the various frequencies of service.

“Everyone sees the need and I’m not sure if cost is a factor because the need is so great,” said McCune.

Beyond social ser-vices, many Enderby residents travel to Salmon Arm for shop-ping, work and medical appointments.

Swan Lake pans electoral change

The B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commis-sion has been told to back off changes in Greater Vernon.

Eric Foster, Vernon-Monashee MLA, told the commission Wednesday that he doesn’t support a plan to remove the Swan Lake area and a portion of the BX from Vernon-Monashee and put it in the Shuswap constitu-ency.

“People in the BX-Swan Lake corridor are part of the Greater Ver-non area and they have no connection to Salm-on Arm,” said Foster.

Foster says he’s con-cerned Swan Lake/BX residents will have a dif-ficult time receiving as-sistance if their MLA is based in a Salmon Arm office. The proposed electoral area district boundary would follow the Vernon municipal boundary around Swan Lake and Silver Star

Foothills to the Spall-umcheen boundary.

Foster has discussed the boundary issue with Greg Kyllo, current MLA for Shuswap.

“He already has a huge riding and to add more on to his geo-graphical plate would be difficult,” said Foster.

The commission is reviewing input from the public and MLAs on its proposals and a final report will be pre-sented to the Legisla-ture Sept. 25.

For as long as man and beast have wondered the mountains and valleys of the western part of this con-tinent, the grizzly bear has been head honcho, numero uno, lord of its domain, top of the food chain as it were. Feared and respected by all, not much gets in their way – not much that gets to live and tell about it afterwards.

Going back to the earliest of times, First Nations peo-ple have told stories about grizzly bears that have been passed on in their myths and legends. More than one modern day book has been written about grizzlies (Ur-sus arctos horribilis) and close encounters with this powerful, intelligent and sometimes unpredictable creature of the wild.

Grizzlies, which are ac-tually a sub-species of the brown bear, once lived throughout much of west-ern North America and even roamed the Great Plains. However, European settle-ment eliminated much of its range and today only an estimated 20,000 of these magnificent creatures still roam the wilds of Canada –

many protected within the boundaries of our national park system.

Did I ever tell you about the time I got chased up a tree by a grizzly?

I was walking through the prettiest little alpine meadow you ever saw – all laid out in waves of soft purple, pink and pale yel-low flowers and minding my own business, when all of a sudden, a grizzly pops its head up out of the tall grass not a hundred feet in front of me. I don’t know who was more surprised, but I decided not to hang around and chat. I headed for the nearest tree, with that old bear hard on my heels. I could feel its foul

smelling breath on me as I ran. I could hear it crushing everything underfoot in its wake as it charged after me.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought I remembered that grizzly bears can’t climb up trees very well – because of their size and weight. All I knew as I ran was that I hoped the theory was true.

I’d just made it up the tree to safety, when that old bear starts to shake the tree for all it was worth, try-ing to shake me down. It’s amazing how fear can give a body strength. I hung on with all the strength and perseverance I could mus-ter. The harder he shook, the harder I hung on, and in the end, well, that bear just sort of hunkered down at the base of the tree, looking up. I guess he was figuring on waiting me out, while I hung on for dear life look-ing down into its cold, hun-gry eyes.

Anyway, that bear and I spent the next three days and nights trying to out-stare each other.

On the morning of the fourth day, just when I was

starting to get worried that my days on this earth might be numbered, the bear up and starts heading off to-wards a nearby stream. I figured this was my chance to get away, so I waited a minute, just to be sure, and then started making my way down the tree.

I was not even halfway down when that bear came back with a live beaver in its mouth. He set the bea-ver down and sure enough it starts to gnaw away at the bottom of the tree. I couldn’t help but feel that all of nature was conspiring against me. It would only be a matter of time before I’d be a goner.

Now if you want to find out how I managed to get myself away from that old grizzly, you will have to come out to Fort Steel Heritage Town, near Cran-brook, where I am going to be storyteller in residence over the summer months through to the end of Sep-tember.

I might even tell you the story about the fish that used to follow me around like a puppy dog.

OPINION

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

Tall grizzly tale from a storyteller

We’ve got the report from the Truth and Rec-onciliation commission now, but what happens from here?

Seven years ago, Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued a formal apology for the residen-tial school system and the Truth and Reconcili-ation commission began its work. The resulting report is damning, including an accusation that Canada was committing cultural genocide. The report also made it clear this wasn’t a problem of the distant past, but a very real issue still af-fecting First Nations people today.

After all, as the report points out, the gov-ernment compelled aboriginal parents to give up their children until the late ’60s, tearing an estimated 150,000 children out of their homes to send them to schools where they were taught their culture, their language and their very iden-tity was worthless.

The consequences still echo down through the generations. That’s not an easy thing to bear, even for the collective conscience of a country. But is the issuing of this report going to change anything?

Since Harper’s apology on behalf of Canada, change has been slow. Over the last five years, the Department of Indian Affairs has held back $1 billion in spending that should have been targeted at social services. We can hope that the government will act on the 94 recommendations in the report, especially those aimed at breaking down the barriers of prejudice, and the lack of resources in schools, hospitals and prisons.

But even if the federal government fails to act, we can, and should, continue to work at the lo-cal level building relationships and agreements between our communities for the benefit of all.

SUMMERSALE A BRATION

Food poisoning epi-sodes are something we remember.

Unfortunately, my most memorable event was my own fault. I bought fresh kidney beans at a market in Malawi. Returning to my home, I left them in a plastic bag out in the sun. The next day, the humidity and conden-sation had caused the beans to sprout. Hav-ing eaten many other “bean sprouts” in the past, I decided to give them a try.

Their flavour was not memorable, but their effect was – that evening, every food I had eaten in the last

seven days was ex-pelled from my body.

Later, research led me to discover that kidney bean sprouts contain a toxin called lectin. My food-borne illness was likely caused by the toxic substance in the bean itself, rather than the way I had stored the food.

In Canada, it is es-timated that there are about four million cas-es of food-borne illness every year.

With summer here, picnics and barbecues provide ideal opportu-nities. Warm environ-ments are the preferred breeding place for most microorganisms, and in food safety, we refer to temperatures between five and 60 degrees Celsius “the Danger Zone.” These are the temperatures where bacteria can multiply most readily. Luckily, most food-borne illness can be prevented by taking measures to prepare

and store your food safely. This summer when you are handling food, keep the follow-ing tips in mind, to de-crease your chance of getting sick:

• Wash your hands – hands provide an easy way for micro-organ-isms to travel from one place to another.

• Separate raw foods from cooked foods. Use separate cutting boards and knives for handling raw foods.

• Cook thoroughly – make sure the juices of poultry and meat run clear, not pink. Heat soups and stews to 70C (almost boiling).

• Keep foods at safe temperatures – hot food should stay hot and cold food cold. Do not keep cooked food at room tempera-ture for more than two hours. Hold food be-low 5C (refrigerator temperature) or above 60 degrees (a low sim-mer).

• Use safe water and raw materials. Wash

raw fruits and veg-etables and do not use food beyond its expiry date.

•. Be careful sprout-ing your own beans! Many beans are toxic when sprouted.

Bob........... Is old, really old. Looking at him he would appear to have had a pretty rough life. It’s likely his mousing days are over and so he has spent the last part of his life sneaking food from bowls around the neighborhood. Bob had some pretty nasty wounds from being bitten and scratched but he is mostly healed up now. Bob sleeps a lot but he loves his canned food and some scratches on the back of his neck when he’s up and about. The kind of home that Bob needs is a quieter home where he can be indoors is ideal and with other friendly cats is � ne. If Bob pulls at your heart strings like he did at ours how about coming in to meet him? He wont be a long term commitment but we’d love to see him have a home of his own for the last chapter of his life.

Getting nimble for annual festivalThe NimbleFingers

Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Work-shops and festival won’t take place until the middle of August but organizers are al-ready well into prepa-rations for the work-shops that run from Aug. 16 to 21 and 23 to 28 at Sorrento Centre.

Registration is ongo-ing at www.nimblefin-gers.ca, where would-be vendors may also apply for a spot at the one-day festival, which takes place Saturday Aug. 22.

Now in our 26th year, NimbleFingers provides a fun, friend-ly and noncompetitive environment for every-one from beginners to advanced players, with ample opportunity for

group learning, elec-tives, organized jam sessions, and tons of other creative activi-ties.

There are student concerts, band scram-bles, instructor con-

certs, campground picking sessions, host-ed jams and old-time dances.

Many regulars main-tain that the summer music workshop is what they look forward

to the most each year. Organizers offer

two separate weeks of workshops and many attendees stay for both. It’s a chance to connect with the musical com-munity, learn some-thing new and have a great time!

This year’s world-class instructors and performers include: Old Man Luedecke, John Reischman, Chris Coole, Anne Louise Genest, Cahalen Mor-rison and Eli West, as well as the members of the bands Jeff Scrog-gins and Colorado, The Canotes, New Reel-time Travellers,The Lonesome Ace String-band, and many more.

Workshops are of-fered in both bluegrass and old-time styles of

banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass, lead and harmony singing, and ballad singing.

And for those who need to burn off some more energy, organiz-ers will be offering a flatfoot dancing class this year.

For more informa-tion, to register or to apply for a vendors permit, visit www.nim-blefingers.ca.

This Saturday, hun-derds of people will lace up their shoes and walk the track at Elk’s Park to honour those who have cancer and remember those who have died.

For the first time in its 12-year history in Salmon Arm, Relay For Life will be held from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

“We’re hoping more of the general public will drop in during the day,” says Jen Dies, re-lay co-ordinator.

Dies says the plan-ning committee has done an outstanding job organizing activities that focus on health and wellness.

The new Fitness with Local Super Heroes will include piyo, yoga, pilates, general fitness, reflexology, massage, reiki shiatsu, acupres-sure and skin analysis.

Relay starts with a victory lap for survivors and caregivers.

“For the second year

in a row, we are not go-ing to release balloons,” says Dies. “They will be clumped together and visible as a reminder of why we are there.”

Invitations in the form of large tickets were sent to 150 cancer survivors.

Food and refresh-ments will be available and musical entertain-ment will help walkers step it up throughout the day, thanks to several local artists.

At 8:30 in the eve-ning, the luminary cer-emony will begin.

Luminaries are placed in memory of people who have died from cancer and in hon-our of those who are living with the disease. Each team has their own spot on the track so the luminaries are with their families, friends and teammates.

“The luminary cer-emony is incredibly important,” Dies says. “Relay is like a block-buster movie – it makes you laugh, it makes you

cry and it gives you hope. And all of that is summed up in the lumi-nary ceremony.”

Dies asks that people take a donation of a canned good to anchor the luminaries and to be

delivered to the Salva-tion Army Food bank.

Closing ceremonies with prizes for the high-est fundraisers and the announcement of the total funds raised will begin at 10:30 p.m.

A relay of life and hope

n Relay For Life co-ordinator Jen Dies is hop-ing members of the public will drop in at the Re-lay For Life at Elk’s Park on Saturday.

Groups unite to purchase rail landsThree organizations

have banded together in an effort to turn the old rail line from Si-camous to an area four kilometres south of Enderby into a recre-ational trail.

The Splatsin First Nation, Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), and the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) have ap-proved a memorandum of understanding re-garding pursuit of the

acquisition of the Ca-nadian Pacific-owned Okanagan Shuswap Railway.

This will be the foundation for collabo-ration for the proposed acquisition of the Okanagan Shuswap railway.

Chief Wayne Chris-tian says the memoran-dum of understanding and the opportunity to work together in pur-suing the Okanagan Shuswap Railway will promote communica-

tion and strengthen relationships between their respective com-munities and residents.

“We need to work together to invest in the region for all our peo-ple and our collective future,” he says.

CSRD Board Chair Rhona Martin said she, too, is excited about the partnership.

“This is a big step forward and I very much look forward to working with Splatsin and RDNO as this ini-

tiative is explored,” she said. “I hope this is the beginning of a long and successful working re-lationship between our communities.”

Splatsin noted the community had suc-cessfully negotiated with CP Rail to acquire 11.7 hectares of the discontinued railway corridor between Si-camous and Armstrong in 2014. This includes a 1.5-km section south of Sicamous along the shores of Mara Lake.

Spreading the word about the Shuswap’s role as an agriculture producer is central to a request for proposals the Columbia Shuswap Regional District has issued.

The RFP published on June 2, entitled ‘Agriculture brand and marketing for the Shuswap,’ states the regional district is in-viting proposals from qualified consultants “to develop a co-ordi-nated marketing ap-proach for Shuswap agriculture products and to provide educa-tion for communities in the Shuswap and beyond as to how im-portant the agriculture industry is to the long-term sustainability of our communities.”

It notes the project was identified as one

of the top priorities in the 2014 Shuswap Ag-riculture Strategy to

enable the agriculture industry in the region to grow and prosper.

The deadline for pro-posals is June 26.

The North Shuswap, like many other areas of the Shuswap, has seen major changes since settlement, as the economic base has shifted from agricul-ture to forestry to tour-ism and retirement. At its gateway is the small community of Lee Creek, which is known best for Roderick Haig-Brown Park and the Adams River salmon run. Since its one-room school closed in 1954, the population of Lee Creek languished un-til a few small subdi-visions were built in the 1970s. Now that Lee Creek is officially a secondary settle-ment, it may continue to grow as a summer destination primarily with new recreational vehicle lots and homes.

The number of out-door enthusiasts who visit Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park continues to increase each year. The park’s extensive network of trails is ideal for hik-ing, biking, wildlife viewing, and in the winter, snowshoeing and cross-country ski-ing. One key scenic feature is the Adams River Gorge, which

is also a favourite for kayakers and rafters.

If you pay attention to the sign at the bridge over Corning Creek, you will see the name Lee Creek is in paren-thesis, as the creek has both an official name and a commonly used name. Back in March 1886, the Kamloops Sentinel reported on the Scotch Creek Stab-bing Case, in which after heavy drinking, and an argument, Billy Lee was stabbed seven times by his partner Charles Arbbuckle. A later news item report-ed that he had recov-ered and that is when he likely built his cabin near the creek where he panned for gold and did some trapping. No other information about Lee is available, other than he was Brit-ish, but the remains of his cabin are still there, rotting into the ground.

When the first per-manent settlers began arriving in 1906, they named their communi-ty Lee Creek after Billy Lee who had lived there until likely 1894, the year of the big flood. Ray Corning arrived in 1913 with his wife and young son and after at-tempting to homestead they moved to Salmon Arm where he worked as a highway engi-neer. The creek was renamed after Corning in the 1940s when the first road and bridge were built. Lee Creek’s first permanent home-steader, Oliver Free-man, utilized the creek for irrigation and to

power his sawmill.The 2011 census

shows approximately 375 permanent resi-dents of Lee Creek, al-though some may head south in the winter. The population increases substantially during the summer months when the seasonal residents return to their summer homes and recreational dwellings. The com-munity includes a mix of typical sized lots, recreational lots, small acreages, and some tenants-in-common acreages, including one with its own com-munity centre.

Although it is pri-marily a bedroom com-munity, Lee Creek also has an industrial area that is primarily locat-ed on the western edge of community where it does not disturb lo-cal residents. The large gravel pit and cement plant services many nearby communities and when combined with the electrical and plumbing contracting service, these indus-tries provide a major source of local jobs. Close to the centre of the community is a log dump, where timber from nearby logging operations is stored on the water and then moved via a tugboat to Canoe in large log booms.

Lee Creek made the national news when the protest against a proposed village and marina near the mouth of the Adams River was successful and the regional district denied

the permits. Develop-ment there is now lim-ited to seasonal lots and was redesigned to protect environmental values and improve fish habitat. As well, the public now has ac-cess to one of the best beaches on Shuswap Lake.

Few people are aware of the amazing potential hiking trails at Lee Creek, atop the bluffs overlooking the lake, along Corning Creek to a waterfall, and along the ridge of the canyon above the creek to the power line. The trails offer scenes of fire scarred old growth fir and pine trees, wildflowers in the spring, amazing vistas of the lakes, and a rapid transition from a dry hillside to a moist canyon with cedar and hemlock. Even more incredible is that few people, if any, have ever ventured up the canyon above the wa-terfall, in what is now protected riparian and old growth forest.

There are plans to build a firehall in Lee Creek on a lot adja-cent to the creek and the highway. It may include a small hall, which will give the community a place to come together again as they did in the one room schoolhouse dur-ing the early years and at a hall that was part of the old Cottonwood Campground. There is a special place in my heart for Lee Creek, as I have lived there since 1969.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District electoral area directors dug into their grant-in-aid funds to help get Everything Shuswap to press.

“We don’t have a general budget for this but the area directors have stepped forward and I have found $2,000 out of general funds,” said finan-cial services manager Jodi Kooistra at the May 21 board meeting in Salmon Arm.

Area C South Shuswap will provide $2,000, Area D Falkland/Salmon Valley/Ranchero $250, Area E Rural Sicamous $250 and Area F North Shuswap $1,500.

Based on 10 years worth of columns that have appeared in the Shuswap Market News, Every-thing Shuswap is an educational tool that has been approved for use by School District #83.

Along with a tour of the amazing watershed, the first volume delves into the geology and ecology of the area, followed by a look at the Secwepemc First Nation and the history of settlement.

“I read the book and it is amazing,” Mayor Nan-cy Cooper told directors.

“I support this too,” said Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan. “Jim is a constituent of mine and I know this will be good for tourism and economics.”

(NC) Picture this: you’ve just come home from an outdoor adventure, per-haps after fishing, or hik-ing through the forest with your pet, or camping with your family. You’ve finished unloading your gear and have settled in for a nice quiet evening. You notice a bump or freckle on your leg but think nothing of it – you’re sure it was there before. What you don’t real-ize about that small speck is that it is actually a tick that’s just hitched a ride into your habitat.

If you’re an outdoor en-thusiast, you may be at a greater risk for tick bites – and certain ticks can cause Lyme disease. They’re very small, about the size of a poppy seed, and their bites are usually painless, so you may not know you have been bitten.

One of the easiest ways to protect yourself is to pre-vent tick bites when engag-ing in outdoor activities. Use insect repellent with DEET or Icaridin, wear

closed-toe shoes, long-sleeved shirts and pants and wear light-coloured clothes to spot ticks easier.

Another way to protect yourself is to remove a tick from your body before it has

a chance to transmit Lyme disease. Removing ticks within 24 to 36 hours usu-ally prevents infection.

Ticks can attach any-where, but they like certain spots. After you have been outdoors, make it a habit to ‘tick check’ these areas:

• inside and behind the ears

• along your hairline• in your hair• armpits• belly button• groin area• on your legs• behind your knees

• between your toesTo help your tick check:

• Shower or bathe within two hours of being out-doors. This will wash away loose ticks and help you to find ticks that may be attached to you.

• Don’t forget to exam-ine your kids, pets and

even your gear. Ticks can enter your home on clothing and animals and attach to a person later.

• Put your clothes in the hot dryer to kill any remaining ticks. Give them a good wash and pop them in the dryer one final time.

Tip: Use a hand-held or full length mirror to check the back of your body or have someone else check it.

If you find an attached tick, carefully remove it with a pair of tweezers. Monitor your symptoms, and if you feel ill in the weeks after a tick bite, contact your doc-tor right away.

Next time you venture outdoors don’t forget to keep ‘tick checks’ at the top of your checklist.

(NC) As you dust off the patio furniture and bring out the kids’ swing sets for summer, consider taking extra steps to protect your family from tick bites.

Certain ticks can spread serious illness like Lyme disease. While they’re typi-cally found in forests and overgrown areas between the woods and open spaces, research tells us that tick populations are spreading.

It’s possible to be bitten out-side of these locations.

As you maintain your yard this season, follow these easy steps to help re-duce tick habitats near your home:

• Keep the grass mowed.• Remove leaf litter, brush

and weeds at the edge of the lawn and around stonewalls and woodpiles.

• Move children’s swing sets and sand boxes away

from the woodland edge and place them on a wood-chip or mulch foundation.

• Discourage rodent ac-tivity by cleaning up and sealing stonewalls and small openings around the home.

• Move firewood piles and bird feeders away from the house.

• Adopt hard landscape practices (using hard mate-rials like stone and metals instead of soft materials like

soil for planting).Extra Tip: Keep your

pets, particularly dogs, out of the woods and talk to your vet about tick repel-lents for your pets.

Successful events provide spin-offfor school lunch program & parkThe members of the Salmon Arm

Rotary Club (aka as “the lunch club”) have been very busy the last few months raising money for local projects. Two successful fundraisers were held, with the proceeds used to support club projects including the elementary school lunch program, youth exchange and a new picnic shelter for Blackburn Park.

Wine FestivalOur annual Shuswap Wine Festival

was a great success, with over 400 people attending, sampling 80 different wines from 19 British Columbia wineries. The wines were complemented by chocolates, cheeses, and savories supplied by sponsors throughout the Okanagan Valley, as well as a marvellous wide assortment of appetizers.

Thanks to people in the community who bought tickets and to our 20 local sponsors who supported the ticket sales drive, we were able to raise $9,000.

Shopping SpreeThe Club sold tickets to a shopping

spree at Askew’s Foods throughout October and November. A second prize was a $250 gas card from theCo-op Gas Bar.

The Shopping Spree ticket draw was held at 5:00pm November 30 at Uptown Askews. The winner of the shopping spree was Pat Timpany of Salmon Arm. The winner of the $250 gas card was Lindsay Quintal.

Mr. and Mrs. Timpany had their shopping spree at the downtown Askew’s Foods location at 7:30am Saturday, December 5. They were ably assisted by Rotarian Dan Hudson, who made a fantastic run around the store and totted up $1,595 in groceries

The Salmon Arm Daybreak Rotary club has had quite a year!

Our new executive is ready to take over on July 1st. This last year’s exec-utive has guided the club thru great successes. Some of the projects that we have sponsored are:

Dr. Ruth Brighouse’s Safe Mother-hood Project again this year. This is such a worthwhile project and gives us great pride in being a part of such a simple and effective program.

The Crocus Campaign for 2015. We have seen how efforts from lo-cal clubs like ours have really made a

worldwide difference in the eradica-tion of polio. This last year saw only 400 cases of reported polio in the world down from 350,000 in 1988.

We are proud to have presented the Shuswap Hospital Foundation with a cheque for $18,503 for the purchase of a Post Anesthetic Moni-tor.

Pictured here are Rotary President Jeff Stacer and Di-

rector of Development for the Shuswap Hospital Foundation

Why is it that the Universe seemingly punishes me when I go off to play for a few days, because inevi-tably all heck breaks loose while I’m away and then my newly relaxed and refreshed mind and body is im-mediately sent into high gear again.

For instance, it turns out that a semi-truck used our power pole for target practice, which knocked out our telephone and Internet which can’t be fixed for another week with writing deadlines to meet in the meantime, a robin had made three messy nests above our deck with the makings of them strewn from one end of it to another, my one-pull wonder of a lawn mower didn’t start when my yard looked like a meadow and the weeds had seemingly been slipped a dose of steroids.

Ugh!So many times when

I’m off to the Coast, someone will say how much faster a trip it is now, but I rarely take the fast lane because it’s much more pleas-ant to take the slow lane so I can make a bunch of pit stops along the way on some of the prettier – though sometimes longer – routes.

I had a week to spend with our daugh-ter on her school break and this time she want-ed to ‘do’ Vancouver (which means mostly shopping to her), but I had the wheel, so we spent it my way in my old and familiar stomp-ing grounds on the north and west shores, where I could navigate around the worst spots of the now insane traf-fic down there.

Thankfully the weather was with us, so we strolled the Stanley Park and West Van seawalls, took in the expansive (and ex-pensive) views from atop Grouse Mountain and scrambled over the smooth and warm rocks at Lighthouse and Whytecliff parks to watch all the boats and ferries go by while soaking up the sun-shine and breathing in the scent of salt air and seaweed.

Not only was it fun and relaxing, but it also served as a good reminder that the best things in life are usu-ally free, and to enjoy beautiful days like that is way better than a shopping mall any day. (Even though she still had to get that out of her system.)

One of the best parts of the week was to bask in the lushness of that rain forest region of towering woods full of ferns growing on the forest floor (my favou-rite plant) and the gar-dens bursting with foli-age – particularly those regal rhododendrons, which were gigantic in some cases and all in full bloom.

What a feast for the eyes to see those big

bouquet-like blossoms of white, red, pink, purple and mauve growing everywhere we went – wow - but the best treat in store for me was coming back home!

Cruising slowly along the Hope-Prince-ton Highway, I stopped everywhere to enjoy the mountain mead-ows of the Cascades, inhale the heady scents of pine and sage along the Similkameen River and drink in the views of the Okanagan valley with all the glistening lakes and acres of or-chards and wineries.

For years I’ve missed the blooms at Pacific

Rhododendron Park, (located just within the western gates of Man-ning Park), but this time I hit it just right because of our early spring, so with cam-era in hand, I silently walked the winding trail through the woods to revel in the presence of the ‘rose trees of the forest.’

Now there’s nothing more lovely to me than to see that beautiful plant in a natural set-ting, growing between the trees on a carpet of green moss, with their branches reaching up to seek out the sun and the smaller and mostly

pink blossoms speck-led by the light and shade, making it all feel like I was in some kind of enchanted for-est.

This is what the sign said about them: - ‘rho-dodendron comes from the Greek word mean-ing rose tree, and the Pacific rhododendron could compete with even the showiest of the hybrid roses.

Reaching a sprawl-ing height of up to eight metres, it sur-passes many of its cul-tivated cousins.

Of the 600 differ-ent species worldwide, only 27 varieties occur in North America, and because of it’s rarity, the Pacific rhododen-dron is protected by law. They are only found in isolated pop-ulations in Manning Park, the Skagit Val-ley, near Mt. Rainer, the Olympic peninsula and by Parksville and Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island.

Their strategy to sur-vive the nutrient-scarce forests is to form a strong partnership with a fungus called ecto-trophic mycorrhiza, which exchanges sug-ars and water for car-bon dioxide and sun-light.’

It’s always worth taking the slow lane if you can to enjoy our beautiful natural and man-made surround-ings.

So next time you plan a road trip to the Coast, allow yourself some time to not only stop and smell the roses, but to hopefully be rewarded by some-thing extraordinary, like catching those rare roses of the forest too.

The property assessment law also provides a process for reconsideration of assessments and for a right of appeal to an independent assessment review board.

This Notice Dated: June 12th, 2015

Matt Lepp is grateful for Stephanie.

She’s the reason he’s back to work at Tree-top Flyers and why he’s able to make sum-mer plans to go rock climbing and do other outdoor adventures.

Because, when Lepp needed some-one to give him part of their liver, Stephanie stepped up, quite pos-sibly saving his life.

“You can’t even describe it,” Lepp, 28, told the newspa-per. “It’s such a brave and selfless thing that someone would do for someone else.

“I’m just grateful forever.”

When Lepp was 18, he was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis – a slowly progressing disease that affects the ability for bile ducts to carry digestive liquid from the liver to the small intestine — and lived without symptoms for nearly a decade.

In 2006, Lepp moved to Kamloops from Sas-katchewan to study

tourism at Thomp-son Rivers University before he and others started the ziplining company in Chase.

Symptoms of the disease began to sur-face last spring.

It started with feel-ings of weakness, de-creased energy and weight loss.

The once seemingly dormant disease pro-gressed to infections that landed him in the hospital.

The doctor said he would need a trans-plant because, Lepp said, he was “basically in liver failure.”

With high demand – more than 1,600 Ca-nadians are added to organ wait lists each year, according to the Canadian Transplant Association – and a long wait list, Lepp’s doctor recommended he find a living donor, someone who would willingly donate part of their organ directly to him.

“In my case, my MELD score [which determines one’s place on the transplant list] didn’t reflect how sick I was,” Lepp said.

“Basically, doctors told me I wouldn’t have lived long enough to receive a donated or-gan.”

Several family mem-bers were tested and cousin Stephanie Lepp Hickey – who Lepp said is more like a sib-ling and who is also in her mid-20s – was a

match.She flew into Ed-

monton’s University of Alberta Hospital from her home in Dal-las, Tex., to donate 70 per cent of her liver to Lepp.

work for a month and left Lepp with a scar that runs inches across and down his stomach.

He also faced months of physiotherapy and will take anti-rejection medication for the rest of his life.

Nonetheless, he has been left “feeling awe-some.”

“It’s a pretty amaz-ing thing, organ dona-tion, because you go from being sick and, in a lot of cases, being on the brink of death, to waking up and just feeling like a new per-son,” he said.

“I’m feeling actu-ally better than I ever have.”

Eight months later, gratitude has turned to advocacy.

Lepp hosted a gala in Kamloops last week to raise funds for the Canadian Transplant Association and spread the word about organ donation.

Guest speakers in-cluded Lepp, Marga-ret Benson from the Canadian Transplant Association and Abby

Farnsworth, a local teenaged transplant survivor.

Organ donationWhen Lepp looks

at the numbers, he can rattle off reasons he thinks Canadians aren’t registering for organ donation.

There’s forgetful-ness, procrastination and even laziness but, mostly, he said, “peo-ple don’t want to think about it.”

In reality, however, signing up to donate organs and tissue can save up to eight lives

and impact up to 75 others, according to the Canadian Transplant Association.

Lepp is one of them.“Only about 25 per

cent of Canadians are registered organ do-nors,” Lepp said.

“About 90 per cent of people are in favour of it, but not a lot of people actually then take that and actually register.”

He said it’s easy and encourages people to have conversations with family members and register by visiting Service BC, at 455 Co-lumbia St., Kamloops, or by filling out the form that comes with a driver’s licence.

“There are so many people waiting for an organ and a second chance at life,” Lepp said.

Citizens urged to become organ donorsContinued from B1

Columbia Shuswap Regional District di-rectors unanimously approved $5,500 from the Electoral Area F North Shuswap Com-munity Works Fund to the Village of Chase for the rebuild of their Ice Kube Compressor.

Infrastructure up-

grades to the tune of $30,000-plus are needed at the Chase and District Art Hold-ing Memorial Arena, but not all upgrades are eligible for gas tax funds and Area F di-rector Larry Morgan was interested only in supporting the com-pressor.

Morgan told direc-

tors at the May 21 re-gional district board meeting in Salmon Arm that he had been approached by Chase Mayor Rick Berrigan with a list of arena items in need of re-placement or repair.

These included a $3,000 Zamboni re-pair, a $2,500 replace-ment of a new stereo

and speaker rebuild and a $5,000 (manual) to $25,000 (automatic) variable speed pump for water pumping.

Other items include $1,200 each for red LED lights for the score clock, new pen-alty box board control for the score clock and ice paint for the 2015-16 season.

The final item listed was $1,500 to repair/replace eaves troughs on the building.

“As we don’t have anything like that in Area F and residents over the years have used facilities in Chase, I thought it would be good to provide some assistance to our neigh-bour,” said Morgan.

What’s On in Chase

On Wednesday morning, drivers will begin using the new Pritchard interchange on Highway 1, about 40 kilometres east of Kamloops.

The interchange is intended to provide

safer access along the Trans-Canada High-way, particularly for residents and visitors to Pritchard.

Motorists are re-minded to obey traffic-control workers and construction speed

limits and to watch for workers and highway message boards, as work continues on the second phase of the Monte Creek to Prich-ard project, which is expected to be com-pleted later this year.

Traffic advisories and web cam views continue to be available online at drivebc.ca.

Project informa-tion is available online at: http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/highwayprojects/bchwy1/index.html.

Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood. When travelers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods

The province’s new 10-year transportation plan, B.C. on the Move, prioritizes investments in our transportation network, and high-lights our commitment to continued improve-ments to Highway 1 between Kamloops and the Alberta border.

The Trans-Canada Highway is B.C.’s pri-mary southern east-west corridor. The sec-tion between Kamloops and the Alberta border is more than 400 kilo-metres long, and winds through some of the most challenging ter-rain in Canada.

It is an essential cor-ridor for trade and trav-el, used by as many as 12,000 vehicles each day, and accounting for the movement of $2 bil-lion in trade per year.

Since 2001, the pro-vincial and federal gov-ernments have invested approximately $700 million in improve-ments between Kam-loops and the Alberta border.

As part of this invest-ment, the province has widened 45 kilometres of Highway 1 to four lanes and has replaced or installed 11 new structures as part of this work.

Work is currently un-derway to widen more sections of Highway 1 to improve safety and capacity. Construc-tion is in full swing on two major Highway 1 improvement projects between Monte Creek and Hoffman’s Bluff east of Kamloops. An-other phase of this work will start this spring, to widen another three ki-lometres of Highway 1 from two to four lanes through Hoffman’s Bluff itself.

In addition, work is underway east of Si-camous to replace the Malakwa Bridge and widen three kilome-tres of highway to four lanes. As detailed in our recently launched

10-year transportation plan, B.C. on the Move, and building on the pro-vincial commitment to invest $650 million over the next 10 years to-ward four-laning High-way 1 from Kamloops to the Alberta border, the province will work with Canada to lever-age federal funding for priority projects. It is our government’s goal to increase investment on this corridor to more than $1 billion with partners over the next 10 years.

With federal and pro-vincial contributions to date, 22 of the 26 kilometres through the Kicking Horse Canyon, east of Golden, have been widened to four lanes, dramatically im-proving safety and ca-pacity of this section of the Trans-Canada. To complete the remain-ing four kilometres, an investment up to $650 million is needed. The province continues to pursue a federal part-nership through the National Infrastruc-ture Component of the Building Canada Fund to enable completion of this project.

Other Highway 1 improvement projects prioritized through B.C. on the Move in-clude Hoffman’s Bluff to Jade Mountain, Don-ald East, Illecillewaet and Salmon Arm West. Planning and design work is underway on each of these projects.

Through B.C. on the Move, we are making other investments in the safety and reliability of Highway 1. As part of our $25-million-per-year Roadside Safety program, we’ll be pi-loting a variable speed zone between Malakwa and Revelstoke, and in-vesting in guardrails in key locations. Because Highway 1 traverses some of the province’s most challenging ava-lanche terrain, we are also committing to pursue new technolo-gies and other improve-ments to reduce the number and duration of highway closures during periods of high avalanche hazard. The ministry will also work toward this goal with local government and incident responders, in-cluding the police and coroners.

Improving the Trans-Canada Highway be-tween Kamloops and the Alberta border to make it safer and more efficient for all travel-lers is critical to at-tract new investment and support economic growth in British Co-lumbia.

Through B.C. on the Move, the provin-cial government will continue to four-lane and implement safety improvements on the Trans-Canada, and work with the federal government to leverage available funding to build on our partnership successes to date.

A gift for every dadIt’s the same story every year: on Fa ther’s Day,

what on earth do you give to a man who already has everything he needs? The key to the perfect gift is to buy something that your father would like to have, but probably wouldn’t buy for himself; it has to be something that would be a real treat for him. Here are a few tips.

THE HANDYMAN DADIf your father loves working with his hands, ask

questions about his most re cent projects and pay attention to what he says. He may mention a tool

or gad get that would have been useful, but that he doesn’t have. This could be the perfect opportunity!

THE TECHIE DADTechnology fans usually have very de � nite pref-

erences when it comes to their devices and tend to buy for themselves the most current models. In other words, it’s risky to give the latest gadget as a gift. Instead, think about something un usual, along the lines of a Bluetooth speaker for the shower that he can connect to his smart phone!

THE EPICUREAN DADDoes your father enjoy a delicious meal and a

good bottle of wine? Of course, treating him to a bottle of his favourite drink or a restaurant meal is always a safe bet, but maybe you should try to be more original this year by focusing on useful and fun accessories. For example, instead of giving him his usual short-lived bottle of whiskey, you could opt for a beautiful set of whiskey stones to cool his favourite libation.

You know your father best, whether he’s sporty, fashion conscious or an avid reader. Whatever his interests are, the important thing is to give him a gift that shows you’ve thought about him; after all, that’s what really counts.

THANKS, DAD!Nowadays we tend

to see most special oc-casions from a com-mercial point of view, and Father’s Day is no

exception. But during your search for the per-fect gift, be sure not to lose sight of the true na-ture of this day. Father’s

Day is a ce lebration of the most important man in your life and all he gave to his family over the years.

It may be that for you, highlighting Fa-ther’s Day is a way to acknowledge the im-portant role your dad has played in your life since the day you were born. He was your coach, your marriage counsellor (sometimes unsolicited, but still), your Prince Charming or your superhero, and he worked all his life (along with Mom) to offer the very best to his family. He celebrated your successes with you and always listened to your problems, of-ten relegating his own

to the background. Of course, you de� nitely appreciate all this, but how many times have you actually said so? Make the most of this special June Sunday to say a simple “thank you” to your Dad for all he has given you. Gifts are a rather ephe meral way of expressing your affection, but a few sin-cere words will remain forever etched in his memory.

Whether your father is on the other side of the planet or in the same house as you, take a moment to remind him that without him, you wouldn’t be where you are today. After all, isn’t that the real purpose of Father’s Day?
