Forest Fires and Fire Fighting

KAMLOOPS - Firefighting personnel from the
United States, Alberta and Ontario are assisting
B.C. fire crews with challenging wildfire activity
in the Interior of the province. Two hundred and
seven experienced and highly trained firefighters,
supervisors and fire specialists arrived August 5th.
This includes eight sustained action unit crews, 10
fire management specialists and three agency
representatives from Alberta and Ontario and
fifteen smoke jumpers from Washington State.
All personnel were placed in the Cariboo and
Prince George Fire Centres, but placement will
also be determined based on fire activity and an-
ticipated need. It is important that some fire-
fighting crews be on standby in all fire centres in
case new fires start.
These firefighting personnel are in addition to
the 250 firefighters and fire specialists that arrived
on Sunday, July 31, bringing the total to 457 out-
of-province personnel. They will be assisting the
more than 1,100 Type 1 and 970 contract and
emergency firefighters from B.C. already in the
field. Additional assistance may be requested if
conditions worsen.
All deployments are co-ordinated through the
Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, with the
Ministry of Forests and Range's Wildfire Manage-
ment Branch paying the costs of the deployments.
Earlier this year, British Columbia sent crews to Dave Edwards
four other jurisdictions to help with their fire-
fighting efforts.
The fire danger rating for 80 per cent of Brit-
ish Columbia is high to extreme. Although cooler
conditions are anticipated, forecasters expect a Complete Drywall Service
return to warm and dry conditions.
There are over 400 wildfires burning in the
province, 74 of which started over a three day Dave Edwards
period. Since April 1, crews around the province Ph/Fax - 250-955-2122
have responded to 1,272 wildfires, of which 513 Cell - 250-318-1704
have been caused by people. These fires have
burned a total of 93,359 hectares, or 933 square
kilometres.
Effective at noon on July 29, campfires
and all open burning are prohibited across
the Kamloops Fire Centre to help prevent
human-caused wildfires. This ban applies to L ANDSCAPING

sure you report your whereabouts by
checking in at your assigned relief cen-
ter. This way, anyone enquiring about
your safety will know where you are.
These centers also offer support for
emergency services. While this can in-
clude funding for food, shelter and
clothing, don't take advantage of the
situation. If all you really need is ac-
commodation and food allowance for a
few days, that's all you should take. If
all you need is to check in, then carry on
with any plans you have made.
Stay away from the area once you
have gone. Particularly in an area like
the North Shuswap with only one main
road, returning can cause major head-
aches for emergency personnel. Again,
you could be putting yourself in danger
and, more importantly, someone else as
well.
We hope that we will come through
this fire season unscathed. Respect the
fire bans and do your best to ensure that
your visitors and neighbours are aware
and respectful.

pared for emergencies, check out

computer. All of this takes about 60 mil-
liseconds. The information is then sent to
Protection.
Forest Service personnel create maps
that show the location, day, and time for
any lightning strike, and these maps let
crews check lightning hot spots for new
wildfires. Information from this system
is also used by fire managers to route
and schedule air patrols and to determine
standby and resource allocation.
Lightning can strike almost any-
where, even as far as 15 kilometres away
from a storm cell, so ground conditions
around the strike may not be affected by
rain. Dry lightning can also occur under
the storm cell when the base of the cloud
is so high that the rain evaporates before
reaching the ground. Dry lightning is a
potent ignition source because if the fu-
els are dry there will not be enough
moisture to interfere with ignition or fire
spread.

Houseboat Accident Update
Leon Reinbrecht has been
identified as the ski boat
driver involved in the July 3
accident in which houseboat
operator Ken Brown was
killed. The ski boat impacted
the houseboat with such force
that it was buried inside the
cockpit of the houseboat, and
Brown ended up inside the
ski boat, where he succumbed
to his injuries.
Documents filed by the
RCMP to obtain blood sam-
ples taken from Reinbrecht
indicated that 27 empty beer
and cooler containers were
found inside the ski boat, and
that a strong smell of liquor
was noted on Reinbrecht's
breath. When asked if he had
been drinking previous to the
accident, Reinbrecht replied
that he drank one beer while
trapped inside the boat after
the accident, as he was
thirsty. Inexplicably, a blood
sample was not taken at RIH.

FIRE NEWS
Submitted by Art Stoll, Dave King & Darlene Volk
From David Baxter, Dave King and
Darlene Volk
There is now a province wide ban
on open fires. A hefty fine of $345 is
the price to be paid for ignoring this
ban.
June and July were quiet for the
Scotch Creek/Lee Creek VFD, with
only two false alarms to report. An-
glemont VFD received a call out to pro-
vide backup support for the First Re-
sponders during the tragic accident after
the Magna Bay Fireworks on July 3rd.
They provided traffic control.
With extra vehicles in the area, in-
cluding passenger vehicles, boats, trail-
ers and recreational vehicles, residents
and visitors should note that no deeded
road (the ones with street signs) should
be blocked by these vehicles. Move
them to a safe place and avoid getting
ticketed!
Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Fire De-
partment would like to thank Dale
Jones, from Diamond Cut Property
Maintenance, for trimming the weeds
at the Fire Hall. We would also like to
thank Mylo's Farm and Garden Sup-
plies for the flowers that grace the
Scotch Creek Fire Hall.
The Anglemont VFD is continually
trying to locate a suitable site along the
Shuswap Lake shoreline in order to
easily refill their tanker. On that note,
they are pleased to recognize Bob Isley
who has granted AVFD access to the
Gem Gravel Products property in
Magna Bay. This provides an ideally
large space available for weekly prac-
AUGUST 2010
tices as well
as access to a
much needed
water source
for filling the
tanker truck
during emergencies.
Celista Chief Darlene Volk is re-
peating her request for access to the
lake for the tanker in Celista. There
was no response to her plea last month.
If you have access to the lake, which
the CVFD could use to fill their tanker
in the event of an emergency, please
contact her at 250-955-6341.
On July 10th a representative for BC
Wildfire and three Rap Attack person-
nel attended a meeting with the An-
glemont department to review the An-
glemont Interface Fire Plan and related
safety issues.
On July 20th Anglemont VFD con-
ducted a tour of the Camp Grafton site
and provided a demonstration of their
fire apparatus for the 40 campers and
20 instructors. From all accounts, the
kids really enjoyed the experience and
the volunteer firefighters were equally
enthused.
To prepare for home evacuation
within 15 minutes, have important pa-
pers and valuables ready to go, 72 hours
worth of food/water on hand, medica-
tions easily located, your gas tank at
least 3/4 full, and clothing for everyone
in the family. Cover windows and re-
move burnables from around your
house. Being prepared saves lives.

As part of the upgrade,

they have the option to rent a

Another issue for Canada Post is
the large number of recreational prop-

say that a person has to reside in a
place for at least 4 consecutive

wards of five enforcement ves-
sels on the water over the
AUGUST 2010
course of the weekend, in addi-
tion to the floating detachment
based at Cinnemousun Nar-
rows Provincial Park. In addi-
tion to enforcing a variety of
public safety legislation it was
an excellent opportunity to be
approached by the boating and
parks users community who
engaged in dialog with us. In
addition to the patrolling ves-
sels, the detachment in essence
was a front counter, where the
public was able to attend to
report lake or park related inci-
dents. This was in addition to
reporting to the nearest RCMP
detachment or via 911 for
emergencies." He further
added, " all of these agencies
were in a very good position to
respond to any emergency or
public safety situation that
arose on Mara and Shuswap
Lakes. Our presence may very
well have averted tragedy and
assisted in lessening the odds

of fatalities or injuries from
occurring".
“We checked 246 boats,
and of those only 4 vessels
were totally compliant,” said
North Okanagan conservation
officer Josh Lockwood, who
took part in the patrol. Consid-
ering that boating safety has
been highly publicized over the
past months, these numbers are
astounding.
Officers issued $16,400
worth of ticket violations, and
issued warnings that would
have totalled another $16,800.
Therefore, there was the poten-
tial for $33,200 in fines on
Shuswap and Mara lakes, in
one weekend alone (all be it a
long one).
Lockwood released the
enforcement unit’s statistics
from the weekend on Tuesday.
Violations included 87 boats
towed to shore for having
safety deficiencies, 36 fishing
violations, 1 drug parapherna-
lia seizure, 2 foreshore devel-
opment damage charges, 2
careless operators of vessels,
several charges of towing with-
out a spotter and a handful of
cases of no operator cards and
no life jackets on board. Of 4
groups spoken to about camp-
fires, 3 were given warnings as
they were incommunicado and
unaware of the campfire ban.
Lockwood expressed the
feeling that the operation went
well. He said, “Depending on
operational dollars and com-
mitment from the agencies, we
will probably explore the op-
portunity to do this more.” For
the safety of all using the lake,
the possibility of more patrols,
perhaps even on a regular ba-
sis, is welcome news.

Noise Bylaw Needed?

By Jan Penner
CSRD Director Denis De-
lisle, in his Director's Report
this month, requests notification
if you feel a Noise Bylaw is in
order for the North Shuswap. It
is unfortunate that lack of com-
mon sense and respect for oth-
ers leads to such a move need-
ing to be considered.
Personally, in the past few
years, we have had someone
close by playing loud music and
making lots of noise in the early
hours of the morning. You
would think that it would be
obvious that many people will
sleep with their windows open
during hot weather and may
wish to sleep during the night.
Hence, they have a right to ex-
pect the neighbours to settle
down at a reasonable hour, say
11:00 p.m.
For those who work out-
doors such as contractors, it
seems reasonable to expect that
they would not start work which
could be loud before let's say,
7:00 a.m. This leaves people
who function during daylight
hours 8 hours of peace.
Recently, in our front yard
at 2:30 a.m., we had a number
of young people, one of whom
declared he was "22 years old",
yelling, swearing and creating a
250-955-0868

down.
We should not need a bylaw Mon to Sat 7 am-8 pm ~ Sun 8 am-8 pm
pertaining to noise. Respect for
others should mean that a quiet 
time can be established without
infringing on others. It is possi-
ble to sit around a campfire all
night long, without having to be
loud and obnoxious. Unfortu-
nately, respect and common
sense are often in short supply.
Without a bylaw, there is often
no recourse to deal with rude,

Newest Winery
Well Received
The Shuswap’s newest
winery in Celista is being
well received by both per-
manent and summer resi-
dents. “Many people have
expressed their surprise and
their pleasure to have a
winery on the North
Shore,” said Jake Ootes,
owner of Celista Estate
Winery. “And of course we
are pleased with their re-
sponse.”
Celista Estate Winery
opened six weeks ago, on
July 2nd. Ootes and his wife
Margaret operate both the
winery and a four-acre
vineyard on their farm in
Celista. “We planted the
first acre of vines eight
years ago and expanded by
an acre each of the next
several years. “It has been a
long haul but now we are
seeing the fruits of our la-
bour, so to speak.”
The winery has four
varieties for sale: three
white - Ortega, Gewurztra-
miner, and a blend called
North American Celista Cuvee - and a red
variety called Marechal

The winery is the most

make sure the grape varie-
ties we planted would do
well at our location,” said
Ootes. One variety did not
work but so far the others
are doing O.K.
“We are looking for-

Hiring a Contractor
By Lynda Pasacreta, President &
CEO, Better Business Bureau of BC
With the dog days of summer
upon us, we have moved our home
remodeling renovation projects out-
side. Whether it is a new roof, a new
paint job, landscaping, tree removal,
plumbing work or new windows, do
your homework on choosing the right
company to do the job. We receive a
lot of calls to our office on businesses
that do not have proper licensing, ex-
perience, incomplete or no contracts,
or they take money and do not com-
plete work.
Some simple steps will save you
money and stress in the long run.
The Better Business Bureau recom-
mends the following:
1. Solicit at least three bids for the
work you are planning, but do not
automatically go for the lowest
offer. Make sure the bids are
based on the same set of specifica-
tions and materials to be used. If
estimates vary, find out why. For
an example, are the materials of
the same quality? Make sure the
contractor has a permanent ad-
dress in your area. A professional
contractor will need time to pre-
pare a detailed estimate and will
not pressure you into making an
immediate decision.
2. Ask for at least 2 local references
and inspect the finished projects.
3. Ensure the contractor is properly
licensed and bonded. The contrac-
tor should provide proof that he is
in good standing with the Work-
ers’ Compensation Board and can
provide third-party liability insur-
ance.
4. Make sure you understand all fi-
nancing and contractual terms and
do NOT sign a contract with sec-
tions left blank. If this work is a
major job, have your bank call the
contractor’s bank to clarify his
financial standing. Don’t make
final payment until the work is
completed.
AUGUST 2010
5. Get a written contract on company
letterhead with a complete price
quotation including; a description
of the work to be done, the start
and completion date, the quality of
the materials to be used, and any
guarantees or warranties, the total
cost with a breakdown of labour
and material charges and a pay-
ment schedule. Put down no more
than 10-15% of the total cost as a
deposit when the contract is
signed. If the contractor asks for
more than 10-15% ask why and
satisfy yourself that the request is
reasonable. Custom orders may
require a larger deposit.
6. Be sure the written contract spells
out who is responsible for getting
building permits and approvals.
7. Do NOT sign a contract unless
you have done all of the above and
you know who will be responsible
for the actual work done. Never
sign a contract with sections left
blank.
8. Because most homeowner’s fire
and liability insurance does not
cover construction-related risks,
contact your insurance company
before construction begins to in-
form them about your project and
make arrangements for any addi-
tional coverage needed.
9. You must withhold 10% of the
total cost upon completion of the
work for 55 days. This will pro-
tect you, should liens be placed
against your home.
10. Homeowners who act as their own
contractors for building or renova-
tion projects must also set up a
trust fund for these holdbacks.
Contact your financial institution
for assistance.
11. BE SUSPICIOUS of any contrac-
tor who approaches you at your
home claiming that he can give
you a cut-rate price because he has
leftover material, or that your roof
looks hazardous and needs imme-
diate repairs, or that he will pay

12. If you sign a contract with a direct
seller (door-to-door), you have 10
days in which to cancel the con-
tract. Notify the contractor of can-
cellation in writing by using Can-
ada Post registered mail. Do NOT
allow work to commence until
after the 10-day cancellation pe-
riod has expired.

Rookie Board Preps for
2010 Salmon Run
From David Baxter
Like the sockeye ex-
pected in late September,
this year’s board of the Ad-
ams River Salmon Society
will be making its first run
up the Adams, hopefully to
spawn a first class celebra-
tion in the “Salute to the
Sockeye”. According to
President Sonja Vernon-
Wood, they will need many
volunteers to compliment
this year’s board.
“We need volunteers,
plain and simple, said Sonja
at a recent board meeting at
the log cabin in Haig-Brown
Park. As a board we have
been running hard all sum-
mer, but now we need citi-
zens who would like to
make this a world-class
event that we believe it can
be. We could see upwards
of 150,000 visitors to the
park!”
She pointed out that stu-
dent Justin Rademacher has
been and will be very help-
ful during the July and Au-
gust period, welcoming visi-
tors to the park and inform-
ing them of the upcoming
salmon run. “In this last run
up period, we need a hun-
dred “Justins.”
Hardest worker on the
volunteer board (besides
President Sonja) is Sandra
Spicer who keeps track of
all our minutes and work
related stuff. If you want to
know what was said or who
was delegated, Sandra is
your friend. WANT TO
VOLUNTEER? REGISTER

Don Cavers knows
where all the old and new
tools are, not to mention the

picnic tables. A holdover
from the previous board is
Blair Acton (also of Hostel
fame). Blair will help our
student Justin to learn about
the bats that inhabit the Haig
-Brown Park, before passing
along that information to
visitors. Added to those du-
ties, Blair is organizing the
artisans who will grace the
actual salute with crafty of-
ferings from the Shuswap.
Jim Cooperman will take
the lead in the Opening
Ceremonies and is also or-
ganizing the Song Contest
that will salute the Sockeye!

MDR (to prevent contamination from the

ile OR and start a “Case Cart System”
(computing tracking system for equip-
ment). The estimated cost is 11 million
dollars but IHA is requesting the TRB
contribute $4.4 million, which was
passed. Though the amount cannot be
provided for in the 2010 budget there is
the ability to borrow money over a pe-
riod of 5 years.
The Vice President of Tertiary Ser-
vices gave a report on the urgent need
for upgrades in RIH MDR system. The
intended outcome will be to ensure ster-
ile equipment, improve work flow, work
space, change over, efficiency and pro-
vide the ability to handle further need for
the MDR. The RIH is the 6th largest hos-
pital in IHA. It has one of the longest
wait lists in BC, but there is a plan ad-
dress this. Data on hospital dying data
rate suggests that RIH is in lower than
BC average rates (in 2004 it was 107 per
100,000). It is now in the low 80s per
thousand (BC is in the 100 per 100,000

Again we discovered tonnes
of great new juvenile litera-
ture.
It turns out that Jarrett
Krosoczka has another hi-
larious book called "My
Buddy Slug". A subject
search of the word 'dinosaur'
brought in all kinds of neat
books, including another all
time favorite,
"Tyrannosaurus Drip"; a
search of the illustrator's
name (David Roberts)
brought in more gems, like
"Mrs. Crump's Cat" and
"Dumpster Diver". We
found plenty of books by
my daughter's favorite au-
thor/illustrator, Debi Gliori,
including the darkly accu-
rate allegory, "The Trouble
With Dragons".
Every week we pick up
the new discoveries my hus-
band has found plus a few
old stand-bys too. Not long
ago I was reading to the kids
- (what else!) - on the couch
when I heard my husband
scream from where he was
typing on the computer. The
kids and I whipped around
expecting to hear that
Dickey Betts was coming
back to the Allman Brothers
or something equally earth-
shattering.
'There's a new Olivia
book', he said, '"Olivia in

'That's great Sweetie', I
said, forcing a broad smile.
But I am a bit concerned.
Perhaps we need to get out
more - to some place other
than the library.

Open Mike Nights and
Friday Summer Concerts
By Lynn Erin
As I write this Sylvain is preparing
for his eighth summer concert including
our Opening and the 2 Open Mike
Nights and his regular Friday Night
Concerts. We now have "regulars" and
the Early Friday Night concerts are go-
ing over very well.
Our next Open Mike Night will be
on the third Friday of the month Aug.
20th, at 7 pm. It will be on the lawn,
weather permitting, with a smaller ver-
sion inside if the weather is not cooper-
ating.
Again our goal is not only to enter-
tain the locals but also to showcase our
fine local talent to our visitors from all
over the world.
Keeping the evenings moving,
with great equipment, and hours of set
up and take down, is Sylvain who has
received a Standing Ovation for one of
his solo Classic Rock Evenings here.
Last month we had the pleasure

kind of concern about the
neighbourhood.
Recently, I became
aware of some insane and

unsafe situations faced by
our local firefighters.
The Regional District, in
its wisdom, has identified
Scotch Creek as a good
place to encourage high
density development in the
new Community Plan. The
planners with their vast ex-
pertise are recommending
that no development would
exceed four stories! Cur-
rently, our tiny volunteer
fire hall doesn’t have the
equipment it would need to
fight a fire at existing devel-
opments that are only three
stories nor does it have the
capacity to get it’s equip-
ment into some of the new
residential and condo devel-
opments due to lack of at-
tention to road accesses.
In other places on the
North Shuswap, fire trucks
cannot get down shared
driveways because they are
inaccessible to fire trucks
year round. In August, the
entire area is a tinder box
waiting for one careless
mistake. We discovered in
our neighbourhood that the
original developer put in a
couple of working fire hy-
drants but all the others are
only decoration. In other
words, there may be a fire
hydrant on your corner but
maybe it’s not hooked up to
a source of water.

Parks Questionnaire
Most local people will
not be aware, but should
know that CSRD have
placed lengthy question-
naires at the North Shore
Parks to be completed by
visitors to the parks. Ap-
parently, these have been
prepared by summer stu-
dents. While many of us
might be pleased to see this
consultation process, I fear
that its design is skewed
towards ensuring that the
parks function, and its cost,
will grow inappropriately.
Most of the questions
relate to obtaining the visi-
tor’s views as to how they
want the parks’ services to
be expanded. Residents can
also complete the question-
naire electronically. I doubt
that many will do so.
One of the questions
asks how much a taxpayer
would be willing to have
their property taxes in-
creased annually to satisfy
the apparent hunger for
more park facilities. You
can tick off the box indicat-
ing $100 if you want to.
Imagine what would happen
to annual tax increases if
each CSRD department, out
of context, also asked this
question separately to tax-
payers.
A more fair and objec-
tive question would be to
ask as to how much a tax-
payer would like their over-
all annual tax increase to be,
and then to rank a list of
priorities to which this extra
money might be allocate.
Park improvements would
be low on the list.
At the same time, our
lake is under huge environ-
mental stress. No single
government department will
accept responsibility for
AUGUST 2010
ensuring its sustainability.
No summer students can be
allocated to even identifying
septic tank pollution flow-
ing directly into the lake.
Priorities are backwards.
Here are some park
questions of another nature.
Why did CSRD officials
leave the high quality float-
ing dock at Magna Bay
Wharf Park unprotected all
winter, bashing against the
ground and rocks, to the
extent that it required a
diver and heavy transporta-
tion to obtain repairs? Why
did a CSRD official tell me
that the dock had a “flaw”
in it … while the vendor
confirmed to me that negli-
gence had caused the dock
to have been damaged and
partly submerged? How
many of CSRD’s many
other park docks suffered
similarly?
Last year at Ross Creek
Park, much of the rope,
marking the swimming
area, lay tangled on the
beach for most of the sum-
mer. This summer, no
ropes have been installed at
either of the Magna Bay
Parks … just the buoys.
Why? Why has the new
expensive sign denoting the
Magna Bay Community
Park been installed so that it
does not face oncoming
traffic? This park has been
greatly de-naturalized with
15 signs and 5 notices. For
two summers now, the large
rocks at the park, denoting
the path for boats to be
launched, have been re-
moved so that ATVs and
vehicles can drive onto the
beach. Why?
After two years, at my
persistence, CSRD have
(Continued on page 43)
 AUGUST 2010 THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER 43

(Continued from page 42) October, and you will find

finally removed signs that
requested park visitors, if
they had queries, to call a
Park Official … who had
died two years ago. Is this
competent management?
Also, two years ago, I put
two of the rarely used dog-
gie bags offered at the
parks, in a drawer. They
remain un-degraded, in per-
fect condition. Are you
surprised? Greenwashed
again.
Last Spring, CSRD
signed another contract re-
quiring daily maintenance
of the small parks in the
North Shuswap. Take a
visit to any of these parks in
May, June, September, and
almost no one there … ex-
cept the contractor. Even if
the contractor visited the
parks every second day,
and this would even be too
frequent, 50% of the main-
tenance costs could be
saved and put to better use.
CSRD do not need any
more funding for park man-
agement.
Folks, if you do not
want your taxes to acceler-
ate due to low priority park
improvements requiring
increased expensive CSRD
staff, then it’s up to
you to complete a
questionnaire.
Steve Connolly,
Magna Bay

Response to Denis Delisle Directors Report

This is in response to Denis Delisle report on the ap-
proval of another Development Variance Permit in the
June issue of The Kicker (p.4, CSRD Director's Report -
"The DVP is for a resident to build a hobby shop in the
Scotch Creek area, 147% larger than permitted in the
zoning".). While it is correct it is vague.
The facts are as follows: The requested size of the
shop is 185.58m2 (1997.6 sqft) the allowable under the
bylaw is 75m2 (807.32 sqft) with the height of 7.62 m
(25 ft) with the allowable under the bylaw being 6m
(19.69 ft).Under the bylaws, as a home base business, the
property owner is required to have everything undercover
which he has been in non compliance for many years. Six
property owners at the rear of the property, where the
shop is to be built, objected to the size but it was still
passed as submitted. I won’t go into everything here as a
full letter of reply was sent to the CSRD, [you may]
email me at kkhall@live.com and I will forward a copy.
If you are unhappy with the size of variance permits
being issued or the way Scotch Creek and area are pro-
gressing please email Denis Delisle at denis-
gold@gmail.com and the Advisory Planning Committee
as they are responsible for the initial approval of these
permits. Their emails are as follows: beis-

I spend a lot of time researching our real estate market. That’s what I do at the
office at 6 a.m. most mornings.
It is very clear that the bottom of this market cycle was in February 2009. It has
statistically improved since then but the recovery has been slow.
W hen I review the previous 3 market cycles the pattern is clear. The bottom of
those cycles is always down to the same level because zero is zero.
T he market recovery has always started with lower priced residential listings.
That is what has happened in the past and that is what is going on today. Most
offers and Buyers interest is at the bottom, it’s a good sign. As consumer
confidence grows the interest in other listings will grow.
T he market peaks are always higher than the previous peak. We are past the
bottom and moving toward another peak. The peaks tend to be about 7 years
apart, so it looks like the next 6 years will see growth in our market. However, I
have told you before and I will tell you again, the minute I think I have it all figured
out … it changes!

250-833-5634 Some of the comments included con-
shuswaphousesitters@gmail.com cerns about the densities being too high, a
wish to maintain the ‘rural character’ with
lower density, infrastructure/emergency
services not in place yet, density too high
(no reason given) and questions as to
where people will come from to fill these
Responses included that densities
lower than 3-5 per acre would be classi-
fied as ‘rural residential' and would not
make communal water and sewer viable.
It is possible to have development in
Scotch Creek at proposed densities and
still help preserve the overall rural charac-
ter of the North Shuswap. Also, a range
of housing types & densities increases
housing affordability. Designation as
higher densities does not mean that this
development will automatically happen or
happen all at once. When there is the
need, the most appropriate areas will be
then developed for infilling with semi-
detached, duplex and multi-family dwell-
ings.
Other general comments from the
public on density and growth were: de-
velop slowly and incrementally; cluster
development to ensure more green space;
incorporate multi-unit into various areas;
need to attract permanent year-round resi-
dents not just tourists; no more RV parks;
need for seniors and affordable housing
close to core, no carriage houses should
be permitted. The consultants working on
the plan were in agreement with all the
general comments except the comment
about carriage houses. Carriage houses
(or other secondary suites, like a base-
ment suite or granny flat) can provide a
good method of infill in appropriate
places. They also add to affordable hous-
ing and can serve as mortgage helpers.
They're also limited in how big they can
be, so it's not like putting in another house

Around the commercial core, there
was support for building around existing

impacted in relation to growth as well as
increased crime.

On community character, comments
recorded included a wish to keep a quiet
rural community; not become a resort
community; maintain heritage; don’t clear
-cut vegetation; beautify/clean up some
areas of Scotch Creek. Design guidelines
will address many of these comments.
On ALR/farmland, comments sup-
ported keeping land within the ALR and
promoting community-based vegetables
and other local produce. The plan does not
recommend any exclusions and provides
for a number of agri-uses.
On transportation, people mentioned a
bypass road along north boundary of base
of mountain and Scotch Creek bridge re-
quires widening or signals (NOTE: roads
and bridges fall outside the scope of the
SCNOCP, as they are under Ministry of
Transportation and Infrastructure jurisdic-
tion). A bypass road is currently not rec-
ommended in this NOCP.
On open space, there is a need to pro-
vide safe and ample walking and cycling
options, off-highway, trail access to
beach, funding for maintenance and ex-
pansion of parks, development of a spe-
cial pass for locals to use the Provincial
Park, create regional waterfront park with
boat launch, link open space to Crown
land for human and wildlife connectivity
and a concern with the number of buoys.

Fifteen members of the North
Shuswap Naturalists Club went to Sil-
Associate Broker ver Star in Vernon last month and had
a great hike to the Chairlift which took
the group to the top of the moun-
tain and then it was down the moun-
tain on a newly carved path - not so
steep as the old one. It took about an
hour to come down so it was probably
about three kilometers. The weather
was great - not too hot to be hiking.
A friend had a pair of Crows show
up at her house three years ago and she
started feeding them peanuts on her
balcony and the male became quite
unafraid and would return every day

commented “I would like to
thank all of the volunteers,
businesses and those who
donated the auction items, I
wish I could name them
individually but with the
great number of people who
helped out it would be im-
possible, and it never would
have been such a success
with out everyone’s help”
A great time was had by
all, with great fun in the Ill- Serving the North Shuswap

Community Open House Notice

North Shuswap Land and Foreshore Zoning Bylaws
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
Seymour Arm Community Hall (11am-1pm)
and
North Shuswap Community Hall in Celista (6:30pm-9pm)
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District invites all property owners to attend an open house to verify land use data
collected last summer. This data will be used for a new North Shuswap-wide zoning bylaw (including Celista,
Seymour Arm, Adams Lake, St. Ives and those areas already zoned).
This open house will also present planned foreshore and water zones that will regulate docks & buoys on Shuswap
Lake.
Property owners will be able to view posters showing the proposed zones and speak with staff. This is a drop-in open
house, with no formal presentation.
Those unable to attend the meeting will be able to review the information and submit comments via the CSRD
website (www.csrd.bc.ca) starting in August.

DARE TO DREAM
By Bev Shea
We all have problems in
life. Some big, some small.
We may have difficulty
getting along with members
of our family or someone at
work.
We may find ourselves
uncertain about our future,
our finances or our health.
Whatever problem we may
be facing it is actually an
opportunity.
Our greatest problems
can become our greatest
opportunities.
Remember that we are
spiritual beings on a human
journey and the reason we
are here is to develop spiri-
tually. We can not do this
by running away from life,
the way to grow is to meet
the challenges that life
gives us. Any difficulties
that come to us at any time
must be what we need most
to enable us to grow by
overcoming them. The only
real tragedy would be to
suffer without learning the
lesson that we need to
learn.
Sometimes events seem
to have a life of their own
and we are left wondering
what happened and why did
it happen that way. Now it
AUGUST 2010
is important for us to reflect
honestly on the situation
and see if with hindsight
we can see a more positive
way of dealing with the
situation.
Look at the challenge as
an opportunity and find the
lesson that you need to
learn. Don’t waste this op-
portunity, because if you
don’t learn the lesson this
time, you can be sure that
life will give you the op-
portunity to learn it again.
Your life is your labora-
tory and the world is your
workshop. It is always
good to try an experiment.
Take a single problem that
you are experiencing this
month and change the way
you think about it. Keep
your mind changed about
this problem for the whole
month. Consciously work
on staying positive - see
this problem not as a prob-
lem but an opportunity.
If you keep your
thoughts positive you will
not have to wait a month
for results.
Remember that miracle
follows miracle and won-
ders never cease and that’s
the way it is.

The Half-Acre Homestead SCUBA DIVER

Can you do the can can?
By Krystel Saunders
With all the summer
company, my house is quite
crowded and things get
pretty hectic at times. That's
when everyone gets kicked
outside to go for a walk and
burn off some steam. The
trick is to keep them busy
to avoid hearing the other b
-word, (Bored). I've been
putting all those eager
hands to work picking ber-
ries and boy that bucket
fills up before anyone real-
izes they are having so
much fun. So far, we have
collected strawberries, cher-
ries, wild cherries, red cur-
rants, and Saskatoon ber-
ries. I froze the strawber-
ries that we didn't eat right
away, and the cherries too,
after pitting them with my
handy-dandy cherry stoner!
I made a batch each of red
currant and wild cherry
sauce for pancakes and ice
creams. The sauces were
delicious, so with total con-
fidence, I cooked up all the
saskatoons with the rest of
the red currants to attempt
jelly.
All morning long, we
boiled, mashed and

when, toast in hand, I
opened the first jar to dis-

What is that clever little
saying about lemons and
lemonade? Anyway, I now
have 16 jars of beautiful,
homemade, red currant-

tastes great with soda or
frozen into popsicles.
Does anyone have some
good advice on how to

Someone has well said; “Your

possessions. Don’t lose it”. None of
us need to look very far to see the

ANGER WON’T FIX IT-
SELF...like a flat tire or dirty diaper.
I read about an eagle that swooped
to the ground one day, catching a
weasel in its powerful talons. But
when it flew away, its wings inex-
plicably went limp and it dropped to
the ground like a lifeless doll. As it
turned out, the weasel had bitten its
attacker in midflight, killing the

proud eagle as it flew. If we cling to
an attitude of anger or jealousy, it
will, like the weasel, sink its teeth
into us when we least expect it.
The Bible has a lot to say about
anger and its devastating results. It
also tells us how we can exercise
victory over it, with help from the
One, “Who is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in
mercy.” (Psalm 103.8)
Is it time for you to start trusting
the only One who can help you?
