n Seniors Resource Centre volunteer Eve Lemky offers a Flower For A Friend during the group’s annual fundraiser held last Friday and Saturday at the Mall at Piccadilly.

The quest to make Salmon Arm Hockeyville is gaining momentum. As the number of submissions for the Shaw Centre grows on the Kraft Hockeyville website, so does the enthusiasm. Lana Fitt, economic development manager, says several events have now been confirmed leading up to Feb. 9, the deadline for submissions to the website. • On Friday, Jan. 31, judging for the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce Hockeyville Business Display Competition is taking place. Businesses have been encouraged to call the chamber of commerce to register at 250-832-6247. • Jan. 31 is also Jersey Day in Salmon Arm. Residents have been invited to wear their hockey jersey to work or school to show their hockey pride. • Saturday, Feb. 1 is Hockey Day in Salmon Arm. Lots of events are taking place at Shaw Centre throughout the day. They include: minor hockey rep and rec games; Timbit hockey games during the intermission of junior games; the Salmon Arm Armstrong Co-op Female Midget Rep team will be introduced in the second intermission of the SilverBacks game, and they will be playing their final league game at 11 a.m. in Hucul Pond versus Kelowna; alumni of the Shuswap Totems, the first Junior A franchise in Salmon Arm, will be recognized at the start of the SilverBacks game; Chase Heat versus Sicamous Eagles at 3 p.m.; Penticton Vees versus Salmon Arm SilverBacks at 7 p.m. • Sunday, Feb. 2 brings the Road Hockey Rumble. Come watch the RCMP versus the fire department at Ross Street Plaza at noon. Wear red or blue to support your favourite team. In the meantime, residents are invited to go to the Kraft Hockeyville website and upload content outlining why Salmon Arm is Hockeyville in the form of stories, photos and videos.

access to the victim’s computer in order to demonstrate where the so-called problems are and convince the victim to pay a fee for a service that will ‘fix’ the computer despite that there is probably nothing really wrong with it. In the process, your credit card information is compromised as well as your computer, which is a potential fountain of information. The Canada Revenue Scam begins with a cold-call, email or letter fraudulently claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The scam asks you to verify your personal information, such as a social insurance, credit card, bank account, and passport numbers, in order to receive a refund or benefit payment.

Providing your personal information will not get you a refund or payment and will only serve to compromise your credit. Scareware or Ransomware is a pop-up message stating that your computer has been frozen or will be frozen unless you pay. The message is designed to create shock and anxiety so that you will respond by sending money quickly. Your computer will not be unlocked if you pay the money and you will never get your money back. For more information on phishing and other frauds and scams, please go to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website at www.antifraudcentrecentreantifraude.ca

Police have received several complaints of various ‘phishing’ scams recently and are warning the public to take a few precautions in order to protect their personal and financial information. Over the past couple of weeks, police have received reports of the “Microsoft Scam,” “Canada Revenue Scam” and “Scareware.” All three of these scams are specifically designed to target your personal or financial information in order to take your money. The Microsoft Scam consists of a cold-call from a person claiming to represent a wellknown brand, such as Microsoft, advising the victim that they have detected a computer problem, infection or virus on their computer. The scam revolves around getting remote

Council explores professional development options By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAff

City councillors may be en route to establishing personal professional development guidelines following a brief debate over attending an upcoming leadership conference. Couns. Alan Harrison and Ken Jamieson suggested council look at developing personal growth plans, similar to those used by school district employees for professional development, following a request by Coun. Denise Reimer to attend the Local Government Leadership Academy forum, Feb. 5-7, in Vancouver. Cost is estimated at $1,500 per person. Mayor Nancy Cooper and Coun. Chad Eliason also expressed interest in going. “I think that we also

have to watch what we’re attending,” added Cooper. “I know that we do have money to attend this, but I think if we’re looking at going to multiple conferences, I think we need to sort of pick and choose as well. “I think we try to keep our taxes low and we’re asking people to do with less, even our staff. So, in that mind, I think we have to show leadership and we have to make some decisions as well as to what conferences we’re going to.” In response to the mayor’s comment, city administrator Carl Bannister explained that for 2014, the city has budgeted for the mayor and council to attend the annual conventions for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Southern Interior

Local Government Association and the Union of B.C. Municipalities. An additional $2,500 is budgeted for “miscellaneous,” said Bannister, explaining the $4,500 required to send the mayor and two councillors would exceed that budget. “But that’s not to say it couldn’t come from reduced costs at FCM or UBCM later down the road,” said Bannister. “So it’s not exactly in the budget, you will have to cut from somewhere else later on.” Coun. Debbie Cannon supported funding for the three city delegates if it could be worked out. “A lot of us didn’t go to school to become councillors, so any extra education that we can get to help us do a better job up at this table is very beneficial to every-

one,” said Cannon. With respect to Reimer, Coun. Alan Harrison said he couldn’t support the $4,500 bill. Jamieson, on the other hand, supported Reimer’s request to join Eliason and Cooper.

Coun. Denise Reimer However, he and Harrison seemed of like mind that a future discussion is needed on professional development. “I think we need a broader discussion on individual professional development

amounts…, what we come to agree to is an appropriate amount that we each should be allowed to spend in a year. And then we decide where we go and how much we spend,” said Jamieson. “I think maybe we can move towards that.” As a director with SILGA, Eliason said he would try to get that organization to cover part of his $1,500. In addition, he noted how the city benefitted from hosting last year’s SILGA convention. “So, not only did we save in 2013, and I know that doesn’t apply to 2014, but we did save the travel expenses for 2013 and we brought an extra $10,000 into Salmon Arm… The offset is there, in my opinion, when you look at the macro scene in the budget,” said Eliason.

Oil patch flights not longterm answer Local officials could hardly contain their enthusiasm after hearing that WestJet will begin offering direct flights between the Okanagan and Fort McMurray, Alta. in the spring. “We have a lot of buyers in Fort McMurray looking at Vernon’s residential market to live here for the lifestyle,” said Kevin Poole, Vernon’s economic development manager. And there is logic to that excitement. After all, oil patch workers and executives could bolster a lagging construction industry by placing orders for new homes. Through their sizable incomes, they will support families and that means groceries, new vehicles, trips to restaurants and signing kids up for sports and cultural activities. Those children will also take up spots in schools that struggle with enrolment. However, becoming the suburbs for Fort McMurray isn’t the ideal answer to the North Okanagan’s economic challenges. What we need is a concerted focus by government leaders to encourage a strong financial climate that creates jobs here, instead of sending spouses and children north. That is not only better for the overall health and well-being of individual families, but for the community as a whole. There needs to be an effort to reverse the career options of leaving town or accepting a minimum wage position. There’s no question that some benefits will spin off from direct flights between the Okanagan and northern Alberta, but there has to be more to the valley’s long-term survival, and that means keeping parents and young people here so they can establish positive futures. -Vernon Morning Star

OpiniOn

Background kills appetite for basa

The other night I made a pretty good supper, if I do say so myself. I poached and then lightly fried up a couple of basa fillets I had purchased at the fish counter of a local grocery store. I plated them with a mango and chipotle sauce on a bed of basmati rice, with just a little steamed wild rice added (for a slightly nuttier flavour) along with some diced prawns that I seared in butter and sesame oil. I also made a salad of spring greens on the side with my own, special lime and avocado dressing. Sometimes I think I enjoy cooking food almost as much as I enjoy eating it. I mention this particular meal, not to demonstrate my limited culinary skills, but rather because after the meal, I decided to go on the computer to learn a little more about basa fish. I learned a whole lot more than I wanted. According to Wikipedia, the basa fish (Pangasius bocourti) is a type of catfish native to Southeast Asia. When cooked, its flesh has a mild taste similar to that of perch. It is farmed in great numbers

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray in pens along the Mekong River system of Vietnam, as well as in China, Cambodia and Thailand. About 90 per cent of basa imported to Canada comes from Vietnam fish farms where, I learned, the use of antibiotics that are now banned in Canada and the U.S. is widespread. One can only wonder what chemicals exist in their waters as a result of almost 20 years of war. I also discovered on the Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program website (oceanwise.ca) that eating farmed basa is not recommended because open-cage farming in Southeast Asia is associated with outbreaks of disease and

infection among wild basa populations. They also state they have concerns about feed quality, farm operating standards and the biological impact of using wild stock for culturing. I also learned that, since basa is not technically considered a catfish by our federal government, it is not held to the same inspection rules as catfish imported from the U.S. According to Ocean Wise statistics, less than two per cent of all imported seafood (shrimp, crab, catfish and/or others) gets inspected before it’s sold. Needless to say, after reading all of this about basa fish, I wasn’t enjoying my meal nearly as much. However, things got worse. The prawns I had put in the rice didn’t fare all that well either. Most of the shrimp available in stores are raised and imported from shrimp farms. Not only does shrimp farming bring about the destruction of huge expanses of tropical coastlines, large amounts of artificial feed and chemical additives, including chlo-

rine, malathion, parathion and other virulent pesticides are used in the rearing of farmed shrimp. Then there is the whole E. coli bacteria thing which has also been linked to farmed shrimp. At this point I was regretting not having ordered pizza. Upon even more investigation, I learned that tilapia, the second-most cultivated fish in the world (according to Fisheries and Oceans Canada) is routinely sold as red snapper, farmed salmon as wild and premium species such as Atlantic cod are often swapped for cheaper, less desirable, but more readily available fish, all unbeknownst to the general consumer. All I know for sure is that as much as I have always been a practitioner of catch and release, there is certainly something to be said for going out and catching a wild fish in one of the countless lakes, rivers or streams in our province, bringing it home and eating it. I haven’t had trout for a while. Maybe with a yogurt, orange and saffron sauce and...

VIEW POINT

Rules in place to protect the lake I would like to remind everyone of the many regulations in place to protect our beautiful lake. Do these rules not apply to everyone? A lot of people have tried to develop in Blind Bay and have spent their family fortunes to try and do so. In the end, they lose it all and go bankrupt. I feel that this entire project has turned into a popularity contest. I have read letters from Mr. Baskill, how they and their family will lose everything and they have had a sick child. Yes, this is all very sad, but nothing to do with this proposed development other than to create a bunch of

bleeding-heart followers. Our lake is the issue! There have been thousands of dollars spent on public studies regarding water quality and docks have become a huge issue, apparently interfering with the health of the lake. So new rules are in place for docks and buoys. Also, water run-off has been a proven water polluter. Blind Bay lake water is not the best to start with. Remember the beach closures we have had? How can increased boat slips and high-density, lake-side housing help any of these “already in place problems?” This development does nothing for us local residents except create busier

roads and strain our already over-stressed public services. There is no way the owners of this proposed development can guarantee the safety of our lake. With higher density housing and additional boat slips, gas and oil spills would be inevitable, along with rainwater run-off and garbage issues. Enough meetings and protests. The rules say no to all of us, so no it should be. Thank you to our out-of-area directors for seeing this for what it is. Another developer trying to make personal fortunes at the expense of our lake.

Urging B.C. to ban flavoured tobacco The Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon is calling on the provincial government to ban all flavoured tobacco products now in order to reduce the number of tobacco related deaths in B.C. When it comes to flavoured tobacco products, there are three important facts: Most people start

smoking when they are young; more than half of youth who smoke use flavoured products; and recent polling shows 81 per cent of B.C. youth ages 15 to 18 want to ban all fruit and candy-flavoured tobacco products. Knowing this, the solution is clear – to reduce youth smoking, we need the provincial

government to take action by banning flavoured tobacco. Flavoured tobacco products are specifically engineered to attract new youth smokers with their child-like bright coloured packaging and candy flavours. Prohibiting the sale of flavoured tobacco products is a policy that will help reduce

tobacco use and reduce cancer incidence. Please encourage your MLA and the BC Health Minister to take action and create a provincial ban on all flavours of all types of tobacco products.

A grumbling gardener GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

“Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 If there’s one thing I like about writing a garden column, it’s that there’s no shortage of things to write about. I get to impart important information on all kinds of subjects, ponder philosophically about the meaning of gardening and encourage my readers to embrace the environmental role we can all play. I can jump on my high horse and type away about the benefits of tending the land organically and why to strive for a toxic-free world. Garden foo-foos and fails are always fun to write about, along with fleshing out facts on flowers and plants, meandering down the nostalgic path of time to childhood memories and returning to those interesting places that I’ve seen and traveled to.

I also get to grumble if I want to. My hubby wryly describes me as ‘an architect of time’ – an attribute I feel I fine-tuned during my earlier office days, and then as a mother holding up a hundred balls in the air. I do admit I pride myself on my ability to organize, prioritize and orchestrate my day in such an efficient manner that I don’t waste a single moment of it. This I feel, allows me to get as much done as possible within the natural daily restraints of sunrise and sunset and it also gives me some flexibility when those unexpected and inevitable interruptions interfere with my day when I’m digging around the daffodils. However, whether these forced interludes are fun or frustrating, I still grapple with that “just go with the flow” warm and fuzzy feeling and instead let fly an expletive or two under my breath when my momentum gets mucked up. What really gets my goat is lost and wasted time - you know, that one-step-forward-twosteps-back feeling. For example, how much lost time do I spend every year wrestling with hoses that twist up while I drag them around, that inevitably catch on something that will pull it

out or over, and then on the sprinklers that sprinkle everywhere except the place I want it to, taking countless adjustments to get it right. Precious time has been wasted when the motors on my machines wouldn’t start and many more minutes are lost again while my handy hubby is hassling with them. Hunting down hand tools I had just put down and had somehow mysteriously vanished, like some invisible little elves had gleefully made off with them, seems to be an every day time-stealer too. We gardeners already need to deal with the annual scramble of planting, seeding, weeding, watering, harvesting and storing as it is, let alone all those extra jobs in between that need doing, redoing, rearranging or repairing. And no season is excluded from it. In my life for example, springtime is doing firewood, taking at least a whole week out of my garden schedule. Summer means school is out when there’s lots of involuntary time out for playing and entertaining, and no time for gardening. Fall time is combing the community for bags and bags of materials for my com-

post containers, leaving little time for much else. And now it’s wintertime, when all I can do is watch the seen and unforeseen casualties inflicted by the weather. The first cuss to cross my lips was caused by that measly one inch of wet snow that fell in December that busted up my big butterfly bush, which will now require a great deal of surgery and pruning in the spring. The second to slip up was when an entire 40foot length of post-andrail fence – along with the perfectly placed rocks surrounding it – was oops-identally taken out by the excavator that was pressed into service for snow removal. Perhaps a tree will topple onto the garden shed or trash my nice new trellises, or maybe my shrubs and bushes will be completely squashed and suffocated under the mountains of piled up snow. Will my beautiful red climbing rose that’s had three near-death experiences already, finally succumb to a vicious freeze/thaw/ freeze cycle? Who knows what the winter will wreak upon my landscape and what my fix-it list will look like by spring. All I can do about it in the meantime, I guess, is grumble.

Imagination counteracts boredom “Missing Mummy” was my favorite, whereby the “mummy” would get rolled up in the very popular and well-used blanket, get repeatedly pounced on, and then break out of the “tomb” which would turn into a game of tag, and eventually the next mummy would be tagged and selected. This cycle would be repeated for hours. Bully in the Blanket (which back then referred to an actual bull) also used the same old blanket and different rules, but after many hours the game never got old. Only we did. So what can parents do to strengthen their child’s creativity and imagination? Here are a few tips: • Offer a safe environment. Many parents are afraid to let their children play alone outside because of safety concerns. There are however safe places where

CHILDREN’S CORNER Tanja Carlson

Mom, I’m bored. Oh boy, how things have changed since I was a little girl. My siblings and I learned at an early age never to let mom know we were bored unless we were so desperate for something to do that being assigned household chores was more fun than something we could dream up on own, or that by voicing our boredom we didn’t go “play in the traffic” as mom suggested. To this day I smile when I think about two favorite games my siblings and cousins created and used to play.

children can get out and explore on their own with unobtrusive adult supervision such as backyards, neighborhood cul-de-sacs, school or community playgrounds and parks. • Provide “open ended” things to play with. These are items that can be used in multiple ways like blocks, Lego, play dough, art supplies and yes – blankets. • Avoid over scheduling and over structuring.

Research indicates that children are losing many hours of free time per week. Allow more time for creative play rather than enrolling our children in lessons, organized sports and camps. May this be the beginning of some fond childhood memories that will last a life time.

Get smart about snow removal

There are many good things about a fresh coating of snow on the ground, especially for those who are avid outdoor enthusiasts. Fresh powder makes for ideal skiing conditions as well as opportunities for snowshoeing and snowboarding. Fresh snow also means having to clean up driveways and sidewalks. Snow shoveling is something many people do not enjoy, and it can potentially be dangerous if not done properly. The possibility of an accident or injury while shoveling snow is very real. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons states that the most common injuries associated with snow removal include sprains and strains, particularly in the back and shoulders. Individuals who use snowblowers are not immune to injury, either. The Consumer Product Safety Commission found that more than 6,000 people were injured using snowblowers in 2009. Injuries from snowblowers can include lacerations and finger amputations. Serious health problems may result from snow shoveling and snowblowing, including heart failure from overexertion. Many people are simply not physically fit enough to move heavy quantities of snow. Those who are may not treat snow removal as they would a strenuous exercise, which would need a warm-up period so as not to strain muscles. Furthermore, improper body mechanics can put undue stress on the lower back and cause herniated discs or degeneration in the spine. To make reduce the risk of injury when shoveling snow, consider the following tips.

Eye Health Take this test: Are you Diabetic? Wear Contact Lenses? Over 65?

YES YES YES

If you answered yes to any of the above, you need to know that eye disease can silently sneak up and cause vision loss. Yearly exams detect problems early and help prevent blindness.

Sicamous Vision Care Centre Optometrist, Dr. Shelley Geier

Snow removal is a fact of life for many people each winter. Treat it as a strenuous exercise that requires proper technique to help minimize injuries. * Consult first with a doctor to get a health assessment. If you are restricted from certain strenuous exercises, it stands to reason that you will be restricted from shoveling snow as well. Many people underestimate just how strenuous snow removal can be. * Choose the right snow shovel or snowblower. Tools with a curved handle or an adjustable length handle will help you feel more comfortable and minimize slouching and arching of the back. Select a shovel or snowblower that is lightweight to reduce the amount of weight you have to move in addition to the weight of the snow. * Dress appropriately for the weather by layering clothing. Layering enables you to remain warm, but then shed layers should you become overheated. Sweating and having damp clothing could put you at risk for hy-

pothermia. Be sure to cover extremities to guard against frostbite. * Warm up muscles by treating snow removal for what it is -- a physical activity. Cold, tight muscles are more prone to injury, say experts. It is adviseable to spend 10 to 15 minutes with moderate exercise to get the body ready for the workout ahead. Take a brisk walk and stretch your arms, legs and back. It is best to limber up to avoid injury. * Begin shoveling slowly, lifting only small amounts of snow. Remember that it is not a race, and there are no prizes offered for getting the job done in record time. * Keep your back straight while bending your knees to lift snow. Position your feet wide apart for the best distribution of weight. * Carry the shovelfuls of snow to where you want them, rather than tossing snow to the side or over your

shoulders, which can only injure your body. Try to keep your arms close to your body to reduce stress on the spine. * If using a snowblower, always wear eye protection. * Never reach into the blades of a snowblower to dislodge snow or another obstruction. Turn off the snowblower first and wait for a few seconds to let the blades recoil before attempting to clear the blades. * Turn off the engine any time you are walking away from the snowblower. * Keep tabs on the electrical cord so that you don’t trip or accidentally run over it. * Do not allow children to operate the snowblower. If you are not feeling well, it is best to leave snow removal to someone else. Many lawn care services double as snow removal businesses once the seasons change. Check to see what plans your landscaper offers.

Tug of war for transportation taxes BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark has set off a storm of protest by imposing a referendum on new Lower Mainland transportation improvements, timed with the province-wide municipal elections on Nov. 15. Even if you don’t live in Metro Vancouver, you’re not immune from this long-running saga. Provincial and federal governments use your tax dollars for the big stuff, including the SkyTrain Canada Line to Vancouver airport and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a new truck route to port facilities at Tsawwassen. Clark has promised a bridge replacement for the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River, which may or may not be tolled like the Port Mann bridge. The patchwork of Lower Mainland tolls is a growing political liability for the B.C. Liberal government, and if further tolls are avoided, major works elsewhere in the province may be delayed as the budget is eaten up by the big cities. Clark announced the Massey tunnel replacement in a September 2012 speech to the Union of B.C.

Municipalities. In the same speech, she also pledged to complete the four-laning of the last 240 kilometres of the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border. That’s one of the most mountainous stretches of highway in Canada, and the province’s cost was estimated at the time to be $650 million over 10 years. Time will tell if that promise is kept. Transportation Minister Todd Stone inherited the mess left behind by former minister Kevin Falcon, who took transit authority away from Metro Vancouver poli-

“...She also pledged to complete the four-laning of the last 240 kilometres of the TransCanada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border.” ticians. He appointed a board of experts and set up a toothless “mayors’ council” to rubber-stamp their decisions, after forcing through the Canada Line ahead of a longpromised transit extension to the east. Local politicians wrangled for years over that eastern extension. They finally settled on surface light rail, only to be overruled by the province, which wanted the vastly more expensive SkyTrain. The latest rebuke to the mayors’ council

BANNISTER

was when they decided not to proceed with a costly new electronic fare card system. Falcon reversed that one after taking a junket to London and falling in love with their “Oyster card” subway system. All the glitches from TransLink’s new “Compass card” program will be encountered this summer, just before those mayors go to the polls to face voter wrath. Speaking of reversals, Stone is now demanding the mayors come up with their list of priorities for new projects. They are expected to believe their choices won’t be overruled again. Stone correctly notes that Vancouver wants SkyTrain on Broadway, Surrey wants new surface light rail, and other Lower Mainland communities want new road and bridge works. Local governments

have a long history of parochial squabbling, getting their pet projects done and then suddenly developing the urge to rein in spending once it’s time to dig deep for their neighbours. Lower Mainland taxpayers are weary and confused by all this reorganizing and in-fighting. Many likely believe that it is their regional government that has imposed the Port Mann bridge tolls, when in fact that is a provincial highway project over which they had no say. Clark has made it clear there is no going back from a November referendum on new regional transportation financing tools, a promise explicit in the B.C. Liberal election platform. She hopes it will increase the dismal voter turnout for local votes. If it does that, it may

GENERAL MECHANICAL REPAIRS

be worth it. Right now, civic elections are dismal affairs, with voter turnout and awareness of local issues drifting from bad to worse. -Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Chase Houseboat case moved back By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAff

The timeline for a court case involving a fatal boat crash on Shuswap Lake in 2010 continues to lengthen. Leon Michael Reinbrecht of Celista stands charged with criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm, following a crash in Magna Bay on July 3, 2010 that left an 18-foot Campion Runabout speedboat driven by Reinbrecht fully embedded inside the cabin of a houseboat. Although the trial was initially set for September 2013, it was pushed back to January 2014 in order for the defendant to try to secure legal aid funding. Then, in a court appearance on Nov. 26 in Kamloops, Reinbrecht’s lawyer in-

dicated he would no longer be the defence counsel. Although a start date of Jan. 6 had been set previously for the trial that is expected to take five to six weeks, the case returned to the courts on Jan. 20. The purpose was to accommodate the appearance of a new defence lawyer. Now the case will return to court on Feb. 3, when a new date for the trial will be set. 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. Reinbrecht, in his early fifties, was charged in December 2011 following a 17-month investigation carried out by the Chase RCMP detach-

The budget draft will be completed and ready to be presented at the next council meeting. At the Jan. 14 meeting, Mayor Ron Anderson encouraged the public to attend the budget meetings, joking they are not as bor-

Saving energy, money By Cavelle Layes contributor

Urban Systems gave Chase council something to think about after their presentation on corporate energy usage reduction. Dylan Houlihan showed council at the Jan. 14 council meeting just where the village stands regarding energy consumption. After reviewing the energy usage patterns within the village and identifying some of its hotspots, the Urban Systems representative explained to council just how much they are spending on energy and why. In 2012, Houlihan estimated, the village spent $125,000 on energy. Most of it, he said, was spent on electricity. Urban Systems identified the

largest user in the area as the water pump, accounting for $20,000 a year on electricity. The $125,000 is a low number, Houlihan cautioned, noting he does not have the data on buildings such as the curling rink, and suggested the number is actually higher. Even at the lower estimate, energy accounts for seven per cent of tax dollars collected and, if the pattern continues, the future will only require more energy, and more money. Houlihan notes how BC Hydro’s rates have increased over the years and will continue to rise by 10 per cent over the next few years. Houlihan suggests the village begins to takes steps to reduce its energy usage and carbon footprint.

The province has also been setting targets for lowering its impact on the environment. Houlihan says it is impossible to get down to zero emissions but it is not impossible to work towards that number. He notes emissions from electricity are not as harmful as those from the fuel and diesel used by the village fleet. He suggested there are many products that can be purchased to reduce emissions. Council would need to first decide which route it would like to take in reducing energy. While a reduction in the electrical usage does not have as much of an impact on the environment as other forms of energy, it does save the village more money.

Chamber surveys consumers

Gas prices: Group tries to gauge purchasing habits. By Lachlan Labere

market news staff

The Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce wants to know how many people are buying gas out of town, how often and where. On Wednesday the chamber will be releasing a public survey to help gauge local purchasing habits related to gasoline. The survey asks how often people are filling up out of town, where and for what reason. It also touches on out-of-town shopping trips. Chamber president Jim Kimmerly says the intent of the survey is to gather hard data to assist the chamber in its ongoing effort to make

sure Salmon Arm and Shuswap residents are receiving a fair price at the gas pump. In addition, Kimmerly says the survey results may provide a better understanding of how lower gas prices in communities like Enderby and Vernon are hurting local businesses. “Once we get back that type of information – and I have a sense it’s probably going to show a fair amount of people buying gas out of town – then we’ve got something else to work with the petroleum companies,” said Kimmerly, adding the information received will be used in further discussions with petroleum companies, whose own local

Jim Kimmerly franchises may be losing out by lower pricing elsewhere. “With people buying their gas out of town, that’s OK with the petroleum companies, they’re getting the business, but their dealers aren’t getting the business here,” said Kimmerly. As of Jan. 29, regular gas in Salmon Arm

Bonnie is predeceased by her parents; Alexander and Margaret Murray, and her loving husband of 41 years, George. All too soon she has left behind her 3 children; Donn (Kenn Johnston) Fuller; Morgan (James) Kazanci; and Teresa Fuller; her 5 grandchildren; Jimmy Vandergrift; Sarah and Marilyn Newnes; David and Daniel Kazanci. Her brothers and sisters; Alex (Linda) Murray; Jim Murray; Pat (Frank) Fraser; Anne (Robin) Caldwell; Fran (Ric) Laidlaw; Dolores (Frank) Osborne; Kathy (Dan) Crawford as well as many nieces and nephews. Bonnie’s home was the gathering place for family. The coffee was always on and muffins ready to enjoy with the conversation. She was a secure confidant, always available and unwavering in her support towards her immediate family members. She was our rock. Those who were troubled would find peace with her real-life wisdom. She dedicated herself to raising her family and then began a 30 year career managing Centenoka Park Mall. After retiring in January 2012 she discovered she had a natural talent for painting. To her joy she found a passionate pastime at which she flourished, spending almost every day sitting in the sun at her kitchen table with paintbrush in hand. We were all so proud and impressed with her work. Our Mom, Grandma, Sister, Aunt and Friend will be missed, but her influence, wisdom, kindness and caring will go forth along in our hearts. Thank you Bonnie for sharing your life ~ so beautifully, with us. Please join us in a celebration of her life at the Salmon Arm Elks Hall on Saturday, February 1, 2014 at 1:30 pm.

DARYL FREDERICK HUGHES Daryl Hughes, loving husband, dad, grandpa, brother, son, and friend, was born in Regina, Sask. on May 25, 1952 and passed away at home, in Sicamous BC, on January 22, 2014 with his family by his side. He was an RCMP Officer for almost 36 years. He practiced his job fairly, with good judgement, and common sense. He always made a point of becoming a part of the community in which he lived. These included Kelowna, Keremeos, Dawson Creek, New Hazelton, Sicamous, Salmon Arm, and Revelstoke. Family was the priority in Daryl’s life. He shared love, humour, strength, and kindness with those around him. He is remembered as an animated story teller and great listener. He kept us laughing and smiling around dinner tables, fires, and soaks in the hot-tub. Daryl embraced life as an avid outdoorsman who found peace and happiness while fishing and hunting the beautiful waters and lands of Western Canada. If you spend any time on Shuswap Lake, Daryl will be with you. Through the years he delighted in travelling throughout Canada with his family as well as Europe, Hawaii, Mexico, and the Oregon Coast with his wife. We love you and miss you greatly. The path you walked in life is an inspiration to all of us. You live in our hearts and minds forever. Just as you wanted, we will have as much fun as possible in our lives. As you always said, “It’s A Beautiful Thing.” Daryl is survived by his loving wife DonnaLynne, cherished children Jenna(Jordie), Tyler, Jarrett(Colleen), grandchildren Triton, Toby, and Lincoln, parents Fred and Beatrice Hughes, motherin-law Evelyn Koch, sisters Dianne and Darlene, brothers Stacy and James, numerous sisters-inlaw, brothers-in-law, nieces, and nephews. He is pre-deceased by his father-in-law Ernest Koch. Daryl requested no public funeral service. There will be a private celebration of life when the sun begins to warm the lake. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to The Shuswap Hospital Foundation at 601 10 St NE, Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4A8 www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org or the charity of your choice. Online condolences can be sent through Daryl’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

A slice of life as a Member of Parliament

Canada” (a youth group) reception until 9:30 p.m. Thursday, from 8:45 until 10:45 a.m., I attended an ethics committee meeting, then house duty from 11 to 2 p.m. From 2 to 3 p.m., I was at question period and then from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at HUMA. Then back to the chamber for house duty until 7 p.m. Early Friday morning, I left Ottawa for the riding and arrived at the Vernon office by 3 p.m., where I spent some time going over my schedule with my staff, answering letters, emails and phone calls, then drove home and later attended a riding event. Saturday, I spent some quality time with my family and early Sunday morning got on a flight back to Ottawa. I arrived in Ottawa at 7 p.m. As you can see, a Member of Parliament’s day is very diverse.
