Teen falls from cliff in Gleneden By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

A teenager remains in serious condition in Royal Inland Hospital after apparently slipping off a trail above Gleneden Falls and plunging approximately 60 feet to land on rocks underneath the falls. The unnamed girl, who appeared to be about 18 years old, was walking along an upper trail with a friend at 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 11 when she fell. “It appears she just lost her footing and went over the edge,” says Cpl. Luiz Sardinha of the Salmon Arm RCMP. “She ended up on the rocks under the falls with the water landing on her. It was fortunate there were some rock climbers and hikers with first-aid training right there.” Jordan Pack was one of the rock climbers. He, along with his partner Alaina Labelle, was preparing to scale a nearby rock face when they saw the teen fall. It appeared she slipped, slid on her stomach and fell feet first over the cliff face. “I heard the scream, looked up and saw her fall,” he said. “It was horrific to watch a person fall like that... I’m having trouble getting it out of my mind.” Pack, who has level-three firstaid training, raced to help the girl, who was being drenched by the waterfall. He was joined by Don Lazar, a hiker who also has first aid knowledge. Lazar’s wife Kelly ran down the trail with the girl’s friend to find a place to make cell phone calls for help. The two men climbed to the base of the falls and immediately

began first aid. “We tried to stabilize her spine and we knew she had head injuries. She was barely conscious, just mumbling. We had to get her out of the water, so we moved her to the bank,” says Pack. The rescuers then moved her across the creek for easier access to emergency personnel, and tried to cover her with their jackets in an attempt to keep her warm. “It was pretty emotional, we saw her starting to shiver so we just tried to give her a bear hug, to keep her as warm as we could. It felt like forever until we saw the paramedics come up with the stretcher.” BC Ambulance confirms the call and says due to the obvious seriousness of the teen’s condition a medi-vac helicopter from Kamloops was dispatched immediately. Shuswap Search and Rescue were also called in to assist with the rescue. “It was great to see how everyone came to help. The climbers, neighbours from the area, search and rescue. And the helicopter was so fast. By the time the paramedics had her halfway down the trail, the helicopter was waiting in the parking lot,” says Sardinha. “She was very lucky, not much longer and it wouldn’t have been light enough for the helicopter to fly in like that.” Pack says Saturday was a difficult day for the couple, as they had not heard about the girl’s condition, but they have now been informed the teen is more stable. “We heard she has a fractured skull, broken ankles, broken ribs, a See Safety on page A2

No resolution on pot plan By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

At this point, Salmon Arm council won’t be signing a resolution supporting a regulatory approach to the control of marijuana, but nonetheless council members have been recognized for their ability to keep open minds. Retired physician Dave Ken-

nedy spoke at council’s May 14 meeting on behalf of Stop the Violence BC, asking that council adopt a resolution endorsing the regulation, taxation and control of marijuana use under a public health framework. Kennedy and his group have spoken to a number of councils, finding support for the proposed resolution from such communities

as Vernon, Armstrong, Enderby, Lumby, Lake Country, Victoria and four in the Lower Mainland. As he concluded his presentation in Salmon Arm, Kennedy expressed his appreciation to council. “Thank you for being willing to enter into a dialogue. This is the See Issue on page A2

Issue could resurface at UBCM Continued from front best come and go I’ve had with a council yet.” A Vernon resident, Kennedy explained he is a retired medical doctor, and family and marital therapist. His work has taken him to India, to the Round Lake Treatment Centre and to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. He said Stop the Violence’s resolution in no way condones the recreational use of cannabis but rather seeks to bring it into a regulated market where its use can be controlled using public health principles similar to what have been applied successfully to cigarette smoking over the past 50 years. “We would like a process for a new conversation on prohibition, which has clearly failed. Not only is prohibition a failed policy, but there’s increasing violence.” He pointed to thousands of killings in Mexico and, closer to home, in the Lower Mainland. He mentioned the Bacon brother who was gunned down at a Kelowna hotel. He noted a 2011 report from the global commission on drugs, in which world lead-

ers declared the war on drugs a failure and called for a new policy. Kennedy also referred to former U.S. district attorney John McKay, the prosecutor in the case of B.C.’s ‘Prince of Pot’ Marc Emery who is now serving time in a U.S. prison. McKay spoke publicly last month on a panel in Vancouver with former B.C. Attorney General Geoff Plant. McKay said criminal prohibition of marijuana is a complete failure and marijuana, like alcohol, should be produced and sold to adults by the government, generating billions of tax dollars rather than providing profits for violent drug lords and gangs. Coun. Alan Harrison said he has an opinion but isn’t sure it’s qualified. He said he sees marijuana as a gateway to other drugs and knows that local police officers aren’t in favour of changing prohibition. Kennedy said he respects the opinion of police and the job they do. “What we’re trying to say is there are unintended consequences of the prohibition model.” Coun. Marg Kentel said she was an addictions counsellor for 12

Chad Eliason said he thinks the question is beyond the realm of municipalities and lies with the provincial and federal governments. Coun. Ken Jamieson said he’d like to see decisions on marijuana move out of the courts and into Parliament. He added that he thinks

the motion will be one council will be voting on in the fall at the Union of BC Municipalities convention. Mayor Nancy Cooper said she’s spoken to public health officials and wants to continue gathering more information so she can come to an informed decision. She said she’d like the city’s social issues committee to explore the issue. “It’s a huge issue, a community issue... I don’t want our youth to think it’s okay and I don’t want to disrespect our RCMP officers who are working hard and put their lives on the line every day.” Coun. Debbie Cannon said she’d like

more information. She said she thinks back to stories of parents and grandparents talking about prohibition and how people would sneak it into dances. “I think way back when alcohol wasn’t accepted... In my mind, alcohol and marijuana, they’re really on the same level.” Coun. Denise Reimer said she works in the emergency services field and has worked in the Downtown Eastside. She said the effects of marijuana and alcohol differ greatly in behavioural patterns. “I would like to see this go forward,” she said of the resolution, “and I completely support it.”

Council rejects plans for housing near Appleyard By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A plan to create a residential development next to the Appleyard subdivision in Salmon Arm has been stopped in its tracks. At Monday’s council meeting, the majority of city council voted against an official community plan (OCP) amendment from low density residential to medium density that would be required for the development in the 1600 block of 28th Avenue NE to proceed. Mayor Nancy Cooper as well as Couns. Marg Kentel and Debbie Cannon voted in favour, while Couns. Chad Eliason, Ken Jamieson, Denise Reimer and Alan Harrison voted against the amendment. The motion in question had been changed to reflect a lengthy council discussion. The development was proposed by Gary Arsenault of Green Emerald Investments Inc. regarding properties at 1641 and 1681 28th Ave. NE, owned by R. & A. Holmes and R. & T. Jobe, respectively. It would cater to residents 55 years and older. The motion defeated Monday would have given first reading only to the OCP amendment, with second reading to be withheld pending a traffic study and geotechnical report. The 8.3 hectare site in question, located between the CP Railway and Lakeshore Road NE, and north of Apple-

yard, includes steep terrain. “It’s been defeated and will not carry on,” said Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer, in response to a question from Kentel regarding the ramifications of the vote. “There are re-application possibilities I guess, but in it’s present form it’s been defeated.” Currently the properties are zoned R-1, single family residential, so the developer would have the option to proceed with a singlefamily development. No public hearing for rezoning would be required.

lowed under R-4 zoning. Under R-1, 182 lots would be permitted. Issues of concern centered around traffic, potential for flooding, and changing the official community plan. Appleyard residents turned out to both meetings, with traffic their main concern. In voting against the proposal, Reimer stressed that the official community plan was revised recently with considerable community input, so she couldn’t support changing it. Harrison said he agrees that retirement housing is needed, but noted there are R-4 lots

Ken Jamieson CITY COUNCILLOR In the defeated proposal, Arsenault had been requesting the medium density, R-4 zoning because the lot areas would be smaller, plus multi-family dwellings were proposed for the east side. He said he wished to be able to cluster housing in order to work around the steep terrain, something that would make the development economically viable. He was agreeable to capping the number of units developed at 95, although 332 are potentially al-

in the community now that aren’t being built on. “I just think this is the wrong place,” he said referring to the OCP’s low density designation. “It’ll be more suitable to the surrounding area, just like Appleyard is a single family subdivision.” Kentel said she thinks council would have done it’s job by having the traffic and geotechnical reports done prior to second reading. “I think Appleyard residents would rather

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

No longer camera shy Progress. It can happen. When it comes to mental illness, stigma is still a part of the disease. With a one-in-five rate of people living with a mental-health illness, odds are every one of you knows someone with it. Where people might not shy away from someone who has cancer or diabetes, they just might be at a loss with how to deal with someone who is in the midst of clinical depression or a bipolar episode. By its very nature, those who suffer from mental illness are often the least equipped to be advocates for themselves. Just getting out of bed can seem insurmountable, let alone battling someone who says, “Just shake it off.” But things are changing. Mental illness is becoming more understood and less feared. Many of those who have or continue to suffer from mental illness are more willing to share, rather than hide. People like Nan Dickie and Gary Hall, who both have struggled with mental illness, and have reached out to others through the creation of a depression support group. While they respect the anonymity of those who attend, they understand the need for people to put a name and a face out there — stigma thrives on silence. Dickie, Hall and others in our community send a message that there is no shame in having an illness, be it physical or mental. This became clear to me when I went last Thursday to the Walk for Acceptance. This was the third annual event and I noticed a significant difference. I attended the first event at McGuire Lake, partly because I wanted to show support after my own difficulties with postpartum depression following the birth of my twins. But I was also there in a professional capacity to record the event, write about it and take photos. At that time, I chatted with a number of people, but when I pulled out my notebook, many people hedged. They were happy to talk, but didn’t want to give their names, fearing the stigma or negative consequences if people in this small community knew of their illness. A photo, too, was extremely difficult to get. While many people walked around the lake that day, many also approached me and asked that they not be included in any image. What a change three years later. After I introduced myself to the organizers and explained I wanted to take a photograph, my request was met without the blink of an eye. The assembled crowd knew of my presence and that my camera lens would be aimed at participants. Not one person balked. No one attempted to avoid me. No one approached me afterwards to ask that they not be shown in the paper. I left the event smiling. Clearly the Walk of Acceptance has done exactly that —brought a little more respect and understanding to our community.

Editorial

Be cautious with rising waters You don’t have to be a boy scout to know that being prepared for an emergency is the best way to go through life. Except in modern times we sometimes forget that we can be at the mercy of Mother Nature more than we like to consider. So we drop our guard and forget that emergencies aren’t just things that happen to other people. This year’s snowpack is slightly above average, a torrential rainstorm last week brought localized flooding and the forecast is for warmer temperatures ahead. It’s a recipe that could include flooding to areas that are susceptible in the spring and people need to be prepared. That’s why emergency officials are cautioning people that flooding may be on its way, and sooner than normal in these parts. Personal preparedness is the key, which means

it’s up to you to protect yourself. There’s also safety measures to be aware of for all residents. Water levels can rise dramatically and pets and small children should be monitored at all times. While water may look safe, even fun, currents can be unpredictable, and cold water can overwhelm even seasoned swimmers. Although serious flooding is difficult to predict and there’s no cause for panic, it’s certainly possible and the time to prepare is now, not when the water starts heading towards your home, or farm, or animals. Cooler temperatures over the next several days should slow down the melt and river flow. But there’s still snow at higher levels and a combination of high temps alone, or combined with heavy rainfall could bring it down – fast. – Black Press

The Observer asked:

If you could give a new mother one piece of advice what would it be?

Barbie Lereux “Don’t sweat the small stuff things that won’t matter a year from now.”

Brenda Haynes “Be prepared to give more of yourself than you might think you should.”

Everyone needs to step up There are those upset with teachers for not continuing extracurricular activities, concluding that those who want to be considered professional need to to do so. Let us follow this logic. Is your doctor any less professional because they refuse to make volunteer house calls after office hours? How about that mechanic, less professional if they don’t come over and fix your car for free on a Sunday afternoon. Why are teachers less professional if they don’t give of their own free time? So why has volunteering at schools become the professional standard for teachers? What it has become is the dumping ground for our society. They have had to take on what society no longer is prepared to do. We are told that, without teachers volunteering, kids will not play sports, get hefty scholarships, exercise, participate in theatre, experience camp-outs, graduation parties, cruises, trips overseas, or visits to the Parliament Buildings. Many kids will go hungry and have no clothing to wear if teachers don’t volunteer. These used to be jobs of parents and other community volunteers. Instead of demanding that teachers give countless hours outside of teaching we should thank them for the time they do volunteer for us. While the government has chosen to demonize these people, maybe society should just be thankful for what we get, be feeling guilty to be expecting more, and then expect more from ourselves. Volunteer service does not define a teacher as a professional – any more than it defines the rest of us – this is their way to give back to society as members of our community – and giving back to society is not the sole domain of teachers. You and I could do the same. What are you doing after school on Friday or this weekend? Want to look after 30 kids? Bruce McCloy

Irene Burstyk “Have patience, show consideration and give respect.”

Linda Arnold “Have patience – a lot of patience.”

Rhonda Bailey “Always try to see the humour in things.”

Making mother’s day meaningful Re-think Mother’s Day? Yes, we agree that Mothers should be honoured and setting aside a day to do that is very nice, but did you know that Mother’s Day originally had a different focus? The first attempts to establish a “Mother’s Day” were mostly marked by women’s peace groups. A common early activity was the meeting of groups of mothers whose sons had fought or died on opposite sides of the American Civil War. There were several

limited observances in the 1870s and the 1880s, but none achieved resonance beyond the local level. In the United States “Mother’s Day Work Clubs” were organized to improve sanitation and health in the area. In New York City, a “Mother’s Day” anti-war observance was held on June 2, 1872, which was accompanied by a Mother’s Day Proclamation. Since then it has become a very commercialized event. I’m suggesting that we

mothers take this day to write to our MLAs and our MPs (assuming democracy still works) to support whatever causes we feel strongly about, whether it’s leaving a sustainable planet for our children and grandchildren or returning Canada to its former role of international peacekeeper... whatever. Maybe we can think up something bigger for next year. Pass it on. Joan Sturdy

McGuire Lake an educational experience for all The stocking of trout in McGuire Lake and the new dock there turns our lovely park into an outdoor classroom. While the children are learning to fish they are also observing insects, birds, turtles, and weather. The children are also spending quality time with parents and grandparents. What do Leanne McIvor and Tom Crowley expect children to do at McGuire Lake? Sit on a bench and pretend that they are old? Children naturally enjoy interacting with the world around them, this is how they learn to appreciate our natural environment. Perhaps some of these children who first experience fishing at McGuire Lake will

grow up to be future biologists, botanists and environmentalists. The trout in the pond are functioning as teaching aids; just as mice, other animals, and even human bodies are teaching aids in schools around the world. Did Crowley ever use frogs in his years of learning and teaching biology? I assume he did. Is that respectful of our amphibian friends? The trout are being used to teach children. I’m sure if the fish were asked if they would be willing to endure a short uncomfortable life in order to help young humans learn ecology, they would say: “Yes.” Whatever it takes to encourage young people to

go outdoors and think about our natural environment is good for the whole of our society and planet. The shallowness of McGuire Lake is not a major concern, nor the short life span of the trout. What deeply concerns me and other environmentalists is shallow, shortterm thinking. Barbless hooks will help to protect the turtles. The new dock is enjoyed by all… birds, otters, people and turtles. Some young anglers of today will become tomorrow’s scientists, providers of food, and/or outdoor focused photo-journalists. Kalene Bourque

Studies indicate oil sands pollution proven hazardous Re: Environmentalism for dummies (B.C. Views, April 17). Tom Fletcher writes: “Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over.” Fletcher is pushing an argument that was proven wrong in 2010. Several years ago, people downstream from the oilsands plants complained of diseased fish. They also complained of increased cancer rates. People were dying from rare forms of cancer. They blamed both items on pollutants that were put into in the

Athabasca River by the oil-sands plants. The oil companies claimed that the pollutants in the river were naturally occurring. The governments of Canada and Alberta supported the companies. In 2010, a study by David Schindler and others proved that the pollution is indeed caused by the oil-sands industry. At first, both governments denied it. But the study was well-funded, well-done and produced results that could stand up in court. Both governments conceded that Schindler was correct. Why was it necessary for private

groups to fund that study? Are our governments not responsible for protecting us from pollutants that cause cancer? Are they not required to protect places such as the Peace Athabasca Delta, and other natural wonders downstream from the oil-sands? Why were they so quick to side with the companies, when no such study had been done? What have they done to alleviate the situation? Bill McConnell

Screening key to changing

cancer statistics By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

BC NDP leader Adrian Dix would like to see the BC government push ahead with a province-wide program for colorectal cancer screening. While visiting the Shuswap last week, Dix stopped by the Observer to speak about colorectal cancer and his ongoing campaign for a preventive screening program, a preventive approach that he says would help save more lives. “I’ve been working for sometime to promote colorectal cancer screening because it’s a relatively easy and not a very costly thing to do that can save lives and save money in the LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR health care system in the long Great Game of Golf: Gloria Morgan gets a high five from her caddy NDP leader run,” says Dix.

Survey seeks input on palliative care By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

End-of-life care is on the table for discussion and Dr. Joan Bratty is hoping residents will speak up. Bratty is chair of a committee overseeing a collaborative initiative between local family doctors and Interior Health. “The mandate of working group is to look into status of the current (hospice) care through surveys and hospital questionnaires,” she says, pointing out very few people are without some experience with palliative care issues. “We are reviewing palliative care services in the Shuswap area with the aim of improving the care of terminally ill patients and their families. There are lots of opinions about quality of service and we’re trying to get as much community engagement as possible.” A survey to assess community opinion of palliative care services in our region is now available in local doctors’ offices, the outpatient lab/ community care office at the top of Tank Hill and online at www.surveymonkey.com/s/shuswappcare. Hospital patients and their families will also be given an opportunity to express their opinions and concerns

about palliative care in the area. The survey seeks opinions on how well needs of both patients, families and friends were met in a hospice situation, availability of helpful information and the transition to or from hospital. There is an opportunity to express both kudos and concerns regarding hospice care, to present suggestions for improvements and to get involved in a community forum. The information obtained from the survey will be for data collection purposes only. All survey responses will remain anonymous. Surveys must be completed and returned by September. Results of the survey will be presented at a public forum to be held in Salmon Arm on Nov. 14. The forum will include focus groups to allow interested community members to discuss issues and share their ideas. “We will provide research about palliative care in rural communities — that’s a unique setting,” says Bratty, noting candid input is important and valued. “It’s a critical health care issue for everybody, so we’re trying to get as much information back as possible.”

Course offers tools to improve mental health By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Life getting you down? Too much to do, too little time? If you’re feeling overwhelmed and need some help to tackle your issues this course could be for you. Thanks to a grant from the Community Foundation, the Shuswap Revelstoke branch of the Canadian Mental Health Associations is offering a free eightweek course called Living Life to the Full (LLTTF). “LLTTF is a skillsenhancing course based on cognitive behavioural principles (CBT) and is suitable for people who want to maximize their ability to deal with life’s challenges in a 12-hour,

eight-week course,” says a CMHA press release. Two trained staff facilitators lead the licensed course, which is offered in a group format in one-hour sessions and normally costs $150 per person. Activities are designed to engage participants at their comfort level, and inspire them to shift how they respond to stresses in their lives. Sessions include LLTTF booklets, worksheets, as well as moderated discussions in which participants may share information, ideas, and provide mutual support. People from all walks of life benefit from LLTTF: Parents, employers, people experiencing stress and change in their lives,

individuals living with mental health issues, etc. For employers, this is a great wellness program for your staff. Whatever the reason, the skills covered in LLTTF can provide you with useful tools to enhance how you tackle life’s challenges. Participants are taught how to deal with their feelings when fed up, worried or stressed, and learn skills to help them tackle their problems. The first of eight weekly 90-minute sessions in this free program begins at 12:15 p.m. Friday, June 1 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. For more information, visit www.llttf.ca. To register, call Dianna Churchill at 250-8328477 ext. 202.

School budget sees shortfall By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Declining enrolment and associated revenue for the coming school year look to put School District #83 short more than $1 million. The school district is projecting to be down another 250 students next year, with the trend continuing for the next four or more years. Funding from the Ministry of Education is primar-

ily allocated on a per-student basis. Stirling Olson, secretary-treasurer for the school district, told the board at the May 8 meeting that revenues will decline. The school district does receive funding through a protection grant, which is designed to help school districts with declining enrolment cover fixed costs within the system. However, even with the grant of $1.2 million, the school district will be

short more than $1 million. “Without this grant, the district would be down over $2.35 million,” he said. The closure of Ashton Creek Elementary School saved approximately $400,000, and some additional savings will come from staffing reductions that result from dropping student numbers. A full budget bylaw will be presented at the June 12 regular board meeting.

Indoor tennis put on hold By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Plans for an indoor tennis facility were hit by a brutalizer recently, when two potential funding sources disappeared. In September, city council gave its blessing to plans for the facility when Salmon Arm Tennis Club member Ken Hecker came to a council meeting to describe the project. Located on the edge of Little Mountain Park at 3440 Okanagan Ave. SE, the club would like to build a 20,800 square foot, three-court indoor steel-frame facility with washrooms to complement its four outdoor courts. The budget for the new facility is $875,000. At that time, the club anticipated getting a construction loan for the majority of the cost but would need city backing as required by its financial institution. The club had already received $5,000 from Tennis BC and was expecting a $131,000 facilities grant from Tennis Canada. It was also going to seek corporate, federal and provincial grants for the remainder. But so far itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been bad news on both fronts.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Idea: A conceptual drawing of the proposed tennis facility. The Tennis Canada grant went to Fredericton, NB. Hecker explains that the New Brunswick city is larger, plus it will be putting in six courts rather than three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus the province of New Brunswick put in a million towards the project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and of course Tennis Canada is going to pay attention to that.â&#x20AC;? Unwelcome word also came to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, whose grant application to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Recreation Program for $400,000 in indoor tennis facility funding was not successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were very optimistic because of positive statements from everyone, we had an executive business plan in place...,â&#x20AC;? said Hecker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we went from a high degree of optimism to a little bit

of discouragement, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good project and everything is in place to continue.â&#x20AC;? He said the tennis club will continue looking for funding sources for the facility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the wishes of everyone involved is that we continue. We certainly have everything in place.â&#x20AC;? In his September presentation to council, Hecker noted that ten-

nis is a growing sport in Canada and the facility would be a regional draw. Locally, the club now has 208 members, its highest number ever. Hecker said tennis is a sport that attracts young and old and an indoor facility would have economic spinoffs for the community because the club would be able to attract regional players and host tournaments.

The sod has officially been turned, with an opening date expected about a year from now. Ground was broken last week for the second branch of the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union, to be located next to the new Askew’s store planned for the top of the hill. “We’re excited obviously,” says chief executive officer Michael Wagner. “It’s a significant investment in this marketplace – over $10 million, it’s exciting for us.” The new two-storey building will house retail banking services and SASCU Insurance on the first floor, with branch support functions on the second floor along with leasable office space. Wagner said the credit union will be working with a construction manager through the services of SCIP, Shuswap Construction Industry Professionals, to provide as much access to local trades as possible. Upon completion, Wagner expects about onethird of SASCU transactions to move to the uptown branch. Construction is expected to wrap up in May or June 2013.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District MAY BOARD MEETING The May meeting of the Board of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District will be held at the District of Sicamous Council Chambers located at 446 Main Street, Sicamous BC on Thursday May 17, 2012 commencing at 9:30 AM.

A collaborative option OBSERVER STAFF

The breakdown of a marriage, particularly when children are involved, can open the door to the complicated world of family law. “At present, most families needing to sort out their legal issues hire lawyers and proceed to slog their way through the various courts, provincial, Supreme and sometimes criminal, an exhausting, an expensive, slow and frustrating process that often ends without a satisfactory resolution, says mediator Stephanie Frolek, who recently opened her doors to a new practice. “There is plenty of talk about an entirely new approach to how family legal issues are resolved, including the implementation of unified courts, community tribunals, collaborative law and mediation. But the process of change is extremely slow and cumbersome.” Frolek says the current court system is adversarial and she calls dealing with required paperwork daunting. “When we look at family law, the lack of change to the legal system has created an

environment that drains families of their time, energy and money,” she says, noting the whole community is affected by a breakdown in the family. Introduced Nov. 24, 2011 the new Family Law Act has introduced some much-needed changes to legislation, however, most of it is not expected to come into effect until some time in 2013. “One change that

Stephanie Frolek FAMILY LAW MEDIATOR has been introduced is to promote co-operation between parties and ways of resolving problems without going to court,” Frolek says. “With more and more lawyers opting out of practising family law altogether, cuts to legal aid services and the growing burden on families and the judicial system, it is time for the

SAS to welcome two principals By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

There will be two principals at Salmon Arm Secondary for the upcoming school year, one based at the Sullivan Campus and one at Jackson. Rob MacAulay, currently principal of Pleasant Valley Secondary, will be moving as co-principal of Salmon Arm Secondary at the Sullivan campus. Reid Findlay, currently Principal of Len Wood Middle School, will be moving as co-principal of Salmon Arm Secondary at the Jackson campus. One of the reasons for the shift to the co-prinicpal model is to provide a daily principal presence at each campus. Reg Fogerty had been the interim principal at SAS following the departure of Greg Kitchen, who accepted a position with the Sunshine Coast School District. Other changes include Abbas El Gazzar, currently principal of A.L. Fortune Secondary, moving to take the principal’s role at Pleasant Valley Secondary and Gene Doray, currently vice-principal of Salmon Arm Secondary, becoming principal at A.L. Fortune Secondary. Len Ircandia is retiring as vice-principal of Salmon Arm Secondary, while Steve Atkins is retiring as the principal of South Broadview Elementary. Superintendent Dave Witt says these changes are the first round of transfers, with further announcements to come. The CSRD is seeking residents who are interested in becoming involved in

Heartburn Reflux By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

It’s as friendly to the environment as it is to your budget.

Outlaws best in province In Ridge Meadows this weekend, the Shuswap Midget Outlaws more than measured up in a tournament which included many of the top B level teams in the province. In their first game Shuswap was sluggish but still managed to defeat the home team Burrards from Ridge Meadows 5-3. A 6-6 tie with the Coquitlam Adanacs and a 5-3 win over the Chilliwack Mustangs secured a place in the semi-finals for the Outlaws. Shuswap then went on to defeat the South Delta Islanders 10-5 to move on to the final Sunday afternoon. In the final, the Outlaws came out strong, built an early lead and cruised to a 6-2 tournament victory. Coaches Mike Berg and John Beevor-Potts were pleased with the team’s effort. “We started the tournament a little flat but our offense got better with each game,” said Beevor-Potts. “The defense was terrific from beginning to end. The kids worked very hard.” Shuswap goalies Robert Letcher and Calvin Davyduke were both recognized as game MVPs, as were Paul Beevor-Potts and Adam New. The team returns to the Okanagan for league play on May 26 against Revelstoke.

Another fabulous day Sunday for the hundreds of cyclists who came to Salmon Arm to test themselves on the South Canoe trails. “Every year I’m blown away by how many people want to keep coming back,” said Salty Dog co-organizer Tom Peasgood of Skookum Cycle. “It’s a fun atmosphere, a really small-town atmosphere, and everyone super appreciates what they get.” With about 485 adults racing in the main event,

the Salty Dog 6-Hour Enduro mountain bike race, and 250 young people between the ages of three and 15 taking part in the Salty Dog 3-Hour Under-15, the Salty Pup 1-Hour Enduro and the new Junior Salty Pup 30-Minute Enduro, the hills were alive with the sight of energetic cyclists. The 6-Hour Enduro sold out in January within nine hours of registration opening. “Most people were here for a minimum of one day and some for three days, spending money in our community big-time,” said

Peasgood. “We estimate $400,000 came into the community over two days for food, gas, accommodations, things like that.” One highlight, says Peasgood, were the two winning solo racers who managed to complete 10 laps rather than the nine maximum of last year, despite a longer course. At an average of about 38 minutes a lap, that is “stinkin’ fast,” summed up Peasgood. More local riders, both adults and young people, participated this year than ever before. Local racers did well, with the team of John

Connor and Warren Ellis placing first in the men’s team, 71-94 lap length. Alison Howatt and Laura Hepburn placed second in the women’s team 71-plus lap length. Seth van Varseveld and Andrew Nash placed first in the 3-Hour Under 15 Enduro. All the results can be seen at zone4.ca. Helping the cause were more than 100 local volunteers, many returning, who came out to experience the fun. For Peasgood, the attraction of the race can be summed up this way: “It’s like going to Gramma’s house, get-

Excelling at new distance By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Not only did Salmon Arm’s Emmy Sim complete her first marathon as the youngest competitor in the race, she aced her category. Emmy and her dad Richard took part in the 42.2-kilometre 2012 BMO Vancouver Marathon on May 6, and her sister Meryn participated in the 21-km. halfmarathon. A runner cannot take part in the marathon until they’re 16. Emmy squeezed under the wire; her 16th birthday was on May 4, just two days before the big race. Age was clearly not a disadvantage for her. In the female 19-andunder category, Emmy was fastest of the 10 runners participating, finishing in a time of 3:50:38. Out of the total field of 1,838 women competing in all categories, she placed 260th. Emmy’s dad Richard also did well, placing 44th out of 106 in the men’s 60 to 64 category, finishing in a time of 4:25:41. Similarly Meryn, competing in the half-marathon, placed 18th out of 67 in her 19-and-under category in a time of 1:57:21.

OBSERVER FILE PHOTO

Fast: Emmy Sim takes part in a crosscountry run at Larch Hills in 2011 prior to taking on the marathon length. Emmy said the marathon was a good experience, one she learned from. “I started out way too fast,” she says, explaining that’s a common pattern for her when

she does shorter races. In this case, she began by trying to pace herself with someone who, she realized later, was too fast. Consequently, she completed the first half of the race in 1:30:25

and the second half in 2:19:51. About three-quarters along, the race started to get tough for her, but the last five kilometres “was really cool,” she says. “There started to be crowds of people around the race course, cheering. It was so exhilarating.” When Emmy got to the finish, she figures she must have looked pretty bad. She sat down and people gave her food. “I didn’t want to move – I sat and ate food for so long,” she says, explaining that her family finally found her. Soon after she went to sleep. “I pretty much slept for four hours straight,” she says, and then ate more food. She notes, laughing, that her youngest sister, who didn’t participate, was pretty bored after the race. There they were, in Vancouver, with all its possibilities, and her whole family was sleeping. Emmy says she was sore for a couple of days after the event – “it was a little difficult walking downstairs for a while there” – but not as bad as she thought it would be.

Will she do another marathon? Absolutely. “It was a really good experience.”

Other locals The Sims were not alone in representing Salmon Arm. In fact, 26 other Salmon Arm names are listed in results for the marathon and half-marathon. Participating in the marathon were: Luke Maygard, Barry Wilson, Sherry Lucas, Chris Welder, Gerald Christie, Chris Arnason and Kealy Mills. In the half-marathon, Salmon Arm’s Duncan Morris took second spot out of 71 competitors in his 65- to 69-year-old male category. Also placing in the top 10 was Mary Hamilton, who came ninth out of 50 in the female 65 to 69 category. Other participants in the half-marathon were Peter Robertson, Jared MacLeod, Nick Matheson, Erin Jackson, Bailey Wong, Bruce Kendall, Ray Warner, Elaine Warner, Robert Huot, Bob Bagg, Lila Bagg, Monja Jespersen, Franwyn Burman, Debbie Christie, Marietjie Du Plessis, Lisa-Marie Kopp and Karen Wilson.

In Women’s Masters soccer action on May 8 in Vernon, Salmon Arm’s Ted United took on Chick Kickers in a fast-paced match. The final score was 3 – 0 for Ted United due in part to great saves by keepers Cathy Bartsch and Shelinda Morin who shared the duties for Salmon Arm. Ted’s scoring started with a well-timed run into the six-yard box by Sue Doray to put away the cross by Tess Deziel. The second goal was also scored by Sue Doray from a ‘downtown’ shot. Kyla Sherman scored in the second half on a breakaway, showing great composure in finishing the shot. Ted United is hosting in Salmon Arm the following three games.

All tied up After a hard-fought game at home Sunday against Kamloops, the U-18 boys Shuswap Select team ended in a 2-2 tie. Dan Schager scored the team’s two goals. The boys play at home on May 27.

Good defence: Salmon Arm player Andrew Cowell blocks a shot by Vernon’s Noah Schneider during a Shuswap Youth Soccer Boys U12 Development game played Sunday during a jamboree at the SASCU Sports Fields at Little Mountain. the setting for a Mother’s Day soccer game for the U14 girls Shuswap Selects. This was game two between Kelowna and Shuswap. Shuswap’s starting goalie was out with a back injury, so she was replaced by the back-up goalie, her first game in net this season,

and against a good team too. Kelowna dominated possession during the match, giving Shuswap’s back line lots of work. At one point, Shuswap got a nice breakaway and a nice goal, but unfortunately it was waved off as offside.

During the second half, Shuswap gained momentum, but Kelowna kept up the pressure. Shuswap got a few nice chances, but it wasn’t enough. Kelowna got three more goals in the second, to Shuswap’s disappointment. The final score: 7-0 for Kelowna.

Participants can also mail their entries to Hub Project, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, Box 21, Salmon Arm, B.C. V1E 4N9, or stop by the office and drop it off. Date your entry with the festival year in which it occurred and don’t forget to include your name and contact information. “Like the old folk story Stone Soup, where the villagers come together in the spirit of sharing, the more people who bring something to this year’s memory pot, the richer the story becomes...” Crocker says. And the out-and-about adventures begun last year will be offered again this year. Routes and Blues will roll out Aug. 9 to 16, giving fans the option of choosing an adventure in one of many beautiful Shuswap locations. The first six days of the program include route-specific daily itineraries comprised of

a series of interesting hikes, a broad variety of side activities, and a delicious local meal. Cap this with a Roots and Blues satellite concert, which will introduce travellers and locals alike to the wonderful elements of the Shuswap lifestyle. Block these days in your agenda: Thursday, Aug. 9 – Kingfisher, Sunday, Aug. 12 – Blind Bay, Friday, Aug. 10 – Mara, Monday, Aug. 13 – Squilax, Saturday, Aug. 11 – Seymour Arm, Tuesday, Aug. 14 –Malakwa, Wednesday, Aug. 15 – Salmon Arm Wednesday On the Wharf.

nticipation is heating up for this year’s Roots and Blues Festival – the 20th anniversary of an event that draws performers and fans from around the world. The Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival began in 1992 as a small indoor festival, the result of the Shuswap Coffeehouse movement of the 1970s and ‘80s. From these roots grew the not-forprofit Salmon Arm Folk Music Society and an event that has something for everyone. As they share their best memories, the society board wants to know what moved festivalgoers the most. Where were you in ‘92, the year of the first Roots and Blues? Did you join the conga line at Gleneden Hall? What about the first outdoor Roots and Blues? Maybe you remember the year ash fell from the sky, resembling snow as it gently descended around the spotlights. Maybe you have fond memories of cooling off in the sprinklers on a torrid day made hotter by the music. Did you experience last year’s summer of love vibe? Do you still wax poetical about your favourite festival performance? Did you meet the love of your life at the festival? Whatever you remember – be it happy, sad, beautiful, funny and more, festival organizers would like to hear from you. Roots and Blues is collecting festival anecdotes, memories, images and memorabilia to be used in a series of memory projects this summer. “Nobody’s story is insignificant,” says marketing manager Scott Crocker. “Tell us your happy, sad, funny, beautiful, thrilling story.” Sharing your memories, videos and pictures could win you a pair of tickets to the festival. Participants names will go into a draw with the winners being chosen July 27. Enter by posting your story or up-

We aim for a balance of genres to present to the entire community.” Some local musicians complained to the Observer about the lack of local talent on the slate, but none were willing to speak publicly for fear of jeopardizing future gigs.

plicant bands, their genres and their available dates week by week, choosing what they consider to be the best band for this outdoor venue. “The Arts Council is using public money to present this program, and therefore has to follow due process,” writes Metivier. “We acknowledge the talent in our community but can’t force bands to apply. Nor do we recruit. Nor are local bands entitled merely because they are local.” Metivier points out some local musicians have declined to apply to WOW over these past two or three years because the rate of pay is not at the same level as other festivals or venues. As well, she points out, decisions have sometimes been made based on previous performances at WOW, in

terms of quality of music, suitability for outdoor venue and consistency with that certain “summer vibe.” As local bands have grown and changed over the years, so has the WOW program. Metivier says the change has been essential for two reasons: to keep this long running program fresh and relevant, and to respond to shifts in funding support by making WOW more self-sustaining. “People still come out and support WOW because they know that every year there’ll be a high-quality mix of new and familiar bands,” she writes. “Musicians know that the series is professionally run, fun to play, provides a good-sized and appreciative audience, and offers reasonable compensation (we are always trying to increase our performer fees).”

Built in 1907 for the Arrow Lakes Lumber Company, the CR Lamb took supplies to the far reaches of the Shuswap.

Constructed prior to road travel, the sternwheeler was fueled by cordwood cut by early settlers. When the CR Lamb had reached the end of her life serving Shuswap communities, Louie purchased the boat from the Shuswap Transportation Company and worked the waterways for the next 25 years. The new amphitheatre will be christened July 1 with the first dinner theatre performance of the season.

LEE, VIOLA VERONICA (nee Behan) September 21, 1913 - May 6, 2012 Viola died at Hillside Village in her 99th year. She was predeceased by her husband Donald Kenneth Lee and an infant, Gloria Dawn, as well as all her 9 siblings. Born near the Ottawa River in Quyon, Quebec, Viola was the 7th child of descendants of large Irish immigrant families. Her father transported the family across Canada in search of work, after the death of her Mother, in childbirth. The remote Desolation Sound area became her playground where logging employed her Father and many of her siblings and their offspring over the following years. Her family name (Behan) is still widely known in Powell River where her late brothers and sisters raised their families. She is survived by many nieces and nephews in Powell River as well as her special friend and niece, Pat Materi of Vancouver. Viola moved to Salmon Arm in the mid 70’s and prided herself on being a hard-working, independent lady. She attended daily Mass as she was able and enjoyed preparing family dinners, gardening, knitting, and planning her next Halloween costume to amuse the family. Her devotion and love to her entire family and those who knew her will be her legacy. Left with many fond memories of her fun and laughter are son and wife, Ron and Catherine Lee, Armstrong, BC, daughter(s) and husband(s), Phyllis and Andre Bouchard, Pembroke, Ontario, and Cynde and Robin Russell, Tappen, BC. She will also be fondly remembered as “GG” to her nine grandchildren and their children. The staff at Hillside Village, Cottage # 6, gave Viola extraordinary care these past 4 years, as did her long time family physician, Dr. Cindy Malinowski. Viola’s family appreciate all the love and care she has received at Hillside, the many volunteer hours from the Shuswap Hospice Program and the weekly visits from the ladies of St. Joseph’s CWL, Salmon Arm. Cremation to follow with arrangements being handled by Fischer’s Funeral Services. A Mass to honor Viola will be held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Salmon Arm, Friday, May 18, 2012 at 11 am.

PHILLIP L. DARBYSHIRE Aug. 21, 1938 - May 4, 2012 Phillip L. Darbyshire, 73, passed away May 4 with his loving wife, Marlene, at his side, at Mariposa Gardens in Osoyoos. Phillip was born Aug. 21, 1938, in Ridgedale, SK to parents Edgar and Nina Rose.

He is survived by wife Marlene and twin sister Phyllis, as well as sisters Bernice and Betty, sons Ralf and Peter, grandchildren Ryan and Amanda, great-grandchildren Alden and Owen, and numerous nephews and nieces.

CLARA OVEREND (SPALL) I have lost my wife Clara of 63 years, and it hurts more than anything I can remember feeling. The mother of Alan (Shirley) and Bill (Patti Dibski) of Calgary, of Laura LeGood (Armin Semler) of Abbotsford and of Tom (Leslie Post) of London, Ontario, died of dementia in Salmon Arm, B.C. on May 7, 2012. Our family circle includes 10 grandchildren: Chris and Andrew; Sam and Alex; Jennifer, Joanna, Katrina and Emma; Hailey and Greg; and one great granddaughter: Hannah. Clara Johanna Spall was born in Kelowna on March 13, 1926, the daughter of James and Johanna Spall (nee Knippel). She went to school there and at UBC for a year and at the University of Toronto after the war where she was studying occupational therapy and I was attending library school. In 1948 we married in Kelowna, B.C. Clara worked as a therapist at the Royal Jubilee hospital in Victoria, at the Tranquille sanatorium on Kamloops Lake and, later, at the prison in Abbotsford-Matsqui. Wherever we lived she raised our young family very well; they went on to live their own lives with satisfaction and honour. She was accomplished not only in her career and as a mother but as a student – she made the Dean’s list at Fraser Valley College in Abbotsford – and as a woodworker and gardener. Clara was an engaging, outgoing person who has left us with a lifetime of memories. Whither I would go, Clara would go. We lived in Abbotsford, in London, in Cranbrook, and then in Dawson Creek for 14 years where Clara worked as a weather observer at the airport and became intensely interested in speed skating when our four children joined the local speed skating club. She became its coach, formed a club in Fort St. John and began rising through administrative ranks in provincial and national speed skating, serving as president of the national body from 1977 to 1981. In this capacity she represented her sport at the winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria in 1976, at Lake Placid, NY in 1980, and at world and international events in Milan, Los Angeles, Montreal and Quebec City. Clara formed clubs in Mission, Abbotsford, Matsqui, Sardis and Surrey, and in Whitehorse and Haines Junction when we lived in the Yukon. She is a member of the speed skating Hall of Fame. Clara’s wide circle of family including her surviving sibling, Beth Weick of Penticton, mourn her passing as do our immediate family and friends. We know how much we have lost. We humbly tender our thanks to the very helpful and understanding staff at Bastion Place and to doctors McCallum, Gow, Goldberg and Connor. Cremation has taken place. The family will enjoy the company of Clara’s friends in the common room at McIntosh Grove on May 10, and in Kelowna later in August. Instead of ﬂowers, please consider donating to either the Canadian Cancer Society or the Terry Fox Foundation. Clara survived cancer in 1996. Rest in peace, Clara. You have done well and we are proud of you. We love you. Howard Overend, May 9, 2012. Online condolences can be sent through Clara’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

Nutrition doubly important during pregnancy HEALTHY BITES

Serena Caner When I ask women when they first started gaining weight, the answer is almost always, “When I had my kids.” Balancing healthy eating with hormonal upheaval and dramatic body changes can be very challenging. There are unexplained urges for late-night Haagen Daz or McDonald’s French fries. People encouraging, “you are eating for two, you can get away with it!” Many women believe that pregnancy is the time when they can eat whatever they want; however, it is actually the worst time to pig out on unhealthy foods. During pregnancy, women’s bodies make a lot of hormones that work against the action of insulin, the hormone needed to use sugar from food. This can result in gestational diabetes. High blood sugars during pregnancy can cause excess growth in the baby (it responds by releasing lots of insulin, which can cause excess fat deposition and large birth weight of your baby). It can also increase risk of complications during pregnancy and birth. Furthermore, research suggests that both overand under-nutrition in utero may increase the risk of insulin resistance, obesity and diabetes later in life for your child – not to mention the difficulty of losing excess weight gain once you have a baby and young children. So what do pregnant women need? Be sensitive to hunger cues. Pregnant women only need about 350-450 extra calories during the second and third trimesters. This is equivalent to a piece of toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk, not a DQ blizzard. Stay as active as possible during your pregnancy – low-impact

activities like walking and swimming are usu-

ally most comfortable. Choose nutrient-rich foods, not snack foods. Of special concern are folate, calcium, iron and zinc. Examples are: Folate: Beans, spin-

ach, orange and green fruits and vegetables, enriched flour products, nuts. Women should also take a 400mcg supplement. Iron: animal meats, lentils/legumes, tofu,

enriched breakfast cereals, nuts and seeds – best absorbed when consumed with vitamin C source (fruits, vegetables) Zinc: in most highprotein foods (meat,

fish, poultry, beans, legumes, nuts). Calcium: milk, milk products, enriched milk alternatives (like soy and almond milk) tofu, dark green leafy vegetables, canned salmon,

almonds. And finally… enjoy your sleep, if you can. - Serena Caner is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.
