Strike threatens to delay school start

Job action: Parents should know Friday whether classes will resume on Sept. 2.

By Jeff Nagel

market news staff

A decision is expected today, Friday, as to whether B.C. schools will reopen as scheduled on Sept. 2.

School District #83 parents are advised to check the district’s website, Facebook page and local media including the Salmon Arm Observer’s website at www.saobserver.net on Friday to get the latest on whether schools will be open.

Both sides blame the other for a gulf between positions that’s too wide for Ready to attempt to bridge.

The province says the teachers’ pay and benefits demands remain far in excess of settlements reached with other public sector unions.

Teachers, meanwhile, accuse the government of insisting on preconditions to talks that would unravel the union’s past court victories over the province on the stripping of contract terms on See Parents on page 2

No formal bargaining dates are scheduled, but Iker, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron were to meet Wednesday afternoon in Victoria, raising hopes for some movement.

Teachers have also stepped up picketing as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch into September.

A mass rally outside the premier’s Vancouver cabinet offices is also set for Sept. 5.

Gingras selected for federal NDP

Friday, August 29, 2014 Shuswap Market News

Election: Salmon Arm’s Cindy Derkaz puts name in for Liberals.

BLACK PRESS

The federal New Democratic Party has selected its candidate for the riding.

Jacqui Gingras of Falkland was chosen in a two-way race with Richard Smiley of the North Shuswap.

“I am honoured, excited and prepared to carry forward the fight for everyday Canadians living in Okanagan-Shuswap,” Gingras said.

She says her focus over the next six months will be to meet people in the riding and develop a better sense of their priorities and concerns.

“People I have spoken with across our riding have shared with me their concerns about the environment, about jobs and about our future,” she said.

“Based on the federal Conservatives recent debacles, we have a strong case to make for change. We can’t continue in the same way and expect differ-

ent outcomes.”

Gingras lives with her spouse and two children near Falkland and she is a tenured professor at Ryerson University in Toronto.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in dietetics and a masters’ degree in nutrition and metabolism. She also has a doctorate in education and teaches sociology

Jacqui Gingras courses and researches the social impacts on health systems.

“I am a community advocate and coalition builder,” said Gingras, who was born in Kelowna and raised in Oyama.

Gingras says she is looking forward to the upcoming election campaign.

“I’m running to rep-

resent the good people of Okanagan-Shuswap because they deserve better representation than what they’ve received in the past,” she said.

A Salmon Arm woman has announced her intention to seek the Liberal nomination in the federal Okanagan-Shuswap riding.

Cindy Derkaz has filled out her nomination papers and mailed them to Ottawa. However, before she is officially declared a candidate in the 2015 election, she must be vetted and “green lit” by the Liberal Party of Canada.

Derkaz, who was raised in Salmon Arm, is probably most wellknown recently for her former role as president of the Shuswap Community Foundation.

She has had much involvement with nonprofits and she practised law for many years.

Derkaz is running because: “Over the last three or four years, I’ve become increasingly

concerned about the direction the county is taking under the Harper Conservative government and I feel

nold, former Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert, Vernon businessperson Scott Anderson and former Lumby councillor Janet Green are all vying for the Conservative candidacy, with a nomination meeting tentatively scheduled for Oct. 4.

Cindy Derkaz it’s time to get involved and offer a change.”

No one else has announced their intention to run for the federal Liberal Party in the riding and the candidate nomination meeting has not been scheduled yet.

In the Conservative camp, four people have declared their wish to representative the party in this riding.

Parents advised to be prepared Continued from front class size and special needs support.

The province is appealing the latest court ruling against it.

Also gaining prominence in recent days has been an opt-out clause that the government has tabled that would allow either side to terminate a new collective agreement if it dislikes the ultimate court outcome from either the B.C. Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada.

An education ministry spokesman said he was surprised it has become an issue now.

It was disclosed in mid-June by government negotiators who pitched it as a “pragmatic and creative” way to give the union comfort it wouldn’t be

handed a massive defeat in court and could therefore shelve those issues and negotiate an interim agreement while the appeal proceeds.

But a BCTF spokesman said it’s the province not teachers who want an escape hatch, adding it suggests the government fears it will lose in court again and is seeking to block that outcome.

He credited BCTF members on Twitter for bringing the clause into public focus.

The Liberal government has promised to pay parents $40 a day for each child under 13 who misses school if the strike continues.

Various organizations and businesses are scaling up their day camp and other supervised care offerings for September in antici-

pation of a continued school shutdown.

The province also promised Tuesday to cover supported child development costs for in-school hours for special needs children now accessing services.

Fassbender on Monday reiterated the government’s position that it has no desire to legislate the teachers back to work.

The lump sum payouts to parents following the end of the strike will consume all of the $12 million a day in strike savings the government would have amassed going forward.

Parents can sign up for the payments at bcparentinfo.ca, a government-created website that seeks to prepare parents for an ongoing strike this fall.

Thirty-three years after it was first legislated, directors of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District voted unanimously to approve a new policy governing their conduct surrounding personal expenses for staff and elected officials.

Finance manager Jodi Kooistra sought amendments on the policy that affects both staff and directors because there were no guidelines that set limits on meal expenditures, room upgrades or partner programs. As well, there was a lack of consistency in how expense claims were processed.

Previous discussions regarding the new policy generated questions and comments regarding directors’ responsibility in choosing the cheapest mode of transportation, hotels and meals.

Kooistra reiterated the policy declares directors and staff are expected to “utilize the most costeffective method of travel considering time, convenience and safety.”

Kooistra made clear that meal expenses for business outside of CSRD limits are on a strictly per diem basis. Within CSRD limits, detailed receipts are required to prevent fraudulent use of the per diem.

Rural area directors initially balked at approving the policy, sending it back to the Electoral Area Directors (EAD) committee meeting for further discussion. Following this, a few minor changes were made to the policy including setting a two-tiered per diem rate for meals, as it was felt that costs were higher in the Greater Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler areas.

Area C director Paul Demenok proposed an amendment that would make using government hotel rates mandatory, but this was discouraged by staff, who noted this was not always the most economical option. For example, a using the hotel closest to a conference could be the cheaper option than getting a government rate farther away and paying for mileage.

“There is a trust factor here, and I think we are all very aware of the trust placed in us for the items we are claiming,” said board chair David Raven. “I think staff have been very prudent.”

The policy also now includes a provision that it be reviewed every four years.

“I’m glad to see the time schedule, so it won’t be 33 years before it is renewed again,” commented Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper.

CSRD plans regular legislation review In an effort to update outdated government policies, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District will be adding time to their meetings twice a year to review items on the books.

The discussion took place following the revelation that the CSRD’s policy on personal expenditures for staff and elected officials had not been renewed for 33 years.

Directors discussed the best way to review these policies, including forming a new policy committee as is done in some other regional districts. The consensus, however, was to have the entire board discuss ideas for

policy updates.

“These things affect the whole board, so I don’t think they should be talked about in isolation and that is not the intention,” said Rhona Martin, Area E director. “Some of these things can be pretty boring and dry, so if we did a few items at a time, we might all survive the ordeal.”

Board chair David Raven pointed out this would also ensure the committee was not an added expense, or use up too much additional staff time.

“We could review one or two at a time, based on staff’s direction, until we get through them,” he said.

Beacon sought for Hungry Cove

By Tracy Hughes

MARKET NEWS STAFF

A boating fatality at Hungry Cove has prompted the Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors to issue a plea for the installation of a navigation beacon to improve safety.

Darryl John Johnston, 50, of Calgary, died Aug. 16 when the boat he was driving crashed into a rock face at Hungry Cove at 9:30 p.m., throwing him into the water.

Another man, who was in the boat’s cabin,

was seriously injured.

Rhona Martin, rural Sicamous director, introduced the motion, saying this is not the first time boaters have been injured or had boats damaged in that area of Shuswap Lake, although this appeared to be the first fatality at that location.

She noted that years ago, former Sicamous Mayor Gordon Mackie had also written similar letters of request for a safety beacon to the appropriate government agencies, but nothing

was ever installed.

In light of the fatality and the length of time since those letters were written, Martin thought it was an appropriate time to request another safety beacon.

“There’s no rule or law that can govern common sense when driving your boat in the dark, but I think a warning light still makes sense. It may help prevent things from happening,” said Martin.

The CSRD board unanimously approved the motion.

elderly targeted by scam artists

Almost every week we receive phone calls from residents complaining about the latest computer or telephone scam.

Many of us have become wise to the ploys, and disregard the emails and phone calls. But clearly the scams still work, to a certain degree, or they would not continue to be used.

Most email services are very good at detecting the electronic scam artists, sending such letters directly to the junk pile. All that said, with the aging population in Greater Victoria, it is worth the reminder.

These scam artists specifically target the elderly. So, here are a few tips to our elderly neighbours – a few red flags to watch out for, when considering who is asking for your help.

1.) When checking your email, disregard anything from Nigeria, Somalia or any other country, unless you have direct relations with said country, and recognize the name of the sender.

2.) You did not win any money from a foreign lottery. The oldest marketing line in lotteries applies here: You can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket. And you did not buy a ticket.

3.) That service call from Telus, warning you that your computer has been hacked is not a service call from Telus. This scam is not only the most prevalent, currently, but also the easiest to dismiss. Telus does not make unsolicited service calls. You call them if you have a problem.

So, the next time “Telus” or “B.C. Hydro” or “Revenue Canada” calls you to tell you your computer has been hacked, follow these steps: 1.) Put them on hold.

2.) Go for lunch.

OpiniOn

Things fall into place on the river There is a hint of autumn in the air these days.

I guess that shouldn’t be much of a surprise considering September is but a few days away.

I like the autumn. For the better part of 30 years, come each fall I have packed my gear and headed to the runs and riffles of one of my favourite rivers or streams, mostly just to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet.

I look forward to just standing on the banks of the river, breathing in the cool crisp autumn air and enjoying the sense of camaraderie that comes with simply casting a line with fellow anglers.

We rarely talk. I would even go so far as to say that I haven’t had much more than a nodding acquaintance with but a few. We don’t need to talk. We are there to fish and, more often than not, be alone with our own thoughts. At least that’s the way it is with me.

Whether I catch fish or not, I know that I feel good just being there on the banks of the river.

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray Time spent fishing has always given me an opportunity to reflect on the past and contemplate the future.

Things make sense when I’m out on the river. Complicated problems become simpler and, well, things just seem to have a way of falling into place after a while when you think about them out on the river.

When I’m out on the river, the burdens of life are lifted from my shoulders.

As for catching fish, I have never really cared whether I catch anything or not.

It just feels good being out there.

Having said that, when I do have a fish on, everything else disappears from my mind. All I care about is

the moment.

For a few special, electrically-charged, exhilarating minutes, it’s just me and the fish – the eternal struggle of predator and prey.

It’s hard to express such feelings in words. If you understand what I’m saying, you already know. If you don’t, you never will.

When I am standing knee-deep in the fast flowing waters of one of my favourite streams somewhere, I feel content.

If I happen to be lucky enough to tie into a bright, shiny silver 10-pound spring-run salmon or a winter-run steelhead, well, that’s another thing that’s hard to put into words.

I have already made plans to spend a week at Beaver Lake with a friend but, after that, I think maybe I’ll give my friend Cory a call and see if he can get away for some steelheading on the Vedder River.

We fish up top where there are not quite as many anglers casting a line. We like it that way. Cory likes to concentrate on his fishing and I just like to get

away from people.

Neither trip will cost all that much in gas and the good thing about spending time fishing with friends is, well, getting to spend time with friends.

It’s nice just to be able to stand upstream from someone and not feel obliged to talk to them about anything if you don’t feel like it – especially when you’re with someone who pretty well already knows what you are thinking. That was one of the things that I liked most about going fishing with my old dog Duff. Not that she ever really listened to me, but you get my point.

I enjoy the friends I have because I don’t have to talk to them all that much.

We talk about the things that matter.

Although, as time goes by, I do find that not all that much really seems to matter.

All I know for sure is that I enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with being out on the river as much as I enjoy my friends. So I guess things really do fall into place.

Hockeyville to light up rink

n Kraft Canada Hockeyville representative Kathy Colbeck, front right, presents a cheque for $50,000 to Dale Berger, Shuswap Recreation Society general manager and Couns. Debbie Cannon, Alan Harrison, Mayor Nancy Cooper, Ken Jamieson, Marg Kentel, Chad Eliason and Denise Reimer. The money, which the city won as part of the Hockeyville contest, has been earmarked to help refit the Spectator Arena at the Shaw Centre with energy-efficient LED lights.

Budget consultation set for sept. 8

Mayor’s Message Nancy Cooper One of the single most important things city officials must do is probably also the least understood.

Each year council works with staff to establish goals for a five-year period which includes both the shortand long-term financial plans for the city.

These plans are

a crucial part of the daily and long term operations and involve a comprehensive staff review. During the annual budget process a meeting is held for council to receive input from the public.

This meeting will be held on Monday, Sept.

8, following the evening portion of the regular council meeting.

Following this consultative process, council directs staff to draft the current year’s financial plan.

The financial plan is eventually adopted to provide financial direction for the city in the upcoming year.

In 2013, after an extensive staff review

GOING FAST

and public consultation process, council adopted a strategic plan that includes projects such as a new cemetery development, foreshore sanitary sewer main construction and Blackburn Park development.

Although the Strategic Plan includes many large projects, the city is financially prepared for these costs and has projected debt ratio in 2014 and 2020 of 42.40 per cent and 42.34 per cent respectively (of provincial guidelines).

The city officials have ensured Salmon Arm is in a good financial position and continue to strive to be

innovative and creative in terms of service delivery that reflects council priorities and community expectations.

The city’s conservative financial strategy is based on the principles of stable revenue, debt retirement, growth and reserve management.

The city is in good financial shape and debt ratios per household and per capita remain stable.

Mt. Baldy trail officially opens Partners gathered from around the Shuswap last Thursday to celebrate the official opening of the new Mount Baldy hiking trail west of Sorrento – and they did it in style.

Crannog Ales, whose award-winning organic farm brewery is just next door to the new trail, hosted a reception following the official ribbon cutting.

“Trails like this help people learn about the natural places they live with and why it’s important to take care of them,” said Rebecca Kneen, co-owner of the brewery.

The Mt. Baldy trail is the latest addition to the South Shuswap’s parks and trails system, built in partnership with

the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Parks and Recreation program, the Shuswap Trail Alliance and the Sorrento and Area Community Association. The 4.5 kilometres of trail include an impressive lookout over the South Shuswap and a beautiful upper-loop alongside pockets of trembling aspen forest.

Jay Scholton, with the Sorrento and Area Community Association, was honoured during the ribbon-cutting ceremony for his leadership in championing the trail project.

“It just exceeds my expectation,” said Scholton, who acknowledged not being sure it would be possible when they were

first proposing the idea.

“The real thanks needs to go to the Shuswap Trail Alliance crew and volunteers who did all the work.”

CSRD Parks team leader, Marcin Pachcinski acknowledged the leadership of the Area C Parks Commission, as well as the partnership with the Trail Alliance and local volunteers, which is making the regional trail system possible.

The trails within Secwepemc territory were also acknowledged.

CSRD Parks worked with Secwepemc leadership and an archeologist to ensure the path avoids impacting areas of cultural importance.

Following the ribbon cutting at the trailhead, the celebrations moved over to the Crannog Ales farm.

The Mount Baldy lookout is visible from the brewery’s lawns, so together everyone raised a toast in thanks to Crannog Ales’ hospitality and to the new trail and all the partners who worked so hard together.

The battle of the blackberry patch

Margo Westaway

One of the many pleasures of the growing season is to munch on the wide variety of both garden and wild berries.

When I first moved up from the Coast about 16 years ago, I noticed that there were a few blackberry patches growing around here and there, so I thought it would be a good idea to have some of my own.

Since I was a young kid growing up on the Coast, it was an annual family outing to tackle the patches that were commonly found along the roadside ditches, vacant lots and fields, and I figured I could keep up the family tradition with mine.

This was one of the biggest gardening foofoos of my life, and I pay for it year after futile year by trying to snip and dig out this ever-growing beastie to keep it under control.

They are here to stay, short of throwing buckets of toxic herbicides on them, (which is out of the question), so I’ll just have to keep fighting the vines until the cows come home.

Many years ago when I was living on the island, I submitted this little story to a number of newspapers as my first attempt at writing for fun. Only one editor actually printed it, but another sent it back with bright

accessibility and yield.

“After careful investigation for unforeseen obstacles, an affirmative nod from Mom indicated the patch met all crucial specifications. We deployed ourselves into strategic positions and initiated harvesting.

“We were repeatedly assaulted and harassed by the patch’s inhabitants. Bees fought for superior air space, fat-bodied spiders defended occupied territories and the rodents advanced and retreated into hidden bunkers.

Sharp thorns, like barbed wire, threatened to shred clothing and exposed flesh.

“Undaunted, we tenaciously penetrated the depths of its foliage.

red scribbles all over it, circling my spelling mistakes, correcting poor grammar and rewriting some of the sentences – just like a teacher would at school.

My run-away patch is once again reminding me of my little field expedition a few years ago.

My other siblings were otherwise engaged or living elsewhere and my dad had suffered a hand injury, so Mom and I were the only ones that year to navigate through the risky and thorny depths of the blackberry patches.

Here goes: “Another blackberry picking season has been successfully concluded and my Mom’s freezer is now fully loaded with stiff little captives, detained for future pies, jellies, juice and jams.

“The annual mission was engaged at 1400 hours, Aug. 11, 1990. My mother and I armed ourselves for the assault: a protective coat, rugged jeans, boots, buckets, several coat hangers and a first-aid kit.

“The attack on the berry patches would be fruitless without these essential security measures. Our stakeout of our target commenced, haunting old war zones, trusting they had not been invaded and composted by the enemy – the bulldozers.

“With a keen, experienced eye, we zeroed in on a patch located in a nearby field, halted, loaded and marched.

We cautiously approached the bushes from all directions, assessing the patch for

ford to let any escape!

Mom and I spread out, maintaining eye contact and monitoring progress through coded sounds and hand signals. After two hours, 25 minutes, we withdrew and inspected our buckets. All six pails were filled to maximum capacity.

“A hovering rainstorm grumbled above our heads. After quick analysis of the weather, we determined a downpour was imminent.

Not willing to jeopardize our hard-won efforts, we evacuated the area, retreating to the shelter of the car.

“At home base, Dad conducted his routine interrogation. He sampled a select few for size, flavour, calibre and colour. Grunting his satisfaction and approval, he filled a large bowl for immediate consumption before the berries were condemned to the potato masher.

“In brief, it was deemed a victorious mission. We can now retire our scratched and

Ukraine: Now a game of chicken Global Views Gwynne Dyer It is quite possible for soldiers to cross a frontier “by accident on an unmarked section,” and that is how Moscow explains the capture of a group of Russian paratroopers on Ukrainian territory last weekend. Poor lambs, they just wandered across the border by mistake. When they get home, they’ll have to be sent on a refresher course in cross-country navigation.

The flaw in this story is that the ten captured Russian soldiers, from the 331st Regiment of the 98th Guards Airborne Division, were caught in a group of unmarked vehicles 20 kilometres inside Ukraine. That’s a third of the way from the Russian border to the besieged rebel city of Donetsk, and it’s really hard to explain away as a navigational error.

Besides, there is plenty of other evidence (though no other video interviews with captured Russian troops) to show there is now a three-pronged Russian offensive underway in eastern Ukraine. There are probably fewer than

a thousand Russian regular army troops on Ukrainian territory at the moment, but their purpose is clearly to stop the collapse of the pro-Russian rebels and reverse the momentum in the ground war.

Last week the Ukrainian forces finally cut the last remaining road from Russia to the besieged city of Luhansk, shortly after a large convoy of Russian trucks violated Ukrainian sovereignty and drove up that road to deliver “humanitarian” aid to the city. The rebel forces have now launched a counteroffensive to reopen the road, and Russian selfpropelled artillery units have entered Ukraine in the Krasnodon area to support their attacks.

Another Russian force, including tanks, crossed the border on Aug. 24, 50 kilometres south of Donetsk, the capital of the other rebel province, and is trying to open a corridor to that city. (The captured paratroopers were part of that force, which is currently stalled near Ilovaisk.) And on Aug. 25, a column of Russian armour crossed into Ukraine well to the south, heading west along the coast of the Sea of Azov towards the port city of Mariupol.

This last incursion, presumably an attempt to open a third front and relieve the pressure on the two besieged cities, has now occupied

Novoazovsk, about 30km. east of Mariupol.

The Ukrainian forces say they destroyed a dozen armoured infantry carriers there, but in the end they were driven out. Russian helicopter gunships also killed four Ukrainian border guards and wounded three others in an attack on a border post east of Luhansk on Tuesday.

It’s not yet all-out war between Russia and Ukraine, but there is no doubt that Ukrainian forces are now in direct combat with Russian troops on several fronts. Russia still officially denies all this, of course, but its denials are not meant to be believed. Rather than see the separatist forces that Moscow has sponsored in the two eastern Ukrainian provinces simply collapse, Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to escalate the conflict.

The message is that Russia will do whatever is necessary militarily to keep the rebellion alive. But is that really true? Putin is now just one step short of a full Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine, and Russia is already suffering serious economic sanctions. Take that last step, and it’s back to the Cold War – a war that Russia would ultimately lose, and it wouldn’t take 40 years this time either.

Today’s Russia has only half the popula-

tion of the old Soviet Union, and it is no longer a major industrial power. Without its oil and gas exports, its citizens would be as poor as Ukrainians. If NATO started to take the “Russian threat” really seriously and re-armed itself accordingly, Russia simply couldn’t keep up militarily – and even trying would wreck its fragile economy. In the end, that would probably bring Putin down.

Putin presumably understands this at some level, but his pride, and his desire to restore Russian power, won’t let him just accept defeat. So the current escalation is best seen as his next move in a game of chicken: can he frighten the West into making a deal that saves his face and turns Ukraine back into a political and economic dependency of Russia? The answer is: probably not.

Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshenko, certainly does not intend to go back to the old days. When he called a parliamentary election last week, he was effectively declaring that Ukraine will continue to be a sovereign and centralised state, not the neutered and decentralised state that Moscow wants – and that it will keep its options open on joining the European Union and even NATO (though neither of those options is currently on offer).

The problem with games of chicken is that each player must demonstrate his willingness to go all the way, even though going all the way is crazy.

The first one to give way to an attack of sanity loses. The only way to avoid a disastrous smash-up and still not lose is for both players to go sane at exactly the same time. That is what diplomacy is for, but so far it isn’t working.

CHASE Fleeing driver denies authority

Court: Man convicted despite argument laws don’t apply to him.

By Tim Petruk BLACK PRESS

What happens when an accused criminal refuses to accept he’s bound by Canada’s laws? He’s convicted anyway.

At least that’s how it went in Kamloops provincial court last week when 27-year-old Ian James McDonald stood trial on three charges stemming from a police pursuit in the Shuswap in November.

McDonald took no issue with the facts as outlined by police witnesses – that he was pulled over by police for having an illegal licence plate, he was not in possession of a valid B.C. driver’s licence and he fled police after the initial traffic stop.

What he did have an issue with, however, was the RCMP’s authority over him.

McDonald was pulled over on SquilaxAnglemont Road on Nov. 28 after a Chase Mountie spotted a suspicious licence plate.

The plate turned out to be homemade and

the driver of the grey Toyota Tercel – later identified as McDonald – didn’t have a licence.

When the officer returned to his police cruiser to run the Tercel’s VIN, McDonald took off – and he refused to pull over again until RCMP set up a roadblock a short distance away.

“When he got into statute this and obligation that . . . I just disregarded him,” McDonald said in court.

“I have no reason to believe he has any authority over me.

“The fact that he’s following me with his lights on? That’s his business, not mine.

“I was not fleeing from him, I was just acting as though he wasn’t there.”

McDonald questioned the arresting officer in court, Cpl. Mark Skotnicki, on the law and its authority over him.

“I fail to understand what binds me to these rules,” McDonald told the Mountie during cross-examination.

“The law applies to

n This is the homemade licence plate Ian James McDonald had affixed to the back bumper of his Toyota when he was pulled over last November. all of us,” Skotnicki replied.

“If I don’t accept that, then what?” McDonald asked.

“If you don’t like the laws of this country, you can go somewhere else where the laws are more suited to you,” the officer responded.

In his closing submissions, McDonald, who was self-represented at trial, called legislation “arbitrary whims” and argued he hadn’t committed a crime because B.C. exists “only on paper.”

At one point, McDonald, citing an obscure piece of federal legislation, argued that Canada exists only on waterways and oceans, not land.

“As far as I’m concerned, my only obligation is to do no harm and honour my contracts,” he said.

“I believe the province is basically a figment of imagination created on paper.”

Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison was far from dismissive, engaging in a five-minute conversation questioning McDonald on his beliefs.

“I’m guilty of the facts, absolutely,” McDonald finally said.

“The problem is, what’s the point?

“If the Crown was to accuse me of wearing a black T-shirt, I’d be guilty of that, too – but it’s not a crime.”

Harrison didn’t buy

McDonald’s persistent arguments, however, convicting him on counts of fleeing police and driving while prohibited.

The Crown was seeking a jail term of between two and four weeks. McDonald said he had been offered a plea bargain amounting to a fine of $800 – a deal that was taken off the table as soon as his trial got underway.

Five Segways recovered

Sunwest Tours Ltd. 153 Pinto Rd., Kelowna www.sunwesttours.com

Thieves: Machines abandoned as couldn’t be sold.

Five of eight Segways stolen from a Shuswap tour company have been recovered, but the theft took a financial bite out of the business’ prime summer season.

The single-person stand-up vehicles were stolen from Shuswap Unique Adventure Tours’ secure Scotch Creek compound near Chase on Thursday, May 29.

The Segways were in a horse trailer, which was also pilfered.

About a month later, according to company owner-operator Barb Rivest, Mounties recovered five of the eight Segways at a location between Falkland and Kelowna and the investigation continues.

The horse trailer was also found by police.

“Stolen Segways are not marketable,” Rivest said. “They were found in a heap of other stolen goods.”

Rivest said that while her business is running again and will continue “until the snow flies,” the lost weeks greatly affected the business’ bottom line.

“I got started about six weeks after the theft, at a lower capacity,” Rivest said. “Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time and money to get back up. People would phone and ask, ‘Are you still operating?’ Yes, we are.”

Rivest said the selfbalancing scooters don’t have much value on the black market as the serial numbers are registered, meaning thieves cannot get parts or service for the machines.

“It was stupid to steal them,” Rivest said. “It cost me a lot of money and they didn’t make any money.”

At the time of the theft, RCMP estimated the horse trailer and eight Segways to be worth $60,000.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Let the stars be your guide to better food nutrition (NC) If a single serving of a product has 80 calories, 10 per cent of your daily value of fat and 4 grams of fibre, is it healthy? Even if you disregard line after line of overwhelming nutritional claims, deciphering food labels can feel like a difficult math problem.

“It used to be enough to list nutritional information in small print on the

back of the box,” says Alexis Williams, a registered dietitian at Loblaw Companies Limited. “But as we are becoming more health conscious, there’s still a lot of confusing information out there.

A great place to start identifying nutritious choices is grocery store shelves where brands and retailers are emphasizing those options more prominently.”

Making nutritional information easier to identify is a step forward, but there is still a gap in understanding how to make nutritious choices. A solution is offered

by Loblaw Companies Limited. Look for the Guiding Stars on food products all across the country at Real Canadian Superstore, Atlantic Superstore, Maxi, and Save Easy stores in the Atlantic, Que-

bec and Western Canada.

“We designed the Canadian Guiding Stars algorithm to simplify nutritious choices in the grocery store,” says Alison Duncan, a registered dietitian at the University of Guelph. “Items are assigned scores of up to three stars based on nutrition label content and product ingredients.

While we always recom-

mend reading the nutrition facts on a product, when shoppers are too rushed, they can just let the stars guide them to a nutritious choice.”

Easy-to-identify symbols are part of a larger portfolio of in-store health resources that include dietitians and pharmacists aimed at helping us all to live life well. More information is available at www.guidingstars.ca.

Relieve your joint and muscle pain proactively (NC) Arthritis can strike anyone at anytime, regardless of age or physical condition, often with devastating and debilitating effects.

According to The Arthritis Society, by 2036 the expected number of Canadian adults living with this affliction will increase from 4.6 to 7.5 million. If you live with arthritisinduced joint pain, there are simple ways to help alleviate discomfort and prevent further pain or even injury, as follows: Exercise While pain and stiffness may dis-

courage you from being active, exercise can help reduce pain and improve overall strength.

Making sure you chose the appropriate form of exercise is important to preventing further pain or damage; you want to build muscle but avoid overextension that may cause further damage.

Consider aerobic and strengthening exercises such as swimming, biking and weight training. If you’re sitting at your desk or watching TV, stretch periodically and shift your position so that you don’t become stiff.

Medication

Mild and occasional pain goes hand-inhand with arthritis and can sometimes be alleviated with a hot or cold compress and some rest. However, more consistent pain and stiffness may require additional treatment such

as an over-the-counter pain reliever like Aleve, which offers up to 12 hours of relief with just one pill.

Emotional Awareness Chronic discomfort as a result of muscle and joint pain can have a serious im-

pact on your mood.

Unable to progress through your day as you’re used to, the emotional side effects can be debilitating. If you find yourself developing a negative attitude, consider a lifestyle change or therapy to keep your outlook positive. A combination of behavioural and talk therapy can help you overcome self-destructive feelings such as frustration and anger. A significant lifestyle change such as quitting smoking or losing weight can also help to alleviate pain associated with arthritis.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick. “I encourage all British Columbians to support B.C. producers by voting in the We Heart Local Awards, and by purchasing and enjoying local products year round.”

Nominations are open to Sept. 1. Anyone living in B.C. can nominate one or more favourites in the 15 categories by visiting www.weheartlocalawards.ca. Voting is then open from Sept. 2 to Sept. 16.

CEDRIC LOW It is with great sadness that the family of Dr. Cedric Low announces his passing on August 18, 2014, at the age of 63, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Cedric was born on April 23, 1951, in Uitenhage, South Africa. After the passing of his father at the age of 9, he with his mother, grandmother, and siblings moved to Hong Kong, China which acted as a stepping stone to their final home in Vancouver, Canada.

Cedric attended West Vancouver Secondary School before studying at the University of British Columbia, where he received his Doctorate of Dentistry in 1977. After graduation, Cedric moved to Salmon Arm to practice dentistry and in 1981 he married his beloved wife Pam. Cedric was a determined, thoughtful, compassionate, selfless, and hardworking man with a great sense of humor. He was dedicated to his family and placed them above his own needs. Similarly, he was exceptionally committed to his dental practice, patients, and staff. Being an athlete, he enjoyed many sport activities including tennis, wakeboarding, and skiing.

Cedric will be forever loved and missed by his wife, Pam; his sons, Jonathan (Sarb) and Christopher; his daughter, Rachel; his siblings (Dawn, Wendy, Roderick and Andrew) as well as extended family.

He was predeceased by his parents, Ellen Low Ying Roets and Kum Chue Low Ying; his step-father, Emmanuel Roets; and the family dogs, Benny and Jasper.

The family extends their sincere thanks to everyone who has offered love, caring thoughts and prayers over this past year.

MILLER, MARVIN STUART It is with profound sadness that Marvin’s family announces his sudden passing on August 14, 2014.

Born November 30, 1950 in Salmon Arm, the son of Jack and Audrey Miller, Marvin is survived by his wife Sally, his sons Brian and Erik (Sheila), brother Kelly (Muriel), sister Kim (Pete), nieces and nephews, and too many friends to count.

To say that he was well-loved feels flat in contrast to the reality; he was both respected and adored by those whose lives he touched.

He made friends everywhere he went. He loved his family, he loved the outdoors, and he was the consummate good guy. We will miss him terribly.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Doctors Without Borders.

Honesty Makes a Difference
