Directors put hold on Stomp By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Summer Stomp fans will have to wait another month to see if a 2012 version will run in Silver Creek on the third weekend of July. Event organizers had asked Columbia Shuswap Regional District board members to consider a request to temporarily dispense with bylaw enforcement on two Salmon River Road properties. But directors deferred a decision until they get answers in the form of a detailed operating plan – something stomp organizers says they will work on with haste. At issue is the fact that neither of the proposed properties is zoned commercial. And, while the CSRD board last year decided not to enforce the bylaw because of the economic opportunity they saw in the event, the Agricultural Land Commission refused to allow non-farm use on the land located within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). This year, organizers have made arrangement René Talbot for two properties loCSRD cated about two kilomeDIRECTOR tres south of the Silver Creek Community Park and note the portion of the land they wish to use is not inside the ALR. But board concerns extend beyond zoning. “I’ve had phone calls and emails from residents not thrilled about it being close to their homes,” said Area D Falkland-Silver Creek-Ranchero Director René Talbot. “Noise is an issue, fire is a huge issue. They always want a fire. I don’t know of any other event that has fires.” Talbot also took issue with what organizers have planned in terms of security and possible damage to the Salmon River. “I see nothing here about them talking to RCMP and it’s the same weekend as Sturgis – we will have lots of people running down Salmon River Road,” See Stomp on page A2

‘Green man’ faces riot charges By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

A Salmon Arm man accused of being involved in last year’s Stanley Cup riot is now formally facing charges. Andrew Comber, who is charged with participating in a riot, mischief and arson, was arrested Saturday in his Salmon Arm home, said Sgt. Howard Chow, media relations office for the Integrated Riot Investigation Team. Comber, 38, allegedly lit a stuffed bear on fire and threw it onto an overturned truck during the riots, which took

Fans angry at losing to the Boston Bruins went on a rampage in downtown Vancouver, causing millions of dollars in damage. Police say Comber had painted himself green and was very active on the night of the riot. He was spotted taunting police in many locations, an RCMP release says. Comber is also wanted on See Comber on page A2

Stomp rushes to meet deadline Continued from front he said, noting the event would no longer be in the Salmon Arm policing area. “On previous occasions, they complained about policing but that’s a fact of life; if you’re gonna have an event this big, you’re gonna have policing – and don’t complain about it.” Electoral Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin had a different viewpoint. “I don’t live there, but I have always heard good things – the site is maintained well, washrooms are clean, they do maintain order…” she said. “It’s an economic development opportunity. People come

and spend a lot of money, so for that reason I would support it.” Mike Smith, president of the Summer Stomp committee and member since its inception in 1998, was given the opportunity to address some of directors’ concerns. “We have many things in place – a water truck onsite and a big open field – we’re not fools and it’s not our intention to burn the mountain down,” he said. “When we had it in the park it was way closer to the trees.” Smith told directors the committee had not yet approached the RCMP or begun detailed plans because they wanted to know the regional district

Comber wanted in Alberta Continued from front charges dating back to 2004 in Alberta, where he is accused of causing a disruption after a Calgary Flames hockey game. The Southern Alberta Integrated Fugitive Apprehension Unit – similar to the Con Air program in B.C. – will fly Comber back to Alberta to face charges of assaulting and obstructing a peace officer, resisting arrest, mischief, failure to appear, possession of a controlled substance and alcohol offences. “With the help and

support of partner police agencies, rioters won’t be able to escape justice by hiding in their communities,” Inspector Les Yeo, who is leading the Vancouver Police Department’s riot investigation, wrote in a statement released early Sunday. In 2005, Comber, who had previously been in prison, was featured in the Observer for successfully completing his high school graduation requirements and earning his Dogwood diploma as part of the Storefront School program. Chow says Comber’s

distinctive body painting assisted them in the investigation. Thousands of images were taken by photographers during the riot and many have been posted on a special Vancouver Police website, which is urging people to provide police with tips on the identity of perpetrators. Chow says 84 per cent of all the rioters with charges recommended are from outside Vancouver, so they are eager for more people to view the photos and provide information. The website is www.riot2011.vpd.ca.

Waiting another month makes it tough, but doable.” Meanwhile, Gerald Christie, CSRD manager of development services, says staff will work with the organizers but cautions the committee has only two weeks in which to complete their work and get it to the CSRD in time to get on the agenda. “At that point, the resolution should only be adopted – if the organizers together with the landowners are willing to enter into a use agreement for the affected lands with the CSRD for the period of the special event only,” said Christie Monday.

A vision for the future Downtown Community College: Group hopes to expand courses to make agriculture flagship program. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

An agricultural college on the former JL Jackson school site could be just the economic boost that Salmon Arm needs. At the annual general meeting of Downtown Salmon Arm on April 17, members of the Downtown Community College Committee announced this hope with figures to support their vision. Chair Bill Laird said the committee has set its sights on the former JL Jackson site but emphasized that the land has not been purchased. “The dream is four or five acres on the southwest corner,” he said. Lana Fitt, manager of Salmon Arm Economic Development, said the Vannstruth Consulting Group prepared an economic impact analysis of a downtown campus. Findings show that in the first year, based on an estimate of a 40 per cent growth in students reflecting factors such as diversified programming, increased housing and development of agriculture as a flagship program, impacts would mean 42 new jobs and annual expenditures of $3.4 million. That doesn’t include figures for construction of the campus or tourism from out-of-towners visiting students.

Laird noted that the whole JL Jackson site is about 12 acres, including the Downtown Activity Centre, and the committee would not want to disturb the centre as it provides valuable services. The current college campus is about five acres, but doesn’t have the ability to grow up or out. The preliminary vision for the new campus would

emphasis on food security and sustainability, Hardy pointed out that the average age of a farmer is 57 years old. “So education for agriculture is key, of the absolute and utmost importance if we’re going to be able to continue to eat,” she said. “We are going to be proposing that Okanagan College has agriculture as its flagship program.”

Margaret Hardy, the DCC co-ordinator, noted the committee’s vision comes from more than 600 surveys from individuals in the community, as well as input from groups. Of those surveys, three areas of post-secondary education were singled out for expanded programming: applied arts and culture, health-care programming and agriculture. Noting the growing

Helping to achieve that vision, she said, is an interest from the University of the Fraser Valley in partnering with Okanagan College to provide agricultural courses here. Another aspect of the vision would be a performing arts theatre, Laird said. “It is our opinion, a wise place to put the theatre would be on this site. The college could use it part of the time. In this day and age, we don’t think it’s wise to build a single-use building anymore. We are very enthusiastic about a new performing arts

theatre in the community, but again feel these uses can complement each other.” Laird also pointed to the possibility of a pedestrian underpass near Wing’s Restaurant that would connect the campus to downtown. Said Hardy: “We believe the downtown community campus will provide the hub to hold the community together.” Hardy suggested that residents sign a supporting community partner agreement to show their interest in having a downtown campus. Laird said the committee will keep working on the vision so it has a business plan when funding is forthcoming. “When the Liberals want to get elected next May, they will come roaring in with money,” he smiled.

Crime up in rural areas

Shuswap Rowing & Paddling (SARP) is having

RCMP: Majority of incidents related to alcohol, drugs. By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

The first quarter has passed for the Salmon Arm RCMP and police are noticing that while the numbers might be down, the problem of violence is not letting up. Prior to providing his quarterly report to city council, Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane said he spoke with his sergeant, Carl Tettolowski, and discussed what trends they’re seeing in the city. And, what they’re seeing is an increase in violence that doesn’t end up leading to convictions. Statistically, violent crime is down in the municipality, with 39 incidents this year, as opposed to 43 in the first quarter of 2011. Rural incidents are up from 10 to 17. Cases of assault are also down in the city from 31 to 26, though assault cases in the “other” category were up from 1 to 7 in the city, and 0 to 3 rural. Keane noted not all issues of violence attended by officers can be categorized under the criminal code. “It manifests itself in crime, like assaults and assault with a weapon and all those crime codes that we have, but… most of the time they don’t even meet that threshold,” said Keane. “They’ll be disturbance calls or they’ll be neighbourhood com-

plaints or these kinds of issues. And what happens is they’ll get escalated either by the police or by a bystander before we get there.” Keane added officers are also seeing an increase in violence related to intoxication and/ or emotional issues. “People are self-medicating out there, every-

thing from folks that need to be hospitalized to people under extreme angst… and it’s coming out in violent or socially unacceptable ways,” he said. Another area of increased activity is property crime, particularly in the southeast quadrant of the city. Keane said, however, that this is mostly to do with incidents of shoplifting and theft from vehicles. “It’s interesting that they’re spiking at the same time all of our clients are coming out of jail that we put in last year,” Keane added. “Sometimes my job is easy. However,

we have those people tracked and targeted; it’s handy when they’re under some form of court conditions… so that when we do find them walking down the alley at two o’clock in the morning, we have a means to arrest them other than just waving a finger at them.” Regarding drugs, Keane credited his plain-clothes officers for doing a great job on getting a handle on the local drug trade. He says officers are targeting issues of heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, which are big in the community. He noted a person recently taken down over a dial-a-dope operation appeared in court that day, with a condition that he is not to carry a cell phone. “He showed up in court with a cell phone, so he was arrested there, and when the policeman answered the phone, they wanted 20 rocks of crack…,” said Keane. “It shows you how it never ends for us.” Keane added the drug issues are tied up with the others issues of crime and people struggling in the community. Staffing remains at a 42 per cent vacancy rate due to medical and paternity issues. Shortages are being covered with staff moved out of plain-clothes investigation and traffic. The detachment now

has seven auxiliary constables, though Keane explains they are complementary, not supplementary, and they are not sent out “in a police car investigating calls.” Expecting it to be hot this summer, Keane said a big worry at the detachment is forest fires, and that contingency plans are being made, particularly scheduling, so that officers will be available at key times if they’re needed. Another summer issue, this one raised by council, is enforcement on the lake. Coun. Alan Harrison noted there was a lot of enforcement on the lake last year, and Keane said council, and the public, could expect similar levels this year. Over the first quarter, the detachment completed 1,527 calls for service, made 609 traffic stops, arrested and housed 180 prisoners and have 177 ongoing investigations.

Street level recycling applauded By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Dinoﬂex ClimateSmart Just in time for Earth Day, Dinoflex Recycled Rubber Services has achieved the ClimateSmart seal. In order to complete the program, the company, which is based in the industrial park, was required to complete a greenhouse gas emissions inventory and submit a list of reduction strategies. “As Dinoflex was established in 1989 on the basis of environmental stewardship, participating in the program just made sense,” says CEO Terry MacLeod. For more information, visit www.dinoflex.com.

One new face will be joining the board of directors of Downtown Salmon Arm this year. Newly appointed is David Barritt of Salmon Arm Florist on Alexander Street. He joins returning directors Michael Wagner, Bill Laird, Tim Giandomenico, Jeff Johnson and Cookie Langenfeld, as well as a number of direc-

tors in the second year of their two-year terms. They are Ron Langridge, George Green, Rob Marshall, Rob Sengotta, Gale Paule Davison, Dorothy Argent and Bryan Kassa. Community representatives appointed to the board were Debbie Cannon with the City of Salmon Arm and Carol McCreight with the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce. Outgoing representatives who were thanked for their contributions were commu-

nity rep Patty Munro and seniors’ rep Katannya Woodruff. The contributions of outgoing director Maggy Davidson were also recognized. President Cookie Langenfeld listed plans for this year, one which garnered a round of applause – the launch of a street-level recycling pilot project. Other plans include a designated YouTube channel for Downtown Salmon Arm, a

‘Taste of Downtown Restaurant Guide’ and a ‘Downtown Salmon Arm Travel Guide.’ Langenfeld noted that with new commercial developments arriving in the coming year, “how we respond is up to us individually and collectively.” She emphasized that there will be significant opportunity to advance the community with the development of the Downtown Community Campus initiative.

SASCU race déjà vu While it might look like something of a rematch, it’s a different election altogether. Former mayor Marty Bootsma and current mayor Nancy Cooper are candidates in the 2012 election for the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union board of directors. Cooper is seeking re-election and Bootsma is a newcomer. Also running for the three spots on the nine-member board are incumbent Frank Popien, as well as John Schlosar and Robin Wiens. Longtime director Alice Duck won’t be returning. The results will be announced at the credit union’s annual general meeting, set for Thursday, May 3 at 7 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Members are invited to meet their board, review highlights of 2011 and enjoy coffee, tea and treats.

Telus invests in wireless Telus will invest $500,000 in Salmon Arm in 2012 to further expand and enhance its wireless and wireline networks. “Telus’ $500,000 investment will enhance our world-class wireless network and improve Internet speeds for businesses and households right here in Salmon Arm,” said Bert Braybrook, Telus general manager of customer solutions delivery for the community. It’s part of $3 billion in infrastructure upgrades being made across B.C. through 2014.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

We can all volunteer It was National Volunteer Week in Canada last week, but pardon me for being a little belated. It is extremely difficult to recognize all the volunteer work that goes on in this community, but we, as well as Mayor Nancy Cooper, made some attempts to do so in the pages of last week’s publication. Organized volunteers are critical to the survival of many of the best things in our community. They organize bake sales and build trails. They comfort the grieving, knit caps for newborns, drive patients to medical visits. They coach kids in the nuances of sport, run music festivals and pick up litter on the side of highways. They deserve respect and admiration, every one. There are literally hundreds of organizations that would love to have the services of people willing to devote their time on a regular or semi-regular basis. But a few things this week made me think about another type of volunteer in our community – the spontaneous volunteer. This came to my attention on a number of occasions recently when people voluntarily jumped in to help me out of a difficult situation. With three children under six, a full-time job and a husband who was working out of town at the time, it was more than a little difficult hear the dreaded words, “I’m sick” uttered by little mouths. As some of you may remember from my column last week, this stress was compounded by the knowledge that the kids and I were possibly exposed to the hepatitis A virus after eating Pomeberry Blend frozen fruit. And so, there I was with three kids in tow waiting on Saturday morning for the medical clinic to open. There was already a lineup and as we waited outside the whining of a fussy, sick child soon turned to full blown tears. So thank you to the kind 93-year-old man in a wheelchair who volunteered to let us go ahead of him in the lineup. “Don’t worry, honey,” he said, when he saw the gratitude in my eyes. “I’m not so old I can’t remember what it’s like to have sick kids.” This happened again when I took my frightened six-year-old to the lab for blood tests. We walked in to take number 49. The lab was currently serving number 17. A lab staffer came out warning people to expect a two- and-a half-hour wait. As my child began to whimper about being scared of the needle, my thoughts were in a whirl from her distress to my newspaper deadline that day, and the need to be in the office sooner, rather than later — all the while knowing that this blood test would let us know if it was hepatitis A that was causing her symptoms. Suddenly a woman stood up and volunteered to give us her number 37, thereby shaving more than an hour off our wait. Once again, thank you for your unselfish act. It meant a whole lot to this stressed-out mom. You see, being a volunteer doesn’t have to be about joining an organized group. We can all volunteer to do a kind thing, and it can make a world of difference.

Editorial

Ceremony highlights worker safety On April 28, the province will have the chance to come together and remember among others, the 142 workers in B.C. who lost their lives as a result of workplace injury or illness in 2011. Sadly, the 2012 statistics will now increase following an explosion at a Prince George sawmill which killed one worker Tuesday morning and injured 20 others. The forestry, construction and transportation industries lead the numbers when it comes to fatal claims to WorkSafeBC, but even the hotel, retail and business services industries see fatal incidents in their offices. This year, Salmon Arm is doing more to recognize the contributions of workers and the potential hazards they face in the workplace by relocating a plaque from an obscure place in a

hallway of the Community Centre into a garden at Marine Park, to where it will be more highly visible. An official dedication of the plaque in its new home behind the Brighouse Nature Centre will take place at 11 a.m. on Canada’s National Day of Mourning Saturday, April 28 and will include a moment of silence and short speeches by Mayor Nancy Cooper and RCMP Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane. While we can take a moment to remember and show respect for those who have lost their lives to workplace accidents, this is also a reminder that there is more to do at workplaces to ensure the safety of those employed there. Training, maintaining strict safety standards and incident prevention need to be a continual priority.

The Observer asked:

What does Earth Day mean to you?

Avery Cannon-Milne “It means turning off lights and doing things to help the Earth.”

James Metcalfe “Walking or using my bike so we don’t pollute the air.”

Mhari Runciman “It’s a day to do things like plant trees and think more about the environment.”

Norah Mallett “It’s like when you pick up garbage and turn the lights off to save electricity.”

Luke Wocknitz “It’s a day to think about protecting the environment in ways our ancestors did.”

RFP process Columnist neglects important facts discourages On behalf of my firm, Mediability, I write to explain why, as the only local firm asked to bid on the city’s website, we did not submit a proposal as reported in last week’s Observer. We were delighted to be invited and appreciate council’s current effort to review the process. It appears, however, that council still believes that our firm “did not wish to put in the hours of work required to submit a proposal because of the costs.” To be clear, we were more than willing and prepared. It’s how we’ve done business since 1999. We did not submit because the RFP called for speculative design—free work that is done in exchange for consideration of a contract. As a design firm, we adhere to professional standards that prohibit this. We wrote the city stating as much. We received no reply. When you apply for work, your resumé helps an employer decide if you are best suited for a job. Speculative design is the equivalent of an employer asking candidates to work for free before one is hired. If the city were buying roadwork, it would not require that each proponent pave 100 metres as a sample prior to awarding the job. The reward of any contract mustn’t come at the expense of the free work of others. We will happily tell you all about our pricing, experience, capabilities and philosophy. We will not provide original design to win you over. It’s critical to understand that public RFP processes should never request nor reward free services or products. Salmon Arm is full of willing, talented, creative and innovative people whose commitment to Salmon Arm will not impact in any way, shape or form our new website – except for the tax dollars we raised to pay for it. Clearly, an opportunity for improvement exists. I’m not here to cry over spilled milk. I merely ask that we are more careful in how we pour it next time. Louise Wallace

Columnist Tom Fletcher mocks David Suzuki for leaving his Foundation to reduce the risk of it losing charitable tax status at the hands of the federal government. He speaks scornfully of this very human individual as a supposed “saint,” prone to making “left-wing political rant[s],” guilty of “tabloid journalism” and sensationalism. He bases his aggressive posture on a book he’s been reading, written by Patrick Moore, an original Greenpeace member. Moore angrily left the organization decades ago, went into private business, and became an official spokesperson for corporate forestry in B.C. He has been attacking his former associates – and their associates – ever since.

Fact: I have met Patrick Moore as well as heard him speak in person, and followed his public comments for years. He’s a verbal street-fighter who’d far rather win an argument than engage in dialogue. He’s not always precise about his facts: excellent qualities for a Greenpeace founder – and for an industry proponent. Fact: I’ve met David Suzuki on a number of occasions. He’s a feisty and engaged scientist, impatient with people who know or care little about environmental science. In the Nature of Things, I know (from personal experience) that he will not state anything that hasn’t been fact-checked extensively first. Fact: I’ve met and worked with U of Al-

berta scientist David Schindler, known internationally for his work on acid rain. He has participated in most of the independent studies on the effects of the “tar sands.” He is a determined and highly respected researcher, whose findings (which I have read) contrast radically with bland reassurances from the federal and Alberta governments and the oil companies. Fact: Patrick Moore has written a selfcongratulatory book, which Tom Fletcher has uncritically endorsed. Fact: David Suzuki and David Schindler have both been awarded the Order of Canada. Warren Bell

BCTF should not dictate volunteer time I just read the results of the latest BCTF vote to continue the good fight. I had some sympathy for the union’s stance up to this point. Out of 41,000 members, 21,625 voted in favour of discontinuing extracurricular activities while 7,846 were against. What happened to the rest of the members and how can teachers who do not participate in extracurricular activities vote on this matter? Only members who actively coach and contribute their time outside of the classroom should be allowed to vote. This organization has taken upon itself to dictate how teachers should or shouldn’t spend time with outside activities they enjoy

as much as they enjoy teaching. The idea that stopping extracurricular activities will make the public more aware of the plight of the teacher’s contract situation just flies in the face of everything that they have made us try to believe about it all being for the kids. Those teachers who do coach, or have outside clubs, connect with kids in a different way and very often encourage better classroom performance by enhancing the school experience. Tell me how this encourages the kid who might be in line for an athletic scholarship or the opportunity to attend a summer drama program, or who was counting on a scout watching them perform

at a track meet or the golf provincials? Many children can’t afford community activities so their only outlet is a school basedprogram. How have we enhanced their view of teachers and unions? I hope that we can let the 10-20 per cent of the teachers who have willingly given their time realize how much we appreciate their dedication to students. How can a union membership tell volunteers that they can’t do activities on their own time? This dispute should not use student activities and volunteers as part of their strategy. Penny Hecker

Using local contractors has broader implications This is in agreement with the newspaper article in the Observer a few weeks ago about dealing locally. A couple of weeks ago while I was picking up the mail at the Canoe post office, I saw a truck displaying they were from Vernon, and they were doing some kind of road work in Canoe. I have since looked up the commercial property tax multiplier for Vernon (2.62)

and Salmon Arm (2.79). As you can see, a commercial enterprise in Salmon Arm is being penalized for being here. When the City of Salmon Arm hires equipment from Vernon who can charge lower rates (see commercial property tax rates above) than Salmon Arm contractors, it makes me and everyone I talk to upset. I would rather the work go to local people as they pay local taxes.

I am not even addressing the issue of 50 minutes and 50 kilometres approximately that it would take per piece of equipment and per employee (it should take at least two for WCB rules), which would cost the taxpayers of Salmon Arm even more than when using local contractors. Mike Testart

A diverse meeting of the minds By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

From all accounts received, it was a highly successful event in a variety of ways. Aptly named Moving Forward Together, a two-day workshop to develop a process for regional planning in the Shuswap was hosted on April 19 and 20 at the Adams Lake Indian Band Youth Centre. The first day focused on building respectful and effective aboriginal/ non-aboriginal relationships and the second, on two topics: 1) regional social development planning – actions for social traction and 2) building a framework for regional economic development planning. In possibly the first of its kind, the workshop attracted a diverse crowd of more than 100 people in total, representing: four area First Nations bands – Adams Lake, Neskonlith, Splatsin and Little Shuswap; community organizations and agencies from Sicamous, Enderby, Chase and Salmon Arm including Interior Health; SPARC BC – the Social

Planning and Research Council of BC; Salmon Arm Economic Development; Chase Chamber of Commerce; the Shuswap Community Resources Cooperative that includes groups such as the Canadian Mental Health Association, Eagle Valley Community Support Society and the Shuswap Children’s Association; the Chase Literacy Program; area municipal councils and more. The workshop opened with a prayer and talk from elder Ethel Billy, who set the tone by speaking of the land the Creator has provided and the importance of values of respect and gratitude. All four band chiefs – Felix Arnouse of Little Shuswap, Judy Wilson from Neskonlith, Nelson Leon of Admas Lake and Wayne Christian of Splatsin – gave a short talk, most touching on the need for people in the region to find ways of working together. The workshop included break-out sessions, where participants got to know each other in small groups and tackled a variety

Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper said she was pleased to attend the portion of the workshop she could and is looking forward to further conversations and potential partnerships with the bands. A report is being prepared from the event and a follow-up meeting will be scheduled. CLYDE TUCKER PHOTO

Moving forward: Craig Duckchief, one of the MCs for the Moving Forward Together workshop, introduces a speaker. of questions including: what are the challenges that affect our ability to work together, and how can we support each other in taking the next steps? On the first day, a history of government legislation in respect to First Nations was laid out, detailing the list of paternalistic laws that First Nations have been subject to. Adams Lake Band Chief Nelson Leon remarked that despite the struggle, First Nations are resilient and the workshop is about building bridges. Many people expressed their appreciation for the two-day workshop, said Janet

McClean-Senft of the Shuswap Community Resources Cooperative, one of the organizers who perused evaluations of the day. “What really struck me was how many people thought it was a great day and said to the aboriginal people there, tell us more, clearly we didn’t know things, we want more opportunities to hear more.” Both she and Albert Quinn of the Adams Lake Band noted how useful even the months of planning were, as people from the many groups involved got to know each other better and developed strategies together.

Teachers halt after-school activities Schools: Labour Relations Board orders second-term report cards. By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Public school teachers have voted 73 per cent in favour of withdrawing extracurricular activities province-wide to intensify pressure on the provincial government in the continuing labour dispute. The vote of the B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation (BCTF) could affect everything from high school graduation ceremonies to upcoming sports events. The province-wide vote reinforces a decision already taken by Shuswap-area teachers, who previously voted to withdraw their participation in extracurricular activities throughout the North Okanagan-Shuswap Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association (NOSTA) boundaries. This includes Salmon Arm, Sorrento, Sicamous, Enderby and Armstrong. Meanwhile, a decision of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Labour Relations Board has ordered unionized teachers to prepare second-term report

Royal Purple celebrates service By Tammy Thielman OBSERVER CONTRIBUTOR

For long-time Royal Purple member Ellen Hammer, belonging to the Royal Purple is all about helping children and the community, while socializing with friends. Hammer has belonged to the Salmon Arm chapter, or Lodge #279, of the national women’s organization for 50 years, since the local lodge began with about 90 enthusiastic members. Now, the membership is at about 35 and Hammer would love to see new members join the service organization. Similar to its brother organization, the Elks, the Royal Purple is all about helping children and families and giving back to the community. “The Royal Purple looks after kids across Canada. We do a lot of fundraising. We help children up to 18 years of age,” said Hammer, who is the Salmon Arm Royal Purple treasurer and past-president. If a parent is in need, he or she can approach a Royal Purple member with a request for assistance. That member then may take forward the request to lodgemembers. The Royal Purple is

especially known for assisting children with hearing issues, who require hearing aids or cochlear implants, said Hammer. While helping others is important to Hammer, so is visiting with other women involved in the lodge, not only here but wherever she may travel. “We have Royal Purple lodges throughout B.C. and right across Canada. I can go anywhere and there’s someone I know. I like the socializing. It’s important to keep the relationships going.” Hammer’s name is on the charter for the local lodge that she helped start. While the national Royal Purple organization will have a 100th anniversary in 2013, the local lodge is celebrating its 50th anniversary on April 28, at the Elks Hall at 3690 30th Ave. At the 50th anniversary, 99-year-old Vi Owen of Salmon Arm will be presented with her 70-year service pin, said Hammer. Several members will also be receiving 50year pins. Special guests include Supreme Honoured Royal Lady Sharen McLean, from Alberta, who is in charge of all Royal Purple lodges across Canada. Other

Arm Chapter of the Royal Purple work on preparing lunch for the Seniors Resource Centre. The group has been active in community events and helping children in Salmon Arm for 50 years. Elks and Royal Purple dignitaries will also attend the celebration. Hammer points out that women of all ages are welcome to join the Royal Purple. Membership dues are $50 per year. The organization is eager to welcome new members interested in community service. “We’re always working for the community in some respect, making donations and fundraising. It’s wonderful to know that we are helping out kids.” The Royal Purple used to dress in purple and white regalia, explains Hammer, but now is very casual. The organization’s official flower is the purple pansy.

The Order of the Royal Purple meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month at the Elks Hall. Meetings include lunch and time to socialize and run from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tickets for the 50th anniversary celebration are available to the public, but only a limited number are remaining. At the anniversary, there will be special presentations, several special guests, a full dinner and entertainment by Sons of the Hayride. Tickets are $25 each.

Council denies R&B funds By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm council has chosen not to give $10,000 in surplus money to the Roots and Blues Festival. Coun. Chad Eliason had made the motion that the money be taken from the city’s remaining 2011 surplus of $115,558, for Roots and Blues, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary. “That’s the amount of money they’ve requested for the 20th anniversary,” said Eliason. “It’s not necessarily guaranteeing that it will be $50,000 next year.” Couns. Debbie Cannon and Alan Harrison voiced opposition to the motion. Cannon said there are other projects that

Memorial fund races past fundraising goal By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Contributions surpassing all estimates poured into a children’s literacy fund re-named in tribute to the memory of former School District #83 trustee Lisa Rolland. Rolland, who was reelected in November to her third term as trustee for Carlin-Sorrento, died in December of an aggressive form of cancer. As a way to honour Rolland, a children’s literacy fund with the Shuswap Community Foundation was renamed and a goal of $10,000 was set.

said friend and fellow school board trustee Bobbi Johnson. Johnson explains that Rolland knew about re-naming the fund in her honour before she

died. Rolland was passionate about helping children with literacy skills, especially those children with reading challenges. “At first, we were go-

ing to be the case and we discussed re-naming the fund and she was very excited about that. It was one of her dying legacies.” The fund will remain

ing to fundraise for the fund, she was going to shave her head... At that point we thought she was going to get better. Soon it became clear that was not go-

in perpetuity, generating revenue which will be applied exclusively to children’s literacy programs in the Shuswap. “There are going to

be a lot of kids in our school district that are going to get a lot out of this fund. I know Lisa would be delighted about that,” said Johnson.

Spend free time with free gifts.

Lisa Rolland It was thought this might take two to five years to reach. That marker, however, was reached last week, just four months after Rolland’s death. On Tuesday, there was a $240 cheque in the mail to the Shuswap Community Foundation, which put the fund just over the goal. “It says a lot about what she did for children and her community that the fund just took off like that,”

FROM THE

Archives

1919

City council, at a meeting this week, approved spending estimates for the year totalling $17,503.56.

1929

Hours of debate followed the report of the committee at the annual meeting of the Salmon Arm Farmers’ Exchange, which had been investigating alleged internal troubles of the organization. More then 100 members attended. Despite protests from a minority group it was decided nothing was wrong with the business end.

1939

Elks entertained some 125 friends to a card and social evening. In the entertainment department George Shirley led community singing with G. Kingston on piano. Miss Kay Buchan sang several solos, followed by an amusing skit featuring Joan Samsun, Owen Hooper and Verne Solsberg. A successful and profitable year was reported to shareholders of the S-A-F-E Ltd. by president G.F. Ibbotson, general manager A.S. McArthur and board member W.H. Snell.

Kids get Jammin’

1949

In one of the largest Interior timber deals ever, it was announced this week the extensive logging and sawmill operations of R.W. Bruhn Ltd. had been sold to Sasketchewan Federated Cooperatives Ltd., Manager of the Federated Canoe mill, J.J. Carmichael, said the firm had markets for the increased output.

1959

Temperatures on two consecutive nights this week dropped below the 20 degree mark, causing frost damage to gardens and orchards. Despite warnings from engineer W.L. Wade of Kamloops and health officer Dr. Donald Black that their drinking water could bring illness and even death, Chase residents rejected, 73 to 51, a plan for a new system to cost $78,000. The engineer walked out of the meeting saying he would not be party to using contaminated Chase Creek water.

Opening weekend fun One or two small glitches popped up but, overall, things went well during Shuswap Youth Soccer’s opening weekend, said a tired but pleased executive director Kevin Harrison Monday. “I think everything went over fairly well.” He said registration numbers were up a little over last season – from about 1,100 to 1,150 –

probably due mainly to an increase in the TimBits program. With a decrease in fees for the U3/U4/ U5 age groups from $90 to $50 this season, numbers jumped from 75 to about 160. For the ages of U14 to U18 boys and girls, teams could use a few more players, Harrison said, although the U16/ U18 girls have plenty.

He said the association has had a great response from coaches and, to help keep costs down, is asking parents if they could take turns spending about five minutes a week putting up nets or helping out where needed.

Outlaws on a winning streak The Shuswap Midget Outlaws continued their league play this weekend with a home game against North Okanagan. After winning their opener last week against Revelstoke, the Outlaws looked to push their record to 2-0. They started out fast and jumped to a 4-0 lead. Strong defense and solid goaltending from Robert Letcher allowed the offense to get going. The end result was a 15-1

victory for the Outlaws. Coach John BeevorPotts was pleased with the overall team effort, but was quick to point out that the competition will get tougher in upcoming weeks. Shuswap will be busy next weekend as they have three league games. The Outlaws play Penticton in a home game on Saturday. On Sunday, they hit the road with games against Kamloops and Merritt.

Lots of time to train for charity walk/run Participating in the fourth Annual Walk/ Run for Charity is a great way to support your personal fitness goals and help the Shuswap Trail Alliance in the process. Sponsored by Shuswap Lady Striders, this event is a fun, family oriented race featuring distances for everyone: 1.5-kilometre, 5-km and 10-km. Water stations will be located at three points along the route. Men and women, teenagers and children are welcome to take part.

funds for the Shuswap Trail Alliance. The day begins with registration and bib pick-up at 8 a.m., followed by a warm-up at 8:45. The race starts at 9 a.m. sharp. There will be refreshments afterwards and loads of draw prizes, along with recognition for individual age-related performance. Registration and pledge forms are available at Cool Running Walking & Fitness. Entry fees are $10 for adults, $5 for participants 7 to 15 years of age and free for children under six. The fourth Annual Walk/Run for Charity begins and ends at Blackburn Park.

It’s the end of the ﬁrst annual Shuswap Community regular season hockey pool. It was an opportunity for all family members to take part in the excitement and the challenge of who’s group of picks will be the winners, as well as looking to see if their name was randomly picked for a weekly prize. The money raised from the trades was donated to The Shuswap Association for Community Living which is one of nine non-proﬁt groups in a co-op of groups helping a wide spectrum of citizens in the Shuswap Valley during times of need. I am looking forward to next years community hockey pool which will be bigger, better and more exciting, with more amazing sponsors donating prizes. Thank you to Jo-Anne Crawford and staff at the SACL for the opportunity to be a part of the on-going endevour to help our community. I would also like to thank Rick and all the staff at The Salmon Arm Observer for making this community hockey pool a fun event to participate in for everyone in the Shuswap area. Also big thanks to Justine and staff at Canadian Tire, Samuel and staff at The Bear Foot Burger House, Scott and the staff at The Roots ‘n Blues Festival, Jeromy from The Neskonlith Youth Foundation and Mark Anderson and staff at Canadian Bandstand for all of the weekly prizes given out throughout the regular hockey season.

Climbing football ladder Several Salmon Arm football players are taking it to the next level. Travis Colonna is already suiting up for Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and joining him with an academic scholarship will be Chris Szybunka. Salmon Arm’s Kyle Jordan is heading to play at UBC, also armed with a scholarship. Last month four Salmon Arm players, Szybunka, Colby Erickson, Steve Gibbons and Hayden Jeffery, went to the invitation-only 2012 BC Senior Bowl in Langley in March, a prospects game for top Grade 12 students. There Jeffery received

Defensive MVP honours in the east division. “It was the fourth time we’ve had an MVP of the game,” said coach Rob Neid. Several boys are doing tryouts at junior camps including PL Lord, Erickson, Cody Stubbins and Jeffery.

No score

The blazing sun had the U14 Shuswap Selects girls team perspiring before the game started. When the whistle blew, the play seemed pretty even between the Kamloops Blaze and the Selects, but after a few minutes, the ball didn’t seem to want to leave Shuswap’s half. It was shot after shot, corner kick after corner kick, but the score remained at zero. Shuswap got a few chances in Kamloops’ end, but couldn’t find the back of the net.

Great play: Hayden Jeffery, in maroon, makes the play that helped bring him Defensive MVP honours in the east division at the 2012 BC Senior Bowl in Langley in March.

U11 Girls split weekend games in Kelowna The Shuswap Girls U11 Development Soccer Team played two games in Kelowna this weekend. In their first game, Shuswap applied great pressure and dominated the play. Hannah Tarzwell scored with a pass from Roxanne van Rooyen, resulting in a 1-0 win over Penticton. With a 10-minute break, Shuswap faced Vernon. Fatigue seemed to be a factor, resulting in a 6-1 loss. Paige Saitz scored the only goal for Shuswap, with Jade Lutz assisting.

Near the end, both teams had some close calls, but were unsuccessful at getting a ball past either of the keepers. The game ended in a scoreless tie.

On a roll

The U16 Shuswap Selects boys team is two-for-two. Under summer temperatures Sunday on Kelowna’s Mission turf field, the Selects played and won their second game of the season, defeating Kelowna 3-1. In a tough physical game where several Se-

lects came home with bumps and bruises, the Salmon Arm team was leading 1-0 at the half. Kelowna came back to score one but in a seesaw contest, the Selects again took the lead. It was a good transition game, where the team was able to quickly reverse the play and attack the Kelowna goal after an attack on their own net. A tying Kelowna goal was waved off by the referee after a Kelowna forward pushed over a Select defender just prior to scoring. A hard-fought game right to the end, the Se-

Larson reigns in ring Salmon Arm was well represented in the ring during the BC Amateur Golden Gloves Boxing Championships held in Vernon last weekend. Tw e n t y - y e a r- o l d Salmon Arm product Derrick Larson took the Golden Gloves title in the Senior Open welterweight division with a unanimous decision over Morris Crow of Lethbridge. Larsen, who trains with Vernon’s CounterPunch Boxing Club, says he came out swinging without thinking, and had to calm down and get his head in the right place so as to land his punches in the right place. “The difference from sparring to getting in the ring, with the talent I have, is night and day,” said Larson after the event. “I get in the ring and forget all my good moves. You’re trying to kill the guy with every punch rather than use your skill. I just had to get my wits about me and try to out-box him.” The event began with a win by the Salmon Arm Bulldogs’ Noah Paterson vs. CounterPunch’s Connor Holliday. The 11-year-old Paterson would go on to fight in the final and take his division with a

To all residents of Salmon Arm and the surrounding area: I would like to take this opportunity to invite the entire community to join me for a SilverBacks open forum meeting at 6:00p.m. on Wednesday, May 2nd in the Council Chambers at Salmon Arm City Hall. This meeting will provide fans the opportunity to meet me one on one and ask any questions they have with regards to the SilverBacks on and off the ice as well as what my role will be moving forward. I urge everyone in the community to attend, to share their thoughts and opinions on the organization and what we need to improve upon in 2012/2013 and beyond. I look forward to meeting all of you and would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Troy Mick SilverBacks Head Coach/GM

Meghan Fair worked hard, expecting three other females in her category, according to head coach Peggy Maerz. “She made her weight category, only to learn all the other girls failed to show. She won her division and Junior Golden Girl in the gym,” says head coach Peggy Maerz. On Sunday, Ryan Hornung, 30, competed

in the final, winning again to take his title. Arya Jadvani had no one to fight in his category, so was matched in two exhibitions. His first bout, says Maerz, was against an opponent 20 pounds heavier. “Arya showed skill and heart, stealing the show. He was the talk of the crowd, coaches and athletes,” says Maerz. Jadvani was equally impressive in his second exhibition bout. In total, there were

25 bouts over the weekend, and tournament organizer Tony Stamboulieh, who is also head coach at CounterPunch and first vice-president of Boxing B.C., said it was a success. “It really was a good weekend of boxing,” said Stamboulieh. “We put on a really good show. It’s something to be proud of.” -Includes files from the Vernon Morning Star.

Shuswap singers celebrate with music

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

or half a century, members of Shuswap Singers have been giving voice to their passion for vocaliz-

ing. In mid-May they will share their love with the whole community in two concerts that highlight songs they have performed over the course of 50 years, along with some new numbers. There will be songs to suit everyone, with music ranging from folk songs derived from such countries as Puerto Rico and Africa, to popular numbers made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Bette Midler, Roger Whittaker and others. The audience will be treated to a wellknown chorus by Giuseppe Verdi, a classical mass by Josephy Haydn, several show tunes, a 1500 madrigal, country gospel, gospel rock, Canadian and No Man is an Island, a number the choir adopted as their theme song in the 1970s. And the choir is looking forward to giving voice to two special numbers – Ad Infinitum, with lyrics by Tom Brighouse and music by Jim Johnston and Nothing Like This (I Gotta Sing) with word and original music by Linzy Lunkwist, arranged by Jim Johnston especially for the Shuswap Singers as Nothing Like the Shuswap Air. Conductors and pianists who have ac-

The choir is currently in the good hands of director Kate McKie and pianist Marlene Engle. Shuswap Singers accompanist for many years, McKie gave up the ivories in favour of the baton in 2007. “I think it’s amazing the choir is still going strong after 50 years,” she says. “I love being in front of all those people, there is so much talent there.” A music specialist in School District #83, McKie shares her love of music with stu-

dents from kindergarten to Grade 5 at Carlin Elementary Middle School. She has conducted the North OkanaganShuswap Honour Children’s Choir for the past 12 years and in 2010, expanded the program to include a group of older students by creating the Shuswap Youth Choir. Fittingly, McKie and Shuswap Singers both saw the light of day in 1962. And while singing was well underway in Salmon Arm three years later, McKie was starting her musical career in Yamaha’s Early Childhood Music program in Edmonton. Graduating from that program at the age of six, McKie studied piano for 14 years,

flut utee for ut for si fo six, x, aand nd hhoned o ed hher on er vvoice oicce wit oi ithh fl with private instruction and by singing with choirs. McKie pursued furthered her skills in Calgary where she earned a diploma in film production, a BA in English, followed by teacher training and a diploma in Kodaly Music Education. Taking over the piano from McKie, Engel has also been immersed in music from a very early age. From making “a joyful noise unto the Lord” in the Baptist Church to playing piano and violin, Engel has long shared her talent. At school, Engel joined choirs and bands, playing various instruments including flute and tuba. She began teaching piano while still in high school. She first accompanied the Shuswap Singers in 1992 when the choir was under the direction of Margaret Zsadanyi and Lori Onsorge. Engel and her family left Salmon Arm, returning in 2006 and moving back onto the piano bench for the choir a year later. Choir, conductor and accompanist have been working hard to make their 50th anniversary concerts a great celebration. The concerts take place at First United Church at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 12 and 2:30 pm. Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 13. Tickets at $10 each are available at Acorn Music.

Ha ha: Comedian Don Burnstick will share his hilarious take on life in a show to benefit the Neskonlith Youth Committee at Salmon Arm Secondaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sullivan Campus theatre Friday, April 27. sity of San Diego and counselling and healing certificates from other institutions. Burnstick applied his humorous take on life in prevention and counselling. Not only did it work, but when he ran into Wuttunee at a concert in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, it opened another door. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me I was funny and should be a comedian and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it took off,â&#x20AC;? he says, noting he had achieved some notoriety for the way he used humour in counselling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I shared my experience, but most importantly, I got them to trust and share with each other.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My biggest message (to teens) is try to slow down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they want to grow up so fast,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to drink, do drugs, party, shack up. First Nations kids rush through the adolescent process, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a high pregnancy rate.â&#x20AC;? On-stage, Burnstick is one of about 40 na-

tive comedians and in high demand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very cool, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an accomplishment,â&#x20AC;? he says, noting that when he first took his humour to the stage there were only about four native comedians performing in all of North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very grateful.â&#x20AC;? Burnstick plays comedy festivals and numerous other events but does not perform in comedy clubs or bars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use bad language â&#x20AC;&#x201C; being a funny Indian in bunch of a drunken white folks is not the path I chose to take and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done well by that,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can get to a place where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to come back. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never gone that route.â&#x20AC;? Burnstick says he has seen a lot of progress with an ever-increasing number of natives in professional careers, but new problems have reared their ugly heads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last 25 years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also seen crack, crystal meth and the evolution of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gangstaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

rap,â&#x20AC;? he says. But Friday evening at the Sullivan campus theatre will be all about fun and laughter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grab a microphone, walk on stage and whatever happens happens,â&#x20AC;? the popular comedian laughs about his routine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know my audience, I know what makes my people laugh, so I just go with it.â&#x20AC;? And proceeds will go to a good cause â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Neskonlith Youth Committee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for field trips, sports and playgroundequipment, says organizer Tammy Thomas, who is grateful for assistance from School District #83, Jeremy Biron, Christie Sound and Iris Jules. An Evening with Don Burnstick begins at 7 p.m. Friday, April 27 with a welcome by Chief Judy Wilson and a grand entry featuring dancer Bailey Marcellay, Iris Jules and family hand-drumming and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coyoteâ&#x20AC;?

He may leave them laughing now, but Don Burnstickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early life was anything but funny. The youngest of 15 children in the family, he was the only one that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to residential school. But the system still had a devastating effect on the other members of all the Alexander First Nation near Edmonton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the stuff came back to our home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they had been beaten, sexually molested and they brought that back to the community,â&#x20AC;? he says, noting the survivors took their pain out on other band members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It put all the little ones, the five-year-olds, at risk. We never felt safe.â&#x20AC;? Burnstick, a Cree, says that is a pattern that just kept being recycled, trickling down through the generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to go through all this grief, acceptance and deal with my own stuff,â&#x20AC;? says Burnstick, who has been sober since 1985. Burnstick says most of his family is sober now and he cherishes the fact that his nieces and nephews have never seen the adults drunk. Burnstick was sobering up in a stint at Round Lake near Vernon, when he met First Nations singer and comedian Winston Wuttunee. Well-acquainted with drugs, alcohol and life on the streets, a newlysober Burnstick obtained post-secondary training in holistic urban youth at the Univer-

FIVE CORNERS PENTECOSTAL CHURCH

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Intent on introducing Shuswap audiences to the depth of incredible talent living and working in the Thompson, Shuswap and Okanagan, Kelly and Blu Hopkins host the second of three singersongwriter concerts Friday, April 27 at 7:30 p.m. at SAGA Public Art Gallery. “The Songwriters Showcase Series highlights the accomplishments of songwriters in a songwriters circle format,” says Kelly. “The performers have an opportunity to present and perform their songs, as well as explain the creative process which led to the creation of each piece.” Last month’s showcase played to a packed house and another showcase is planned for May. In the meantime, there’s lots of good music to be heard this Friday. First up, it’s The Wild Oaks, the talented songwriting combination of Jacob Verburg and Jesse Clarke. A few jams in the spring of 2011 led to a collaboration that both young men describe as incredibly creative and fulfilling. Together they write music that displays their talents as songwriters and musicians. Another successful musical collabora-

tion, One Camel Short is Richard Owings on five-string violin, and Murray MacDonald on guitar, vocals and percussion. Over the past 13 years, the Enderbybased acoustic duo has created a repertoire of exquisitely-crafted music, much of it original and drawing on sounds and stories from places as diverse as Bulgaria, Venezuela, and Saskatchewan. Live in concert, or on their self-titled CD released in 2011, One Camel Short has taken many a listener on a memorable musical journey. The third duo to share their talent Friday evening is Linz Kenyon and Gillian Cran, who met at Caravan Farm Theatre in the early 1980s. They have been making beautiful music together for more than 20 years. Cran belongs to the hugely talented local family that boasts artists, filmmakers, actors, teachers, musicians and photographers. She is said to hold the distinction of being involved in more Caravan shows than any other “Caravan-er,” be it playing cello, saxophone or flute, driving the big horses, or doing a number of chores. Along with other gigs, Cran plays cello in the Salmon Arm Community Band. Kenyon is a cowboy,

poet, singer-songwriter and theatre playwright. He has been writing songs and playing music all his life and cherishes his appearance in the first Stein Valley Music Festival in Mount Currie, B.C. performing on the same stage as Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn and Blue Rodeo. Kenyon is currently working on two future Caravan productions, one a winter show and the other, an environmental tragedy for which he and former Caravan artistic director Estelle Shook received a Canada Council grant. “We are looking forward to introducing some of our brand new tunes to the audience,” says Kenyon of Friday night’s showcase. “Three cheers to Sil-

vercreek Productions for taking on a job that’s long been needed in the Shuswap area.” Award-winning Kelly and Blu are busy doing other things in the music world as well. Their Silvercreek Studio and Acoustic Music Academy offers instruction and workshops in mandolin, guitar, acoustic bass, clawhammer banjo, dulcimer, vocals and harmony vocals. The couple also offer lessons in song writing, performance and band dynamics. In their recording studio, they provide acoustic musicians with quality digital recording and production services at an affordable price. Tickets for Friday’s showcase are $10 and are available at Acorn Music.

ARIES (March 21 - April 19): The week reaches close to the heart, as an ambition feels like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asking you to give the extra effort you might not be sure is in you. As you go through your days, talk each of your steps out. There are people you trust who can impart advice that empowers you. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): There is a sense of magic with you this week, as your wishes for your life feel achievable. As inspiration hits you, you are catapulted into action. Be open to inspiration and it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let you down. A quiet restlessness will be worked out through wild dreams. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Your friends might ask you some hard questions, leading you to wonder if they are stepping over a boundary. You are in an important week, during which friendships can turn on a dime. Who stays is lucky to have you as a friend. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): A partner might need convincing that you are serious about your ambitions. If you are patient and kind, they will see your heart is in it. A new idea or opportunity related to your career could lead you to consider going in a new direction. LEO (July 23 - August 22): Your career continues to get a celestial boost, and the Universe is determined to see your profile rise. The inner urgency you feel is meant to help fuel your purposeful actions forward. Insecurity squanders this energy, and Leoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are best when they are confident, remember? VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): A direct Mars in your sign gets a shot of sunshine, and you feel a spring in your step. The things you have been working towards seem easier to handle. While there may be some financial wrangling, you have a remarkable way of presenting your case with persuasion and precision.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): The celestial financial advantage is still with you this week, as an inspired source of funding can fall into place with action backed with sincerity. Your partnerships are asking for personal changes that feel like work. Love at first sight might be largely of your own creation. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): The bright spot in your life this week is love. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an established partnership or a new interest, you feel that you can believe in romance again. It does make your work life more manageable, as quick changes lead to honest self-examination of your goals. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): Fun time can be scheduled in and is likely to be good for the sprit, but too much of a good thing is - well, you know where that road can lead. Early in the week is a great time to buy raffle or lottery tickets. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): There are changes on the home front, and conclusions can arrive in a quick flash. There may be need for some time to adjust, but you call forward your grace and navigate well. A flirtatious conversation fills a longforgotten need for fun and romance. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): You have the right creative ideas, and your self-trust is admirable, but pursuing them has an uncanny way of bringing up your anxieties. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let insecurity stop you from doing what is not only fun, but also profitable. Home based businesses get a boost with new ideas. PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Your modern ruling planet, Neptune gets a boost from the Sun early in the week, filling you with creative ideas and confidence to make the most of them. Financial questions may come up, but you have the skill and luck to resolve them.

MARION KATHLEEN McCRACKEN (nee ENGLISH) Marion Kathleen McCracken, nee English, passed away peacefully April 19th on her 91st birthday. Marion is survived by her sister Margery Meier, her five children Kay, Jim, Marilyn, Michael (& wife Gloria), and Karen McCracken, eleven grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and three great, great grandchildren. Marion will be remembered for her incredible strength, her gentle spirit, her love of children and family, which sustained her right to the end. She was born and raised in Revelstoke, B.C., taught elementary school in Golden and Revelstoke until she married Bill (W.R.) McCracken. Bill was a C.P.R superintendant, which meant that Marion and the children moved many times, from Revelstoke to Medicine Hat, to Calgary, to Toronto, back to Medicine Hat, and finally to Vancouver. When Bill and Marion retired, they moved to Sorrento and spent over twenty-five wonderful years enjoying the Shuswap. Bill passed away in 1990, leaving Marion to tend their beautiful gardens until she moved to Salmon Arm in 1998. When the children grew up, Marion went back to school to become a preschool teacher. She became a highly sought after supervisor at a large preschool in Vancouver. Along with Marion’s many hobbies and talents, her easy-going nature, her love of music — she played the piano, organ, auto harp, and accordian, and sang in the United Church choir in her younger days—she had an adventurous spirit. She travelled whenever the opportunity arose. She and Bill enjoyed camping trips in their van. They loved to explore B.C., the many lakes in the Shuswap, and they once drove across Canada. They traveled through the United States on differrent occasions, and to Mexico where they were robbed by machete wielding bandits. And how could Marion ever forget the white water rafting trip son Jim signed them up for! After Bill passed away, Margery Marion enjoyed an unforgetable cruse to Alaska. Marion was predeceased by her brothers Jack, Jim, George, and Dick English. Our family would like to thank our mother’s doctor, Dr. Plessis, for her excellent care, the nurses at Shuswap Lake General Hospital who attended Mom in acute care, and the staff at Bastion Place, Palliative Care, for their gentle and thoughtful attention to our mother. Our thanks to David Wallensteen at Bowers Funeral Service and to Rev. Juanita Austin at the First United Church. Mother enjoyed attending, and volunteering at the United Church her entire life. Thank you to all those many people who have sent prayers and support for our mother and our family. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 2 p.m. from the First United Church Hall, Salmon Arm, B.C.

It is with great sadness that the family of Jim announces his passing on Wednesday April 18, 2012 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm at the age of 94 years. Born on January 07, 1918 to parents Orville and Madge Dodds in Lethbridge, AB. The Dodds family relocated to BC when Jim was two years old. Jim had many passions in his life; his career as a logger and later in life as a farmer.Jim loved to spend time with his friends around the bridge table, camping and ﬁshing, but most of all spending time with his family was when Jim was the most happiest.
