Houseboat crash trial gets underway

By Tim Petruk

markEt nEws staff

A Kamloops court heard that a speedboat that crashed into a houseboat on Shuswap Lake in 2010 had been zig-zagging at a high rate of speed before colliding head-on with the other vessel, killing the man piloting the houseboat.

Leon Reinbrecht, who the Crown says was behind the wheel of the speedboat at the time of

the crash, is facing one count each of criminal negligence causing the death of Ken Brown and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

His trial in B.C. Supreme Court began on Tuesday, Feb. 10.

Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said Reinbrecht had been with a group of people watching post-Canada Day fireworks on the lake on July 3, 2010. The fireworks ended at 11 p.m., Flanagan said, after which Reinbrecht dropped

Reinbrecht, his son and his son’s girlfriend then went back out on the water, Flanagan said, “travelling in a back-and-forth manner.”

The collision between the two boats took place at about 11:15 p.m.

Witness says boat going too fast Continued from front the houseboat, coming to rest fully inside the main galley of the house boat,” Flanagan said, noting the force of the crash threw Brown inside the speedboat’s bow.

Reinbrecht and his passengers were stuck inside the wreckage for nearly two hours. Brown’s body wasn’t removed until 2:20 a.m.

Flanagan, calling the scene “chaotic,” said Reinbrecht told a paramedic on the shore that Brown was alive until 12:30 a.m.

Christie Nelson, whose family has a cabin in the area, was sitting with a group of friends at a bonfire near the shore after the fireworks ended.

“I heard the sound of a boat going very fast,” she testified.

“I heard a loud sound, like you can tell the speed of a boat by the sound.”

Nelson told court she stood up after hearing the boat’s engine.

“Then I saw a speedboat coming quickly toward Magna Bay,” she said.

“In my mind, it was something that was unusual. It was a really dark night and it was unusual to have a boat travelling so fast for the conditions.

“I exclaimed to my friends at the fire, ‘Why is this person going so fast? They’re going too fast. They can’t see anything.’”

“What happened next?” Flanagan asked.

“We heard a really, really loud crash,” Nelson replied.

“It went from a low rumbling noise to a high-pitched whirring noise with the engine out of the water.”

Nelson said her brother and husband boarded the family boat and went to the crash site with flashlights and life jackets.

The Crown expects to call 50 witnesses during the trial, which is slated to run into mid-March.

Council leery of funding plan

Friday, February 13, 2015 Shuswap Market News

Salmon Arm & Shuswap Lake Agricultural Association

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Shuswap Watershed Council: City wants more input.

Salmon Arm council isn’t about to dive into proposed funding options for the new Shuswap Watershed Council without adequate research and information.

Presented with a ‘Shuswap Watershed Water Quality Service Feasibility Study’ commissioned by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District on how to proceed with funding a body to protect the lake’s water quality, council members expressed reservations.

Coun. Alan Harrison asked if the city filled in the survey that was used in developing the report. Mayor Nancy Cooper, the lone Salmon Arm representative on the council, said citizens as a whole provided input because the survey was filled out by various organizations at various meetings.

Coun. Kevin Flynn said he was not on city council for the past three years and wondered if he’d missed the survey or discussions regarding the watershed council during that time.

Harrison replied: “I’ve been here for the past three years…

As far as I know we

Okanagan and municipalities.

The watershed council has been set up to replace the former Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP), which was dissolved.

Coun. Kevin Flynn Harrison said his initial feedback would be that the council should focus only on water quality, not other issues mentioned in the report such as boating safety.

Cooper suggested the report authors be invited to come speak to council and answer questions. Councillors responded favourably, although administrator Carl Bannister said there would be an un-

budgeted cost to that.

Coun. Louise Wallace Richmond suggested Skype might be an option.

Wallace Richmond also pointed to the need to educate water users about conservation, particularly when some communities, like Salmon Arm, have high water usage and others have a water shortage.

Along with sending the report to the environmental advisory committee, council will encourage feedback from other groups and citizens.

Eliason pointed out that, ultimately, it will come down to the mayor and council becoming informed enough to make a good decision for the city.

didn’t discuss it here at council. If that’s the spot we’re in, Coun.

Lavery’s suggestion is a good one. We need to get feedback from Salmon Arm on what its role is – it’s the financial piece.”

Lavery had suggested the report go to the city’s environmental advisory committee for feedback.

“I think we all agree the water quality of Shuswap Lake is the single most important issue that would bind every resident of the region,” Lavery said, noting the next step would be choosing from options suggested.

Flynn agreed on the importance of water quality – and said funding is his concern.

“Just how are we going to pay for that.”

Coun. Chad Eliason also referred to the need to agree on a funding formula for the communities in the huge watershed.

“In order for this to be successful, everyone needs to be on board. The real question is, how much do we pay?”

Harrison asked about the makeup of the council. Cooper said it’s made up of representatives from the Thompson Nicola Regional District, the CSRD, the Regional District of North

VIEW POINT

WORSHIP r e h t e g To

Thankful for Harper’s policies Wow, talk about a home run for the lefties in the Feb. 6, Shuswap Market News.

Three separate letters beating up on Prime Minister Harper, the Conservatives and our elected MP for the Okanagan Shuswap, Colin Mayes.

Probably just a coincidence they all appear in the same paper at the same time?

The “View Point” letters I refer to came from Cindy Derkaz, Doug McDonald and a Lloyd Atkins.

These three letters took turns at berating the Conservatives, our Prime Minister and our MP Colin Mayes.

Fair enough, and I’m sure the Observer/Shuswap Market News will provide space for others to provide their opinions as well even if they might represent the other side of the coin or some might say the “truth”?

I would ask the readers to compare the results of our present government’s track record with regards to economic issues around the world and how Canada fared during these critical times when many countries were going bankrupt, we had employment in Canada, our interest rates were kept low, our justice sys-

tem was improved and our standard of living in Canada “since” the Conservatives came to power.

Ask yourself, have the Conservatives helped or hindered in making Canada a better place to live, it is my opinion they have helped considerably.

Personally, I am thankful we got rid of the Liberals and their tax and spend policies when we did, however we are still trying to correct the results of their folly that happened under prime ministers Jean Chretien and Paul Martin.

Imagine if Justin Trudeau (the noexperience, rich kid) or Tom Mulcair (Johnny come lately) had been the prime minister during these recent times …. I shudder to think of where Canada might be if they had?

Perhaps the election campaign has started, as evident by the three letters that appeared in the Shuswap Market News; now let’s see if the three Salmon Arm papers under the banner of Black Press will print letters from the other side of the discussion as well... we’ll soon see?

Know that the Lord, He is God, it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people. – Psalm 100:3

Vaccines critical to healthy populations It was just about a year ago that B.C. had to deal with an outbreak of measles, with about 100 cases popping up in the Fraser Valley. This year, it’s Ontario’s turn.

Though it’s still a common disease in many areas of the Third World, the once common childhood ailment is rarely seen in Canada these days. There is one reason for that: vaccinations.

Complications from measles include ear or respiratory infections like pneumonia, and in extreme cases, brain inflammation, blindness and deafness or, rarely, death. Measles accounted for 500,000 deaths worldwide in 2000. Mass immunizations have drastically reduced that figure. By 2012, the number of measles deaths dropped by 80 per cent.

But the number of children being vaccinated is shrinking — many parents willing to risk their children’s health, and that of others, by refusing to have their kids vaccinated.

More than 15 years ago, a British doctor, Andrew Wakefield, suggested the measles vaccine, long proven safe, might cause autism. His study has long since been found inaccurate. Yet, with the help of the Internet, the scare has been perpetuated and more. Experts are concerned people who refuse one vaccine may be spurning others, setting communities up for outbreaks of other dangerous diseases like diphtheria and whooping cough.

The typical course for common measles, especially with modern medicines, is relatively mild.

But why put your child through even that, and put others at risk, for misplaced fear of a simple vaccination? While we don’t advocate mandatory vaccination, we do advocate relying on the advice of doctors and other reliable sources rather than misplaced faith in the veracity of the Internet.

Remember, you don’t have to be an expert in anything to set up a website.

OPINION

Common courtesy goes a long way

This was going to be the winter that I try ice fishing.

The weather, however, did not co-operate and none of the lakes I had hoped to fish did not freeze over enough for me to venture out onto the ice. Common sense dictated that I not risk going through.

Oh well, there’s always next year.

On a more positive note though, it won’t be long before the ice is off the lakes and it will be the start of a new fishing season.

People will also be heading out on the waters to enjoy boating, canoeing, kayaking, and any number of other water sports and activities. Each year there seems to be more and more people out there on our lakes and rivers. As a consequence, there is also an everincreasing need for common sense, as well as a certain amount of control over such activities in order to ensure the safety of everyone participating. In Canada, there are, on average, some 6,000 boating accidents involving more than 150 fatalities and many more injuries.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray In 1999 the federal government introduced the Pleasure Craft Operator Card. It was intended as a means to both educate people about the regulations regarding the safe operation of watercraft, as well as an attempt to regulate the use of personal watercraft. Federal government regulations now require all operators of watercraft under four metres in length, including personal water craft, to have a valid Pleasure Craft Operator Card.

There are a number of organizations and private companies in the province that offer Coast Guard accredited courses which will enable a person to attain their Pleasure Craft Operator

Card. Boaters also have the option of writing the exam without having taken an accredited course. A mark of 75 per cent is needed to pass the 36-question exam. To pass the exam, all that is really required is reading the material and some common sense.

It would seem to me that it would be in person’s best interest to know the rules and regulations in order to ensure their own safety – never mind the safety of family members and others.

Under the federal government regulations, a person operating a boat or pleasure craft is also responsible for equipping their boat with mandatory safety equipment for operating the boat safely and for ensuring the safety of those on board. Operators and/or owners of boats and pleasure craft that do not comply with these new and amended regulations can be subject to penalties and fines.

I don’t think it’s really too much to ask that people operating watercraft out on a lake would not only have the knowledge of how to prop-

erly operate their watercraft, but would also know the regulations in place that govern the manner in which they operate. After all, a person requires a driver’s licence to operate a motor vehicle on public roads and there are regulations in place to govern the speed and manner in which they do so. It is only common sense that there be similar requirements for someone operating a watercraft.

Common sense dictates that one not venture out on thin ice. Common sense should also dictate that one not venture out on open waters with more people moving about in powerful watercraft. Canoers, kayakers, boaters and operators of personal watercraft have every bit as much right to enjoy themselves on the water as the next person. A valid Pleasure Craft Operator Card, common sense and a little courtesy will also go a long way to ensure the safety of everyone on the water.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this coming season’s boating accident statistics were significantly reduced.

Twins arrive in pickup truck Y

CM

By Andrea Klassen

Kamloops This WeeK

The Dodge pickup is old and beaten up after summers of mining in the Yukon, but Nika Guilbault thinks she might need to hold onto it for another 16 years.

By then, her newborn twins, Hunter Dodge and Nevada Sierra, will be old enough to get behind the wheel — and how many teens can say they’re driving the same truck in which they were born?

When Guilbault woke up in the middle of the night on Jan. 28, sure she was going into labour at her Sorrento home, she knew from experience she’d have to get to Royal Inland Hospital as quickly as possible. Her first daughter, now two, had also been a fast birth.

“We knew it could be quite quick, but it was faster than we thought,” Guilbault said.

“I basically went from not any contractions to full labour and having a baby within half-an-hour — and it’s an hour drive from Sorrento to Kamloops.”

As husband Chris St. Jean steered the truck down the highway — coaching his wife on her breathing while holding the phone so Guilbault could talk to her midwife — baby Nevada was born.

“I had to give her two breaths of air to get her going and she

perked right up and her eyes were opened, so I tucked her in my shirt to keep her warm and was just waiting for the next one — and hoping we’d get there,” Guilbault said.

“I wouldn’t let my husband pull over because I knew we needed to get there because there was another one coming.”

The couple made it all the way to the RIH parking lot before her second twin was fully born, with staff on hand to help with the last moments of the birth.

Guilbault is grateful the timing worked out, as Hunter arrived feetfirst, with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.

“We were lucky it was the middle of the night and we had amazing road conditions and it wasn’t too cold out or anything,” she said.

Had they lived a few more kilometres out, or faced bad weather, she said, “we would definitely have been babies on the side of the road.”

A little over a week after the birth, Guilbault said both babies are doing well.

But, because they were born prematurely, it will be a few weeks before the Dodge twins, as she’s now calling them, can make the trip back home.

Though it wasn’t exactly a typical delivery, Guilbault said the truck births were, in a way, a

“I really wanted to have a home birth but, when I found out I was having twins and knew that they would most likely be early — we were hoping not quite this early — I knew that I would have to have them at a hospital,” she said.

“So, I guess in a way, I kind of feel like I got a little bit of my home birth.”

In another twist to the story, the truck in which the twins were born has some reality TV credits to its name.

It’s the vehicle Guilbault and her husband used while filming Yukon Gold, a show focused on mining, which added the cou-

ple to its cast for its third season. New episodes featuring the pair begin airing on History Canada on Feb. 25.

Seeking waste solutions

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Officials know septic systems are adding to water woes in Sorrento and Blind Bay, but a solution will be complex and costly.

At the January board meeting of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, operations manager Darcy Mooney sought and received approval for $50,000 from the Electoral Area C Community Works Fund to investigate a potential sewer infiltration site in Sorrento.

Liquid waste would be separated from solids at a treatment facility before being infiltrated into the ground, where bacteria in the soils would further treat the liquids.

The 2002 Area C Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP) identified the cumulative impact of septic systems on the environment was a problem in the making, noted Mooney in his report to council.

Continuous monitoring of the groundwater in the area has identified that on-site septic systems have a negative impact on the environment and the foreshore, he added.

An update to the liquid waste management plan conducted in 2008 indicated the need for, and got support for, a sewer system for the two communities.

A community sewer system was proposed for the Balmoral area, with Blind Bay, Reedman Point and Sorrento being phased into the

system over time.

The proposed cost of the entire system was identified at $56 million, if the sewer system and waste treatment were developed as a single phase,” said Mooney.

Moving sewage from foreshore septic systems to the facility would cost over $14 million for phase one of a multi-phased approach.

“The plan also indi-

stream domestic water wells,” Mooney said, noting that another site thought to be ideal will require additional investigation because the gravel is intruded by ‘fingers’ of bedrock.

“We need to delineate where the bedrock is and how extensive it is, and we also need to know the amount of gravel in terms of being able to determine how much effluent can be deposited there.”

“We’ve been waiting for a grant but that just hasn’t come.”

Darcy Mooney

cated we would only be able to move forward (on the project) with large grants of at least two-thirds of the funding,” said Mooney at the January board meeting.

“We’ve been waiting for a grant but that just hasn’t come.”

He says in 2008, $15 million seemed to be reasonable, but without a grant, the cost is excessive.

While the original plan was to spray treated effluent onto agricultural land in Balmoral, CSRD has begun to investigate alternatives and is looking at a rapid infiltration system.

“A rapid infiltration site in Balmoral is not available. We spent a considerable amount of time looking at one in Sorrento, but there is a proliferation of down-

It will take up to $100,000 for CSRD staff to simply confirm the site and figure out how much effluent can be disposed there, noted Mooney.

“Once the work is completed, we will bring it back to the board for the next steps,” he said. “This would include a liquid waste management plan amendment, which would include public input in the process.”

Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok offered his full support for the amendment.

“Sewers are a very high-priority project from an environmental perspective as 13 of 17 (CSRD) groundwater monitoring sites exceed (acceptable) e-Coli levels,” he said. “We have thousands of septic systems, some of them up to 50 years old, and we’re seeing it affect water quality in Blind Bay.” Demenok pointed out there are economic impacts in Sorrento as well.

“They’re handcuffed with the OCP (official community plan) stipulating you must have two acres of land if you’re going to have on-site sewer systems,” he said. “This is a very important area… I support spending additional funds to identify a rapid infiltration site.”

Demenok pointed out time is of the essence as a New Canada Building Fund is expected to be announced in 2015.

“We’ve got to be ready for it and I am asking for board support,” he said.

Demenok got it and Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan expressed interest in a similar system.

“We’re handcuffed in Scotch Creek too. We had a study and costs were prohibitive. I think we have to work in a similar direction to get those costs to something more affordable.”

Chamber makes good headway

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

The South Shuswap Chamber of Commerce is marking Chamber week, Feb. 16 to 20, with a sense of satisfaction and a drive to include more members.

“Based on our success, we went from zero to 100 in 12 months,” says enthusiastic general manager Karen Brown of the previously dormant organization. “Our list of accomplishments was extremely ambitious and successful.”

Brown says a few of the members want to nominate the organization for Chamber of the Year.

“I think it’s based on our unique nature; we’re the only chamber in the province that doesn’t have a chamber office,” she says, noting paperwork is taken care of in her own home.

“We engage members

by going out to the community, to the businesses, we step into B&Bs.” Brown says the faceto-face approach instills loyalty by showing a vested interest in a business no matter what size.

“It’s a business model that’s working,” she says.

Chamber president Brad Davies agrees. He says learning firsthand about the different businesses provides chamber with confidence.

For example, he says seeing how a particular B&B is run gives him a confidence to recommend the business to family and friends.

Davies says the amazing growth in the first year shows the level of need for a chamber in the area. Excited by the work chamber is accomplishing, Davies has high praise for his 10-member board.

“We’ve got a very active board,” he says.

He says he volunteers because the chamber is the only agency that promotes growth in business and co-ordination between businesses. But, he says the need for social gatherings has emerged as a major requirement, particularly for new business owners who were having a hard time integrating with the business community.

Over the year the board has discovered what kind of events work well in the South Shuswap.

A fancier Taste of Tuscany dinner/dance slated for September was cancelled because of a lack of interest. But

a Banger and Beans outdoor event with sleighrides and fireside dinner in January was “a highly successful networking and social event” at the Walters’ Farm. It was attended by some 20 children for the daytime activities and 60 for nighttime.

“We garnered a few more memberships,” says Brown. “What works around here is casual; they want something down home.”

Brown says the chamber has also tapped into the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Economic Development and Shuswap Tourism manager Robyn Cyr. Brown says the chamber hosted a large Social Media

Boot Camp at Quaaout Lodge that drew 50 business owners from Salmon Arm to Chase.

A large tourism readiness workshop was also successful and will take place again this year.

Also back on the calendar – a highly successful, two-day South Shuswap Outdoor Living Show set this year for June 27 and 28.

That will be coupled with the 30-day online Bucket List Auction that features activities available in the Shuswap.

Like Davies, Brown is excited about the future of the chamber.

“We’re getting three to four members a month and we want to be up to 120 by end of March.”

Ten Tips to Make 2015 Your Healthiest Year Yet! Cake again? Promoting healthy eating at work At a recent work celebration, I faced a conundrum. I’m on doctor’s orders to avoid caffeine and sugar, but the only food choices at the celebration were coffee, cake, and gluten-free brownies.

I mingled and chatted, but repeatedly had to turn down enthusiastic persuasions to have some cake, “Come on, it’s a special occasion,” “A little won’t hurt,” “Just scrape off the icing!”

Ironically, I am a registered dietitian and community nutritionist and I’ve been promoting healthier food environments for over 15 years. I didn’t want to turn the celebration into a workplace debate about making the healthy choice the easy choice, nor did I want to get into a discussion about my medical reasons for avoiding caffeine and sugar.

I looked around the room and wondered how many other staff might have appreciated a choice of a decaf bever-

age or a healthier treat? Since diabetes and being overweight are now so common, and everyone at the celebration worked in health care, I suspected a good majority of them would have.

When even health professionals aren’t serving healthy choices, we shouldn’t be surprised that people struggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I think we are all responsible to “walk our talk” at work by making sure healthy choices are available whether it’s a catered event, a potluck celebration, or just a kind gesture of bringing goodies to work for coworkers to enjoy. To me, it’s the same as having a smoke-free environment.

Healthy options don’t have to be complicated. Veggie and fruit trays are popular choices, and a small bowl of nuts or plate of cheese slices provide much needed protein (protein helps our brains stay alert at work). For beverages, offer decaf coffee, hot water and tea bags, and a jug of iced water alongside

the regular coffee.

Providing healthy options doesn’t mean sweet treats are not allowed.

When bringing baking from home, we can make smaller portions and choose healthier recipes. Bake Better Bites is a good place to start. If you’d like to offer up a creative and healthy alternative to cake at your next celebration – why not try making a watermelon cake decorated with whipping cream? I recently found this idea online and gave it a try.

It’s a little messy, but it’s a great tasting and healthier alternative to sugarloaded cake. Nutrition die-hards could serve the whipped cream on the side.

And don’t forget the fifth food group – most registered dietitians will tell you that tiny chocolates are a particularly great choice for mental health!

Winter superfoods for optimal health Illnesses seem to peak during the winter months. A tapped-out immune system as well as dry, cold air may encourage the spread of common viruses and bacterial infections more easily. As a result, it’s important that men, women and children take every step possible to ward off sickness when the temperatures drop. Dietary changes can make a world of difference, and more and more people are including these proven superfoods in their winter diets.

Avocado: Avocado has high levels of essential fatty acids and vitamin B6, which is important in the biosynthesis of important neurotransmitters. Foods high in B vitamins may be able to counteract some of the symptoms of winterrelated depression.

Pomegranate: This quirky fruit has vitamins C and K, folate and potassium and is a good source of fiber. Pomegranate has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help in reducing joint pain and preventing strokes. Pomegranate may also help the body fight viruses.

Cabbage: Cabbage may be a key element in the fight against cancer. Cabbage has phytochemicals that can protect the body against cancer-causing free radicals. It’s also a good source of dietary fiber, which can stimulate a sluggish digestive system.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon has high levels of antioxidants, and some studies point to cinnamon as a natural antibacterial agent. Cinnamon also can help regulate blood-glucose levels, which is beneficial for those with diabetes.

Butternut squash: This food is packed with carotenoids, which are stellar antioxidants. The starches in this squash also have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Prunes: Now widely referred to as “dried plums,” prunes are an important source of boron, which could prevent osteoporosis. High in antioxidants, prunes help the body fight a variety of illnesses.

Chestnuts: Chestnuts are worthy of inclusion in anyone’s diet. Unlike many nuts, chestnuts are relatively low in fat but have high levels of protein. They’re also packed with vitamin C and B vitamins.

n Corie Biberich, a Grade 7 student at Shuswap Middle School, takes a look at the inner workings of a computer during the Find Your Fit career preparation event held Friday, Feb. 6.

A hand-up for small business

From The hill Colin mayes The Minister of Finance Joe Oliver, announced the individual proposals by Visa and MasterCard to reduce credit card fees. The Minister said “In total, the two commitments represent a reduction in credit card fees of approximately 10 per cent.

These commitments represent a meaningful long-term reduction in costs for merchants that should ultimately result in lower prices for consumers.”

Canadians have told

us that they wanted better information on credit card charges, interest on unpaid balances and any other related costs to the credit card they hold. Credit card companies need to charge fees to recover costs, but consumer advocates have voiced concerns that the charges were excessive and not always clearly defined.

As we all know, consumers using credit cards must do so in a responsible manner so that credit card companies do not need to increase their credit card fees in order to cover the bad debts of a few customers.

Our government has also worked with small and medium sized businesses to help export their services and products. This initiative has been a great success.

A senior administrator for Economic Development Canada stated that never in the past has small and medium sized businesses been included in Canada’s export initiatives, but this government has included them, and it has had a huge impact on the success of these types of businesses.

Our government has also lowered the small businesses tax rate, eliminated tariffs on hundreds of products, provided Employment Insurance (EI) premium credits to businesses as well as implemented numerous red tape cutting measures.

Small and medium sized businesses are the back bone of our economy. Their success is good for growth, jobs and prosperity for all Canadians.

for your Valentine

Romantic films to watch together this Valentine’s Day Couples celebrate Valentine’s Day in many different ways.

For some the idea of dinner out followed by a stroll arm-in-arm seems the epitome of romance, while others may want to go out dancing or engage in a favorite hobby.

Valentine’s Day also can be a romantic endeavor if a couple chooses to spend time at one with each other watching a romantic movie. The following are a handful of love-inspired movies that can add a special something to Valentine’s Day festivities. · The Notebook: Author Nicholas Sparks

has a way of taking the everyday experiences in a person’s life and making them relatable and heartbreaking in a pluckat-your-heartstrings sort of way. His novel “The Notebook” won the hearts of many and seemed a natural to be adapted to film.

Starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, the movie illustrates how love can last through the years and even survive an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. · The Proposal: In order to remain in the country, a demanding New York-based book editor (Sandra Bullock) asks her brow-

beaten assistant (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her. Their tumultuous relationship involves a trip to Alaska to meet his family. · An Affair to Remember: Romantic melodramatic master Cary Grant falls in love with Deborah Kerr aboard a cruise ship while they are traveling with other people. They agree to meet at the top of the Empire State Building in six months if they have ended their relationships and are ready to commit to each other. Grant makes it to the rendezvous spot, but an injured Kerr never

shows as Grant assumes she has rejected the proposal. · Say Anything: In pursuit of a woman he believes is out of his social league, Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) creates hope for the underdog in us all.

The movie inspired teens to raise their boom box radios over their heads and blast romantic tunes to illustrate their love. · The Wedding Singer: This quirky movie about a wedding singer who falls for a banquet waitress highlights the importance of loving each other for what makes you unique. · Once: Attraction between the main characters comes by way of creative musical collaboration.

Music proves to be an aphrodisiac, making the film and the

song “Falling Slowly” from its score so popular. This romantic tale helped take the film from the big screen to the Broadway stage. · West Side Story: “West Side Story” is yet another homage to “Romeo and Juliet.” But the film made Shakespeare’s tragic love story relatable to audiences of the 1960s. · My Best Friend’s Wedding: Julianne (Julia Roberts) is called on to be the “best man” for her friend’s (Dermot Mulroney) wedding.

Only when the wedding planning is underway does Julianne realize she is in love with her friend and needs to get him to fall for her instead.

·Never Been Kissed: A reporte r goes undercover at a high school to discover something controversial and ends up being the subject of her story when she falls in love with her English teacher. · Harold and Maude: A man in his twenties and a much older woman begin a romantic relationship and challenge social norms along the way. · Annie Hall: Winner of four Academy Awards, “Annie Hall” follows a comedian who is trying to maintain his relationship with a woman. · Bridget Jones’ Diary: A modern adaptation of “Pride and

Prejudice,” the movie tells the tale of a selfconscious woman who finds love in a man that seems to be her polar opposite. · Ten Things I Hate About You: Filmmakers reinvented “The Taming of the Shrew” in this teen comedy starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. · Casablanca: No romantic movie list would be complete without this wartime drama.

Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman are in top form in this movie of chance meetings. · The Princess Bride: Girl meets boy, girl detests boy, girl truly loves boy, and then girl loses boy. This fairy tale shares the purity of true love and happily ever after.

Honour for region’s sterile insect program The Okanagan-Kootenay Sterile Insect Release (OKSIR) Program has been nominated for an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Achievement Award, to be awarded this spring at the 8th International IPM Symposium in Salt Lake City, Utah, March 23 to 26.

The OKSIR program has been successfully controlling codling moths in the apple and pear growing areas of the Okanagan, Shuswap and Similkameen areas for more than 20 years.

The program has been garnering a lot of international interest from areas and companies looking to recreate its success with codling moths (USA, New Zealand, France), or looking to use its approaches with other pests (Switzerland, France). The program operates from Salmon Arm to Osoyoos, and into the Similkameen Valley, under the direction of general manager Cara Nelson.

“It’s an honour to be formally recognized by the international integrated pest management community,” Nelson said.

Since the beginning of the program, the amount of pesticides used against codling moth has been reduced by 96 per cent, Nelson said.

n A seasonal home in Anglemont Estates was picked up and turned around by a mudslide on Sunday, Feb. 8. Erosion adjacent to Vickers Trail road caused material to slide down the bank.

Landslide carries cabin

By Martha Wickett

MArKet neWs stAff

Warm weather, heavy rain and melting snow resulted in a landslide in the North Shuswap.

Witnesses say a section of a gravel road at the upper end of Vickers Trail in Anglemont Estates sloughed away into a gully on Sunday, Feb. 8, destroying a seasonal home on Hudson Road.

The cabin, which was vacant at the time, was pushed about 12 meters and turned sideways by the mud.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure issued a statement reporting that the ministry’s maintenance contractor has closed the road until a geotechnical assessment can be completed.

However, alternate access is available to the other homes in the area.

The ministry stated the erosion is isolated to Vickers Trail road and, as of midweek, there was no risk to other homes in the area.

Along with the house, power lines were downed by the landslide.

The Anglemont Volunteer Fire Department

was called in because of trees igniting over the electrical lines.

Cliff Doherty, Shuswap Emergency Program co-ordinator, cautioned people not to travel past the road barricades as portions of the road have disappeared.

Environment Canada reports that two longstanding temperature records were broken in Salmon Arm in the past few days.

On Friday, Feb. 6, the mercury soared to

N

ow

B

kin o o

11.1 C at the Salmon Arm Airport, breaking the record of an even 10 C set in 1963.

The sun raised the temperature to 11.5 degrees Sunday, beating the old record of 9.5 C set in 1978.

“For the meantime, temperatures are going to be five and six degrees above normal,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Matt MacDonald, noting normal high temperatures are in the neighbourhood of plus 2 C,

not the plus 8, expected this week.

“Starting Sunday, there is a cooling trend.”

MacDonald says the southwest weather pattern will shift to the northwest, bringing cooler air and the possibility of snow in surrounding mountains.

It won’t be a cold snap, but will bring more normal temperatures through the second half of February compared to the mild start to the month.

Heat still in second after faltering on road

By Scott Koch contributor

So the Chase Heat Hockey Team played a trio of contests on the Family Day long weekend. The outcome was great at home and ugly on the road.

Friday , Feb. 6 saw the talented Nelson Leafs at the Art Holding Memorial Arena in front of a good-sized crowd.

There was no scoring until seven minutes into the second period when Kaleb Boyle scored his 47th career power-play goal, assisted by Trevor Okino and Chad Wilde.

Nelson got that one back with a 5-on-3 power-play goal to tie things up. In the third, Chase popped three in the enemy’s net to take a 4-1 victory! It was Kolten Moore from Alex Durbeniuk and Tommy Brown, followed by Logan Mostat on the power play from Moore and Brown. With 50 seconds to go, Moore, unassisted, got an empty netter. Nic Bruyere went the distance in this goaltender battle, stopping 46 of 47 to be named ‘Home’ star.

On Saturday, Feb. 7 in 100 Mile House, good fortune took a back seat due to a lack of overall effort.

In a chippy contest versus the Wranglers, the Heat lost 5-1. The only Heat marker was in the middle frame from Cody Hodges from Okino and Boyle.

Family Day saw the Heat versus the

Kamloops Storm in the big smoke.

An opportunity to redeem themselves fell flat as the Kamloops squad posted a 5-3 win.

Chase got on the board in the first, Brown from Tyler Mork and Travis Beaubien. Pat Brady, with his first ever KIJHL goal, also scored in the first from Michael Fidanza and Okino. In the third, Hodges, from Brady and Boyle, gave the travelling fan base some hope, but the outplayed, outgunned Chase crew had little interest in the outcome and were rewarded with a loss they fully deserved. Pat Brady, with a goal and two assists, received the ‘Away’ star.

Ice chips: Nic Bruyere was a bright light in goal all weekend who received little support from his teammates.

Brady and fellow affiliate player Michael Fidanza both showed desire and talent in the Kamloops contest.

Durbeniuk got his first penalty of the year in the home ice win for shooting the puck over the glass!

The Heat remain in second place in the division standings but will have to win Friday to clinch home-ice advantage in the first round. Friday, Feb. 13, 100 Mile is in Chase at 7 p.m. and Saturday the Heat hit the road to play the Grizzlies in Revelstoke.

The playoffs commence the weekend of Feb. 20. Home or away? To be determined.

rick koch photo

n Chase Heat’s Wesley Matsuda is triple-teamed as he crosses the blue line into the Nelson Leafs zone with the puck, looking to add to a 1-0 lead in the second period. Nelson Leafs player #21 Austin Seaman slows up Matsuda from behind as #12 Aaron Dunlap and #24 Robson Cramer help out by knocking the puck away. The Leafs would tie the game 1-1 with less then 10 seconds left in the second period. Chase Heat would add three goals in the third period to beat the Nelson Leafs by a final score of 4-1.

Fruits and vegetables: Are you eating enough?

LIVING WELL February is Heart Month and eating a healthy diet plays an important role in preventing heart disease.

If I had to recommend just one thing people could do to eat healthier it would be to eat more vegetables and fruit. Research clearly connects vegetable and fruit consumption to health and longevity.

Most Canadians still fall short of the Canada

Food Guide recommendation for adults to eat seven to 10 servings a day. How many servings of vegetables and fruit did you eat yesterday? Before you count, consider how big a serving size actually is. One serving of vegetables is half a cup chopped (fresh, frozen or canned) or one cup of raw leafy greens. One serving of fruit is half a cup chopped (fresh, frozen, or canned) or a whole medium sized fruit. A half cup of 100 per cent fruit or vegetable juice also counts as a serving but it is better to eat

whole fruits and vegetables than to drink juice because fruit juices are a concentrated source of sugar and store-bought vegetable juices are usually high in salt.

Seven to 10 servings of vegetables and fruit may sound like a lot. If you are not accustomed to it, the volume can seem daunting. Many vegetables are very low in calories so you do get a lot of nutrients, fibre, and disease fighting phytochemicals in very few calories.

For example, a cup of spinach has just seven calories and provides

fibre as well as vitamins and minerals like vitamin K, vitamin A, folate, magnesium, potassium, and iron that support good health.

With year-round availability and many convenient options, it’s never been easier to eat lots of vegetables and fruit. Here are some tips to help.

• Aim for half a plate of vegetables at lunch and supper.

• Buy berries when in season. Freeze for easy nutritious desserts or for adding to smoothies or home baking.

• After you shop, pre-pack baggies of

BABCOCK, ELEANOR BURNS (HANNAH) NEE DIXON July 25, 1929 – Jan. 29, 2015 Eleanor was truly a free and fun loving spirit. She was loved and admired by all who knew her true nature, charisma and tenacity.

She loved all things in nature, an animal lover and an advocate for animals.

Our heart breaks for losing such a great Mom, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Aunt, and Friend. She lived life to the fullest, joining in on the fun where ever she happened to be at the time. She was a great listener to all her many friends, always keeping in touch by phone.

Eleanor was an adventurer too, she travelled solo in her motor home in the US and Mexico in her early retirement. She also joined in on the fun, boating and sailing with family and friends on the Ocean near Powell River. Earlier years she was a teacher and taught in Peace River in a one room school made of logs in 1949 (Sunset Prairie School), Richmond, BC (1949-1952) and North Vancouver, BC (1960-1970). Her most memorable times were spent at the cabin on Sheridan Lake. Sheridan Lake was her most favorite place in the world, and she shared the magic with all who came to visit.

The last ten years she resided at her daughter and son in law’s property at White Lake. There she grew beautiful flower gardens, walked her dog, fed the birds and enjoyed the scenic vista from her double wide. She lived independently next door and was still driving and maintaining her own home until shortly before her passing.

She will be forever missed by her family: children; Edward (Karen La Combe) Hannah, David (Desiree) Hannah, Susan (Bruce) Whitehead, step children; Rosemary (Daryl) Farquharson, Tim (Ida) Babcock, grandchildren; Jennifer Hannah, Duncan Hannah, Sophia (Jason) Mattioli, Marian (Phillipe Klein) Shukster, Beau (Carney Varga) Whitehead, Vicki, Trudy, Stacey and Terry, great grandchildren; Matthew Mattioli, Elisabeth Mattioli, Sven Sabo “Shukster”, Laura Klein and Brenna Varga. She was predeceased by her two husbands Lewis Babcock and Glenn Hannah, grandson Robert Hannah, sister Joan Graham and parents Leslie Dixon and Annie Dixon. Greatly admired and sadly missed by many nephews, nieces, greats and cousins as well as a long list of friends.

Forever in our hearts.

A celebration of Eleanor’s life will be held in April 2015. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to your local SPCA. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm. Email condolences and share memories through Eleanor’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

Duane is survived by his wife Carol, his nine children: Daryl, Dave (Abby), Lisa (Jesse), Tenille (Dave), Cheryl (Fred), Darcy (Trissteen), Stephanie, Dwayne (Jaide) and Sean and his eleven grandchildren who were the apple of his eyes.

Duane will always be remembered for being the one there for everyone else. He never said no to help someone out. He loved being outside, it wasn’t until later in life that he realized this and embraced the back country with the same gusto that he attempted anything in life. Duane was a jack of all trades, and to be perfectly honest, master of most of them. He drove the same truck for 20 years, because it still ran. There will not be a funeral because he did not want people to mourn his passing but embrace his life and all that he accomplished.

The celebration of life will be held at his home in Nazko, BC on June 20, 2015. The family requests that in lieu of flowers that a donation be made in Duane’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC.

We’re on the net at www.bcclassified.com SPRINGFIELD, TOM “PUFF” It is with great sadness that we announce that Tom Springfield, “PUFF”, died on Monday, January 19th.

Tom was born on September 27th, 1946, at Saint Boniface Hospital, Winnipeg, MB. He is survived by his loving mother, Joan Currie; his sister & brother-in-law, Lynn and Lee Taschuk, niece’s & nephew’s: Rob & Natasha Horsman; Sarah, Chelsea, Jessica, Josiah, & Levi Taschuk, and numerous aunts, uncles, & cousins.

A celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, February 7th, at The Bridge Community Church, 2100 Gordon Drive, at 2:30 p.m.

Tom loved and served the dear Lord Jesus with his whole heart, and for many years he was dedicated to running the overhead projector at New Life, and later at The Bridge and Free Believers in Christ 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 so we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Tom is now home with the Lord, in that we rejoice.

Online condolences may be sent through Tom’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC

DUCHARME, TASHANNA MARIE 1978 – 2015 Bert and Debra are heart broken to announce the sudden passing of our beloved daughter Tashanna Marie Ducharme on Feb 2 in Vancouver.

She was born June 10, 1978 in Ft Nelson.

Tashanna is survived by a large loving family including maternal Grandparents, Jim and Elly Read of Vernon, 19 Aunts and Uncles, hundreds of cousins and many, many friends.

Tashanna was a talented artist with a kind and generous sprit. Her paintings and costumes brought life to many events. She was “mother earth” leading the save the rivers and painted all those stick salmon still seen regularly across Vancouver.

Her many costumes and artistic creations will be treasured.

Tashanna led an adventurous life – Never a dull moment – She loved to travel and had seen many parts of the world. Born in a small town she had a big city heart. She was active in multiple causes and rallies in the lower mainland of B.C. specifically those relating to the environment, First Nations, and the social determinants of health. She was an advocate to her core.

We remembered Tashanna on Thursday February 12th, 2:00 p.m. at the Elks Hall in Salmon Arm. It was a casual, colorful affair. Goodbye to our unique, wonderful and cherished CHAOS FAERIE.

Helping with Ebola crisis

Life Insurance

By Roger Knox BLACK PRESS

Some days, Kendell Kauffeldt admits, he’d wake up with a sore throat and wonder.

Wonder if he had the Ebola virus that, in 2014, was sweeping through the West African country of Liberia, where Kauffeldt has been based as country director for the Calgary-based Samaritan’s Purse organization since 2004.

Part of his mandate includes being the Ebola response manager.

He and his staff, which includes 400 nationals and 20 ex-pats, were having their temperatures taken four times a day during the outbreak.

“The longest 30 seconds of the day is waiting for that thermometer to beep so you can look at the results,” said Kauffeldt, 44, who was in Vernon, Kelowna and Kamloops presenting to government officials on the Ebola outbreak.

“At the end of the day, you have an upset stomach and you wonder, ‘is this Ebola?’

You’re constantly going through that. The situation was overwhelming because of the whole stress and fear.”

Ebola’s symptoms include fever, vomiting and diarrhea, followed by bleeding, organ failure and death.

“Because the symptoms are so common, you wake up in the morning, take your temperature and actually write it on a piece of paper, staple it to your shirt so we know you’re healthy and we can work with you,” said Kauffeldt, who arrived in Liberia in 2005 with Samaritan’s Purse to help the country respond to the end of its civil crisis.

He is joined in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, by his wife, Beverly, daughter of OkanaganShuswap MP Colin Mayes, and their two sons. Neither Kauffeldt, his wife, family or any of his staff have contracted the deadly virus. As of late January, nearly 21,700 cases of

Because we know your everyday life isn’t thinking about the rest of your life.

ROGER KNOX/BLACK PRESS

n Salmon Arm’s Kendell Kauffeldt (MP Colin Mayes’ son-in-law) is the country director for Liberia, as well as the country’s Ebola response leader, for the Calgary-based Samaritan’s Purse organization.

Ebola had been recorded, killing almost 8,700 people.

When Ebola hit the country in March 2014, Samaritan’s Purse and Doctors Without Borders were the only organizations responding, and both began a massive awareness campaign teaching Liberians how to protect themselves. As the outbreak escalated, Samaritan’s Purse began to clinically respond which involved the running and management of Ebola treatment units.

“My staff were putting on hazmat suits,” said Kauffeldt. “We were involved in the front end. At that point of the outbreak, Doctors Without Borders were overwhelmed and could not respond.

As an organization, we were the lead in responding to Ebola. We saw everything at that point.

“The situation became overwhelming.

The number of cases outgrew the strategy and response by the government and UN agencies.”

Because Samaritan’s Purse had been in Liberia for nearly 10 years, Kauffeldt said it has been able to establish

good relationships with the country’s government which allowed it the credibility to respond to the outbreak.

“The outbreak is now a global event and Canada is not immune to potential threats in the future,” said Kauffeldt which is one of the reasons he’s speaking to government about his experiences.

Kauffeldt and his family plan to return to Liberia later this month.

We have the same kind of family life you do. We rush to the same soccer practices, the same recitals, the same parent-teacher meetings. And we wonder where the day went at the end of it. We know Life Insurance needs because we know life is anything but predictable — and we know how important family security is. Which is why we work with you to make sure that’s exactly what you’ve got.

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS:

Deborah Chapman In 1990, the Museum Association at RJ Haney Heritage Village was looking for a curator/archivist at the Salmon Arm Museum. Deborah Chapman got the job. With her wry, self-deprecating humour, she says she didn’t know bathrooms were involved. Today, she still holds the position and is famous for her cemetery tours.

After high school and college in Kamloops, BC, Deborah and her husband, Dennis Zachernuk, moved to Nova Scotia. She attended St. Mary’s University. Dennis went to Dalhousie. He earned a law degree and Deborah a degree in Archeology, as well as a diploma in Early Childhood Education from the Nova Scotia Teachers’ College. During the seven years they lived in student housing with two kids, Deborah ran a babysitting co-op whose members exchanged labour and helped run a food co-op as well. She also volunteered at The Citadel, cataloguing historic archaeological artefacts.

Westerners at heart, Deborah and Dennis returned to Vancouver after obtaining their degrees, where their third child was born, then moved to Prince George. There she got involved with kids’ activities and non-profits, sitting on the Little League board, volunteering in the schools and as a Beaver leader. She founded and ran a family daycare. She volunteered at the Fraser Fort George Regional Museum, where she took her first museum course. She continued with museum and archival studies after the family moved to Salmon Arm in 1989, where Dennis took up a position with a legal firm.

Deborah carried on with her volunteer work, chairing the board of the Salmon Arm Sockeyes Swim Club and continuing to help in the schools her children attended. In 1991 she began collecting hearing aids for third world countries after her godmother introduced her to the program. She became a volunteer with the Salmon Arm Community Heritage Commission in 2009 and she’s been the regional representative of the Archives Association of BC for the past eight years.

Being socially responsible is a Chapman family trait; volunteerism is a way of life for her.

Deborah was recently credited with a staff writer byline by the Salmon Arm Observer newspaper, probably, she says, because she’s written so many articles for the paper. “Must be volunteer work too, because I haven’t seen a paycheque yet,” she said with her tongue wedged firmly in her cheek.

She and Dennis now have two granddaughters who live with their parents in Japan that they don’t see often enough. They also have two surrogate grandchildren here in Salmon Arm and Deborah loves volunteering in their classrooms. They’ve already created their first museum exhibit.

In 2006 Deborah was invited to volunteer on the Shuswap Community Foundation’s Grants Committee, working under the tutelage of Lois Higgins. She had been helping the Chase Museum write grant applications and wanted to help other small charitable organizations access grants to fund activities in their communities. She was appointed to the board in 2008 and took over as Chair of the Grants Selection and Grants in Aid Committees in 2009, a position she continues to hold.

“If we work together we can make a big difference and that difference can make our community a better place.” Deborah has spent a lifetime making her community a better place while her community continues to shape her. Shuswap Community Foundation is indeed fortunate to have a person of Deborah’s integrity and compassion on its board.
