Diesel spilled in transport accident By Tracy Hughes OBSeRVeR STAFF

A transport truck driver took a rockier ride than expected Friday when he crossed the westbound lane of traffic on the Transcanada Highway, went over an embankment, plowed through a farmer’s field and two fences before coming to rest on the patio of a residence at 3171 50th Street ne. The impact ruptured the truck’s front diesel tanks, which began leaking fuel onto the lawn. A containment fence was erected at the site to prevent the fuel from running off into canoe creek and, an hour after the crash, firefighters were still

working to contain the spill. Fortunately the owner of the home had steel gallon drums available, so Salmon Arm Fire department crews were using those to hold the leaking diesel. The driver narrowly avoided striking both a car and a van parked near the home; however, the truck did strike some lawn chairs and a kid’s plastic swimming pool. The homeowner was inside the residence at the time of the crash; no one was outside. The truck driver was taken to hospital for a medical assessment, but he was able to walk to the ambulance without assistance.

“The driver of the truck had lost consciousness following a coughing fit,” explained RcMP Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane. “He was taken to hospital and later released without major injury.” Police said it was remarkable that no one was hurt in the crash, noting a few cars apparently needed to make evasive maneuvers to avoid the eastbound semi as it crossed the westbound lane of heavy summer traffic. Given the medical situation, Keane says no charges are appropriate under the Motor Vehicle Act. The highway was open to traffic but with some delays for emergency crews to access the site.

Rescue mission

Fourteen members of Shuswap Search and Rescue answered a call for assistance from BC Ambulance to rescue a 55-year-old hiker who had twisted her ankle and was no longer able to walk about a half-mile up the Balmoral Trail just after 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 17. Search manager John Schut says Shuswap First Responders were also on scene to offer assistance.

Hudson parking extended Come August, people parked on Hudson Avenue, between Alexander and Shuswap Streets, will have up to two hours to enjoy the downtown before having to move their vehicles. Salmon Arm council has agreed to a recom-

mendation by the city’s Downtown Parking Commission to extend the parking time from one hour to two in the designated area, for a six-month trial period. This was at the urging of businessowner and Downtown Salmon Arm president Cookie

Langenfeld, who said people are constantly being ticketed. Councillors noted parking is cheap downtown and that there are longer-term options available. It was also stressed that employees shouldn’t be parking in prime spots. 1771-10th Avenue S.W. Salmon Arm, B.C.

Local dollars are said to recirculate 2-4 times when spent with locally owned businesses compared to multinational organizations because they: • Recirculate greater profits in the community. • Create more local employment. • More often buy local products and services (especially local marketing and financial services). • Donate more to local charities, nonprofit groups and community organizations. In a recent BC study, the local and Canadian market share of independent and chain business was assessed. It calculated the economic impacts of locally owned business compared to their major North American chain competitors. Here are some of the highlights: Market Share • Local businesses in Canada have less than 1/2 the total market share on average. This has been dropping slightly each year since 2008. • Market share by local business has dropped approximately 15% in the

Local businesses captured just 34.7% of the market in 2010, in front of only Alberta & Manitoba (tied at 33.1%) and Nova Scotia (30.8%). We lag the Canadian average of 41.8% and are way behind local market share leaders in Quebec (54.7%). • BC furniture & home furnishing stores have the highest market share by local business in the country.

• BC food & beverage stores have the lowest market share by local business in the country. Mulitplier • BC local businesses creates double the economic impact of their chain competitors. They recirculate more than 2.6 times as much revenue in the local economy as chains (46.3% compared to 17.8% for chains) • Local retailers recirculate 45% compared to 17% for chains • Local restaurants recirculate 65%

compared to 30% for chains. The greater labour intensity of local restaurants compared to retail stores is the reason for the greater economic impact. Buy Local • Buying local, even a few more purchases each week, can have a big impact on the local economy and on communities across BC. The impact of consumers increasing local purchasing by 10% would create 31,000 jobs which translates into $940 million in wages to BC workers.

form of the Otterbine Barebo Giant Fountain, which features a spray height of 50 feet and a diameter of 42 feet. The city budgeted $40,000 for the new fountain, a cost that might have risen with the new transformer, Ackerman said.

OBSERVER STAFF

It was just a teaser. The McGuire Lake Fountain, out of commission since last summer, rose to life last Wednesday afternoon – but only for a brief stint. The popular fountain gushed upwards from about 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., said Brad Ackerman with the city’s parks and recreation department. “We ran a test cycle. One of the transformers will have to be replaced -– it heated up…,” he said Thursday. “It’s an indication we have to address that one before it goes into full operation.” He said the installation crew was dealing with the original power supply so had to make sure the transformer could handle the load. “It appears we have to upgrade it a little.” Ackerman said replacement wouldn’t be difficult – and he was

By Thursday, the part was already en route to Salmon Arm from the Lower Mainland. Once it was installed Friday, it was “just a matter of putting the switch over to ‘on’.” Meanwhile, the fountain platform was secured, and with it a substantial amount of cable for the lights and motor. The new fountain

is similar in height to the old one, but with a little wider pattern. The lights are different, though. The old ones, which were all white, had just two settings – on or off. The new ones can be set to a couple of different sequences. “You might have 12 lights on all at once, then down to six or eight,” Ackerman said, adding the new foun-

tain has options such as different lenses and four or five different colour changes. And maintenance on the new fountain is expected to be easier. The old fountain stopped working last summer and could not be revived. Only one of the suppliers contacted was able to provide the specifications required and they were in the

Pulling Together benefits all By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Through the dip and pull of a paddle, friendships are born, understanding begins and community strengthens. On Thursday, the 13th annual Pulling Together Canoe Journey gathers at a Splatsin camp near Enderby because, this year, the power of the journey touches the waters of the Shuswap. The first journey, with close to 100 canoes, took place in 2001 and went from Yale to Gibsons. It stopped at the many First Nations communities along the Fraser River and each joined in by paddling and sharing their culture and traditional foods. “For some of the communities it was the first time in more than a hundred years that canoes were seen in their territory,” explains an excerpt from the Pulling Together website. “For many that participated in the inaugural Pulling Together journey, it was the first time they had the opportunity to experience First Nations culture...” That first year the organizing agency was the RCMP, with the realization it would benefit the police in their dealings with First Nations, and vice versa. Over the years the journey has

Community: Participants bond during the unique canoe journey. expanded its reach, and now includes Fisheries and Oceans, the navy, conservation, municipalities and more. “It’s a cultural exchange,” says Jolene Andrews, president of the Pulling Together Canoe Society. “It’s an opportunity to sit outside the institutions and be in a community together. We get outside our roles and learn a lot.” This year’s journey involves five local bands: Adams Lake, Neskonlith, Splats’in, Little Shuswap and Kamloops. “This year we’re seeing five canoes in the communities we’re going to,” says Andrews. “They haven’t been practising their canoe traditions for a number of decades. To have that

return to their communities and be a part of that is a real honour.” A pleased Chief Nelson Leon of the Adams Lake Indian Band confirms his band has acquired a 14-seat canoe and has been training for the journey. Andrea Stelter with the Little Shuswap Band is helping organize the event. She said Secwepemc – or Shuswap – elders named this canoe journey, Awakening the Spirit, because “it’s an opportunity to bring water back, via the canoe, to the people.” Others join the journey as well and, at last count, about 20 10- to 20-person canoes were registered. People are welcome to come and cheer on the paddlers, or accompany them in

their own canoes for stretches of the journey. Including support crews, about 500 people will be making their way from Mara Lake Provincial Park all the way to Kamloops. Paddlers arrive on Thursday and the paddling journey begins Saturday, July 27. It finishes Friday, Aug. 2. And they’ll all be getting fed, as Sgt. Wally Argent of the Vancouver Police knows well. Along with being an organizer, he’s a cook’s

assistant – and this will be his 10th year on the journey. He is witness to its benefits. “It changes on both sides – that’s what it’s all about. The more people understand and get to know each other, that’s how you make change.” Overall, Argent loves the experience. “There’s an atmosphere there. To me, it’s like coming home.” To learn more, go to ‘pullingtogether.ca.’

Everyone on board In the end, Mr. Body was bludgeoned to death in the salon with a candlestick wielded by Mrs. White, the cold-blooded killer who looks no more dangerous than a kindly librarian. The savage act was deduced by my 12-year-old son, who joined me and his big sister in that night’s detective hall of fame. Three rounds of the board game Clue and three different Sherlock Holmes solving the mystery. In this age of heads tilted and eyes fixated and thumbs tap-tap-tapping on smartphones and iPods, unplugging from the video addiction and tossing the dice on a good old-fashioned board game offers a refreshing reprieve. But, as video-game violence and associated mayhem on the Internet gets much press, I took a look at the board game on the table and the stacks of board games in the closet — and realized we have always been tied to real-life scenarios, even when trying to escape the same in games, be they board or video. Take Clue, for example. It’s a fantastic game that forces players to draw on their powers of deduction, but the central theme is murder — in various violent ways. Hangings, shootings and blunt-force trauma take the life of hapless Mr. Body again and again and again. Clue is not alone in board games that replicate the uglier side of real life. Risk mimics that which we all profess to wish would be eradicated from the face of the earth — war. The goal is to have your troops kill all the other troops in battle and conquer the territories of your opponent, invading and, presumably, enslaving the populace, Monopoly is the most popular board game of all time and the goal is to become filthy rich while bankrupting all others. In Monopoly, as in real life, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class doesn’t have a chance. Even the venerable Game of Life, which was unveiled in 1860, the very year the U.S. Civil War began, has managed to stay relevant with society’s ever-changing values. The game I remember from my childhood had players choosing to go to college or get a job, the latter being a decision that would likely land a player in the “poor farm;” the former being a choice that would likely see the player retire in “Millionaire Acres.” The latest version of The Game of Life, which we purchased a few years ago, had me baffled as I studied the board. Of course, the next updated version I buy will likely have us landing on spaces that gift us 20 per cent pay hikes as city administrators, or spaces giving us 100 per cent medical and dental coverage, courtesy of taxpayers in The Game of Life. Hey, it happens in Real Life, so why not in The Game of Life? Video games and 3D movies do not have exclusive domain over virtual reality. It’s right there, in our closets, on boards carrying memories of your youth. Do yourself a favour — drop the Wii remotes and dust off Battleship. It will feel good. - Christopher Foulds is the editor of Kamloops This Week.

Editorial

Mussels pose serious threat We all know the story of the boy who cried wolf, but concerns about zebra and quagga mussels are not being over-exaggerated. The mussels first arrived in North America from Europe in the 1980s. Since then, they have spread across the continent, devastating ecosystems and public infrastructure along the Great Lakes, the Mississippi River basin and Lake Tahoe. Anyone who believes this area is immune to this problem is being unrealistic. Given high levels of calcium (needed for the development of shells) in local lakes, the invasive species could thrive here. They clog water intake pipes and pumps, deplete food sources for indigenous fish and produce toxins that contaminate drinking water. Imagine walking along beaches covered in razor-

sharp shells. Not only would recreational activities suffer, real estate values would be impacted. Given the potential ramifications, it is critical that all residents support municipal governments, who are demanding senior levels of government take immediate action to prevent an infestation or at least slow the species’ arrival. All boats coming into B.C. from the U.S. or Alberta must undergo thorough inspection, while decontamination stations must be established at key locations in the Okanagan-Shuswap. Given the value we all place on our lakeside lifestyle, write your MP and MLA and insist they take the issue of zebra and quagga mussels seriously. Time is running out. –Vernon Morning Star

Playground needs facelift I had the pleasure of taking my grandson down to Canoe Beach the weekend of July 13. After playing in the sand and surf he was ready for the playground. Now to a four-yearold the park looks pretty awesome, but to an adult that just spent the previous afternoon with the same child at Sun-

nybrae Provincial Park across the bay, it looked pretty sad and tired. What a nice park Sunnybrae has. It has a nice beach, picnic tables, a swim platform, and a great playground. I realize that Sunnybrae is a provincial park but I think it’s time for some dollars to go into replacing the old playground equipment at

Canoe Beach. Is it the same equipment from 15 years ago? There have been some great playgrounds built in Salmon Arm over the years but I believe the only public beach playground in the Salmon Arm/Canoe area deserves some attention. Cheryl Swityk

Sicamous reaps the benefits I spent my time and my money this weekend in Sicamous all because Salmon Arm said “No” to hosting Summer Stomp and Burnout 2013. I don’t know the politics or reasoning behind the decision to let this registered charitable event slip out of our hands and our economy but bravo to Sicamous Mayor, Darrell Trouton, and the rest of the council for unanimously voting to not look a gift horse in the mouth.

With street vendors, live bands, burnout competitions and trick riders all being held on the main street of Sicamous there was definitely something there for the whole family – for free. There was a cost to enter or stay at the adultonly campground. This part of the event was completely gated, wellmaintained, very well organized and provided more vendors and awesome entertainment. This event will defi-

nitely continue to grow and I sincerely hope that it does wonders for the people and the economy of Sicamous. As for the mentality of Salmon Arm’s city council and, yes, a lot of our residents – shame on you for being so closed-minded. C. Wright Editor’s note: The former Stomp grounds are under the municipal jurisdiction of the CSRD, not the City of Salmon Arm.

Coarse fish bounty a good idea One of the most prolific coarse fish we have is the squawfish, or the pike minnow. These are a prolific fish that are only good for fertilizer. In the USA, there is a very hefty bounty on them as the folks there know the danger to the salmon runs. If we want to increase the edible fish in the Shuswap,

then something should be done to reduce the squawfish population. This can easily be done with fish traps, fishing derbies, etc. But what to do with the caught squawfish? Could a processing plant handle them and reduce them to a slurry for fertilizer? If so, where is one? If we could get a small

bounty going and a place to put the fish, then I am sure we could get the kids even more interested in fishing. The bounties could be paid out of the surcharge for the rainbow and lake trout tags as we sure don’t see any gains from those in the Shuswap. Gary Kanngiesser

Drugs in the park Three people were arrested in a stolen vehicle after police were alerted to a report of people using drugs at the public park on Sunnybrae Canoe-Point Road. At 6:30 p.m., on Saturday July 20, police investigated and discovered the vehicle had been stolen. Further to investigation, RCMP also located drugs including methamphetamines. Two men and one woman were held in custody, all are residents of Salmon Arm.

Attempted robbery A robbery at the Salmon Arm Waterslide Park was interrupted, but the suspects have managed to elude police. At 9 p.m., on Sunday, July 21, police received a report of the interrupted robbery. A witness said two men wearing ski masks entered the business after hours and attempted to steal money from a safe. Upon being interrupted, the men fled eastbound on foot.

impaired driver At 2 a.m., on July 20, police stopped a suspected impaired driver on Lakeshore Drive. The driver was removed and the vehicle impounded.

Injured cyclist urges caution By Tracy Hughes A cyclist is urging others to use extreme care on local roads after he was recently struck by a car. Ken Angle was wearing a reflective vest as he cycled to work at the city’s public works yard on 30th Street NE, however as he cycled past a residential driveway, a car backed out and bumped him off his bike. “He just rolled right into me, even though I was wearing one of those reflective vests, he still didn’t see me,” said Angle. “It made me realize that even with safety precautions, cyclists need to be so careful, but also I wanted to spread the message to drivers. There are cyclists out there at all times of the day, so you need to be watching.” Angle was riding to work at 6:45 a.m. when the incident took place. His knee was injured in the collision, but he said it could have been worse. He hopes cyclists will be proactive about safety. “Be as visible as possible, don’t wear dark colours, always wear your helmet. And make eye contact with drivers. Don’t’ assume they are aware of you.” Angle still plans to ride his bike to work. “I’ll be getting back to it,” he said with a laugh. “Although I might be a bit more jumpy than before.”

Mortgage your home, not your family’s future Buying a home is probably the largest purchase you will ever make. It’s vital that you protect it– and your family’s future–by choosing the right insurance. But should you go the easy route and opt for lenders’ mortgage insurance because it’s so convenient to obtain and the premiums are simply added to your monthly mortgage payment? Here are some factors for considering other options: 1. With lenders’ mortgage insurance, the lender is the owner and beneficiary, not your family. But when you own the policy, you designate the beneficiary. 2. Lenders’ mortgage insurance only covers you for the declining balance on your mortgage but your premiums remain the same. With a personal policy, your coverage will not decrease. 3. Lenders’ mortgage insurance expires when the mortgage is paid off. Personal policy coverage continues after the mortgage is paid. 4. Your lender can change premiums or cancel the policy at any time. Only you make changes or cancel your personal policy and your premiums are guaranteed for the life of the plan. 5. Lenders usually do not allow your insurance to transfer to a new mortgage, lender, or possibly even a renewal but your personal policy moves with you. 6. Your lender may assess your coverage only when you make a claim, leaving you unsure of the coverage you have. With a personal policy, your medical history is reviewed before the policy is issued–so you can sure of coverage when needed. So, you should go your own way. But what types of insurance are best? Permanent life insurance is among the few assets that provide tax-free liquidity to your estate precisely when necessary. Disability insurance is also worth considering because a disability accounts for 48% of all mortgage forclosures.1 Include your spouse in your insurance planning, too. With four separate coverages – life insurance and disability insurance to cover you and your spouse–not tied to your mortgage, you enjoy portable coverage that won’t be changed or cancelled and the benefits are paid directly to your family. So instead of taking the easy route and building lenders’ insurance into your mortgage payments, consider flexible coverage you control–build personal insurance coverage into your personal budget. Talk to your professional advisor to find the right mortgage, and other insurance protection, for you. 1CIA 86-92 Aggregate Table & 1985 Commissioner’s Disability Table A (Experience Table) This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

Employees from Salmon Arm Safeway celebrating results of the June campaign.

Thank you! You made a difference

Safeway employees, customers and the Canada Safeway Foundation raised

$1,447,769 during the month of June for research in the fight against prostate cancer. Funds raised from the June, 2013 campaign will support scientists and clinicians at the Vancouver Prostate Centre. This team of some of the brightest research minds in Canada has been studying the molecular and cellular events involved in the process whereby cancers become resistant to hormone withdrawal therapy of prostate cancer patients. They have found that a protein called the “androgen receptor” is critical for this type of treatment resistance and that by eliminating this protein they can cause many tumours to die. Recently, they have had an exciting breakthrough discovery of an entirely new class of drugs that can effectively inhibit, and in some cases, eliminate this protein. With the support of Prostate Cancer Canada and Safeway, they can continue to focus exclusively on further developing this promising research. On behalf of the research community, thank you for helping in the fight against prostate cancer.

Food truck vendor wants city to get on bandwagon By martha Wickett oBSeRVeR STAFF

Stewart Fells and his spouse Kristen dreamed for more than a decade of creating a mobile food vending unit and following the music festival circuit with it. However, once their food truck, Hungry Panda Curbside Noodles, was up and running, they received lots of feedback encouraging them to stay in town. They decided to give it a try – but that’s when things got complicated – and time-consuming. While Fells says he has been very impressed by the cooperation he’s received from city staff such as Stephanie Gibb and Marcel Bedard, he thinks the rules could be improved. Currently, downtown is blocked out with certain fixed areas where vendors are allowed – he’s been informed there are nine spots downtown. The price to rent them is very low, he says – $150 per year, and he’s been told that to secure

a spot, it must be used just one day per month. However, he finds the restrictions severe. The vendor spots are available only for carts designed to be moved by human power. He notes that food trucks are prolific in Calgary and Vancouver and, ideally, he’d like to see a whole street of truck vendors in Salmon Arm. He says it would be a draw for tourists. Regarding the concerns of owners of established restaurants who worry that vending trucks, which don’t have the overhead such as property taxes that they do, will take away their business, Fells says he thinks they’re targeting different customers. But he would be interested in starting a dialogue with the city and merchants downtown to come up with a consensus. He also learned while trying to find a spot for his truck that there are only a few private prop-

erties in Salmon Arm zoned to support food vending trucks. “There are quite a few vacant lots in town that could benefit from some activity. I’m sure their owners might be happy...” Fells has secured a spot behind Centenoka Park Mall adjoining the Shuswap Farm & Craft Market site, where the Hungry Panda operates Monday through Friday. “I’m less concerned about myself; I’ve established where I’m going to be, but for other people coming in, food trucks are becoming a huge cultural movement. For Salmon Arm to just say no seems pretty limiting and not very forward thinking.” Carl Bannister, city administrator, said he hasn’t heard the issue being raised, although the city does occasionally hear from restaurant owners concerned about mobile food vendors in general. He acknowledged that two

kinds of regulations have been in place for years: sidewalk vendors with mobile carts that can be moved by human power, as well as concessions such as those at Ross Street Plaza and Fletcher Park. He said different concessions, like the ones at Canoe Beach or Blackburn Park, are leased to private operators. Bannister said Fells has a point and suggested he write a letter to council, as did Mayor Nancy Cooper.

Working to change: Taylor Schley is currently in treatment for alcoholism at a private facility in Tappen. His mother, Rita Beraro, right, is concerned about the lack of options for publicly funded alcohol rehab in the Interior. it is for social drinking to slide irrevocably into alcoholism. “It’s just drinking, it’s just boozing, I’m just having a couple, it’s (the need) not me,” he says of the attitude some have regarding their alcohol use. “It may not be you now, but it is you, and when it comes to a point when you can’t stop, there’s no turning back and it’s scary.” Beraro says her son needs to get rehab close to home and the two daughters Schley says mean the world to him. “He’s on a disability pension and the ministry doesn’t pay for a private facility,” Beraro says, noting sending her son to a publicly funded facility in the Lower Mainland is not an acceptable option in her mind. “I have a boy here who’s small-town and with all his issues, he needs to see his family and feel connected to be successful.” But sending people to the Coast is a temporary solution following the recent closure of Crossroads in Kelowna, says Randy Murray, IH director for Mental Health Substance Use Programs.

The Bridge, a 30-bed publicly funded rehab residence, will open Aug. 12 in Kelowna. An aboriginal treatment centre at Green Lake is also funded by IH. Murray says people in need of residential care normally get in quickly and, following their three-month stay, are connected to ongoing support in their own communities. After Aug. 12, anyone needing residential care for themselves or family members, may call 250-868-7788 and ask for an intake worker. In the meantime, Schley’s sixweek stay with 90-day follow-up treatment at the private facility is $13,800 plus tax. To help pay the fees, a benefit yard sale/silent auction and bottle drive will take place Saturday, July 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Downtown Activity Centre. Reps from the Canadian Mental Health Association will be there with information on drug and alcohol addiction. For more information on Saturday’s event and other fundraising opportunities, contact Beraro at rberaro@ shaw.ca.

Asking for help does not come easily to Rita Beraro. But the woman who spent her working years helping others, is fighting for her son Taylor Schley’s life. On Friday, the 31-year-old was in the intensive care unit at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, suffering from the effects of more than 15 years of alcoholism. Having gone through detox in June, Schley entered rehab July 2 at a private facility in Tappen because there is no publicly funded rehab facility in the B.C. Interior, something Interior Health says is a temporary situation. Unbeknownst to Beraro, Schley began experimenting with alcohol when he was 12, and drinking steadily by the time he was 16. At 18, Schley, who had moved out, phoned Beraro about 2 one morning, yelling at her and asking why she hadn’t told him he was an alcoholic. “I congratulated him for knowing that he had a problem and acknowledging it,” she said Friday. “It took him that many (15) years to get where he is today, and that is in ICU.” At home with his mom Sunday before heading back to rehab, Schley described himself as being terrified and “brain-scattered” from the recent episode that hospitalized him. “I think the way this has been going, it’s gonna work or I am going to die,” says Schley, who may have suffered brain damage from this latest episode. “I’ve done too much damage to my liver, it’s pretty much done for. The doctor looked at me and said, ‘I really think you should explore the options of a liver transplant.’” Schley, who has dropped some 50 pounds in the past couple of months, says in his “illustrious drinking days,” he would survive for three days on a diet of one grilled cheese sandwich and liquor. Admitting that alcohol was the solution he chose to deal with overwhelming anxiety, Schley offers a warning about how easy

A local graduate has picked up her diploma and a travel visa in the same month. Many grads might spend their first free year abroad looking to discover something they didn’t find at home or in school, but Stella Mozin will be giving just as much as she will be gaining. The 18-year-old left to volunteer in Nepal on July 12. She will spend two weeks teaching English in Kathmandu and another two weeks volunteering in

I’m going to university in the fall and I wanted to go to somewhere else for a change and get a different perspective on things in a foreign country.” Mozin will be attending the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus in September and plans to pursue either education or international relations.

Keep your old hydro meter, but for a fee By Tom Fletcher BlaCk PrESS

People who insist on refusing new wireless electrical meters can keep their old mechanical meter as long as it lasts, if they pay a monthly fee, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Thursday. Customers can keep their mechanical meters until they break down, their Measurement Canada accuracy seal expires or the customer relocates, the ministry said in a statement. The mechanical meter option is added to an earlier compromise with BC Hydro customers who still don’t have a digital smart meter, which transmits power consumption and status via radio signals. Customers can have a digital meter with its transmission function turned off, or keep their old meter, as long as they pay the cost of having the meter read manually.

provision should have been made available from the start, instead of rushing to meet the government’s artificial deadline to install smart meters, Horgan said.

BC Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter installations have been delayed due to customer requests, while 1.8 million or 96 per cent of customers now have

a functioning smart meter. Some people persist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, despite the fact

that the periodic meter signals represent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a mobile phone call. Bennett said mechanical or “analog”

meters are obsolete, and eventually every customer will have a smart meter, whether it is set to transmit or not. “Bear in mind, when somebody’s analog

meter wears out, stops working or comes to the end of its useful life, there are no analog meters to reinstall,” Bennett said. “You can’t buy them anywhere.”

for 6 months in a bundle.‡

Bill Bennett EnErgy ministEr Bennett said the cost of meter reading will be about $20 a month. Customers who accept a deactivated smart meter will also pay a fee of about $100 to have it adjusted. The fee to keep a mechanical meter will be higher, because it will require a separate system to manually record and bill for power consumption, Bennett said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased that the proposed fees will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission before being implemented. The opt-out

A rainy day didn’t seem to dampen the judges’ impression of Salmon Arm. The Communities in Bloom competition is a chance to showcase the city. This marks Salmon Arm’s first year in a competitive category that rates the city against other similar-sized communities. Communities get a bloom rating based on eight criteria: tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape, turf and ground covers, floral displays and com-

munity involvement. Brad Ackerman, the city’s supervisor of parks, led judges Teresa Williams and Don Alberg on an all-day tour of Salmon Arm on July 17. The day took them to Haney Heritage Park, CSRD landfill, Salmon Arm Cemetery, Blackburn Park, City Hall, McGuire Lake, SASCU Recreation Centre, Canoe Beach, downtown business district and more. They were able to catch the Lunch Box Stage music at the Ross Street Plaza and finish the day at Marine Park with Wednesday on the Wharf, showcasing Salmon

Arm’s lively arts culture. Alberg was impressed with the downtown revitalization and character, saying it showed a lot of forethought. “The vibrancy of downtown is spectacular,” he said. Williams was impressed with the floral displays, which included 320 hanging baskets, and said the tour had been amazing. “You’ve done an awesome job, you should be proud,” she said. Both judges also enjoyed the heritage buildings. Results and awards will be given out in October.

Stoked to get Spanked Heat was just another competitor for riders in the latest biking challenge. Salmon Arm racers headed to Revelstoke last weekend for Stoked to Get Spanked, hosted by Skookum Cycle and Ski. Expert riders took on two laps of the 17-kilometre course while sport riders did one. The race, which navigates trails at Mt. MacPherson, attracted 130 racers from B.C. and Alberta in categories from the Lil Spankies kids race to the elite adult categories. Unlike Salmon Arm’s Salty Dog Enduro, the Stoked to Get Spanked course is known for a faster finish. “They were out there having fun,” said Tom Peasgood, Skookum Cycle co-owner, adding that everyone did well. Most of the racers from Salmon Arm were in the sport category. The adults began the race at 10 a.m. on Sunday with a mass start with the younger age groups following later. Racers had to battle the 30-degree heat, which was a factor as the racers had to stay hydrated to avoid cramping up. Locally, John Connor raced in the 34km men’s elite, ages 18-29 category, finishing fourth in 2:28:21 minutes. He finished 17th overall out of the 38 riders in the elite categories. “He was in tough because he has some pretty good competition in that category,” said Peasgood. Vicki maurer photos

Sharing sport with the world By Martha Wickett

Lipsett named head coach Salmon Arm’s Cathy Lipsett has been selected as head coach for BC Ringette’s 2015 Canada Winter Games Team BC program. Lipsett, who was an assistant coach for BCRA’s 2011 Canada Winter Games program, is a long-time member of BC Ringette and brings a wealth of experience to the position. She is a former association volunteer with Shuswap Ringette and a regional high performance coach with the Thompson-Okanagan Ringette League. Most recently she served as an assistant coach with the BC Thunder of the National Ringette League and was a member of the Thunder bench staff when the team captured B.C.’s first national championship in 2012. The Canada Winter Games will be held in Prince George from Feb. 13 to March 1, 2015.

ted triumph The first half of Ted United vs NOU on July 16 showed United using the field well. United’s wingers received great build-up passes from defenders Heather Rolin and Krista Yonker enabling United to get a goal in the first five minutes of play. NOU was able to answer back with a goal of their own but from there on it was all United. Two more quick goals gave United a comfortable lead. Linda Yawney made an amazing save on a NOU breakaway to keep the score at one for the opposing team. One more key save was made for United, this time by defender Brier Cadden making a goal line toe save, much to the frustration of NOU. Referee Kevin Harrison showed great composure in addressing an overly assertive NOU coach, having to stop the game until the coach left the field. Once play resumed, United found the net once more with Tricia Martin firing a cracker of a shot just off the 18-yard mark. The final score 4-1.

OBSERVER STAFF

Tricia Martin and Irene Cultum first played soccer together nearly 30 years ago. With the impetus of the upcoming World Masters Games, they could well be playing together for another two or three decades. Martin, from Salmon Arm, and Cultum, a Vancouver resident, first played together in 1984 at UBC. For the past 17 years they’ve been running the Girls Only soccer school in Salmon Arm. Cultum plays soccer with the Meralomas in Vancouver and, in 2002, the team decided to go to the World Masters Games in Melbourne, Australia. Martin joined them. They had a fabulous time, not only playing soccer – where they claimed the championship – but also basking in the camaraderie that permeates the Games. In 2005, for the World Masters Games in Edmonton, a more local team was formed, mostly with players from Kamlops, Vernon, Kelowna and Salmon Arm. Martin and Salmon Arm’s Cathy Bartsch organized that one. “It’s great to meet people from all around the world, doing the same sport you all love,” says Bartsch. The 2013 Games, which are being held in Torino, Italy, are coming up Aug. 2 to 11. The Worlds’ website describes the Games as “the summer games for sportspeople and

enthusiasts aged to 100 and beyond.” Participants are men and women over 30 who compete in different sports from track and field to soccer, from basketball to archery. Different levels of competition and age groups means participants can find people at their level for competition. The BC United team, as the partially local soccer team is called, went to the Games in Sydney, Australia in 2009. Although soccer was the spark – the team won all its games but missed the championship title because of a goalsagainst rule – travel and friendship were, and are, just as important. “You meet so many people,” says Martin. “Everyone’s so friendly and wants to know what your sport is, how you’re involved.” Cultum notes that friendships made at the Games endure, with participants often travelling to see each other between Games. Kevin Flynn, who is married to Bartsch, is also heading to Torino to compete. His sport – basketball. This will be his third World Masters Games. The first was in Edmonton, where he went as an individual and joined up with a team from Ireland. In Sydney in 2009, some of the Irish lads were in an older group, so Flynn and his friend Brian Laight formed a new team. Many of the men have connections stretching way back.

Kelly, Cathy Bartsch and Tricia Martin are heading off to Italy with their BC United soccer team for the World Masters Games. “We’re really a bunch of guys who have known each other for years but don’t see each other much,” Flynn says, noting he’s known several since the days he played with them at UBC. The team includes a medical doctor, a chiropractic doctor and a veterinarian, he smiles, “so any of our health needs can be attended.” Flynn, not obviously a basketball player at five. ft eight ins, says he’s a good, steady point guard, “but what I’m really good at is organizing teams, getting good players around me. Can I set the world on fire? No. Can I play a decent role? Yes.” Although the team is pretty competitive,

off to Italy: Kevin Flynn and Brian Laight are members of a nine-man team which will be playing basketball at the World Masters Games. “honestly, the Games are about the camaraderie and friendships...,” Flynn says. “We have an open invite to Australia, we

have an open invite to Ireland. To me, that’s what these Games are about. Staying active, staying fit, and making friends through sport.”

Heat plays role in challenging bike race Continued from A17 “Same with the 30plus category, it was pretty tough too and it was a hot day, so it was harder than normal on that course.” Richard English finished 13th overall and 10th in the men’s elite, 30-49 category, with a finish time of 2:26:42. Pat Ladyman fin-

ished second in the 17-kilometre men’s sport, 18-29 category and 11th overall out of the 20 riders in the sport categories. In the men’s sport, 30-49 category, Keith Hepburn finished third and fourth overall at 1:23:04, Robert Van Varseveld finished seventh and eighth overall at 1:28:51, Ray Mills finished ninth and 10th

Roots & Blues fans follow festival trails By Jessica Klymchuk OBSERVER STAFF

or the Roots and Blues Festival junkies that can’t get enough, Routes and Blues will keep you entertained up until the main event. This year’s pre-festival lineup features eight stops within the Shuswap, featuring music, the outdoors and fine cuisine. Organizers promise a unique Shuswap experience. “I hope to see happy faces at the events,” said Nina Reichle, a summer intern from Germany and member of the event support crew. Reichle hopes to see lots of interaction between tourists and the locals, noting the crew has tried to inspire nostalgic vibes with the intimate community hall concerts. And community involvement has spawned unique presentations at each stop. “I really like that the communities are small, but they have big hearts,” said Reichle. Routes and Blues kicks off Friday, Aug. 2 with Shred Kelly at the Malakwa Community Centre. The six-piece band claims to turn banjo doubters into sweaty indie, folk rock believers. Start the day with a hike in Yard Creek Provincial Park with the Shuswap Trail Alliance. Notch Hill Hall hosts hailed blues

singer and harp player Sherman Doucette on Aug. 3. The Trail Alliance hike will feature turtle spotting with local naturalist Trish Wallensteen at White Lake’s John Evdokimoff Park. Five Alarm Funk will be in Falkland Aug. 4 at the village hall. The band plans to turn the hall into a dancer’s paradise with their 10-person, horn-powered and percussionfilled performance. The morning walking tour of Falkland is dubbed “A Blast of History” and starts at the Falkland Community Centre. Routes fans will venture to Kingfisher on Aug. 9 for No Sinner. The Vancouver-based rock ’n’ roll quartet will be at the community hall for an evening of entertainment. Explore Kingfisher Interpretive Centre and nature trail earlier in the day for “Groovin’ with the Salmon.” Aug. 10 brings Current Swell and a Million Dollars in Pennies to Seymour Arm. Current Swell is a five-piece band from Victoria with a blues, roots, folk rock mash-up, while local favourites a Million Dollars in Pennies combine two voices and two instruments for their storytelling acoustic vibe. The power and presence of water will be featured in the “Wild Waterfall Pilgrimage” hike at Albas Falls Provincial Park prior to the concert.

Passion triggers TV show

Reality: Skill and respect for nature will be the focus. By Jessica Klymchuk OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm residents might recognize a face on the new TV show Trigger Effect. Dean Trumbley appears on the hunting and fishing show, which aired Canada-wide on Wild TV on July 1. It’s also being aired throughout the world on The Hunting Channel Online based out of the United States. It will be seen in more than 11 million households in Canada alone. “I am excited to showcase our beautiful province and most importantly the North Okanagan where I grew up,” said Trumbley. “I am not just fulfilling a dream of my own but carrying on a legacy of my family, especially my grandfather Smokey Trumbley who had a real passion for the outdoors.” Smokey was an outdoor columnist in the ’70s and ’80s. Dean has always been in touch with the outdoors, and he says it’s just something he grew up with. He’s a registered professional biologist at Salmon Arm’s Silvatech Consulting Ltd. he works with wildlife and fisheries on daily as the environmental team lead. Knowledge of nature runs in his blood. As diehard watchers of hunting TV, Dean and his partners Kent Michie and Gary Ducommun came up with the concept of Trigger Effect. He calls it their brain child. “We talked about how we were getting tired of the cookie-cutter approach to those shows,” he said. “There’s a lot more to hunting and fishing than just killing something and putting it on the wall.” As biologists and guides themselves, they decided they could produce something with a largely educational foundation, while encouraging people to spend time outdoors with family and friends.. Dean also talks about getting youth involved and using hunting and fishing as a positive aspect in their lives, as an alternative to video games. The show focuses on hunting and fishing throughout the world with a main focus on B.C. Many of the episodes are filmed within driving

Heritage: Dean Trumbley was brought up in a family that loved the outdoors and views his show as a type of legacy. distance of the North Okanagan. Season one will feature 13 episodes that cover outdoor adventures in B.C., Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Zealand. Along with the classic guide to hunting styles, there is a biology aspect that provides knowledge of species behaviour and wildlife management. The show also includes a traditionalist component as two of the men are Métis. “We show other uses than just meat,” said Dean. “We show those kinds of things that show other aspects of the harvest, it does clothing and art and medicine and all those things.” After two years of working on getting the show up and running Dean said it was strange to finally see it on television. He lost both his father and grandfather before the show aired, so he says it was fulfilling to see it come together as a type of legacy. The passion they tapped into was something they wanted to share with the world and he’s happy to have been able to do that for them – even if they weren’t around to see it for themselves. “To finally see it on national television was a little surreal.”

To raise funds the band offered fans a chance to buy personalized love songs and videos, private meals cooked and served by the band, spanish lessons, homemade cookies, full house/apartment cleaning, and car washes by the band (in jean cut offs, no less). For the right price you could even own band member Jack o’brien’s moustache. The album serves up a sizzling combination of rock ‘n’ roll musicianship, the r&b-infused album was an incredible success – boasting solid songwriting, inspirational harmonies and just the right amount of sexy, gritty, southern

Childcare Available

Alan was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan to parents Wilbur George and Dorothy Stewart Durr. He was raised on a farm just a few miles south of the small town of Bromhead and like most prairie kids he played hockey and baseball, rode his horses and loved being around machinery. Alan also loved music and played with a few bands including The Gold Teens and Canadian Crescendos and later with The Chaparrals in Williams Lake, B.C. In 1968 he married Jennifer (Janie) Helgerson. The couple lived in Williams Lake until 1973 and then returned to the farm. Alan also owned a cattle liner which kept him busy and helped subsidize the farm during the dry years. Always wanting to see new places and try other occupations Alan, Janie and their three children moved to Kamloops in 1990. He had an excavating business, purchased All Points Bus Charters and worked at a variety of jobs that included driving trucks, dispatching, equipment operator on a variety of projects including ‘The Sea To Sky Highway.’ In 2008 he and Janie moved to Blind Bay to semi retire but Alan continued to work. He was always ready to try something new as long as it included machinery and one of his last jobs was gold mining in the Yukon. Family and friends were the most important to Alan. He passed his life long love of music to his children. He was happiest out on his boat, in his shop or just sitting around a campfire passing the time of day with new friends or old. Alan is survived by his wife Janie. Three children: son, Jay Durr (Deb Porter), Daughter Alison Durr (Allen Radford) and son John Durr. Two grandchildren Thomas Alan Durr and Hannah Jean Durr, a sister Dolly (Cordell) Sandquist from Cobble Hill B.C. as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents and one brother Merton. Special thanks to the Salmon Arm Community Nursing, Canadian Cancer Society, Dr. Francois Malan and the wonderful people at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, The Marjorie W. Snowden Hospice or the charity of your choice would be appreciated. A celebration of Alan’s life will be held on July 27, 2013 at the Parkside Lounge located inside the Interior Savings Centre at 2:00 PM. All are welcome to join us and share your fond memories of “Big Al”. At the end of one’s life perhaps the truest measure of that man is not in having amassed all the trappings of wealth but rather in the number of people that call him Friend. Good bye for now A.J.
