New lights for Shaw Centre hockeyville: Winnings will make rink more energy-efficient. By lachlan labere obServer STAFF

lighting in Shaw centre’s Spectator Arena is about to get brighter – and more efficient, thanks in part to Salmon Arm’s success in the Kraft canada Hockeyville competition. on Monday, the city took possession of the $50,000 earned in the 2014 Hockeyville challenge for coming in second place in the Western canada bracket. After a giant novelty cheque was presented by Hockeyville representative Kathy colbeck, council approved the money being used in combination with $85,000 from the city’s climate Action reserve to refit the Spectator Arena with led lighting. Illuminating council on the benefits of the led technology proposed for the arena, Shuswap recreation Society general manager dale berger said it could be dimmed or turned on instantly; that it would provide about a third more brightness – beneficial for televising events; and that it would result in substantial financial savings in terms of energy use and bulb replacement. berger said the led units have a life expectancy of more than 40 years, while the current bulbs require changing every one to one-and-a-half years. other benefits of led lighting include reduced co2 emissions, no light degradation and the fact leds produce little heat, meaning a reduction in maintenance and refrigeration costs. not present at the presentation was Salmon Arm economic development Society manager lana Fitt, who spearheaded the initiative to make Salmon Arm a Hockeyville competitor. Mayor nancy cooper and berger credited her for the work she did in “driving the process.” coun. debbie cannon encouraged berger and the recreation society to seek out big events that could benefit from the new lighting system. only coun. Alan Harrison could see a downside to the new led lighting system. “our goalie would often say he couldn’t see the puck. now we’re just going to have to come up with a different excuse,” joked Harrison.

Parents advised to be prepared Continued from front District Board of Education issued a news release, advising parents to be prepared in case school does not begin as planned on Sept. 2. “Province-wide, school trustees are calling on the province, BCTF and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association to immediately return to the bargaining table, and implement the recommendations made in the B.C. School Trustees’ Association’s (BCSTA) Back to School Action Plan,” states the release. “This includes working towards a negotiated settlement that falls within the economic

mandate set up by the provincial government and makes improvements to class size and composition, as well as ensuring the savings from the strike and lockout stay within the public school system to benefit students.” Board of education chair Bobbi Johnson says the board has been lobbying for a negotiated settlement since the strike started. “The local board has written letters to the government, BCPSEA and BCTF, have met with MLA Greg Kyllo and have urged parents to make their views known. Recently, through social media, they have encouraged parents to read about

as well as several earlier exploratory discussions with third parties. Most recently, mediator Vince Ready has agreed to monitor the situation, and to resume exploratory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be productive.” The Ministry of Finance recently announced ‘Temporary Education Support for Parents’ to help with learning and supervision should the strike go into September. It is described as $40 per eligible child 12 and under for each day the child is not in school as a result of the labour disruption. Registration for the payment can be done by completing an

Directors want safety beacon By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

A boating fatality at Hungry Cove has prompted the Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors to issue a plea for the installation of a navigation beacon to improve safety. Darryl John Johnston, 50, of Calgary died Aug. 16 when the boat he was driving crashed into a rock face at Hungry Cove at 9:30 p.m., throwing him into the water. Another man, who was in the boat’s cabin was seriously injured. Rhona Martin, rural Sicamous director, introduced the motion, saying this is not the first time boaters have been injured or had boats damaged at that area, although this ap-

peared to be the first fatality at that location. She noted that years ago, former Sicamous Mayor Gordon Mackie had also written similar letters of request for a safety beacon to the appropriate government agencies but nothing was ever installed. In light of the fatality and the length of time since those letters were written, Martin felt it was an appropriate time to request another safety beacon. “There’s no rule or law that can govern common sense when driving your boat in the dark, but I think a warning light still make sense. It may help prevent things from happening,” says Martin. The CSRD unanimously approved the motion.

Thirty-three years after it was first legislated, directors of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District voted unanimously to approve a new policy governing their conduct surrounding personal expenses for staff and elected officials. Finance manager Jodi Kooistra sought amendments on the policy that affects both staff and directors because there were no guidelines that set limits on meal expenditures, room upgrades or partner programs. As well, there was a lack of consistency in how expense claims were processed. Previous discussions regarding the new policy generated questions and comments regarding directors’ responsibility in choosing the cheapest mode of transportation, hotels and meals. Kooistra reiterated the policy declares directors and staff are expected to “utilize the most cost-effective method of travel considering time, convenience and safety.” Kooistra made clear that meal expenses for business outside of CSRD limits are on a strictly per diem basis. Within CSRD limits, detailed receipts are required to prevent fraudulent use of the per diem. David Raven Rural area direcCSRD BOARD tors initially balked at CHAIR approving the policy, sending it back to the Electoral Area Directors (EAD) committee meeting for further discussion. Following this, a few minor changes were made to the policy including setting a two-tiered per diem rate for meals, as it was felt that costs were higher in the Greater Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler areas. Area C director Paul Demenok proposed an amendment that would make using government hotel rates mandatory, but this was discouraged by staff, who noted this was not always the most economical option. For example, a using the hotel closest to a conference could be the cheaper option than getting a government rate farther away and paying for mileage. “There is a trust factor here, and I think we are all very aware of the trust placed in us for the items we are claiming,” said board chair David Raven. “I think staff have been very prudent.” The policy also now includes a provision that it be reviewed every four years. “I’m glad to see the time schedule, so it won’t be 33 years before it is renewed again,” commented Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper.

Derkaz puts name in for Liberals Election: Gingras named to NDP, Conservatives vote next month. By Martha Wickett & Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

A Salmon Arm woman has announced her intention to seek the Liberal nomination in the federal OkanaganShuswap riding. Cindy Derkaz has filled out her nomination papers and mailed them to Ottawa. However, before she is officially declared a candidate in the 2015 election, she must be vetted and “green lit” by the Liberal Party of Canada. Derkaz, who was raised in Salmon Arm, is probably most wellknown recently for her former role as president of the Shuswap Community Foundation. She has had much involvement with nonprofits and she practised law for many years. Derkaz is running because: “Over the last three or four years, I’ve become increasingly concerned about the direction the county is taking under the Harper Conservative government and I feel it’s time to get involved and offer a change.” No one else has announced their intention to run for the federal Liberal Party in the riding and the candidate nomination meeting has not been scheduled yet. The federal New Democratic Party se-

lected its candidate for the riding Saturday in Armstrong. Jacqui Gingras of Falkland was chosen in the two-way race with Richard Smiley of the North Shuswap. “I am honoured, excited and prepared to carry forward the fight for everyday Canadians living in OkanaganShuswap,” Gingras said. She says her focus over the next six months will be to meet people in the riding and develop a better sense of their priorities and concerns. “People I have spoken with across our riding have shared with me their concerns about the environment, about jobs and about our fu-

businessperson Scott Anderson and former Lumby councillor Janet Green are all vying for the Conservative candidacy, with a nomination meeting tentatively scheduled for Oct. 4. Current OkanaganShuswap MP Colin Mayes has announced he won’t be running for MP again.

On the hunt for Franklin’s ships

By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

David Shea is looking to help solve one of Canada’s longest standing mysteries. The former Salmon Arm resident, who now lives and works in Conception Bay, Nfld., is currently in the Arctic as part of a team attempting to locate the historic ships of the ill-fated 1845 Franklin Expedition. Shea, who graduated from Salmon Arm Secondary in 2003, is the engineering manager for Kraken Sonar Systems, a company which uses stateof-the-art underwater sonar to scan and map the Arctic seabed and possibly find evidence of Franklin’s lost ships. “It will be amazing getting to see an area of the word that literally no one has ever seen before, and possibly contribute to finding evidence of one of the most famous shipwrecks of all time,” says Shea of the sonar images that will be coming up from the sea bottom. The annual hunt, which began in 2008, is looking for remnants of Sir John Franklin’s ships, the HMA Erebus and the HMS Terror. Both set sail in

1845 in the hopes of charting a route through the Northwest Passage, but none of the 128 men on board ever returned. Dubbed the 2014 Victoria Straight expedition, it is the Canadian government’s most ambitious endeavour to date in terms of both finding historic evidence of the lost explorer’s voyage and in mapping uncharted areas of the Arctic sea floor. It is a collaboration of Parks Canada, Defence Research Development Canada and other private and non-profit organizations and will include four ships – the Canadian Coast Guard’s CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Royal Canadian Navy’s HMCS Kingston, the Arctic Research Foundation’s research vessel Martin Bergmann, and One Ocean Expeditions’ One Ocean Voyager. An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) known as the Arctic Explorer, equipped with Kraken Sonar’s ultra highresolution sonar, will conduct a series of experiments testing the sonar in extremely low water temperatures. Shea explains that cameras are relatively useless in those

conditions for mapping, as they can only see a short distance and are useless in sea conditions where there is little to no light and sediment, which can obscure images. While an underwater amera could get an image up to five square metres, the Kraken sonar components can produce an image of 600 square metres. The sonar is of the same type that is being used in the search for MH370, the Malaysia Airlines jet that went down March 8. Shea says contrary to popular notions of finding a shipwreck, Franklin’s ships are not going to be found simply lying at the bottom like the Titanic. “These ships are 150 years old and were built with wooden hulls, with a bit of metal plating; plus, they were trapped in the ice and likely crushed, so we are looking for small pieces, not anything that is going to resemble an actual ship,” says Shea. He notes another disadvantage is that the Terror and Erebus were exploration, not war ships, so there won’t be metal components like cannons that might have lasted longer in

the frigid waters. Shea was invited to participate in the mission as he helped to design the system and is very familiar with its operation. He will help deal with any issues that may result due to the extreme depths and low temperatures. If the sonar locates anything, then other members of the expedition crew would be called to action. “We will mark what we find, and then another underwater vessel would attempt to retrieve it for the archeologists to study.” Shea says and his colleagues joke about the search being akin to looking for a needle in the haystack – without knowing where the haystack is. As part of the 2014 Search for Franklin Expedition, Prime Minister Stephen Harper spent two nights with expedition members on the HMCS Kingston, travelling from Pond Inlet to Arctic Bay in Nunavut. Harper participated in the testing of one of the remotely operated underwater vehicles which included the Kraken advanced sonar components. The expedition is expected to last for two weeks.

It has an appetite for concrete but it’s not so fond of metal. A track jaw machine owned by Salmon Arm Ready Mix hungrily chewed up all the concrete on the former Salmon Arm GM site and crushed it into a material that can be used underneath roads. Not so partial to metal, the machine spits out separately any rebar or wire mesh, leaving it to be taken to the depot for recycling. “So many times the stuff is just buried in somebody’s field or something. It’s nice to see it finally being used,” said Read LaTosky, Ready Mix

owner. He said the track jaw machine can crush rocks, asphalt and concrete pieces that are up to about 24 inches diameter, down to a little over three inches. A magnet with a revolving belt gathers any metal and then spits it out. “It’s not brand new technology, we’ve had it for six to eight years,” LaTosky says of the machine. “It’s the first time anyone’s got us on a job to do it properly.” LaTosky was hired by Mountainside Earthworks of Salmon Arm, who was hired by the owner for the demolition. “I was really happy to do it. I’ve been waiting so long to be able to recycle something like

Women’s shelter in need of donations By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Demand is outdoing supply at the Salmon Arm Women’s Shelter – and your help is needed. The summer has seen an increased demand in services, and a decrease in donations, explains Jane Shirley, executive director of the SAFE (Shuswap Area Family Emergency) Society. “It is unusual to run out of items at this time of year as we are usually stocked up until our food drive in October. This year we are thinking we will need to start the food drive earlier than mid-October.” Throughout June, July and August the shelter has housed 23 women and 19 children. Items the women’s shelter is particularly in need of are: dry cereals; peanut butter - smooth; regular macaroni noodles; Ichiban soups; Kraft dinner; spaghetti noodles; pasta sauces; canned tuna and salmon; canned fruits and vegetables including mushrooms; condiments such as mayonnaise, salad dressings and ketchup; sugar;

white/whole wheat flour; coffee/tea/ hot chocolate; cooking oil; tampons; larger diapers; shampoo/conditioners; toilet paper; paper towels; and kids’ snacks or juice boxes needed for daycare, school or support-group snacks. Produce from the garden is also happily accepted, Shirley says. “We try to use the Canada Food Guide to ensure that the families in need are getting the proper nutrition during their time of crisis. This time of year we happily accept fresh produce, sharing any extra with families who have left to try to ensure that things don’t go to waste.” Donations can be dropped off anytime by calling 250-832-9616. Cash/ cheque donations are greatly appreciated and can be mailed to: SAFE Society, PO Box 1463, Salmon Arm, V1E 4P6. Donations can also be made to the society’s website at www.safesociety.ca and follow the link to Canada Helps, where you can donate to the SAFE Society online. A tax receipt will be emailed to you for a donation of more than $10.

Addictions centre opens doors By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A new resource is available in Salmon Arm for people dealing with addictions. A grand opening was held at Foothills Centre for Change on Aug. 22 to introduce people to the new facility, its staff and the specialized addictions treatment programs it offers. Open since Aug. 15, the residential private pay addictions treatment facility in the 4,000 block of Foothill Road contains 10 beds, and caters to men and women 18 and over.

Program director Jim Myklebust says treatment team members have all worked together before, providing these kinds of services. “Our professionally trained and caring staff provide structured holistic addictions treatment programming that evolved from many years of experience, education and, most importantly, our own personal addiction recoveries,” states the website. “We know – first hand – what will work to separate you from the seemingly endless cycle of addiction.”

The staff ratio is about one per two clients. The primary addictions being treated are substance and alcohol abuse, as well as gambling. Myklebust says the centre is an abstinencebased program and incorporates 12 steps in the treatment model. Length of stay will vary based on the person’s needs, ranging from 30 to 90 days. To learn more about the Foothills Centre for Change, go to: http:// www.foothillscentre. com or call 250-8046549.

Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Guaranteed also for rheumatoid and sciatica, (My own affliction). Truthful actual experiences from real people: < For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realized I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to #1 NPN 80042283 have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

A diuretic to help relieve mild urinary tract infections. True success stories by women: <Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON < 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back.

ACNE

Works by cleaning blood from the inside, instead of attacking skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving actual cause untreated. Actual Results. <After 1 week my severe acne became quite mild and after 2 weeks it had completely vanished. I suffered for 5 stressful years of having acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. Bell Help for Skin Disorders“saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I suffered from acne and other skin problems for years. Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON RED NOSE/CHEEKS ROSACEA gone in less than a week. Was fighting it for 30 years with topical creams and prescriptions without getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. Will take it for the rest of my life when needed. Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON PSORIASIS<I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell Help for Skin Disorders, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. #60 NPN 80044199 It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC ECZEMA For 6 years my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams. After taking Bell Help for Skin Disorders for just a few days my eczema itching stopped and my face started to clear up. After suffering so long I am amazed with the results.

The Salmon Arm Slammers slammed the competition at the Miele Provincial Team Tennis Championships over the weekend. Shirley Knorr, Loree Boyd, Cynthia Langford, Marietjie du Plessis and Marianne VanBuskirk won the Division 2 Ladies 3.5-4.0 provincial championships held at the Whistler Racquet Club in Whistler. Team tennis matches are played in a best-of-three series consisting of one singles match and, if needed, two doubles matches where the other four players must compete. Playing the singles matches was du Plessis, while the other four women strategically rotated pairings to best compete against their opponents. Team Salmon Arm won their first two matches of the opening round-robin against

two separate teams from West Vancouver, before defeating the Victoria Net Assets. Despite only playing three of the four round-robin matches, Team Salmon Arm was able to secure first in the standings and a spot in the provincial finals. The Slammers lost their final contest of the round-robin in a tough match to Team Nanaimo, but still retained their first-place standing. The championship match went to a thrilling last set tiebreaker against the West Vancouver Night. Team Salmon Arm prevailed, coming back from a set down to win the provincial title 4-6, 6-4, 13-11. The men’s side of the tournament in Kelowna was contested by Salmon Arm’s String Theory: Kevin Pearson, Ken Hecker, Dan Wark, George Elamatha, Detlef Doose and

Controversial ruling hands Muik derby win By Evan Buhler OBSERVER STAFF

This past Sunday, 18 cars crashed and smashed in the dusty ring of the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds for demolition derby supremacy. In a controversial outcome, the victory was eventually awarded to car #.05, a 1964 Chysler Imperial driven by

Salmon Arm’s Joe Muik and co-piloted by Sean Jarvis. The final heat was “crashed” by car #1, a car that did not qualify to participate in the heat, driven by Revelstoke’s Daniel Peck. In an impressive display of driving, Peck went on to win the final heat, knocking out a majority of the cars that were in the running to win the derby,

much to the fans enjoyment. The original announcement crowned Peck and co-driver Nick Cassidy as the derby winners, but they were later disqualified. Heading into the final heat, car #333 driven by Mike Gordon was ranked first, followed by Muik and car #911 driven by Revelstoke’s brother duo, Franco and Steve Bafaro.

In this heat, Gordon became hitched to the bumper of another car after being hit hard by Peck, eventually forcing Gordon to wave the white flag. In the end, Muik was crowned champion, as he was one of the last remaining cars, picking up enough points to claim the hotly-debated victory over Gordon and disqualified Peck.

In a week’s time, 15 of Salmon Arm and Sicamous’ finest martial artists from Provincial Martial Arts will head to Richmond to participate in the World Martial Arts Games at the Richmond Oval. “It’s an open martial arts tournament. So every discipline will be represented from karate, taekwondo, kickboxing to traditional shotokan kata,” explains Holly Raczynski from Salmon Arm, who will coach and participate in the event which runs Sept. 3 to 7. With more than 500 competitors from more than 30 countries across the globe, the games will certainly be competitive. “The ages will range from seven and up to maybe 70, who knows, there might be some oldies there.” Qualifiers to compete at the games for Team Canada were held in each province, with athletes allowed to travel outside of their own province to qualify. In order to qualify, each athlete had to finish in the top two of their division, based on age and belt. The athletes from Provincial Martial Arts will compete in kickboxing, which is scored on a points system. Three points are awarded for a jumping kick to the head, two points for a hit to the

At the end of the tournament the athlete in each discipline with the highest accumulated points from all of their matches will be the winner by age and belt. Raczynski says that for many of the athletes, this will be their first chance to showcase their skills on the world stage and she is very hopeful they will come home with some medals. “This is the chance of a lifetime,” exclaims Will Phillips from Sicamous. “This year it is so accessible for all of

us, and it will be my last big tournament. I can’t wait to get out there.” Phillips explained that he has played many sports through his 45 years, but martial arts will always be his favourite. S i x t e e n - y e a r- o l d Lindsey Christian-Hack from Salmon Arm is equally enthusiastic. “It’s a huge experience, I’ve only ever done local events, and this one is on the world stage. It’s amazing, I can’t wait to test my abilities.” Christian-Hack explained that she would love to take home a medal, but she ultimate-

ly wants to go for the experience and to just try her best. Aside from the chance to compete at a world event, many of the athletes are most excited about seeing the other competitors from around the globe, and seeing their different styles and techniques. “I’m excited to see my auntie, uncle and baby cousin watch me,” said eight-year-old Elyssa Eddy. “I don’t know if my mom was joking, but she said she would make a sign to cheer for me.” For more information about the World Martial Art Games, visit www.

Hometown boy to join ’Backs The Salmon Arm Silverbacks Junior ‘A’ Hockey Club has announced it has made what it calls a “a significant acquisition” by acquiring the Hockey Canada playing rights for Salmon Arm local Shane Danyluk. Danyluk is being acquired from the West Kelowna Warriors for Michael Roberts and future considerations. “Shane has just completed four years at the WHL with the Prince Albert Raiders and amassed 25 goals and 52 assists for a total of 77 points in 248 games. Shane will be a dynamic forward for the ’Backs this season,” said Silverbacks general manager Troy Mick. “Shane wanted to play his last year of junior eligibility in his hometown in front of family and friends. We are absolutely thrilled that he will be wearing a ’Backs jersey this year. When you acquire

a player of Shane’s calibre, you have to give up a good player. We wish Michael Roberts the best of luck this coming season.”

Born Jan. 14, 1994, Danyluk is a centre who shoots left. He’s 5’11”/180 cm. and weighs 195 lbs./88 kg. Danyluk represented

Canada on the world stage in the World U-17 Hockey Challenge and has returned to his hometown to play in the annual Pro-Am game.

TRU starts preseason Building blocks: ’Pack working to gain momentum The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s soccer team is leaving the capital of Alberta with two respectable ties after their first weekend of Canada West exhibition play. The WolfPack finished a three-game series at MacEwan University by tying the host school 2-2. “We got off to a good start which was positive after our last match,” said Thompson Rivers head coach John Antulov, referring to the team’s 4-0 defeat at the hands of the University of Calgary Dinos on Saturday. TRU opened things up on Friday with a 3-3

tie against the Edmonton Scottish, a men’s senior team. “Logan Zimmerman got us started two minutes in,” Antulov explained. “He used his pace down the line and worked a give and go with Colton Walker, a sophomore from Salmon Arm.” The WolfPack could not capitalize on their other chances in the first half and wound up giving up a pair of goals to MacEwan. In the second half, the ’Pack came out and missed a number of chances. “We have to start capitalizing on our opportunities,” the WolfPack

coach stated. TRU was able to capitalize on a penalty kick in the 58 minute. “The teams played a little helter skelter after that goal,” Antulov said.

Colton Walker TRU wolfpack “We have to find the consistency. Our young guys are adapting to the

style and intensity of the play. Until they do, we will be in a bit of trouble. We have three more games and three more weeks to prepare for the season opener. We need to stop the irrational play.” Thompson Rivers will pay a visit to Prince George on the Labor Day weekend for two matches with the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves. They then return for an alumni match on Sept. 6, before opening their inaugural Canada West season on Friday, Sept. 12 against the Trinity Western University Spartans in Kamloops.

Performer: Bill Lockie performs at the Shuswap Pie Company. By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

or 55 years, the low rumbling tones of the bass guitar have been Bill Lockie’s muse. Still an avid member of the bustling music community in Salmon Arm, Lockie has played with an impressive roster of musicians and at a number of events, most recently playing in the theatre production Django at the Shuswap Community Theatre. It all began when he was

in Grade 12 in Invermere. “I heard a guy playing a guitar and he was singing country stuff, and I thought ‘wow, that’s really neat.’ So a friend of mine had a guitar and said ‘I’ll sell it to you for $20,’” said Lockie, noting that he’s mostly self taught but he took a few lessons here and there. It wasn’t until 1963 when he took hold of the bass guitar. It started in Vancouver when he joined first band – The Chessman, who played early 60s rock and roll. The

band needed a bass Johnston and Debbie player, so Lockie Reid, made up the The took on the challenge Phantoms, a rock and roll of a new instrument – band that focused their and it’s stuck ever since. sounds on the 60s and 70s. “I like a lot of things Since then, Lockie’s exabout playing music, I tensive music career has play every day, practice taken place with a variety everyday and just enjoy of bands such as the gypsy the process.

Stories, songs and sustenance Haney Heritage Village: Popular event set for Sunday. For the past 10 years local storyteller James Murray has been sharing his often humorous, sometimes poignant stories with audiences throughout the province. This Sunday, Aug. 31, Murray, accompanied by the musical stylings of The Red Mollies, will once again take the stage at R. J. Haney Heritage Village for the fourth annual Burger, Beer and a Bard. Gourmet burgers and Crannog Ales will be served at 4 p.m. followed by Murray and The Red Mollies’ performance at 5:30 on the stage of the SASCU amphitheatre. Tickets for the event are $20 and are available at Save On Foods and Touch ‘A Texas in the Mall at Piccadilly, and, at R. J. Haney Heritage Village by phoning 250 832-5243. “This show is a whole new adventure.

New stories and great new accompaniment,” says Murray. “We can’t wait to take the stage.” Sunday’s show will be the first of a whole new career for former Observer reporter/photographer Murray who plans to take the show on tour. Together the group brings a wealth of experience to the stage. The Red Mollies are made up of Sue Stevens on upright bass and vocals, Saro Stevens on violin and Sandy Fraser on guitar and vocals. Mother and daughter Stevens perform with the popular Stevens Family Band while Sandy Fraser has sung and acted on several continents over the past three decades. “The songs and music weave their way through the stories” says Fraser. “We’ve been rehearsing hard for well over a month and the group has really put together some

interesting and unique approaches to combining stories with song and music. We’ll be starting out with the old Patsy Cline song Crazy and finishing the show with Paul Simon’s Still Crazy After

All These Years. In between are some beautifully crafted stories.” The two Stevens say they are equally excited about working with Murray. “This is really something different, especially for me. Things that I have never been able to put into words, James does, and the music and words to the songs, well, it all just ties in together so well,” says Sue Stevens. “It’s always good to take on new challenges,” she adds, “and think the audience is in for a real treat. “ In past years the show has sold-out so it is important to get tickets soon.

Gilbert (also called Gil or Gilby) was born at Wetaskiwin, AB on January 28, 1942. Gil was raised on a farm and lived a very busy farm life. He was the oldest child of Reino and Helen Havanka. Other children born later are a brother, Dale, and a sister, Karen. In Alberta, Gil attended school at Ernest Park and completed high school at Falun. He was very athletic playing hockey on the Falun team, was a pitcher on the ball teams as well as playing horseshow with his Dad and uncles. Gil helped on the farm until his late teens and then worked on oil rigs. In the early 60’s he worked as a power lineman for Ace Construction. In 1965 he married Lois Hill and moved to Edmonton. He changed jobs and began working for Edmonton Power. His daughter, Lanette, was born in 1969. In 1972 Gil went to Auctioneer School at Lacombe, AB and got his license as an auctioneer. He became a partner in the Wetaskiwin Auction Market. He bought land in the Falun area and moved his family to the farm in 1973. He sold his interest in the Auction Market but continued to auctioneer at cattle sales. A daughter, Theresa, was born in 1975. Gil started trucking under the business name of Mulhurst Transport hauling oil drums and materials for Bonnie Glen Gas Plant. He bought a caterpillar and other equipment keeping very busy with the farming and raising cattle as well. In 1982 Gil and Lois sold the farm and moved to Salmon Arm, B.C. Gil worked for Armstrong Farm Equipment for a few months and then bought a small farm where he raised cattle and hay. He loved to farm and took on custom work. He had different sizes of John Deere tractors and other farm equipment. He loved working for other people tilling their fields, putting up their hay, etc. In the winter he snowplowed for some trailer parks, churches or wherever he was needed. His daughters married and he was blessed with four grandchildren – Daniah, Kalee, Gillian and Brady. He treasured his grandkids and took them for tractor rides to show them the baby calves and farm animals. In the winter he made tracks for them to tobbagan and bought a snowmobile for them to get up and down the hills. They called him “Pop” and loved to come to the farm every chance they had. Over the years Gil and Lois travelled with friends and family to Fairmont Hotsprings and found time to do some camping. They managed some winter holidays to the warm resorts and also took a couple of cruises. Gil enjoyed playing cards and socializing. He had a great sense of humour. From an early age he loved music and was very talented playing the accordion from age 8. Later he played guitar and loved singing country music. He sang with friend Walter Breitkreuz in earlier years in AB, and his Finlander friend, Jim Niemi in Salmon Arm. Singing on camping trips and family events with his daughters was a real joy to him. A big project that Gil became involved in was building the Canoe Creek Golf Couse. This project took about 2 years. He worked up the ground, leveling and seeding the course. His knowledge and work was really appreciated and Gil felt a lot of pride when the course was finally developed. He did enjoy golfing with friends and family over the years and with his “golfing buddies” each week. They would often have a beer together and rehash the game. Gil would also spend several weeks in the fall helping his brother, Dale, with the harvest in the Wetaskiwin area. There wasn’t a job that he couldn’t do and his family will miss his presence as they harvest the crops this year. Gil developed health problems spending some time in hospital, but still continued to be a busy man never refusing to help out the neighbours or take on a project. He had a farm sale in September of 2013. Gil and Lois bought lots downtown and built a new home. Gil still had to have his tractor so bought a small 5560 John Deere tractor with a rototiller and grasscutter. Even with his health deteriorating Gil seldom refused a job if someone phoned. He was a very tough and determined man. After January of this year he was diagnosed with blocked heart valves and it was too risky to operate with other mounting health problems. Gil was in and out of hospital many times. He passed away peacefully in Salmon Arm hospital on August 1st. Services were held at Elks Hall in Salmon Arm on August 6th and at Falun Hall in Alberta on August 11th. Gil had many friends and will be missed by people in the community. There has been a huge outpouring of love shown which is much appreciated by Lois and the family. The reponse after his death truly shows the heartfelt appreciation and respect for Gil.

MILLER, MARVIN STUART It is with profound sadness that Marvin’s family announces his sudden passing on August 14, 2014. Born November 30, 1950 in Salmon Arm, the son of Jack and Audrey Miller, Marvin is survived by his wife Sally, his sons Brian and Erik (Sheila), brother Kelly (Muriel), sister Kim (Pete), nieces and nephews, and too many friends to count. To say that he was well-loved feels flat in contrast to the reality; he was both respected and adored by those whose lives he touched. He made friends everywhere he went. He loved his family, he loved the outdoors, and he was the consummate good guy. We will miss him terribly. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Doctors Without Borders.

DR. CEDRIC LOW It is with great sadness that the family of Dr. Cedric Low announces his passing on August 18, 2014, at the age of 63, following a courageous battle with cancer. Cedric was born on April 23, 1951, in Uitenhage, South Africa.

After graduation, Cedric moved to Salmon Arm to practice dentistry and in 1981 he married his beloved wife Pam.
