Delays could toss trial
Fatal speedboat crash: Defence considers application for dismissal.
By martha Wickett OBSeRVeR STAFF
Time may become a crucial factor in the court case involving a fatal boat crash in 2010 on Shuswap lake. during a pretrial conference last week, Ken Walker, defence lawyer for the accused, leon Michael Reinbrecht, said he might apply to have the charges thrown out because of time delays. Reinbrecht stands charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm, following the crash in Magna Bay on July 3, 2010 that left an 18-foot campion Runabout speedboat fully embedded inside the cabin of a houseboat. The owner and operator of the houseboat, 53-year-old Kenneth William (Kenny) Brown of chase, was killed in the crash. eight other people were taken to hospital in Kamloops, where two remained for treatment and six were released the next day. The crash took place as boats were leaving the bay following the annual canada day weekend fireworks display. crown counsel don Mann confirms that at the pretrial conference, defence counsel indicated “they may be bringing a charter application related to that (time delays)… They were just advising us and the court.” Reinbrecht was charged in december 2011 following a 17-month investigation carried out by the chase RcMP detachment with the assistance of investigators from Transport canada and the Bc coroners Service. The decision regarding charges took 17 months because of the copious quantities of evidence to sift through, police said. More recently, the trial date was pushed back from September of this year until January of next in order for the defendant to try to secure legal aid funding. If an application under the charter of Rights and Freedoms is made to drop the charges, both sides would present their arguments and evidence regarding the delays and a judge would be asked to decide. The trial is set for Jan. 6, 2014.

Willy’s Wharf appeal stalls By martha Wickett OBSeRVeR STAFF
An appeal of a decision involving a marina in canoe has been dismissed because of missing money. In the Bc court of Appeal in Vancouver on June 18, Justice nicole Garson had ruled that Willy’s Wharf Inc. and clare’s cove Marina ltd. must post a total of $32,000 – $12,000 as security for the costs of the appeal as well as $20,000 for security for the judgment in the original trial. On Sept. 13 in the Bc court of Appeal in Vancouver, Jus-

tice John Hall dismissed the action because the required securities had not been posted. Writes Hall in his reasons for judgment: “The time for posting the ordered security expired over one month ago and no security has been posted. I gathered from what Mr. MacIsaac stated at the hearing that it was most unlikely security could or would be posted. Given this situation, it appears clear to me that it should be ordered that this appeal ought to stand dismissed as abandoned by reason of
the failure to post the required security. That disposes of the appeal…” The appeal followed a decision on April 2 in Bc Supreme court in Kamloops, when Justice Geoff Barrow ruled against clare’s cove Marina ltd., Willy’s Wharf Inc., Jiro Adventures ltd. and William MacIsaac, who were claiming more than $2 million in damages from the city of Salmon Arm and Brooke Jackson downs law firm. The lawsuit arose from a failed attempt by MacIsaac and the companies he controls to pur-
chase and redevelop the marina. Involved was city-owned land on 75th Avenue ne, which runs along the lake side of canoe Beach drive and the railway tracks, as well as an aquatic lease. MacIsaac had envisioned expanding the 72 boat-slip limit at the site to 200. MacIsaac’s claims against the city included breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation. He told the Observer previously that restrictions the city placed on a new lease were not business friendly.

Derelict docks removed from lake by barb brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
A combined effort by the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) and three other partners saw the removal of 26 derelict, abandoned docks from the Salmon Arm portion of Shuswap Lake and the Sicamous area over the summer. Up to 16 more are planned to be removed this fall from Mara Lake. These structures can create safety issues for boaters, impede public access along the shoreline and reduce the esthetic values of the lake, and also may be damaging to fish habitat. “Nobody wants to
see these abandoned docks creating hazards to navigation and downgrading the esthetics of beautiful Shuswap Lake, so removing them is a big benefit to everyone,” says Paul Demenok, SLIPP steering committee chair and Electoral Area C director with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. “It’s also important to note that this is the only dock removal program involving SLIPP. The semi-waterfront dock issue raised in the summer has absolutely nothing to do with SLIPP.” Residents and businesses around the Shuswap can report derelict, abandoned docks through the SLIPP web-
site, www.slippbc.com. Reported docks are included in the inventory, and if they are close to the site of other removal operations, they may be removed as well. Two of the derelict, abandoned docks removed in August were reported by businesses in the Shuswap. “The contractors came in and cleaned everything up nicely, with little disruption to our business,” says Kevin Wonacott of Captains Cove Marina. Docks that are in poor repair, deemed to be of little or no value and with no apparent claim of ownership are being removed and disposed of with no further notice. Funding for the

Focus on Downtown
Plenty going on in the core By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Salmon Arm’s downtown core is seeing its share of change. On Lakeshore Drive, Shuswap Park Mall is undergoing a facelift, with its new look to be complete in about a month. Owner Bill Laird said all the mall businesses east of Askew’s, including the new home of Dixon’s wine and beer store, will have bigger premises with the removal of the little interior mall and an expansion towards the street. “Everybody’s very enthusiastic,” he said. On Alexander St. and Hudson Avenue, changes there include the arrival of Intwined Fibre Arts, which held its grand opening Saturday. Owner Althea Mongerson, whose business placed third in this year’s Shuswap Launch-a-Preneur program as well as taking the Green Award, is seeing her dream realized. “I’m pretty pleased that it actually came to fruition,” she said. “My main goal was to get the store front up and running. I basically wanted it to be a gathering place for this community… I wanted to create an environment where people can come in and sit and get inspired by all the colours.” Intwined Fibre Arts sells yarn and knitting and spinning fibre and the equipment that goes along with it – mostly natural fibres from as many local sources as possible. The shop also offers spinning and knitting classes, as well as featuring the creations of some local artists. It opened Sept. 7 and things have been going well. “It’s really, really fantastic. We’ve had lots of support and a really good response from the knitting community. There’s lots of traffic through, which is really exciting.”
Mongerson invites people to come sit and knit or simply drop by to take a look. Intwined Fibre Arts, at 141-C Hudson Ave. NE is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Call 778-4891090. Just down the street and around the corner at 305 Alexander St. NE is Pinz Boardshop & Piercing Studios, relocated from its former location at 444 TransCanada Highway SW. The move has meant a smaller store with the ability to focus on its expertise in body piercing. “We wanted to refocus on what we’re all about originally,” says owner Anna Heckrodt, explaining that during the past five years she expanded the Salmon Arm store, which initially opened in 2001, as well as opening a location in Revelstoke and Sicamous. Life was getting too

crazy, she says, and her presence was wanted in Salmon Arm. Since then she has closed the other locations and has cut down on stock. “It’s taking the retail and boutiquing it. It’s been about classing it up.” Along with piercings, the store will continue to offer skateboard and snowboard clothing and equipment, including shoes. “We’re really excited to be part of the downtown. We know all the business owners around us and we’re so excited to frequent them,” Heckrodt says.
Pinz Boardshop & Piercing Studios is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 to 4, Sundays and holidays. Call 250-832-8233. At 141-A Hudson, a new restaurant will be opening within the next couple of weeks – Bradbury’s Restaurant. Andrew and Misty Bradbury just moved to Salmon Arm and have brought their experience as restaurateurs with them. The couple ran a restaurant near Edmonton for six years. Their visits to Salmon Arm over the years enticed them to investigate opening a business here. “Everybody around is really, really friendly,” they emphasize, with Misty pointing out that although they came from a town of 6,000, Salmon Arm is friendlier. Andrew got into cooking back in high school, and found that not only did he have a passion for cooking, but he was also good at it. The couple is still refining the hours for their restaurant, but say they expect to open for breakfast and then keep serving until about midafternoon. They’ll head home to look after their animals – which are like their children – and will probably re-open about 4:30 for supper. “We try to cater to absolutely everybody – children, grandchildren, parents, teenagers – you name it, we can cook for them.” The menu will be broad, with fresh, large Belgian waffles one of the breakfast features, and a variety of items for lunch ranging from sandwiches, subs and wraps to pastas and burgers. “We’ll do what we do best, simple food, quality food. We’re going to try to cater to everybody’s needs. It will be simple, beautiful, clean – all the stuff I’d want in a restaurant,” says Andrew.

Collision complications by Tracy hughes ObSeRveR STAFF
RCMP are looking for a motorhome with Florida plates after the vehicle blew past a flagger in a construction zone on the TransCanada Highway near Salmon Arm Thursday. The incident occurred about 11 a.m. shortly after a twovehicle collision in the same area. In that incident, a vehicle turning
left off the highway was struck from behind by a westbound vehicle. The drivers were both taken to hospital with whiplashtype injuries. At the same time, the motorhome with Florida plates drove into the oncoming lane toward a flagger who was holding a stop sign. The flagger had to move out of the way of the motorhome, which
continued past the accident scene, and past the flagger attempting to stop it at the other end. It then continued west on the Trans-Canada Highway. Police were en route to the collision and were unable to deal with the driver of the motorhome. The licence plate has been noted and police say they will deal with the driver.

OpiniOn
for what it’S worth
Tracy Hughes
A literary minefield
As a parent, you want to protect your children from the sadness of the world. It’s a noble thought, done with the best of intentions. The unfortunate reality is that no matter how hard you try to insulate your children, there is sadness, hurt and pain in every life. And that’s why I made the decision to read the much-lauded book, Bridge to Terabithia, with my daughter. Clearly, the book had an impact on me from my childhood, as it was one which instantly came to mind when I thought about books I had loved reading. For those who might not have read the classic novel, it’s a realistic a depiction of family life and a special friendship that evolves between misfits Jess and Leslie. I love the book because the people are so real. They worry about money, siblings hit each other, there’s social awkwardness and bickering and relationships that grow in the unlikeliest of circumstance. My daughter eagerly anticipated the evolution of the story as we read chapters each night. It was difficult watching her become attached to the characters, while knowing that the story is building up to a tragic death. But I’ve never believed in glossing over the truth. When our beloved pet cocker spaniel died, we had to have the painful and teary discussion that they wouldn’t be coming back and that nothing, not even a wish to Santa, could return them to us. Turns out, the topic of sad books is quite a hot button among parents. Loss and grief make most of us uncomfortable and handing those emotions to our children, even between the pages of a fictional story, can be controversial. “There’s enough sadness in the world,” one parent remarked to me, “They don’t need to read about it.” Another parent was wary of turning her kids off reading by giving them material that might make them feel sad or upset, rather than lighter, funnier material. Both are valid points. And parents certainly need to consider the impact of reading material, as well as television or movies, for their individual child. I guess I made the choice to read books like Charlotte’s Web, which discusses loss of a friend, even if it is about a pig and a spider, and Bridge to Terabithia at this time because reading sad books provides opportunities to talk about real life happenings. Life is complex, emotions are often mixed and happy endings are not guaranteed. Knowing about sadness also has a flip side – recognizing joy, love and hope. It is equally important to expose children to these emotions in books. I can not imagine a childhood being complete without reading about Judy Blume’s Superfudge, Beverly Cleary’s Beezus and Ramona or Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But experiencing sadness through the pages of a book also provides parents with a precious opportunity to discuss feelings with their child. Did my daughter cry after reading the final chapters of Bridge to Terabithia? Yes, but she did it in my arms.

Editorial
With higher speed comes higher risk Lead foots and left-lane campers, the province wants to hear from you. The B.C. government is reviewing speed limits for long stretches of highway, and Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants your feedback on how fast is fast enough. The review is not supposed to be about increasing speed limits, but ensuring the province has the correct speed limits in place. Stone, who sees the Coquihalla as a likely candidate for a speed-limit adjustment, says the goal is to ensure those who travel B.C.’s rural highways are able to do so as safely and efficiently as possible. Sounds good. And no doubt, those 110 km/hr signs along the Coquihalla are already being interpreted by many a driver as 120 km/hr. In fact, it’s a safe bet that whatever the decided upon
speed limit is, drivers will round up by 10. The big question mark here is those behind the wheel. Cars may be better constructed, but drivers – not necessarily so. Case in point, according to ICBC, distracted driving – typically people fiddling with gadgets while driving – is the cause of about one-quarter of all traffic fatalities in the province. Do we want people texting while doing 130 km/hr into the Great Bear Snowshed? Speaking of cell phones, travel the Coquihalla in winter and you’re certain to see SUVs ditched on the side of the road, their drivers out in the snow on the phone, presumably trying to contact roadside assistance. One of the hazards of not driving to conditions. Which leads us to hope that if speed limits are increased, highway traffic enforcement resources follow suit.

Marijuana referendum Owners add to discussion simply misguided BC VIEWS
Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – I won’t be signing the “Sensible B.C.” petition to demand a provincewide referendum on marijuana enforcement. You shouldn’t either, and here are a few reasons why. Let me start by saying I’ve been calling for legalization and regulation of pot for 20 years, to conserve police resources and reduce violent crime. Our war on drugs is a failure even for heroin and cocaine, and marijuana is obviously much easier to produce. But the current effort led by Dana Larsen, B.C.’s clown prince of pot, is not only misguided, it’s dangerous. The petition does not propose legalization. It seeks to impose a provincial law that would stop B.C. police from using any resources for simple possession charges. This would create a loophole in the federal drug law. So what would that do? It would protect otherwise innocent customers of the current illegal marijuana trade, while leaving the criminal distribution business in place. For a closer look at that, I recommend reports from the Surrey Six murder trial now underway, or the upcoming case against three accused assassins of Red Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna. Larsen’s loony law would tie police hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they search for evidence of something nastier. This is a source of many simple possession charges today. Police chiefs have a different idea, asking for the option of treating simple possession as a ticket offence to keep the court time to a minimum. Both of these notions have the same obvious flaws. They don’t deal with sales to minors and they divert no revenue to government, leaving most of that in the hands of criminal dealers who buy
cocaine, guns and fancy cars. Colorado and Washington have gone the legalization route, so far without interference from their federal government. These states need money, and they don’t need more crime or ill-considered hippy gesture politics. Meanwhile in Ottawa, Health Canada is trying to convert a poorly regulated mess of small-scale medical marijuana licences to a free-market system of commercial producers. Local politicians tore a strip off Health Canada officials at their recent convention, after years of warnings that federal licences were scattered at unknown locations, often used as fronts for larger grow-ops. Mission Coun. Dave Hensman predicted that when a grower gets a letter cancelling his licence, he’s more likely to roll up a big joint with it than to shut down. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow suggested the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.” Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers. One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. After scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors by yelling the same false slogan. You can imagine how people with terminal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suffering for some multiple sclerosis patients. But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic. Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage. It even blundered into the recent Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, an event to mark the end of federal hearings into the effects of residential schools on aboriginal children. I wouldn’t support the Larsen bunch for anything, unless it involved them looking for jobs. Just say no.

Our 16-year-old son James did start a recycling business approximately four years ago on our farm, and it has grown into a family business. We have four children and an adult with special needs living with us; and they all work at the yard. James is the same young man that has been honored twice in our local papers recently for receiving the Medal of Excellence from the Royal Canadian Legion, and then the Top Cadet Award from Vernon Army Camp. James
and his siblings are being raised to recognize that hard work and effort is required to earn a living. None of our family would want anyone to excuse us for our age, ethnicity or affiliation with a First Nation. This is a democratic country based on a competitive free-market economy. We have been very busy, indicating a need for this service. Competition and good business rapport are the foundation of a strong local economy, something we intend to contribute to in this venture.

Evidence before accusations I am beginning to smell a king-sized rat in this Gort tainted cheese saga and it isn’t originating at their farm. Remember old fashioned witch hunts in past centuries? People were actually burned at the stake. This could be the 2013 version except with
modern technology it is far more subtle thanks to the news media in its ruthless hunt for something newsworthy. Unless indisputable evidence tied to Gort cheese is found in these additional accusations now popping out of the woodwork then the
investigation has descended into nothing more than a common witch hunt. By destroying a family founded business someone else is standing in the shadows waiting to benefit. Alli M. Graham
Sidewalk on Lakeshore needed I have read the city’s strategic plan and nowhere in there did I see any plan to improve the safety of Lakeshore Rd. to downtown. I live in Appleyard and it is treacherous to try and walk to town along Lakeshore. I have been told by previous councillors that it is an access road and not important
in the scheme of things. It is, however, a preferential route for most people that do not like to drive the Trans-Canada to get downtown. The city did a great job of the access to Lakeshore by the hospital and it would be so nice to have proper sidewalks, decent lighting and bike paths along this beauti-
ful scenic route. The argument can be made that this is a very popular route, by the amount of traffic one sees on it daily. To make a strategic plan without the vision of enhancing this gem would be folly. Terry Jobe

Recycling changes spark debate By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF
A controversial shift in how recyclables are collected in the province should have a nominal impact on Salmon Arm residents should it come to fruition. One of the more heated debates at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention revolved around Multi Material BC (MMBC), a non-profit stewardship organization created by industry to fulfil B.C.’s recycling regulation related to printed material and packaging. In essence, the regulation shifts responsibility for management of materials from government to industry and consumers. MMBC’s Packaging and Printed Paper Stewardship Plan is expected to be go into effect on May 19, 2014. Local governments were asked to have a letter of intent, speci-
fying whether or not they would be coming onboard with MMBC, submitted by Sept. 16. This deadline was one of the concerns raised by municipalities at the convention. Another was how MMBC’s program would impact already existing recycling programs. Neither of these, however, are a significant issue for Salmon Arm. The city has already signed a letter of intent and, by signing on, staff suggest there “will be a significant reduction in costs to the end user of the program.” “The bottom line is we can’t double charge the citizens so whatever we’re credited by MMBC will be credited to the citizens,” says city engineer Jenn Walters, adding it will be up to council to determine how that might be utilized. A memo to council notes this will allow the city to maintain local accountability, as
well as program control and flexibility. “One of the real benefits about keeping tabs on it is we’re hoping to do some refining to the collection system as it is, to start having people’s recycling and garbage on the same day,” says Walters. “Right now there’s some confusion. So we wanted to change some routes up, make them a little more efficient and easier for people.” With MMBC, Salmon Arm’s recycling program would generally stay the same, though there will be some change in what materials are collected. Styrofoam and thin film plastics (such as sandwich wrap) will not be collected under the bag system, but will be accepted at the green recycling bins at local recyclable depots such as Bill’s Bottle Depot and at the landfill. Tetrapacks, clamshell packaging and
cardboard milk cartons will be additions to the bag system, as will plastic shopping bags. All of this, including the May implementation date, is based on the program rolling out as currently intended.
Jim Kimmerly Chamber of CommerCe Organizations representing small business have also weighed in on the MMBC debate. Both the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) and the BC Chamber of Commerce are con-

cerned with potential impact the program will have, as any business that sells packaging or printed paper to consumers that ultimately end up in the waste stream are required to sign on with MMBC as stewards. Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce President Jim Kimmerly agrees with the sentiment of CFIB director Mike Klassen, that small businesses would be reluctant to sign on to something where they don’t know what all the costs will be. “It looks half-baked, like it hasn’t really been thought out all that well from a smallbusiness perspective,” says Kimmerly. “Who is going to want to enter a contract when they don’t know what the fees are?”

Telus to introduce fibre optic network OBSERVER STAFF
Telecommunications in Salmon Arm will be moving at light speed, as Telus fibre optic network is expanding to the city, providing the option for over 90 per cent of homes and businesses to connect to the new technology. Once connected, Telus says users will enjoy blazing fast internet speeds and homes will have access to advanced home entertainment experiences with OptikTV. The Telus fibre optic network consists of flexible, transparent fibres of glass. Data is transmitted along these fibres as particles of light, allowing huge volumes of information to move in and out of the community at the speed of light. As Salmon Arm will be only one of a few communities in the province with this advanced technology, businesses will have access to the services they need to operate locally and compete globally, as well as having the opportunity to innovate their delivery.
The City of Salmon Arm has cooperated with the corporation in order to see the upgraded technology. “The city has agreed to work with Telus to by providing and reviewing engineering requirements and to respond to road closures, etc. which may be required as quickly as possible,’ says Carl Bannister, chief administrative officer for the City of Salmon Arm. “There are no costs or upgrades required of the city or changes to any right-of-ways or city property.” Improved technology has the potential to make Salmon Arm more attractive to employers, as well as benefit current ones. “Salmon Arm Economic Development Society is excited about the ability to integrate the addition of this new technology into our future marketing materials, providing Salmon Arm with one more competitive advantage in the attraction of new residents and businesses,” says Lana Fitt, Economic Development Manager, Salmon Arm Economic Development Society.

Merger expands Marlin Travel

OBSERVER STAFF
There is one less travel agency in town but the same number of travel agents. Joan Hokanson, owner of Marlin Travel on Alexander for 28 years, recently bought Bayview Travel which was owned by Janet Hindbo. Hokanson says Hindbo was tired of dealing with administrative work and she was tired of booking trips. So, Hindbo has moved over to the office on Alexander as senior travel consultant, taking seasoned travel agents with her – Gerri Stewart, Sandy Hardy and Pam Tate. They’re joining parttimer Keri Tierney and Missy MacKintosh, who has worked with Hokanson for five years and is now manager of the newly expanded Marlin Travel. “I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for all of us to increase our business and better service our clients,” says Hokanson. “Just by merging, it’s done away with one set of overhead costs. All I’m taking on are extra wages; the infrastructure for everything else was there before.” Hokanson, who took over Marlin Travel Nov.

Joan Hokanson and former Bayview Travel Agency employees Janet Hindbo, Sandy Hardy and Geri Stewart have merged under Hokanson’s leadership to better serve their clients from the office on Alexander Street. 4, 1985, is going back to doing something she did when her children were little – something she thoroughly enjoys. “What I am doing is putting groups together and I am escorting them,” she says. In June, Hokanson escorted 22 women, some of them Lady Striders to Italy, where they attended a concert of Puccini’s music in his hometown, a cooking school in Florence where they learned to make sausage and gnocchi, and a wine tour. Next September, she will lead a tour to Croatia. Those who are on the mailing list have already received the
initial itinerary and five have already booked on the tour that has room only for 16 women. “I call it soft adventure,” she laughs. “Comfort hotels but hiking, kayaking, lots of walking, museums and city tours.” Hokanson is filling a niche for women, many of whom do not want to travel on their own. “If we have a group, we will pair people up,” she says, noting women can talk on the phone or meet in person to see if they might be compatible roommates. “We give people contact numbers and pull ourselves out of the final arrangements.”
Before Croatia, Hokanson is taking another group on a river cruise in Vietnam and Cambodia at the beginning of January. Back in the travel agency, Hokanson says everyone gets along and are very happy with the new arrangement. “It’s a really nice atmosphere and we’ve combine agencies with years of experience in the business.” Marlin Travel is open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit the website at www. marlin travel.ca/ salmonarm.

Dr. Reinhardt had to remind council of his salary of $50 for services as medical health officer from Feb. 1912 to Feb. 1913. H.C. Jacques took over the lease of the opera house which had been held for two years by M.M. Carroll.

In notes from Camp 376, the men of that camp thanked the Imperial Tobacco Co. for the gifts of tobacco left by its salesman. People were told reading material was the most needed luxury and that the boys would be glad to have anything that was fit for eyes.

A joint meeting of the city and district councils was held to plan for present and future needs of water supplies. The possibility of pumping from the lake was discussed. When Pat Shirley and Stan Reedman arrived in England and were assigned to their quarters, they were overjoyed to see in the same hut with them, Dick Edwards of Foothill Road, and Hubert Smith, formerly of Seymour Arm and Salmon Arm West.

The youngest of four siblings, Anderson, a Salmon Arm massage therapist, was the first in her family to have breast cancer. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks shy of my 47th birthday and it was a shock,” said Anderson, the honoured survivor at Sunday’s annual Canadian Breast Cancer Federation CIBC Run For The Cure in Vernon at Fulton Secondary School. “We don’t have breast cancer in our family. There is no history. I am the first, I hope I am the last.” Approximately 620 people took part in Sunday’s walk/ run at Grahame Park and raised $54,721.75 for breast cancer research and other initiatives, though organizers said Monday there are still more fundraising dollars coming in. Sharing with the crowd, Anderson – decked out in a black Blitz For The Cure T-shirt with pink writing, black running pants and cool all-pink Asics runners –said her story is not a sad one. In fact, her story is one of triumph, joy and humour. “It’s joyous because I found out when I was diagnosed what a wonderful support team I have around me,” said Anderson. “It’s triumphant because I am cancer free. And it’s funny for a lot of reasons, but you’d have to know my friends to appreciate the sick sense of humour that we embraced during this journey.” Anderson’s cancer was caught early after she underwent a mammogram, to which
she pleaded to the crowd to encourage or nag every woman in their lives to have regular mammograms. And she said she’s pleased to take part in fundraising events such as Run For The Cure because monies raised from such events helped her. Following her surgery, doctors suggested Anderson have the full schedule of chemotherapy and radiation. Seeing the effect of such a schedule on friends and colleagues left Anderson disheartened. But when she arrived at a cancer clinic, doctors asked her if she wanted to participate in a study, which she agreed. They sent a small part of Anderson’s tumour to a lab to be blasted with chemotherapy to see if there would be any effects on the tumour. There were none. “My chance of reoccurrence was quite small to begin with and now I knew going through chemotherapy wasn’t going to change that,” said Anderson, who celebrated her 50th birthday two weeks ago with a trip ROGER KNOX/BLACK PRESS to New York with her husband, Sharing: Salmon Arm breast cancer survivor Elizabeth Craig, and her siblings. “So I Anderson gave the address at the Canadian Breast was able to make an informed, confident choice to not have Cancer Federation CIBC Run For The Cure Sunday in chemo.

New event delights racers
Mud race: Ten kilometre course more challenging than expected.
By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
It was a day for mud – much mud – lots of sweat and possibly the odd tear. Followed by smiles. Many smiles. About 40 people took the challenge Saturday in the first Mayhem in the Muddy Maize, a 10-kilometre obstacle-course mud race that started and ended in DeMille’s corn maze. For Leslie Stewart of Sicamous, it was her 51st birthday, a muddy celebration she shared with her 18-year-old son Alexander. “He said, ‘Mother, this is crazy. I’m supposed to get you flowers and perfume, not drag you through the mud.” Nonetheless, they both enjoyed the race, says Leslie, noting they were able to help each other when needed, each with their different strengths and weaknesses. Because Alexander had been in cadets he could give her pointers on navigating the three mud pits with barb wire strung across the top. “Keeping really low, pulling with your arms and don’t put your bum up,” she says. As a runner, she could encourage him during the run portions, particularly when he was having trouble with stitches in his side. The duo completed the race in about two hours and 20 minutes. Organizer Ray Warner of Cool Running explains that, along with the three mud pits, there were fences to climb through, a pond and creek to navigate, the corn fields and trails to run through, bales of hay to get over and mountains of gravel in Blackburns’ gravel pit to climb. He received lots of good comments and there was just one injury, a head scratched by barbed wire. “It was fun, everybody had a great time, lots of good reviews.” For Leslie Stewart, one “huge, huge hill” was tough. “I was pretty much on my
hands and knees – he kept encouraging me,” she says of her son. Then there were the hay bales. “When they said we’d have to go over bales of hay, I was picturing the little ones. But they were those great big ones we call the giant marshmallows when they’re out in the fields.” The water obstacles were cold, but the Stewarts both found them refreshing. “I swim, he scuba dives.” Overall, both said they would do the race again. “It was tougher than I thought, but it was a good challenge,” Leslie concludes. For the inaugural race, Warner advertised it only three weeks ahead of time, because he didn’t want to get too many entries. Of the 40 participants, there were four or five people who did it as individuals and the rest were on teams, which could range from two to eight people. The rule is, all members of a team must finish together, which encourages team-building. Although awards were not given out for placings this year, Warner noted that Salmon Arm’s Gregg Patterson came in first. He completed the course in one hour, 32 minutes and 33 seconds. Patterson decided to do the race after participating in the Spartan race at Sun Peaks the weekend prior, an obstacle race up the mountain that several Salmon Arm residents also tested themselves on. As for Muddy Mayhem, Patterson enjoyed it. “It was fun, the gravel pit was challenging, running up the sides of the gravel pit. And the barbed wire tagged me a couple of times,” he said, adding that his favourite segments were the gravel pit, the pond and the mud crawl. “That was all good.” Unlike several other people, he had no clothing concerns, such as water-logged fabric. “Cotton is not your friend,” he says, noting that he wore

Hard work: Participants climb a steep hill Saturday during the first Mayhem in the Muddy Maize race at DeMille’s fields and the Blackburn gravel pits. an Under Armour body suit and a thermal long-sleeved shirt. Like several others, however, he lost his way – temporarily – in the corn maze. “Especially when you’re tired, you’re trying to figure out where you went last time, you’re wet, with mud in your eyes.” Erin Ferguson of Salmon Arm, who happens to be the mother of four children aged eight and under, successfully completed the race as part of a team of three women. She participated “to show my kids I could do it,” she says, and to challenge herself. She explains she’s not wild about mud or heights. Regarding the mud, “I managed to stay relatively clean compared to others. My back was still white. I don’t know what happened.”
As for the big hill climbs, “I didn’t realize we’d be scaling cliffs. They didn’t really give you any details of the obstacles. We climbed up the hills at Blackburn gravel pit – and being afraid of heights doesn’t make that very easy. It was fun as long as you didn’t look back and didn’t look down.” She describes it as a great event, one she’d do again. “I think it was well done. I was definitely out of my comfort zone.” Ferguson’s team completed the race in about two hours and seven minutes. “We probably would have been under two hours had we not got lost in the corn maze – again. We got lost on the way in and got lost on the way out. We weren’t the only ones. That’s what made it fun, no real time expectation.”

’Tips succumb to Okotoks The Brick Salmon Arm Midget Tier 2 hockey team hosted their home tournament this weekend at the Shaw Centre. The tournament, which consisted of 12 teams from around B.C. and Alberta, began on Friday and wrapped up with the final on Sunday afternoon. The Salmon Arm Silvertips began the tournament a little flat in their opener and lost 6-1 to Chilliwack. On Saturday the team played much better and chalked up wins against Quesnel, 5-2, and Castlegar, 4-2. Two wins in the pool format was good enough for Salmon Arm to advance to the playoff round as the wildcard team.

On Sunday morning they were matched up against the numberone ranked team from Okotoks, Alta. Despite a determined effort, Salmon Arm was overwhelmed and ended
up on the wrong end of an 8-0 score, which ended their tournament. Okotoks then advanced to meet Aldergrove in the final. The score was 6-2 for Okotoks and they were crowned
tournament champions. The Silvertips return to league play this weekend with a road game Saturday in Penticton and then back at the Shaw Centre on Sunday versus Vernon.

to get the ’Tips within two, but that’s as close as they’d come as they fell to the visitors by a 5-3 final. Regarding the ‘Tips’ play, Captain Dom Barbosa said, “I think we passed the puck really well today. We also worked really hard along the boards.”

Vipers slip by ’Backs defence Riding a three-game win streak and 20 minutes away from making it a fourth, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks seemed to suffer a collective paralysis, allowing three Vernon Vipers goals in less than a minute. The Snakes got goals 46 seconds apart from Josh Bryan, Logan Mick and Michael McNicholas to carve out a 3-2 comeback win on Saturday at Shaw Centre. This was a night after the ’Backs dispatched the Penticton Vees 5-2 on home ice. Salmon Arm bench boss Troy Mick said Saturday’s meltdown was another hard lesson his team will need to learn from in their quest to be an elite BCHL team. “It was one big, big brain cramp,” said Mick of the flash flood of Vipers goals. “We changed the line each goal and each line got scored on. We killed a penalty at the start of the third and should have had some good mojo but Vernon didn’t quit. “I think that was a very disappointing loss; we responded when we gave up the three, but we’ve got to realize a full 60-minute game is more important in this league. We’ve got to love to win a bit more and hate to lose a lot more.” Taylor Maruya had opened the scoring in the first and Alex

Struggle by the crease: SilverBack Max Becker gets caught up with a Penticton Vees defender during Salmon Arm’s home game Friday at Shaw Centre. Gillies added on in the second, but they couldn’t beat Vernon goalie Danny Todosychuk after that, despite outshooting the Vipers 14-9 in the third period. Friday night saw Salmon Arm surrender the opening goal but roar back with five uninterrupted tallies of their own, including two more from Alex Gillies who now has a league-best 12 on the year. The game showcased two highly skilled teams and saw just five penalties assessed on the evening. “It was a little scrambly at times… we’re one of the highest scoring teams but we’re also one of the highest in goals against,” noted Mick. “We’ve got
to take better ownership of the (defensive) zone.” When things did get hectic in the SilverBacks end, Adam Clark was there to prevent the mistakes from becoming goals. The netminder has now made five-straight starts and appears to be finding his form once again. “We didn’t start the year with him because he was hurting and he got pulled against Nanaimo, but we went back to him,” said Mick. “He was good against Vernon (as well) and he’s played
very well for us. Mick said Angus Redmond would get the call Thursday night in Salmon Arm’s home game against the Trail Smoke Eaters. Friday’s win for the ’Backs was also sweet for newly acquired Max Becker who began the year with the Vees. He scored a pretty goal coming down the wing with a rocket of a shot to get Salmon Arm on the board. Also joining the Salmon Arm lineup from the injured list are Brendan Kennedy and Riley Hunt. Mick will put the

Healthy energy surrounds DJ
Abstrakt Sonance: The Hideaway Pub hosts tour stop on Friday, Oct. 18. Following a heart attack at the age of 19, Tyler Myroon, aka Abstrakt Sonance used the support of family and friends to fuel his dream of creating a new record label. Myroon began creating beats on a borrowed computer in the home of friends, a nine-acre site where he found rest and healing too. Four short years later, Abstrakt Sonance has just returned from his second European tour in the past eight months. He has played alongside worldtouring acts such as Zeds Dead in Prague, CZ, and Truth in Munich, Germany. Myroon’s first tour was paid for out of his own pocket. On the second tour he headlined in countries he had never been to and cities he had never even heard of, he says. Myroon says learning from the “many mistakes of his mid-teens,” and after the intense life-changing experience of having a heart attack at such a young age, his high-octane performances are now driven by healthy energy. Now “completely sober,” he says
he has learned to “promote positive vibes through his music with no need to intoxicate the mind and body in order to enjoy oneself.” As Abstrakt Sonance, he has made tunes with artists in five countries, making new friends and collaborating with other artists whenever possible. He and Stifler Selecta, a DJ from the Czech Republic, took their music to some of the best party shows in Europe. It is with his newfound friend that Abstrakt Sonance will make a stop in Salmon Arm on his western Canada tour. Hear them Friday, Oct. 18 at the Hideaway Pub in a musical party hosted by West Ave Productions. “The music begins at 9 p.m., but there is an early meet-and-greet with the artists, including dinner, autograph signing and hanging out,” the artist says. Other artists performing in the show are Ace One from Kamloops, Salmon Arm’s own Pixy and Grimekeepa, and Day Shaw Voo from Kelowna.
Fans celebrate Diamond From Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood, through the turbulence of the 1960s and on into the 21st century, the songs of Neil Diamond continue to attract new fans. Paying tribute to this music giant is Jason Scott and his “Diamond Forever – a Celebration of Neil Diamond.” “Neil Diamond has recorded his music so many times, and changed it so much, that interpreting that music can in itself be an art,” says Scott, creator and performer of the one-man live stage extravaganza that will take place at the Sicamous Legion. “When you look at Neil Diamond’s history and career of six decades, you realize the music and the possibilities of that music are unlimited.” A songwriter, composer and performer, Diamond’s music has a
Jason Scott Neil DiamoND TribuTe arTisT universality and timelessness that appeals to people of all ages. The proof of this is in the audiences, with new fans added every year, says Scott. Scott’s own musical resume is impressive. He began attending the Toronto Conservatory of Music at the age of five, achieving first-degree honours by age 15. Scott toured extensively with nightclub and concert bands in his 20s, and in his 30s was a recording artist signed to a Canadian record label, artist, writer and performer.
Scott was the first Canadian performer to win the “Be a Legend” celebrity tribute artist competition as Neil Diamond in 2005 at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. In September 2010, Scott won the Best Platinum Showcase Award by the Sunburst Convention of Celebrity Tribute Artists. The next year, he took second place in the second annual Vegas Tribute Artist competition and was invited to open for the headlining “Country Superstars” show at the Golden Nugget Showroom in Vegas. The show takes place in the hall at the Sicamous Legion at 8 p.m. Tickets at $15 in advance include a spaghetti dinner with Caesar salad and are available at the Sicamous Legion or The Happy Corkers, or $20 at the door – no dinner included.

YOUR
Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your nearest and dearest one will come into focus this week. Lots of effort on your part is required in respect to all of your relationships and you might not get the results you had hoped for in the romantic sphere. Don’t get trapped by anything ambiguous. Go with the flow. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You may need to take on a different approach where your usual tasks are involved. Your wellbeing comes into focus this week. You may consider revising the amount of hours you spend over your routine things. Everybody wants a piece of you, seeking for your assistance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You will find yourself in a conundrum of self-questioning about a loved one in your life. There is an element of uncertainty and hesitation from your part which only keeps you second guessing about their initial intentions and true nature. CANCER (June 21-July 22): There will be ongoing discussions which will provoke you to exert some labour within your domestic life. You seek a pleasant atmosphere in your own cocoon, but you are pushed to work towards it more aggressively or more dramatically. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This week’s astral climate will send you on a voyage of intellectual inquiry. The usual assurance is not that accessible this time and you need to sound more convincing if you want to maintain other’s belief in you. Expose your assertiveness with no fear of judgement. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Financial planning may need some restructuring and some revision on your part. You may be pondering over some recently acquired goods and may start questioning the allocation of your personal earnings into the right account. You want to get your money’s worth. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is one of your most
YOUR
Sudoku
significant weeks this year where you will have a new shift of direction in your life. The self- interrogation process should push you to stand up for yourself. It is through reconciliation and self-appreciation that you will find that inner peace. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Lay low and take a rain check with your physical and spiritual energy. Self healing is necessary for the restoration of your soul and your heart. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Before you expect peace with others, be at peace with yourself first and foremost. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A current team project will make you optimistic about the results. You don’t see the limiting factors involved here, you are actually quite forward-looking in regards to your future aspirations. An endeavour is in the works and this project keeps you motivated. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This will set the mark for the upcoming weeks. You know you own that sought-after power and ambition to gain the recognition you need. Prove of your personal abilities and others will follow through your example. Trust in your own efforts. Persevere. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Celestial players will enlighten you towards progression and self-expansion. You will want to exceed your own limitations and see how far you can go in life. Your consciousness awakens, making you believe that there is absolutely nothing that you cannot do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Merged resources and shared money are highlighted. The role you play in your own relationship needs to be revised and you must find a balance involving other people’s money. Passion is strong, however, do not let your idealistic side overlook the financial aspect of your life.

BETTY IMRIE 1934 - 2013 A Celebration of life service and reception will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2013 at 2 p.m. in the Elks Hall, 3690 30th street, NE, Salmon Arm, with tributes shared by family and friends, led by Jack Bowers as funeral celebrant. The Order of the Royal Purple will present honors for her 50 years of service. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Royal Purple. Email condolences may be sent to Betty’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium. ARTHUR LORNE SHAW 1933 - 2013 He was a gentle soul, devoid of prejudice toward everyone he met, making friends easily and genuinely with his sincerity and with a passion for storytelling. He doted on his family as a devoted husband, father and grandfather – a moral inspiration and pillar of stability in an uncertain world. 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

Robert Babakaiff of Arro Wood Heat Services has been in business for 5 years. A 45-year resident of Salmon Arm, he believes in buying his products locally. After being laid off from Coe/Newnes, he saw there was a need for a reliable wood heat technician. He became certified in the WETT program – which is a Canadian recognized association, allowing him to be able to inspect, install and maintain wood burning stoves and fireplaces. His services include chimney sweeping, estimates and advice on purchasing and installation of wood burning stoves, such as size needed for the square footage, and the best stove to meet your needs. Robert’s motto “Burning Clean = More Green” not only refers to the money saved when keeping your stove or fireplace maintained, it also refers to the environment, as the new stoves burn cleaner and more efficiently. Repeat customers are spreading the word of his fair pricing and thorough job. For all your wood heat needs, call Robert today for an estimate.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants B.C. residents to weigh in on a potential increase in highway speed limits now under consideration. Stone announced the formal review of speed limits Friday in Kamloops although he had previously indicated it was coming and technical work is already underway. The Coquihalla Highway already has a speed limit of 110 kilometres per hour but traffic there does an average speed of 118, while drivers routinely exceed the posted limit
