BC premier touts green energy By Barb Brouwer & Lachlan Labere MARKET STAFF

Pipelines and the economy were chief among concerns discussed at a Women’s Town Hall meeting hosted in Salmon Arm by B.C. Premier Christy Clark Monday afternoon at the Comfort Inn. “One of most important things we can do in government is talk to each other, and the way to do that is to listen,” she said. “If we do want to change governments, we have to change the way they do things.” Clark launched into her recent experience at a premier’s meeting in Halifax where she protested the proposed Enbridge pipeline. “There are all kinds of environmental issues and we don’t have a spill response in B.C.,” she said, noting people from across the world visit this province because of the spectacular scenery and clean environment. “It has to meet the environmental review process and it has to get First Nations approval.” Clark also insisted the project would have to provide benefits to the people of B.C. and that she is not prepared to risk the province if it

While she maintains the future of the Alberta pipeline may be in question, Clark said five pipelines are being built in northern B.C. to carry natural gas to the Coast for processing, before it is frozen and shipped to Asia. Describing it as “atrillion-and-a-half dollar industry,” Clark stressed the need to “continue to harvest the power of free enterprise, the power of the

private sector.” This prompted audience member Joan Sturdy to ask if the province has any plans for alternate energy. Clark enthusiastically responded that since 2005, new incentives and policy changes have led to B.C. becoming the “third biggest cluster” of green energy anywhere in the world. “I know the carbon tax is not popular outside of urban ares, but in its defence, it has

been a large part of attracting people (experts) from all over the world,” she said. “We’re trying to sell our intellectual product and clean energy, and natural gas is a low-risk commodity to move, while bitumen is not; it’s the heaviest of the oils.” Financial advisor Coralie Tolley expressed concerns about the number of families leaving the area and the potential for more to go without the creation of

Clark promises to promote Sicamous in her travels Continued from front Darrell Trouton and Shuswap MLA George Abbott and witness firsthand the recovery effort going on in the community following the Sicamous Creek debris flow and the flooding from high water. With the hardship the community is facing as a result of the recent flooding, Clark said one of the things she can do to help get the community back on its feet is get the word out in B.C., and Alberta, that Sicamous is back in full swing for the summer. “So I want to help the mayor and this community send that message all across the province. Come to Sicamous, the people are ready to welcome you with open arms.” Back at the town hall meeting where jobs and the economy were on almost everyone’s mind, the premier noted bio energy needed to fuel the liquefied natural gas plants in the north will increase jobs across the

province. In the area of real estate and construction, Clark said her government is trying to mitigate the effects of recent and more stringent federal regulations on mortgages with a first-time homebuyer’s grant which will be in place next spring. Her longterm goal, she said, is ratcheting down and eliminating taxes that add costs to already expensive houses. During the question period, Shuswap Daycare manager Karen Bubola took issue with the current two-year waitlist for families needing daycare, consistent funding cuts and poor pay that is driving well-trained prospective employees from the childcare field. “It’s an area where we can do a lot better,” responded Clark. “I want to encourage you to be part of dialogue consultations that the government is doing on every topic at www.govtogether.bc.ca. “There are a lot of those issues – not just

availability – it’s a whole basket of issues.” Mayor Nancy Cooper gave a plug to the industrial park and its advantageous location on the Trans-Canada Highway and proximity to rail service, and asked Clark if her government had any mechanism to encourage businesses to locate in smaller communities like Salmon Arm?” While she handed that job back to Cooper as mayor, Clark said the province could help by training people closer to home so they could get the skills and jobs need-

ed to remain in their own communities. To do this will require reworking the education system, she said. “We spend $5.2 billion educating kids for 12 years and then say ‘go get more education,’” she said, noting 20 per cent of kids don’t even graduate from high school. “In one of the richest places in the world, that is a crying shame. Let’s educate them so they can go right into the workforce.” Clark insisted her government plans to make sure the next gen-

eration can provide for the people they love. “George has a great vision – individualized learning – what is it you want? What is it you’re passionate about? Surely we can do that in this high-tech society,” she said.

REBUILD OR REMAN? Part 2 of a 2 part series If the technician performing a diagnosis doesn’t have the skill or experience with your car’s transmission, you might easily find yourself paying for a new transmission… whether you need one or not. If the reman transmission still doesn’t work, the reman companies have technicians on staff to help the shop work through the actual problem. So your car will probably shift just fine when you get it back. The only question then is: Was the problem you had really in the transmission? Or did you pay for a transmission you didn’t really need? Only a qualified, professional transmission technician can diagnose your car reliably, and tell you for certain whether you actually need a rebuilt transmission, or whether a much less expensive repair will take care of the problem.

Bylaw digs into CSRD dirt By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

Dirt was a subject of discussion at the July 19 meeting of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District board meeting held in Salmon Arm. Directors gave second reading to the Soil Removal and Deposit Bylaw. The matter was first raised 18 months previously by then-Area C South Shuswap director Ted Bacigalupo, who was dealing with soil removal issues. Following discussions at the board table, staff presented a report and draft bylaw to an electoral area directors’ meeting, before bringing it to the board. The items were subsequently sent out for review by various agencies, including the Ministry of Energy and Mines. “We received lots of comments from the legal reviewer as well as the Ministry of Mines,” Development Services manager Gerald Christie told directors. “ The

bylaw before you has all of those changes and I noted some of the comments made by agencies and ministries.” Christie said that when the report and bylaw were brought forward to CSRD advisory planning commissions, they were approved by all except the one in Area F North Shuswap. “They were concerned about an extra

level of bureaucracy; about having to get a permit from Mines and then come to CSRD for a another permit,” Christie said. “That’s why 350,000 cubic metres of soil can be removed before you need a permit. This is directed to larger operations, not the person who is building a home.” The bylaw will be sent back to relevant agencies for comment

Friday, August 3, 2012 Shuswap Market News

OPINION Summer tragedies far too common Summer is a carefree time in the Okanagan, as swarms of tourists flock to the area to join locals in enjoying the wealth of opportunities for fun in the sun. But, as is all too often the case, that fun can turn tragic in the blink of any eye. That tragedy struck Sunday afternoon, when a 12-year-old Kamloops girl drowned in Skaha Lake in Penticton. According to witnesses, the girl was playing with family members in waist-deep water near the yellow warning buoys not far from where the Okanagan River Channel spills into Skaha Lake. The girl was sitting on the shoulders of a family member when their footing slipped at the drop-off and the girl disappeared under the water. The area is only a few hundred metres from where an Alberta man drowned last summer after he attempted to swim out to his daughter who had floated too far from shore on a raft. The incidents serve as a tragic reminder of the sharp drop-offs and deadly currents that can be found in area lakes. Sunday’s drowning strikes a nerve because it occurred during an activity that is a familiar sight in the Okanagan. In the back of our head, we all realize that it could have been our child, friend or neighbour who was tragically taken away from us. And it’s because of this that we must all use this latest tragedy as the motivation to take the necessary precautions around the water. The time and effort required will go a long way to ensuring the Okanagan remains filled with happy summer memories. -Penticton Western News

Life-jackets a wise precaution It’s a nice warm, lazy, sunny summer’s afternoon. A hint of a cool breeze is just beginning to blow in off the water as a group of people on float tubes drift along in the current. The thought of having to wear a life-jacket seems, well, just too bothersome. After all, there’s no chance of anything happening, of anything going wrong. Every year in this province people drown while taking part in activities on the water. None of them intended to drown. They were, for the most part, everyday people out enjoying a pleasant day on the water – until something went wrong. The worst part is that 87 per cent of people who drowned either were not wearing a life-jacket or PFD, or, did not have one onboard. With an ever increasing number of people taking part in activities on and around the water, there is an increased need for safety and regulation. According to federal government regulations, a person operating a boat or pleasure craft is responsible

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray for equipping the boat with the proper mandatory safety equipment. Operators and or owners of boats and pleasure craft that do not comply with these regulations can be subject to penalties and fines of up to $200 for each person not wearing an approved life-jacket/PFD. Think of it this way: not only do life-jackets save lives, the cost of a good quality Coast Guard-approved life-jacket is still far less than the cost of a fine. Whether in a boat, on a dock, or simply near the water (in the case of small children), a person is safer if they are wearing a life-jacket. The bottom line when it comes to life-jackets or PFDs is that they save lives. There are a number of

things to consider when choosing a flotation device. First of all, consider the type of water activities that you enjoy. Today there are life-jackets and PFDs specially designed for virtually every water activity, including pleasure boating, fishing, water skiing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing and rafting. Today’s life-jackets and PFDs are available in a variety of bright colours. When determining what size of life-jacket or PFD, remember that sizing is based on chest measurements for adults and weight for children. Read the label for details. And, most important, try the lifejacket or PFD on before buying. It should fit snugly, with all the buckles, zippers and snaps done up, but still allow room to breathe and move around freely. Try walking around and sitting with it on as well. A life-jacket or PFD is too big if you can pull it up over your ears and too small if you cannot fasten all the buckles and do up all the straps. Whether boating, kayaking, angling or floating down river on a float tube, it

is important to know the waters you will be on. This year in particular, moving waters such as rivers and streams, are running higher and faster. A number of people in the province have already been swept to their deaths in fast-flowing waters. It is also extremely important to remember that different people have differing levels of skill and physical strength, not to mention swimming ability. A lifejacket or PFD can make all the difference in a lifethreatening situation. While I have yet to float downstream in a tube, I have spent a lot of time in a canoe, not to mention a fair number of 12-foot aluminum fishing boats and, with all the hours I have spent on the water, I have never gone out without a life-jacket – for the plain and simple reason that I am not a strong swimmer. I’m not sure that I could save myself, let alone anyone else, without a life-jacket, Besides, the way I see it, wearing a life-jacket isn’t really all that bothersome – especially compared to the alternative.

GT dragon boat crew back on the water

OUT AND ABOUT Lynda Hooper Watching the water dragon skim through the water was exciting for this spectator, considering the craft has been unreachable for a while due to high flood waters. An impromptu team, the GT Dragon Boat Society crew managed to get out of the slip at Sunset Cove Marina in Blind Bay without mishap. The GT Dragon Boat Society has a little different philosophy on membership compared with other more regimented clubs. Considering everyone is busy, especially

in the summer, and that life exists outside of dragon boating, the club is more open to changing up crew members. Individual paddlers head down to the marina for 4:30 p.m. during the week, starting Monday and Tuesday, forming the crew for that shift. Depending on numbers, another crew departs at 6 p.m. Life-jackets and paddles are stored onsite with boat moorage and accessory storage donated by the owners of Sunset Marina. After having no access to their own boat for three weeks during excessive flooding, the GT Dragon Boat Society kept busy at meets, and borrowed some time on boats in Salmon Arm. Dragon boats are supplied at races, rather than transporting crafts from location to location over land. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for everyone to know An-

Weather leads bears to stay at lower levels

THE SALMON ARM

SILVERBACKS SPOTLIGHT Less of a ‘welcome’ and more of a ‘welcome back’ for 20 year old forward Brandon Mistal who returns to the SilverBacks this year after a season with the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Mistal; who was acquired along with Brayden Sherbinin from Cowichan as futures in the Brett Knowles trade says his two years in Salmon Arm have him ready for more. “I’m excited, I loved my time in Salmon Arm. They were great years with great guys so I’m really excited to come back for the end of my Junior ‘A’ career.”

By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

The tape is down and the South Canoe Trails are open again. And while a suspected aggressive black bear has been killed by BC Conservation Officers, the area is ideal bear habitat. Brian Harris, a wildlife biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ Fish and Wildlife Branch, says he would not be surprised if bears are frequenting lower elevations in greater numbers this year. “We don’t have any documentation, but they come out of their dens in May and are hungry,” he says, pointing out bears are motivated by food. “Spring was as slow in coming as I can ever remember and it would have come earlier at lower elevations.” Harris says bears begin the season by eating grass, clover and other tender greens and are often found on green, south-facing slopes under power lines. But they are omnivores, who also enjoy “ripened” meat. After mother-cub issues, food is the next greatest cause of aggressive behaviour in bears. Harris says orchards are weeks behind and spawning salmon – another favourite menu item, are not available yet. Meanwhile Shuswap Trail Alliance officials remind trail users to remember all area trails are within active bear habitat.

For those who don’t remember him as a SilverBack he contributed 21 points over two seasons, Mistal describes himself as a hard-working, two-way forward with great memories of being a ‘Back “I roomed with Mark Zengerle and skated alongside him and to play on the team that went to the Conference Finals in my second year was awesome. I’ve only played on a few teams like that, that were that close.” Being a Kamloops native doesn’t hurt the cause either. “When I signed with Salmon Arm as a 17 year old it was so exciting to be an hour away from home and you have friends and family who can come out, plus you have Merritt so close.”

#Last year a bear was photographed as he stuck his head in a compost bucket in a Salmon Arm yard. “Two other reports of bear activity around trails in the region include Reinecker Creek, above Herald Park, and a mother bear and cub in the area of the Rubberhead Trails,” cautions a media release. All trail users are advised to be bear aware. Travel in groups. Make noise. Carry bear spray. Let others know where you are going. When you encounter a bear, remain calm, DO NOT RUN, retreat from the area.” “Be particularly aware on mountain bikes and make noise,” says the release. “Despite the impression of being loud in our own minds as we ride, cyclists are actually incredibly hard to hear and easily surprise others on the trail.”

Be sure to manage potential bear attractants around your homes. Human behaviour is usually at the root of all problem encounters between humans and bears. Check out the BC Bear Aware program at www.bearaware. bc.ca for excellent guidance. Report general bear sightings on trails to trailreport@shuswaptrals.com so information can be shared through the Shuswap trails ebulletin. Use the same email to request your name be added to the ebulletin for regular updates on Shuswap trail events, news, and updates. Report bear conflicts to BC Conservation by calling 1-877952-7277.

Last season was the best of Brandon’s career in the BCHL, potting 13 goals and 32 points, he says his personal goal for the season is a scholarship “I’ve steadily improved year after year and hopefully this year will be the big break-out year and the scholarship will come my way.” Our SilverBack Spotlight segment continues next week with Salmon Arm native Shane Hanna.

Firefighters honorarium in CSRD to increase By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors adopted a policy that formalizes remuneration for firefighters throughout the CSRD In 2010, the board adopted the recommendations that addressed changes to CSRD Fire Services, including a standardized proficiency and remuneration model for officers and firefighters. However the policy approved at the July 19 board meeting includes two minor changes from the approved Proficiency Criteria and Honoraria Report. This includes an increase to the training officer honorarium from $850 a year to $1,500 a year. As well, beginning in 2013,

the hourly rate paid to firefighters and officers who have not received the BC Basic Firefighting Certificate will increase to $15 per hour instead of $12 as suggested in the report. Beginning in 2014, firefighters with the certificate will receive $18 per hour. Electoral Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin said concerns about the issue were raised at a recent Electoral Area Directors meeting. “This could become very pricey – we will be watching this,” she said, acknowledging that when she has talked to members of the public, they have expressed embarrassment that the firefighters are paid so little. “As a director, I would like to know if the budget is being pushed.”

It’s mine

Darcy Mooney, CSRD’s deputy manager of Environment and Engineering Services, said in the past, firefighters have been paid as little as $5 per call. “This will go from $12 to $15 an hour,” he said. “Once we finalize and update budgets, we will share the information with the board.” Salmon Arm director Debbie Cannon agreed with Martin, expressing concern for the number of “fake” call-outs. Representing Area C South Shuswap following the death of director Ted Bacigalupo, Jack McInaly pointed out that until rates were increased there were few younger members on area fire crews. “This will enhance training and attract younger people, and that’s what’s needed out there,” he said.

Tappen man awarded top research honours A UBC sciences student from Tappen – admittedly a nervous speaker – dazzled judges and took top prize for his presentation at an international showcase of almost 60 undergraduate students from 23 of the world’s leading universities. The global Undergraduate Research Conference at Universitas 21, for researchers under age 21, was held in Tokyo, Japan earlier this month. On the heels of a top-place finish at the Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference (MURC) in Vancouver last March, Ryan Trenholm of the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences took home the Top Oral Presenter award during the second day of the conference in Tokyo. In all, seven awards were handed out at the conference. Trenholm was one of three presenters from UBC, and the only representative of UBC’s Okanagan campus. He was also the only Canadian to win an award.

Adaptive Irrigation,” was an adaptation of his award-winning MURC presentation. “I still can’t believe I won,” says Trenholm, who describes himself as a nervous public speaker. “I have come away with so much more confidence in myself. My family and professors had so much faith in me, and now I feel like I can do anything. The experience really improved my life. It made me a better person, a better student and

a better researcher.” Trenholm credits the whole experience to the journey that started with his Undergraduate Research Award (URA) Project. “My URA summer research project led to MURC, which led to the U21 Conference in Japan,” he says. “I studied Japanese in high school and getting the chance to go to Japan and represent UBC was the opportunity of a lifetime.” Trenholm follows in

the footsteps of another Barber School student, Andrew Hughes, who won the Best Presentation award at the U21 Research Conference in Melbourne, Australia in 2010. Trenholm graduated this year with a BSc in computer science. He will begin his master’s program at UBC’s Okanagan campus this fall, where he will work with UBC researchers and community partners to continue to investigate ways to improve water management.

Rapattack helps with tree removal

R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum Presents the 13th Annual

Classic Antique

Car Show Sun Aug 12, 2012 8:30am-2:00pm

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

It is the kindest of cuts. A five-person Rapattack crew spent several hours felling dangerous trees on the Park Hill Trail above Canoe Beach Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is great for the community,â&#x20AC;? says Salmon Arm public works manager John Rosenberg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rapattack base has a lot of ancillary benefits beyond having rapid wildfire response here.â&#x20AC;? Rosenberg says city staff do not walk the trails often, responding only if someone reports a dangerous tree. Rapattack crews have not only assessed the trail, but are removing dangerous trees and plan to remove some of the underbrush to remove fuel load â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sporadically, whenever the fire hazard is low enough. It is a process that not only helps protect the forest and people, it benefits Rapattack crews by keeping skills in top form. Forest protection officer Caleb Tomlinson says the assessment was completed by a crew from Kamloops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, the benefit is we practise chainsaw skills and maintain proficiency, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the danger assessment program endorsed by WorkSafeBC for use in parks and recreation areas,â&#x20AC;? says Tomlinson, noting some 20 trees were felled last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to mitigate hazards, making if safe for city workers to do trail maintenance.â&#x20AC;? Tomlinson says felling trees is what Rapattack crews are most used to doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we go into wildfires, the first thing we do is make the workplace safe by assessing dangerous trees, removing or avoiding them,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our long-term goal is to look at fuel management and reduce the fire hazard by removing some of the underbrush.â&#x20AC;? The Forest Service is asking the public for help in reducing the number of wildfires. Crews patrolled the Shuswap two weeks ago and discovered abandoned campfires, mostly at campsites on the lake. As of Tuesday, the fire danger rating in the Salmon Arm Zone was moderate. But there have been lightning strikes in the zone and the possibility exists that some â&#x20AC;&#x153;hangoversâ&#x20AC;? will be smouldering in the duff layer (forest floor debris), ready to pop up as the hot, sunny weather continues. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asking people not to waste our resources on human-caused fires,â&#x20AC;? says Tomlinson. Campfires are not considered to be fully extinguished until a hand can be put in the ashes comfortably. Careless campers can be charged $345 for abandoning their campfires.

Carrying on ranching tradition

“The last dock you’ll ever need!”

EZ-Dock Okanagan We carry Stock

By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

A 17-year-old Salmon Arm resident has shown great promise in the cattle business after a successful year of competing. Riley Schweb is a fourth-generation rancher. He says that’s one of the main reasons why he decided initially to join 4-H in Salmon Arm. Now, six years later, not only has Riley got two awards under his belt from this year alone, but also competed in the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede this year. “There was a lot of people there, he says. “We have quite a good show, but their’s was different. They had fireworks going off and there was a lot more of a rush there.” He explains how, at the Stampede, people live for such competitions, while in Salmon Arm, the competitions are not as intense. Riley says the trip was definitely worth taking, “I learned some technical things from being there.” He hopes to return to the Stampede in the future, but he says it all depends on his cows. “If I think I have a good enough animal, I will go back again.” According to Riley, the process of picking out a calf is a fairly difficult one at times, and certainly time-consuming in itself. In the past he has simply obtained a steer from his uncle’s farm. But this year, he went looking elsewhere. He looked at more than 500 head of cattle throughout the Okanagan before he eventually found what he thought could be a winner at a ranch in Abbotsford. There are a lot

Riley washed and shampooed his show steer four to five days a week, as well as trained it and fed it special feed. His work certainly paid off, however, as both of his cattle did well locally at the 31st Annual Okanagan 4-H Stock Show. One of Riley’s cows was named the Grand Champion Fed Calf, and the other won the Grand Champion Market Carcass Steer. Riley’s mother, Trudy Schweb, explains that in the Grand Champion Fed Calf competition, “the judge is looking for a qual-

ity animal that is what they consider to be finished. The cow needs to be ready for slaughter, it needs to look good, but it also needs to have the correct thickness. It is not just how it is going to look as it is hanging as a carcass. “He is a really classy steer with beautiful colour,” she says of the Grand Champion Fed Calf. “He holds his head up and has a really nice coat.” Trudy explains that the Grand Champion Carcass steer is determined only on the meat. They need to be able to make good cuts, with the right amount of fat. Riley was able to sell his cow for $5,100 at $4 a pound, says Trudy, and a sale like that doesn’t happen often. Riley would like to one day run a ranch of his own and says 4-H in Salmon Arm has been very beneficial in helping him reach his

goal. He explains that the program has taught him about record keeping

and how to make sales, skill he believes will be become useful later in his ranching career.

Friday, August 3, 2012 Shuswap Market News

On Aug. 6 the world marks the 67th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The bomb’s blast and fire destroyed over 88,000 buildings – stores, churches, hospitals, fire and police stations, schools, offices and blocks of flats. An estimated 140,000 were killed. Three days later, another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing 75,000. Today, 20,000 nuclear weapons are deployed globally; 3,000 are constantly on alert status, ready to be fired on 15 minutes notice, thus increasing the possibility of nuclear weapons use through accident, miscalculation, or madness. During the Cold War, there were at least 16 nuclear crises when nuclear war was narrowly avoided. There have also been a great many accidents involving nuclear weapons that could have resulted in a nuclear weapons explosion. The original five nuclear weapons countries – USA, Russia, Britain, France, and China – have now been joined by four more – India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea – thus compounding the threat

GUEST SHOT Anne Morris that hangs over humankind and creation. Concerned about this threat, 5,296 cities in 153 countries around the world, including Salmon Arm, have joined the World Conference of Mayors for Peace. The goal is the elimination of nuclear weapons by the year 2020. To achieve this, Mayors for Peace is calling for negotiations to begin now on a treaty to ban nuclear weapons. In 1996, the International Court of Justice, an arm of the United Nations, stated that the five nucleararmed countries that have signed the NonProliferation Treaty have a legal obligation to begin and to conclude negotiations on an international treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons. Public opinion polls in the nuclear-armed countries and

their allies show strong majority support for such negotiations. A group of experts has drafted a model nuclear weapons treaty based on the treaty that delegitimized and banned chemical weapons. It’s time nuclear weapons were de-legitimized and banned too. Early this year, thousands of Canadians signed a petition to the House of Commons asking the Canadian Government to invite all states to gather in Canada to begin discussions on a global treaty to ban nuclear weapons. MP Colin Mayes presented the House with over a hundred signatures of Salmon Arm citizens. The Government’s response is disappointing. Its view is that negotiations on a nuclear weapons treaty must await a universalized Non-Proliferation Treaty (i.e., all countries must renounce nuclear weapons), and fully enforce treaties banning the testing of nuclear weapons and the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons. None of these conditions can be met while the USA, Russia, France, and the UK

Register to help local animals You’re invited to take some steps to help animals in the community. Registration is open for the 2012 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk held each September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals. This year, participants in 34 B.C. communities will walk to raise $1 million to help our province’s most vulnerable animals. The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk in Salmon Arm will be held at Blackburn Park Pavil-

ion at Fifth Street and 10th Avenue SW on Saturday, Sept. 8 from 9:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 10:45 a.m. Registration is free. Participants will be able to enjoy fantastic entertainment and activities in conjunction with the Salmon Arm Fall Fair Parade. Visit spca.bc.ca/walk to register and to get all the latest news and information. All youth participants 17 and under are automatically entered to win a Playstation Vita Console. “This is the largest single event support-

ing animals in B.C.,” says Farrah Rooney, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “Participants are already signing up and will be fundraising in their own communities all summer long. The creativity and passion that people show in their fundraising efforts each year is absolutely inspiring and the walks are always so much fun for both the two-legged and four-legged participants who attend.” Participants are invited to join as an individual or as part of a team and are eligible for many prizes.

continue to modernize their nuclear weapons, thus sending strong signals that nuclear weapons are essential for their national security. Givens these signals, it’s hardly surprising that India and Pakistan want to hang on to their nuclear weapons too, while others, such as Iran, want to acquire them. The solution is to begin negotiations on a nuclear weapons ban, thus signalling that the five original nucleararmed countries are serious about implementing their treaty obligations to eliminate their nuclear weapons. Citizen action is urgently needed to press governments into action. Canada’s Senator Emeritus Douglas Roche has said that every day that humankind accepts the existence of nuclear weapons brings the world one day closer to a nuclear weapons disaster. Canadians can make their voices heard by signing the Mayors for Peace petition: https:// www.ssl-hiroins.city. hiroshima.jp/pcf/en/ form.htm, and by writing to Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister, the Hon. John Baird: John. Baird@parl.gc.ca. Alcoholics Anonymous www.bcyukonaa.org

CSRD nixes dog control in Falkland By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

Help for Alzheimer’s For four years, residents in Salmon Arm have joined together on the last Sunday in January to raise money and awareness for families impacted by dementia at the Investors Group Walk for Memories. Now, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is calling for volunteer leaders to help plan and coordinate this community event in 2013. Participants join the walk to celebrate the life of someone who has been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, and to raise money for Al-

zheimer Society of B.C. programs and services in their community that can help. Money raised is also invested in research for a cure. In 2012, the Salmon Arm Walk raised an impressive $10,000 for the cause. For more information about volunteer positions with the 2013 Investors Group Walk for Memories, contact Janis McKell at JMcKell@alzheimerbc.org or call 1-800-667-3742. For more information about the walk, go to www.walkformemories.com.

A muzzle has been placed on dog control in Falkland. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District has backed off a proposed dog control service after about 200 people jammed into the Falkland Community Hall Wednesday. Most of them were strongly opposed. “The issue has been put to bed,” said resident Kelli Rose. “We’ve been told it won’t go ahead.” The estimated cost of service would have been $14.18 annually per household, but Rose says many residents were questioning those figures. “There wasn’t a set amount of what this could cost,” she said. “Also, we don’t have a dog control issue. The RCMP hadn’t received any calls.” That’s also the opinion of another resident at the meeting. “When asked who would be in favour of dog control, only nine people raised their hands and they all lived downtown,” said a woman who didn’t want her name used. “They are just concerned about barking.” Rose says a dog control service could have misdirected limited tax dollars. “There are more pressing issues the community is in need of such as policing and seniors services,” she said. Director René Talbot defends CSRD considering dog control. “I made a promise at election time that I’d revisit it and I did what I promised,” he said, adding that some residents had expressed an interest in the service. “There were complaints about barking dogs and aggressive dogs.” But based on Wednesday’s meeting, the discussion is over. “We go nowhere, end of story,” said Talbot. “It’s clear people are not interested and the whole point of the meeting was to get people’s views.”

No injuries reported in blaze By Cavelle Layes MARKET NEWS STAFF

Chase fire crews fought to save a local trailer park from going up in flames late last Thursday afternoon. Two Chase residents are now homeless after a blaze spread through Whispering Pines trailer court in Chase. According to Brent Chamberlain, chief of the Chase volunteer fire department, the call came in around 5:30 p.m. on July 26, reporting a fire and black smoke coming from a trailer. “When I left work I could see smoke billowing up,” said Chamberlain. Reports came back at 5:54 p.m. confirming trailer #48 was on fire. Crews worked to contain the fire from spreading to other trailers which were close by. “Two of the trailers are total write-offs,”

said Chamberlain, explaining that a third has fascia damage but, for the most part, remains in livable condition. A number of neighbours were worried their homes may have smoke damage, as the fumes were heavy in the area for hours. The trailer park was evacuated overnight due to the smoke, and a four-person fire crew stayed on the scene, monitoring hot spots and tending to minor flare ups. The majority of the firefighters were back in the hall by 11:30 p.m.. The on-site crew left the scene around 5 a.m. after only a few minor flare-ups. Wally Churchill’s home was the initial trailer, #48, which caught on fire. According to Churchill, he was in Kamloops when he got the call. “I was getting ready to do a show at Hamlets

for the seniors there,” says Churchill, aka the musician Wally from Wally and the Wallbangers. “I had just set up all my equipment when a neighbour called to tell me my house was on fire.” Churchill’s dog was in the house at the time of the fire but managed to escape and ran to a neighbour’s house. The fire then spread next door to Thelma Portier’s trailer, #47. Portier had been evacuated from her house before the flames leapt to her trailer, which she had been trying to sell prior to the fire. No residents were reported to be injured from the fire; however, three firefighters were sent to Royal Inland Hospital suffering from heat stroke, and more were treated directly on scene. “It was a real working fire,” explained Chamberlain.

Chamberlain says all hospitalized firefighters returned home by 2 a.m. Friday, July 27 and were deemed fit for duty. A total of 15 volunteer fire members were on scene fighting the fire until just before 9 p.m. when the fire was brought under control. Eight members of the BC Ambulance Service were also onsite, tending to the fire crews as well as the general population, and at least three RCMP members were on the scene for crowd control purposes. BC Hydro and Terasen Gas were also called in. Chamberlain conducted an initial investigation on July 27 and, after corresponding with the fire commission, the cause of the fire was deemed undetermined. He says this is a common issue with trailers. “If it was in the

kitchen we might have been able to sift through See Fire on A25

Celebrating British Columbia Day Indigenous peoples have inhabited British Columbia, as described in their oral traditions. There are claims by the English to have explored the region in the 16th century, but it was the Majorcan-born Spanish navigator Juan José Pérez Hernández who did the first documented travel in 1774. In 1778, English explorer James Cook reached Nootka Sound and set foot on British Columbian soil. There were several

VILLAGE VOICE Lynda Hooper gold finds in British Columbia in the 1850s. The British colonial office responded to this situation by establishing British Columbia’s

mainland as a crown colony in 1858, naming it the Colony of British Columbia. In 1871, British Columbia became the sixth province of the Dominion of Canada. The British Columbia Day Act was first introduced to the Legislative Assembly in 1974. The aim of the Bill was to create a statutory holiday on the first Monday in August to recognize the pioneers in the province, and the act gained

royal assent in 1996. Whitfield Chase came to the area after tiring of the gold rush frenzy. Historian Joyce Dunn has documented the area’s history in her book, A Town Called Chase. Dunn’s family still farms on VLA Road, and the outdoor theatre at Chase Memorial Park has been named in her honor. Her book is available at the Chase Chamber Info Office, with pro-

ceeds to the Chase and District Museum fund. One thing that surely attracted all who came to British Columbia, no matter which generation, is the abundance of natural scenery. This is a legacy worthy of the highest gratitude, and stewardship. Enjoy your long weekend celebrating British Columbia heritage, however you are able; stay safe and make the best of the summer heat.

Fire department unable to determine fire’s cause Continued from A24 and find something,” he says. However, Chamberlain says it appears the fire started in the bedroom, with the extent of the fire damage being far too severe to find the exact cause. The fire does not appear to be suspicious in nature. Churchill says he was cooking before he left; however, it was around 3 p.m. and the blaze did not begin until closer to 5 p.m. The Chase Fire department says it is unlikely that cooking was the cause, but a full investigation will be undertaken. At the time of the fire, the community hall was opened for those who had been evacuated, giving them a place to sit, have a snack, recoup and stay the night if needed. As of 10:30 p.m., none of the local residents were planning on staying overnight, instead opting to take refuge in the homes of nearby friends or family. Chamberlain believes there was anywhere between 25 and 50 people evacuated from the trailer park overnight, as well as from homes on Thompson Avenue and the upper part of Okanagan Avenue.

#A firefighter directs water to hot spots at the Whispering Pines trailer court following a July 26 blaze. while grabbing a quick bite among comforting friends, Churchill said that he feels more upset for Portier’s house than his own. While Churchill says he lost at least $10,000 in musical equipment alone, he always tries to look at the bright side. “Well, at least I still have one guitar left at the Hamlets. I am just worried about my grapes and tomatoes,” he laughed, trying to lighten the situation for everyone. “I just feel

bad that all those old folks were expecting me to play for them.” Churchill, who had lived in the house for nine years, has lost everything but the clothes on his back. He was planning to check on his insurance policy last Friday morning. “Even my canoe, which was sitting outside, is gone,” he said. Churchill couldn’t say what his plans are now. “I have an RV in Kamloops I could live

in, I guess,” Churchill explained. “I live by a

one-day-at-a-time program.”

New bylaw officer on the job Chase has a new bylaw enforcement officer, Walter Marx, whose job is to investigate alleged violations of Village of Chase regulatory bylaws. Bylaw enforcement supports the goal of making and keeping Chase a great place to live. Voluntary compliance with the rules promotes safety, creates standards for good neighbourly relations and prevents behaviours that undermine quality of life. Citizens of Chase should be aware of bylaws within the village. Outdoor burning is one issue that has been a recurring problem. From May 1 to Sept.

30, except when an open burning ban is in place, the only kind of outdoor burning permitted in Chase is small campfires with clean, dry wood that produces minimal smoke. Other types of burning may be possible at other times of the year, subject to village bylaws. A burning permit is required for any and all outdoor burning, including campfires. Keep in mind that at some point through the summer, due to hot, dry conditions, there will very likely be a prohibition on all types of open burning, including campfires. When considering any kind of business, it

is important to review the laws regarding business licence requirements. All commercial, industrial, professional, personal businesses or other goods and services provided for the purpose of gain or profit, whether only based within the Village of Chase, or actually operating within the Village, require a business licence. Conserving water is always important, especially during the summer. Watering restrictions are in effect in the Village of Chase from May 15 through to Sept. 30. Follow the Current News link on the Village’s website at www.

chasebc.ca, or contact the village office for details. Responsible dog owners take good care of their pets, remembering to pick up after them. The village provides doggy doo bags at several locations. Dogs must be on a leash at all times and, from the age of four months, must be licensed. Barking dogs are a constant annoyance for many people and the source of frequent complaints. Be a good neighbour. To view some of the most common village bylaws, visit the village website at www. chasebc.ca, or contact the office directly.

Dr. Cedric Low and staff would like to welcome Dr. Jonathan Low as an associate dentist to their dental practice. Jonathan was born and raised in Salmon Arm and is pleased to be back in the area. He recently graduated from the New York University College of Dentistry and was inducted into the OKU Honor Dental Society.

SHUTTLEWORTH, HERBERT “BERT” THOMAS

Bert passed away peacefully May 17, 2012 in Salmon Arm, B.C. at the age of 93. Bert was born January 8, 1919, in Vancouver, B.C., the 5th of 7 children born to Herb and Ella Jane Shuttleworth. He served in World War II with the Canadian Air Force taking time out in 1941 to marry Marjorie Cook. Following the war, Bert worked for a time in the family business with his dad and brother and eventually became a property assessor working in Surrey, Vancouver and Vernon. He and Marjorie lived for many years in Cloverdale and finally retired to their summer cottage on Shuswap Lake. They briefly lived at Rose Lake in the Cariboo to be near their daughter who was living at 150 Mile House but the Shuswap lured them all back with Marj and Bert settling in Sorrento and their daughter and son-in-law in Blind Bay. Bert was pre-deceased by his parents, his three sisters – Doris, Vera, and Aileen, his three brothers - Jack, Norm and Bram, and his best friend, Scotty. He lost his wife, Marjorie, in 2005 after 64 years of marriage. Bert leaves behind his daughter, Donna and husband, Ken, of Blind Bay, four grandchildren: Don and Lisa (Eric) from Vancouver, Chris from Blind Bay, and James (Kate) from North Carolina. He loved being “greatgramps” to James’ and Kate’s children Samantha, Julia and Cooper. Blessed with a large extended family, he and his sense of humour will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews and their families. His family gives special thanks to Dr. Kevin Goldberg for the exceptional care given to Bert during his final years and to Bertha and Kim at Lakeside Manor which was home for Bert for almost 5 years. He enjoyed life and this will be celebrated the way he would like it with food, friends, family and the music he loved. His memorial reception will be held at 2 PM, August 11, 2012, at Fischer’s Funeral Home 4060 – 1st Ave. S.W, , Salmon Arm, B.C. If you wish, a donation can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association in Bert’s memory. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129.

GROS, MANFRED HEINZ Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house there are many mansions. John 14:2 Manfred Gros died peacefully at the East Kootenay Hospital on Saturday, December 24, 2011 at the age of 77 years.

Isabella Lawson Foote Isabella Lawson Foote (nee Robertson) of Vernon, B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;graduatedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on July 9th, 2012 at the age of 98 years young leaving behind an amazing legacy of love and life! Born in Mara, B.C. on July 5th, 1914 to John and Margaret Robertson, Isabella was the youngest in the family of seven and although the youngest, came with the strongest zest for life. Isabella spent her growing up years on the farm on Riverside Road in Mara along with her sister, three brothers and cousins. They worked hard but also â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;played hardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; swimming in the river, playing badminton and going to dances were favorite activities. She was very proud to be a lifetime pioneer of this area. When she was about eighteen Isabella moved to Vernon and worked at St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Girls School. Not long after she met Edward Henry Foote at a dance and they were married on June 18th, 1935 in the little church in Mara. They built their home in Vernon in 1936 and she resided in that home Ed built for her until February 1st of this year when she moved to Carrington Place. Isabella was a sports fan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially tennis, hockey and curling and played badminton until she was 86 years old and every game she played, she played to win! She even won gold and silver in the Senior Games. In earlier years they played a lot of tennis on their tennis court across the street which was flooded in the winter for a skating rink. Isabella was always happy to see friends and relatives drop in and loved to get to know her neighbours. She also enjoyed the many evenings playing cards with their dear friends Dave and Alma Howrie. Isabella was an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;at homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mom but in her younger years she packed apples every fall for McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Packing House and was later employed by Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Store until she retired in the late 1970s. In the late 1960s Ed and Isabella built a cabin on Mara Lake at Swansea Point â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a place they loved and where many happy times were spent with family and friends. She was blessed with the gift of hospitality and many benefited from that special gift throughout her life. Isabella is survived by her daughter Rita (Keith) Perry and three granddaughters, Heather (Anthony), Charisse (John) and Glynis (Christopher); and Michael and Sasha; twelve great-grandchildren; her sister, Margaret (Madge) and she was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Auntie Isâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Auntie Isaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to several nieces and nephews whom she held close to her heart. She was predeceased by her husband Ed in 1986; her son Derek in 1978; and three brothers, Robert, Edward and John.
