Police are now calling the death of a Sicamous man an accident, though criminal charges have been laid against a Sicamous woman. On the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 14, at approximately 2:30, an officer on patrol found the severely injured body of 49-year-old Troy

Action show
n The Salmar Grand Theatre was closed before it could open Tuesday, Aug. 20. Firefighters from Hall 2 and 3 responded to a grease fire in a popcorn kettle just before 6 p.m. The fire was quickly put out with a small extinguisher and firefighters used a large fan to ventilate the theatre. But Fire Chief Brad Shirley says with the smell of smoke and burnt grease in the air, Salmar management decided to close the theatre for the evening. Fire officials will investigate the cause of the fire. The theatre was open for business the next day.
Mayor pumped over gas prices By Lachlan Labere
marKET NEwS STaff
Shuswap politicians are buying into a movement to pursue regional parity at the gas pump. Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper says she will advocate on behalf of the local chamber and Shuswap businesses who believe high
gas prices, compared to those in neighbouring communities, are having a negative impact. “I would certainly give them all my support on this gas pricing issue,” says Cooper. “There’s a little place at Mara, and it’s at 131.9 (per litre), and Salmon Arm is 138.9, and I’m thinking in this remote
place here, they can actually have it seven cents cheaper than Salmon Arm. It doesn’t make sense to me.” The chamber is hoping to bring Salmon Arm prices in line with neighbouring communities such as Enderby and Vernon. Cooper, however, envisions a more regional
approach, that would include Sicamous and possibly other communities in the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. Cooper says Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton has already expressed interest in pursuing the issue and that she also plans on speaking with Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo.
Alcohol said to be a factor in fatality Continued from front Dubnyk says the patrolling officer had turned onto Main Street from Highway 97A and, while heading down Main Street, the officer witnessed a ve-
hicle driven by Laforge travelling in the same lane towards him. The officer slowed down to a stop as the oncoming vehicle pulled into the correct lane in to pass. Preparing to stop the oncoming driver for a sobriety check, the of-
ficer noticed a person lying on the road. Dubnyk said the officer got out of his vehicle to check the person’s condition. Meanwhile, Laforge had stopped half a block down the road and walked back to engage the officer.
Alcohol has been determined as a factor in this incident. Police continue to investigate, and ask that anyone with any related information contact the local detachment at 250-8362878 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Festival scores huge high-five By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Great entertainment, weather and behaviour added up to another stellar Roots and Blues Festival – and another 1,000 in attendance over last year. Folk Music Society board chair Lody Kieken said organizers were pleased with the 26,000 in attendance over three days. “It was a heck of an accomplishment considering tourism is down in general, the flooding in Calgary and the cost of gas,” he said, noting that while there had been concerns about weather, even mother nature co-operated. A wind event with gusts as high as 85 km/h late Sunday afternoon knocked over some colourful privacy boards atop a fence near the west gate and sent some lawn chairs and food flying. But the wind died down, the music ramped up and the festival continued without further weather worries. Saluting festival artistic director Hugo Rampen’s programming, Kieken says performers often express surprise at the wide variety of music and the energy of the crowds. “Every year I think it can’t get better, and every year it does,” he says. The police beat was a quiet one. Kieken says the RCMP did arrest one individual on-site Friday night but he was well-known to police.
Off-site, police activity related to the festival was a bit more interesting. At 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, a male with a guitar was intoxicated on Highway 97B. The man from Victoria told police he wished to be placed in the drunk tank so that he could post it on his Facebook account. Police obliged and lodged the man until he was sober. Alcohol fuelled an incident Saturday as well, when a 22-year-old woman was arrested for intoxication on Second Avenue SE. “At the time of her arrest the female was bottomless,” says RCMP Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane’s report. “The female was lodged until sober and released with clothing.” Police snagged three more people in a Counter-attack operation Friday night. On a musical note, a tired but relaxed Rampen, was taking a break backstage Sunday. Very pleased with this year’s event, he gave credit to dedicated festival staff and volunteers, programming and excellent audiences. “They’re professional, detail-oriented, conscientious and they take their jobs seriously,” he said, lavishing praise on staff. “There’s an excellent vibe and I think our ticket sales have been fairly good too.” High on his list of presenters and the reception they were given by the Friday-night crowd was Corvus Corax.

“People were blown away by the spectacle,” he said, praising audiences that performers like Shakura S’Aida credited with feeding energy back to the stage. Rampen was also pleased with the festival’s growing outreach programs. “Since Aug. 1, we have brought music to the Shuswap on such a broad geography,” he said, adding that he expanded the opportunities for local artists to perform as buskers at the festival in order to showcase the talent making music on the local scene and beyond. While festivalgoers who don’t favour one genre can move on to another stage, Rampen believes giving unfamiliar music a chance is one of the greatest opportunities the festival provides. “I’ve seen seniors digging beatboxers, etc,” says Rampen with a grin. “The moral is, if you’re a festival director and you want to play it safe all the time, you won’t grow the festival or the audience.”

We all play a role in fighting wildfires
Huge crowds lined Highway 97 and adjacent roads Monday to watch the giant plume of smoke hanging over the Greater Vernon landfill Monday. It was an impressive sight as air tankers, helicopters and ground crews ensured the wind-fed blaze didn’t evolve into something larger, particularly given that this week is the 10th anniversary of the Kelowna firestorm. But hopefully residents took home more than just the thrill of the action. “Cooler temperatures and cloudier conditions have not reduced the fire danger rating which remains high across the region,” said Michaela Swan, Wildfire Management Branch communications officer. The grasslands are tinder-dry and something as seemingly innocuous as a spark from an all-terrain vehicle or a lawn mower can ignite a blaze. The same can also be said for a cigarette butt carelessly tossed aside. Just recently, the Wildfire Management Branch expressed concern that some people are still igniting campfires, despite there being a complete ban on provincial lands as well as in all municipalities and the regional district. Campfires may be a tradition once the sun goes down, but they can also cause significant damage if not extinguished properly. It is incumbent on all of us — homeowners, recreationalists, tourists and commercial/industrial operations — to work as a team just as multi-jurisdictional agencies did during Monday’s landfill fire. Follow the rules and immediately report any fires. It is only through co-operation and looking at the big picture that we can prevent disasters such as the one Kelowna is remembering. -Vernon Morning Star

My heart would be too heavy
When there’s a hint of an autumn wind in the air – you know, the kind that makes the leaves begin to rustle, that sends a shiver right through you, and there is talk of salmon starting to turn up in the streams – I have, for the better part of 30 years, packed my gear and headed to the runs and riffles of one of several rivers in the Lower Mainland. There I’d cast my line to the salmon that were beginning to make their way to the spawning grounds. With the coming of each new autumn and each new salmon season, I have responded to some sort of primordial stir within me. For many years now I have looked forward to standing on the banks of the river, breathing in the cool crisp morning air, feeling the sun on my face, looking around at all the autumn colours and enjoying that sense of camaraderie that comes with standing there and casting a line with fellow anglers – sharing with them the experience that so many other anglers have shared before me. There has always been a
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray connection with the river. Whether I caught fish or not, I felt good just being there on its bank. The hours spent there always gave me time to both reflect on the past and contemplate the future. Things always seemed to make sense when I was out on the river. Complicated problems become simpler and, well, others things just seemed to fall into place. When I’m on the river, casting a line, the burdens of life are lifted from my shoulders. I’m able to leave my worries behind. As for catching fish, I have never really cared whether I catch anything or not. Having said that, when I do have a fish on, every-
thing else disappears from my mind. All I care about is the moment. For a few brief yet special, electrically-charged and exhilarating minutes, it’s just me and the fish – the eternal struggle of predator and prey. For a little while I can get away from everything and everyone - away from all the sounds and hustle and bustle and pressures of every day life. It’s hard to express a feeling like that in words, especially for someone who has never experienced fighting a wild salmon. If you understand what I’m saying, you already know. If you don’t, you never will. All I know for sure is that when I am standing kneedeep in the fast flowing waters of a river or stream somewhere, casting a line to a possible fish out there, I’m happy and I’m content. And, when I’m tied into a bright, shiny, silver, 10lb., spring-run salmon, or a winter-run steelhead, my heart starts pounding – my life’s blood begins to rush through my veins and I feel truly alive.
But something has changed – something inside of me. There simply are not the fish in the rivers that there used to be. And the sad thing is I don’t really see them coming back any time soon. Maybe not even in my lifetime. I’ve lost faith in our government to do anything about it and I know there is no sport in catching fish that are on the brink of extinction. Nor is there any significance to a ceremony that honours what use to be –not when you could have done something about preventing its passing. So, when the autumn winds begin to blow and this year’s salmon season comes around, I don’t think I’ll be heading off to the Lower Mainland. I won’t be taking my place along the bank or casting my line. I don’t even think I could even stand off in the distance somewhere and watch. My heart would be too heavy. My thoughts would be too sad. I will but wonder if the salmon are ever going to come back.

Why the Belle Game? Each year, prior to Roots and Blues, my co-workers and I are tasked to choose performers we’d like to interview at the festival. This, for me, involves a bit of musical exploration, where I dip into the offerings of musicians I’m not familiar with and see what strikes my fancy. And sometimes I uncover something that does much more. Such as the song, River. While I have a soft-spot for younger, sometimes lesser-known acts – especially when they’re from my hometown of Vancouver, I chose the Belle Game because of this track from the band’s first LP, Ritual Tradition Habit, released this year. With its rich, melancholic mix of guitars and synth, provided by Adam Nanji, Alex Andrew and Katrina Jones, juxtaposed with the deep-rooted soul of lead singer Andrea Lo’s vocals, the song, for me, is a warm aural embrace. Due to time constraints on Sunday, the

That said, there’s much more going on in Ritual Tradition Habit, and the small but appreciative audience seemed to dig it. And the feeling was mutual. “This festival is just the best, most wellrun festival we’ve ever played. The music is diverse, they treat everyone – whether you’re us playing at noon or City and Colour headlining the whole thing – just

the same,” said Nanji. “The people have been so nice. It’s just miles above the other ones.” While the Belle Game’s sound may not scream Salmon Arm Roots and Blues, Nanji assures the band shares similar roots with the festival. “It fits in between the lines a little bit,” he says with a laugh. “Especially at this (festival), they’ve got a lot of traditional stuff and they’ve got a lot of stuff kind of left of centre, and I think roots and
blues is something that we kind of grew up on and is buried deep in our tunes. What that means to us is still there, it’s just a different version of it.” The band was grateful for their Salmon Arm experience, and said they would love to return, ideally in a more intimate, theatre-style venue, “with an option to dance.” Or, in my case, sit back and become blissfully enveloped in the Belle Game’s river of sound.

South ShuSwap Artists to show Related Styles By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
Chase artists will be heading to the South Shuswap to show off their skills and sell some of their wares. Artists and sistersin-law, Judy Coutts and Judy Mackenzie will be holding an art show at the newly-opened Reedman Gallery this weekend, and they are inviting all art lovers to come get a sneak peak of what they have been working on. The event is open to all ages and will be taking place in the new gallery located in the lower level of the Blind Bay Hall. This location has
been set up to specially display artwork, and will ensure that those attending will get a real treat. Judy Coutts, a former local girl, grew up in Carlin and now calls Rosedale her home. She paints primarily in oils and watercolours, and chooses to portray animals, birds, and assorted wildlife, flowers and landscapes. While she enjoys creating many creatures, though horses have come to be her speciality. Judy Mackenzie, who is married to Judy Coutts’ brother John, lives in Chase. There she owns and operates
the home-based business Magpie Gallery, where her work is presented. Mackenzie’s medium of choice is acrylic, and she paints predominantly local landscapes, including wild flowers, water and animals. Their upcoming art show, called Related Styles, is being held this Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 24 and 25, and will feature a selection of their best new works. Anyone wanting more information on the event, the artists, or available artwork for sale can contact Judy Mackenzie at 250-6795425.
Currently, the South Shuswap library branch is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Tuesdays, and Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Anyone who would like to contribute to the plans are asked to drop

South Shuswap seniors at Games While the Shuswap has gained a growing reputation for its talented artists, it is also home of a number of skilled athletes. The BC Senior Games kicked off Wednesday, and with it a number of Shuswap residents began competing for their chance to win gold. Blind Bay sent three athletes to Kamloops to compete in the Men and Women’s 55+ event during the dragon boat races: Lizabeth Hamer, Thom Hewitt and John Thornbury. Laster McInally has been representing Sorrento in the dragon boat races as well. He has been rowing his way to gold in the Men and Women’s 55+. Joining them is Tappen’s Heather Kennedy, who is also taking part in the Men and Women’s 55+. Blind Bay had two talented golfers representing the area: Donna Allison, who has spent her time competing in the Women’s 55 to 59, 0-24.3 Index, and Fred Horne in the Men’s 70 to 74, 0-20.00 Index.
Gloria Heinzman has also taken to the greens, showing just what kind of skills Sorrento golfers have. Heinzman has been competing in the Women’s 70 to 74, 24.4-40.4 Index event. Tappen’s Bill Jordan also joined the group and competes in the the Men’s 65 to 69, 0 to 20.0 Index event. Barry Davies has been showing of his stick-handling skills during the ice hockey competition. The Blind Bay athlete has been competing in the Men’s 65+ event. Joining Davies is Sorrento athlete Dennies LaClaire, who is also taking to the ice in the Men’s 65+ event. The Blind Bay waters must have given Linda MacPherson plenty of practice, as the spry athlete is competing in six events, the maximum number allowed at the games. MacPherson has been taking part in the Women;s 75 to 79 400-metre Freestyle event, the Women’s 75-79 200-metre Freestyle event, the Women’s 75-79 100-metre Freestyle event, the
Women’s 75 to 79 50-metre Freestyle event, the Women’s 75 to 79, 25-metre Butterfly event and the Women’s 75 to 79, 25-metre Freestyle event. Two Sorrento cyclists have taken the Senior Games challenge. Jean Jenks is cycling in three events this week, including Women’s 70 to 74 Time Trial Competitive, Women’s 70 to 74 Road Race, Competitive and Women’s 70 to 74 Hill Climb Competitive, and Mary Pakka is keeping herself busy in the Women’s 80 to 84 Time Trial Competitive, Women’s 80 to 84 Road Race, Competitive, and Women’s 80 to 84 Hill Climb Competitive. Sorrento Slo Pitch players, Margaret and Barry Stokes, have both been competing in the Men and Women’s 55+ Mixed event. Tappen’s Dick Zufelt will be joining the Sorrento crew as he competes in the Men’s 70+ event. W o l f g a n g
Heinzmann is one of the many representing Sorrento in a number of track and field events. Heinzmann has been racing his way to gold in the Men 75 to 79 5000 Metres event, the Men 75 to 79 100-metre event, and the Men’s 75 to 79 200-Metre event . Joining him is Paulette McKinnon, who is competing in the Women’s 60 to 54, 100-metre event, the Women’s 60 to 64 10-Kilometre Road Walk, the Women’s 60 to 64 Discus event and the Women’s 60 to 64 5000-metre Power Walk. James Roberts is also hitting the track in the Men’s 70 to 74 100-metre event, the Men’s 70 to 74 10-kilometre Road Walk event, the Men’s 70 to 74 5000-metre Power Walk event, the Men’s 70 to 74 Long Jump event and the Men’s 70 to 74 Javelin event.

Shedding pounds after 50 L
osing some weight is a goal for many people regardless of age. While youngsters and young adults might be able to get away with a few extra pounds without suffering any significant consequences, older adults carrying some extra weight might be putting their overall health at considerable risk. Shedding weight after the age of 50 is not always easy. As a person ages, muscle mass tends to dwindle while body fat has a tendency to increase. Since fat burns fewer calories than muscle, weight gain as a person ages is bound to happen. But that doesn’t mean such weight gain is inevitable. In fact, men and women willing to make certain changes with regard to diet and exercise can shed pounds after 50 while preventing future weight gain. Diet Men and women need fewer calories as they age. For example, men and women in their 40s may need as many as 200 calories more per day than they will when they reach their 50s. Counting calories might seem difficult, so men and women in their 50s and older who don’t think they can count calories can try to eat more low-calorie foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Consuming fewer calories often requires changing dietary habits,

Naturopathic Physician 1223 Trans Canada Highway, Sorrento ( Just below the dentist)
250-675-0063 Muscle-strengthening activities, including yoga, can help men and women over 50 lose weight and keep the weight off. not only with regard to what you’re eating but also how you’re eating and even how you shop for food. Men and women used to dining out for lunch every day can start bringing their own lunches so they can gain greater control of their daily caloric intake. For those who find they’re frequently too exhausted to cook each night, they can prepare meals in advance to have healthy, homemade meals waiting instead of always ordering takeout or delivery. When shopping for food, people should avoid doing so on an empty stomach so they’re less inclined to buy unhealthy snacks.
Exercise Exercise is another essential component to shedding pounds after 50, though men and women over 50 should always consult a physician before they begin a new exercise regimen. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention points out that regular exercise can help older men and women prevent the onset of a host of ailments, including heart disease and diabetes. In addition, the CDC notes that regular physical activity as one ages helps muscles grow stronger, which increases the chances that an individual will be able to perform necessary daily activities without the assistance of others. Maintaining that
independence into older adulthood is a goal for many men and women, and it’s a goal that’s far more realistic for men and women who exercise than it is for those who don’t. When coupled with a healthy, low-calorie diet, routine exercise can help men and women over 50 shed extra weight and keep the weight off once it’s gone. According to the CDC, older adults need at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, every week and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 more days a week. These musclestrengthening activities should work all the major muscle groups, includ-
ing the legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms. Musclestrengthening activities include lifting weights, working out with resistance bands, exercise such as push-ups and situps that use body weight for resistance, and yoga. Even gardening that involves digging and shoveling can be considered a muscle-strengthening activity. Weight gain is often an expected side effect of aging. But men and women don’t have to gain weight as they get older. Some simple dietary changes and a commitment to routine exercise is all it takes to shed weight after 50 and keep that weight off once it’s gone.

Canoe mill gets timber increase By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAff
Canoe Forest Products is one of seven companies in the Okanagan timber supply area to be granted an increase in their harvest levels. The company will see an increase of about three per cent, an amount that translates into about 10 production days in the plywood mill. “We didn’t get as much as we wanted but every little bit helps,” says woods manager Mike Johnson, who notes the 158,736 cubic metres per year over the next three years is less than the companies requested. Johnson notes the seven biggest forest companies in the Interior are members of the non-profit Okanagan Innovative Forestry Society, who applied for the increase based on innovative forestry practices that have seen forests growing back faster than expected. This increase does not affect the allowable annual cut for the Okanagan timber supply area, which remains unchanged at 3.1 million cubic metres. Johnson says the increased supply is coming from unallocated timber reserves in the Okanagan Timber Supply Area and is not as large an increase as the
company had wanted. A Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations media release notes the increase was awarded following a review of the application, forestry plan, timber supply analysis, and consideration of public and First Nations input.
“Planned innovative forestry practices, such as ongoing inventory work, supported the increase to the individual licences,” said the July 26 release. The seven affected licensees are: StellaJones Canada Inc., Canoe Forest Products Ltd., Gorman Bros.
Lumber Ltd., Louisiana-Pacific Canada Ltd., Selkirk Timber Company, Tolko Industries Ltd., and Weyerhaeuser Company Ltd. The agreement area covers approximately 2.25 million hectares within the Okanagan timber supply area.

Taking tea time to your gardens Gaia GardeninG Margo Westaway
About 20 years ago, I took a harrowing night ride down to the Coast in the middle of winter with my two fellow gardening friends, and in order to take our minds off the tension and terror of that trip, we kicked around the idea of starting a business selling manure teas in little tea bags. Some of the crazy names we came up with were Turkey Turd Tea, Llama Bean Tea, Chickpee Tea, Barn Apple Tea, Moo-Poo Tea, Donkey Dung Tea and a Blue Chip Special Blend – just to name a few. We were giggling and laughing so much that those six hours of blinding blizzard blessedly passed quickly, and we still have a good teahee about it to this day. But in hindsight, maybe we should have poured our time into the “Tea Time with Turds” biz, because using the extracts of excrement, as well as compost, plant and other teas, is all part of the greengarden movement, which is not only shifting away from chemical fertilizers and eliminating the use of toxic herbicides and pesticides, but to start digging into nature’s powerful toolbox. These loaded liquids, used both on soils and as foliar sprays, are used to: revitalize damaged and dead soils by increasing good microbial populations to break down organic matter; potentially adding biodiversity to your soil; can be used as natural inoculants to suppress disease; are excellent for more nutrient-based foods by cheaply increasing the quality, yield and health of plants and soil; allows nutrients to become
more readily available to plants through the soil, stems and leaves; is inexpensive and simple to make; spreads farther than compost; is great for shoulder and growing seasons; can’t be overused and plays an essential role in the transition to organic practices. What’s important to remember and understand is that each field, garden and natural ecosystem is unique with respect to microclimate, soil, biological diversity, amounts of organic matter, water conditions, etc. and our goal as gardeners and farmers is always to support ecosystem processes and health. Most living organisms are able to produce most of the vitamins they require in a healthy, biologically diverse soil ecosystem, so increasing the biological activity in the soil is our number-one priority by maintaining a diverse amount of nutrients to feed the soil food web and let nature do it’s
thing, rather than us trying to figure out what it needs and doesn’t need. Remember, just because something is “organic” doesn’t mean it’s harmless. Ecosystem balance is always key and just like in our bodies, too much of one thing can be detrimental or toxic rather than beneficial. Microbial extracts (or leachates), teas and brews can be loosely divided into two main groups: a) compost, soil, and plant extracts and b) specific microbial cultures. “Compost tea” is a loosely used term and applied to many different kinds of brews. Many plant extracts contain powerful organic or chemical substances, which have been used by mankind in the preparation of food, medicine, pest control, bio-stimulants, fertilizers and a source of plant hormones. When making any kind of these teas, use water from rain, ponds or streams if you can because household wa-
ter from a municipal source has chlorine in it, which of course kills microbes. If not easily available, fill your bucket and leave the water sit overnight to let the chemical off-gas or aerating it for approximately 30 minutes. Compost and other plant teas are usually fed to the roots of your plants, so simply water into the soil. Foliar feeding can also be done and the helpful microbes and bacteria in the tea aid in fighting off viruses, fungi, pests and diseases. Teas can be used as frequently as you wish, but it’s especially effective in the shoulder seasons. The best time of the day to apply the tea is in the early morning and evening to avoid the killer UV rays, rapid evaporation or chance of burning the leaves. Also, keep your garden properly watered so the microbes, like all living things, can stay alive to do their important jobs. Unfortunately there’s never enough space to
really get into the nittygritty, so this topic will be stretched into two columns to cover as much ground as I can. In the meantime, enjoy your own cuppa.

PERRIN, ERNEST “ERNIE” June 27, 1921 - August 5, 2013 Ernie Perrin played his last game of Keno in the early morning of August 5th, 2013 at the age of 92. Born in Natal, BC, a coal mining town near Sparwood, Dad was 4th of nine children born to Dominico and Mary (Ademsky) Perrin and lived through the depression. Dad served in the Navy during WWII, then worked for Mac & Blo Mill at the foot of Kerr St. in Vancouver for 42 years. After retirement, he and Mom spent days fishing, rock-hunting, camping and going to Reno. As well, they always had time for the grandkids. Marpole, Surrey, Richmond, Cloverdale, Steveston were places he called home. He came to Salmon Arm to be close to family and care for his wife, Mollie in her last stage of Alzheimer’s. Dad was often seen walking up Okanagan Ave. or in Little Mountain Park with Bud the dog. Lucky’s in Centenoka Mall, Matchbox or Carrie’s Restaurant were his favourite places to hang out, play Keno and chat with people. He leaves to mourn; son Douglas Perrin, daughter Cindy (Dick) McLeod, grandson Dan (Leah) Broadwood of Calgary, granddaughter Angela (Rob) Wilson of Enderby as well as seven great grandchildren; Will, Nate and Hailey Wilson and Adam, Tyson, Katie and Sarah Broadwood. No service by request. Thank you to the staff at Bastion Place Transition Unit for their care of dad and the family.

Proponents of local purchasing as a means for increased economic impact argue that local companies spend a greater portion of the revenue they receive back in the local economy. They circulate more to local labour, suppliers, owners, and charities. In turn, these employees, suppliers and owners spend that money on goods and services they need, some of which comes from locally owned businesses as well. This is the essence of an economic multiplier, which measures how much money injected into an economy is recirculated within that economy. An analogy often used to exemplify this is a leaky bucket. The bucket represents a local economy where money flows into the economy through exports and investment. Money leaks out by acquiring goods and services from outside the local economy. This openness is absolutely essential for a healthy economy and not under dispute. The more outflows that can be plugged, by producing goods and services locally, the slower money leaves the economy,

resulting in more local jobs, income, and community wealth. Local economies do compete with each other for jobs, income and tax revenue. Rather than supporting existing or new local businesses, economic developers sometimes offer incentives to large, non-local corporations to attract them into the local economy. Yet, studies published in the Harvard Business Review and Journal of Urban Economics showed that developing small local businesses is more effective at creating employment than
this so-called “smokestack chasing.” The economic argument for encouraging local purchasing is not only that it creates local jobs and wealth, but that it can be more effective than other economic development methods if existing local capacity can be empowered. Additionally, there are a number of other benefits linked with increased activity in local small businesses, such as greater community and political participation, smarter growth, greater public health, improved tourism attraction,
and a stronger culture of entrepreneurship. Local companies spend a greater portion of the revenue they receive back in the local economy. They circulate more to local labour, suppliers, owners and charities. In turn, these employees, suppliers and owners spend that money on goods and services they need, some of which come from locally owned businesses as well.

Detroit has what it takes to rise Global Views Gwynne Dyer As it happens, I was in Detroit last month. I went to see the art and the architecture, domains in which Detroit is still one of the richest U.S. cities. It’s broken and it’s broke and, now, it’s bankrupt, too. But bankruptcy is actually a device for escaping from unpayable debt. All over the world, Detroit’s bankruptcy is being used as an excuse to pore over what’s sometimes called “ruin porn” — pictures of the rotting, empty houses that still stand and the proud skyscrapers that have already been torn down. There’s even a selfguided tour of “the ruins of Detroit” available on the Internet; people take a melancholy pleasure in contemplating the calamitous fall of a once-great city. Two-thirds of Detroit’s population have fled in the past 50 years, but there were specific reasons why Detroit fell into decline — and there are also reasons to believe that it could flourish again, not as a major manufacturing centre, perhaps, but “major manufacturing cen-
tres” probably don’t have a bright long-term future anywhere. There are other ways to flourish and Detroit has some valuable resources. The events that triggered the city’s decline are well known. Large numbers of African-Americans from the southern states migrated to Detroit to meet the demand for factory workers during and after the Second World War. Being mostly unskilled, they started in the worst jobs — and, even after they had acquired the skills, they stayed in low-paying jobs because of racial prejudice. Spurned by the unions and victimized by a racist police force, they eventually rioted in the summer of 1967. Brutal policing made matters worse and hundreds were killed, but the worst consequence was the fear the violence engendered. The great majority of whites just left town. I first went to Detroit a couple of months after the riots and, driving into the city, the fear was actually visible. The traffic lights are spaced far apart on Woodward Avenue and, as each light turned green, all the cars would accelerate away — and then, if the next light was still red, they would slow more and more until they were barely crawling, but dared not stop for fear of being attacked. Then, finally, the light would turn green,
and they would race away through the intersection — only to go through the whole process again as they approached the next light. It was this unreasoning fear that caused the massive “white flight” to the suburbs and the hollowing out of Detroit. The big automobile companies also took flight and the new car plants were built elsewhere. As the jobs disappeared and the population dropped, the tax base fell even faster for most of the people left behind in the city were poor or unemployed African-Americans. The city could no longer afford to provide good police or medical services, so even more people left. This vicious circle has lasted half a century, exacerbated by much corruption and maladministration. This month’s declaration of bankruptcy is a brutal measure, for much of the debt being repudiated is the pensions of city employees, but it may give the city’s government enough leeway to begin rebuilding public services. If they are restored, much else could follow. Let me explain what brought me to Detroit early this month. We were doing what we dubbed the “Rust Belt Art and Architecture Tour” — driving from Buffalo to Cleveland and then to Detroit, ending up in Chicago. All these cities
took a beating as the industries they were built on died or moved overseas (except Chicago, which is “too big to fail”). But, three generations ago, when they were the industrial heartland of the United States, they were very rich — at just the right time. The first decades of the 20th century were the heyday of Art Deco, the most beautiful architectural style of the modern era. That was also the period when newly rich captains of industry could scoop up bucketloads of new European and American art, impressionist, expressionist, abstract, the lot — and they lived mostly in what are now the Rust Belt cities. They filled their homes with best of modern art and, in the end, donated most of it to the local art galleries. Even in Detroit, where so much has been lost, more than half of those buildings are still there. So is all of the art. Other cities would kill for these assets. In a post-industrial economy where people have more choice about where they live, they are assets that can actually attract population — especially since, in Detroit’s case, the people who left didn’t go far. Most of them are still out there in the suburbs. Detroit’s population has fallen from two million to 700,000 over the past 50 years,

but the metropolitan area’s population has stayed stable at around four and a half million for all of that time. The job, really, is to bridge the devastated middle ring of low-income Detroit housing and reconnect the outer suburbs with the city centre. Detroit can rise again. It just takes the right strategy. -Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Missing players hurt United’s chances in Vernon
Due to the core of Ted United being at the World Masters in Italy, and injuries, Ted United had only nine available players for their last game of the season against Vernon’s Chick Kickers. United knew it was going to be a tough game even if they had a full team as both teams were competing for the second place spot in the league. Ted started the game in 35 degree heat and four players short as they waited for their last two players to arrive. Ted was able to hold the Vernon Chick Kickers at bay for the first 15 minutes of play, playing a defensive, keep-away style of game in a 3-3 formation. United’s backline of Brier Cadden, Heather Rolin and Krista Yonker (minus her toenail) were stellar as they shut down the offensive advances of the Vernon team time and time again. Goalie Linda Yawney was unbelievable as she made save after save with no regard for her own physical safety. Just when Kickers thought they had an open net and the goalie was down and out, Yawney would make an acrobatic Hasek-style butterfly kick for yet another save. The Chick Kickers were getting rattled as they just couldn’t score even though United was playing four players short. Just as Ted’s two late players were arriving on the pitch, the Kickers managed to put a goal in. Down two players the remainder of the game, Ted United put in a valiant effort across the board, dominating the play for the first half. United’s midfielders Emily Styles and Kim Buker were tireless in midfield, making offensive runs and supporting the defence in the transitional plays. By half time Kickers were still only up the goal they had scored when United were down four players. In the second half, United was rested, watered and ready to go. Ted came out strong, and in the first 10 minutes of play, Kyla Sherman received a great pass from Susan Housden that enabled her to go on a breakaway and tie the game up. The heat and fatigue inevitably set in and the shorthanded, local team found themselves down three goals at the end of the game. Final score 4-1 for Vernon’s Chick Kickers. Ted United walked off the field heads held high as they knew they left all that they had out on the field. It was a very successful year for Ted United both on and off the pitch. Not only did they play some great soccer but they shared great camaraderie and had a lot of laughs along the way. The ‘young women’ of United are already eagerly anticipating next year’s soccer season.

The Summer of Greg continued on Tuesday at the Salmon Arm Golf Club as Summerland Golf & Country Club assistant pro Greg Machtaler chipped in for birdie on the second playoff hole to beat Seymour Creek’s Bryn Parry for the Titleist/ FootJoy 2013 PGA of BC Championship Presented by Axis Insurance, a $6,000 winner’s cheque and the William Thompson Trophy. “I can’t explain it,” said an elated Machtaler afterwards. “It’s been a dream summer.” Machtaler was given new life when he missed an eight-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole, which opened the door for Parry to try and win the trophy he previously won in 2000 and 2008. But Parry missed his four-footer and Machtaler had new life. “I had my hat off, ready to shake his hand because Bryn Parry is such a great putter and he doesn’t miss those putts,” said Machtaler. “I guess I read it
wrong,” said Parry. “And then when he’s lining up for his chip, I’m expecting him to make it and then I make my putt and we go on to the next playoff hole.” One of those outcomes occurred, but Parry’s birdie putt didn’t fall and Machtaler added the PGA of BC Championship to the Assistants’ Championship he won in Chilliwack in June and the Pro-Assistant Championship he won with Summerland head pro Tye Babkirk in July. The third member of the playoff, Gorge Vale’s Ed Boudreau, shot 65 to get into the playoff, but a drive yanked left and an unplayable lie on the first playoff hole led to Boudreau being in pocket watching the first playoff hole’s conclusion. “I’m pretty happy with how I played to get into the playoff,” said Boudreau, who admitted that he struggled with his game earlier this summer before finding magic in Salmon Arm on Tuesday afternoon. Parry had earned his

Boudreau also had a memorable finish, lipping out for birdie at 15 before missing his only green of the day at 16 for a double bogey. The Gorge Vale pro would then redeem himself with a birdie-birdie finish to post -6 an hour before the final group finished. Machtaler had numerous chances to win the William Thompson Trophy, but a lipped
out birdie putt at 17 and an approach on 18 that went a hair long into the fringe forced Machtaler into needing to two-putt for the win. His eightfoot birdie putt stayed right and that meant the trio was back to 18 for a playoff. The two runnersup take home $3,750 cheques for their efforts. The top 40 players in the tournament shared more than $32,000 in prize money in the PGA of BC’s most prestigious tournament of the year.

Marijuana policing program cut By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
Outdoor marijuana growers in the Kamloops area might notice the same amount of law enforcement they did 10 years ago, but growers to the east might be having an easier time thanks to a financial crunch. About 10 years ago, the business of outdoor pot-growing in Chase was a bit more challenging, thanks to local RCMP. Chase RCMP Cpl. Mark Skotnicki noted the detachment used to conduct an annual “harvesting” crackdown. The program would span seven to 14 days and would have officers hitting Chase mountainsides in the final weeks of August or early September, searching for crops ready for harvest. Skotnicki said the marijuana plants were usually easy to spot, explaining many outdoor grow-ops tend to be planted in cut-blocks and have distinct colour differences, making them detectable to the human eye. Skotnicki estimated the annual crackdown would pull in anywhere from 10 to 16 grow-ops each year, bringing in several thousand plants.
cAvEllE lAyES phoToS
n Budget constraints have resulted in the demise of a policing program that used helicopters to target marijuana harvests in and around Chase. RCMP from Chase and outside areas would work together finding, cutting and removing the plants. However, such an operation required an excessive use of manpower, which meant an increase in expenses for the Chase detachment. “There is no incentive program for us to receive anything from the seizures,” Skotnicki said, noting this includes monetary and equipment incentives. In the United States, police receive something from grow-ops busted. Skotnicki said that is not the case in Canada. When money began to get tight and cutbacks were needed, the harvesting program was

weaned down until it was no longer conducted at all. Skotnicki said it’s not only the Chase detachment that was hit hard financially, but detachments nation-wide. “We are in the second year of a three-year financial crunch,” he said. While Mounties conducted a number of larger busts, the manpower required to work the program was getting pricey by the end. Ideally, the RCMP would have liked to have had 10 officers working each of the seven to 14 days, but that was not always possible. The expenses didn’t end with costs of physical duty.
Skotnicki noted that, while it took time to clip, bag and process the 10,000 plants, the paperwork would be ongoing months after the raid occurred. Skotnicki believes once the financial situation improves, the aerial assaults on pot plantations will return. For now, however, he stressed Mounties still undertake investigations and perform seizures, albeit in a different manner based on complaints or information given to police. “It is when we do them in bulk and do a large amount in a short time that things get costly,” Skotnicki said. “We still investigate when tips come in.” Whether he consid-

ered the thousands of plant seizures to be successful, Skotnicki said it depends on how one looks at it. “Success would be to completely eradicate drugs,” Skotnicki said. “But, really, no one is ever going to win the war on drugs.” He admitted the amount of plants seized through the program was only the tip of the iceberg in the bigger picture. “But, I would like to think that seizing 10,000 plants from 10 grows in a one- to twoweek period meant we were putting some kind of dent in it locally,” Skotnicki said. “I can say from a policing perspective that that kind of result is a success.”

CornStock even another success
By Cavelle Layes
MARKET NEWS STAff
“The fourth annual CornStock Festival is now in the history books and it was an unqualified success,” So says pleased event organizer Diana Endean, who credits the great weather, awesome committee, volunteers, sponsors, participants, vendors and entertainers. “The vendors’ tents scattered around the park gave the celebra-
tion a look of an oldfashioned country fair,” Endean said. The star of the festival, the corn of course, was once again a popular choice with many in the crowd. The children enjoyed a well-organized and popular Little Kernels Zone where they made corn dolls, did various crafts, and had their faces painted by some very talented volunteers. Citizens on Patrol did a great job patrol-
ling the park during the day and evening, said Endean, noting how they helped keep the festival a safe place for everyone to enjoy. The hot weather meant that the crew at The Watering Hole was busy throughout the day, ensuring they kept everyone hydrated. Endean is grateful to all who made donations at the event, and says the funds will help with planning already underway for next
year’s CornStock. “CornStock would not be possible without the support, both monetary and in-kind, of businesses, individuals and organizations in our area,” says Endean said. Anyone who would like to be a part of the planning committee may contact Gail at 250-679-3424, or Diana at 250-6793484. “It is a great committee of very friendly, enthusiastic individu-
als, and we are always looking for new members with new ideas,” Endean said.

In 1982 he met Glenda and they married in 1983, and were blessed with a daughter Rebecca in 1985. In 1993 Allan and family moved to Salmon Arm where Allan started work at Tarnow’s Hair Salon. Allan was very proud to have been involved in many theatre productions including Theatre Under the Stars productions at Stanley Park in Vancouver, Shuswap Theatre productions here in Salmon Arm since 1995, and worked on the movie “Wings of Courage” filmed in Kamloops and Vancouver in 1993/94. The family would like to thank Dr. MacDonald and Dr. Bratty for their care and compassion over the last 4 months. Also thank you to the nurses in Palliative Care at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

ALVERA PATERSON (BRUHN) 1911 - 2013 Alvera was born quite prematurely and weighing around 4 lbs. March 22, 1911 in Revelstoke, the closest community hospital to her parents’ homestead in Malawaka. The family moved to Salmon Arm when she was a few days old with one of her earliest recollections being told that her parents used the oven as an incubator because she was so small and premature. She survived early childhood and at the tender age of four she moved with her Mom and Dad and older brother, Ted, to Sabourin’s Point, Sicamous. Alvera Paterson was part of a family that had a significant influence on the history local to the Sicamous and Shuswap communities. Her father, Rolf Walgren Bruhn was born September 4, 1878 in Resterod, Sweden. He moved to Canada in 1898 settling in Malakwa, BC and set to homesteading and farming. Alvera’s mother was Sarah “Anna” Treat of Missouri, who moved to the area to be with her sister Laura Mitchell and brothers, Robert and Charles Treat. Rolf and Anna met and were married in 1902. There are still many descendants of the Treats in the Shuswap area. Mr. Bruhn worked as a road foreman. His company built such roads as Kault Hill and the Skimikin/Chase Road with the latter, it’s rumoured, being built for $500. Mr. Bruhn was also foreman for all but one mile of the Sicamous/Mara Lake Road with German detainees as his crew. This road was an engineering marvel at the time as it was completely level as Mr. Bruhn used the level of the lake as his reference. In 1916 Mr. Bruhn’s tenure building roads ended and he founded a forestry business, R.W. Bruhn Pole and Lumber Company. In 1917 the family lived in tents at Anstey Arm where there was a good supply of cedar for poles. Later logs, poles and ties were harvested from around the Shuswap and Adams Lake area. Poles and ties were sold and logs supplied the mill at Canoe which was built in 1925 and sold in 1936 as well as the new mill he built at Old Town near Sicamous. Alvera’s dad, the Right Honourable R.W. Bruhn served as MLA for the district of Salmon Arm in 1924, 1928, 1933, 1937 and 1941. He also served twice as the Minister of Public Works, Department of Highways. During the years Anna Bruhn made changes to the family homes where Rolf, Anna, Ted and Alvera entertained both the local guests and members of the Legislature. The house was renowned for music and laughter as the Bruhn’s entertained. In 1923 Alvera attended St. Michael’s all girls private school in Vernon for three and a half years and in 1927 she went to St. Margaret’s private school in Victoria, from which she graduated in 1929. She then decided to take Pharmacy but as she didn’t have Latin, she took it up later. She had special tutoring. Alvera then attended the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon where she took a general course. At this time her family was living in Victoria, so she returned to Victoria where she took another year of university, and then took a year off from her studies to do some traveling with her mom. In September of 1933 Alvera entered the school of nursing at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria and graduated in 1936 and remained in Victoria for a year. In 1937 she attended University of British Columbia for one year and became a Public Health Nurse. She worked with Metropolitan Public Health in the public schools in Vancouver. It was at this time she met her husband, Max Paterson, they married in 1939 and lived in Vancouver for six months, moving then to Sicamous where her husband joined her dad’s company, R.W. Bruhn Ltd. 1942 was a tragic year for the family and Alvera as her older brother Ted died after a boating accident on Shuswap Lake and her father passed away a few months thereafter from a stroke. Alvera did volunteer work in the baby clinic in Sicamous and in 1949 when she and her husband separated, she was left raising her two young sons: Rolf born in 1941 and Edward in 1943. She moved to Vernon and for the next nine years worked as a public health nurse while her sons went to Vernon Preparatory School (private school). In 1958 Alvera and her husband were able to resolve their differences and moved together with their boys to Vancouver. In 1952, Alvera’s mom, Anna, sold her house on CPR Hill and the family’s Basition Bay cabin (to the Drummonds) and bought a lot in the Blind Bay area, where at the time lake front property was just $10 a foot. There she built a home and spent her summers until she passed away in 1958. The Paterson family and friends often holidayed there. It was on an afternoon drive in 1968 in the country that Alvera and Max discovered Eagle Bay and Wild Rose Bay area. Soon after they bought Rose Bay Resort which they owned and operated for six years. In 1974 they sold the resort but remained on as the caretakers for a year. Alvera’s husband passed away in January of 1975. Alvera remained in the Eagle Bay, Shuswap area, living in various homes until 1979 when she built her home in Eagle Bay Estates where she remained until moving to Kelowna 1991. While at Eagle Bay she continued to be active in both the community hall and her church activities. In February of 2011she moved to Amica seniors’ home in West Vancouver where she celebrated her 100th birthday and resided until her passing on February 20, 2013. On Friday August 23, 2013 at 2 p.m. Alvera will join her husband and family as her ashes will be interred in the family plot #13 in the Mount Ida Cemetery in Salmon Arm. The Reverand Dan Meakes officiating. In attendance will be Alvera’s sons and their families – all four of her grandchildren and all five of her great grandchildren.

million Since the beginning of the 1980s, a small but growing organic farming sector has existed in Canada. According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, this sector has seen a meteoric rise in growth over the last few years. Just as in the United States, the consumption of organic foods has outstripped the pace of production. The fact remains that in Canada, barely 1 percent of households consume organic foods, compared with 4 percent in the United States, 14 percent in Austria, and 11 percent in Switzerland. Could organic farming feed the world at some point in the future? Experts in the field believe this is unlikely, unless deforestation is accelerated or meat is eliminated from human diets. A drawback to organic agriculture is that this method of production tends to increase greenhouse gas emissions. When farmers convert to

Organic agriculture continues to thrive Organic agriculture is showing healthy growth. According to the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, a survey done in 2009 estimates that 37.2 million hectares of agricultural land around the world are being used for organic growing methods. Over a ten-year period, that surface area had more than tripled, with sales figures reaching almost US$60 billion. The strongest growth was seen in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. It is estimated that there are 1.8 million certified organic farmers around the world. In North America, more than 90 percent of organic products are purchased in the United States. This market was evaluated at US$26.7 billion in 2010, an increase of 7.7 percent compared with the previous year. One important fact to note is that demand is increasing more rapidly than supply in the U.S.A, which has a population of almost 320
