Interior Health Community-based health programs in the Shuswap re- gion have received added support thanks to funding recently provided by Interior Health to local health societies in Sor- rento and Scotch Creek. Email: [email protected] Interior Health has provided $120,000 to the Sorrento and Area Community Health Centre Society and $60,000 to the North Shuswap Health Centre Society to help the socie- ties support the operations of health centres in each commu- nity over the next three years. These health centres are oper- ated by the societies and are a place at which residents can access services, including those of nurse practitioners. The Sorrento Community Health Centre is home to a full-time nurse practitioner, who provides primary care ser- vices to residents in the region. The nurse practitioner has been serving the community since 2013, after the successful application of Interior Health and the Sorrento and Area Community Health Centre Society under the Province’s Nurse Practitioners for B.C. program. Interior Health also offers home health, public health and mental health and sub- stance use services as outreach from Salmon Arm. There are nurse practitioner services one day, twice per month, at the North Shuswap Health Centre in Scotch Creek, provided as an outreach service from the nearby Chase Health Centre. Interior Health also offers home health, public health and mental health and substance use services as out- reach from Chase and Kamloops to the region’s residents. Nurse practitioners play a key role in the delivery of quality patient care throughout British Columbia. They are registered nurses with master’s degrees whose advanced edu- cation, training and skills enable them to assess, diagnose, consult, order diagnostic tests, prescribe, refer to specialists and assist patients in better managing their chronic health conditions. They work independently and as part of a health care team to help deliver high-quality health care services. A significant number of Interior Health’s nurse practi- tioners work in community health centres providing primary health care services. Given increasing demands on today’s health care system, including an aging population and a higher prevalence of DOCK LINE REPLACEMENT chronic diseases, nurse practitioners provide an innovative approach to pri- BOPPRE DIVING VIDEO & PHOTOS mary care service delivery in British SERVING THE SHUSWAP FOR OVER 30 YEARS LIGHT SALVAGE Columbia.

JUNE 2015 THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER 13 Shuswap Watershed Council approves five-year program Submitted by Mike Simpson, MA, RPF At their most recent meeting on May 6th the Shuswap Watershed Council (SWC) unanimously approved a five- year program proposal to address its goals for for water qual- ity and recreation safety. “I’m very pleased to see the level of support from the SWC steering committee for the five-year program,” says Spiders • Rodents • Wasps • Carpenter Ants & More Paul Demenok, Chair of the SWC and CSRD Director for North Shuswap • Sorrento • Blind Bay • Chase • Adams Lk Area ‘C’ South Shuswap. “We’ve been working on this for over a year, and substantial inputs from the public engage- ment process as well as from scientific and technical advi- Don’t forget to check The Norh Shuswap Kicker sors were used to prepare the plan.” on Facebook for reglar updates. The proposal contains activities to span over five years, www.facebook.com/shuswapkicker proposed to commence on April 1st 2016. The average annu- al cost will be about $200,000; this will leverage other cash and in-kind contribu- tions. “The Council will continue to play a role in coordinating water quality moni- toring across the entire Shuswap water- shed. Where it’s noted that there are gaps in monitoring data, the Council will sup- port some additional monitoring activities – this will give us a very good picture of water quality on the lakes and major tribu- taries,” says Erin Vieira, SWC program manager. “With regard to the water pro- tection initiative, the Council will focus on developing a better understanding of the sources of phosphorus pollution in the watershed and will then look for cost- effective ways to mitigate that. It’s taking a collaborative, partnership-based ap- proach to this as the Council does not have regulatory or enforcement authority of any kind.” The recreation safety education com- ponent of the plan will focus on activities and events in the Shuswap for which there is little awareness. The purpose is to help residents and visitors stay safe as they enjoy their leisure activities. “It’s important to note that this pro- gram is driven by scientific results, with the goal of maintaining or improving the quality of water in our watershed,” notes Demenok. “We’re doing this by coordi- nating efforts in order to eliminate dupli- cation and to keep the costs affordable. We now need to finalize our governance structure and funding model to proceed.” The five-year proposal is posted online at www.shuswapwater.ca. 14 THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER JUNE 2015

JUNE 2015 THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER 17 The Celista Coffeehouse Concert Series Presents: Summer Solstice with The Symphony

By Jim Leduc Come and enjoy another relaxing Summer Solstice night with some of the best the Kamloops symphony has to offer. Last year was a great show and this year will be even better! San- dra Wilmot on Violin and Martin Kratky on Cello, both from the Kamloops Sym- phony will perform in concert at the North Shuswap Community Hall on Sunday, June 21st. Doors open at 7:00pm. They will be joined by Special Guest; local com- poser/musician, Sylvain Vallee. Local musician Chris Stevens will join in at the end of the show with some classical banjo. You don't want to miss this show! Tickets are on sale at the Scotch Creek Super Valu and Ross Creek Store in Magna Bay. Admission is $20. For more information call Jim, or visit us on Face- book: "The Celista CoffeeHouse" or "Summer Solstice with The Symphony" Some of the proceeds from the concert will go towards the Celista Coffee House Ninety Day Music Challenge for Kids. This initiative is to support school aged students in the North Shuswap who are interested in exploring music lessons. The Coffee House is offering free music les- sons for ninety days (one lesson a week for twelve weeks). This idea is based on the scientific notion that anything a person does for sixty days changes the brain in positive ways. Music uses all parts of the brain and can help students with all aspects of learning. If you know of a student who would be interested, call Jim at 250 679- 2174. The program resumes in the fall. A BIG thank you to all who have sup- ported the Celista Coffeehouse this past year. Regular CoffeeHouses resume in October.

A capsule wardrobe is simply a small wardrobe (usually between 20-40 pieces per season in- cluding shoes and jackets) where each piece can be worn interchangeably with every other piece. For the record, the idea of reducing my wardrobe to 40 pieces terrified me, but I know from experience that the things that scare me are usually the things worth doing. Cre- ating a capsule encourages you to de- fine your personal style, understand cuts and colours that work for you and best of all, it helps you remove the clut- ter in your closet that no longer serves you (and subsequently some of the clut- ter in your head) The general guidelines for creating your capsule are to try on every item in your closet and ask your- self three questions: 1. Does this fit? Is the colour flattering? Is the cut right for my body? 2. Is this piece right for my lifestyle and the season? 3. Does this piece excite me? Do I feel happy when I wear it? You should be able to answer a definitive yes to all three questions when you keep an article of clothing in your closet. During my research I found that the capsule wardrobe enthusiasts prom- ised more time, less stress, greater self understanding and more creativity throughout the day. Did this sound good to me? Heck yes it did! So I spent (Continued on page 57) JUNE 2015 THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER 57

We often say that life has become too stressful and that when we have free time, laying on the couch is all we can manage. The truth is that spending our leisure time in satisfying pursuits, “fun work,” will refresh us far more than a non-stop marathon of playing Call of Duty. Hobbies can bring you joy, increase your eye for detail, keep your mind sharp, expand your creativity, and can help you learn valuable skills. If you’ve been feeling depressed, restless, or apathetic, maybe you need a hobby to help you feel passionate and fulfilled in life. 64 THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER JUNE 2015 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
