Thunderstorms follow heat wave BRAD CALKINS PHOTO

n Salmon Arm resident Brad Calkins captured this spectacular image of lightning with Mt. Ida in the background during Monday night’s thunderstorm.

Wildfire officials will be keeping a close watch on the forests follow-ing a thunderstorm that launched more than 5,000 lightning strikes in the Kamloops Fire Centre.

Most of the strikes took place in the Kamloops and Salmon Arm Fire zones, says Kelsey Winter, fire information officer with the Min-

istry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ BC Wildfire Service.

Fortunately, the storm that swept through Monday evening was ac-companied by substantial rain – 11.8 millimetres were recorded at a station in Salmon Arm and 12.6 were measured at a station closer to Turtle Valley.

“We will have to see what pops up, but it’s better to have rain,” said

Winter of the possibility lightning hold-overs will emerge over the coming days or weeks.

Lightning ignited a fire in a stand of trees behind GM Motors.

Fire chief Brad Shirley says Hall 2 responded to a report of a tree on fire at 9:30 p.m. June 29.

Firefighters managed to keep flames out of other trees and, after dousing the fire, discovered it was the result of a lightning strike.

Salmon Arm was under another severe thunderstorm watch on Tues-day.

With sunny skies and climbing temperatures forecast for a long stretch beginning Wednesday, July 1 and fire danger ratings already high to extreme, Wildfire BC has imposed a campfire ban, effective

noon Friday, July 3.“With the current

trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed aggressive behaviour and have required ad-ditional firefighting re-sources,” reads a June 30 BC Wildfire release.

“ H u m a n - c a u s e d wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires.”

In addition to camp-fires, this prohibition applies to open fires of any size, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns

and burning barrels. But the prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a porta-ble campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rat-ing that uses briquettes, liquid fuel or gas fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres.

While the provincial ban applies only to BC Parks, Crown land and private lands, Shirley says the Salmon Arm Fire Department will apply the provisions of the ban to the same extent as the province on lands within Salmon Arm municipal bound-aries.

It was corruption that derailed 12,500 rural property taxes.

“A p p r o x i m a t e l y 12,500 rural property tax notices were automatically aborted due to a corrupt character in the printing file,” reads a June 26 email from the Ministry of Finance.

“New tax notices

with an extended deadline are currently being mailed out and taxpayers will receive them shortly.”

The system error affected property owners in Area C South Shuswap, Area D Falkland/Salmon Valley/Ranchero, Area E rural Sicamous and Area F North Shuswap.

The payment deadline has been extended to 38 days

from the date of issue. The same extension will be granted to these taxpayers for h o m e ow n e r - g r a n t applications.

Affected taxpayers will not be subject to a late payment penalty if they pay their property taxes by the extended deadline.

In rural areas, tax payments must be received or postmarked on or before the due

date to be considered on time.

Those who are unable to pay their taxes in full should still claim their homeowner grant and see if they qualify to defer their taxes.

Rural property taxes are payable through financial institutions, through a mortgage agreement, at Service BC offices and by mail or courier.

LACHLAN LABERE/MARKET NEWS

The Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure (MOTI) revealed the latest $120 million plans for upgrading the Trans Canada Highway west of Salm-on Arm last Wednesday at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort.

The project will begin with pre-loading the site of a new el-evated bridge, which will be built north of the current highway and connect back to the current high-way at 10th Street SW, says proj-ect manager Dave Shibata.

“We’re still waiting for the geotechnical report,” said Shibata Friday. “We suspect it will be soft soil, so it will have be pre-loaded and that can take anywhere from 10 to 20 months.”

Shibata says pre-loading will begin in 2016 and once the site is suitable for bridge construc-tion, projects will be tendered through BC Bids. The first part of the project includes the re-placement of the Salmon River Bridge, addition of a frontage road to Salmon River Road via two roundabouts – one on either side of the highway – and front-age roads connecting Pedro’s and

DeMilles and running to 30th Avenue SW.

Down the road, the second part of the project will take place between 30th Street SW to 10th Street SW. It will involve realign-ing the 10th Avenue SW intersec-tion – moving it east and creating a frontage road on the north side of highway connecting to 25th Street SW. On the south side, a front-age road will con-nect to 30th Street SW, access will be improved to First Nations land on 15th Street SW and improvements will be made to the 10th Street intersection.

“We’re working with Adams Lake Indian Band and are beginning the acquisition of properties,” said Shibata. “I can’t say when it will happen. There are quite a few properties, but we’re hoping to tender it in 2017.”

The third part of the project includes a section of the TCH be-tween the western border of Nes-konlith Band lands to First Av-enue SW. It involves four-laning

the highway and the potential for connection to First Nations Road through an underpass, as well as two pedestrian underpasses.

“We’re in consultation with the Neskonlith,” said Shibata.

Overall, the project includes intersection improvements, four-laning, adding sidewalks and frontage roads and improv-

ing and connecting walking and biking trails.

Murray Tekano, MOTI’s district manager for the Southern Interior says the project fo-cuses on improving safety, reliability and access as Salmon Arm’s population continues to grow.

He says he heard a lot of positive feed-

back at the open house that at-tracted well over 200 people.

“That speaks to how impor-tant the community views these improvements,” he said, noting MOTI officials have listened to concerns, producing much-im-proved plans and that he expects some tweaking as public input continues.

The prospect of get-ting more bus service in Salmon Arm in the near future doesn’t look promising, but that doesn’t mean the city should not request an increase.

Ryan Little, re-gional manager for BC Transit, addressed city council’s June 8 meeting where he said transit funding levels are forecast to “remain relatively flat” over the next three years, which includes this year.

He was responding to a question from Coun. Ken Jamieson who noted council has heard there will be a three-year funding freeze.

In previous years, funding has increased annually.

“As you know, the provincial budget is approved annually but it’s a three-year plan,” Little said, suggesting if the city has a request it should fine-tune it with the city’s director of engineering, Rob Niewenhuizen, and then send it to the pro-vincial government.

“The likelihood (of more funding) wasn’t as great as in prior years, but it’s still only determined on an an-

nual basis.”He said in his opin-

ion, although BC Transit receives lots of requests for expanded service, there is care-ful balancing between what is affordable and what is requested.

City council was presented with a peti-tion in April from more than 250 citizens ask-ing that busing hours be increased to 9 p.m. on weekdays and service be provided on Sunday.

“There is insufficient busing hours for the amount of residents, especially seniors and people with disabili-ties who have no other means aside from the city bus to get around in our community,” the petition read.

Louise Wallace Richmond asked if BC Transit would get the petition. Niewenhuizen said the information could be passed along when council makes its request.

Coun. Kevin Flynn suggested that repre-sentatives of the indus-trial park make a pre-sentation to council.

“Anybody who wants transit improve-ments (should pres-ent to council), make sure we’re on the same page.”

Coun. Chad Elia-

son encouraged the college students who were involved in cir-culating the petition to also present to council. He would like to see a collaboration between those who own buses.

“I’d like to see a hy-brid version of transit buses – the school dis-trict’s buses, Interior Health’s buses...”

Little said the city funds about 45 per cent of the total cost of run-ning the transit system,

with the net municipal share $508,000 in the 2015/16 fiscal year.

Shuswap Transit provides 113,900 pas-senger trips per year and 9.6 trips per service hour with eight buses on eight routes, Little said.

He also told coun-cil that BC Transit just held its annual work-shop in Harrison Hot Springs and will have another next year in Whistler.

Forty-seven students from Salmon Arm were honoured with scholar-ships and bursaries this month at Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm Campus awards cer-emony.

A number of mature students from the Salm-on Arm campus credit support from the Col-lege and the commu-nity for helping them to realize their dream of returning to the class-room.

Laureen Shannon, who is currently pur-suing a Business Ad-ministration diploma, received one of five Al Neale Bursaries val-ued at $1,500. A single mother to three chil-dren, Shannon says the bursary helps in more ways than one.

“Receiving this bur-sary will help me com-plete my program,” says Shannon. “But the impact of the support goes beyond alleviating financial stress. I feel incredibly inspired by the fact that someone in our community rec-ognizes my hard work and wants to help me in my education.”

When she completes her diploma in 2016, Shannon hopes to go on to pursue a Bachelor of Business degree in Hu-man Resources Man-agement at the college.

“I feel very proud to be able to set an ex-ample for my sons,” says Shannon. “I am

showing them the im-portance of lifelong learning, and I’m very grateful to the donors and to the College for helping me bring my dreams within reach.”

Jim Barmby, Region-al Dean for Okanagan College’s Shuswap-Revelstoke region spoke about the role that donors play in sup-porting the interactive educational experience offered by the college.

“The learning envi-ronment provided by Okanagan College is conducive to a high level of student-teach-er interaction, which is something we are very proud of and feel greatly benefits the stu-

dents,” says Barmby. “It is all the more spe-cial that the people of our region play such an active role in support-ing our students.”

At the ceremony, nu-merous students credit-ed small class sizes and the quality of instruc-tion they received as contributing factors for their success.

Sean Rossouw re-ceived two awards, including the Salmon Arm College Scholar-ship for top student in Business.

“Having top-level professors who are so incredibly generous with their time as well as their knowledge has been life changing for me,” says Rossouw.

“I have been touched by their generosity as well as by the generos-ity of the surrounding community that is so involved in supporting students.”

Rossouw hopes to parlay his Bachelor of Business Administra-tion Degree (Account-ing) into a career that allows him to give back.

This year, more than $75,000 will be disbursed to Shus-wap students from the Okanagan Col-lege Foundation, the Shuswap Community Foundation, local com-munity groups and in-dividual donors.

Laureen Shannon, who is currently pur-suing a Business Ad-ministration diploma, received one of five Al Neale Bursaries val-ued at $1,500. A single mother to three chil-dren, Shannon says the bursary helps in more ways than one.

“Receiving this bur-sary will help me com-plete my program,” says Shannon. “But the impact of the support goes beyond alleviating financial stress. I feel incredibly inspired by the fact that someone in our community rec-ognizes my hard work and wants to help me in my education.”

When she completes her diploma in 2016, Shannon hopes to go on to pursue a Bachelor of Business degree in Hu-man Resources Man-agement at the college.

“I feel very proud to be able to set an ex-ample for my sons,” says Shannon. “I am

showing them the im-portance of lifelong learning, and I’m very grateful to the donors and to the College for helping me bring my dreams within reach.”

Jim Barmby, Region-al Dean for Okanagan College’s Shuswap-Revelstoke region spoke about the role that donors play in sup-porting the interactive educational experience offered by the college.

“The learning envi-ronment provided by Okanagan College is conducive to a high level of student-teach-er interaction, which is something we are very proud of and feel greatly benefits the stu-

dents,” says Barmby. “It is all the more spe-cial that the people of our region play such an active role in support-ing our students.”

At the ceremony, nu-merous students credit-ed small class sizes and the quality of instruc-tion they received as contributing factors for their success.

Sean Rossouw re-ceived two awards, including the Salmon Arm College Scholar-ship for top student in Business.

“Having top-level professors who are so incredibly generous with their time as well as their knowledge has been life changing for me,” says Rossouw.

“I have been touched by their generosity as well as by the generos-ity of the surrounding community that is so involved in supporting students.”

Rossouw hopes to parlay his Bachelor of Business Administra-tion Degree (Account-ing) into a career that allows him to give back.

This year, more than $75,000 will be disbursed to Shus-wap students from the Okanagan Col-lege Foundation, the Shuswap Community Foundation, local com-munity groups and in-dividual donors.

College scholarships help students attain their goals

n Laureen Shannon, Business Administration Diploma program and son Kayden share their appreciation.

The other day I saw about half a dozen birds sitting in the branches of an apple tree outside my front window. I’d never seen them be-fore, and haven’t seen them since. They looked like some sort of dove. Probably just passing through. I’ll have to look them up in one of my bird books.

Wildlife species have been dispersing and re-dispersing themselves throughout the world for millions of years. The only real difference between so-called “historical” introduc-tion of species, and those which have taken place in the past couple of hundred years, is the rate and scale with which they have taken place. So when wildlife bi-ologists and other experts use words like alien, ex-otic and invasive to describe plant and animal species that have been introduced into new or “non-indige-nous” environments, it is as much a question of seman-tics as anything else.

Before human travel be-came widespread, plants and animals arrived on foreign shores mostly by

chance. In some instances they swam across oceans, migrated across continents, drifted on air and water cur-rents or hitched rides with other travellers.

Here is where semantics come in. Plant and animal species that arrive and es-tablish themselves in an ecosystem where they did not evolve are described as “alien.” Once established beyond the initial point of introduction, they are then considered “naturalized” components of their new en-vironment. An alien species is considered “invasive” when and if it displaces na-tive species. The invasive species tend to reproduce quickly, spread rapidly and

compete aggressively with indigenous species, in large part, because there are usu-ally few or no indigenous species that can or will pre-date on the new arrivals.

However, these so-called alien/invasive species did not actually sit down and plot out any sort of inten-tional invasion of their new home and surroundings. They simply, one day, found themselves there and then proceeded to go about the mundane business of sur-viving and reproducing.

Words like ‘alien’ and ‘invasive,’ not to mention ‘naturalized,’ ‘indigenous’ and ‘non-indigenous’ are human words used to de-scribe processes which affect human habitat and environments – and human economies.

Not too long ago the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Op-erations proposed a cull-ing of wolves in several regions of the province. At the time, the government said the proposed changes (to legislation) were meant to help cattlemen protect their herds from predation

by wolves.The question here is just

who is the invasive species?The cattle ranchers, who

have expanded their graz-ing territory into timbered Crown lands, simply want-ed to protect their profits and were able to put pres-sure on the provincial gov-ernment to introduce the cull. Once again, the reason was purely political.

Expecting wolves not to predate on cattle grazing in their backyard is sort of like cooking up a pot roast for Sunday supper, setting it on the kitchen table to cool, telling the dog not to touch it and then leaving the room.

What you have with both the wolf cull and the pot roast situations is a lack of reasoning coupled with not enough understanding, combined with a degree of stupidity, added to a natural instinct to eat food that’s sitting right there in front of you – all with various amounts of self-interest and self-preservation mixed into the equation.

It’s a good thing we’ve got politicians to figure these sort of situation out.

OPINION

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

Understanding invasive species

Regardless of where one stands on the marijuana-legalization debate, it is simply irrefutable that the City of Vancouver’s decision to regulate its burgeon-ing medical-marijuana dispensary business is posi-tive.

There are about 100 storefront marijuana dispen-saries operating in Vancouver and they exist because the police in that city have taken a stance to concen-trate on real crime, rather than spend precious time seeking to shut down the stores.

By seeking to regulate the stores — not the prod-uct sold — the City of Vancouver wants to ensure regulation is strict and that locations are away from schools, community centres and other marijuana dispensaries.

With a permit fee of $30,000, Vancouver is ensur-ing it is more difficult, not easier, for such businesses to operate in the city.

Compare the city’s rational response to the fact marijuana is on its way to being decriminalized or legalized to the sad histrionic viewpoint of federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose, whose ridiculous warnings would be more at home in a Reefer Mad-ness script.

Like her Conservative peers. Ambrose sticks to the failed war-on-pot stance that has done nothing but make gangsters rich and give regular people criminal records.

Ambrose opposed Vancouver’s plan to regulate its medical-marijuana dispensary business, noting marijuana is illegal and claiming such regulation will increase pot use and addiction.

Of course, Ambrose is wrong.Regulation and the stiff permit fee that will accom-

pany it will likely result in fewer medical marijuana dispensaries in Vancouver, so Ambrose’s fear of skyrocketing addiction rates will probably not come to fruition.

Speaking of addiction, has Ambrose perused the latest statistics on death and damage that results from legal alcohol?

Positive approach to pot distribution

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW,

Salmon Arm, B.C.

It’s always early when I drop my hub-by off at the airport in Kelowna, so I took my usual time getting home so that I could spend time poking around new places and enjoy the Okanagan Valley.

The air was already warm enough for a swim after having my breakfast in Winfield, so I stopped at the empty beach in Oyama and had a dip in the glassy-calm lake. But I wasn’t there alone. A man in a small boat and an osprey were fish-ing nearby, ducks were cruising the shorelines, swallows were making quick dives to scoop up a little water to drink and dragonflies were darting about all around me.

After treating myself to some fresh cherries at Gatzke’s Farmers Market, I continued along lovely Kalamal-ka Lake (which means ‘lake of many colours’) and decided to snoop out the Sparkling Hill Resort that our friends keep talking about and where Sir Anthony Hopkins stayed while he was making his movie in Enderby. That windy road offered the

singing of meadowlarks and scenes of green pastures full of grazing cattle and horses, with a deer in the distance, the occasional farm house, small ponds full of bull rushes and buzzing insects and a large water reclamation pond for the now very large Predator Ridge Golf Course develop-ment that I had to drive through to get there. After that was another quick stop to see the Al-lan Brooks Nature Cen-tre where gopher, snake and marmot signs were posted along the gravel road, a rest at the river in Enderby and another splash in Mara Lake to cool off again in the af-ternoon heat.

Water is everywhere in the Okanagan and Shuswap valleys, but it should never be taken for granted that lakes and rivers will always be clean and full today and into the future.

El Niño and La Niña are both terms referring to large-scale changes in sea-surface tempera-tures across the central and eastern tropical Pacific and created by very complex dynam-ics that are still not fully understood today.

An El Niño event happens when the tropical trade winds die out and ocean tempera-tures become unusually warm and unstable. On the flip side is La Niña, which occurs when the winds blow unusually hard and the sea tem-perature becomes cold-er than normal. They usually last around nine to 12 months, occur ev-

ery two to seven years and have been happen-ing for at least 125,000 years.

These events can have major impacts on global weather patterns and marine ecosystems, as well as creating many natural disasters – so they can be pretty tough on the planet, critters and people. This year is an El Niño year, and it’s possible that it could be the worst one on record, going right into 2016. This means we’re not only in for a hotter and drier sum-

mer – particularly in the Prairies – but also an extreme forest fire season and possible crop losses. This will also make it even worse for California.

Water scarcity has already hit many plac-es in all three western provinces due to low snow packs and little rainfall, but this is only just the beginning of it. The low water levels in our lakes, rivers and un-derground aquifers will not only affect people, but also all the other micro and macro life forms that depend on it just as much as we do.

We will all need to do our best to conserve

and properly utilize the water, so we farmers, gardeners and home-owners can do our part by using mulches, wa-tering with the proper amounts and at the right times, making sure our sprinklers are hitting the lawn and not the road and even changing our plants to suit a now-dryer climate. Also keep in mind the fertil-izers and ‘cides’ we use end up as ‘nutrients’ in our groundwater and lakes, creating pollu-tion problems and bad algae blooms.

As I took in the ex-pansive views of the Okanagan Lake from the deck of that fancy resort, I saw new hous-ing developments being carved out of the moun-tains in all directions, further increasing the demands on the water supply.

It really struck me then that this precious resource is not only vital for survival to us and so many other life forms in this beautiful pocket of British Co-lumbia – but how much quality it adds to our life with all the won-derful food, flowers and beverages we can produce here, the way we can play, the liveli-hoods it supports and the breathtaking views it offers.

Water – waste not, want not as they say. We need to respect it and protect it to not only continue enjoying this amazing lifestyle we have here, but be-cause so many crea-tures depend on it just to live.

Respect our water sources

Hi I’m Sam. I’m looking for a quieter kind of home where I can get lots of couch time with my new people or person. I don’t like other cats as much as I like people and I worry about new situations a tad so you’ll have to be a bit patient with me when I � rst move in. I’d make a great companion for an older person.

In Area C there has been substantial dis-cussion about the de-sirability and feasibil-ity of building a new community cultural and recreational centre.

Across Canada there are many communities with smaller popula-tions that have recre-ational and/or cultural centres, so the question that emerges is, “…why not us?”

To skate, play hock-ey/soccer/volleyball/ringette, or to just have a swim, residents of Area C must drive to other centres along the Trans-Canada High-way.

Young families who are considering mov-

ing to our area may � nd that this requirement is less than ideal, and as a result, may decide to locate elsewhere.

Others who live here may decide that the drive in the dead of winter just isn’t worth it, so they miss out on opportunities to social-ize, catch a show or stay in shape.

There’s no doubt that recreational facilities contribute to the health and wellness of their communities and help to enhance the quality of life for all residents.

These facilities also provide a central gathering point and a source of pride for many communities.

A major concern with building this type of infrastructure is cost, including both capital construction costs as well as ongo-ing operating costs.

There are opportuni-ties to win grants from the provincial and federal governments to support the capital costs, but regardless

of any grants received there will be increased costs for the local tax-payers to absorb.

It all boils down to the balance of costs versus bene� ts for the residents of Area C.

What are the recre-ational and cultural ac-tivities, if any, that you would like to be able to participate in, and what are you willing to spend, if anything, to enjoy that participa-tion?

These are the key questions to address, but there are also many layers of complexity to consider.

To start off the re-search on this initia-tive, a questionnaire has been developed for the residents of Area C.

Completing the survey will take only about 15 minutes of your time, and we would ask that only one survey be complet-ed per household.

All responses are anonymous and your identity is not noted in

any way. The results from this

survey will be commu-nicated on the CSRD website.

Please take a few minutes to provide us with your opinions and input on this very im-portant topic.

On May 15, the Government of Canada announced its plan to reduce greenhouse gas

(GHG) emissions to 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Minis-ter of the Environment Leona Aglukkaq also said that new regula-tory measures will be developed in a respon-sible sector-by-sector approach to build on successes in GHG re-ductions to date.

In 2013, Canada’s GHG emissions were 3.1 per cent lower than 2005 levels while the economy grew by 12.9

per cent over the same period. Now that our government has dem-onstrated that it is pos-sible to reduce GHGs while growing Cana-da’s economy, we have made this commitment to continue the impor-tant work of reducing GHGs while driving the economy forward.

In 2012, Canada was the first major coal user to ban the construction of traditional coal- fired electricity genera-

tion. Coal is the largest source of GHG in the world. Canada repre-sents less than two per cent of all global car-bon emissions and in comparison, the U.S. coal sector alone pro-duces more GHGs than all of Canada.

Through investments in research and the in-troduction of stricter emission guidelines, Canada is a leader in clean electrical genera-tion with 79 per cent

of Canada’s electricity being produced emis-sion free.

In the transportation sector, our government has invested in public transit in our cities and has set fuel efficiency targets for our auto in-dustry, which has led to better fuel mileage in newer vehicles. Like-wise, Canada’s rail and commercial transport truck operators have also improved the fuel efficiency of the loco-

motives and tractors that they use to reduce emissions.

The May 15 an-nouncement referred to as a Nationally De-termined Contribution has also been formally submitted to the Unit-ed Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Our government is working with stake-holders in various sec-tors to meet our targets and achieve results

without compromising our economy or imple-menting a job-killing carbon tax.

Environmental stew-ardship can only be judged on proven re-sults and we are the first government in Canadian history to reduce GHGs and this proves our actions have worked.

Weed out injuries while gar-dening

(NC) Gardening has grown into one of Canada’s most popular activities in recent years as a growing number of us discover the pleasures and rewards of a beauti-ful landscape. But exer-cising your green thumb does come with some risks. A day of digging, weed-ing and watering can also lead to injury when proper safety precautions are not followed.

Here are some steps to help prevent and treat common gardening injuries:

• Safety goggles and gloves shield eyes and skin from chemicals and pesticides and protect from sharp or motorized equipment.

• Several hours spent in the sun can lead to sunburn and increased chances of skin cancer. Choose a wide-brimmed hat, sun-glasses and sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher and seek a shade break between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

• While watering your plants, don’t forget to wa-ter yourself. Drink plenty of liquids, but avoid alco-hol or sugary beverages that can lead to dehydra-tion.

• Use lightweight hand

tools with rubber handles and ergonomic designs. Tools with offset handles make digging and weeding easier. Keep tools main-tained as sharp, clean tools work better and require less effort. Handle extend-ers and reachers can help reduce the need for bend-ing, reaching and stretch-ing.

Treating common injuriesEven when following these precautions garden-ers can still feel back and knee pain, bumps, bruises, scrapes and bites during long days of tending to their backyard haven. So it’s a good idea to keep a summer essentials first aid

kit on hand to treat com-mon injuries when garden-ing and for outdoor family activities:

• At the first sign of pain or bruising look to a ho-meopathic topical medi-cine such as Arnicare gel or cream to help relieve muscle and joint pain and ease resorption of swell-ing and bruising. Try it for neck, back, shoulder and leg muscle pain, swelling from injuries, and bruising.

• For skin irritations, Ci-cadermine, a homeopathic ointment can help relieve redness and facilitate heal-ing.

• For stings and bug bites, try Dapis gel for relief. It’s

a non-greasy and paraben-free gel that relieves itching and promotes the healing of insect bites.

• Don’t let seasonal aller-gies dampen your love for flowers. A non-drowsy and antihistamine-free medi-cine, such as Sabalia, can help relieve seasonal al-lergy symptoms. Keep in mind, these homeopathic medicines may not be right for everyone, always read and follow the label. By following a few precau-tions, you can make this gardening season a safe and pleasant one.

Salmon Arm resi-dent Norman Embree has stepped away from his roles at Okanagan College and Interior Health, but he’s not slowing down much.

Embree has now joined the board of di-rectors for the Nature Trust of British Co-lumbia, a non-profit land conservation or-ganization.

As a leading non-profit land conser-vation organization, The Nature Trust of British Columbia is dedicated to protecting BC’s natural diversity of plants and animals through the acquisition and management of critical habitats. Since 1971 The Nature Trust, along with their part-

ners, has invested more than $80 million to se-cure over 70,000 hect-ares (173,000 acres) across British Colum-bia.

Embree has spent a lifetime working as an entrepreneur. His career began in secu-rities and he eventu-ally joined his family’s machining business, Embree Industries Ltd. of Hamilton, Ontario, which was founded by his grandfather in 1913. At the age of 34, he bought the company and became President and CEO, expanding it to an international company. During his career he also worked for the Business Devel-opment Bank of Cana-da as well as becoming

a founding partner in a management consult-ing company, Presi-dents Network Inc. He moved to Salmon Arm in 1996 and served as a Board member of the Salmon Arm Eco-nomic Development Advisory Committee, Shuswap Hospice So-ciety, and the College of Pharmacists of BC. He was the Chair of the

Interior Health Author-ity Board of Directors from 2007 to 2014 and Chair of the Board of Governors as Okana-gan College transi-tioned from Okanagan University College.

Visit the Kid’s Cor-ner, where children can make a special pioneer craft, colour and have their face painted.

Children can com-pete for prizes in the cupcake eating con-test. Families may play games of chance and

skill to win prizes and explore the village on a special pioneer scaven-ger hunt.

SPORTS


The schedule for the upcoming 2015-16 BCHL regular season has been released.

The Silverbacks will host the defend-ing league champions, the Penticton Vees on opening night on home ice at the Shaw Centre on Friday, Sept. 11. The

’Backs will travel to Chilliwack to play two games in the BCHL Bauer Showcase on Sept. 24 and 25.

Another game of note will be when the BCHL’s newest team, from south of the boarder, the Wenatchee Wild pay a visit to the

Shaw Centre on Friday, Oct. 2.

In other BCHL news, Silverbacks General Manager Troy Mick announced the acqui-sition for 20-year-old Aidan Salerno from the Buffalo Jr. Sabres of the Ontario Junior Hockey League last week. The

6’3, 218 pound right shot defenceman from Long Beach, N.Y. played in 51 regular season games and reg-istered 14 points and 101 penalty minutes. In the playoffs he ap-peared in seven games and scored two goals and one assist.

ChaseHeat retreatn Chase residents attempted to beat the heat last weekend by retreating to the water. Above, Andy Scissons teaches Zoey Smith how to keep her bal-ance and ride a stand up paddleboard on Little Shuswap Lake. Below, Chase Beach is packed with people aiming to cool down.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on Mon-day after spending the night on the underside of the Pritchard Bridge.

Const. Jonathan Spooner said the inci-dent began on Sunday when a Chase RCMP officer called out to the man on a beach on the north side of the river. The man was wanted

on several warrants.“The man ran to the

river and climbed onto the pilings, making his way to the centre span of the bridge, about 30 feet above the fast-run-ning water,” Spooner said in statement.

Police stayed with the man, who was sit-ting amid the bridge’s pilings, overnight and

manned a police boat below.

A negotiator with Kamloops RCMP was called in on Monday morning and talked the tired and cold man

down. He was not in-jured.

Spooner said he was expected to appear in court Monday after-noon to face unspeci-fied charges.

Outfielder Tyson Gil-lies will wear the Maple Leaf on the baseball diamond next month at the 2015 Toronto Pan American Games.

Gillies has been named to the roster of Canada’s baseball team.

The Chase native is batting .268 through 33 games for the San Antonio Missions, a double-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres in the Texas League. The speedy centre-fielder from the North Thomp-

son was at one point a top prospect of the Phil-lies before being signed by San Diego.

Canada’s roster is headlined by veteran major-league pitcher and B.C. native Jeff Francis.

He made his major league debut on Aug. 25, 2004, with Colo-rado and has pitched with Kansas City, Cin-cinnati, Oakland, the New York Yankees and Toronto.

Canada’s roster in-

cludes eight players from the team that won gold at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guada-lajara, Mexico: Andrew Albers, Shawn Hill, Brock Kjeldgaard, Kyle Lotzkar, Dustin Molle-ken, Chris Robinson, Tim Smith and Skyler Stromsmoe.

Other B.C. players on the team are infielder Jesse Hodges of Vic-toria, infielder Jordan Lennerton of Langley, pitcher Adam Loewen of Surrey, pitcher Kyle

Lotzkar of Abbottsford, outfielder Tyler O’Neill of Maple Ridge, and outfielder Rene Tosoni of Port Coquitlam.

The baseball sched-

ule at the Games gets underway on July 11, when Canada will play its first game, against the formidable Domini-can Republic.

Last Friday, in France, an Islamist named Yahya Salhi killed his employer, Herve Cornara. He at-tached the victim’s severed head to the fence around a chemi-cal plant, together with a cloth saying, “There is no God but God and Muham-mad is his prophet.” Sahli then rammed his vehicle into a ware-house full of chemicals hoping –but failing – to cause a massive explo-sion.

In Kuwait two hours later, Fahd Su-leiman Abdulmohsen al-Qaba’a, a Saudi citizen, entered a Shia mosque and detonated

a bomb that killed at least 25 people. He was presumably a Sunni fa-natic sent by ‘Islamic State’ to kill Shias, who they believe are heretics who should be killed.

In Tunisia one hour later, 38 European tour-ists, most of them Brit-ish, were massacred by a 23-year-old man with a Kalashnikov on a beach in Sousse. The perpetrator, Seifeddine Rezgui, was studying engineering at a uni-versity in Kairouan, an hour’s drive west of Sousse.

Islamic State, which has carved out a terri-tory in Iraq and Syria that has more people and a bigger army than half the members of the United Nations, immediately claimed responsibility for all three attacks. Yahya Salhi may have been a lone-wolf head case, but in the other two cases the claim was al-most certainly true.

But there was anoth-

er attack that you prob-ably didn’t hear about. Kobani, the Kurd-ish town in northern Syria that withstood a four-month siege by Islamic State troops last year, came under attack again last Thurs-day. About a hundred young Islamists in Humvees and pickup trucks drove into town and shot 220 people dead in the streets and in their houses.

So 64 murders that you heard a lot about, and 220 others you heard little or noth-ing about. There are hundreds of innocent people being murdered by Islamist fanatics in Syria every week, so it’s no longer news. Besides, the motive there is obvious: it’s just Islamic State try-ing to expand its terri-tory in Syria. But as for the others....

Britain’s prime minister, David Cam-eron, responded to the deaths of 30 British citizens in Tunisia by

trotting out the same shopworn drivel that Western leaders have been peddling for the past 14 years. The fight against Islamic State is “the struggle of our generation,” Cameron declared. Indeed, IS poses “an existential threat” to the West.

Maybe Cameron doesn’t know what the word “existential” means. Could some-body please explain to him that he is saying that Islamic State pos-es a threat to the con-tinued existence of the West? Does he really think that is the case?

Forgive me for mak-ing a cold-blooded calculation, but some-times it is necessary. The population of the West (not counting the countries of Latin America, which don’t play in this league) is about 900 million. Thirty-nine “Western-ers” have been killed in attacks by Islamist terrorists this month. At this rate, the West

will have ceased to ex-ist in 1.9 million years. If this is an existential threat, it’s not a very urgent one.

In fact, it’s not really about the West at all. The European victims on the beach in Sousse were killed in order to destroy the tourism that provides almost 15 percent of Tunisia’s national income, and thereby destabilize the only fully democratic country in the Arab world. The extremists’ real goal is to seize power in Tunisia; the Western victims were just a means to that end.

The bombing of a Shia mosque in Ku-wait was intended to increase tensions be-tween the Sunni major-ity and the large Shia minority in that coun-try, with the ultimate goal of unleashing a Sunni-Shia civil war in which Islamist extrem-ists could take over the Sunni side as they have already done in Syria

and Iraq.Only the lone-wolf

attack in France could be conceivably be seen as directed at the “West” – although that might also have been just a personal griev-ance wrapped up in an Islamist justification.

The rest of the kill-ing was about who controls the Muslim countries, particularly in the Middle East, as it has been from the start. Even 9/11 was about that, designed not to “bring America to its knees,” but to lure it into an invasion of Afghanistan that Osama bin Laden be-lieved would stimulate Islamist revolutions in Muslim countries. The Islamists do “hate Western values,” but they have bigger fish to fry at home.

Islamic State and the various incarnations of Al Qaeda (the Nusra Front in Syria, Al Qa-eda in the Arabian Peninsula, etc,) pose an existential threat to

the non-Sunni Muslim minorities of the Mid-dle East, and even to Sunni Muslims whose beliefs diverge sig-nificantly from those of the Islamists. The West should help gov-ernments in the region that protect their mi-norities, and of course it should try to protect its own people.

But this is not the “struggle of our gen-eration” for the West. It should be nowhere near the top of its own list of priorities.

Islamic State no existential threat to the West

With summer upon us, the itch to get out-doors becomes difficult to ignore.

Our family likes to make time each sum-mer for a few camping trips. Since we have a toddler I like to make sure we are organized with food.

I plan simple meals and prepare food be-fore we go. I try to use certain foods in mul-tiple meals and snacks, such as cheese, yogurt, and bread, to save space in the cooler.

Of course we also pack less healthy snacks for around the fire, whether it’s mak-ing s’mores or passing around a bag of chips. But, like at home, I think it is important that most of our food be nutritious.

Here are some foods that are often found in our camping cooler:

Prepare in advance:· Make and freeze

whole-grain muffins, pancakes, or loaves.

· Pre-measure bags of rolled oats with nuts, seeds and dried fruit to cook on the camp stove.

· Hard boil eggs for protein at breakfast or lunch.

· Cook rice, quinoa or pasta the night be-fore you leave and have it in the first couple of days.

· Make and freeze chili and/or pasta sauce. It will act as ice in the cooler and keep for a couple of days.

· Freeze lean meats or fish with marinade in freezer bags so they are ready for the barbe-cue.

· Make and freeze hamburger patties for the grill. Use ground chicken, turkey or lean, grass-fed beef.

Breakfast ideas: eggs and toast, Greek yogurt with fruit and granola, cold cereal (choose something low in sugar) with milk or yogurt, peanut butter and jam sandwiches

with sliced apples and oranges, oatmeal or packages of plain in-stant oats (just add hot water).

Lunch ideas: whole grain pitas with hum-mus and cut up veg-gies, sandwiches: egg or tuna salad, or veg-gies and cheese on whole grain bread, a hotdog “alternative” with chicken or turkey sausage on a whole-grain bun (choose sau-sages that are lower in sodium and free of preservatives), burri-tos made from leftover chili and grated cheese in wraps.

Dinner ideas: chili and buns, pasta sauce with whole grain noo-dles, lean meat of your choice with a variety of vegetables, grilled veg-gies: toss a variety of

chopped veggies in ol-ive oil with fresh herbs and wrap in tinfoil and grill, try carrots, pota-toes, yams, beets and/or onions, lean ham-burger patties on a whole grain bun

Snacks ideas: whole grain crackers and cheese, apple slices and peanut butter, trail mix: nuts, seeds, dried fruit, chocolate chips, campfire cones: sugar cones, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, chopped strawberries and banana - wrap in tinfoil and grill over the fire.

Now get out there and enjoy the great out-doors!

Happy Birthday, TommyI miss you. ~Love Dad

Grief changes shape, but it never ends.

With great sadness we accept the passing ofour wonderful mother, Barbara Ellen Bruce (neeSpencer). Barbara’s peaceful, final moments were lovingly attended by both her children. She spent her final seven months in the care of the professionalstaff at Bastion Place, Salmon Arm. There truly are angels who walk amongst us. Barbara was 94years old and suffered with Parkinson’s disease.

Predeceased by her three sisters LouiseNewbury, Trudy Felton and Ann Williamson aswell as her brother John Spencer, Barbara will be lovingly remembered by her Son, Andrew Bruce, his wife Jody Bruce, and granddaughter GingerBruce of Kelowna, as well as Barbara’s daughter, Kathleen Bruce of Sorrento. She leaves behind Brother, Victor Spencer of West Vancouver, Sister,Diana Dyer of Ottawa, several nieces, nephewsand many friends - notably, Dr. Kristen Kornienko,whose compassionate care enabled Mom to stay at home as long as possible.

Barbara was an academic who appreciatedmusic, visual arts, history, literature and journalism.Mom was accepted to study piano at the RoyalConservatory of Music in London, but could notattend due to the outbreak of the Second World War. She took English classes at Radcliff/ Harvardfor two years plus a summer, and completedher degree at UBC at home in Vancouver. She was assistant city editor of the Vancouver SunNews Paper during the war and a member of theCanadian Women’s Press Club. Post war, Barbara went to the interior of BC to act as managingdirector for one of her father’s cattle ranches, the Circle S Cattle Company, Dog Creek. There shemet and married our dad, Lawrence Bruce (pre-deceased 2008) They ranched in Pritchard, BCbefore moving to Kelowna to raise their family.

Barbara was a life time member of the Canadian Hereford Association, a member of the Beef CattleGrowers’ Association, as well as former Director of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association, WilliamsLake. She was nominated as a Member of the Senate of the University of British Columbia foryears 1963 – 1966.

Surprisingly shy and reclusive, Barbara was compassionate, empathetic, loving and strong.She abhorred cruelty, stood up for what shebelieved in and spoke her mind. She had terrificcourage and faith.

Mom’s departure from this life has left a hollow place in ours but our hearts are full of beautifulmemories. We give thanks for her loving, knowledgeable influence and guidance, and we accept with joyous gratitude, Mom’s blessedrelease to a higher existence.

Private, family internment. Friends and familycelebration of life to be held in Kelowna at a later, as yet undetermined, date.

BRUCE, BARBARA ELLEN (NEE SPENCER)

Born in Horsens, Denmark on Aug 5, 1920, he died in Salmon Arm on June 22, 2015 at the age of 94 years.

Gunnar immigrated to Canada in 1965 and worked in the construction industry. He is survived by his long-time companion Gertrude Aiple, her children, and grandchildren, and his son Ulrich (Ruth) in Denmark.
