Arson suspected in Blind Bay fire

By Barb Brouwer

markEt nEws staff

A fire that destroyed a large two-storey residence at 1546 Blind Bay Rd. has been deemed suspicious.

“There are a number of reasons for this,” says Columbia Shuswap Regional District Regional Fire Chief Kenn Mount of the fire that was reported at 11 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 27. “There were very few possessions inside, the timing of it, no tampering of electrical and

the intensity of the fires, as well as residents reporting explosions.”

As well, Mount says a shed on the property had been emptied, there was evidence that garbage had been burned and there were no vehicles on-site, indicating to Mount that the house was vacant.

“There’s too much damage to determine an accelerant or a source; we have no evidence,” he said, noting the file will be turned over to the RCMP.

Shuswap Fire Chief Gary Hoult says some 16 Shuswap Fire Department volunteers responded and arrived to discover a fully involved fire with flames already through the roof and coming out of the doors and windows.

Hoult received watertender support from White Lake and Tappen fire departments so there would be an adequate water supply, and the CSRD Rehab Unit was on scene to support firefighters.

Sockeye returns shockingly low

By Barb Brouwer

markEt nEws staff

Expectations were high, but the 2015 late South Thompson sockeye run has been disastrous.

A daily visual observation of late-run sockeye in the Adams River on Oct. 8 revealed only 2,925 fish in the lower Adams River. No laterun sockeye were observed in upper Adams River two days later on Oct. 10.

Four years ago, laterun salmon were in the millions, sparking hopes of a large return this year. But pre-run estimates of 1.2 million were quickly dropped to 200,000 for the entire Fraser River run – about half of which were expected to enter the South Thompson, with good numbers continuing on to the Little Shuswap, Shuswap Lake and Adams River. Because the numbers turned out to be so low, Fisheries Canada decided to dispense with the intensive tag and re-capture generally used to obtain an accurate count.

Stu Cartwright, acting area director of the federal Fisheries and Oceans Canada for the

B.C. Interior, says they believe the less intensive method of visual counting has produced accurate estimates of the number of fish.

“We know there was a lot of pre-spawn mortality in the sockeye and that complicates things four years down the road,” says Cartwright noting that while low water levels and high water temperatures were likely factors, they may not tell the whole story.

“A lot didn’t arrive, that’s the big thing, only 200,000 entered the river… but we won’t have a final number until sometime in the new year.”

Cartwright has happier news about the chinook run that includes the Little Shuswap, Adams, Salmon and Eagle rivers.

“It looks like it will meet or exceed the brood year of 150,000 fish, which we consider to be quite a success,” he says, praising officers and volunteers for their efforts in helping chinook enter the Salmon River. “We would like to see more on the Salmon River; it has a capacity for more.”

n A speedboat ends up embedded inside Ken Brown’s houseboat after a 2010 crash on Shuswap Lake.

The speedboat driver, Leon Reinbrecht, was found guilty Tuesday of two counts of criminal negligence.

FILE PHOTO

Boat operator found guilty

By Cam Fortems

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Travelling on the blackness of Shuswap Lake more than five years ago, Leon Reinbrecht piloted his speedboat too fast, wasn’t looking for hazards and did not follow a consistent course when he struck a houseboat, killing its operator, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled.

Justice Sheri Donegan found Leon Reinbrecht guilty on Tuesday of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm in connection with the July 3, 2010 crash in Magna Bay that left houseboat operator Ken Brown dead at the scene and at least five other people injured.

The resulting impact from the crash following post-Canada Day fireworks on the lake resulted in Reinbrecht’s boat coming to a stop inside the houseboat.

Reinbrecht’s defence lawyers suggested the Crown had not proven Reinbrecht was piloting his speedboat dangerously, suggesting instead Brown was at fault because his houseboat was not properly lit and he was intoxicated.

But Donegan agreed with Crown prosecutors Camille Cook and Neil Flanagan that there is ample evidence Reinbrecht’s “joyride” that night — after he dropped off several passengers on shore and returned for a nighttime cruise at speeds between 30 and 40 m.p.h. (48

to 64 km/h), cutting doughnuts and zig-zagging — was reckless and endangered the safety of his passengers and others.

“It constitutes a pattern of wanton or reckless behaviour that amounts to a marked and substantial departure from the standard of care of a reasonably prudent operator in the circumstances,” Donegan said.

Brown’s sister, Patty Oliver, said the verdict comes as a relief after more than five years of awaiting justice.

“We all knew in our minds he was guilty,” said Oliver, who watched the trial that spanned 30 days of trial time over six months.

“It wasn’t intentional. It was just stupid.”

Oliver said family and friends, along with people who are still injured from the crash, want an acknowledgement from Reinbrecht.

“You made a mistake,” she said. “Own up to what you did.”

However, it’s not clear if Donegan’s ruling is the last word for Reinbrecht.

Defence lawyer Joe Doyle earlier filed a Charter application, putting the court on notice he reserves the right to challenge any conviction based on unreasonable delays. He told Donegan he will take instruction from Reinbrecht whether he wants to continue that application, which has yet to be heard.

The trial heard from more than 50 witnesses, many of

whom were on shore or aboard a boat that night. The crash happened after boat traffic on the lake had thinned out, about 11:15 p.m. Brown was piloting a straight course at a moderate speed toward home.

While Donegan acknowledged Brown was impaired by drugs and alcohol at the time of the crash, she ruled there was nothing he could have done to prevent the nearly head-on collision.

She also found his houseboat’s green and red navigational lights and a stern light were visible, as was an interior cabin light.

“In my view, the evidence proves that Mr. Brown had no chance to react to the motorboat as it approached... Only seconds passed between the motorboat’s last joyriding manoeuvre and its impact with the houseboat.”

The B.C. Supreme Court justice found Reinbrecht had just completed a u-turn and was accelerating back up to 30 m.p.h. (48 km/h) — looking back at his passenger — when his boat slammed into Brown’s houseboat.

“There is no question in my mind that Mr. Reinbrecht’s conduct is sufficient to support the conclusion he bears the necessary moral responsibility,” Donegan ruled.

A conviction of criminal negligence causing death carries with it a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Thank You!

THANK YOU to the many volunteers who supported me over the past months. You offered me your time, your effort, your support, and your conviction. No campaign can succeed without the dedication of its volunteers; I can’t begin to thank you enough for yours.

Murder trial moved to May

By Tim Petruk

KAMOOPS THIS WEEK

A trial date has been set for two alleged killers accused of gunning down a man in a Salmon Arm schoolyard seven years ago.

Tyler Myers was shot to death in a park outside Bastion Elementary on Nov. 21, 2008. The 22-yearold’s body was discovered the following day.

Four years later, a 20-year-old man and

a 21-year-old woman were arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Because both accused were youths at the time of the alleged murder, neither can be named under provisions of the Youth Justice Act. At the time of the arrests, police said both of the accused were known to Myers.

Pre-trial proceedings began in April in B.C. Supreme Court

in Kamloops. A jury trial was scheduled to have begun this month, but the pre-trial hearings have taken up all scheduled court time.

In court on Wednesday, lawyers agreed to begin the trial on May 30, 2016, with jury selection slated to take place beforehand.

The trial is expected to take six weeks.

The male accused is in custody. The female accused is not in custody.

Liberal cabinet a good test case

Prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau has vowed to have an equal gender split in his cabinet, to be announced next week.

As expected, not everyone was thrilled with Trudeau’s decision to create an even split in his cabinet. On social media, some criticized him, pointing out that it may be irresponsible to not install the best candidate for each post.

Historically, as female political veterans can attest, that hasn’t always happened as the old boys’ network has tended to dominate.

The numbers from the federal election were moderately encouraging.

Eighty-eight women were elected, or 26 per cent of the total of 338 seats. While that’s 12 more female voices in the house – representing about 40 per cent of the 30 new ridings – it’s barely higher than the 25 per cent in the previous Parliament.

Nonetheless, it was good to see more women running. Among the big three parties, the NDP had the closest to a gender split. Of its 338 candidates, 146 (43.2 per cent) were women, and 18 of its elected MPs (40.9 per cent) are female. The Liberals will have the most women, 50, in Parliament, or roughly 27 per cent of their total of 184 MPs. The Conservatives lagged well behind, with just 17.2 per cent of its 99 seats (17 MPs) to be held by women.

Balancing the cabinet is a bold move by Trudeau and makes a statement unparalleled in Canadian federal government history.

In doing so he is showing faith and trust in the abilities of women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to show what they can do.

We’re confident these newcomers will shine when put in positions of leadership, even under the harsh glare of the old guard.

OpiniOn

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Looking for repeal of legislation It would seem that prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau and his Liberal majority government are off to a good start when it comes to keeping their election promises. He has invited NDP party leader Thomas Mulcair, Green Party leader Elizabeth May and all of the provincial premiers to attend the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference being held Nov. 30 to Dec. 11 in Paris. Inclusiveness is certainly a nice alternative to secretiveness.

The new (Liberal) federal government also seems to be indicating they are more willing to work with the provinces when it comes to issues such as emissionsreduction plans. And, while the new federal government has not yet had a chance to put forward a formal, specific environmental action plan, they have put forward plans to establish a new climate change framework (by February 2016) that includes “the phasing out of fossil fuel subsidies,” as well as investment in climate resilience, clean technology and low-carbon

The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray infrastructure.”

They have also stated that they plan to set aside some $2 billion for emissionsreducing projects through a new Low Carbon Economy Trust.

This new federal government is also promising to undo some of the damage done by the previous Conservative government to Canada’s environmental laws and environmental assessment process which were brought in to sidestep the need for environmental assessment of proposed projects like oil and gas pipelines.

The new federal government is promising a “revamped review process which promises to be

evidence-based and allow for more meaningful participation by the public” as well as plans to incorporate “more science” into (federal) environmental assessments including the “consideration of climate change and environmental impacts” of things such as oil sands and pipeline projects. Under the previous Conservative government the environmental impact of oil sands projects were considered “outside the relevant scope” of pipeline reviews.

While prime ministerelect Trudeau has publicly voiced his support for both the Kinder Morgan and Keystone XL pipeline projects, he has also acknowledged that “even though it is the federal government that grants permits, it is ultimately the communities that grant permission.”

Again, inclusiveness is certainly a nice alternative to secretiveness.

The previous Conservative government worked hard to weaken, undermine and when possible eliminate many of Canada’s strongest and most impor-

tant environmental laws, including the Fisheries Act and the Navigable Waters Act. The new Liberal government has promised to review changes to both of these acts and to reinstate what was altered and/or removed where possible.

They have also promised to reinstate some $40 million in funding for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. And they are promising a moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic along B.C.’s northern coast.

A new version of the Species at Risk Act is apparently also part of the new government’s overall plan for the environment.

It is too soon to know all that the new federal government has in its plans for the environment, just as it is too soon to know what plans they will ultimately carry out. But it is nevertheless, refreshing to know that their plans, at least on the surface, are respectful of both the land and the people that live on this planet of ours. Only time will tell.

But again, inclusiveness is certainly a nice alternative to secretiveness.

A trail steeped in history ShuSwAp pASSion Jim Cooperman Many hikers were disappointed when the Bear Creek Flume Trail in Roderick Haig-Brown Park was closed last year due to a washout and decayed bridges that were no longer safe to cross.

Fortunately, BC Parks was able to fund the reconstruction of the trail during the last few months. Four new steel bridges, new stairs, and cedar handrails have been installed by a contractor, which has vastly improved the route. The trail remains officially closed, however, because the last bridge has yet to be replaced.

The popular trail follows the creek with multiple crossings and then loops back along the route of the log flume.

Remnants of the timbers used for the flume can still be found. In some hilly areas, the soil had been excavated to ensure there was a consistent grade for the flume. Either these large ditches had been dug with some type of steam shovel or by teams of men with shovels. It is a wonderful loop trail, with scenic views of the creek, old growth forest and waterfalls.

A federal employ-

ment program crew first constructed the trail along with the bridges, steps and guardrails in 1987, when the area was a forest service recreation area. It was not until the Kamloops land use plan was completed in 1996, that the 90 hectares surrounding Bear Creek were added to Roderick Haig-Brown Park.

The story of the flume begins in 1908, when the Adams River Lumber Company established its mill and the town of Chase.

It was a massive sawmill, the third largest in the province, and during its 20 years of operation it removed one billion board feet of the best timber from the Adams River watershed. Two loggers standing on springboards used seven- to 10-foot-long crosscut saws to fell the trees.

During the first three years of operation, the logging concentrated on the timber within a half-mile from the shoreline of the lake and river.

A splash dam, which decimated the Upper Adams River salmon run, was built on the lower river near the lake to control the flow of water. It allowed the logs to be sent down the river to the lake, where they boomed and were then towed to the mill.

By 1912, the nearby timber became scarce and the company was forced to develop other methods for long-distance log transport. At the headwaters of Bear Creek there was a small

n New bridges span Bear Creek on the Flume Trail. lake (Skamana Lake) surrounded by timber.

A dam with head gates and a V-shaped flume were built to float the logs the 11 miles down to the river. In order to maintain a constant flow of water, it was necessary to construct the flume with a steady grade. In some areas, the trestles carrying the flume were 50- to 80-feet-high to cross gullies.

Although it was expensive to build, costing approximately $132,000, and was only functional for part of the year, the flume proved to be incredibly efficient. Logs travelled the 11 miles in only 15 minutes. No records exist about any loggers trying out what would have been the ultimate water slide! Once the timber was logged and the flume use was discontinued, many of the timbers were hauled away by nearby homesteaders to use for their construction projects.

Retired Adams Lake tugboat operator Frank Fraser recalls how his father Dave, built their two-storey home out of six by 12 timbers piled atop each other, similar

to log home construction. The house is still in use today.

There is also a lower flume trail, which includes a bridge over Bear Creek and stone steps, that was also built in 1987. It too is a joy to hike, especially during a peak salmon run, as it ends at a side channel of the river frequented by spawning salmon.

As part of the trail renovation, there is a new parking lot adjacent to the highway that features a full-size replica of a section of the flume.

Resident asks for respect at mail box

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Tom Wainwright is not alone in wishing some Ford and Vella road residents would improve their mailbox manners.

He estimates there are about 14 banks of mailboxes, each with about 12 personal mail slots.

“Every time we get our mail, we witness the blatant disregard that some folks display by leaving their flyers to blow around in the wind, he says.

“We’re simply asking the neighbours to put a little statement there if they don’t want flyers.”

Another option, and one Wainwright calls a good-news story, is that one of the neighbours has placed a bin near the boxes and disposes of the flyers that people deposit there.

“He’s just doing it

out of the goodness of his heart,” Wainwright says noting the Vella Road resident would not want his name published.

Honours for entrepreneurship Mayor’s Message Nancy Cooper The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has released its ranking of Canada’s most entrepreneurial cities and I am pleased to re-

port that Salmon Arm ranked ninth in all of Canada in the 25,000 – 149,999 population size.

CFIB states in their article: “Any time we peer into the inner workings of a local economy, at its core we see the strong beating heart of entrepreneurship. No economy can exist – let alone grow – without the actions of individuals who invest, employ and produce goods and services.”

It takes a special type of person to be an en-

trepreneur. An entrepreneur is a risk-taker who has the determination to stick with it through uncertainty, has perseverance and truly believes in what he or she is doing. An entrepreneur must have a vision and be fearless.

I believe my grandfather would have said entrepreneurs must have “intestinal fortitude, just plain guts.”

The Business Development Corporation’s website states that SME (Small, Medium Enterprises) represent

99.8 per cent of all companies and employ 64 per cent of private sector workers. It further states they are the engine of the economy.

In addition, there have been many articles published on how small business contributes to the Canadian economy and that they have moved Canada out of the recession of 2008.

A big thank you goes out to all of our entrepreneurs and small businesses for your vision, determination, hard work and for in-

Sobriety brings new songs

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAff

Singer songwriter Séan McCann is on his way.

Like the lyrics of one of his new songs, he doesn’t know where but he knows he’s heading in the right direction.

A founding member of the wildly popular Great Big Sea who appeared at the 2001 Roots and Blues Festival, McCann is touring solo and will stop in Salmon Arm on Nov. 8.

He still lends his rich gravelly voice to many of the songs he wrote and performed with Great Big Sea but has a number of new, powerful songs written since leaving the group and the booze behind.

His efforts to deal with painful experiences that he used to bury in alcohol are in the lyrics of much of his new work.

“You can say things in a song that you might not be able to say; they let you deal with the problem, not just cover it over,” he says.

“It was a great place to hide being an alcoholic,” he said of the continual party atmosphere. “Great Big Sea had the same set list for 15 years. I was stuck there and I had to keep moving – that’s what an artist should do.”

He is proud of the work he did with Great Big Sea but says many

phoTo coNTRibuTEd

n Every one of Séan McCann’s new songs has its own artwork. differences of opinion on what the band should do and where it should go had surfaced several years earlier and the ending was ugly and painful.

McCann had tried many times to overcome his addiction but found the strength to get sober after his wife, Andrea, told him he would lose her and his children if he didn’t stop drinking.

“I’m really glad she had the courage to do that; she knew I was killing myself and I heard that,” he says.

“You tell your kids how to live their lives, then you have to tell yourself, ‘maybe I can learn something from my kids.’”

The first nine months of sobriety were extremely difficult and lonely, but McCann says he had the comfort of his songs and his

guitar. Since leaving the band, McCann released an album produced by Joel Plaskett, entitled Help Your Self, and over the summer unveiled another entitled the You Know I Love You Collection of Songs.

“They truly represent who I am. Once I sobered up I figured out this is me,” he says, noting the ‘game of fame’ and the money that came with it did not make him happy.

“Money seldom brings out the best in people. I still have something to say and I’m still making music, from a different motivation.”

At 48, McCann said he wants the second half of his life to be better.

“You have to acknowledge the shadows, you can’t keep pretending they’re not there,” he says. “I’m looking for something

more substantial; it’s a harder path but I am happier.”

The lyrics may deal with difficult issues but the songs are far from being dirges. They speak of change, of renewal, light and hope of better times ahead.

Like the sea shanties he wrote for Great Big Sea, many of McCann’s songs have rich Celtic undertones and rousing reminders of the power of the ocean he was born beside.

McCann says if he has any regrets about his days with Great Big Sea, it is that he was isolated from his audiences.

Sobriety made other connections important to the artist, who volunteered his time to work with teens with addiction and mental-health issues. He says his reward was much greater than his giving.

“When I bring my guitar and start playing, the faces change, including mine,” he says of the power of music to heal.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Keep your haunted home safe for Halloween (NC) Eerie sounds, spooky lights and jacko’-lanterns aglow—extra efforts at Halloween will keep visitors coming back for both tricks and treats.

However, to keep the fun going, it’s important to plan your home’s scary set-up with safety in mind.

Decorations for special events, most often involving candles (like those found in jack-o’-lanterns), account for an average of 800 home fires in North America, causing nearly $4 million in direct property damage every year.

To keep your house from being haunted with potential insurance woes, Wayne Ross, an insurance and claims expert for Aviva Canada, offers some

Halloween preparation tips for preventing fires and other insurance claims: • Practice fire safety: When setting up spooky electrical decorations and lighting, ensure that electrical outlets are not overloaded.

Consider battery or solar powered

lighting for your pumpkins.

• Make sure your walkways are safe: Although darkness may set the mood, keep walkways well lit and obstructionfree to reduce the risk of injury and to allow many goblins to walk through simultaneously.

• Check your insurance coverage: While homeowner policies generally will cover you and your property on Halloween, it is a good idea to contact your insurance broker to ensure that you have the right amount of coverage—especially with hundreds of small visitors to your home.

“It is the responsibility of homeowners to make sure their property is safe for visitors,” states Ross. “By taking some precautions, you can join in the celebrations and enjoy a safe night of fun.”

More detailed information is available from your insurance broker or at AvivaCanada.com. www.newscanada.com

Fall into a healthy routine this autumn (NC) As autumn appears, Canadians are gearing up to fall back into their regular routines. Whether it’s school or work, cities and towns are bustling with people back from summer vacation and prepping for a season of changing colours and crunching leaves.

With the crisp fall air, taking a deep breath shouldn’t be difficult at this time of the year. However, for many with lung conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, having serious breathing problems can be a regular occurrence. COPD,

which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, results in symptoms such as excessive coughing, coughing up phlegm and shortness of breath. When those symptoms worsen, or new persistent ones

arise, and they are serious enough to require a change in medication and/or hospitalization, it is likely a sign of a lung attack.

If you have a history of lung attacks and are having more than one of these a year, it means your COPD could be better managed.

Make sure to tell your doctor if you think you’ve experienced a lung attack since your last visit, so they are fully aware of how frequent these incidents are.

Also, talk to your doctor about treatment options that may help reduce the number of lung attacks you

Unusual election occurrences in riding

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAff

They weren’t dirty tricks by a long shot, but a couple of unusual circumstances occurred during the 2015 election campaign in North Okanagan-Shuswap.

Dan Shields, owner of McGuire Lake Congregate Living facility in Salmon Arm, confirms that a mobile voting poll came to the facility on election day, Oct. 19.

“Typically they come and set up a temporary polling booth, and so they came and made arrangements to do so like they always do. They were coming from 9 a.m. to 10:30.”

He said a sign was put up announcing when the poll would be open.

“On the day of the election, most of the residents were there right when it opened, just finishing breakfast and they’re eager…”

However, one person came by at 10:15 and, on the sign, the ‘three’ in 10:30 had been replaced by a zero.

“He said, ‘That’s not right’ and handed me his registration card.”

So Shields phoned Elections Canada who said they would send the employee back.

Then Elections Canada called back to say the polling person had spoken to one of Shields’ employees who said the poll didn’t need to be there the whole hour and a half.

“Realistically, no one had that power” to shut down a polling station early, says Shields, particularly when all the residents received voter information cards outlining when and where to vote. He then called Elections Canada staff back and told them the resident was pretty upset. They said they’d see what they could do.

In the meantime, the resident “went upstairs and apparently called his lawyer,” says Shields.

The person staffing the polling station returned after a short while and took the station right to the resident’s room, where he voted.

“It was a bunch of running around,” says Shields. “The only thing going through my head was, every vote counts and if you put a card out saying 9 to 10:30 then you’re there 9 to 10:30...

“And everybody in the end got their vote.”

At Elections Canada, spokesperson John Enright said he can’t comment on individual

polling stations at this time, as he doesn’t know if there were any extenuating services.

However, he says, “if the hours are posted, those are the hours.”

At Cindy Derkaz’s Liberal campaign office, an oddity occurred regarding phoning.

Volunteers would be in the office and would receive calls. They would be from people

Cindy Derkaz who had just received a call from the office number and it would be a hang-up, with no one there, and they didn’t know why they’d been called.

However, no one in the office had called them, explained Derkaz.

She said Telus was unable to provide an answer.

“I think it will remain a mystery,” she says.

To be proactive, Derkaz’s campaign office send out an alert.

“It appears that our

Vernon office number 250-549-8420 has been hijacked since Oct. 14 and some unknown source is making unauthorized calls to supporters... If you did receive a call from this number since Oct 14, please accept our apologies and know that we are deeply concerned and doing all we can to find the source and stop them.”

Derkaz said the concern arose based on dirty tricks in the 2011 election, where, in one Toronto riding, for instance, donors were getting phoned at 2 a.m. just prior to the election demanding money for the Liberal candidate.

Nothing like that happened in the North Okanagan-Shuswap.

“We don’t know if it was an individual or a glitch… In some way once it stopped, we didn’t feel it was worth pursuing,” Derkaz says.

Asked about the occurrence, Election Canada’s John Enright said the only explanation he can think of offhand would be an automatic dialler that is usually generated from a third-party location.

Homeless shelter opens Sunday

By Barb Brouwer

market news staff

The Salvation Army Lighthouse Shelter opens for the cold season on Sunday, Nov. 1.

The shelter at 441 Third St. has 16 coed beds and will be open from 7 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. until March 31.

Community Care coordinator Dave Byers says everyone who arrives at the shelter before 11 p.m. will be given a hot meal and will get breakfast in the morning.

Byers says BC Housing covers costs when the weather dips below -5C or during nasty

weather but the Salvation Army makes sure the doors are open daily until the end of March.

“Basically as long as they need to be there,” says Byers how long people can stay at the shelter overnight. “If you need it, you get in.”

Byers says the shelter provides a safe place for people in need and staff is on site during open hours.

“Over the years we’ve run it, we’ve only had to ask someone to leave a couple of times,” he says, noting they have good relationship with the RCMP, who sometimes drop people at the shelter.

Rebuilding a sweat lodge

James murray/market news

n Louis Thomas, Neskonlith Chief Judy Wilson, Shawn Billy and Charlotte Allan add mud to the walls of a single sweat lodge during the restoration of the Switzmalph Cultural Village held Saturday on Neskonlith land near the Salmon River.

Tax scam circulates in region A scam where a caller claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency is becoming a growing concern for the RCMP in British Columbia.

“We are receiving numerous complaints daily and the numbers keep growing. Knowing exactly what to do should it happen to you is very important to prevent identity and financial theft,” says an RCMP press release.

Some recent telephone scams involve threatening taxpayers or using aggressive and forceful language to scare them into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Victims receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The caller requests

immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card (the CRA never requests prepaid credit cards) and to call back immediately with the information.

The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or deportation.

This scam has been successful because the caller is very aggressive, and if hung up on, will continually call back. Due to the advancement in computer technology/hacking, the calls are sometimes being routed through systems that can display any phone number the scammer chooses, which in recent cases, has been the local RCMP detachment phone number, from the

area where the call is received.

If you want to confirm that a CRA representative has contacted you, call the CRA at 1-800959-8281 for individual concerns or 1-800-959-5525 for businessrelated calls.

Individuals should be vigilant when they receive, either by telephone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent communication that claims to be from the CRA. If you suspect that you have been contacted by a scammer, note the phone number showing on call display and contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or online at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.

I N P CHATTER at Village Lanes Fun Centre

by Calyn Buresh

Where to begin! It’s been a busy week everyone! We hosted two tournaments this past weekend at Village Lanes, and man oh man, what a great turnout! We had a full house all weekend long, and couldn’t be happier about it! On Saturday evening we hosted our 3rd Annual Scotch Doubles tournament. Teams came from Vernon, Kamloops, Salmon Arm and Chase for a night of fun!

Congratulations to Kelly Collins and Bill Pacholok on their Scratch side victory, they each walked away with $150.00. On the Handicap side of things, Mike Cron and Dale Brush placed first, and took some cash home with them to Kamloops! Good bowling guys!

Sunday morning we had a 4 game, 4 player team tournament. Placing first was a team comprised of people who had never met!

Talk about good chemistry! Congratulations to Violet and Reuben Nancekivell, Ronnie Jules, and Stu Ryan on their 1st place victory!

Thank you to ALL of the bowlers who came out and participated in both events. The more the merrier, and we wouldn’t enjoy our jobs as much as we do if it weren’t for all of you!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Our next event will be a Grey Cup Tournament, to be held on Grey Cup Sunday (November 29th). Kelly will be cooking up his famous chili, foot-long hotdogs will be featured on the menu at the lanes, and the game will be on! Whether you come and bowl in the tournament or not, be sure to come and join us for the game! Owners, Gord and Linda are officially on holidays and have headed down to Palm Springs until early December, we are wishing them a great vacation! Until next time readers, cheers!

Adventures of SS Heat

By Scott Koch contributor

The following is an excerpt from the pending non-existent, nonfiction literary gem: “Chunky Monkey and the Lads.”

Friday morning, Oct. 23, it’s early, way too early, but the Chunky one is up and at ’em for what won’t be the experience of a lifetime. It’s 6:15 a.m. and he drags his mini-suitcase with his favourite pillow towards the rink for a 7 a.m. departure.

Land Skipper Marc has the Canada West Highway Monster all fired up and sleepyheaded jocks stumble from vehicles to their next place of slumber with pillows and blankets in tow.

Lars “Mother” Pittendreigh is directing traffic now, as the dozy ones gather sticks and equipment for the three game soiree in the Kootenays. Jason “Lanny” Lans, the equipment guru, attempts to remember to pack everything, knowing in the back of his mind, something will be left behind, hopefully not one of the kids. Somehow

everyone gets on board with their “stuff” and gets settled in for the pending first-of-the-day sermon from the front.

Head Coach Brad “Foxy” Fox climbs on the coach and takes his place front row right. He checks some notes written the sleepless night before, gets up and barks “Listen up….”

Each and every time during the weekend the same two words grab the attention of all 28 passengers aboard the SS Heat. Fifty-six eyes pay attention as 56 ears don’t listen as the day’s activities are laid out.

The seating order is part of team protocol, staff up front, then rookies and the vets at the back.

For the players it is a rite of passage, privilege and status to get to the back.

Off we go, for the seven hours of semiconsciousness interrupted by a quick stop at “Tim’s” in Golden. Our home for this venture is the Model A Motel in Cranbrook and meals are bacon and eggs, pasta and pizza, with burgers in the middle as a post- game break from the norm.

Friday night is potentially “Fight Night in Fernie” as we meet up with the Ghostriders, but no fisticuffs arise.

The locals take this one 4-3 as the Heat never get out of second gear.

Zach Fournier scores on the powerplay in the first from Travis Beaubien and Alex Durbeniuk, zip in the second and, in the third, Fournier again from Durbeniuk and Logan Mostat and then Kolten Moore from Fournier and Beaubien.

Saturday arrives and everyone kicks around “Cranberry Junction” for the day before hopping on the SS Heat for a Saturday Night Special in Creston with the Thundercats. The only scoring in the first is Mostat from Grady Musgrave and Michael Fidanza, in the second a pair from Creston, and in the third Spencer Farstad unassisted and then Farstad again from Cale Marchuk and Trevor Okino. Two overtimes later and a 3-3 tie is the result. Two talented teams leave it all on the ice, including 16-year-old Nolan Parr, dropping the mitts against an older oppo-

nent and winning the decision in his first bout.

Sunday afternoon on the way home we stop in Kimberley to take on the KIJHL League Champion Dynamiters in their classic retro nostalgic barn. The class of the circuit, they let us play equals with them through the first where they get one. In the second we get one, but unfortunately they get five… and game over. Except there was another period for them to add to the insult and, after two more, it’s an 8-1 victory.

The abandoned goaltenders Daniel Toews and Nic Bruyere saw lots of unwanted action over the three games as they watched their goals-against balloon.

So back on the bus and off home we travel past elk, deer, mountain sheep and crazy drivers, living for another day to potentially tell another tale of bang and crash, slash and whack, twists and turns on and off the ice.

All in all a single point but more importantly lost in it all, a huge bonding opportunity where friendships were made for life.

Sicamous and Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area E Labour Market Assessment and Planning Project

LABOUR MARKET SURVEY The project and this Survey is driven by one question:

• What can Sicamous and CSRD Area E do to be a more successful place to work and do business?

The purpose of this survey is to identify labour market needs in Sicamous and CSRD Area E.

FINAL COMMUNITY MEETINGS November 17 & November 24.

THE FIRST MEETING will be a presentation that outlines all of the information that has been collected, and helps people to understand the relevance/importance. In addition to the findings being presented, there will be some time for discussion. Specifically around, given the findings, what are some strategic actions Sicamous and Area E might take to improve their situation? In addition to the information shared and discussed during this meeting there will also be a hard-copy final report that people can have (both paper copies and also available online at www.sicamouslabour.com). This will be an evening meeting, held at the Sicamous Arena.

November 17. Doors open at 5:45 PM. Meeting starts at 6:00 PM. Meeting should run to around 8:30 PM. Refreshments/snacks provided.

THE SECOND MEETING will be a day-long planning session, hosted by our workshop and planning facilitator. The goal of this meeting will be to create a detailed action plan around what Sicamous and Area E can do to make the area a better place to live, work, and do business given the research results.

The end result will be an action plan with specific tasks, timelines, and people to involve. A map, if you will, that defines the needed steps and outlines how to begin working towards them as a community.

November 24. Doors open at 8:30 AM. Meeting starts at 9:00AM. Meeting should run to around 4:00 PM with lunch provided as well as refreshments/snacks provided.

Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.

Being heavier than air, radon accumulates in low lying areas like basements and can be drawn to higher floors within the building through natural indoor air movement.

Radon in combination with tobacco smoke, including second-hand smoke can increase the risk substantially. Health Canada estimates that one in three smokers exposed to high radon levels will develop lung cancer.

Radon gas is colourless, odourless and tasteless, so the only way to know if the radon levels in your home are high is to conduct testing.

The best time to test your home for radon gas is now through April.

During the cooler months windows and doors are often closed

Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.

Radon is a naturally occurring gas found in the ground throughout the world. Most homes that are in contact with the ground will contain some amount of radon gas.

Radon becomes more of a concern when it reaches high levels. Radon levels vary across the country. According to Health Canada about seven per cent of the Canadian homes have radon levels that may be putting residents at risk.

Here in the B.C. Interior we have some “hot spot” areas with high radon levels in approximately 40 per cent of homes.

Many houses contain recreation rooms or suites in the basement that are occupied

ence the levels within a building.

Essentially, radon takes the path of least resistance, and resistance can vary between homes.

Radon can enter a home through the foundation, including concrete and more so through cracks in a foundation or dirt floor such as older crawl spaces. It can also enter a home through the ventilation system.

The bottom line is that everyone should test their homes for radon to see if this gas (dubbed as the “silent killer”) is lurking.

If elevated radon levels are found, basic measures can be taken to address the problem.

and rising warm air in a home draws more radon from the ground.

Testing a home is easy and inexpensive.

Testing involves placing a small puck-like kit within the lowest area of the home that could be occupied for more than four hours per day.

The kit should remain in that location for a minimum of three months and then mailed to a laboratory for results.

Just because your neighbours tested their homes and found low results does not mean your home is low too.

The test results for your home can be very different. This is because factors beyond the local geology influ-

HILDEGARD MARIANNE INSELBERG Hildegard Marianne Inselberg, 95, of Sicamous, BC died October 19th 2015 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC., following a brief illness. Born on August 10, 1920 in Stuttgart, Germany. Daughter of Christian E. Kasper and Luise A.M. Schaeble (Hach), wife of Alexander J. Inselberg (d.1994), sister of Rosemarie Zoernack (Fritz), mother of Ester Ilona (Mika, Michelle) Simpson (d.2012) and Alex E. Inselberg.

Also survived by three grandchildren and five great grandchildren on her daughter’s side. Hildegard arrived in British Columbia from postwar Germany in May 1955 with her husband and two children; living in Wells, Prince George, Terrace (for the most part) and Sicamous. She was a travel agent in Prince George and Terrace, as well as the bookkeeper for her husband’s architectural business in Terrace and Prince Rupert. Hildegard remained socially engaged in Terrace until physical injury due to a bad fall in 2008 forced her to move to Sicamous to be closer to her daughter and son-inlaw Richard J. Simpson, and her son and daughterin-law Diana E. Inselberg (Hunt) in nearby Enderby.

In January 2011 Hildegard moved into Eagle Valley Manor in Sicamous for its assisted living service and the warm companionship of its employees and other residents. There will be a celebration of life in Hildegard’s honour in Sicamous in spring 2016.

No flowers please. Donations to the charity of your choice.

FERN SMITH Lovingly remembered as recited by her grandchildren 1933 - 2015 Fernande “Fern” Marie Smith, our Mother and Grandmother, passed away suddenly on October 20, 2015, at the age of 82. She was born in Frenchville, Saskatchewan on February 20, 1933 to Maurice and Menadore Gerard.

Grandma’s father, Maurice Gerard was born in Sensenruth, Bouillon, Belgium and immigrated to Canada in 1920, arriving in New Brunswick. As with many at that time, he came to Canada twice, the first time in 1920 settling in Vanguard, Saskatchewan and returning to Belgium in 1923. They came a second time in 1925 returning to Vanguard, Saskatchewan, this time staying in Canada.

Grandma’s mother, Menadore Tessier was born in Orleans, Ontario. Maurice and Menadore married in 1930 and had two children, Julien and Grandma. In 1933, the family lived on a farm, where Grandma was born and delivered by a mid wife. The following year, her mother, Menadore, passed away at the age of 27. At that time Grandma was one year old and her older brother, Julien, was two.

In 1936, Maurice married Lucienne Auger in Frenchville, Saskatchewan uniting Grandma, her brother Julien and Lucienne’s three children Hank, Alec and Ray. Together, they had three more children Ernest, Rita and Lucien.

Maurice moved his family to Cadillac, Saskatchewan where he opened a welding shop.

At age 10, Grandma went to live at a Convent with her sister, Rita, where they resided for three years.

There was a large Catholic population in Pontiex (and area) and so a Catholic School was opened which was run by the Catholic Church. It was like a boarding school and compared to the one room school house education, this would have been considered a very good education. There would have been many high quality teachers, who were nuns working there.

Even at the young age of ten, Grandma told us she and her sister Rita missed being around family, as family was always important. Grandma earned a gold medallion from the Province of Saskatchewan in the subject of reading, writing and speaking in French. She was so proud of this – she told us that she got 90% - the highest in the class at age 15. This medallion was still on her night stand when she passed away along with a picture of her sister Rita.

Around 1948, the Gerard family moved to St. Boniface, Winnipeg, Manitoba where Grandma found school to be quite different and eventually quit and went to work in the hospital kitchen.

In the early 1950s, Grandma moved to Calgary, Alberta to be closer to her brothers. It was in Calgary, where she met Grandpa – William (Bill) Dennis on a blind date and after a courting period they married in 1953.

Their first child, Sandra was born in Calgary, Alberta, and the family then moved to the Peace River Country in northern Alberta where Grandpa worked in the Oil Patch. The family grew to five children: Sandra, Bill, Richard, Monica and Rob. In 1964, the family settled on a homestead near Valleyview, Alberta. Farming life in northern Alberta was a challenge as it seemed to rain all the time. Despite this the family began doing all the things required to raise a family. Providing for the family was a lot of work and the entire family pitched in. Each year a large garden was grown, the root cellar was filled and the shelves were stocked with canned goods along with tending cattle and clearing and planting farm land.

In the fall, Grandpa would go out and hunt moose, resulting in a full freezer. This was part of the routine of sustaining life in a northern winter climate of the 50s and 60s.

In addition to the household chores of raising a family, Grandma worked in town waiting tables and cooking (often working the evening shift after being with the kids during the day). She continued in this profession until she retired.

In 1971, Grandma and Grandpa Bill went their separate ways and in 1973 Grandma met Grandpa Keith and moved to the Sicamous, BC. Grandpa Keith had a daughter Rachele who joined the family. Grandma and Grandpa Keith operated the Paradise Motel in Sicamous for a number of years. During this time, Grandma still worked outside the home waiting tables and cooking. Grandma was a hard worker and enjoyed working. She liked keeping busy. Grandma worked in the restaurant industry for about 35 years and worked in a lot of the restaurants in Sicamous and Salmon Arm. Grandpa Keith and Grandma saved enough money to build their own home in Sicamous and lived there for many years until they moved to Salmon Arm in 1991. While living in Sicamous, Grandpa Keith’s Multiple Sclerosis deteriorated and Grandma cared for him until he passed away in 2003.

In early 2000, Grandma bought a home in Evergreen Trailer Park and lived there for about 13 years.

Grandma loved having the grandkids over – there was never a time when Grandma wasn’t around one of her grandchildren as she loved them so very much.

When the grandkids were asked what they remember about growing up with Grandma – the responses were: going downtown, shopping, playing War or Uno, watching cartoons, Grandma cooking – the best pancakes, homemade macaroni and cheese, homemade cookies, the smell of her buns baking, playing legos, Christmas, playing the organ, playing video games, playing dolls, that is just to name a few of the things we did at Grandma’s. Grandma thought the world of us and she talked about us right up to the end. Every phone call she made to our parents she asked about us. Even the staff at Mt. Ida Mews knew our names because she was so proud of us and spoke of us – Don’t worry Grandma we will do you proud.

Grandma did a lot of volunteer work in the community – she was very handy at mending clothing and did so for the Salmon Arm Thrift Shop on a regular basis for many years. She also worked in the kitchen at Senior’s Branch 109 and was known for her borscht soup. She also made her borscht soup for various church functions. She was a hard worker and very efficient. She could really stretch a dollar. Grandma loved to read, crochet and knit. She made many doilies (which were beautiful), slippers, table clothes and afghans and shared them with her family. Grandma was a very social person and enjoyed working with other people.

Grandma also loved going to church although she was very timid about going once she became wheelchair dependent.

Grandma moved into Piccadilly Terrace in 2012 – where she broke her arm and then her hip in 2013 which prompted her move to Mt. Ida Mews in 2014. Grandma made friends with all of the staff, who loved her sense of humour. They have referred to her as their favorite resident and their friend. Grandma was a bit of a rebel though – she was prohibited from certain foods which she would smuggle in anyway and hide in her room. Popcorn, cookies, chocolate – she absolutely loved that sweet and salty popcorn!!!

Grandma loved to talk on the phone and called all of us on a regular basis. Her calls will be missed. We are not saying good bye to Grandma as we know our paths will cross again and when they do we share stories and laughs together again. Love you Grandma! Till we meet again!

Grandma is predeceased by her parents Maurice and Menadore Gerard, step mother, Lucienne, sister Rita, brother Hank and husband Keith Smith.

Grandma is loving remembered by her children; Sandra (Dale) Whittaker, Bill (Wanda) Dennis, Richard (Bonny) Dennis, Monica (Rick) Dalziel and Rob (Toni) Dennis.
