# Workers survey the damage after CP Rail train cars loaded with coal jumped the tracks Monday at 5:30 a.m. in Canoe. One of the tracks was reopened by late Monday afternoon.

Crews work to clean up coal spill CP Rail: Determining a cause of the derailment could take weeks or months. By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF

Both sets of train tracks are back in operation after train cars loaded with coal derailed Monday morning in Canoe. Cleanup of the dumped dark debris, however, is expected to be finished today or early next week. The derailment occurred on April 30 at 5:30 a.m. Ten cars at the rear of a 124-car westbound train carrying coal went off the tracks, with three cars dumping their load just before the

50th Street railway crossing. One set of tracks was opened late Monday afternoon. CP Rail spokesperson Kevin Hrysak wouldn’t speculate on the cause of the derailment, but said an investigation is ongoing. “These investigations can take anywhere from two weeks to upwards of a year before they come back with a determination,” says Hrysak. “So at the present moment it’s still under investigation.” Hrysak noted there were

no injuries and there was no risk to the surrounding community. Salmon Arm Fire Chief Brad Shirley said Monday that representatives from the Ministry of Environment were expected to investigate because the train knocked over a fire hydrant, and water from it flowed into Shuswap Lake. Hrysak says it is standard procedure for MOE to be notified, and he confirmed Wednesday that no coal was found to have made it into the lake. City of Salmon Arm staff shut down water to the hy-

drant about 6 a.m. This left residents on the north side of the tracks, along the foreshore, without water until the scene was cleaned up later that day. Fire crews from Salmon Arm and Canoe remained onsite throughout the morning to monitor the situation, as the derailment also impacted a hydro line, temporarily knocking out power, and also broke open a natural gas meter. Among places affected by the power outage was the city’s water treatment

plant. Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, said staff were initially quite concerned about how long the outage would last, so a notification was issued asking residents to conserve water. However, the power was restored by 9 a.m., causing no problems with water treatment. People living in foreshore cabins north of the tracks on 75th were without water for the longest, Niewenhuizen See Water on page 2

Resident reports concern to CP By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF

At least one Canoe resident is grateful Monday’s train derailment didn’t turn out worse than it did. Debbie Lovestone, who has lived in Canoe since February, says she only heard a loud “clunk” at 5:30 Monday morning when 10 train cars loaded with coal went off the tracks. Though the power went out, Lovestone says she didn’t initially realize the noise or the outage was caused by the derailment. And, when she learned what had happened, Lovestone was immediately grateful no major harm had come of it. “When they say minor miracle, it was a major miracle, I think, the way it happened, that it was low speed and coal rather than gas,” says Lovestone. Lovestone’s reaction stems, in part, to concerns she has with the speed and weight of trains going through

her neighbourhood over the past two months. “The speed was excessive, and the weight seemed to be – whether it was a combination of the weight and the speed, our house shook. Our heavy, heavy furniture, it would shake… it was like an earthquake.” Lovestone has com-

says traffic is now slow going, similar to how it was a few weeks back when work was being done on the tracks for a city sanitation line. “I talked to the workmen and said, ‘wow, the trains are amazingly slow.’ And they said, ‘we’ve asked them to go slow because we’re working here.’ And that’s when it clued in

“It’s a warning – it’s a warning to pay attention to that area and keep everybody safe.” - Debbie Lovestone

municated her concerns to CP. She says she was told they would look into it, they appreciate calls from residents, and if something was off, they would investigate. Since the derailment, only one of the two tracks has been open to traffic, and Lovestone

for me, they don’t need to go that fast and they shouldn’t be going that fast in a residential area.” CP spokesperson Kevin Hrysak acknowledges having seen an email relating to Lovestone’s concerns, and said CP is following up on it. However, he said

speed and train weights are not anything out of the ordinary. “Some trains have gotten longer over the years, in that regard, but with the distributed power that they have… with locomotives at various spots among the cars actually puts less wear and tear on the trackage and the cars – they’re like a buffer.” The time of day or night have no impact on speeds, Hrysak explains, and the permissible speed is always the same. That said, there are variables based on traffic, signals, etc, that determine a train’s speed. “If a train’s there on a meet at Canoe with another train, it could be coming in slower into Canoe to meet that train, as opposed to a train that just has clear signals… it would be going track speed. Just because trains are going different speeds through there doesn’t mean they are speeding or we’ve increased

Water temporarily cut off Continued from front said, because water was shut off to the hydrant that was sheared off by the derailment. Sewage treatment was also unaffected. Three lift stations pumping sew-

age in the vicinity of the derailment were set up with generators, while two vacuum trucks were used to suck up sewage and deposit it in the lines closer to the downtown sewage treatment plant.

Hrysak said CP’s first responders and operational personnel were on site as well, assessing the situation while assuring all necessary precautions were taken before cleanup commenced. “We’re co-operating

with all of the agencies involved,” said Hrysak. “The cause of the incident has yet to be determined, but safety is our top priority so we will be conducting a full investigation into not only the cause, but what led to it as well.”

Emergency Response #RCMP officers and Emergency Response Team members respond to an armed standoff at the Royal Bank in Chase on Thursday, April 26. Upon arrest, police report that the man had sustained self-inflicted, non-life-threatening injuries and was transferred to the waiting ambulance crew for assessment. He was then transported by police to hospital for further assessment. Police searched the bank, confirming the man had been alone and the device he had been carrying was a mock-up resembling an IED or improvised explosive device. Investigators also found a knife and gun, and confirmed that the firearm was a pellet gun that closely resembled a semiautomatic handgun. Police say the man has a previous criminal record. In the news release, Chase RCMP expressed their gratitude and support for the staff of the bank for their handling of the situation, victim assistance staff, community agencies, surrounding businesses and the public for their co-operation.

Man shot at Malakwa grow op A 36-year-old Malakwa man was shot in the neck early Saturday as he tried to stop the rip-off of a marijuana grow operation. Although the injury was considered serious, report police, it was not life-threatening. In a news release issued Tuesday morning, Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, spokesperson for the RCMP’s Southeast District, reported that the man drove himself to Vernon Jubilee Hospital about 3:30 a.m. Saturday for treatment of a single gunshot wound. There, hospital

staff notified police. “The man’s initial account of how he suffered the injury was questioned by investigators, who determined after further investigation that the individual had not disclosed that the shooting was the result of being the target of a marijuana grow operation rip off,” states Moskaluk. “It was eventually learned that the man had confronted a group of suspects on his property late Friday night, early Saturday morning and was shot by one of the suspect males with a handgun.

The injured man stated he was given first aid by the intruders and held captive for a short period...” Then the intruders took off and the man drove himself to hospital. Police say they’re confident that the shot was a drug-related, targeted attack. The investigation is ongoing by members of both Vernon and Sicamous detachments, with the assistance of the Southeast District General Investigation Section. If you have any in-

Liberals get a glimpse of their future Barring major unforeseen events, the NDP will likely win the next election. That was made clear in two recent by-elections. The NDP won Port Moody-Coquitlam by a sizeable margin. The real surprise and key result was in Chilliwack-Hope, where the NDP won a seat they have never held. Gwen O’Mahony took the seat in a three-way fight, with the BC Liberal vote melting away, and the resurgent BC Conservatives coming third with 25 per cent of the vote. So the Liberals, in the course of three years, lost more than half their support, with a large proportion of that going to the BC Conservatives, whose candidate John Martin got 3,548 votes. There is another factor – the voter turnout. In the 2009 election, 16,865 votes were cast in Chilliwack-Hope. Last Thursday, despite the scrutiny this race has been under, and numerous visits by the premier and other party leaders, 14,013 people voted. That means more than 2,800 stayed home — likely because they wouldn’t vote for the Liberals, and did not want to vote for anyone else. If the Liberals can convince most of those people to come back to them in the next election, the Liberals will win these kinds of seats. However, the vote splits in other ridings put the NDP in position to form the next government. The Liberals won a number of seats in 2009 by narrow margins, with little or no Conservative opposition. If the Liberals can convince enough disaffected voters to come back to them, they will keep some traditional strongholds. But unless their political fortunes improve drastically, in three-way election fights they will lose many of their seats. – Black Press

OPINION

Learning about nature and respect (Part one of a two-part column) Over the past 40 years or so of writing about the outdoors and, more specifically, the past 16 years of writing The Great Outdoors column which appears in the Shuswap Market News, I have generally made it a point not to respond to people who either take exception to or disagree with what I write. If memory serves me well, I think I have only responded twice. In both incidents it was, quite simply, because I was wrong about something I had written. I am at least old enough, if not wise enough, to know when I am wrong. I also like to think that I am big enough to admit to it when I am wrong. Be that as it may, I have decided to respond to yet another letter to the editor about one of my columns and the subject of fishing in McGuire Lake. In actual fact, the basic premise of my April 29 column was about respect for nature. However, in his most recent letter to the editor,

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray Mr. Tom Crowley suggests that in my discourse about respect for nature, I inexplicably omitted to include respect for fish. I should mention here that I personally have tremendous respect for Mr. Crowley. I have known him for pretty well as long as I have lived in Salmon Arm and although we may not always agree on everything, I do respect both his opinions and his knowledge. Over the years we have talked about various issues and I must say that I have learned a great deal from those conversations. Like I say, I respect what he has to say and would not dismiss his opinions without at least giving them

some thought and consideration. As I wrote in my column last week, I have always tried to show respect for nature. Just being out in nature is, for me, to be a part of nature. As a kid I spent much of my time wandering along the banks of a creek that flowed not far from my home and I also admit to squandering much of my youth casting a line to fish in that creek. I fondly remember spending many hours there with my father, talking and learning about the wonders of nature, both great and small, that surrounded us. Even now, I enjoy just sitting out in my boat, watching the dragonflies buzz in and out among the reeds. I derive a simple pleasure from listening to songbirds and watching eagles and ospreys soar high in the sky above. And yet, with all that I have written about the outdoors, it is still hard to put into words things like the sense of loneliness I feel when I hear the cry of a loon as it calls out across the lake or the sense of wonder I feel as I watch flocks of ducks

and geese honking their way across the autumn sky. As for the stocked fish in McGuire Lake: I concur that it is an unnatural process in an unnatural environment. The sole value of the fish stocking program lies in the fact that it provides a certain number of kids (and kids together with their parents) with an opportunity to at least experience fishing. In an ideal world, we would not have altered our natural environment to the degree that we have. We would live in harmony with nature. But that is not reality. Sadly, there now exists a disconnect between many young people and nature. What one fails to understand, one invariably fails to respect. I believe that the disconnect between young people and nature cannot be mended unless we provide opportunities for young people to experience nature. McGuire Lake should not be about fishing or not fishing, but rather about experiencing and learning about nature – and respect for nature.

Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the respect accorded to fish? Much thanks are due James Murray for his recent column on â&#x20AC;&#x153;McGuire Lake fishing.â&#x20AC;? He speaks sensitively and correctly, I believe, about the respect that we all should have for McGuire Lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Painted Turtles, and, as well, on the respect that anglers and non-anglers should have for each other. In other

columns, Murray has written with obvious respect for his beloved canine companions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and dragonflies, among other wonders of the natural world. It would be good for us all to take his words on respect to heart. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m puzzled! James inexplicably omits respect for the elephant-in-the-room at McGuire Lake â&#x20AC;&#x201C; namely the unnaturally stocked

fish, doomed by an imposed physiologically toxic, high-temp water, and by recreational catching. Somehow, the fish donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify for our respect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an interesting and revealing ethical deletion! I look forward to James explaining the reason(s) for this disqualification of fish from receiving our respect. It seems that if

turtles, dragonflies, companion animals and people all merit and deserve respect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then why not fish? Over to you, James: your ethical guidelines for our respectful behaviour towards nature, and especially McGuire Lake fish-stocking, are awaited with great interest. Tom Crowley

Thursday, April 19, as part of The Citizens for Safe Technology, I attended the monthly directors meeting at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District in Salmon Arm to observe the BC Hydro presentation on smart meters. Several days before the meeting, all directors were given five specific questions to be expressed to BC Hydro delegates after their presentation. These are the five concerns: 1. In their pamphlet, BC Hydro claims that

â&#x20AC;&#x153;after research and testing, BC Hydro has selected technology that exceeds the most rigorous safety standards in the world.â&#x20AC;? What research did BC Hydro perform, to make sure that the smart meters are safe to the public? Cite the findings and researchers involved. Were the routers, which are part of the hardware, included in these tests? 2. How will BC Hydro protect their customers with EMF hypersensitivities from

electromagnetic waves entering their residences? 3. How will BC Hydro deal with customers who face sudden, unusually high consumption readings? 4. How can BC Hydro claim that rates will be kept low, when rates went up seven per cent on April 1, 2012 with more increases on the horizon? 5. How will BC Hydro protect their installations from unwanted hacking? None of the 11 CSRD

directors addressed questions 1, 2 and 4, while questions 3 and 5 received only a vague reply. Just as at the Salmon Arm council meeting, the public wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to ask any questions to BC Hydro representatives. I am utterly disgusted and disappointed by the blatant disregard demonstrated by our elected representatives towards their constituentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns.

As always, the second Saturday in May is the opening day. This year, that is May 12. A favourite in the Shuswap among residents, visitors and vendors, it operates every Saturday morning, 8 to noon, through to Thanksgiving weekend at Sorrento Shoppers’ Plaza on the Trans-Canada Highway. As the world becomes greener and we all become more conscious of the superior quality of product that has been grown locally, we can more than ever appreciate the opportunity to purchase from local farmers. Local products are fresher, have travelled a short distance to get to you, and are generally pesticide and preservative free. Those are just some of the good reasons to visit your local farmers market. You support small family farms and local artisans, you meet the farmer and the artist. While the Sorrento Market celebrates its 13th season of operation, the village of Sorrento celebrates its 100th birthday.

Supermoon Skywatchers take note: The biggest full moon of the year is due to arrive this weekend. The moon will officially become full Saturday, May 5 at 8:35 p.m. And because this month’s full moon co-

incides with the moon’s perigee — its closest approach to Earth — it will also be the year’s biggest. The moon will swing in 221,802 miles (356,955 kilometres) from our planet, offering skywatchers a spectacular view of an extra-big, extra-bright moon, nicknamed a su-

permoon. And not only does the moon’s perigee coincide with full moon this month, but this perigee will be the nearest to Earth of any this year, as the distance of the moon’s close approach varies by about three per cent, according to meteorologist Joe Rao, SPACE.com’s skywatching columnist. This happens because the moon’s orbit is not perfectly circular. This month’s full moon is due to be about 16 per cent brighter than average. In contrast, later this year on Nov. 28, the full moon will coincide with apogee, the moon’s farthest approach, offering a particularly small and dim full moon. Though the unusual appearance of this month’s full moon may be surprising to some, there’s no reason for alarm, scientists warn. The slight distance difference isn’t enough to cause any earthquakes or extreme tidal effects, experts say. However, the normal tides around the world

(250) 803-1175

will be particularly high and low. At perigee, the moon will exert about 42 per cent more tidal force than it will during its next apogee two weeks later, Rao said. The last supermoon occurred in March 2011. To view this weekend’s supermoon to best effect, look for it just after it rises or before it sets, when it is close to the horizon. There, you can catch a view of the moon behind buildings or trees, an effect which produces an optical illusion, making the moon seem even larger than it really is.

Salmon crusader visits region SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman Wild salmon are clearly the Shuswapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most iconic species, as not only did these fish help sustain the Secwepemc people for countless generations but also salmon connect our region to the Coast as well as to a sizeable portion of the rest of the province. Although habitat destruction has contributed to significant declines in some parts of our watershed, both the Adams and Shuswap rivers, along with other streams, continue to often have bountiful returns of both sockeye and Coho salmon. But even these runs

are not consistently healthy, as many issues plague the salmon from overfishing to climate change. Since the 1980s, concerns have been growing over impacts of the ever-expanding fish farm industry. Shuswapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild salmon, along with salmon that spawn in many other Fraser River tributaries, must travel past these fish farms on their way north to Alaska and elsewhere, and when they return to spawn. Problems are rampant in fish farms, as these fish are raised in large numbers in a small space, which creates conditions that foster disease outbreaks. As with other farm animals raised in cramped spaces, it is necessary to use antibiotics just to keep the fish alive. Many of the companies that operate B.C. fish feedlots are from Norway, where most of the wild salmon were killed off years ago due to the spread of disease from farmed

stocks. Thus, it is no wonder that fish farming is not allowed in adjacent jurisdictions, including Alaska, where salmon stocks are very healthy and continue to consistently flourish. Despite persistent government and industry claims that open-net salmon farms pose no threats to wild salmon, opposition to these unhealthy fish feedlots has been growing, just as concerns have been increasing over the health of wild salmon due to recent significant declines in the Fraser stocks. One of the most outspoken and knowledgeable leaders in the campaign to oppose the salmon farms is Dr. Alexandra Morton, who is often considered a true Canadian hero. She began her research in B.C. studying killer whales, but in the late 1980s her focus switched to the impact of fish farms on wild salmon. Soon her pa-

pers, published in leading journals such as Science, were warning how sea lice were spreading from the farmed Atlantic salmon to wild pink salmon. After she went to the B.C. Supreme Court in 2009, the decision required the federal government to uphold their constitutional obligation for regulating the ocean fishery, which forced them to take over management of the fish farm industry from the province. Last year Morton provided key testimony to the Cohen Commission, the federal inquiry into the decline of the Fraser River sockeye, and her efforts resulted in the province releasing detailed fish farm disease records. Most recently, Morton has had tests done on farmed salmon purchased at Lower Mainland supermarkets that show evidence of a virus. This disease could be partly responsible for the die-off that often oc-

curs in the Fraser River or in the Shuswap before the salmon have a chance to spawn. During the second week of May, Shuswap residents will have the opportunity to hear Morton speak about the impacts that the fish feedlot industry is having on the wild salmon. Throughout this tour, there will also be a focus on local issues that are impacting the health of salmon. In Salmon Arm on May 10, one of the local issues in focus will be the effort underway for many years to restore the stream banks of the Salmon River where habitat destruction has had a devastating impact of the health on this run. And on May 12, during the hike through Roderick Haig-Brown Park, one hot topic will be the effort soon to be underway to purchase the Cottonwood Campground that is adjacent to the Adams River freshwater estuary.

With this ring I thee wed... and generate 20 tons of waste Salmon Arm gets a chance to go green by recycling their old gold this week

No one wants a guilty conscience on their wedding day, but most people are unaware that the production of a single gold wedding band creates at least twenty tons of waste and thirteen pounds of toxic emissions. That's right, that gleaming ring on your finger is not the result of the hard day's work of a bearded old prospector panning for gold, but the product of toxic chemistry. Because most of the world's large gold veins have been tapped out, miners are now resorting to chemical processes to leech small amounts of gold out of the earth. Large, open pit mines are created by blasting out the earth. The extracted ore is pulverized and then treated with a toxic chemical solution to separate the gold from the rock. Irresponsible mining practices in developing countries make this process extremely dangerous to the environment. Some of the largest mine sites move over half a million tons of earth per day, leaving scars on the earth that can be seen from space. Waste laced with thousands of tons of cyanide is being dumped into rivers and oceans. Yes, you read that correctly- cyanide, the same poison used for the mass murder of millions in the gas chambers during the holocaust. In 2000, a spill of 100,000 tons of toxic

waste from a gold mine in Romania cut off water supply to 2.5 million people and killed nearly every single fish in the surrounding area. But these accidents aren't just occurring in developing countries; in 2008 metal mining was the number one toxic polluter in the United States accounting for over 80% of arsenic, mercury and lead releases. The good news? Gold has an amazing propensity for recycling.

“

Most people are amazed at how much the gold that has been gathering dust in their jewellery box is actually worth. -Elli Reilander, The Gold Recyclers

"Old gold can be melted down, refined, and brought back into the market as new jewellery or even computer parts" says Elli Reilander, a gold-recycling representative for The Gold Recyclers- a family-run company bringing their services to cities all across Canada. "Recycling your old gold jewellery is a great way to do your part for the environment and make some extra cash while the price of gold is so high," says Reilander, "Most people are amazed

Some good items to recycle are broken chains, single earrings, pendants, damaged rings, items with missing stones and anything that you simply don’t wear anymore.

at how much the gold that has been gathering dust in their jewellery box is actually worth!" Gold recycling is not a new thing. In fact, The Gold Recyclers, who are based out of Sidney, B.C, have been in the gold-buying business for over 20 years. "It is only in the past year and a half, when the value of gold really started climbing, that we've been able to take to the road." says Reilander, "People are starting to view their old gold jewellery as an investment that they can sell when the time is right." The timing couldn't be better for The Gold Recyclers' 5 day gold-buying

event at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort here in Salmon Arm. Those who want to take advantage of the high price of gold and do their part for the environment are encouraged to come down to the Prestige Harbourfront Resort off Lakeshore Dr. this coming Thursday through Monday (May 10th-14th), where The Gold Recyclers will be buying gold at their kiosk just off the hotel’s main lobby. Bring your broken or unused old gold necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets, rings and even dental gold. Their professional and experienced staff will sort your

gold by karat using a chemical assay, weigh it out, and give you an estimate based on the day's top market value of gold. If you are satisfied with your quote, they will write you a cheque on the spot. No appointments are necessary, just walk in with your old gold and leave richer. So, avoid a guilty conscience and recycle your gold. Who knows? Someday your old gold might be slipped onto someone's ring finger as a brand new wedding band, while their fiancée vows, "With this ring I thee wed... and save our earth from twenty tons of waste".

Peggy Maerz, head coach of the Salmon Arm Bulldogs Boxing Club, gained redemption last Wednesday night in Calgary when she defeated Michelle Nelson. Maerz is ranked number one with the Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Nelson is ranked number two. Wednesday’s was a rematch from two years ago, when Maerz lost that first fight by a split decision.

Celebrating 37 Years! CUSTOMER APPRECIATION & ANNIVERSARY

Maerz had trained hard over the last eight weeks and the bout was the semi main event of the night. It was her first six-round bout, preparing her for the 10round championship fights. After the fight the president of the Canadian Professional Boxing Council approached Maerz and her trainer/coach Mickey Sims, offering a title shot against Nelson in the fall. Both Sims and Maerz are pleased that she will get her chance to fight for the Flyweight Belt of Canada.

Why every mother needs a time-out Maja Begovic (NC) others are so busy taking care of everyone else in the family, they often put themselves last on the list. Here are some simple ideas to help busy moms nurture themselves and keep that inner spark glowing. Diet and Exercise: Moms who eat right

and get enough sleep experience greater levels of energy, lower levels of stress, and increased self-esteem. In fact, some forms of exercise can be fun to do with your kids, so everyone can beneÀt. Home Spa: Moms deserve pampering, but don’t always have the time or budget to get away for some spa time. Turning your

bathroom into a home spa can help you enjoy the relaxation and beauty beneÀts of a sublime soak. Pursue Hobbies: As a mother, you use your creativity when you play make-believe games or do projects with your children. But a few hours of pure creative engagement (think art class, photography or a pottery

workshop) apart from your family can recharge your batteries. Volunteer: Volunteering is another way to nurture your interests and connect you with other people. This is especially important for stayat-home moms. Find a cause you’re passionate about or get involved with a local organization like

break! Mother’s Day is a joyful family event so you shouldn’t worry about taking young children with you. Most restaurants are prepared to welcome them and even have special children’s menus for

the occasion. Just be sure to reserve a table a few days ahead of time to avoid disappointment at the door. Finally, remember that the ultimate gift to a mother is some quality time spent with her family, so make this

gifted mother of yours supremely happy. Give her all your attention and use this occasion to demonstrate the love you feel for her. During the meal listen to her, make her laugh, take care of her. Mothers are precious.

Sunny start to season

Would you like to swallow 20 pills every day, just to digest your food?

The soccer season is well underway now and Saturdays are filled with 1,100-plus kids from ages three to 18 years playing soccer on fields all over town starting at 8:30 in the morning and not finishing until 8 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock at night. Last Saturday was a beautiful day with real sunshine and no rain to be seen. Unfortunately sunshine and dry weather has been the exception rather than the rule this year and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had days that the fields were closed due to standing water. The City of Salmon Arm monitors the field conditions and controls closures in co-ordination with the Shuswap Recreation Society. Normally they are able to give us 24 hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice that the fields will be closed so that we can notify players and coaches but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always happen. If you are ever wondering if your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice or game is happening, please be sure to check our website, www.ShuswapSoccer. com for status updates. We generally update

Please help us.

ON THE PITCH Kevin Harrison the site within minutes of receiving notification from the city and, as you cannot always get someone on the phone, this is the single most reliable way of confirming whether you should get your soccer player geared up and down to the pitch. Last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sunshine was a spectacular bonus to the start of the 2012 Timbits soccer program. More than 160 players aged three to five years came out to experience their first dynamic session with Coach Steve (Miller), all decked out in their fancy new soccer jerseys. (Which team was the loudest again? Was that the blue team? Coach Steve didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say for sure but I know he did a few backwards

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure who had more fun but we know for a fact that Coach Steve was still wearing a big smile after four sessions, even though he was a bit weary after the four hours of high energy performance compounded by some serious jetlag. Thank you to all the players, parents and grandparents who came out for opening day and making it such a great success. A special thank you to all the volunteers as team contacts who made it so much easier and did such a great job. Team picture taking is underway this week and finishing up next Monday. Your team should already have either had their picture taken or know when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scheduled. These picture sessions will only be re-

scheduled if we need to cancel due to weather conditions so be sure to be on time and in your team shirt so that we can get as many players as possible in these pictures. This year has had its bumps, just like all seasons, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really nice to hear the support from parents, players and volunteers. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time out to share their appreciation for the hard work that goes into getting the season started. Remember, none of this would happen without our volunteers either so please be sure to thank your coaches, team contacts, division co-ordinators and board members.

#Art or vandalism? Graffiti is a common cultural phenomenon found on the sides of rail cars across Canada. These cars passed through Chase last month heading west.

Is graffiti an art form? With the connection to the Coast, we are able to watch freight cars come and go, with logos representing businesses from all over the globe. As I watch the exotic names pass by, my imagination is taken to travel and what might be in those boxes stacked two high, from those oh so foreign lands. Recently I noticed how much graffiti is on the side of many rail cars, tanker or freight trailers. They have become the canvas for many a spray can-wielding artist. The talent is incredible, some with poetic qualities expressed in the work. While listening to CBC radio, I heard a protest from a nightclub owner in Montreal, where liquor licences are denied for any establishment showcasing hip-hop. Hip-hop and graffiti have been long associated, broadly making it into mainstream culture. Our educators nurture students along a path toward maximum

VILLAGE VOICE Lynda Hooper potential, eventually making it to university where minds are said to be opened further. Where societies are accepting of cultural differences, our environment can only be enriched by mainstream opportunities given to new modes of expression. Art and music are languages that transcend all spoken communication, as long as the message is thoughtfully articulated for the masses in a public forum. What happens in private is a whole other editorial. Fine arts are as important in the formation of thought, as in ultimately expressing a perspective. It takes huge discipline to learn a musical in-

strument, perform a complicated dance, or create a fabulous sculpture or painting. Writing scripts, press releases, or email messages, in addition to creative prose or poetry, have transferable skills for life development. Project management and entrepreneurial skills are useful in any business, whether the project be a large production in a theatre of thousands, or a blank canvas with whatever media is available at the time. There is something learned in the freedom of expression. Chase property maintenance bylaw speaks to a property owner’s responsibility to keep things neat and tidy, toward a wholesome, aesthetically pleasing community. The bylaw includes graffiti. Painting on property without permission to do so, whether public or private, is vandalism plain and simple. Too many resources are consumed in the clean up of vandalized property, pub-

lic funds that could be better used elsewhere. According to Couns. Rick Berrigan and Steve Scott, who are also involved with the Youth Action Committee in town, there will be opportunity for artists to show their artistic talents when the new skateboard park opens. Here again, the work must be acceptable to the whole community. Berrigan has just retired from his career with CP Rail. He said there’s not much they can do about the graffiti unless they can catch the vandals in the act. Rail cars are often adorned with the logos of the owner companies, not intended to be painted over. The other unfortunate part is the anonymity of the artist, whose talent goes unrecognized. The next time you are late for an appointment, patiently waiting for a train to pass by, consider the traveling art show as it passes by – may as well sit back and enjoy.

A way with horses

# Laine Keyes, on Daisy, shows their barrel racing style in a corral at Okanagan Outback Western Adventures.

LYNDA HOOPER/MARKET NEWS

Authentic ranch experience By Lynda Hooper MARKET NEWS STAFF

As a young cowboy, Laine Keyes has the wisdom of five generations behind him as he takes over the reins at a ranch in the scenic Turtle Valley, where men like Cecil Coburn rode 100 years ago. Keyes is an experienced rancher and knows his livestock, especially how to handle horses. With his mom Renee Blanc, he operates Okanagan Outback Western Adventures. “He’s the businessman,” chuckled Blanc as she nodded at her son. “I’m just a grunt cleaning up after the horses.” As Blanc demonstrates her equine skills, it is evident this woman has a deep understanding of these sensitive creatures. When Keyes and Blanc take a couple of their horses out for a demonstration of horsemanship, the gentle nature of the horses is evident, even with a stranger present. While Keyes goes to get his cutting horse named Daisy, Blanc heads to the training corral. “We have a method of gently training new riding stock; you can’t raise a gentle horse through fear and aggressive behaviour,” Blanc remarked, as she walked the new stud on the

farm, Wildfire. “Wildfire is really smart,” she continues. “This is only the second time we’ve attempted to ride him. He got his name because he was conceived during the 2008 blaze that tore through the valley.” Keyes arrives with Daisy, then leaves her in the adjacent barrel racing arena. He stands next to Wildfire, with Blanc holding the bridle. Wildfire seemed a little nervous at first with the camera pointed at him, but once he realized the threat was of low magnitude, he quickly seemed to relax, finally allowing Keyes on his bare back. Blanc led Wildfire around the ring with Keyes riding, but the horse wasn’t quite ready to let Keyes stand up. Blanc showed a video on her smart phone of the first session a few days back, with Keyes eventually standing on the dappled tawny back of the young quarter horse stallion. Next Keyes gets up on Daisy and they zigzag through pylons on the gallop, around barrels with speed and agility. There’s no question they are a team working together. As she watches her son do the course in a cloud of dust, Blanc says she is still into barrel racing. With that sparkle in her

eye, you just know she’s good at it. Along with the trail rides, Okanagan Outback Western Adventures has a campground where dry RV spots are available, with corral space for visiting livestock. Kids summer camps, therapeutic rides, or just plain old riding lessons – they’re all available and more. Keyes may be carrying on a family tradition that goes back to the first settlers in the area, but his methods are current and state-of-the-art, with his trusty smart phone in hand and informative website speaking to the world. Keyes’ recent experience as a participant in the Launch-aPreneur event in Salmon Arm was valuable. “The formal coaching on the business plan was particularly helpful, in looking at all the aspects of the operations,” said Keyes. Keyes says he wouldn’t mind returning to competitive bull riding in the Canadian Pro Rodeo circuit but, for now, his focus is needed on the ranch.

Students win diversity contest Salmon Arm students embraced diversity in our community through posters, stories and videos which focused on eliminating racism and all forms of hate. The Embracing Diversity contest was put together locally through the Shuswap Settlement Services Society, supported by both the federal and provincial governments and other community partners. Bernie Desrosiers, project chair, said the goal was to get students thinking about how discrimination tries to exclude and isolate victims and to encourage the young artists to reflect on what it might feel like to be subjected to one or more of the multiple forms of discrimination. Poster competition winners included: Annabelle Elsom, Zylomon Clarke and Cayden Thurston all from Salmon Arm West Elementary. Story competition winners include: Charmaine Halliburton of Shuswap Middle School, Brandon Harder of A.L. Fortune Secondary and Carrie Fromme of Salmon Arm West Elementary. Honorable mentions were given to Jordyn Brooks and Maxim Vinet of Shuswap Middle School and to Chelsea McCaig of A.L. Fortune Secondary. Winners of the video clip competition included: Shane Gorner, Vitality Demers and Samantha Wex all from Salmon Arm Secondary School. Students shared in cash prizes totaling $1,000 and each received an anthology of the celebrated works. Desrosiers said they will have to explore, with the school district, avenues of repeating the competition in coming years.

Danny is 18 months old. He laughs, cries, smiles and enjoys silly games like peek-a-boo with his parents. He has always been a very quiet baby but sometimes he makes babbling sounds like “bababa” and “mamama.” He has not said any words yet and his mom wonders if this is normal. Her neighbour tells her, “don’t worry, he’ll talk when he’s ready” but mom is still worried… When it comes to speech and language development, what should parents expect to see and when? An 18 month old, like Danny, should be able to say at least 18 words and he should understand more words than he can speak. He should also be able to point to show you something. For example, he should be able to understand and point when asked, “Where’s your belly button?” Danny’s parents should consider taking him to a speech language pathologist who can help identify and treat children with speech and language delays. A good rule of thumb for parents or caregivers to consider when understanding typical speech and language development is that one year old chil-

dren should be able to say one word at a time and two year old children should say at least two words together. Hearing loss can interfere with a child’s speech and language development, so parents should also be on the look out for hearing problems. At three months old a child should startle to loud sounds and, by six months, they should turn to where a sound is coming from. If parents notice any signs that a child may not be hearing well they should talk to an audiologist or other health professional. There are some simple things that parents and caregivers can do to promote communication development. Try following your child’s lead: get face-to-face and down to your child’s level, observe your child’s body language in order to discover what he/she is interested in, wait for your child to do or say something (be patient - it can be 10 or 15 seconds), listen to your child’s message without interrupting and then respond in a playful way. Communication development starts at birth so it’s never too early to help your child build their skills. Daily life activities like diaper changing, bed time, bath time, and meal time are perfect times to talk with your child. Use the same words and

in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but in God we put our trust, In times as difﬁcult as this, faith is such a must. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seeems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

FARNHAM, ALAN It is with great sadness we announcing that Alan Farnham of Salmon Arm, British Columbia, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 27, 2012 at the age of 78. Alan was born in Windsor, Ontario on February 5, 1934. He is predeceased by his parents, Orlo and Jean Farnham, and his sister, Lynn Stafford. Alan is survived by his beloved wife Maureen, daughters Kelly Farnham (Brian), Tanya Bushell (Rob), Nicole Dent (Jay) and Kelly Woodward (Jerry), six grandchildren, sister Margo Pastovich, brother Garth Farnham, nieces and nephews Dina Pastovich, Marnie Pastovich, Holly Pennington, Derek Pennington, Aaron Farnham, Robin Georgeson and Roxane Smith . Alan spent all of his working life as an accountant; in fact, he did so until his last days. Outside of work, Alan spent a lot of his free time on the golf course and over the years made many special and close friends on the links. He always treasured this. Alan will be remembered for his no-holds-barred attitude towards life, his resilience and his sense of humour. The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. McKee, Dr. Skubiak and the nurses in Emergency and on level four of Shuswap Lake General Hospital for their kind and compassionate care. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Wednesday, May 2 at 1:00 PM at Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium in Salmon Arm. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations in Alan’s memory may be made to Shuswap Lake General Hospital Foundation or a charity of one’s choice.

AL LITTLE Al’s journey with us ended suddenly on April 24, 2012. Al was born in McBride BC on February 23, 1969. He grew up in Salmon Arm, and he worked at Lakeland Mill in Prince George for the last 17 years. Although he was taken too soon, he was content and found peace and “magic” with his life partner, Jo, and their beautiful home and property. Al is survived by his life partner, Jo Burrows; mother, Deanna Little from Salmon Arm; dad, John (Maryann) Little of Sidney, BC; brothers, Andy (Pam) of Campbell River, Steve (Jennifer) of Vanderhoof, Jim (Donna) of Chilliwack; stepsiblings, Cheryl (Mike) Kimber of Sidney, BC, Chad (Kim) Schaff of Saanich, BC; nine nieces and nephews; 1 great-niece; 1 great nephew and many great friends. Al was an amazing man who lived his life with integrity and dedication. His presence was always noticed and he had an innate ability to connect with others and a common sense approach to life. Al was known as a “gentle giant” who was always there to listen or help his friends. He was a great conversationalist, and he always had a unique perspective on life. Al was also a talented writer, and published his book, Wolf Dreams. He was most content in his garden, enjoying the outdoors and he loved animals. Al will forever be loved and missed. Thanks to all who tried to assist Al and our family during this tragic time. A Celebration of Life Service was held on Saturday, April 28th at 2:00 pm at the Westwood Mennonite Brethren Church in Prince George, BC, with his special friend, Cappi Bowers, as celebrant. In lieu of ﬂowers, memorial donations may be sent to the S.P.C.A or the charity of your choice in memory of Al. Email condolences may be sent to Al’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com. Arrangements are in care of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm, BC.
