Houseboat crash trial gets underwayA 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 Rein-brecht had been with a group of people watch-ing post-Canada Day fireworks on the lake on July 3, 2010. The fireworks ended at 11 p.m., Flanagan said, after which Reinbrecht dropped

off three passengers on the shore.Reinbrecht, his son and his sons 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.

the houseboat, coming to rest fully inside the main galley of the house boat, Flanagan said, noting the force of the crash threw Brown in-side the speedboats bow.

Reinbrecht and his passengers were stuck inside the wreckage for nearly two hours. Browns body wasnt removed until 2:20 a.m.

Flanagan, calling the scene cha-otic, said Reinbrecht told a para-medic 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 bon re near the shore after the reworks ended.

I heard the sound of a boat going very fast, she testi ed.

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

Nelson told court she stood up af-ter hearing the boats 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 condi-tions.

I exclaimed to my friends at the re, Why is this person going so fast? Theyre going too fast. They cant 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 wa-ter.

Nelson said her brother and hus-band boarded the family boat and went to the crash site with ashlights and life jackets.

The Crown expects to call 50 wit-nesses during the trial, which is slat-ed to run into mid-March.

Salmon Arm council isnt about to dive into proposed funding op-tions for the new Shus-wap Watershed Coun-cil without adequate research and informa-tion.

Presented with a Shuswap Watershed Water Quality Ser-vice Feasibility Study commissioned by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District on how to proceed with funding a body to pro-tect the lakes water quality, council mem-bers expressed reserva-tions.

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

Coun. Kevin Flynn said he was not on city council for the past three years and won-dered if hed missed the survey or discus-sions regarding the wa-tershed council during that time.

Harrison replied: Ive been here for the past three years As far as I know we

didnt discuss it here at council. If thats the spot were in, Coun. Laverys suggestion is a good one. We need to get feedback from Salmon Arm on what its role is its the fi-nancial piece.

Lavery had suggest-ed the report go to the citys 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 re-gion, Lavery said, not-ing the next step would be choosing from op-tions suggested.

Flynn agreed on the importance of wa-ter quality and said funding is his concern.

Just how are we go-ing to pay for that.

Coun. Chad Elia-son 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, ev-eryone needs to be on board. The real ques-tion is, how much do we pay?

Harrison asked about the makeup of the council. Cooper said its made up of representatives from the Thompson Nicola Regional District, the CSRD, the Region-al District of North

Okanagan and munici-palities.

The watershed coun-cil has been set up to replace the former Shuswap Lake Inte-grated Planning Pro-cess (SLIPP), which was dissolved.

Harrison said his ini-tial feedback would be that the council should focus only on water quality, not other is-sues 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 administra-tor Carl Bannister said there would be an un-

budgeted cost to that. Coun. Louise Wallace Richmond suggested Skype might be an op-tion.

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

Along with sending the report to the en-vironmental advisory committee, council will encourage feed-back from other groups and citizens.

Eliason pointed out that, ultimately, it will come down to the may-or and council becom-ing informed enough to make a good deci-sion for the city.

VIEW POINTWow, 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 Con-servatives 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 Im sure the Ob-server/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 com-pare the results of our present gov-ernments 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 em-ployment in Canada, our interest rates were kept low, our justice sys-

tem was improved and our standard of living in Canada since the Con-servatives came to power.

Ask yourself, have the Conserva-tives helped or hindered in making Canada a better place to live, it is my opinion they have helped consider-ably.

Personally, I am thankful we got rid of the Liberals and their tax and spend policies when we did, how-ever 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 no-experience, 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 Mar-ket News; now lets see if the three Salmon Arm papers under the ban-ner of Black Press will print letters from the other side of the discussion as well... well soon see?

B. Campbell, Sorrento

Thankful for Harpers policies

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 dic-tated that I not risk going through.

Oh well, theres always next year.

On a more positive note though, it wont be long be-fore the ice is off the lakes and it will be the start of a new fishing season.

People will also be head-ing 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 conse-quence, there is also an ever-increasing need for common sense, as well as a certain amount of control over such activities in order to ensure the safety of everyone par-ticipating. In Canada, there are, on average, some 6,000 boating accidents involving more than 150 fatalities and many more injuries.

In 1999 the federal gov-ernment introduced the Plea-sure 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 regu-late the use of personal wa-tercraft. Federal government regulations now require all operators of watercraft un-der four metres in length, in-cluding 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 ac-credited 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 ac-credited course. A mark of 75 per cent is needed to pass the 36-question exam. To pass the exam, all that is re-ally required is reading the material and some common sense.

It would seem to me that it would be in persons best in-terest to know the rules and regulations in order to en-sure their own safety never mind the safety of family members and others.

Under the federal govern-ment 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. Opera-tors 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 dont think its really too much to ask that people op-erating watercraft out on a lake would not only have the knowledge of how to prop-

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

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, kayak-ers, 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 Opera-tor Card, common sense and a little courtesy will also go a long way to ensure the safety of everyone on the water.

Wouldnt it be nice if this coming seasons boating ac-cident statistics were signifi-cantly reduced.

OPINION

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

Common courtesy goes a long way

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, its Ontarios turn.

Though its 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 respi-ratory 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 childrens 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 com-munities up for outbreaks of other dangerous dis-eases like diphtheria and whooping cough.

The typical course for common measles, espe-cially 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 vac-cination? While we dont advocate mandatory vac-cination, we do advocate relying on the advice of doctors and other reliable sources rather than mis-placed faith in the veracity of the Internet.

Remember, you dont have to be an expert in anything to set up a website.

Vaccines critical to healthy populations


South ShuSwapTwins arrive in pickup truck

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

By then, her new-born twins, Hunter Dodge and Nevada Si-erra, will be old enough to get behind the wheel and how many teens can say theyre driv-ing 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 shed 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 contrac-tions to full labour and having a baby within half-an-hour and its an hour drive from Sor-rento 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 wed get there, Guil-bault said.

I wouldnt let my husband pull over be-cause I knew we need-ed 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 feet-first, with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.

We were lucky it was the middle of the night and we had amaz-ing road conditions and it wasnt too cold out or anything, she said.

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

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

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

Though it wasnt ex-actly a typical delivery, Guilbault said the truck births were, in a way, a

positive experience.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 hospi-tal, 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.

Its the vehicle Guil-bault 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 epi-sodes featuring the pair begin airing on History Canada on Feb. 25.

Because of some unresolved behaviour Barney is less suitable as a house pet but he is a good candidate for a barn cat under the BCSPCA policy. He is friendly, hes vaccinated, hes neutered. Under the BCSPCA barn cat policy he must have access to appropriate food, water, veterinary care, and attention. He must not be expected to fend for himself in the barn and regular worming is especially important.

Barney is a really neat guy, hes fun, energetic and loves attention. If you have a place that would be a great home for him we would love to talk to you.

Officials know septic systems are adding to water woes in Sorrento and Blind Bay, but a so-lution 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 Com-munity 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 Liq-uid Waste Management Plan (LWMP) identi-fied the cumulative im-pact of septic systems on the environment was a problem in the mak-ing, noted Mooney in his report to council.

Continuous monitor-ing of the groundwater in the area has identi-fied that on-site septic systems have a negative impact on the environ-ment and the foreshore, he added.

An update to the liq-uid 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, Reed-man 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 treat-ment were developed as a single phase, said Mooney.

Moving sewage from foreshore septic systems to the facil-ity would cost over $14 million for phase one of a multi-phased ap-proach.

The plan also indi-

cated we would only be able to move forward (on the project) with large grants of at least two-thirds of the fund-ing, said Mooney at the January board meeting. Weve been waiting for a grant but that just hasnt come.

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

While the original plan was to spray treated effluent onto agricul-tural 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-

stream domestic water wells, Mooney said, noting that another site thought to be ideal will require additional in-vestigation 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.

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 liq-uid waste management plan amendment, which would include public input in the process.

Area C South Shus-wap director Paul De-menok offered his full support for the amend-ment.

Sewers are a very high-priority project from an environmental perspective as 13 of 17 (CSRD) groundwater monitoring sites exceed (acceptable) e-Coli lev-els, he said. We have thousands of septic systems, some of them up to 50 years old, and were seeing it affect water quality in Blind Bay.

Demenok pointed out there are economic impacts in Sorrento as well.

Theyre handcuffed with the OCP (offi-cial community plan) stipulating you must have two acres of land if youre going to have on-site sewer systems, he said. This is a very important area I sup-port 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.

Weve got to be ready for it and I am asking for board sup-port, he said.

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

Were 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 some-thing more affordable.

Chamber makes good headwayThe South Shuswap

Chamber of Commerce is marking Chamber week, Feb. 16 to 20, with a sense of satis-faction and a drive to include more members.

Based on our suc-cess, we went from zero to 100 in 12 months, says enthusi-astic general manager Karen Brown of the previously dormant or-ganization. Our list of accomplishments was extremely ambitious and successful.

Brown says a few of the members want to nominate the organiza-tion for Chamber of the Year.

I think its based on our unique nature; were the only cham-ber in the province that doesnt 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 busi-nesses, we step into B&Bs.

Brown says the face-to-face approach in-stills loyalty by show-ing a vested interest in a business no matter what size.

Its a business mod-el thats working, she says.

Chamber president Brad Davies agrees. He says learning firsthand about the different busi-nesses provides cham-ber with confidence.

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

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

Weve got a very ac-tive board, he says.

He says he volun-teers because the cham-ber is the only agency that promotes growth in business and co-or-dination between busi-nesses. But, he says the need for social gather-ings has emerged as a major requirement, particularly for new business owners who were having a hard time integrating with the business commu-nity.

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 some-thing down home.

Brown says the chamber has also tapped into the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional Districts Economic Development and Shuswap Tourism man-ager 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 read-iness workshop was also successful and will take place again this year.

Also back on the cal-endar a highly suc-cessful, two-day South Shuswap Outdoor Liv-ing 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 Shus-wap.

Like Davies, Brown is excited about the future of the chamber. Were 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. Im on doctors 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 persua-sions to have some cake, Come on, its a special occasion, A little wont hurt, Just scrape off the icing!

Ironically, I am a registered dietitian and community nutritionist and Ive been promoting healthier food environ-ments for over 15 years. I didnt 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 rea-sons for avoiding caffeine and sugar.

I looked around the room and won-dered 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 com-mon, and everyone at the celebration worked in health care, I suspected a good majority of them would have.

When even health professionals arent serving healthy choices, we shouldnt be surprised that people struggle to main-tain a healthy lifestyle. I think we are all responsible to walk our talk at work by making sure healthy choices are available whether its a catered event, a potluck celebration, or just a kind ges-ture of bringing goodies to work for co-workers to enjoy. To me, its the same as having a smoke-free environment.

Healthy options dont 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 beverag-es, offer decaf coffee, hot water and tea bags, and a jug of iced water alongside

the regular coffee.Providing healthy options doesnt

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 youd like to offer up a creative and healthy alternative to cake at your next celebration why not try making a watermelon cake deco-rated with whipping cream? I recently found this idea online and gave it a try. Its a little messy, but its a great tast-ing and healthier alternative to sugar-loaded cake. Nutrition die-hards could serve the whipped cream on the side. And dont forget the fifth food group most registered dietitians will tell you that tiny chocolates are a particularly great choice for mental health!

Illnesses seem to peak during the winter months. A tapped-out immune system as well as dry, cold air may en-courage the spread of common viruses and bacterial infections more easily. As a result, its important that men, women and children take every step possible to ward off sickness when the tempera-tures drop. Dietary changes can make a world of difference, and more and more people are including these proven su-perfoods 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 coun-teract some of the symptoms of winter-related depression.

Pomegranate: This quirky fruit has vi-tamins C and K, folate and potassium and is a good source of fiber. Pome-granate has anti-inflammatory proper-ties, which can help in reducing joint pain and preventing strokes. Pomegran-ate may also help the body fight viruses.

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.

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

Cabbage: Cabbage may be a key ele-ment in the fight against cancer. Cab-bage has phytochemicals that can pro-tect the body against cancer-causing free radicals. Its also a good source of dietary fiber, which can stimulate a slug-gish digestive system.

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

Chestnuts: Chestnuts are worthy of in-clusion in anyones diet. Unlike many nuts, chestnuts are relatively low in fat but have high levels of protein. Theyre also packed with vitamin C and B vi-tamins.

Do you need a Handyman?

Testing the hardwaren 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.

The Minister of Fi-nance Joe Oliver, an-nounced 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 ap-proximately 10 per cent. These commitments represent a meaningful long-term reduction in costs for merchants that should ultimately result in lower prices for con-sumers.

Canadians have told

us that they wanted bet-ter information on cred-it card charges, interest on unpaid balances and any other related costs to the credit card they hold. Credit card com-panies need to charge fees to recover costs, but consumer advocates have voiced concerns that the charges were excessive and not al-ways clearly defined.

As we all know, con-sumers using credit cards must do so in a responsible manner so that credit card compa-nies do not need to in-crease 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 busi-nesses to help export their services and prod-ucts. This initiative has been a great success.

A senior administrator for Economic Devel-opment Canada stated that never in the past has small and medium sized businesses been included in Canadas 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 cut-ting measures.

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

Romantic lms to watch together this Valentines DayCouples celebrate

Valentines 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.

Valentines Day also can be a romantic endeavor if a couple chooses to spend time at one with each other watching a romantic movie. The follow-ing are a handful of love-inspired movies that can add a special something to Valen-tines Day festivities.

The Notebook: Au-thor Nicholas Sparks

has a way of taking the everyday experi-ences in a persons life and making them relatable and heart-breaking in a pluck-at-your-heartstrings sort of way. His novel The Notebook won the hearts of many and seemed a natural to be adapted to lm. Starring Ryan Gos-ling and Rachel Mc-Adams, the movie il-lustrates how love can last through the years and even survive an Alzheimers diagnosis.

The Proposal: In order to remain in the country, a demanding New York-based book editor (Sandra Bull-ock) 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 Re-member: Romantic melodramatic mas-ter 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 Build-ing in six months if they have ended their relationships and are ready to commit to each other. Grant makes it to the ren-dezvous spot, but an injured Kerr never

shows as Grant as-sumes 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 il-lustrate their love.

The Wedding Sing-er: This quirky movie about a wedding sing-er who falls for a ban-quet waitress high-lights the importance of loving each other for what makes you unique.

Once: Attraction between the main characters comes by way of creative mu-sical collaboration. Music proves to be an aphrodisiac, mak-ing the lm and the

song Falling Slowly from its score so popular. This romantic tale helped take the lm from the big screen to the Broadway stage.

West Side Story: West Side Story is yet another hom-age to Romeo and Juliet. But the lm made Shakespeares tragic love story relat-able to audiences of the 1960s.

My Best Friends Wedding: Julianne (Julia Roberts) is called on to be the best man for her friends (Dermot Mulroney) wedding. Only when the wed-ding planning is un-derway does Julianne realize she is in love with her friend and needs to get him to fall for her instead.

Nev-er Been K i s s e d : A report- e r goes under- cover at a high school to dis-cover something con-troversial 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 twen-ties and a much older woman begin a ro-mantic relationship and challenge social norms along the way.

Annie Hall: Win-ner of four Academy Awards, Annie Hall follows a comedian who is trying to main-tain his relationship with a woman.

Bridget Jones Di-ary: A modern adap-tation of Pride and

P re j u -dice, the movie

tells the tale of a self-conscious woman who nds love in a man that seems to be her polar opposite.

Ten Things I Hate About You: Filmmak-ers 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.

The Okanagan-Kootenay Sterile Insect Release (OKSIR) Program has been nominated for an In-tegrated Pest Management (IPM) Achievement Award, to be awarded this spring at the 8th Inter-national 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 Si-milkameen areas for more than 20 years.

The program has been garnering a lot of inter-national interest from areas and companies look-ing 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 Val-ley, under the direction of general manager Cara Nelson.

Its an honour to be formally recognized by the international integrated pest management com-munity, 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.

On the way to a winn Salmon Arm skier Mitch Smith placed second in the slalom race in Kimberley on Feb 9. De-spite torrential rain and fog, the race went on, although the super G and downhill were cancelled due to a soft course making it too dangerous. Smith placed second in the U18 clases, and fourth overall in the open mens class. Competitors came from B.C., Alberta, USA and Japan.
