Urinating in public has put a group of men in hot water with Sicamous residents and, potentially, the police. Sicamous RCMP Sgt. Scott West confirmed Monday that police are investigating a series of related incidents that occurred Thursday, April 16 on Main Street in the parking lot of the former True Hardware building. The investigation so far has revealed an unknown man or men were relieving themselves in a parking lot after stopping their vehicles, West says in a news release issued Monday, April 20. “Three people took exception to this and an argument ensued which developed into a physical altercation,” said West. “One witness captured a video of the altercation and police will be reviewing the video.” That video was filmed by Sicamous resident Brent Graf and is posted on his Facebook page. As of Monday afternoon, it had been viewed more than 126,000 times and shared more than 3,000 times. Graf was picking up his daughter at Eagle River Secondary when he saw the group of men urinating in the neighbouring lot. “I yelled at them because they were facing right at the school, they were all standing there with their wangs hanging out, and the kids were literally just walking out of school, all the young girls were just walking out,” said Graf. “So I yelled at them, I said, ‘Hey!’ And you’d think they would turn towards their trucks and be embarrassed. Instead they just See Video on page 2

Video identifies Alberta plates Continued from front stood there.” Graf says moments later, one of the students confronted the men, told them to “get out of here,” and this led to an altercation. “The one guy was yelling at the kids and stuff, and the one kid started going over and got a little closer and closer, telling him to… ‘get out of here, we don’t need that kind of stuff.’ And all of a sudden, the guy comes out of the truck and just hammered the kid one and jumped on him and then his buddies got out,” said Graf. “They slapped the one kid for sure, at least twice. “…There were six others there right away and they were all standing up for each other, telling these guys that’s just ignorant what you’re doing. And these guys could have left any time. They could have left before
this whole incident started. They preferred not to.” Eagle River principal Scott Anderson gleaned the same information from his investigation and confirmed a student was assaulted, but he says the student was not injured. “There was no injuries or anything like that and he was at school today, and a lot of the kids are talking it up and proud of him, as well as the other kids who came to his aid,” Anderson said last Friday. “On the one hand, I’m glad to see our students sort of standing up for what’s right and for our town… On the other hand, it’s not necessarily a safe thing to do. I’m glad to see they did it but I almost wouldn’t recommend it.” West advises that when verbal confrontation escalates, it is good practice to call the police to mediate and/or investigate.
Graf said it wasn’t until he called 911 that the men got into two pick-up trucks and left. The video clearly identifies Alberta licence plates on both vehicles. West says police will be following up with
“We’re in a fickle place where we have to cater to them... but we shouldn’t have to take abuse like that either.” -Brent Graf
will be held accountable. “I would like this to get back to their families and friends so they see what these guys were like, and go… ‘I know you and look what you did – that was ignorant,’” said Graf, recognizing Sicamous’ relationship with Albertans is not always amicable. “Maybe it will help curb the way people in Sicamous feel about the Albertans, because
the Albertans will curb it themselves and say, ‘you know what, if you’re going to go out and do that… we can understand why Sicamous maybe has a little bit of resentment towards you.’ “We’re in a fickle place where we have to cater to them because that’s how a lot of our businesses run, but we shouldn’t have to take abuse like that either. And that’s why I was so proud of the kids.”

Blaze destroys barn By Barb Brouwer
MaRKet news staff
A massive fire accompanied by several explosions levelled a Silver Creek barn that housed a legal marijuana grow operation and stored hay. But two adult residents, five fullgrown horses, a week-old filly, a donkey and several chickens were unharmed. Columbia Shuswap Regional Fire Chief Kenn Mount says the first call reporting a fully involved structure fire in the 1100 block of Salmon River Road was sounded at 9:11 p.m. Monday, April 20. Sixteen Silver Creek firefighters were on scene within 10 minutes and managed to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby structures. Firefighters, including a rehab team, police, ambulance and emergency social services were on scene for about four hours, he says. Mount explains firefighters had to deal with a downed power line that had been attached to the barn and waited 90 minutes for BC Hydro to arrive. “It’s a challenge, it limits what we can do,” he says. “The guys did a good job; it was a bit of a stubborn fire being a bigger-type farm structure with a known legal grow operation.” Mount says grow ops present complex issues because of massive elec-
trical systems and, in this case, added fuel in the form of hay, along with the marijuana plants and “other unknowns.” To deal with these complex fires, CSRD has developed a pre-incident plan gleaned from its own development services department. “We do our best to have some level of awareness be it a marina, gas station or legal grow operation,” he says. “We work with the bylaw inspection officer during the licensing process.” Mount says, in this case, there is nothing much left to investigate as the barn burned down to the foundation. As to the cause, he says, “it’s highly possible it’s related to the function of the building.” Mount says there is no clear indication of who was operating the grow op – the owner or the tenant. Meanwhile, tenant Erik Backstrom says he and his wife Ashley were watching TV when they noticed the glow on their wall and rushed out to see the barn engulfed and neighbours already leading the horses to a safe paddock. “The community really saved it; they couldn’t save the barn but they saved the fire from spreading,” he said. Anyone who can donate or spare a bale or two until the couple can get back on their feet, may call Backstrom at 604-754-5756.

Parties quibble over budget implications Opinions are split on Canada’s financial plan. Finance Minister Joe Oliver presented the Conservative government’s 2015 budget in the House of Commons Tuesday. “It’s another indication that we believe in lower taxes and Canadians are better off with more money in their pocket to spend in the economy,” said Colin Mayes, OkanaganShuswap MP. While some critics claim the budget only benefits the wealthy and not middle-class families, Mayes disagrees. “When you look at the tax credit for sports activities and the child care credit, Canadian families have $6,600 in their pocket,” he said. The budget calls for tax free savings accounts to be hiked to $10,000 per taxpayer annually. “It helps people put money away to look forward to retirement,”
said Mayes. However, opposition to the budget is strong. “The Conservatives’ so-called balanced budget was achieved by irresponsibly dipping into the contingency fund, selling public General Motors shares at a loss and making aggressively optimistic estimates about the recovery of oil prices,” said Cindy Derkaz, Liberal candidate. “After a month of delay, Stephen Harper has failed to present a credible budget or a credible plan to grow incomes and create quality job opportunities for the residents of North Okanagan-Shuswap.” Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate, believes the budget is typical of the Conservatives. “It’s creating a means for income inequality to increase,” she said. Gingras says the tax free savings account and other measures doesn’t conform with reality. “The Conservatives’
10 to choose from!
idea of who the average Canadian is, is off base. They are putting money in the pockets of the wealthiest Canadians,” she said. “They are not providing high-quality child care. Household debt is higher than ever in Canada.” Dave Smith, Green candidate, says he found aspects of the budget “disturbing.” “It calls for increased
spending on expanding war to Syria, and increasing funding to security at home. Within a balanced budget, this can only steal from education, hospitals and other social programs,” he said. “It does not mention climate change and our much needed transition to renewables. Instead, the budget offers more tax credits to fracking and LNG.”

Knife attack under investigation By Roger Knox
MARKET NEWS STAFF
An alleged longtime grudge may be the reason behind an Enderby assault Wednesday. RCMP say a 59-yearold Salmon Arm man suffered a laceration after being assaulted in the 800 block of George Avenue shortly before 4 p.m. “Indications are a group of men had
been drinking at a bar and decided to follow one man after he left the bar,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “One man was assaulted. He was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital for treatment of his laceration.” Molendyk said the investigation revealed Wednesday’s assault may have had something to do with an incident 15 to 20 years
earlier involving a baseball bat. A 48-year-old Armstrong man walked over to the nearby Enderby RCMP detachment and turned himself into police. He also turned over a knife. The man was held in custody and could be facing charges in connection with the incident which remains under investigation.

Public shaming well deserved
Friday, April 24, 2015 Shuswap Market News
OPINION
M
orons. There are other, more colourful (and unprintable) words being used around Sicamous to describe the group of men resident Brent Graf captured on video last Thursday afternoon while picking his daughter up from Eagle River Secondary. According to Graf and other witnesses, the men parked next to the high school on Main Street, got out of their pickup trucks (with Alberta plates) and proceeded to urinate in public – just as students were leaving the school for home. What’s worse, they actually stuck around to defend their actions – as though it was their right. One student spoke up to the men, condemning their utterly disrespectful behaviour. An altercation ensued and Graf says one of the men struck the student. Graf says the men had clearly been consuming alcohol. So, lets add up the possible points against: public urination/indecency; assaulting a minor; public intoxication and maybe even impaired operation of a motor vehicle. (Police are currently investigating, and have yet to decide on what charges will be pursued.) Whether or not any or all the men involved were from Alberta was unknown at press time. However, it’s unlikely Graf’s video, which clearly identifies two Alberta licence plates, has done anything to improve the existing love/tolerate relationship many locals have for our Albertan guests. As always, it’s a few bad apples who are responsible for a sour impression. Or, in this case, a few morons, who we hope are made an example of in whichever community they hail from.

Never too late to start something new When most people think of whittling, they more often than not come up with a mental image of an old man sitting on a rustic front porch, his trusty Shrade pocket knife in hand, whistling to himself while cutting away on a piece of wood. Such imagery might remind some of simpler, more peaceful times. On the other hand, whittling is also considered by many to be as much of an art form as it is a simple craft. I recall trying to carve a whistle out of a stick when I was a kid in Boy Scouts. I left the scouting movement before I was able to finish my project and, subsequently, was never able to earn my wood-working badge. So be it. Last week, I came across a group of whittlers at an outdoor craft show. Not only was I fascinated with the miniature pieces of art they were producing, I was also impressed with the level of satisfaction they seemed to derive from showing off their objets d’art to each and everyone who walked by. As it was explained to me,
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray a fair amount of whittling is indeed done with a simple pocket knife. There are also any number of fairly specialized carving knives and tools, such as saws, chisels and awls that are used by more skilled whittlers. It was also pointed out that another tool often over looked in whittling, is the lead pencil. It is used before any cuts are made and enables a whittler to not only consider various different ideas and approaches to their project, but can also help develop an overall picture of what the piece will look like when completed. In talking with some of the whittlers, it was also quickly pointed out that
safety is of extreme importance when using sharp tools. “Tools make no distinction between wood or flesh,” one fellow said. “The first rule of safety, when it comes to whittling, is to keep your fingers, or any other body parts, away from the cutting edge of your tools.” It was obvious, just from watching and listening, that all of the whittlers at the craft show took a great pride of ownership when it came to their tools. As was explained, whittling tools are a very personal thing. They need to be stored with sharp edges wrapped and protected. Even the salt in the sweat from your hands can cause steel to pit and rust. Sharpening is also important to the maintenance of tools and the safety of the person using them. The level of your sharpened edge is very important. If it’s too sharp, the steel will become brittle and break off. If its cutting edge is too blunt, the tool will be too dull to work with. Apparently experienced
whittlers have learned to tuck their elbows into their sides to reduce the amount of movement of the blade. The safest way to whittle is to simply make sure to not point a knife at yourself. The type of material you use to whittle on will depend on your project. Soft wood, such as pine, can be carved more easily but lacks the ability to hold detail. Hardwoods such as ash, oak or maple are very difficult to carve but hold finer detail. While I may not be much of a joiner of groups or organizations, I could certainly see myself sitting out on the porch up at the cabin, whiling away the hours whittling away on a piece of wood. Of course, I would have to start with something relatively simple like a wooden fish plug before taking on anything like a slithering snake, complete with chainlined body. Maybe I could even try to complete my wood-working badge project. It’s probably too late though. But then again, it’s never too late to start something new.

Protecting our children from pornographers
From the hill Colin Mayes Our government is committed to making our streets and communities safe by cracking down on predators that abuse and exploit children. With the recent introduction of Bill C-26, our government is proposing nine new key measures to better protect our children from a range of sexual offences, including child pornography, while ensuring that offenders receive prison sentences that better reflect the serious nature of these offences. Every day in Canada, children are the victims of sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse causes unimaginable trauma to the lives of children, and often carries profound effects into adulthood and throughout an individual’s life. In Canada, more than 3,900 sexual violations against children were reported to police in 2012 – an increase of six per cent from 2010. Child sexual exploitation is unacceptable and your government is doing more to deter
and punish offenders who exploit and harm children. This bill will require those convicted of contact child sexual offences against multiple children to serve their sentences consecutively (one after another) and this would also apply to those convicted of child pornography offences. The bill will increase maximum and minimum prison sentences for certain child sexual offences and increase penalties for those who violate conditions of supervision orders. The bill will also ensure that a crime committed while on house arrest, parole, statutory release or unescorted temporary absence, is an aggravating factor at sentencing of the offender. The Bill will ensure spousal testimony is available in child pornography cases and require registered sex of-
fenders to report details regarding travel abroad. This reform would also allow officials responsible for the National Sex Offender Registry and the Canada Border Services Agency to share information regarding certain registered sex offenders. This bill would also establish a publicly accessible database of high-risk child sex offenders who have been subject of public notification in other jurisdictions to increase the safety of our communities. In previous reforms, our government has increased the age of sexual consent from 14 to 16, established mandatory reporting of child pornography by Internet service providers, strengthened the sex offender registry and strengthened the sentencing and monitoring of dangerous offenders with mandatory sen-

SOUTH SHUSWAP Sign a reflection of support Have you or anyone you know had a medical emergency where you called 911 and the South Shuswap First Responders (SSFR) attended prior to BC Ambulance? The SSFR is a nonprofit volunteer organization that was established in October 2000 by a number of people in the Sorrento/ Blind Bay area. South Shuswap Responders hold EMA First Responder Level
3 licences with CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) certification. First responders are dedicated volunteers who live in the area and donate countless hours, energy and personal resources to make a difference to area residents. Not only do first responders not get paid to provide this service, their call volume has steadily increased from 156 calls in 2001
to 264 in 2014. To outfit each responder with the necessary medical equipment and reflective safety clothing required to provide essential medical treatment in the community costs about $5,500. South Shuswap Responders rely on grants and donations in order operate safely. Support the SSFR by purchasing reflective house number signs and placing
them at the entrance to your property, or on your home if you are at roadside. House numbers should be clearly visible both day and night so first responders don’t waste critical minutes trying to locate you. If they can’t find you, they can’t help you, and neither can BC ambulance. Minutes count when your loved one has a medical emergency;
don’t wait for that emergency to support your SSFR. Contact Tom or Debbie Edwards at 250-675-3355 to order your sign. Donations are tax deductible and much appreciated. Send them to South Shuswap First Responders, Box 555, Sorrento, V0E 2W0.

Raising funds for trails
*

By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
You too can be a trailblazer – and you don’t even have to go outside. The Shuswap Trail Alliance has launched a Love Your Trails fundraiser to build and maintain more trails – metre by metre. The annual Trail Party in February raised $38,000, and the alliance is hoping to almost double the fundraising total to $75,000. Money raised would be used for 2015 trail projects and would allow the hiring of a stewardship co-ordinator. “There are many opportunities with schools, companies and other stakeholders who are taking care of the trails, to do more building and maintenance,” says Trail Alliance chair Winston Pain. “If we had someone to provide direct support to all the stewardship work going on, we could engage the region on a more focused basis.” Since 2006, the trail alliance has completed 170 Greenway Trail projects, 11 signature trail systems, more than 90 regional trails and just over 95 kilometres of new trail. “Even if you value it at $18 a metre, the asset value is over $1.7 million in amenities,” executive director Phil McIntyre-Paul says. “Last year, 513 volunteers worked on 54 trail events and 60 per cent were young people.” While no offer of help is turned down, McIntyre-Paul and the board are often

What to know about bladder cancer In a given year, the National Cancer Institute estimates that more than 70,000 Americans will be diagnosed with bladder cancer, while the Canadian Cancer Society estimates than slightly less than 8,000 Canadians will learn they have bladder cancer this year. Despite its prevalence, bladder cancer remains a mystery to many people. But as is true of many cases of cancer, early detection of bladder cancer increases the chances that treatment will prove successful. So while bladder cancer might not be a hot topic, knowing its risk factors and symptoms increases the likelihood of early detection and successful treatment. Where is the bladder, and what does it do? The bladder is a hollow, balloon-shaped organ found in the lower abdomen. The bladder collects and stores urine made by the kidneys, which pass urine to the bladder. When the bladder is full, the muscles lining the bladder wall tighten and urine leaves the body. The bladder wall has three layers. The inner layer of the bladder is also known as the lining. The transitional cells along the lining surface stretch as the bladder fills up with
Men and women who feel they are exhibiting the symptoms of bladder cancer should consult their physician immediately. urine, and these cells shrink when the bladder is emptied. Nearly all bladder cancers start in the lining. The middle layer of the bladder wall is muscle tissue, which will squeeze urine out of the body when the bladder is full. The outer layer covers the bladder, and it is made up of fat, fibrous tissue and blood vessels. What are the risk factors for bladder cancer? It’s important to note that a risk factor is something that may increase the chance of getting a disease. But the presence of a risk factor does not guarantee a person will get a disease. That said, studies have shown that there are several risk factors for bladder cancer. Those risk factors include the following: * Smoking: The NCI and the Canadian Cancer Society note that smoking is the most
common risk factor for bladder cancer. The tars and chemicals from tobacco smoke pass from the lungs into the bloodstream and then into the urine. That urine collects in the bladder. People who smoke for many years have a higher risk than nonsmokers or those who smoke for a short time. * Exposure to chemicals: The presence of cancer-causing chemicals in the workplace increases an individual’s risk for bladder cancer. Men and women who work in the dye, rubber, chemical, metal, textile, and leather industries may be especially at risk. The NCI notes that hairdressers, printers, machinists, painters, and truck drivers are also at risk. * Personal history: Men and women who have already had bladder cancer have an in-
creased risk of getting it again. * Medication and treatment: Men and women with cancer who have been treated with cyclophosphamide, a drug used to treat many different types of cancer, may be at increased risk of developing bladder cancer. In addition, people who have had radiation therapy to the abdomen or pelvis may also be at increased risk. * Arsenic: A poison that increases the risk of bladder cancer, arsenic can be found in drinking water. Developed countries may have safety measures that limit arsenic levels in drinking water, but those same measures might not be in place overseas, particularly in less developed countries. Are there symptoms of bladder cancer? Just like with risk factors, a person may exhibit the symptoms of bladder cancer but not have the disease. In fact, these symptoms might be indicative of another disease or condition entirely. As a result, it’s important for men and women to consult their physician should any of the following symptoms appear. * Blood in the urine that makes urine appear rusty or dark red
* Feeling an urgent need to empty the bladder * Having to empty your bladder more often than usual * Feeling the need to empty the bladder without results * Needing to strain when emptying the bladder * Painful emptying of the bladder How is bladder cancer diagnosed? If your doctor recognizes symptoms of bladder cancer, he or she will try to understand what’s causing the problem. That might be as simple as a physical exam, but it may also involve one or more of the following tests. * Urine test: Patients will supply a urine sample, which will then be checked for blood, cancer cells and other potential indicators of the disease. * Cystoscopy: The doctor will use a thin, lighted tube known as a cystoscope to look directly into the bladder. The cystoscope will be inserted into the bladder through the urethra, so the procedure can be painful and may require local anesthesia. * Biopsy: A cystoscope can remove tissue samples, and this procedure is known as a biopsy. Once the tissue
samples have successfully been removed, a pathologist will examine them to determine if cancer is present. The presence of bladder cancer symptoms are not always
indicative of bladder cancer. However, the presence of such symptoms is something men and women should immediately discuss with their physicians.

ers is to have a clear view of your yard at all times. A motiondetector spotlight is a great option and only uses electricity when required. That way, you can sleep with peace of mind without wasting energy. FOR PRACTICALITY When it comes time to plan the lighting for outdoor areas, think about how you use these places once the sun goes down.
This will enable you to choose the best location for the one or two main lights that will illuminate your evening activities. The key is to ensure good visibility for your activities without spoiling the magic of the evening with too much bright light.
FOR THE LOOK Adding extra lights can bring new life to your outdoor decor. Be creative: garlands of lanterns add sparkle to deck railings, and a bundle of little Christmas-type lights in an empty Mason jar or wine bottle create a striking table centerpiece. It’s easy to create a
magical atmosphere for your evenings under the stars with a little imagination and some objects you already have on hand. One last tip: Make sure you always buy lighting products specifically designed for outdoor use in order to avoid damage or electrocution.

My name is Buddy. I am 10 months old and have just recently discovered that there is more to life then 4 walls and door. The first 9 months of my life were spent in a bedroom. I was rescued by some lovely ladies and brought to the SPCA in Salmon Arm. Everything is so new and exciting to me! I love the grass and to chase these things I believe are called Birds. Sometimes I get myself into trouble tho as I was not taught manners as a puppy. I love other dogs tho, cats not so much. I really like children as well, although sometimes I get too excited and jump on them. Please come and visit me at the Shuswap SPCA in Salmon Arm.

Pampering your yard Has winter been hard on your lawn? Don’t panic. The first thing to remember is not to rush outside and start work on the grass when the ground is still soaking wet. The time to get out the leaf rake and pick up all the debris is when you can walk on the grass without sinking in. Make the most of a beautiful day to remove any protective covering from your trees and shrubs. Cut back dead and damaged branches, being careful
not to damage the buds. Remove annuals, prune perennials and clean your rockeries if you didn’t get around to doing these chores last fall. Go gently, taking care not to trample on perennials that are already beginning to show. Add compost (and some soil, if necessary), and cover your beds with a good layer of mulch. You may have noticed that field mice or other rodents have made furrows across your lawn. There may also be
patches of grass that are completely dried out. To ensure that weeds don’t take over all the bare spots, aerate your lawn and sow grass seed as soon as possible. A tip: use quality seed. Better to pay a little more than end up with a bag of seed that may contain weeds. No time to take care of yard work in the spring? Hire a freelance gardener; he or she will love pampering your yard for you.
Dare to THINK PINK Pink? Yes, this colour is hot in 2015. It hasn’t been on the home decor charts for quite a while, but now we’re all catching up. Are you daring enough to try it? Of course, there’s no question of painting your walls bright pink. The idea is to use it to add pep, femininity and even a touch of daring to your home. Why not add a pink pillow to your white sofa or put a fuchsia bench in your kitchen? You could also hang pink patterned wallpaper in your front hall or your bathroom. You want a warm and modern decor? Choose a mix of pale pink, white and copper, and Bob’s your uncle. You’d rather have a glamorous and sophisticated look? Combine pink with black. You’d like an elegant touch? Add some grey. The trend is towards warm and glamourous pinks that are great for any room as long as you use it with moderation. Be daring and try different shades. Go back to your childhood with candy pink; use sugared almond pink
to create a cozy room that cries out “TLC.” Awaken your taste buds with pink sorbet, or add a touch of character to your home with fuchsia. If you’re looking for a colour that brings optimism, peace and the joy of living into your home, then look no further: pink is perfect.

Simple and effective STORAGE SOLUTIONS You need more space? It feels as though you never fi nish tidying up? What you need are some new storage solutions. There are loads of ways to reorganize your closets, including the addition of removable wire shelves or opting for hanging rods and customized shelves. Your bed can also be a handy storage tool. If you’re buying a new bed, choose one with integrated drawers or simply use the space under your bed to store clearly identified boxes. If you’re desperate for more space, you could also opt for a Murphy bed that can be transformed into a desk during the day. Free up your nightstands by opting for pendant lights. Keep things tidy with a coat rack in your front hall and a remote control orga-

your spices? Why not install a spice rack in one of your kitchen cabinets instead of leaving the bottles or bags out on the counter? Store your bathroom products in attractive containers and replace the towel bar with hooks so that you can hang more towels without taking up more space. Follow these tips, and you’ll no longer waste time searching for lost items and feeling discouraged because your home is in a constant mess.
Ingenuity should be your motto where storage is concerned.

City postpones transit shelter installation MARKET NEWS STAFF
The final 2014 city budget saw a decrease in funds spent on transit shelters. Chief financial of-
ficer Monica Dalziel told council that installation of a bus shelter at the former JL Jackson site was postponed because of all the work ongoing there, meaning the actual amount
spent was $9,000 under budget. Although the city doesn’t generally carry forward the funds saved from one year to the next, staff said there is enough money to do

three shelters instead of two in the 2015 budget. One of those will be at the former Jackson site. The unused $9,000 was redirected to ice and snow control expenditures.
This April when you buy a daffodil pin, you’re supporting Canadians living with cancer and helping us fund research to fight all cancers for all Canadians in all communities.

CHASE Officer ‘meddles’ with witness By Tim Petruk

and was one of the investigators dispatched to the wreckage of the 2010 crash. During his crossexamination of Harry,
Leon Reinbrecht defence lawyer Joe Doyle found out the officer placed a phone call on Wednesday to a Canadian Coast Guard supervisor to inquire
about a defence witness. Justin Beaumont is an employee of the Canadian Coast Guard and is also an expert in marine accident reconstruction. He has been retained by Reinbrecht’s defence team to give expert evidence later in the trial. Harry was asked during cross-examination why he phoned the Coast Guard. “In his [Harry’s] view, Mr. Beaumont owed a duty of loyalty to the Crown and should not be testifying in opposition to the Crown,” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan said. “I will say, on it’s
face, it is concerning.” Donegan ordered Harry to disclose summaries of all conversations he has had about Beaumont, as well as all materials in the possession of the RCMP’s West Coast Marine Service section in relation to the Shuswap Lake boat crash. In court, Doyle raised the prospect of having all of Harry’s evidence tossed depending on what comes to light. The trial was slated to resume on April 22 to give lawyers enough time to comb through the new disclosure.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The B.C. Supreme Court trial of a man accused of recklessly driving his speedboat into a houseboat on Shuswap Lake in 2010 has ground to a halt to allow lawyers to investigate claims a police officer meddled this week in the defence case out of “loyalty to the Crown” –– something the judge called “concerning.” Leon Reinbrecht’s trial on one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm has been ongoing since early February. Ken Brown was killed in a July 3, 2010 collision on Shuswap Lake following a postCanada Day fireworks display. Brown was at the helm of a 14-metre houseboat when it was struck nearly straighton by a speedboat. RCMP Cpl. Richard Harry spent three days this week giving evidence for the Crown. He is an expert in marine-vessel collisions

Yard burn gets away
n The Chase Volunteer Fire Department was holding their fundraising car wash on Saturday, April 18 when firefighters had to respond to a call. A backyard burn spread, igniting a row of cedar bushes. It also scorched a small utility trailer and started a few small spot fires in neighbouring yards. A volunteer fire crew soaks down the area, making sure the fire was extinguished and stopping it from spreading farther.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has enacted a new notice enforcement bylaw – so residents will know how much and how long they have to pay. The new bylaw sets out penalties as well as the period for paying or disputing bylaw notices. The bylaw also allows for a disputeadjudication system to resolve disputes in relation to tickets issued. The new system is intended to resolve bylaw violations and notice disputes in a simple, cost-effective manner, states a regional district press release. The new bylaw notice dispute adjudication system will improve efficiencies as well as deliver a streamlined process to the public. When a bylaw notice is received, the recipient will have 30 days to either pay the fine or dispute it without having to go through the provincial court system. An independent adjudicator will hear the

Time for Salmon Arm to get active
MAYOR’S MESSAGE Nancy Cooper Interior Health has begun a Healthy Communities initiative and we understand that diet and exercise contribute to good health. As for exercise, there are many opportunities coming up in the next few months that encourage us to get outdoors and move, have fun, meet friends or make new ones. Salmon Arm has parks, playgrounds, a spray park, trails, sidewalks, McGuire Lake, the foreshore, wharf and Canoe Beach to enjoy. Youth soccer is start-
ing and I have heard teams are out playing on the baseball diamonds. Organized activities include; Wild Soles trail running series for all ages. These events will you get out into city parks April 20 to 27 and May 4 to 11. Then May is Bicycle Month with many events planned for a family ride downtown, a bike to work week, the Salty Dog, free concerts and more. No excuses for not getting on your bike. These events are for ages three to 93. June is Shuswap Paddle Month, again with a series of events and activities for all ages. Special Wednesday paddles for the public, outrigger canoe and small non-motorized boat races and Paddle the Bay Day. Check the Downtown Salmon Arm website for these

and other events. Ladies, check out Lady Striders for their list of walking, hiking, and biking trips, some conclude with coffee or breakfast. If none of these events spark your interest, then go for a walk around the block or mow your lawn (OK you can skip this one) but do what you enjoy and take a family member or friend.
You will feel good and contribute to your own good health. Your body will thank you. Now, if nothing else interests you, perhaps you could just stroll on over to your neighbour’s house for coffee and tell them the mayor sent you. Enjoy your spring!

Migrant deaths ‘half a Titanic’ GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer The first thing to do, if you want to cut the number of refugees from Africa and the Middle East dying while trying to cross the Mediterranean, is to drop leaflets all along the Libyan coast teaching them about ship stability. Don’t all rush to one side when you spot a ship that might save you, the pamphlets will say, because your boat will capsize and you will drown. That’s what happened last weekend off the Libyan coast, where a boat filled with at least 700 refugees overturned when the people aboard spotted a Portuguese freighter and tried to attract its attention. (One survivor says there were 950 people aboard, including those locked below decks. ) At least 650 people died – half a Titanic’s worth of casualties – although the boat in question was only 20 metres (70 ft.) long. Only 28 people were saved. So the second thing to do is to lock the European Union’s foreign ministers into a room and refuse to let them have caviar and champagne until they agree to do something about the silent massacre in
the Mediterranean. Something quite effective was being done until late last year, but they deliberately stopped it. Until late last year the Italian navy (praise be upon it) was running an operation called Mare Nostrum that went all the way to the edge of Libya’s territorial waters to pluck refugees from the sea. The operation cost 9.5 million euros a month ($10.3 million), but it rescued 100,000 people from leaking boats or the open sea. More than half of the 170,000 refugees who landed in Italy had cause to thank the Italian navy, and only one in a hundred died. The number of refugees arriving in Italy each month is around the same this year, maybe a little higher – but 10 times as many people are dying on the way. That is because the European Union’s governments, rather than sharing the cost of the Mare Nostrum project, asked Italy to shut it down and substituted their own “Triton” operation. Except that “Triton” is in no way an adequate substitute. It only gets a third of funding Mare Nostrum had, and it is only supposed to operate in Italy’s coastal waters, not farther out where most of the refugee boats capsize or founder. Even this year, with the Italian navy theoretically excused from duty, it has saved twice as many people as the pathetic “Triton” operation. Which, by the
Going on now
way, was intended to be pathetic. The argument the European governments made was that if you didn’t give the refugees the hope that they would be saved by the Italian navy, fewer of them would come. Right, so if you’re fleeing the civil war in Syria or the ghastly dictatorship in Eritrea, and you learn that the danger of dying on a Mediterranean crossing has gone up from one percent to 10 percent, you’re going to decide to stay in wartorn Libya instead? Were the European governments lying to themselves, or just to everybody else? The latter, almost certainly. They were under pressure at home to stop the flow of migrants, they didn’t want to share the burden of saving them with the admirable Italians, but they couldn’t just say “Let them drown.” So they came up with that preposterous argument about deterring the migrants by making the crossing more dangerous, and shut Mare
Nostrum down. “In many countries in Europe at the moment,” said Laurens Jolles, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) representative in Italy, “the (political) dialogue and the rhetoric is quite extreme and very irresponsible.... It’s a fear of foreigners..., but it is being exploited for populist or political reasons, especially in election periods.” Too true. Take, for example, Katie Hopkins, columnist for The Sun, a down-market right-wing British red-top (tabloid newspaper) owned by the estimable Rupert Murdoch. Last Friday, in an article headlined “Rescue boats? I’d use gunships to stop migrants,” she wrote: “NO, I don’t care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don’t care.” Saying that sort of thing is how she earns her living, but it also expresses the true

When the UNHCR appealed to the EU to resettle 130,000 Syrian refugees, Germany said it would take 30,000, Sweden (with a 10th of Germany’s population) took 2,700 – and the other 26 EU states only took 5,438 between them.

EVAN BUHLER/MARKET NEWS
n Hunter Cameron listens to a coach’s instructions during the opening day of spring Shuswap Youth Soccer on Saturday, April 18.
A spirited effort by the Salmon Arm Secondary junior rugby team lifted the Golds over Vernon Secondary 17-7 at Jackson Field last Tuesday evening, April 14. A Tyler Chartier pass set up the Golds’ first try of the match by Alex Muir, who later made the conversion for an additional two points giving SAS an early seven-point lead. A bit of finesse and flair led to the Golds’ second try of the game, scored by Bladen Stephens. The scoring play was set up by Eric Bruce and Tyson Qiodravu.
A stronger and more physical Vernon side fought back and scored a try and conversion, making the score 12-5. The Golds were able to outpace the Panthers and Noah Dies put the nail in the coffin with Salmon Arm’s third try of the game. The Junior and Senior Golds rugby teams play at the SASCU Sports Fields at Little Mountain starting at 4 p.m. this Friday, April 24.

When men and women shop locally, they are putting money back into their local communities. Local small businesses may be owned by your neighbors, and it can be comforting to know that your shopping dollars are going to support a neighbor instead of a large corporation. Local businesses also employ your neighbors, so shopping local can strengthen the local economy by creating jobs that may not exist if you and members of your community fail to support local small businesses.

Norb and Carolyn shared a love of music and dancing, and Norb also enjoyed watching football with a box of apples by his side. More than anything he was very social and really loved a good conversation. After retirement Norb could often be spotted cycling or walking to a favorite coffee shop.

In 1958, Jessie and Don finally settled in Sardis where they added another 4 boys to the family before moving to Salmon Arm in 1979.

The family would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Aitchison for her extra special care, and also to the ‘too numerous to count’ staff at Hillside Village, for their kindness and for treating our mom like family.

Mae passed away in Vancouver General Hospital, with family present, on April 2, 2015, following a brain aneurysm. Mae was born on a farm near Wolseley, Saskatchewan on October 6, 1927, the oldest of five siblings and was one of many rural Saskatchewan students that used ‘horse’ power instead of a bus to get to school. Mae graduated from Wolseley High School in 1946 and after attending Balfour Tech in Regina, entered the workforce. In 1953, accompanied by sister Joy, Mae came to Kelowna to work for the Provincial Government. Here Mae met and married Tilman Nahm, the evening operator at Canadian National Telegraphs for many years. They married in June 1955, buying orchards in the Benvoulin area of Kelowna, growing fruit until 1988. In 1989 they moved north to Grindrod to achieve their lifelong dream of owning a ranch. They developed their hobby ranch on the banks of the Shuswap River in a beautiful setting that was Mae’s Happy Home until her death. In these lovely surroundings, Mae enjoyed nature, feeding wild birds, gardening and growing and preserving an amazing bounty of fruits, vegetables, nuts and berries. Mae is survived by her lifelong partner and very best friend, Tilman; daughter Marianne (Daryl Calder) of Cranbrook, son Karl (Monica) of Grindrod, son Ken of Salmon Arm, daughter Alison (Bill Gemmill) of Mission, grandchildren Keegan, Brendon, Tyrell and Risa Gemmill and Kelvin and Blair Nahm, and great granddaughter, Harper Gemmill. She is also survived by her four siblings, Joy Mackay (Peter) of Aldergrove, Lorna Scott (Alan, deceased) of Wolseley, Leo Lander (Shirley) of Regina and Bill Lander (Dorene) of Westbank and brother-in-law Gerry Nahm (Irene) of Vernon and many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. There will be no funeral service at Mae’s request. A private family gathering will be held at a later date. The family expresses their sincere appreciation to all the doctors, nurses, care workers, and ground and air ambulance personnel for their outstanding care and comfort of Mae. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in Mae’s honour may do so by giving to Nature Trust of BC, #260, 1000 Roosevelt Crescent, North Vancouver, BC V7P 3R4; or Enderby Food Bank, C/O St. Andrews Church, 1110 Belvedere St., Enderby, BC V0E 1V0, or a charity of your choice. Online condolences can be sent through Mae’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm. Rest in Peace Dear Mae

In her teen years she worked at the apple packing plant. Audrey later met Lloyd and they married August 4, 1948. She and Lloyd raised their five children at the same homestead as she was raised on. Audrey was an employee of Sears Canada, where she made life long friends. Audrey was a fabulous cake decorator and enjoyed doing birthday cakes for family and friends; her passion though was creating masterpiece wedding cakes. Audrey loved travelling the world and enjoyed meeting people. She also loved when her children came home for visits and especially when there were get togethers with family and friends. Tuesdays and Fridays found her faithfully enjoying coffee or lunches with her girlfriends until her move to Calgary. Audrey was a strong woman always ready for an adventure: and so we will rejoice her life for it was a good life, at an Open House Sunday April 26, 2015 from 11:00am to 2:00pm at Fischer’s Funeral Services, 4060 1st Ave. SW, Salmon Arm.
