Beavers’ fate up for debate By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

City council passed the buck on the fate of Canada’s buck-toothed national symbol. Beavers have been chawing on trees at the foreshore near Christmas Island, prompting two phone calls and two website complaints to city hall from citizens. Rob Nieuwenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, reported at Monday’s council meeting that the busy rodents “bit off more than they can chew,” leaving a couple of snags leaning somewhat precariously after being chomped through. He said city staff have been cleaning up the results of the beavers’ single-minded activities. In the past, the city hired a li-

censed contractor to “deal with” the beavers, he explained, but in January, city council asked to be informed if there was to be any further trapping of beavers near the wharf. Under wildlife regulations, he said, the beavers can be trapped and disposed of, or trapped and moved to a maximum of 500 metres away. “The act requires 500 metres – that’s not a long way. Beavers from that area will migrate. It’s either dealing with it or suffering the consequences of losing the trees in that area.” Coun. Ken Jamieson said from his experience at the foreshore, he doesn’t consider the activities a problem. He suggested that if the beavers can’t move the trees, then perhaps they be given help. Coun. Denise Reimer expressed con-

cern about a large snag she noticed, wondering if it could snap off and if the city would be liable. Although liability isn’t necessarily a concern, safety is. Nieuwenhuizen replied: “It’s definitely a consideration. That’s why we’re here today.” Coun. Debbie Cannon said council does not appear to want them killed, and wondered about the cost to manage them and their activities. Carl Bannister, the city’s chief adminstrative officer, says the city doesn’t have money budgeted for tree removal and clean-up. Nieuwenhuizen said it would cost about $300 to trap or dispose of the two or three animals that are believed to be in the area.

Birch to represent B.C. Conservatives The B.C. Conservatives are ready to do battle in the Shuswap. The party elected Salmon Arm’s Tom Birch as their candidate during a nomination meeting at the Elks Hall Saturday. “The unity of purpose that I see here is inspiring,” said Birch, who was among three candidates seeking the nomination. “I appreciate the tireless work that Maureen Walker and Ed Klop have done in the past months to build this riding, and even though they did not win, I know that they will continue working with me on behalf of the party, as they wholeheartedly believe in our party’s direction.” Birch, a Salmon Arm resident since 1998, See Birch on page A2

SABNES had put fencing wire around some of the trees, particularly along the walkway, to protect them. Also at that time, Nieuwenhuizen said three to five beavers had been trapped and removed from the area near the Prestige Harbourfront Resort in the fall of 2011.

Going from wants to needs Parks plan: Swimming pool rebuild a top priority.

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A new swimming pool, a running track next to the sports fields at Little Mountain, four ball diamonds at Klahani Park. These were just a few possibilities mentioned Wednesday night in a presentation from Erik Lees of Lees + Associates on the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. His company’s job in compiling the proposed plan has been to “try to interpret the wants, and distill those down to some realistic needs,” he said. While it was a big night for the consultants, it was not so big for citizens – about 15 people showed up at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Of the recommendations in the plan, the most urgent pertains to the SASCU Recreation Centre pool. Lees said developing a plan for refitting or replacement of the centre is a high priority. “The bad news we’re delivering tonight is that those facilities are at or near the end of their useful lifetime,” he said, noting that council could be faced with a decision about “what to do with a swimming pool that springs too big a leak to repair.” While he said the condition of the gym is not too bad, it has problems including a ceiling

that’s too low for volleyball. “It is also past its prime,” he said. With regards to renovating or replacing, “anybody that’s rebuilt a house would probably say you’re better off to replace,” he noted, adding that the cost will be significant, “multiple millions.” Lori Roy, one resident who attended the meeting, agrees with replacing the pool. “It would be the least disruptive and the most beneficial to the most number of user groups.” As for other facilities, Shaw Centre is in good condition and well maintained, Lees said, but some spaces could be better utilized, such as the second-floor restaurant. He said it has potential as a fitness gym, whether it’s run by a private contractor or the rec society. “There is a lack of decent, quality, modern – what we would consider to be modern facility standards – for fitness within Salmon Arm.” Lees said the field house at Little Mountain could be used more, adding that the bathrooms are either insufficient or need to be opened more often. “On the whole it’s a wonderful facility, but it could be further programmed, especially with the school right across the street. It

That old building... it’s really stretched to its limit.” Lees said several citizens mentioned the need for a track and, if it was deemed necessary, one possibility would be the current site of the city works yard next to the Little Mountain fields. He said the consultants also looked at expanding the availability of outdoor fields through the shoulder seasons by creating an artificial turf field. One possibility would be the middle field at Little Mountain, or at the Jackson campus of Salmon Arm Secondary. One option would be combining an artificial surface and a

track, he said. Klahani Park in South Canoe, with the adjacent gravel pit, was seen as having a lot of potential, with one option being four ball diamonds complete with a clubhouse and changing facilities. Lees said the playground could be expanded, the washrooms upgraded – even an amphitheatre and event stages could be situated there. “It could be a really wonderful festival site,” he said, adding there are good precedents in other communities for using former gravel pits.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

So much for manners To the city councillors and staff: I feel your pain. It seems like such a good idea at first — to add a section to the revamped city website to allow for citizens to make comments, ask questions and generally share about civic topics. That’s what we want isn’t it? An engaged citizenry, respectfully discussing our mutual interest in the place we live. Sure we do, but let’s focus for a moment on the word “respectfully.” You see, this is where the concept starts to show a few cracks — big cracks. The commenting feature, which allowed for people, anonymously or not, to share their thoughts, ideas and opinions, was pulled off the city website after just a few days in operation. Let’s just say some of the comments were constructive – others, well, not so much. In Mayor Nancy Cooper’s words: “I think it surprised us how quickly the comments were on there. There were some really good comments, and some that were not necessarily of a positive nature.” I can smile ruefully at this, because, I too spent many a sleepless night when the Observer allowed anonymous postings on our website. It was during election-time, so community discussion got pretty heated, especially around the SmartCentres issue. And when I say heated, I really mean a stick-your-hand-ona-red-hot-stove level of heat. And it wasn’t just one or two nasty things, it was a veritable deluge of venomous verbiage. And who was supposed to vet all these comments, all the while erring in favour of free speech but somehow adhering to “community standards” and protecting my company from potential defamation lawsuits? Me. It got so I was checking the site compulsively, living in fear of spending too long away from it in case some really atrocious stuff got through. Once, on a Saturday, I went for a two-hour hike to return home to a nasty 34-message string and personal calls to my house from people demanding that erroneous, ugly and potentially libellous comments be removed. It became nearly a full time job on its own. So I was very thankful for a change in our company policy that requires people to post under their own names. While some argued it inhibits free speech, we have noticed a dramatic change in the quality and respectful content of our site. But it isn’t perfect. Nothing in democracy is. I hope the city can revamp their feature and generate some quality discussion and honest idea-sharing. It would be nice if a keyboard and a computer screen didn’t wipe away basic good manners and human decency. On another note, I’d like to extend my best wishes for a speedy recovery to Alan Harrison, city councillor and principal at Bastion Elementary after his recent health scare. I know he is missed in both the council chambers and in the school hallways.

Editorial

Is your phone call worth a life? Imagine a police officer firing his pistol into a crowded theatre while blindfolded. That’s essentially what drivers do everyday when they fiddle with their iPhones and Blackberries on busy streets and highways. Now people will say that guns don’t kill people. It’s the person who pulls the trigger that’s responsible. Indeed, cell phones won’t kill, and it’s the owners of iPhones and iPods who need to get their heads in the game when it comes to driving. Every time they’re behind the wheel, they’re in complete control of a 3,000-pound bullet, that commonly hurtles down the street at 50 kilometres per hour. Doing this while peeking occasionally at the cell phone in one’s lap is homicidal. The law calls it distracted driving, but when it

involves a deadly pile-up, it’s really negligent homicide. So what’s the solution? Much like has been done with drinking and driving, the prospect of losing one’s car might just be enough to convince cell phone users to ignore those rings. Or how about losing one’s licence. And to top that off, how about a public shaming. It’s just a matter of time before a pedestrian, or a child in a car’s baby seat, becomes a victim of someone’s selfish behaviour. If it’s so important, buy a BlueTooth device that offers hands-free operation. If you use your iPhone while driving, shame on you. If you see someone doing that, let them know it’s anything but cool. - Richmond Review

Celebrities attack BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – There was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday. I was disappointed too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support. To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about 9/11. In 2007 he declared that the official U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was “completely illegitimate” because “buildings don’t fall down like that.” I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him. Hannah has had lots of free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy Splash. Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested, and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline. It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration. The southern section from Cushing, Oklahoma oil storage facilities to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian “tar sands” oil that eco-celebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it. It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such as the one in Washington DC where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011. At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of the U.S. environmentalists who exclusively target Alberta. In a new book, oil sands pioneer and Suncor founder

Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims, and asks why they were reported so widely and uncritically. Hannah claimed “the contribution to the carbon in the atmosphere is unprecedented.” George cites a Royal Society of Canada report that concludes the entire oil sands operation is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions. Fossil-fuelled electricity generation is 16 per cent of Canada’s total. Vehicles and other transportation account for 27 per cent. “How does the oil sands contribution possibly qualify as unprecedented?” George asks. Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream from the tar sands project.” Canadians heard that too, thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary by David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie director James Cameron. George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a cluster of rare bile cancer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipewyan, and blamed it on oil sands mining. Headlines blared around the world. George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general risk, no. Other types of cancer in Fort Chip were lower than the general population. This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases – there is no cause for alarm.” Was this news trumpeted around the world? You can guess the answer. My point here isn’t to make fun of illinformed celebrities. It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream media. And I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Safe options for donations Further to the scam that was committed in the Shuswap and North Okanagan in the name of United Way. I would like to offer a few words of clarification following the initial media coverage. We sincerely regret that these criminals took advantage of some generous donors who were fraudulently led to believe that the door-to-door campaign was a legitimate fundraising activity for our United Way. This United Way has been supporting our region for over 50 years. Of the 28 community partners that we support, 11 of them serve the people of the Shuswap. We do not canvass door-to-door. We strive to offer secure methods for our donors to support us. These safe options include making a pledge at your workplace, in the form of a cheque in the mail, online at www.unit-

edwaynocs.com or by calling our office to give by credit card. The people who have been scammed will eventually, after an investigation, be reimbursed by their banks as this is definitely a case of fraud. It does however cause them stress and hardship in the meantime. United Way is not held liable for these funds; sadly, it’s our reputation that is the other victim in this crime. Thank you for all the concern and well wishes that have been expressed and we mirror these thoughts to those individuals who have been harmed by this fraudulent act. Linda Yule, Executive Director United Way North Okanagan Columbia Shuswap

On politics and skills training Two responses to two articles here. Number one is Brian Cowan. You say that the fairground is inappropriate for political activity? Where would such an opportunity take place then? It seems that political debate can’t take place in the legislature because Christy Clark suspended the sitting. Are you suggesting that you would accept a proper public debate in the near future? You also seem upset about letters to the editor about this. I’m sorry but it is my understanding that I should be able to espouse my political views in public and that the newspaper should retain the right to print it. In my view it is unseemly to go after the editors in an effort to silence dissent.

Next I’d like to address the column written by Tom Fletcher. He mentions Phil Hochstein who seems to discredit the way skills training is done in Alberta. This man seems to talk with some disdain about the journeymanapprentice system set up to ensure quality work is done by a professional work force. By ensuring that this happens, many of the nightmare scenarios such as “condo gate” and the Walkerton water disaster are at least kept to a bare minimum. There are reasons why the various journeymen certifications exist. It is not only to provide income to the recipient, but to provide the public access to safe, qualified workers. I can think of no reason why the entire journeyman/ap-

prenticeship pattern should not be mandatory for the applicable trades. As to the last part of Mr. Hochstein’s statement, to give credit to a government that gutted trades during the early 2000s is in my view a very cynical view of what a truly qualified workforce means. Perhaps he would prefer it if his plumber and mechanic were paid $15 an hour rather than the wages that their education has given them. It is hard to believe that someone who is paid to help ensure that the people who are trained would so openly attack the accreditation procedure so dearly needed. I’d say that it is past time for a new viewpoint. K. Blake Newton

1949

Premier Byron Johnson officially opened the Hope-Princeton link of the Southern Trans-Provincial Highway and E.C. Carson, minister of public works, informed the local board of trade that reconstruction of the Trans-Canada, Chase to Sicamous would be the next major project.

Known worldwide for its expertise, the BC Forest Service is once again sharing its knowledge with 24 operational and administrative staff of the Korean Forest Service and city governments. John Flanagan, superintendent of international development with the BC Forest Service’s Wildfire Management Branch, says this is the third Korean group to attend the course held in a classroom at the Salmon Arm Rapattack base and near a forest service road in Silver Creek. They are taking part in an internationally recognized fire investigation and cause determination course for determining a fire’s point of origin. During their two-week course, the students spend mornings in the classroom before heading to the Silver Creek plot burns to put theory into practice. “The practical work helps reinforce the theoretical and builds on the next’s day’s training,” says Flanagan, who notes language nuances sometimes make communication through a Korean translator difficult. “B.C. is recognized the world over as a leader in our training, knowledge transfer, our mutual aid and our firefighting.” Flanagan says wildfire issues are relatively new to South Korean whose forests were all but destroyed during the Korean War of the 1950s. “They replanted their country and now

Taking a closer look at wetlands By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Wetlands in Salmon Arm have been under the microscope recently, as part of the SHIM and WIM projects. Glenn Thiem of Forsite Consultants Ltd. came to city council Monday to report on phase one of the Sensitive Habitat Inventory Mapping and the Wetland Inventory Mapping projects his company was contracted to do for Salmon Arm. He said they have completed

71 wetlands and are wrapping up the final reporting and mapping. Mapping streams and wetlands now encompasses more areas and has been done to more detail – within 30 centimetres with GPS co-ordinates. He said there is more work to do on the Salmon River and associated tributaries, as well as other wetlands. The mapping doesn’t replace more stream-specific information, he said, but will help planners know where more in-depth stream examination should be done. It also points out obstruc-

tions. Among benefits, it will provide opportunities for better land-use planning, and can be expanded on in the future. It will also provide a way to plan, track and evaluate wetland habitat enhancement. The consultants discovered a fish ladder east of Salmon Arm, he said, and the mapping can help in the creation of other fish passage opportunities. Councillors expressed their appreciation for the work done in phase one, noting that it will be of great benefit to the city.

Meet Greg Kyllo – Twin Anchors Marine

reg Kyllo’s story is one that reminds us how hard work, vision and perseverance are the essential ingredients of success.Greg has a lot of pressure on his shoulders – as the President of both Twin Anchors Marine and TA Structures, he is the largest private sector employer in Sicamous, B.C., a community that was recently rocked by destructive ﬂoods. It’s no coincidence that Greg is in the business of building houseboats; Sicamous is known as the “houseboat capital of Canada.” As a small community where the population triples every summer, tourism industries like houseboat rentals are essential to the livelihood of every family in Sicamous. Founded in 1964 by Burt and Trudy Hannah, Twin Anchors Marine was the ﬁrst rental houseboat company in western Canada. Greg’s stepfather purchased the company in 1977 and now Greg runs the manufacturing side with his wife Georgina, while his brother Todd and wife Jolayna look after the rentals. It was Greg’s vision that “catapulted Twin Anchors from one-off builders to a whole production line” in 1993. Using the drafting skills he learned in high school, Greg designed the cruise craft that put the company on the international map. With a houseboat that had a stylish exterior and a hot tub, Twin Anchors was making millions of dollars, primarily from U.S. markets. But Greg was never content to rest on his laurels. Twin Anchors was capturing an increasing share of a market that was shrinking. With 80 per cent of their business going on across the border, and shipping costs prohibiting them from selling houseboats outside of a 1500-kilometre radius, Greg feared that Twin Anchors was too exposed to the U.S. market. So he started think-

ing about other ways his business could thrive. One night while sharing a couple beers aboard a Twin Anchors houseboat, his friend asked why the trailers he lived in on oil and gas drilling sites couldn’t be as luxurious as one of Twin Anchor’s houseboats. That got Greg thinking about the business that would become TA Structures. TA Structures built its first worker accommodation model in 2005 and since then business has been growing, despite the tough times that lay ahead. After the 2008 financial crisis, “the bottom fell out of both the marine and oil and gas sector,” Greg says. As luxury spending tightened and natural resource extraction slowed, Greg saw sales for both businesses slump. In January 2009, Greg employed 140 production workers. By July, he was down to 25. In typical fashion, Greg persevered. Focusing on the opportunities available to TA Structures, Greg kept both companies afloat, and today he once again employs 110 production workers. 2012 has been TA Structures’ best year yet and Greg projects they’ll do even better in 2013. “A lot of our production today is the result of good fiscal policy, especially with the mining sector,” Greg says, “Because of all the red tape government has cut, our sales have really picked up.” With the BC Jobs Plan’s commitment to 17 new and expanded mines by 2015, and its ambitious strategy to develop a liquefied natural gas industry that could generate a trillion dollars of economic activity in B.C. over the next 30 years, TA Structures should be able to grow and provide even more jobs in Sicamous soon. However, because of the highly-publicized floods that rocked Sicamous last June, Greg’s houseboat sales are at an all time low, and the

community has suffered because of the loss off tourism revenue. “The news media really sensa-d tionalized it,” Greg says, “making it look so bad was really what did the most damage.” Neverr one to be dissuaded, Greg’s companies sand-bagged their marina facilities and with a lot longg hours and hard work by their dedicated employ-ees, they were able to maintain operations. Greg indicated that the marine sector iss h showing signs of recovery in the U.S., with n strong interest expressed for ﬂeet expansion in 2013 by two of the 18 companies that theyy currently build for. Reduced houseboat replace-ment levels in commercial rental ﬂeets the pastt few years will result in big orders for Twin An-d chors in the years ahead. Until then, Greg and his community can rely on the good jobs thatt TA Structures provides. “We have good quality products and we treatt people properly so we have a good reputation,”” Greg says, “with any luck we will be hiring even more people again soon.” Greg has recently become involved in Sicamous politics, acting as the Deputy Mayor, Chair of the Finance Committee and sitting on the Economic Development Committee. He is currently working with local educational institutes to develop a skills training program that would help people in his community get a job that would allow them to stay close to home. “With the type of work we do, young people would really get a chance to learn lots of different skills,” Greg says proudly, “Welding, construction, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, you name it … we do a little bit of everything.” How Greg’s Story Connects with the BC Jobs Plan: Enabling job creation is paramount to economic prosperity. Twin Anchors Marine and

Greg Kyllo’s company, Twin Anchors Marine, is a major employer in Sicamous. TA Structures is the largest private-sector employer in Sicamous thanks to Greg’s perseverance through market ﬂuctuations and a recent natural disaster. When BC businesses diversify to earn new market share, they are better positioned to survive and take advantage of market changes. There’s a ripple effect across all BC’s sectors when government cuts red tape. Greg attributes a boom in TA Structures trailer sales to recent changes in mining regulations. Development of the liqueﬁed natural gas industry in BC will help create more jobs in the Sicamous area. Content supplied by Ministry of Jobs and skills training and responsible for labour.

She hopes to set up a community. “We want to create a community where people can come and get multiple services and the programs and practitioners can work together to meet the needs of their clients,” says Granville. “To have so many elements of health and wellness in once place, we thought it would be a great asset to the community.” The as-yet-unnamed centre will feature two yoga studios offering both heated and not-heated classes and pilates, as well as a variety of different health practitioners including osteopathy, physiotherapy, acupressure, massage, holistic therapies, counselling, nutritional counselling, Feldenkrais, craniosacral therapy, hypnotherapy and homeopathy. Joining Granville and the other yoga instructors is Donna Rao, a certified internationally recognized Iyengar teacher. Other unique features will be aerial yoga using silk hammocks suspended from the studio’s 12-foot ceilings. A certified nurse-midwife will also be teaching the prenatal yoga classes.

Love’s labour lost Salmon Arm and Kelowna-based dentist Sandy Crocker became an overnight media sensation last month when it was revealed that he had traveled to Ireland in search of a woman he had spoken to over a year ago for a mere two minutes. After a month of searching overseas, Crocker has returned home from the Emerald Isle empty-handed but not brokenhearted. “I returned home safely only to enter full steam into a very busy work schedule,” he told the Irish Daily Mail. “After what I felt was a solid effort, I did not

Sandy Crocker RETURNS EMPTY-HANDED find the girl but was delighted with a wonderful vacation.” Crocker, who works part-time in Salmon Arm doing sedation dentistry at the Acorn Dental Clinic, met a reddish-haired freckled woman in a cafe

in Enistymon County Clare on July 9, 2011. He was so taken aback by her that he took a month of vacation this fall and returned to Ireland. He looked high and low in Clare, Belfast, Cork and Dublin but to no avail. There were two glimmers of hope when he came across ‘two women that could have been his Enistymon girl’ but sadly for him, neither turned out to be the woman from the cafe. The 28-year-old says that he has no regrets because he met so many well wishers that he left Ireland with a warm feeling.

‘Hoop’ before red light camera Salmon Arm will contribute to a traffic study on the TransCanada Highway as one more step in its quest for an intersection camera at Alexander Street. City staff met with the province’s road safety engineer and it was recommended that a traffic safety and operation review of the corridor from Shuswap Street NE to 6th Street

NE be undertaken. “The study will assist in identifying safety issues that are unique to this section of roadway,” wrote Rob Nieuwenhuizen, city director of engineering and public works. “Further, the results of the study will aid in providing recommendations for suitable mitigation measures that would best improve safety for all users.”

Salmon Arm must contribute $8,500 towards the $46,000 study, to be taken from the allocation received from E Division for policing costs. Coun.

CSRD opposes changes to electoral boundaries By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors are telling Ottawa to leave well enough alone. The board added its voice to the chorus of concern over proposed federal electoral boundary changes. Directors reviewed a Sept. 26 letter from the City of Armstrong to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia protesting the removal of Falkland from the North-Okanagan Shuswap riding. Area D FalklandSilver Creek-Ranchero

director René Talbot said not only would the change mean Falkland residents, who are closely tied to Vernon, would have to go to Kelowna to see their MP, but would split his electoral area. Talbot said the change would make it impossible for people to see their MP and asked the board to support a strongly worded letter protesting the changes. “this makes no sense, all these realignments,” Talbot said, frustration evident. “They want to install 30 new MPs. How much is that going to cost? Economic times are pretty tough

all over the world right now and I don’t know why they (MPs) can’t look after 110,000 people.” Newly elected Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok seconded Talbot’s motion, pointing out proposed boundary changes effectively cut Sorrento in half. But Demenok noted this was his first board meeting since becoming a director in a September byelection and said he would be investigating the boundary issue further. Directors agreed unanimously to tell the commission to leave the boundaries where they are.

Walkway project offers way to remember By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm residents will soon have a new way to honour the memory of loved ones in the serene, natural setting of McGuire Lake Park. An agreement between the Shuswap Community Foundation and the city for the administration and delivery of the McGuire Lake Memorial Walkway project was finalized at a recent council meeting. The project involves the creation of a paving stone pathway at McGuire, on the east and west sides of the Japanese Friendship Gate. With a $1,500 donation to the foundation that will oversee the program, individuals will receive a memorial stone, engraved with pertinent information, which will be installed on the walkway. One thousand dollars of that donation would be put towards a Memorial Walkway Fund, to be used by the foundation for community projects. Phase one of the program, which includes 58 stones, has already been installed on the west side of the gate. Sales are expected to commence in November. Phase two is a city capital project anticipated for 2013, and will include 72 stones. The city and the foundation started developing the project in 2011, in response to numerous requests received by the city annually for memorial trees, benches and other items to be placed in parks. Coun. Marg Kentel noted another such request that will be coming to council in the coming weeks. Engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen said staff has been trying to contact the writer. “We’ve got about 35 requests for benches… the majority of the benches are requested in the McGuire Lake area,” Niewenhuizen explained. “There’s

only so many benches we can place. My understanding, talking with the parks manager, is that all the benches are placed, so the list will stay as is for a long

time.” Parks supervisor Brad Ackerman added the city can only accommodate so many requests in city parks, and called the Memo-

rial Walkway program a “viable solution that works in giving back to the community.” Coun. Alan Harrison said recently there are already many benches

in McGuire. However, he was sympathetic towards others wanting a memorial in the park. “I think what we’re saying to people is that it’s not that we don’t

want to have their loved ones remembered, and we appreciated what they’re offering to do, and we understand,” said Harrison. “I think change is al-

ways difficult… Once we get started on it, I think the first one or two might be difficult, but I think once we get started… I think it will work.”

Don’t text 911

Public Notice of Intent Road Name Changes Shuswap Lake Estates

The RCMP would like to remind all residents that 911 emergency calls cannot be received via a text message. There is not a universal text number for 911 so if you are to text it, it is not going to go anywhere. There is also no way for the caller to verify whether or not their text message has been received at a 911 centre and it is dangerous to assume that help is on the way when no voice contact has been made with an operator to confirm this.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure gives notice pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Transportation Act that an application has been made to change the name of Horner Place within the Highlands Development to Panoramic Way to better reflect its location. In addition, as a result of highway improvements, Golf Course Drive will be extended to include Fairway Hills Road and portions of Centennial Drive and Forest Drive.

Jennifer Chang Authentic Concrete Images specializes in Polished Concrete Floors for homes, retail and industrial locations. Polishing concrete is similar to sanding wood floors but using heavier equipment and diamond tooling. The finished product is a beautiful reflective surface that is durable and easy to maintain. The business was established in the fall of 2009 with enormous help from my brother, Kim. We have been a trail blazer in this new trade and service a large area; from the Kootenays to Merritt and into the Okanagan Valley. I am, however proud to call Salmon Arm Home. Polished Concrete is sustainable construction that is recognized as LEED Construction. Some of our clients are BC Parks, Thompson Rivers University and the City of Kamloops.

DriveABLE arrives in city The B.C. Government is opening nine more locations for DriveABLE, including one in Salmon Arm, to help reduce travel for those drivers, including seniors, who are referred to functional cognitive assessment. The number of locations has grown to 28 from 15 in 2011, with new locations just added in Campbell River, Duncan, Penticton, Port Alberni, Powell

River, Salmon Arm, Terrace, Vernon and Williams Lake. Earlier this year, DriveABLE service centres opened in Chilliwack, Cranbrook, North Vancouver and Richmond. The majority of referrals to DriveABLE by the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (OSMV) stem from reports to OSMV from medical practitioners who are

concerned about an individual’s cognitive abilities related to safe driving. In 2011, OSMV reviewed 140,000 driver medical examination reports, requiring about 2,700 or two per cent of those drivers to undertake the assessment. Government covers the cost of both the inoffice and on-road assessments for all drivers it refers.

Heartburn Reflux By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, #39 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

Curling reigns By Tammy Thielman OBSERVER CONTRIBUTOR

Accomplished curlers Darryl and Kate Horne are as dedicated to each other as they are to the sport of curling, itself. In fact, their combined curling accomplishments and contributions as players, volunteers and coaches are too numerous to list. The couple, who have been married for 35 years, have been to countless high-level competitions, from local to Olympic-level. Along with playing the game, the Horne’s enjoy volunteering and coaching all levels of curlers, from recreational to Olympic, junior to senior. The active semi-retired couple agree that curling is a game for life. Indeed, the sport has filled many years of their lives with happy memories. “It’s a sport for all ages, all levels. It’s a great game,” says Kate (formerly Kato), who as a young “basketball crazy” Jewels player growing up in Salmon Arm, thought curling was “boring.” Kate chuckles when she recalls that now. After meeting Darryl at the University of Alberta, Kate began curling in her early 20s, soon advancing from recreational to competitive curling, even going to the nationals as a rookie player. “We had no idea what an honour it was,” laughed Kate, who has since been to many prestigious regional, national and world competitions in both women’s and mixed leagues. The Hornes have two grown daughters. They lived in Alberta until 2009, when they moved back to Salmon Arm, Kate’s hometown. Now, Kate curls on a local senior women’s team with Olympian Sandra Jenkins. Kate began coaching last year, taking a high school boys’ team to the 2012 provincials. “It’s hard to be sitting on the other side of the glass,” chuckled Kate, who describes her love for “bringing the game to others, no matter what level they are at.” Constant boosters for the Salmon Arm Curling

Club, Kate encourages people to try the sport – simply call the club for information. The Horne’s started an inter-city Okanagan junior league about three seasons ago that has grown to include 18 teams from across the Thompson, Okanagan and Shuswap regions. Darryl, who was sidelined as a player due to numerous back surgeries, has dedicated himself to coaching, something he does every month of the year, even going on-ice in July. “I never really have time off,” says Darryl. “I’ll drive to Edmonton where the team practices, for ice time.” Coaching, said Darryl, “is a way to stay involved in the game.” Darryl, who comes from a curling family, coached Alberta’s Nedohin Team to bronze at the 2012 World Women’s Curling Championships. Despite moving to the Shuswap, Darryl continues to coach Team Nedohin, who qualified for the November 2014 Olympic trials. Team Nedohin also has direct entry into the 2013 Scotties to be held in Kingston, Ont. Team Nedohin, said Darryl, is aiming for 2014 Winter Olympics gold. When asked what he loves about curling, Darryl’s answer echoes Kate’s. “It’s a lifetime sport. Kids can curl from age five to...We have members in Salmon Arm who are over 90. You can curl at any level, socially or competitively.” Darryl enjoys the challenge of coaching. “There’s a lot to it: strategy, people management, logistics, sports psychology. You never quit learning.” As the couple recall many curling activities and accomplishments, it’s clear that the awards are not why they compete and coach. Their combined love for the game can be heard in their voices. Clearly, they deeply love the sport and sharing it with other people, as much as they love one another. “Darryl’s my best friend,” said Kate fondly. “Curling is something we share together.”

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Dedication: Curling is central to the lives of Darryl and Kate Horne and they encourage others to try the sport they love.

Teams take to Penticton for ﬁrst tourney The Abundant Specialty Advertising Salmon Arm SilverBacks Atom B Development Team, coached by Gerry Rasmuson and Brad May, headed to Penticton this past weekend, where the highlight of the team’s tournament was a resounding 8-2 payback win against Penticton. Sandwiched between some character-building losses against South Okanagan, Revelstoke and Summerland, the ’Backs came out on fire Saturday morning. With an assist by Damian Earl, Henry Lenarduzzi scored the first goal of the game, as the puck ripped past the Penticton net minder in the opening period. Goalie, Carson Irmen, made an incredible stick save, but the Vees persisted and tied the game up at 1-1 in the first period. A goal by Aidan Chan helped the ’Backs take the lead yet again, but Penticton came back with a breakaway goal to tie the game once again. Kai Fazan scored the next goal for the ’Backs, who then took charge and dominated the rest of the game to earn a solid 8-2

victory against Penticton. Goal scorers included Henry Lenarduzzi (3), Damian Earl (1) Aidan Chan (1) Mason Balon (2) and Kai Fazan (1). Players of the game for the tournament (four games in total) went to Carson Irmen, Henry Lenarduzzi, Braden Costa, Aidan Chan, Nic Barbosa, Logan Rasmuson, Lukas Sherman and Damian Earl. The weekend proved to be a great learning experience for the boys, who will meet Summerland next weekend.

Lots of heart The L. Turner Contracting Salmon Arm SilverBacks Atom A Development team travelled to Penticton Friday, to compete in their first tournament of the season. The boys had a hard time shaking off the road dust Friday, as they dropped the opener to the host Penticton, 10-2. Marino Bordin opened the scoring and Zander Stewart got the second goal. Player of the game went to Connor Johnson, centering a hard-working line of teammates Brendan Mayes

and Connor McKee. An early morning Saturday game saw the SilverBacks face off against the visiting Spokane Chiefs. This game was the pinnacle of the tournament for the ’Backs, highlighted by the strong play of the Feist-FeistHoward line. Taylor Howard opened the scoring, and then Jarred Feist hit the top corner after blocking a clearing attempt. Ty Bailey tucked in a backhand rebound of a Howard shot for the ’Backs third, and Colby Feist got his first of the night and then the Feist brothers set each other up for tap-ins to round out the scoring for the SilverBacks, who finished on top by a score of 6-0. Ben Bannister recorded the shutout for Salmon Arm, earning him the MVP award along with Colby Feist. Their next game saw the ’Backs pitted against their rivals from Kelowna. Feist claimed a hat trick, but that was all the offense the ’Back’s could muster, as they dropped their third game 6-3. MVP’s were Connor Kociuba and Connor McKee.

Their third game of the tourney was against visiting Arbutus. It took a physical toll on Salmon Arm, who, despite putting up a valiant effort, were visibly out of gas. Scoring for the Backs were Feist with two and Stewart. Their scoring touch earned both players MVP honours.

Tough contest The Salmon Arm Pee Wee Tier 2 Silvertips had back-to -back games this past weekend coming up against Westside Saturday. The game was a scoreless battle until the third period, but ended in a 2-0 loss. The team was fired up on Sunday heading into Kamloops to play their rivals. It was a see-saw battle that showed just what these Podollan Innsponsored Silvertips can do. They led the score almost the whole game, but with only 24 seconds left, Kamloops pulled their goalie while down 4-3 and managed a tying goal. Special mention goes out to Ryan Sadorsky, the hard-hat recipient, and Colton Dodge for his talent between the pipes.

Bell impresses with top-10 national ﬁnish Cody Bell earned a top-10 finish last Friday at the 2012 PING CCAA Golf National Championship hosted by Durham College at the Oshawa Golf and Curling Club.

A member of UBC Okanagan Heat men’s squad but playing as an individual, Bell was just one stroke higher than teammate Will Deck at 222 (74-73-75). “I’m happy with my

play,” said Bell from Oshawa. “My goal was to do better than I did in P.E.I. (at the 2011 CCAA Championships) where I was tied for 10th. I had the same result this year, so al-

though it could’ve been better, I’m happy with my result.” The men’s team title was once again won by the Humber Hawks, their fourth in a row. The UBC Okanagan team of

Jennifer Woods, Jessica Kozak and Alana Kent captured the women’s title with a 1-stroke victory over the Holland College Hurricanes, finishing at 501 for the championship.

SilverBacks shore up defence For the most part, the effort was there but the results definitely were not for the Salmon Arm SilverBacks in a threegame weekend as they dropped home games to the Penticton Vees (3-2) and the West Kelowna Warriors (5-2) and a road game to the Merritt Centennials (4-2). “I think in the third game, we had pretty good energy in Merritt,” said ’Backs head coach Scott Robinson. “We probably deserved a better fate than what we got; it was a slow start and we couldn’t make up ground.” The Cents jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period which prompted Robinson to make a goalie change, putting Adam Clark in for starter Colin Dzijacky. The first goal, with Brendan Kennedy in the box for interference, was a bit of bad luck as a Merritt shot deflected in off a Salmon Arm defenceman. The second was off a neutral-zone turnover and the third was shorthanded.

“(The goalie change) was more of a pull for reasons of, ‘Let’s wake up a bit here,’” said Robinson. “The first two were no fault of (Dzijacky but) it’s important to bounce back right away rather than giving them the next opportunity.” Salmon Arm never led during the threegame stretch but put a bit of a scare into Penticton Friday at Shaw Centre as they got late goals from Jeff Kennedy and Harlan Orr to get within one. All three Vees goals came on the man advantage and that proved to be the difference. “What cost us was our discipline,” said Robinson. “There were a couple of untimely penalties and you can’t give (Penticton) too many opportunities on the power play. We scored a couple and came back but it’s just not a recipe for success.” Another hindrance was the number of shots surrendered to Penticton and West Kelowna – 45

Taking care of the puck is important against (Penticton and West Kelowna) because they look to create scoring chances off turnovers.” The goaltending tandem of Clark and Dzijacky continues to keep the ’Backs in the

game most nights, and another bright spot on the weekend was the play of Carter Lukenda who had a point in each game. The rookie has been strong in the faceoff circle as well. “He’s benefitted from being on our power play and certainly he’s done the job well down in front of the net,” said Robinson. “Our power play has been good; we just need to shore up our defensive play.” That begins with improving the penalty killing which allowed six

Building interfaith relationships They call themselves the â&#x20AC;&#x153;interfaith amigos.â&#x20AC;? And, while they do sometimes seem more like a stand-up comedy team than a trio of clergymen, they know they have a serious challenge in making a case for interfaith understanding after 9/11. United Church of Christ Minister Donald Mackenzie, Rabbi Ted Falcon and Sheik Jamal Rahman maintain they became close, not by avoiding or glossing over their conflicts, but by running straight at them. They put everything on the table: the verses they found offensive in one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holy books, antiSemitism, violence in the name of religion, claims by each faith to have the exclusive hold

on truth, and, of course, Israel. Across America, interfaith initiatives are multiplying. Jews and Christians have held dialogues for years, but after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York, many interfaith groups decided it was urgent to include Muslims. Many Muslims were eager too, concerned that their faith not be defined by terrorism. There are now interfaith Thanksgivings, interfaith college clubs, interfaith womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groups and interfaith teams building affordable housing. What distinguishes the â&#x20AC;&#x153;amigos,â&#x20AC;? who live in Seattle but make presentations around North America, is a unique approach to what they

call â&#x20AC;&#x153;the spirituality of interfaith relations.â&#x20AC;? Clearly, all three clergymen are in the liberal wing of their respective faiths. Mackenzie, 65, recently retired from leading a large congregation in Seattle. As a young man, he taught in Lebanon. Falcon, 67, is a Reform rabbi with a doctorate in clinical psychology, who founded synagogues in Los Angeles and Seattle that meld meditation with Jewish tradition. Sheik Rahman, 59, is a Sufi, focused more on spiritual wisdom than strict ritual. He co-founded an unusual mixed-faith congregation in Seattle. The three have conducted several inter-

faith workshops and began meeting weekly for spiritual direction, combining mutual support with theological reflection. They started an AM radio show, and they travelled together to Israel and the occupied territories. In 2009, they wrote Getting to the Heart of Interfaith and more recently, What We Found at the Heart of Interfaith. Sponsored by Shuswap Settlement Services, the Interfaith Amigos will speak at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3 and present a free workshop Sunday, Nov. 4, at First United Church. The event is open to believers of all faiths and non-believers alike.

Bird photo ďŹ&#x201A;ies high By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

The bird may be a common sight, but the pose is not. An unusual photo of a raven has won former Salmon Arm resident John Marriott the runner-up prize in the Animal Portraits category of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prestigious wildlife photography competition, the 2012 Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Marriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image, Fluff-Up, an engaging portrait of a feathery, puffed-up common raven from Jasper National Park, was one of just 100 winning photographs chosen from more than 48,000 entries from 98 countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wildlife Photographer of the Year is like the Oscars of wildlife photography and the Animal Portraits category is akin to being runner-up in the Best Actor category,â&#x20AC;? explained Marriott. Now in its 48th year, the Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is an international showcase for the best in wildlife photography. Two British institutions that champion the natural world, the Natural History Museum

Get a load of this!

Fine feathers: John Marriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique image of a common bird gets kudos at a prestigious, international photo competition. and BBC Worldwide, own and administer the competition. Every year, thousands of entries pour in and are judged by an international jury of

John Marriott PHOTOGRAPHER photography experts. One of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most well-known and respected wildlife photographers, Marriott entered the maximum allowable portfolio of 20 photos.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually thought some of my other photos would do better, I thought it was pretty funny looking,â&#x20AC;? says Marriott of the raven that first appeared as a shapeless lump of puffed-up black, squatting in the middle of a snow-covered road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a unique shot of a very common animal.â&#x20AC;? So unique, it was chosen as the official banner image representing the 2012 competition winners. Exposure will also come on a series of products associated with the 2012 Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, which will be on display at Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal BC Museum Nov. 30 to April 1, 2013. Marriott was raised

in Salmon Arm and graduated from SASS in 1987. His father, Roger, sister, Dianne (Middleton), and brother, Scott, still live in the Shuswap. Marriott has sold images in more than 45 countries around the world and is the national wildlife photography columnist for Outdoor Photography Canada magazine. He has sold 40,000 books, more than 140,000 greeting cards and is working on another book. He spent 250 days out in the field, from Nunavut to B.C. and Alberta last year and led would-be wildlife photographers on tours to the Chilcotin, Great Bear Rainforest and on coastal whale-watching excursions. Like many other Canadians, he is opposed to the Enbridge pipeline proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too big of a risk to take with our salmon, compared to the economic benefits,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They talk about creating all the jobs, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about the jobs that would be killed if there was an oil spill â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including mine.â&#x20AC;? Marriottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books are available at Bookingham Palace in the Mall at Piccadilly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Life has become almost a burden that sometimes you wondered whether life was going to ease a bit. Lighter and brighter days are ahead of you. Still, you will have to change your attitude towards money matters, which will take over your thoughts. You might feel more limited now. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): From now on, you will be out and about getting the attention you craved. People will tend to align to you as you exude more confidence and prominence. You will be thinking of ways to change your look. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Perhaps your social life kept you busy for a while. A personal cycle seems to be reaching its completion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to withdraw and reflect upon the recent events. You will come to the realization of many underlying things that reside within your psyche. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your career necessitated your undivided attention. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as if you were not comfortable with such demands. Soon, you will focus upon issues that will link you directly to groups, friendships and acquaintances. Your social conscience will heighten in the following days. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your attention has shifted from themes revolving the higher education, your moral codes and life philosophies into a more realistic set of mind. You are aware of your ambitions and want to bring them out and be recognized for all you hard work. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A period of self-searching has made you face your deeply-rooted problems. This self-analysis is urging you to expand your mind to new ideals and visions. You are now prepared to take a leap of faith and taste what life has to offer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your attention is shifting from the social area of your life, which are your closest relationships into those that are more meaningful to you. You will seek equity and fairness within matters such as joint finances. Examine closer any unresolved business between you two. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keeping yourself in a good physical shape has been on your mind lately, but now, your one-to-one relationships have come into focus. You will be evaluating the needs you require within a relationship. You crave commitment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You have had your share of fun; perhaps you have started a new relationship or created something that represented your true individuality. Now, your attention is oriented towards your work life and daily chores. Your schedule is picking up on faster rhythm. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your domestic life and the parents were pretty prominent in your picture recently. You have told yourself that as of now, you need to exercise and implement some fun into your life. Sure, you will always need to feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;at homeâ&#x20AC;?, but that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t confine you from having fun! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keeping up with all your social networks might have felt like a heavy workload! Your mind frame had to undergo a serious mental adjustment due a higher than usual flow of information. It was certainly fun, nonetheless, now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to retrieve and concentrate on your own domestic affairs. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have reexamined your financial situation and have set a budget for the weeks to follow. Moving forward, your mind will experience an overload. There is so much to do and so much to accomplish. But as always, you will have the right organizational skills to carry all them out.

GROOT, RANDALL JAY (Randy) Born August 6, 1949 On October 19, 2012 Randy lost his battle with cancer at 63 years of age. He is peaceful now and would want that you do not cry and just hang on to the wonderful memories you have of him. He will be deeply missed by his wife Susan, children Kim and R.J., two grandchildren, Brad and Collin, family and many dear friends. We will cherish every moment we had together. He was always there to offer a helping hand to others but rarely would ask for help himself. Randy was a very sensitive man, a true original that can not and will not be duplicated.

HILDEGARD HEGEL (nee Gorray) March 30, 1927 - September 27, 2012 It’s is with the deepest sorrow that we say goodbye to our beautiful kind Mother, Grandmother and GreatGrandmother, who slipped away quietly at home after a long couragous battle with cancer. She was born in Wenna-Eickel, Germany and came to Canada in May 1948 with her husband Herman and daughter Renate. Predeceased by her husband of 54 years Herman (1999) and her brother Eric Gorray (2001). Left to chersh her memory are all her 8 loving children, Renate (Bruce) Logan, Laura (Laury) Haines, Margarete (Allan) Gouge, Jerry Hegel, Linda (Dan) Johnson, Ron (Sherri) Hegel, Ray Hegel and Rick Hegel; 13 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Also her good treasured friend Marianne and many friends and relatives in Germany. We little knew that morning, that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. 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 seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link gain.

JONES, ALLEN GLEN September 5, 1942 – October 11, 2012. Allen was born in Stettler, Alberta, but grew up in Calgary. He passed away peacefully with family and friends by his side. He was grateful for the time he spent at home during his illness, from April to Oct 1st, being tended to by his longtime companion and friend, Ruth, with the help of their two dear friends, Liz Rasmuson and Sheila Halvorson. Allen is survived by his companion and best friend, Ruth Keskinen, his daughters, Dana Jones, and Karen (Gerry) Babin, his sisters, Clarice Cardinall of Edmonton, AB, Elaine (Alfons) Schuh, Calgary, AB and Lori (Greg) Saunders of Vernon, BC. Also by his brothers, Bill Jones Anglemont, BC, and Don (Naida) Jones, of Calgary, also, the children and their families of Ruth Keskinen: Stig, Jr. (Paula) Keskinen, Kit (Warren) Hobbs, Lila (Val) Cugini, Rita (Darren) Eley, and their children and grandchildren, all of whom were considered by Allen to be his extended “family”... along with his adopted dog, Tiki. He was predeceased by his mother, Helen, his father, Elmer, sister Linda Jones and Mel (Val) Jones, and Bonnie (wife of Bill Jones). Allen owned his own business, New Home Plans. His house plans appeared monthly in Friday AM. He had a high quality website - newhomeplans. net, and most of his house plans were ordered by U.S. clients. His pride and joy, however, was in designing the Salmon Arm Legion. He was a born artist and painted murals both in the former Salmon Arm Hotel pub and dining room. He also loved doing cartoons and creating crossword puzzles. He was multi-talented and had a brilliant mind. Allen was an active Legion member and volunteer. He enjoyed socializing with fellow Legion members. His main interests were camping, travelling, science, designing homes, art, and watching sports of all kinds. His favorite teams were the Calgary Flames and Calgary Stampeders. Next on his list were the BC Lions and Vancouver Canucks (unless they were playing Calgary). Special thanks to Dr. C.A. Welder who had such a caring attitude; also to the nursing staff at Shuswap Lake Hospital for always going the extra mile. Donations may be sent to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #62. A brief ceremony and light lunch, followed by a celebration of Allen’s life will be held on Saturday Oct 27 at 10 am at the Royal Canadian Legion, Salmon Arm. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Allen’s obituary at www.ﬁschersfuneralservices.com.
