n Motivational speaker Spencer West of the humanitarian organization Me to We, shares some of his accomplishments,which include climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for drought-stricken Kenyans, with School District #83 students, grades 6 to 8, Thursday during a presentation at Shuswap Middle School. West also commended the students for their ongoing support of Me to We and its sister organization Free the Children. To date, more than $69,000 has been raised in the district to support the organization’s Adopt a Village program, and recently students of the district’s Me to We Leadership Committee travelled to Ghana where they helped build a school.
Another E. coli case linked to Gort’s
Food contamination: No word yet on the source of bacteria at production facility. By Martha Wickett
market news staff
An additional case of food-borne E. coli illness is being linked to Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm, bringing the total number of cases to 23, including the death of a Vernon woman. As of Wednesday, the Public Health Agency of Canada reported the most recent case is located in B.C. So far, the Gort’s cheese products have been linked to 11 cases of E. coli in B.C.,
nine in Alberta, one in Saskatchewan, one in Manitoba and one in Quebec. Meanwhile, Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials are not saying whether E. coli 0157:H7 has actually been discovered in the cheese production facility during their inspections. Tuesday afternoon, the CFIA replied to questions from the Market News by stating: “The CFIA has conducted a food safety investigation at Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm to assess how
and where contamination may have occurred. The CFIA will issue a final report of its investigation as soon as a full analysis of findings has been completed.” Similarly, the BC Centre for Disease Control offered no timeline or information. In the meantime, Salmon Arm residents continue to express their sympathy and support for Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm and the Wikkerink family who owns the operation. At DeMille’s Farm Mar-

ket, which has carried Gort’s cheese for more than two decades, owner Brad DeMille said while he will reimburse customers who have proof of purchase with returned cheese, he won’t be submitting any credits to Gort’s. “I think it adds insult to injury. They’re going through a challenge; I think they can survive this, but they need all the help they can get.” He said DeMille’s will be ordering cheese as soon as the farm is able to supply it again.
“I feel so horrible for them. It’s so beyond their control. CFIA is still looking for the original cause. It could happen to any one of us. What if somebody gets sick from an apple?” he remarked, adding, “They have my support 100 per cent.” At Hanna & Hanna Orchards, co-owner James Hanna said the situation is tragic, and he hopes the cheese farm will be able to overcome this. “My heart goes out to them.”

Water quality issues identified
Friday, October 4, 2013 Shuswap Market News
SLIPP: Concerns for Shuswap-area rivers, Mara Lake. By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAff
Water quality sampling shows the Salmon and Shuswap rivers and Mara Lake as areas of concern to be addressed through the next stage of the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process. In a presentation to Salmon Arm city council, SLIPP partners Mike Simpson, regional manager with the Fraser Basin Council, and Paul Demenok, Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C director and SLIPP steering committee chair, outlined the water quality monitoring effort undertaken over the past three years, and what the collected data has revealed. While Shuswap Lake is by and large considered OK, there are areas of concern, where bacteria and nutrient levels are or have been in excess for extended periods. These areas include the Salmon and Shuswap rivers and, resulting from the latter, Mara Lake. There have also been water quality issues identified at Christmas Island, where the water is shallow, and in Mara by the Sicamous water intake.
Simpson said this related to the flooding that occurred in 2012. Canoe, Tappen, White and Newsome creeks were all found to have high levels of E. coli, above recreational guidelines. But Simpson said their overall contribution to Shuswap Lake is minimal. Current data is based
Paul Demenok on three years of water quality monitoring coordinated under SLIPP. Simpson pointed out how this period included a high salmon spawning year, as well as last year’s flooding in Sicamous and around the Shuswap. Over this time, SLIPP monitored about 250 sites/areas of concern. Among them was Salmon Arm’s sewage treatment plant and Nielsen Beach, popular among houseboaters. Regarding the former,
Simpson suggested the impact has been minimal. As for the beach, where there was concern for greywater contamination, Simpson said a lot has been done voluntarily to reduce the impact of greywater from houseboats, and the data positively reflects this. “Both of those rivers (Shuswap and Salmon) contribute up to 100 times more phosphorous than the sewage treatment plant and the houseboats combined, with what we can determine from the data we’ve got so far,” said Simpson. Asked what might be done to limit runoff from agricultural activities, Simpson emphasized there may be other sources affecting water quality, and explained the whole basis of SLIPP’s water quality monitoring effort was to gather the data to confirm what the numbers were. Addressing those sources would be the next stage. When asked what the city might be requested to contribute financially towards the program in the coming year, Demenok said it would be premature to offer a figure at this time, as it’s something
the steering committee is working out. “It looks like we’ll have some additional partners who are contributing this year on a funding basis, it looks like we may lose a partner or two…,” said Demenok. “We know that the funding formula right now is not equitable. As you know, my area, Area C, picks up about $140,000 of the $355,000 each year. So we do have to resolve that one at some point.” More information about SLIPP, including information on water quality in the region, can be found at http:// www.slippbc.ca.

Premier premature in counting on LNG There is a perplexing situation surrounding the B.C. Liberals hinging the economic future of the province on liquefied natural gas to the tune of more than $400 billion in revenue. The importance of natural gas to the Liberal government first made light during the election campaign, when the Liberals promised to clear the provincial debt and establish a Prosperity Fund with natural gas royalties and revenues. Since winning the election, the Liberals have continued to rest much of the province’s future economic success on the natural gas industry. In fact, Clark is heading out on tour, to essentially promote the natural gas industry in British Columbia. With this kind of talk, the province is counting its chickens before they’ve hatched. The problem is, the natural gas industry in British Columbia is in its infancy. Of the handful of proposed liquefied natural gas plants alluded to in the Prosperity Fund calculations, three have received export permits, although clients have yet to be secured, and only two have passed environmental review. Then there are the pipelines needed to get the natural gas to the LNG plants, most of which have not passed through the environmental assessment stage. But Clark is going out there, telling the world B.C.’s natural gas industry will be providing clean energy to the rest of Canada and the world, although environmental groups dispute the “clean” part. Hinging the province’s future on what can best be called unhatched chickens is not very prudent. Unless, of course, Clark knows something about the regulatory process she isn’t sharing. –Penticton Western News

Look up and see the wavering Vs
In the fall of each year, for as long as I can remember, I find myself looking up to search the skies for those long, wavering v-shaped formations of ducks and geese honking and flying their way south. Each time I do see a flock of ducks or geese fly over, I feel a sense of sadness somewhat akin to loneliness. It’s hard to explain such a feeling. Perhaps it is caused, in part, because summer is at an end and the thought of a long winter lies ahead. But there is more to it. It is a more internal sadness. I guess it’s because, deep down inside, I know the natural world around us is in a continual state of change – change, I’m afraid, that’s not for the better. It is instinct that drives migratory waterfowl to fly south for the winter and return each spring. Instinct strong enough to compel them to fly towards ever-changing wintering grounds only to return in spring to often-altered nesting and rearing areas. They do so because they have no alternative. They are, quite simply, biologically engineered to migrate north
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray each spring and south each fall as countless generations have done before. It is their life cycle. I remember, as a kid growing up on the Prairies, standing on the back steps with my whole family, as did all our neighbours, and looking up as tens of thousands of silhouetted ducks and geese flew overhead for what seemed hours. Years later I had the opportunity to fly in a Cessna airplane above Delta Marsh in Manitoba, the largest known migratory bird stationing area on the planet, and look down at hundreds of thousands of ducks and geese with their wings shimmering in the sunlight. It was a spectacle I shall never forget. Since both those experi-
ences, the natural habitat of far too many waterfowl populations has been altered dramatically. Marshlands have been drained to create land for both agriculture and development. Pollution, climate change and human encroachment have all taken their toll. And yet, the annual migrations continue at least for now. Scientifically speaking, ducks and geese, as well as other migratory birds, know when it is time to begin their migration south because they recognize and interpret certain clues from their environment such as the change in length of the days, weather and seasonal reduction in food sources. Depending on the species, ducks and geese migrate all over the United States, Central and South America. I always find it fascinating that ducks and geese fly in their v-shaped formations for such a specific reason. According to scientists, it is because the lead bird of the formation breaks the air and creates an updraft which reduces air resistance for the next bird, which in turn reduces the resistance for the
next and so on – with the lead position changing regularly to prevent individual birds from becoming exhausted. By flying in such a formation, it is estimated they use 50 to 70 per cent less energy. Pretty amazing. While I know the numbers of migratory waterfowl will never be what they are when I was a child a half century ago, I also know their numbers are not in any real immediate danger. I do, however, have some worries because I know that we, as a species, seem so damned determined to interfere with nature at the expense of so many wild creatures. What a shame it would be to look up into the autumn skies and not hear the distant honking of geese or see their familiar wavering v-shaped formations. It would be a sadness far greater than that of summer’s end or the thought of the long winter that lies ahead. Although there may be a tinge of sadness, I am still and forever grateful for each fall and each opportunity to look up and see those wavering Vs as the honk their way south.

Gallery displays faces of art Salmon Arm Art Gallery presents “Essence of Being,” an exhibition of portrait drawings by members of two local drawing groups. The opening reception is Friday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m., featuring live music and refreshments. The portraits are all executed with dry media, and 24 individual portraits will be on display. In addition, the two groups have collaborated on four large-scale works. “This is a real celebration of the human portrait and the artist’s ability to observe the nuance and subtleties of flesh, bone, expression and emotion,” says Lisa Figueroa, group leader and participating artist. “And as the elements are shaped on paper,
viewers are given a glimpse into the model and the artist’s essence of being.” Participating artists are from the Shuswap Life Drawing Group and Lisa Figueroa’s Portrait Drawing Class. The Coffee Break with artist talk takes place Thursday, Oct. 17 from 2 to 4 p.m. Everyone who loves artist trading cards is invited to visit the gallery to a “make and trade” session from 3 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8. Drawing media will be on hand to create new trading cards in this event that is free and open to all ages.

Headstones reveal history The temperature may be dropping but Salmon Arm Museum and Haney Heritage Village curator Deborah Chapman is preparing one of her favourite outdoor activities – taking people on her annual tour, “Speak of the Dead.” On Sunday, Oct. 6 Chapman will again lead a stroll through the Salmon Arm Cemetery, sharing the history of some of the area’s notable pioneers. The cemetery was purchased from Mr. Jas Allen in 1894 and a former caretaker believes the purchaser, Mrs. Agnes McGuire wanted somewhere to bury her dead. Her headstone is in a family plot with her husband, Alexander, and son Charles. In his book Historic Routes, author Denis Marshall writes that when Sarah Agnes Hud-
Sa
son McGuire alighted from a Canadian Pacific Railway coach at the Salmon Arm Station in 1892, she could be forgiven for having second thoughts about claiming a dubious legacy. The land was bush and McGuire had been left a desolate looking log building “general store” and less than a quarter section of land. The community was only 200 souls and she had been raised in Montreal. McGuire set to work converting her

son’s trading post into a respectable general store. To learn more about this determined and astute woman and hear other fascinating stories, join Chapman on Sunday at 1 p.m. in the old section of Mt. Ida Cemetery. But, get your ticket first. Space is limited. Call 250-832-5243 to reserve a spot. Admission is $7.50 and includes a cup of hot chocolate.

Shuswap Rowing & Paddling (SARP) It is with great pleasure and pride, that Shuswap Association for Rowing and Paddling and fellow outriggers wish Outrigger Racer Randy Brooks, the very best and much success with his upcoming race in Hawaii. Randy will be paddling with a team of men from as far as Quebec, New York City and Hawaii in the world’s most prestigious outrigger canoe race, the Molokai Hoe on October 13, a total of 38 miles in length. Each year over 1000+ paddlers from around the world compete in the Molokai Hoe, the men’s world championship in outrigger canoe racing. This year marks the Molokai Hoe’s 61st crossing of the treacherous Ka’iwi Channel. The Molokai Hoe continues one of Hawaii’s most important cultural traditions and honors canoe paddlers everywhere. It is a test of physical and mental endurance, determination and teamwork, while battling nature’s extreme elements. It has been claimed that the Ka’iwi Channel is one of the most treacherous spans of ocean in the world and the current record time for the difficult passage is under 5 hours. Randy will complete one of the most important feats a paddler can hope to experience! And their team has a very good chance of winning in their category – masters men.

October start for primary care The South Shuswap community is delighted to announce that Judy Deringer, nurse practitioner, will soon be providing primary health care services to residents in Sorrento and the South Shuswap. The position is funded by Interior Health, and the Sorrento and Area Community Association is providing the space and infrastructure to make the service possible. Deringer will be located in an office above Munro’s Drug Store in Sorrento. Access is from the rear of the store. Office hours are yet to be determined but will be widely publicized once formalized. Deringer will spend time in the community in health promotion and disease prevention activities. She will also be developing a schedule of community meetings where residents can meet her and learn more about the services she will be
able to provide. A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse with a masters degree as a nurse practitioner. Nurse practitioners do not replace doctors but are complementary to the work of a physician. In addition to providing health education, Deringer will respond to a number of health-related issues with solid advice, writing most prescriptions, ordering tests and managing most chronic health problems. A referral from a physician is not required. The Sorrento and Area Community Association will be fundraising in the South Shuswap community to help with the funding of this important community initiative that brings accessible health care back to the community. Stay tuned for information about how you can help to support the Sorrento and Area Community Health Centre.

What women should know about heart disease Millions of women around the country live with cardiovascular disease and may not know it. The consequences of being uninformed can be fatal. According to the National Coalition for Women With Heart Disease, heart disease is the leading cause of death in American women. More women die from heart disease than breast cancer in any given year, and the Public Health Agency of Canada says that heart disease is the leading cause of death among Canadian women over the age of 55. That’s a frightening reality that might surprise some. What puts women at risk? There are a number of factors that can put a woman at risk for heart disease. • Hypertension: High blood pressure can exert extra stress on blood vessel walls and make them more likely to get clogged. • Cholesterol levels: Cholesterol in the blood can build up on the inside of blood vessels and lead to blockages that can cause a number of different problems.
• Smoking: Women who smoke have a higher risk of heart attacks than nonsmoking women. Those who smoke and take birth control pills are at an even higher risk. • Obesity: The chance for heart disease increases with a woman’s weight. Even losing a little bit of weight can help diminish the chance. • Diabetes: High blood sugar can damage the arteries that supply blood to the heart. • Family history: A woman with blood relatives who were diagnosed with heart disease is at a heightened risk of developing heart disease. • Lack of physical exercise: Inactivity can promote heart disease. Daily physical activity can go a long way to help the heart and prevent heart disease. Preventing heart disease Recognizing the risk factors for heart disease is just the beginning when it comes to prevention. Once those risk factors are known, it’s up to women to take steps to live a more healthy lifestyle. Fortunately, there are
many ways women can do just that. • Exercise daily. Thirty minutes of exercise per day is recommended. This can improve cardiovascular health by getting the blood moving through the body. It can also help women lose weight, decreasing risk for other ailments as a result. • Quit smoking.. Do not use tobacco products. Smoking is one of the biggest risk factors for developing heart disease. Smoking narrows the arteries in your heart and can also contribute to the hardening of arteries, called atherosclerosis. This condition can ultimately lead to a heart attack. Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke replaces some of the oxygen in the blood, according to the Mayo Clinic. This can raise blood pressure and force your heart to work harder. • Eat healthy. Eating foods that are low in cholesterol and sodium can help with heart disease risk. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy products, and other sources of whole fiber can help. Consumption of fish, which is high in omega-3 fatty acids, is

also beneficial. • Maintain a healthy weight. A doctor or nutritionist can help you determine a healthy weight for your body type and height. Most use calculations to determine a body mass index, or BMI, which considers certain factors, including height and weight, to determine if you have a proper amount of body fat. Waist circumference is also a tool used to measure how much abdominal fat a person has. • Go to the doctor regularly. A doctor can run certain tests to discover any red flags for potential heart problems. He or she will check blood pres-
sure, cholesterol levels, conduct screenings for diabetes, and discuss family history. With all of this information, the doctor will be able to make certain assumptions about heart disease risk and guide you on the path to finding a program that will be effective for you. Although heart disease is the foremost killer of women in North America, it can largely be prevented and risk factors managed with adequate health care. Women living with any of the aforementioned risk factors should make an appointment with their doctor to determine a course of action. ❏

CSRD alters rules on composting By Barb Brouwer
market news staff
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District will now have a say in how composting facilities will operate in the Salmon Valley. And amendments to the Salmon Valley Land Use bylaw approved by CSRD directors at the Sept. 12 board meeting come with some regulatory teeth. CSRD Development Services manager Gerald Christie says members of the public had expressed concerns regarding composting facilities – concerns that were heard at two public meetings in Silver Creek in 2012. Chief concerns centred around the impact composting would have on water quality, odour, setbacks and required parcel size for composting facilities. Members of the farming community, who often compost dead farm stock as a part of regular farming
practice, and a local meat processing plant expressed concerns that another level of bureaucracy would hinder their operations and ability to do business. Until the Sept. 12 board meeting, composting was not defined or regulated by the regional district, although the practice is regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of the Environment and the Agricultural Land Commission. “The intention of this amendment is to regulate commercial/ industrial composting facilities that bring in material and sell compost off-site,” wrote Development Services team leader Sharen Berger in a report to the board. “If composting occurs as a normal farm practice it would be considered a permitted accessory use in zones where agriculture is permitted.” New definitions for organic matter and
organic matter composting facility were deemed necessary to provide clarification to property owners and residents alike. One of the key changes in the amendment is that composting facilities are restricted to parcels larger than 30 hectares in size, says Christie. The bylaws were referred to several agencies for comment and Interior Health recommended approval subject to a number of conditions regarding minimizing risk and the protection of drinking water and public health. Following unanimous approval of the bylaw, directors then added their support to the passing of a secondary bylaw, authorizing fines of put to $500 for a variety of violations. Violations that carry the biggest fine are primarily those dealing with the design and construction of the composting facility.

workmanship is the fact that seven Shuswap Quilters’ Guild members took home 36 ribbons in the Textile and Needle Arts Division of the Salmon Arm Fair. Nedila describes the guild as a wonderful teaching and learning environment. “There are a number of skilled teachers in the group and we are always willing to have more,” she says. “And of course, there’s plenty of room for more quilters, or would-be quilters who are learning how to quilt, or want to learn how to quilt. Newcomers of any calibre are very welcome.” If you have any questions regarding the guild, call Carol at 250-832-4263 or Blanche at 250832-9045.

The SAFE House has received 229 quilts in almost 21 years and 34 quilts have been given to victim services over three years. The total includes the 31 quilts that Quilter of the Year Joanne Colleaux and quilter Carole Jones were able to gather from other guild members to send to Calgary for recent flood victims. “The level of workmanship that comprises many of the donated quilts is quite often heirloom quality and often renders recipients speechless,” says guild member Trudy Nedila.

The Shuswap Quilters’ Guild has begun another season sharing their talents with those in need. On Sept. 25, Blanche Hartnett presented Marilyn Kalke, resident co-ordinator of SAFE House with eight quilts and Debbie Beadle and Cheryl Ashe of RCMP Victim Services with six quilts. Kalke said the fact the guild has been donating quilts to the women’s shelter for 20 years, “is absolutely amazing - I can’t thank you enough.” She said the quilts make such a difference for the women who come to the shelter. Ashe noted that the quilting is done with loving care, “and that will be passed on” to the people victim services serves. This brings the number of quilts donated to the two groups, plus

Packed hall ponders pellet plant
C T O
By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
With people lined up out the door at the recent public hearing, it was clear many people have strong feelings about the proposed pellet mill for Chase. Chase councillors listened to almost two hours of both concerns and praise at the Tuesday meeting. Pinnacle Renewable Energy has applied for an official community plan amendment as well as a rezoning to accommodate the pellet plant, which is forecast to create 25 jobs and boost the Chase economy. Concerns regarding noise, water and air pollution were raised as well the potential for increased road and rail traffic. Chase resident Mary Porter noted there are already a high number of train-related accidents in Chase as well as problems with bored kids playing chicken with trains. If the pellet mill is approved, the tracks along Alymer Road would be reactivated, and a number of additional trains would be added to those already going through the area. Concerns about dust were raised, pointing to

n Chase residents packed the community hall in Chase Tuesday for a public hearing on a proposed pellet mill in Chase. a similar pellet mill in Williams Lake. Council was reminded that many residents have respiratory problems. The potential for added road traffic had some worried about the additional costs for taxpayers as a result of road wear and tear. While many expressed their hesitation to agree to a new mill, others praised council for considering such a proposal and expressed the hope that other similar businesses would come along. A reminder was made that Chase would not be turning into a mill town if the pellet mill was approved, because Chase has always been a mill town. From the 1900s until just eight years ago, Chase had a mill operating on the site of the proposed mill and apparently there were
no complaints. It was argued that additional road traffic would go unnoticed, and that the mill is in some ways being discriminated against. Attention was brought to Tru Value, Home Hardware, Lordco and other stores in the area who all have supply trucks coming in with no complaints expressed. The complaints about potential air quality problems were challenged by residents who pointed to the many trains that pass through the area transporting coal and releasing dust into the air, without complaints being submitted to CP Rail. Another person addressed the fact that many people in Chase often leave their vehicles idling. While some feared the pellet mill might be
an eyesore on the road, it was pointed out that a scrap yard, recycling depot and vehicle garage are also along the same street, and the area isn’t an upscale subdivision. Other communities such as Prince Rupert were referred to as examples of towns that died after they lost a job-supplying mill. Many shared their hopes that the proposed mill might boost local business, add others, and repopulate the area. Several parents told how their children had to move outside the area to get work, that schools have been closed and hockey teams shut down due to a shortage of players. They hope that a mill supplying jobs would be the breath of life Chase needs. A number of residents

Accused sentenced in drug bust Those accused in a drug bust in the North Shuswap have been sentenced. In December 2012, Chase and Salmon Arm RCMP as well as the South East District General Investigative Section conducted Project E-Poise, an investigation which led to a series of drug and firearm search warrants in the North Shuswap on Eva Road and ‘Heroin Hill’ in Scotch Creek, as well as in Chase.
To date, Robert Theodore (Buster) Ehlert, 72, was convicted of two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and received a suspended sentence, reports Sgt. Gary Heebner of Chase RCMP. Richard John Maki, 42, was convicted of one count of trafficking in a controlled substance and received a 90-day jail sentence, to be served on weekends. Ernest Harvey Klassen,
61, was convicted on numerous counts under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, and received three concurrent jail sentences for eight months, as well as a mandatory firearms prohibition for 10 years. A fourth man, Waylon Faulhafer, is awaiting trial on charges under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, as well as firearms offences under the Criminal Code.
Immediately following the Project E-Poise investigation, a separate search warrant was conducted on a residence on ‘Heroin Hill” in Scotch Creek relating to firearms offences. A number of firearms were seized and, in the public interest, an application to prevent the return of the firearms to the owner has been forwarded to Crown counsel, continues Heebner.

Heat spend weekend on road, building character By Scott Koch contributor
Ghostriders, a perennial hot team in an arena they call the Zoo. Five hundred fans watched their local team hold on for a 5-4 win after the Heat tried to pull off late game heroics but ran out of time. Mike Byer went the distance between the pipes facing 34 shots, Zac Hoskins got his first of the season, with Jay Sidhu, Boyle and Venne getting the others. McKenzie Guardiero continued to play in-your-face hockey including a tilt with the Riders Aus-
tin Hirano. This was a chippy affair with two Heat players sustaining significant injuries. The culprit in both situations ended up receiving a league three-game suspension. Game three, Sunday afternoon at Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston versus the Thunder Cats saw a repeat of the previous evening. The Heat owned the third period but fell short with a 5-4 loss. Nic Fidanza potted two, one on a penalty shot, Hodges on the powerplay and John-
son getting the others. Mattes faced 49 shots in goal with Fidanza being the star of this outing. Then the long rainy ride home after facing the East Kootenay’s top three teams. No points in the standings on the weekend, but a challenging, character-building weekend for 20 tired young men.

As an outdoorsman, he revelled in the wild places, wandering far and wide in beautiful BC, up and down its majestic mountains and valleys, over its countless rivers and lakes. A skilled hunter, he took many deer, moose and trophy elk. He was a graceful and enthusiastic fly fisherman of rainbow trout. And he was a knowledgeable naturalist. He was once a talented baseball player, scouted and invited to training camp by the Cleveland Indians. A public servant much of his working life, he directed veritable armies of people and equipment to fight vast forest fires threatening our communities and natural resources. He strongly advocated for sustainable development of the forests long before it became a popular environmental cause. As a champion of social justice, he believed in helping the underdog, making a place for everyone in society, putting people before development, and in following a code of honesty and integrity. He had the spirit of a frontier cowboy and could be tough as nails. But he was empathetic and kind, and could be soft as warm butter. On September 27, 2013, at the age of 80, in Salmon Arm General Hospital, “Art” Shaw drew his last laboured breath after many years of struggling to breathe. His suffering is over and he is at peace at last. Perhaps he is now enjoying a deep breath of fresh air, standing tall on a pebbled beach aside a sparkling mountain lake, fly rod in hand... Arthur Shaw is survived and loved by Jean, his wife of 53 years, by his daughter Holly, sons Brian and Gregory, daughters-in-law Brenda and Tonia, and grandchildren Devin, Cassidy, Dylan and Ava. We miss him. Online condolences can be sent through Art’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

EARL, RICHARD BALFOUR (DICK) Richard Balfour (Dick) Earl of Salmon Arm, BC, made his transition on September 21, 2013 at age 90. Affectionately known over the years as “RB”, Richard was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, grew up in Portage la Prairie and later moved to Anglemont, BC to fulfill his lifelong dream of living in a log house in “the bush”. Throughout his life, Richard immersed himself in nature. He was a softie for four-legged creatures both wild and tame. Richard loved swimming and being on the water in anything that would float! He enjoyed fishing, hunting ducks in the Manitoba marshes and the adventure of piloting his plane over the prairies, through the Rockies, and to sunny island destinations. Over the years, Richard’s hobby of “tinkering” evolved into intricate wood carving, most recently of a life-size Hawaiian outrigger canoe. Richard was an avid businessman all his life, most notably in A&W Drive-Ins. He was a longtime member of Rotary and a champion of the St. Lucia School for the Blind and World Vision. Richard would hope to have “made a difference” in this life by sharing his passion for studying spirituality and metaphysics, particularly the work of Eckhart Tolle. And those who knew Dick will remember that he never lacked for words! This exchange gave Richard one of his greatest life pleasures. Richard is survived by his loving wife, Clarinda, of Salmon Arm. Also celebrating his life and lessons are his former wife, June, of Victoria, three children, Pam of Miami, FL, Rick (Diana) of Nanaimo and Rob (Maureen) of Calgary, his step-daughter Linda and his “other sons”, Robert (Darlene) and Mitchell, all of Winnipeg. Richard’s grandchildren include Jordana, Shawn, Brendon, Nicolas, Lynn, Tyler and Carlin; step-grandchildren include Tricia, Christina, Kaitlin and Jordan, and step-great grandchildren are Nikki and Riana. Richard leaves one niece, “Patty”, and six great nieces and nephews. Predeceasing Richard and joyfully welcoming him on this next phase of his journey are his Mum Edythe and Dad Harold, step-father “Pop”, granddaughter Cailey, brother John, niece Lynne and little David Lesley. Heartfelt thanks go to the staff of Hillside Village, Salmon Arm. The family requests no flowers, but suggests that Richard would appreciate donations to the Salvation Army or Operation Smile. A Celebration of Richard’s Life will be held in the Mountainside Room of Bowers Funeral Service, 440 10th St. S.W., Salmon Arm, at 2:00 pm, Sunday, October 27th, with sharing of memories to take place at 3:00 pm. For those friends who cannot attend, Richard’s family invites you to raise a glass at “wine time” in his memory; Richard will enthusiastically join you in Spirit! Online condolences can be sent through Richard’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Four former Vees to face Penticton
james murray/market news
Precise performance
n Rider Vicki Davies takes her horse Diva through a dressage test at the Southern Interior Dressage Association’s Fall Show held Saturday and Sunday at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. Davies won the High Test Award on both days.
The Salmon Arm SilverBacks will face the top-seeded Penticton Vees this weekend as well as their rival Vernon Vipers. Both are home games, the Vees Friday and the Vipers Saturday. The ’Backs haven’t faced Penticton this season yet but defeated Vernon in two back-toback games early in the season. Playing for the Salmon Arm squad will be 18-year-old forward Max Becker from the Vees, acquired recently in exchange for future considerations. He brings the total of former Penticton players to four. Becker, a 5’10”, 180lb. native of California, played three games with the Penticton Vees to begin his rookie BCHL campaign before the trade SilverBacks head coach and GM Troy Mick says Becker, who is committed to Princeton University for next season, has shown his potential to make plays and provide offensive input.
