Sicamous drops Canada Day fireworks Switch: Council split over choice to fund event on the August long weekend.

By Lachlan Labere

marKeT NeWs sTaff

Shuswap residents will have fewer places to catch Canada Day fireworks now that Sicamous council has decided to move the annual fireworks display to the August long weekend.

The decision was a result of a three-way split in council when voting on a motion to hold fireworks on

July 1. Couns. Fred Busch, Charlotte Hutchinson and Joan Thomson were in favour; Couns. Don Richardson, Terry Rysz and Mayor Darrell Trouton were against.

According to the Local Government Act, when the number of votes, including the vote of the person presiding, are equal, the motion is defeated.

And so, the fireworks display will be held on the B.C. Day long week-

end at the beginning of August, as it was last summer when the Canada Day event had to be postponed on account of flooding.

While Salmon Arm hosts a wellattended children’s festival during the daytime, the city has not had Canada Day fireworks for many years, with many city residents travelling to Sicamous, Enderby or Blind Bay for their nighttime events.

Prior to council’s decision, two surveys were conducted on the idea of permanently moving the fireworks display to August. The first was conducted by the Sicamous chamber. Of the 30 per cent of chamber members who responded, 70 per cent favoured the move, and 27 per cent asked that fireworks be See August on page 2

August fireworks spread out celebrations Continued from front kept on Canada Day. In the second survey, conducted by the district, 66 of the respondents voted to keep fireworks on Canada Day, while 60 wanted them moved to August.

Though the result of council’s vote may be indisputable, Busch, Hutchinson and Thomson debated its necessity in the first place.

“It was never my understanding by having the fireworks last year on the August long weekend that this was now going to stay that way…,” commented Busch. “We couldn’t have them last year because the park was partially flooded, and it was going to be inconvenient for people to come and watch it. But there was never any motion made that now the fireworks will forever and a day be on the August long weekend.”

Trouton explained how on Canada Day,

Sicamous competes with the South Shuswap and Canada Day celebrations in Blind Bay, as well as events in Chase and Enderby.

“Long story short, they felt that us leaving fireworks on the August long weekend would be an opportunity for the neighbouring communities to partake in our fireworks, because they’re not on the same date,” said Trouton.

Another benefit of having the fireworks in August, Trouton explained, is that Sicamous would have the undivided support of TOTA. “Having fireworks (in August), we’re looking at a parade and bringing back Moose Mouse Days, and looking at having a large ball tournament as well as other events,” he said.

“All in all, the opportunity is TOTA and the Shuswap Tourism association – there aren’t any big events that weekend, and they now have an opportunity to

showcase Sicamous to Western Canada basically on our behalf, because we’re not necessarily competing with anybody else on that weekend.”

This argument did not sit well with Busch, who argued the Canada Day fireworks display wasn’t originally intended for economic gain, but to be a celebration by and for the community.

In their defence, Busch and Thomson raised the result of the district survey. But Trouton argued that even with the surveys, council still “did not have the community’s support in moving the fireworks back to Canada Day.” “I feel that we have a special-interest group or small-interest group that is trying to speak louder, but I think in general, we represent the community at large as council up here…,” said Trouton.

Busch countered with his own assertion

that another special-interest group is pushing to have the fireworks show in August – local businesses.

“There has not been one person who has talked to me who is in favour of having it on the August long weekend,” said Busch.

Trouton later argued, however, that though the August long weekend may be busy, local businesses are not. “...But if you walk up and down our street, there’s a tremendous amount of other, smaller businesses that (need) as many people in our short, summer opportunity time to make a go of it in our community,” said Trouton.

ShuSwap Residents anxious about air quality

Emissions: Company following process.

By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

A Tappen company’s request to increase their emissions from burning explosives waste has sparked protest in the valley.

Tappen Valley Road resident Emilie Aeyelts was alarmed when she read an environmental protection notice in the May 15 issue of the Salmon Arm Observer.

The notice is an application to the Ministry of Environment (MOE)

by Orica Canada Inc. to amend the maximum rate of discharge of air emissions from the open burning of waste explosives and other explosive-contaminated materials from 1,000 kilograms per month to 6,000 kilograms per month.

“They say it is contaminated explosive waste,” says Aeyelts.

“I may be just a lay person, but that sounds pretty darn awful to me.”

In a May 27 email, MOE describes the material as being packaging and residual detonation cord.

“The synthetic cord is impregnated with the explosive PETN (Pentaerythritrol tetranite),” reads the email, noting the material for burning includes floor sweepings, and other materials such as cloths which may be contaminated with trace amounts of explosive. “The federal

James murray/market news

n Warner and Emilie Aeyelts are concerned about additional explosive debris being burned at the Orica Canada facility located near their home in Tappen. government prohibits these waste products from being disposed of in a landfill, as they contain traces of the explosive. Nor, for the same reason, can they be burned in an enclosed incinerator.”

The pollutants of concern are the chemicals associated with the combustion of the synthetic cord and explosive residue, in particular polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

But MOE notes, given the short duration of the current burns (20 to 30 minutes) and the requirements for when the company may burn, the effects of particulate matter are negligible.

MOE says the ministry’s Environmental Protection Division, and the BC Conservation Officer Service are responsible for site inspections and enforcement of the permit.

Because Orica’s appli-

cation is significant, it will be treated as a new application.

“The process includes requirements for the company to provide detailed information about what they plan to incinerate and how they plan to mitigate the effect on the environment,” says the email. “The company is also required to consult with the community and submit a report to the Ministry of Environment with their application package that details how they consulted, what they heard and how they addressed those comments in their application.”

Speaking from an airport in Toronto Monday, Junior Perry, site superintendent of the Tappen plant, says “Orica wants to be very good neighbours and we are following the protocol laid out by the MOE and will do our best to address any concerns.”

SilverBacks owners on board

By Martha Wickett

market news staff

Signed, sealed and delivered.

The Salmon Arm SilverBacks officially have new owners, with a very enthusiastic Dale Unruh of Calgary as majority owner.

Unruh, who lives in Calgary, is chairman, president and CEO of the Quality Group of Companies based in Fort McMurray, Alberta. He and a group of silent minority owners have concluded their deal, with general manager and head coach Troy Mick carrying on as the “face” of the SilverBacks.

Mick, who remains a minority owner and increased his share in this deal, worked long and hard to secure a good

fit for the Salmon Arm organization. Based on enthusiasm, Unruh appears to be just that.

“It’s a great community, there’s huge community support,” he told the Observer Tuesday. “I went to a couple of games last year, met Troy, heard there was an opportunity there, and after meeting Troy and hearing throughout the industry, what an astute hockey mind and operator Troy is, and the amount of respect he has right across the nation in hockey, I was very optimistic there was an opportunity there with the right community, the right partner, the right coach, a good market, the right rink. Everything lined up, all the boxes were checked.”

“It was almost a no-

brainer,” he adds. “I’m a small-town boy myself. I was raised in Fort McMurray my whole life, I live in Calgary, and I was born in Trail.”

Asked about plans for the team, he said the plan is to support Mick.

Dale Unruh “We are absolutely hands off. This is Troy...

Our group consists of folks that can hopefully help Troy with a couple of decisions; we have some planning sessions set up where we’re all

going to sit down. We want to make the right moves for the community as it’s all about the community.”

Unruh says he’s held positions with minor hockey, but never anything like the owner of a Junior A team. He does, however, have Junior A experience. Unruh played for the Fort McMurray Oil Barons in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

“I was a fourth-liner at best – I’m not trying to re-live the dream,” he laughs.

He is, however, already a huge ’Backs fan.

“I spent two weekends with Troy, watching the games, getting to know the staff. Within three games, I was a ‘Go ’Backs go’ guy. It didn’t take long.”

Harper gets failing grade on scandal

In the blink of an eye, the Conservative government can strip away the retirement dreams of millions of Canadians. But when a loyal soldier of the government stands accused of bilking taxpayers with improper expenses, the prime minister claims to be powerless, while money is quietly funneled out of his office to repay the alleged wrongdoing.

But, this time, Canadians may finally have had enough. The cloud of scandal continues to grow over the head of embattled Senator Mike Duffy. The former TV journalist is accused of fudging his expense account, eventually repaying the improperly claimed expenses with $90,000 he received from Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff who has since resigned.

Duffy has now quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate, but he is so far rejecting calls to resign as a senator. And the prime minister seems unwilling to push him out the door.

Harper said he was “not happy” and “very upset” with the conduct of some parliamentarians and his own office, before hopping on a plane for a South American trade mission without answering questions from reporters. The same prime minister who has shown the powers of a majority government are almost limitless is now unable to even mention the name of his disgraced colleague.

Apart from apparently filing bogus expense claims, most Canadians would be hard pressed to name a single duty that senators fulfill.

Maybe Mike Duffy has done a service to his country after all. Maybe the senator’s actions will be the straw that broke the camel’s back and prompt Canadians to demand an end to the political embarrassment that is this nation’s Senate.

OpiniOn

Book takes a culinary voyage I like it when, every now and then, a new book from some publisher comes sailing across my desk at work.

I especially like it when it’s a new cookbook. If there’s one thing I enjoy more than eating, it’s preparing a meal either for myself or someone else up at the cabin. So when Sea Salt: Recipes from the West Coast Galley, landed on my desk last week you can understand why I got excited.

Sea Salt is a collaborative effort by Lorna Malone Eathorne and her two daughters Alison and Hilary (Malone) from Nanaimo, B.C It is more than a unique and interesting cook book, it’s more of a culinary/sailing adventure around Vancouver Island and nearby Gulf Islands.

The book is a collection of over 100 “sea-tested” gourmet recipes that draw inspiration from the area’s many farmers’ markets, fromageries and wineries, as well as the varied and abundant seafood that is harvested fresh daily from nearby waters.

The authors not only share

THe GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray their recipes, they also let readers in on many of the best, and often little-known, places where they can purchase or gather many of the ingredients needed for recipes that are hard to find in most city stores.

From barbecued brie cheese drizzled with thymeinfused honey, to mussels with fennel and ale, each recipe has been put together not only to delight, but excite the palate.

The very day I received Sea Salt, I took it home and tried out one recipe that sort of caught my fancy – crab spaghettini with chilli, lemon and basil. The only thing I did differently was substitute lime for the lemon.

Wow! It was delicious.

Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands have long been renowned as excellent cruising and sailing destinations, in large part because of their rugged coastlines, unspoiled beaches and the area’s rich biological diversity. The Malone family (including Lorna’s husband Bill) have spent the past 23 years sailing and exploring the islands on their classic wooden sailboat, the Aerial.

Appropriately, the book starts out with two short chapters on stocking a boat’s galley kitchen with necessary tools, implements and basic foodstuffs necessary for making both long and short trips. After that, the authors set sail on a culinary voyage that take the reader to a variety of destinations where they can purchase locally grown fruits and vegetables, local cheeses and either gather or catch any number of other fresh foodstuffs.

Whether feeding a hungry crew at sea or spending a leisurely morning having a breakfast of apricot-stuffed

French toast, readers will appreciate the thoughtful preparation and clever shortcuts that have gone into every recipe.

While I will likely never own a classic wooden sailboat (although I can always dream), I do have a little 12-foot aluminum fishing boat. I also have a couple of week’s holidays coming, so by the time you are reading this column I’ll probably be up at the cabin. I know I will most certainly be bringing my copy of Sea Salt along with me.

On the first day, I think I’m going to start with a breakfast of poached eggs (two) with choizo sausage and red pepper hash. Maybe later on in the day I’ll whip up some grilled salmon with a salad of spring greens and some tamari soba noodles for lunch – one does have to be at least a little adventuresome when preparing meals from a book like this. For supper I’ll have a baked halibut steak with fresh asparagus and goat’s cheese.

On my second day, I think maybe I’ll have …

Fish stocking contrary to natural order as those who “dug in their heels” (against fish-stocking), and who “could spend a fraction of the time and energy they spent fighting” (the fishstocking) on helping young people develop respect for “the lake and its inhabitants.”

How ironic!

Who could seriously believe that respect for nature and its ecosystems can possibly be encouraged by unnaturally degrading said “lake and its inhabitants?”

James has previously been asked – to no avail, so far – how fishstocking – and fishing derbies, for that mat-

ter – encourage respect for the living world – especially among young people. (In both instances, can anyone doubt that the fish are ‘acutely’ (a.k.a lethally) disrespected ?)

Perhaps the failed fish-stocking schemes are somehow galling to James, since undisturbed, unstocked McGuire Lake digs keep recurring in his columns.

Hardly surprising, since James supported McGuire fish-stocking, and through some odd, outdated, frontier time-warp, he and fellow believers in such unnatural nature-disturbance, persist in a

dogmatic sense of entitlement that it is their deserved and unquestioned right to wreak such disturbances – wherever!

It isn’t.

No, this nostalgic, yearned-for bygone past of a simple, human-dominated, unlimited Earth is far behind us; it’s 2013, after all, and the greenthinking of live-andlet-live should inform us now in our caring relationship to nature.

Like James – let’s just watch those dragonflies and “listen to the Autumn leaves rustling in the wind.”

This idea was first put forward four years ago as part of a proposed lake management plan by citizens defending McGuire from the unnatural intrusion and environmentally-damaging impacts of fishstocking schemes.

(Quite correct, James: such ill-advised, unscientifically-based schemes were “failures” and “debacles.”)

Hikers to explore Albas Falls Connecting people and exploring nature are the focus of Cedar Height Community Association’s (CHCA) hikes.

Gloria Heinzmann is a nature-lover at heart, and enjoys nothing more than going on outdoor strolls with her husband.

So when it came to hosting a CHCA event, Heinzmann knew what to do.

Three years later the Albas Falls hiking group has grown in size, its popularity spreading as far away as Salmon Arm. A hike to the falls Wednesday, June 12 is intended as a chance for community members to get together, socialize and discover the beauty just outside their doorsteps.

Hikers do not need to be CHCA members and there is no charge.

Those who wish to take part are asked to call and register by

June 9 however, to allow for the setting up of carpools.

The group will be meeting at the Cedar Heights Hall parking lot, and will pick up other members in Sorrento and the North Shore, en route to their destination.

While the majority of the road is good for any vehicle, Heinzmann does warn that the last 30 kilometres is gravel and gets a little rough.

Those who do not think their vehicle can make it, or do not have a method of getting to the trail head, may sign up for the carpool.

While the event is generally attended by youth and adults, Heinzmann says some participants have hiked with their babies in arm, allowing the whole family to experience nature at its finest.

The trails themselves are easily navigated with only a few steep slopes.

Hikers can pace themselves, moving as fast or as slow as they like.

There is no pressure, as the goal is for everyone to enjoy themselves.

Hikers will see five beautiful waterfalls within a one-kilometre span of trail.

“The start of the trail wanders around the creek and through the forest and part way up on one side are the waterfalls – two big ones and three smaller ones,” said Heinzmann.

“Coming back you wander through the forest with some areas full of flowers.”

Heinzmann describes the sights as “a natural wonder,” something that everyone in the area should experience.

Participants are encouraged to pack a lunch and perhaps a lawn chair, as there will be a chance for everyone to relax and

have a bite to eat by the lake.

In the past the groups have returned home around 4 p.m., after enjoying a full day of hiking and sightseeing.

Heinzmann believes events such as this are very beneficial for those who take part.

“Group hikes help to introduce people to the hiking trails of the area,” she said.

While the goal isn’t to teach safety, those taking part do tend to learn the proper routes to take, and have the security of a group to help them out if needed.

“We already have the Guys and Gals group as well as a women’s group who hike in the area,” Heinzmann said.

“We are an active area, and people enjoy hiking here.”

The Albas Falls hike is open to anyone who wishes to participate, however, everyone must register by no

Those interested can email Heinzmann at gloria16@telus.net providing your name, contact number, as well as whether you have room in your vehicle to carpool or if you need a ride yourself. Gloria can also be reached by phone at 250-675-0036.

The group will be leaving the Cedar Heights Hall parking lot at 9 a.m. sharp on the date to be announced.

Glaucoma, a common but treatable disease M

any people expect some moderate loss of visual acuity as they age.

Though some people can go a lifetime with 20/20 vision, many do need to get prescription eyeglasses as they age or get stronger prescriptions if they already wear glasses.

Glaucoma is one of the more common vision issues men and women face as they age. Though anyone, including newborn babies, can get glaucoma, older people are at a greater risk. That’s important for men and women to know, as the Glaucoma Research Foundation notes that glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, and roughly 10 percent of people who receive proper treatment will still experience loss of vision. Because it is so prevalent, glaucoma is something men and women should familiarize themselves with so they’re more equipped to recognize its symptoms and seek treatment, which is highly effective, as soon as possible.

What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is not a single disease but the name used to refer to a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve. Located in the back of the eye, the optic nerve is responsible for carrying information from the eye to the brain. Damage to the optic nerve can eventually lead to loss of vision.

How does glaucoma develop?

One of the first things to happen when a person gets glaucoma is the loss of peripheral vision. This is

enough to motivate many people to visit their eye doctor, who will then develop a course of treatment to restore vision. Those who experience a loss of peripheral vision but do not seek treatment may notice their overall vision is worsening, and total blindness can result.

Are all glaucomas the same?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases, and not all glaucomas are the same. There are three types of glaucomas, and each has its own set of symptoms. * Open-angle glaucoma: The most common form of glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma occurs when the optic nerve is gradually damaged.

Eyesight will be slowly lost, and one eye may be more affected than the other. * Closed-angle glaucoma: When a person has closedangle glaucoma, which is somewhat rare, the iris and the lens block the movement of fluid between the cham-

bers of the eye, causing pressure to build up as the iris presses on the eye’s drainage system. * Congenital glaucoma: Congenital glaucoma is rare and most often affects infants at birth. Children and young adults can also get congenital glaucoma, though such instances are also rare.

What are the symptoms of glaucoma?

The symptoms of glaucoma vary depending on the type.

Vision loss is the only noticeable symptom of openangle glaucoma, and that vision loss is likely to affect peripheral vision, which may not be noticeable until it’s severe because the healthy eye will make up for the loss. By the time sharpness of vision is affected, significant vision loss has likely occurred.

Closed-angle glaucoma may cause mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. When symptoms do appear, they tend to do so in short periods that occur in the evening

and disappear by morning.

In some instances, symptoms can be severe and will require immediate medical attention. These symptoms include sudden and severe blurring of vision; severe pain, either in the eye itself or the surrounding areas; redness of the eye; nausea and vomiting; and possibly colored halos around lights.

Symptoms of congenital glaucoma may be present at birth or develop as a child becomes a toddler. These symptoms may include watery eyes, sensitivity to light, an eye or eyes that appear cloudy and eyes that appear larger than normal because the eyeballs have enlarged due to pressure. A child may also be experiencing congenital glaucoma if he or she is frequently rubbing his or her eyes or squinting or keeping his or her eyes closed much of the time.

Selecting glorious colour Many novice gardeners have great difficulty choosing plant varieties for their yards, particularly when colour is concerned. Combining colours and foliage is always a challenge, even for more experienced gardeners. It is well worth doing some research, however, as a harmonious flower bed sets apart a well-maintained home with little cost and only a little bit of effort.

Here are a few tips to help you create a visually striking yard, one that suits your personality and creates the look that you’ve always wanted.

• Yellow stands out, attracting the eye right away. This colour creates a joyful ambiance.

• Red is a warm colour. It draws the eye and creates a dramatic effect.

• Blue communicates calm and relaxation. A grouping of blue flowers gives and impression of more space. Careful use of blue in small yards can show confined areas to advantage.

• Oranges are fall tones par excellence. They create an illusion

Ways of wrestling with weeds Gaia GardeninG Margo Westaway

Ah, the wonderful world of weeds!

They’re here to greet us in early spring and they keep us busy until it snows again. Our beautiful gardens of Eden can easily become our gardens of weedin’ and if you can’t see the forest for the trees – well, for some, you can’t see their gardens for the weeds.

Weeds are defined as ‘undesirable plants, considered to be useless, cumbersome or troublesome.’

Basically this means that they can range from pigweed to petunias, from dainty to devilish.

In Ken Thompson’s The Book of Weeds – How to Deal With Plants That Behave Badly, he writes: “Since the dawn of gardening history, horticulturists have waged ceaseless war against a ruthless invader. From the lawns of stately homes to miniscule urban plots, weeds have been the gardener’s perennial enemy.” Ralph Waldo Emerson’s version of a weed is: “Simply a plant whose virtues haven’t yet been discovered.” So I suppose it’s all about perspective.

But generally speaking, weeding can either be an easy exercise or a royal pain in the grass.

method, which is dealing with the weeds before the problem gets out of hand. We can dig them out before they get big and belligerent, decapitate or weed-wack ’em before they waft away, imprison them within barriers before they intrude or smother and suffocate before they spread and spray.

Some may still resort to lethal liquidation, but remember, that always comes with a price to the rest of the un-targeted critters around them.

Other ways to avoid your weeding woes is to: a) bullet-proof your garden beds and borders with impenetrable deep barriers (versatile Dinoflex mats work the best for me.); b) don’t buy or accept plants with dodgy backgrounds and questionable origins, like the ones you buy at community plant sales, or the new exotic goodies at the store, without doing some due diligence first, c) clean off all root balls as best as you can if they came from another garden and don’t use that soil; d) have rich, loose soils for ease of extraction;, e) consider what your soil conditions are in case you’ve created the perfect environment for those weeds to grow in; f) use the ‘when in doubt, leave it out’ rule for your compost; and lastly, g) get rid of the dirty players in your gardens for good and replace them with something less troublesome.

“Weeds” can be the good guys too, and perhaps we could be more attentive of their purpose and perfection.

Weeds possess a multitude of takeover tactics and techniques.

For instance, there are those marauders like the relentlessly roaming rhizomes of couch grass, others that deploy wafting white parachutes that float their seeds willy-nilly in the wind like dandelions and some that produce wee weeds for next year’s crop by shooting them out from seed pods. Others produce bazillions of bulbetts too tiny to detect and then there’s weeds that actually get stimulated to grow even more of them when messed with. There are happy hookers like burrs that hitchhike about on unsuspecting passersby and vines that send runners to randomly claim more real estate.

Taproots can tunnel so deep that you need to excavate a 3-ft. hole to extract them and the big brutes require the bucket of a backhoe.

Then to add insult to injury, factor in those nasty weeds that pose considerable risk to us gardeners, such as the ones armed with sharp thorns, prickly stems and nasty stingers.

Sometimes we win the battle but other times we can be totally defeated once they take hold, requiring complete soil removal and starting from scratch.

Ugh! To nip the situation in the bud, we gardeners have a number of weedbusting strategies to out-smart and out-gun them. The most effective means of counterattack is simply using the ‘best before date’

n Cancer survivor Randolph Westphal, from Frankfurt, Germany is spreading hope around the world as he completes his sixth world tour, which brought him through Salmon Arm last week.

In Scotland he’s been called Braveheart and in the U.S. he’s been named the living legend. But he has a different name for himself.

That’s exactly what you’ll hear when you wish him good luck on his journey.

“I am the luck,” said Westphal who also lives with a virus.

“A cat has nine lives, I have much more.”

His worldwide journeys are enough to earn some of his titles.

Among the more than 205,000 kilometres of road he has travelled, Westphal has ridden in every extreme.

“The worst was minus 51 weather.”

And he does it all on a measly budget of less than $20 a day (feeding himself and his dogs).

This is why donations are gratefully accepted,

to help Westphal continue his journey of spreading hope.

Westphal’s sixth world tour began May 4 in the U.S. and since travelling through Salmon Arm and Revelstoke he is heading north to Alaska.

City to buy park land for Little Mountain market news staff

Trespassing concerns along part of the Little Mountain trail system should be eliminated if the city succeeds in acquiring a portion of adjacent private property.

Salmon Arm council has given first and second reading to amend the official community plan and zoning related to a 2.3 acre section of property in the northeast corner of the 37-hectare community park. Approximately 335 metres of the park’s Outer Loop trail runs through this portion, currently owned by G. and M. Hartling.

A memo from city

$

planning and development officer John Turlock says that to protect the trail for future public use, the Hartlings offered to sell the part of their property containing the trail to the city.

In January, council authorized staff to negotiate the purchase, and an agreement was signed in February, with a completion day of Dec. 20, 2013.

“The city is covering the associated costs and will name the trail the Hartling Loop if the purchase is successfully completed,” the memo states, with funds for the purchase coming from the city’s park reserve account.

Chase A longtime passion for politics

By Andrea Klassen black press

“Todd Stone: A young Liberal-cumlawyer with his eyes on McGill and federal politics.”

Like a fair share of predictions made at the age of 17, the summary in the Kam High yearbook — class of 19891990 — doesn’t quite resemble the man at 41.

But, the two words that remain essential to Kamloops-South Thompson’s new MLA are there: politics and Liberal.

In a provincial election filled with surprises, Stone’s 5,000-plusvote margin of victory in longtime B.C. Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger’s old riding is pretty far down the list of shocks.

To many of those close to Stone — friends, family and fellow politicos — it was as inevitable a step as teenaged Todd’s yearbook write-up makes it sound, even if the level of government to which he aspired has changed since the 1990s.

The oldest of three children, Stone moved to Kamloops at age nine when his father, Ken, took a job with the newly created Office of the Fire Commissioner.

His mother, Bernadette, remembers him as a typical kid, playing soccer and softball and taking organ lessons at World of Music.

But, by 16, the political bug had bitten Stone hard, thanks in part to his high school history teacher, Walter Trkla.

“They just started talking politics and Todd really just seemed to get into it,” mom Bernadette says.

Soon, Stone and his friends were forming their own Young Liberals club and holding meetings in the family’s backyard. Depending on the day, the club sometimes drew more members than the back deck could handle, rel-

egating some Young Liberals to the lawn.

Trkla — who remains friends with his former pupil — remembers Stone as one of a group of World History 12 students who were more interested than normal in world affairs.

When Paul Martin caught Stone’s interest after a particularly eventful federal election, he brought Trkla a poster of the federal Liberal MP for his classroom wall, already covered in world leaders.

“He was involved where many others were not,” Trkla says.

“Throughout his life, politics was in his blood.”

University followed, with Stone choosing to study political science in Victoria.

“I told him to take a break from politics when he started university,” dad Ken recalls.

“The first time he comes back, he’s already organized a Young Liberals club.”

Politics had a way of making it into Stone’s personal life as well.

It was federal election day 1997 and Stone, then working as an aide to Gordon Campbell, was helping Liberal candidate Clark Roberts get out the vote when he crossed paths with Roberts’ niece, Chantelle.

A veteran campaigner from the age of eight, Chantelle — whose grandfather, Stan Roberts, had once run for federal Reform party leadership against Preston Manning — was as well-versed in politics as Stone.

“There was definitely some attraction there,” Chantelle recalls.

Not long after, a mutual friend called her, saying Stone had expressed interest in her, but was too shy to call himself.

“At the same time, she [the mutual friend] called Todd and said, ‘I hope you don’t mind,

He called soon after.

“It was a good match,” Chantelle says.

“We had lots to talk about, we’re both Catholic and we both dislike peas. So, really, marriage was the only option.”

When the family returned to Kamloops a few years later, in part to take advantage of the city’s cheaper office space for Stone’s fledgling tech company, iCompass, they remained active on the local political scene.

“He moved back to Kamloops and started his business and we thought, ‘Oh, maybe

he won’t,” says Bernadette.

“Then he was Kevin Krueger’s campaign manager and I said to Ken, ‘Uh oh, here he goes again.’”

Behind the politics, however, there’s a hidden, goofy side to Stone.

When he and Terry Lake, Kamloops-North Thompson’s Liberal MLA, discovered a line of men’s designer underwear called Todd and Terry, they tracked down a pair and brought them to a campaign event that also featured Premier Christy Clark.

“He actually has a really good sense of humour,” says Chantelle, who describes her husband as the member

Vehicle driver AWOL In the early hours of May 18, Chase RCMP received a phone call stating that a vehicle had rolled down an embankment on Harper Road and was engulfed in flames.

The Salmon Arm RAP team was called in. However, as the team does not get involved with vehicle fires, members remained on scene to ensure it did not spread to the surrounding forest.

When Chase RCMP arrived on scene the occupants of the vehicle could not be found. A Kamloops canine unit searched the area looking for the possibly ejected occupants but found nothing.

Police have since been able to locate the registered owner of the vehicle, but the driver has yet to be determined.

An investigation is ongoing, and erratic driving is suspected to be the

cause.

Despite the fiery wreck, the long weekend was much quieter than previous years.

While the reason is unknown, Chase RCMP Cpl. Mark Skotnicki said it may have had to do with the weather. Most calls pertained only to erratic drivers and loud parties.

RCMP officers did, however, attend a single-vehicle roll over in Magna Bay that resulted in a male and female being transported to a hospital with minor injuries.

The accident occurred after the driver took a tight corner too fast, resulting in the vehicle’s tire catching the pavement and causing the driver to lose control. The car flipped off the road, eventually landing on its roof.

The driver of the vehicle was given a ticket for speed relative to conditions.

Museum could use volunteers Volunteers will be helping keep the Chase and District Museum alive this summer in more ways than one.

Residents of Chase and area banded together to help raise money for the museum after a fire that caused significant damage in 2011. Since then the building has received a new roof among many other repairs. The generosity didn’t stop there, however, as a number of Chase residents have spent hours cleaning and restoring artifacts that incurred smoke damage. Now, finally, things are almost ready to go.

While the museum has been able to make use of temporary space for a number of innovative events such as the Christmas pageant and, more recently, the quilt show, it is time to get some exhibits on display once again.

While not all the artifacts are quite ready to be brought back from storage at the school, museum directors

have thought of a creative interim display to host throughout the summer.

This will be a working display and will feature the very volunteers who are putting so much effort into bringing the community’s history back to life. Directors also hope to showcase the process of restoring artifacts, detailing the steps needed to take an item from damaged goods to a shiny treasure. Directors hope there will at times be volunteers working on pieces when visitors come, which will allow them to get a live display of the different processes.

The museum is always looking for new volunteers, but will especially need some for this purpose. Training will be provided to each new volunteer, as there are different methods of restoration depending on the artifact, as well as different paperwork which must be filed out.

NICHOLAS COLE LARSEN

Cards of Thanks Wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of people who, with short notice, came to our beloved Chris’s celebration of Life, some traveling many many miles to be with him. We would also like to say thanks for the many acts of kindness shown to us in the form of phone calls, flowers, cards and food. It all meant so much to us in our time of need.

Special thanks to long time family friend Jack Bowers and all his staff at Bowers Funeral Home for going above and beyond to make the celebration of life to Chris so special.

To Mavis, Even though she is part of our family, for the phone calls and organizing she did on our behalf.

Also to teachers Bob Henderson and “Varg” for their touching and heart rendering tributes to Chris.

To Lisa Wynn for her “special” tribute, and to the rest of her family, Husband Bob and children for being his caring and loving extended Kelowna Family.

To Chris’s mentors, coordinators and teachers at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm and Kelowna, especially his Kelowna welding instructor who attended and spoke kindly of Chris in his tribute and also to all his Kelowna College classmates who took “time off” to attend.

The College in Kelowna flew their flag at half mast in Chris’s honor!

We are overwhelmed by all the acts of love and kindness that were shown to our family.

We are humbled

Born in 1969, Alan Little was four years old when his family moved to Salmon Arm. He grew up and graduated from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary before moving out into the world, living and working in various places before settling in Prince George, where he worked as a Shift Supervisor in the Lakeland Mills Sawmill.

Alan died on April 24, 2012 as the result of an explosion and fire that destroyed the mill on April 23. His mother, Deanna Little, along with his three surviving brothers, decided Alan would like a tangible commemorative spot here in Salmon Arm, where his many friends can visit and remember him. Alan’s memorial brick was the first purchased from Shuswap Community Foundation.

Each brick purchased for placement in the walkway includes a donation to the Shuswap Community Foundation Memorial Walkway Fund which will fund community-based charitable programs, projects and services within the area of Salmon Arm.

Known for her love of people and her ready smile, Thelma will be sadly missed by all who knew her, including her many extended family members and friends.

Born in the first Salmon Arm hospital in 1916, Thelma grew up the eldest of 10 jolly and musical children born to John and Theodora (Dolly) Lund, and of them is now survived only by her youngest brother, Lawrence, of Smithers, BC. Being as her grandfather, Johan Haakan Lund was a first citizen of Canoe, Thelma loved her family heritage and was always eager to share photos and stories of the pioneer days.

To Our Family, Friends, and Acquaintances in the Okanagan, It was with great sadness we learned of Thelma’s passing, and even though miles have separated us over the years, there has always been a special bond between us. Thelma’s almost weekly calls to Lawrence kept him apprised of the goings on, life and activity in Canoe and surrounding area. But more than an update, the calls were probably made to check up on her little brother to make sure he was OK. That’s what big sisters do.

As we, the northerners in the family look back to the rich history of our roots in Canoe and the role Thelma has played in our lives, we see Thelma as the epitome of a true pioneer woman. She was a beloved mother, sister and not just any “aunt”. She, of course, was “Aunty Thelma” to many cousins, second cousins and even many friends. We know her passing leaves a big hole in all of our lives, even those of us who have lived far away and not been able to enjoy her company in person as often as we would have liked. Nevertheless, we hold her dear to our hearts and have enjoyed the times we were able to visit on holidays or connect via phone over the years.

The passing of a loved one is usually a sober (and sometimes not so sober) time of reflection. A time, when upon realization that life is all too short, we do an account of the things that really matter and the things that do not in the big scheme of things.

So, usually, it’s in the light of the life of the person we have just said final goodbyes to, our busy lifestyles, our drive to succeed, and relationships, past and present, all seem to move to the forefront of our thoughts of what really matters.

On this occasion, we can evaluate our lives, values, relationships, accomplishments, failures and everything else life throws our way in the light of Thelma’s life. To sum up and describe Thelma and her approach to life in a single word is difficult and we are sure we all have varied perspectives.

However, in our memories, one world that could be used is the simple word “twinkle”.

On the surface, that may seem to be a trivial word and a rather cursory summation of a life long lived, but I think we can all agree, while reflecting on our own lives, that “twinkle” seems to describe the very essence of Thelma’s life. She was in her own way a rock for many of us to escape to in times of trouble, a person who never turned away anyone in need. Always, and often in spite of her own pain at times, willing to give, to help and encourage. A cup of tea perhaps, a little cash for gas, a home-cooked meal, perhaps a jar of homemade jam or piece of pie, a funny story, a mischievous joke or prank and the ever important lending of an ear. We can remember the twinkle in her eye and smile when she was light-heartedly joking or kidding around. Kind of a mischievous but a well-meaning twinkle reserved for those she loved.

We also remember her home as a peaceful place, graced with reminders of what was truly most important to her, her family. There were shelves of memorabilia, pictures of Uncle Walter, of grandchildren, pictures by grandchildren and other valuable crafts and photos of sons, daughters. Tea was always at the ready, cookies and treats in the wings, all given with the “twinkle” in her eye. There were other vivid memories as well, like multiple cuckoo clocks, milking cows with Uncle Walter, separating cream from the milk with Auntie Thelma and so many others but they all pale in comparison to the memory of who she was, a gentle, peaceful and comforting spirit with a “twinkling” personality.

So as you celebrate Thelma’s life in Canoe and we, in Smithers, let us all reflect on what she meant to us as a mother, sister, aunt and good friend and upon what made her such a special person. Let’s honour her memory by being true to the values she held close, hard work, perseverance, friendship, honesty, compassion, humility, hospitality and last, but not least, family.

We all wish we could be present at this tea today to grieve Thelma’s passing and celebrate her life with our family and friends. We will all miss her dearly and miss all of you as well.

Looking forward to seeing you all again someday soon.

All our best, Lawrence, Betty and family The family hosted a Memorial tea was held in the Canoe Community Hall on Sunday afternoon, May 26, 2013 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.

BESSIE BEATRICE SWEETEN 1913 - 2013 On Sunday, May 19, 2013 our dear little Mother, Bessie Beatrice Sweeten, passed away peacefully just 5 days after celebrating her 100th birthday. Bessie was born in Edmonton on May 14, 1913 to James Robert and Ella Jane Harvey. She was a long time resident of Salmon Arm, having moved there with her family in the mid 1920’s. On October 29, 1930 she married the love of her life, Thomas Allen Sweeten. Shortly after celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary Tommy passed away, and in 1993 Bessie moved to Kamloops to be nearer to her daughter and sisters.

Bessie was a dedicated homemaker always willing to lend a helping hand to her family, friends and neighbours, be it giving a perm, hemming a dress, minding a child or countless other kindnesses. She had a great (sometimes mischievous) sense of humour and when she and her siblings and their families got together it was always a good time filled with joking and laughter.

Bessie was predeceased by her husband Tommy in 1991, daughter Velma Anne in 2009, granddaughter JoAnne in 1998, all her siblings Dorothea Dunne, Ethel Blackburn, Minnie Mitchell, Vi Bryden and Bob Harvey; sister-in-law Mary Smith and brother-in-law Roy Sweeten.

She will be lovingly remembered by daughters, Lois Lapadat of Smithers and Carol (Larry) Tyssen of Kamloops, grandchildren Maureen (Ed) Draper, Belinda (Will) Stewart, both of Crawford Bay, Tammy (Mike) Gutziet of Revelstoke, Judith Lapadat (Rob), Lethbridge AB, Lawrence (Teresa) Lapadat, Salt Spring Island, Ron (Sarah) Lapadat, Smithers, Tony Lapadat, Telkwa, Teresa (Travis) Meyer, Clancy MT, Darrell Tyssen, Airdrie AB, Steve (Hideko) Tyssen, Calgary AB; 24 great grandchildren; 16 great, great grandchildren; 1 great, great, great grandson: many nieces and nephews: and sister-in-law Marjorie Sweeten, now of Edmonton.

Special thanks to the Staff at Kamloops Senior’s Village for the exemplary care given to Bessie these past seven years.

The Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 1, 2013 at St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church in Salmon Arm, 170 Shuswap Street SE. In memory of Bessie, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society, #300-828 West 8th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1E2, would be greatly appreciated.
