Safety notice issued for railway crossing By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

City staff are proposing a review of the Marine Park Drive railway crossing by a professional traffic engineer in response to safety concerns raised by Transport Canada. The City of Salmon Arm received a letter of notice from Dennis Maskell, a railway safety inspector with Transport Canada. In it, Maskell raises concerns in relation to the crossing that he says has created conditions that could “reasonably be expected to develop into a situation in which a person could be injured or damage could be caused to the environment or property.” Maskell’s concerns stem from an inspection conducted on March 22. On that day, he witnessed vehicles stopping on the tracks waiting to proceed onto Lakeshore Drive. He notes Salmon Arm’s own traffic information for 2011 shows this intersection sees a “very large volume” of traffic in the summer months.

“For the above-cited location there is the ever-present possibility of a vehicle being hit by one or more trains while trying to engage this T-intersection without the right of way,” writes Maskell. He says that as people in vehicles with trailers wait for a break in traffic, they can lose awareness that while their cab may be across the rails, their trailer is still sitting on two high-volume tracks. In a written response to Maskell, city engineering and public works director Rob Niewenheuzen concurs that the crossing does experience high road traffic volumes in the summer months. He proposes to have the problem reviewed by an engineer to determine a suitable solution, noting that this review and any recommendations for improvement would require the proper approvals to ensure funding is available for completion of any new work. At Monday’s regular meeting, city council supported the idea of obtaining an traffic engineer’s report before proceeding further.

Pip ‘too weak to survive’ By Tracy Hughes BLACK PRESS

Despite receiving aroundthe-clock care by staff at the BC SPCA’s Shuswap Branch, Pip, the five-weekold kitten found inside a plastic trash bag on May 23 in Salmon Arm, died on May 27. The tiny kitten, whose immune system was likely compromised by being taken from his mother too early, was rushed to a veterinarian for intravenous fluids but could not be saved. “He was being bottle fed but just wasn’t able to process the nutrients in his body and he eventually became too weak to survive,” said Lorie Chortyk, general

SPCA seeks tips about identity of perpetrator Continued from front inside a plastic trash bag on May 23 at the community mailboxes on Black Road near Highway 97B. The two full garbage bags were found dumped at the Black Road mailboxes in the morning. A woman who came to check her mail heard the kitten crying frantically and opened the bag to find him inside the garbage. The woman recognized immediately that the kitten had an

injured front right paw and was in distress, so she rushed it to the Shuswap SPCA for care. Kelsey McKnight, an SPCA staff member, searched through the trash to see if they could find any clues about who might have dumped the garbage, but found nothing.

Unsightly alga spreads to Shuswap By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

By any name, it’s an ugly mystery that has made its way to the Shuswap. Didymossphenai geminate, which is commonly known as didymo or rock snot, a freshwater algae has been found at the Adams River at a loading area for rafting and fishing. This algae has been spreading around the world over the past two decades, causing huge problems in countries like New Zealand where it is several inches thick in the shallows of some lakes and rivers on South Island, says Brian Heise, chair of the Department of Natural Resource Sciences and associate professor of limnology and fisheries at Thompson Rivers University. “When it’s in large clumpy masses, it looks like toilet paper,” says Heise, noting rock snot is more unsightly than

anything else. “It is not poisonous and it doesn’t really have a scent.” Heise says one idea some scientists hold is that didymo is native to B.C., originating on Vancouver Island, and other northern hemisphere countries like Norway, and has been around for hundreds of years. Heise has sampled didymo on Crowsnest River, a tributary of the Oldman River in Southern Alberta and popular with flyfishers. One theory for the spread of the hardy algae is that it travelled the world on the feltbottomed hip waders worn by some flyfishers – members of the high-end fishing community with a passion for fishing and enough cash to take them to all the prime spots. Heise says world didymo expert Dr. Max Bothwell, a freshwater ecologist at Nanaimo’s Pacific Biological Station, once believed didymo was invasive

but now thinks its presence is based on changes in nutrient levels. “In other words, we don’t really know,” Heise says. “We thought we did, but we don’t.” While most algae thrives in high-nutrient areas, didymo works backwards, he says. “It thrives in lownutrient areas, it’s a very unusual plant that doesn’t work like most others,” he says. “It’s a bit of an enigma, it’s a strange.” Research into didymo continues, says Heise, noting he has a particular interest in how it affects insects. “The message we’re trying to get out is people should just be careful – boats and fishing gear can carry other invasive species,” he says calling for thorough cleaning of equipment before moving to another lake or river. He warns that whirling disease, a parasite that will kill trout, may not be in B.C. yet, but it’s in Idaho “so it’s not

But there is no pleasure for Heise in the fact the province is not tough on importers of animals. “There’s no law that says you can’t bring in

live fish,” he says, pointing out a 15-cm perch caught in Adams Lake a few years ago had 12 fish in its stomach. “If perch or bass get into Shuswap Lake, they will hammer the salmon.” For more information on invasive species, visit www.bcinvasives.ca.

RCMP interrupt drug purchases By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Keen eyesight led to more drug arrests by Salmon Arm RCMP last week. At 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 23, officers spotted a known drug dealer driving through the downtown core. Police followed the vehicle and report seeing a hand-off drug deal taking place on Hudson Avenue. Officers then took chase on foot, arrested those involved and seized a large quantity of currency and a baggie of methamphetamine. The driver of the vehicle is being charged with drug trafficking and the passenger, with an outstanding warrant for arrest, was held in custody, Some 31 hours later,

at 9:12 p.m. Thursday, May 24, police arrested another individual they had become aware of as a newcomer and dealer in crack cocaine. An officer spotted the man dealing from his vehicle, which was parked near Wendy’s Restaurant. When approached, the man fled on foot but was chased and apprehended. RCMP seized crack cocaine, currency and cell phones. “The cells continued to receive several texts from potential buyers of cocaine,” says Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane. “Police met with these people in different locations in Salmon Arm and warned them about purchasing drugs.” And while there have always been plenty of dealers willing to take over when one is taken

off the streets, the word seems to be getting out. “We have heard from users it’s harder to get drugs in this town and there’s less appetite for people (dealers) to move into town.” Not everyone is deterred, however. The driver involved in the May 23 incident informed police he intends to continue to

sell drugs in the city. “The problem we have is that when somebody’s caught in possession, they still have a court process to go through and it takes so much time, they’re right back out dealing to feed their habit,” he says, noting the dealers know the legal system well and how far they can push. “It’s very difficult

to put people in jail for a crime that hasn’t been proven, even though they’re caught red-handed. We’re the investigators, not the finders of fact.” Anyone with information about these files or any other information that may help police, is asked to contact the Salmon Arm detachment or Crime Stoppers.

Canoe residents back RV strata park plan By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

On Monday, Canoe residents treated Salmon Arm council to an evening of warm hospitality and civil discussion. The occasion was a public hearing relating to the phased construction of a year-round recreational vehicle strata park proposed for Canoe’s Club Shuswap Golf & RV. To accommodate the development, amendments to zoning and the official community plan were required. City staff is supportive of an RV park, though development services director Corey Paiement said staff couldn’t support the year-round occupation with residences not approved by the BC Building Code. Council then gave developers Tony and Derek Barnard 40 minutes to explain their vision, as well as an opportu-

said city staff’s reluctance stemmed from the fact that the Barnards are “pioneers,” doing something that hasn’t been done before in the community. Council also received letters of support from the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Society, Community Futures, and numerous others. While there was no opposition to the development, concerns were aired about increased traffic at an emergency access point on 65th Avenue NE, and to drainage/slippage that, in the past, resulted in at least one neighbour’s basement flooding. Council, however, was satisfied the concerns were being addressed, and voted in support of third reading. Coun. Chad Eliason stood opposed, saying the city would benefit more from a greater mix of residential options, including “stick built.”

nity to speak to staff’s concerns. Tony emphasized the theme of the Shuswap being an all-season playground, with a need for a year-round base for RVers and those who like to come and go as they please. He noted that RVs, park models and motorhomes require Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approval, which he says addresses the same safety concerns as the building code. Following the Barnards’ presentation, the floor opened to what was, by and large, a flood of support from Canoe and Salmon Arm residents. Graham Threlkeld championed the quality and commitment residents could expect from the Barnards while warning Salmon Arm, poised to lose its large department store, can’t afford to turn down such an opportunity.

Wednesday, May 30, 2012 Salmon Arm Observer

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Fun should come ﬁrst One of the joys about writing on the opinion page is the ability to disagree. The ability to see another’s point of view and to evaluate their arguments are critical thinking skills essential in a democratic society. I respect and am interested in viewpoints that may differ from my own. But sometimes I also feel compelled to respond. An editorial currently making the rounds of some Black Press papers (of which the Salmon Arm Observer is one) set me a bit on edge. Newspapers in our chain regularly trade editorials both for reasons of time (there’s never enough of that), space (can’t leave a big blank hole on the page) but also to give our readers a variety of opinions on issues affecting British Columbia. This piece is about a move by Canada’s 56 national sport bodies wanting to downplay the competition aspect of various youth sports, and focus on “fun and skills rather than winning.” A portion of the editorial reads, “The greatest part of sports is competition, trying your best to win. Not at all costs — that’s why sports have rules. But why bother playing if you’re not trying to win?” As the parent of young children, my answer is this — simply to enjoy playing. Now I agree with part of the editorial’s premise, which is that failure is a way to learn and that coping with failure and learning to push past adversity is an important life skill. My point is about how competition is introduced. The editorial makes it sound like these sports organizations are seeking to remove the competitive aspect of sport altogether. Far from it. The editorial states: “For example, in Ontario they want to change soccer tournaments for players younger than eight to festivals, in which no standings would be kept, no MVPs selected, no winners and losers.” What is lost, are the words, for players younger than eight. In my mind, what they are looking towards is building competition gradually as children grow and mature. But for young children, I believe focusing on fun and learning basic skills is a better option. Children who are having fun at a physical activity are going to continue with it. And little kids learn quickly that losing isn’t fun. I believe it is more important for young children to have fun and learn to enjoy physical activity than to win, especially in a time when obesity is becoming an increasing problem. I, as one parent, appreciate that Salmon Arm sports organizations like Shuswap Youth Soccer, have this philosophy. My three-year-olds don’t play “win-lose” games yet. My six-yearold does, but rules are in place to ensure the games focus on skills, rather than running up the score on another team. Not every child is going to be a top competitive athlete, but playing a recreational sport can turn into a healthy habit for a lifetime. To me, it is better to let our children grow into the world of competition, rather than thrusting it upon them from the first minute they put on a jersey.

SALMON ARM OBSERVER

Editorial

Making the most of marketing The release of Canada’s 2011 Census data had some interesting tidbits for Salmon Arm and trends which this community should be paying attention to as we look toward economic development for our city. Of course the most prominent is the number of seniors that live here. While the B.C. average for people over the age of 65 is 15 per cent, Salmon Arm’s is a whopping 24 per cent. This, once again, backs up previous economic studies which note the retirement draw is a bigger boost to the city’s economic engine than tourism. The implications of our seniors to business, government and the healthcare sector will continue to be significant. Interestingly, Salmon Arm is bucking the statistics of many other B.C. communities and has

shown an increase in the number of children. Canada-wide there has been a resurgence in the number of toddlers, reversing a decade-long downward trend in the under-five population. This bodes well for Salmon Arm’s future, as declining school district enrolment has created its own economic ripple through the area. It appears Salmon Arm is attracting and retaining some of the young families it needs to remain vibrant. On another note, Salmon Arm is also ranked among the cities with less than 100,000 populations that have the greatest percentage of women at 52.8 per cent. So when we’re marketing our industries we know what areas to target — the old, the young and, possibly, single men looking for female companionship?

Scenes from the trenches Media should step of B.C. farm operations up scrutiny of Dix BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – With ongoing pipeline and oil tanker skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slowing down. Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley, where the federal government’s change to the definition of fish habitat has opened a new front on the farms. Farmers briefly got into the public discussion by hauling a couple of cute calves into downtown Vancouver and staging a televisionfriendly demo in front of the federal fisheries office. They have been saying for decades that imposing salmon stream regulations on drainage ditches around their fields is impractical. Fraser Valley Conservative MPs Randy Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their concerns about B.C.’s most productive farmland, without inviting self-appointed “activists.” Arrayed against them is an environmental lobby whose deep green wing was defined by Marvin Rosenau, a former provincial biologist who now teaches “fish, wildlife and recreation technology” at BCIT. “Mark Strahl is leading the charge of ecofascists intent on making the last dime off the backs of the last remnants of an absolutely spectacular ecosystem,” Rosenau told the “Chilliwack Progress.” “A massive and productive floodplain of fish and aquatic values … has been drained, ditched, tiled and laserleveled for agricultural profit.” The same could be said for the broad fields of Richmond and Pitt Polder farms north of the Fraser, a wetland diked and drained by Dutch settlers after World War II. Farms are “industrializing the landscape,” said Rosenau, who stopped short of calling for them all to be shut down. At the provincial level we have a new Animal Health Act, which threatens heavy fines or even jail time for prematurely leaking reports of serious animal disease outbreaks. This was

also portrayed as a jack-booted sellout of the public’s right to know, putting the business interests of land and ocean farms ahead of public safety. Here’s what’s really happening. As is generally the case with meat inspection and livestock issues, the federal government is imposing rules on provinces in the wake of avian flu and “mad cow” outbreaks. Canadian beef was banned in 30 countries after a single infected cow was identified in Alberta in 2003. B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae assures me this legislation will not result in reporters or environmental activists being thrown in jail for telling the public about sick animals. They and the farmers themselves can say all they want, once infections are confirmed and quarantines established. McRae and Paul Kitching, B.C.’s chief veterinarian, pleaded for the public to understand that any farm reporting system must rely on voluntary compliance by farmers. When the B.C. government took the advice of B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fish farm inspection data in 2010, the operators stopped providing samples voluntarily. The fish farmers’ position was that you can have a co-operative system of farm inspections or one that’s imposed, but not both. Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to find a possible mad cow should have “shot, shoveled and shut up” rather than file a report and devastate the industry. Denham, the NDP and others appear to operate under an assumption that there should be sufficient government resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for reportable contagious illnesses. This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangers to guard every cedar tree. - Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The media and pollsters seem to have made up their minds that NDP leader Adrian Dix is going to be B.C.’s next premier come May of next year. Of course, the media and pollsters also made up their minds that the Wild Rose Party in Alberta was going to sweep to victory last month, and they were wildly wrong on that one. Some would even say colossally wrong. But if the B.C. me-

dia truly do believe that Adrian Dix will be our next premier, then don’t they have a duty to subject Dix to some sort of scrutiny? That’s their job, isn’t it? So far, Adrian Dix has been given a free ride by the media (and at least one free ride by Translink). And despite the fact that Mr. Dix has been a 20-year NDP political operative, I sincerely doubt there is one person out of a thousand

in this province who actually knows anything about him. As Adrian Dix’s 20year political record clearly shows, he is anything but a political moderate. I would therefore challenge the B.C. media to start acting responsibly by doing their job and subjecting NDP leader Adrian Dix to some long overdue media scrutiny.

McGuire Lake turtles’ fate echoes predictions Kalene Bourque’s letter to the editor mentions my name, so I would like to respond by saying that May 23 was World Turtle Day, started to increase knowledge about human action to help turtles survive and thrive. The sad fact is 28,000 turtles a year are killed due to fishing. Turtles are 200 million years old, yet experts predict their extinction in the next 50 years. Who am I to think it would be any different for McGuire Lake’s turtles? In print, two prominent anglers admitted to seeing them harmed and

continue to promote this program, so World Turtle Day is a great thing. Kalene Bourque and many others in this province believe the same as her, that fish and wildlife should be sacrificed for our pleasure called sport. For example, there are 38,000 members of the BC Wildlife Federation and 350 members of the local fish and game club and this is the same in every community. The Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation derives income off hunting and fishing licences, but their mission is to preserve wildlife and its habitat. Nobody makes

any money off of wildlife viewing or shooting animals with cameras. I don’t have any powerful lobby groups to uphold my rights, so I believe my vigorous fight to help the turtles was a lofty attempt. It is an illegal act to harm a “blue listed” painted turtle, but it seems the Wildlife Act is only as good as the paper it is written on. I think to make it fair all the sports organizations in this community should have this kind of money invested in them as well.

1919

Five cars of German prisoners arrived at Sicamous from Vernon for shipment east prior to deportation.

Relay for Life steps out Saturday

1929

A large crowd was on hand for the official opening of the Farmer’s Institute park at Ross Creek. G.L. Wooding and Rex Lingford announced a federal inspector was coming here to investigate the Salmon Arm Radio Club’s complaints of interference.

1939

More then 3,000 local residents, waiting at the station, were disappointed when the royal train failed to stop or even slow down. Particularly disappointed was Mrs. T. Bennetts of Lakeshore Road who, as a childhood playmate of the queen, had received a letter from the latter stating she was looking forward to meeting again when the train arrived here. General feeling was expressed by local officials that the royal party had not been informed of Salmon Arm’s location or the welcome planned here.

1949

Speaking at a dinner in the drill hall here this week national Progressive Conservative leader George Drew blasted his opposition parties and called for a realistic dollar to restore lost trade. The gates were officially opened on Salmon Arm’s new domestic water supply East Canoe Creek– “ensuring an adequate supply of water for many years to come.”

1959

Shuswap Consumers’ Co-operative Association completed negotiations to take over all departments, properties and assets from the Salmon Arm Farmer’s Exchange. The exchange had been operating for more then 30 years. Co-op general manager Walter Derkaz announced it was planning to continue all services. Village council was studying the possibility of installing parking meters as an answer to downtown parking shortages.

Cancer never sleeps, and neither will the 325 walkers who will give up a night’s rest to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. But Relay For Life goes far beyond raising funds for research and patient support. The annual relay gives participants an opportunity to honour family and friends who are battling the disease, celebrate with survivors and pay tribute to those whose lives cancer has claimed. This year, the 12-hour Relay For Life rocks out on a new path – on the beautiful grounds of Haney Heritage Village – at 7 p.m. Saturday June 2, with a victory lap led by bagpipers. On hand will be honorary chair Brenda Kurtz, the woman who was responsible for bringing the event to Salmon Arm 10 years ago. Victory lap walkers include survivors and their caregivers, who are greeted by enthusiastic applause in an event that spawns many emotional moments. “All the other teams will fold in and we will acknowledge teams that have been involved for the 10 years,” says Jen Dies, co-ordinator of community giving for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Southern Interior, who notes this year’s theme is “Let’s rock it” and the team lap will appropriately feature Queen’s We Will Rock You. At 7:45 all relayers will be invited to take part in a group “cha-cha dance slide” and Kelly and Blu Hopkins will get the live entertainment going at 8:15, followed through the night by City of Sparks, DOS, Lead Painted Toys and Lazy Ninja DJ Alex. The always-touching luminary ceremony takes place at 9:30, led, for the second year, by bagpipers. Another innovation introduced last year will continue, with everyone asked to bring

And what a success it has been. Not only has Salmon Arm traditionally raised more than larger centres such as Vernon and Kelowna, last year, this community was the highest fundraising community in the entire Southern Interior, bringing in a whopping $165,000 plus. Over the 10-year history of the relay, this generous community has raised more than $1.3 million, money that goes to the cancer society, but comes back to Salmon Arm when needed. “So Salmon Arm, we should be proud of all we do,” says Dies, noting the local unit is run by “wonderful, dedicated volunteers.” “If our community raised $100,000 and it stayed in the community, wouldn’t it be a

shame if we needed $400,000 and we only had $100,000 in the pot,” she says. Local services include a lending library, women’s support group, and wigs and breast prostheses for patients dealing with the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatments. The Emergency Aid Program provides financial assistance to cancer patients to help with accommodation, travel, and symptom control medication expenses while undergoing cancer treatment. One-to-one peer support is available, as are accommodations in Kelowna and Vancouver and rides to treatments. Back on the relay track, Dies says organizers are thrilled to be moving the event to Haney Heritage Village. Relay participants will walk through the village, cross the bridge, past the fire station and circle back along the northern tree line, coming out in front of the main office. Dies, who has organized the Salmon Arm event for four years as paid co-ordinator and volunteered two years previously, now looks after Vernon, Revelstoke and Merritt as well. She says there is still time for people to buy a luminary, donate to the relay, volunteer and register themselves or a team. “We’re always looking for volunteers,” she says. “Set-up is huge and we start setting up the stage, tents, lights and marking campsites Wednesday and Thursday. Anyone who wants to help in any way should phone 250-833-6831.

Cummins targets land claims By Cavelle Layes

to use fishing to fund Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Cummins is opposed to this idea, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;fish have always been the property of the people, not the Crown.â&#x20AC;? Cummins maintains this change will not only allow First Nations to fish for food, social and ceremonial purposes, which they are already authorized to do, but also to â&#x20AC;&#x153;earn a moderate living.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where does it stop? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cummins worries First Nations bands will over-fish, making it impossible for others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where is the room for everyone else?â&#x20AC;? asked Cummins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any.â&#x20AC;?

British Columbia Conservative leader John Cummins came to Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holiday Inn May 24 to share his views on where British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future should head. One of these views involved issues surrounding First Nations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aboriginal rights have to be dealt with and have to be dealt with firmly,â&#x20AC;? he told the audience of approximately 20 people. Cummins explained how he has sent a letter to Prime Minister Steven Harper explaining his dissatisfaction with Bill C-38.

Cummins also wants to do away with the B.C. treaty process. He says the powers that be should stop acting like aboriginal peoples really hold any titles, and move ahead on projects without consulting them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should all just be people of Canada,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should all have equal rights.â&#x20AC;?

Barrel racers all set to turn ‘n’ burn organizer Bartko and other volunteers for helping create the huge event. Bartko and Prentice first thought they’d host a smaller, one-day competition. “It kind of snowballed,” laughs Prentice, who began barrel racing at a young age. “Then it was, ‘How big can we make it?’” For Prentice, the idea of hosting a barrel race in a central location was an obvious one. And, the local rider would like to see the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds used more for horse events. “Salmon Arm is kind of Sleepy Hollow for events at the fairgrounds,” she chuckled. “This is a great way to show everyone the area and the grounds, and have them used more.” Admission is free for spectators and there will be concessions and booths on-site. “My hope for this event is that it inspires more people to become involved in the sport.” Prentice would also like barrel racers from around the province to see what Salmon Arm has to offer. “The

By Tammy Thielman OBSERVER CONTRIBUTOR

About 150 barrel racers will gather this weekend, June 2 and 3, at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds for the first Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza. Competitors from all over B.C. will be racing for more than $7,000 in prize money. Organizer Chantelle Prentice, herself a Shuswap barrel racer, is excited to bring the event to Salmon Arm, along with coorganizer Lyndsay Bartko, another barrel racing competitor from Salmon Arm. The event draws on the large membership of the popular BC Barrel Racing Association (BCBRA). Competitors from PeeWee to Senior 50plus, as well as the highly-competitive Open division, will race for day money, sponsored prizes and thousands in additional prize money raised from entry fees. The event is BCBRA and Canadian Barrel Racing (CBR) approved. For Prentice, who, like many competitive barrel racers, travels long miles to compete for points to qualify for the BCBRA finals in August, this race fills a need. “There aren’t any big money races in our area. This race fills a void. Salmon Arm is a meet-in-the-middle kind of area. It’s a way to have another race for points that’s close to home.” Most barrel racers in B.C., said Prentice, live in the Interior and southern B.C. The sport is popular, adds the race organizer, noting that the BCBRA has about 450 members. Members must attend six races to qualify for the finals. Many racers are also trying to earn CBR points and some travel to the coast and northern B.C. to earn them. “If it wasn’t for races like this, I’d be hauling to Williams Lake to qualify for the finals,” said Prentice, who credits fellow

economic impact of this is going to be great. This’ll be really good for the SalmonArm Fairgrounds. The fairgrounds committee will see that an event like this can be successful.” To learn more about the event, look up Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza on Facebook or call Prentice at 250309-1770.

Big Shuswap soccer weekend The Shuswap U11 Girls development team travelled to Kamloops on Sunday, May 27 to play two strong teams. In their first game, against Vernon, the Shuswap girls came out strong. Their efforts were rewarded 10 minutes into the game when Emma Kirkman scored the first goal, with the assist going to Paige Saitz. Soon after, Courteney Bacon scored an unassisted goal for Shuswap. Vernon managed to get one goal in the second half but it wasn’t enough. Shuswap won 2-1. In their second game Shuswap faced a strong Kelowna team. Shuswap continued to work hard, resulting in a scoreless tie. Both of Shuswap’s games had solid goaltending by Jessie Ellerbeck-Hanna and Hannah Tarzwell. The Shuswap girls play next in Salmon Arm on Sunday, June 3.

Blaze beaten On Saturday the U14 boys defeated Kamloops Blaze 2-0 for their first win of the season. The Shuswap boys played a solid game with goals being scored by Keenan Starkell and Josh Kujat. Keeper Nick Ough showed his skills and earned a shutout for the team. Joey Guerra’s solid defence earned him player of the game. The Shuswap boys displayed good technical skills and great teamwork and more than

earned their victory against the Kamloops team.

Tight contests It was the second game of the season Saturday for the U14 Shuswap girls versus the Kamloops Blaze Blue, with the previous game ending in a scoreless tie. After much back and forth, Kamloops got a break along the wing, and flew to the net with the ball. With a high shot in the far right corner of the net, the first goal of the game was scored. Unfortunately for Shuswap, it was also the last. On Sunday, Shuswap played host to the Penticton Pinnacles. With the two team’s last game ending in a 2 – 1 win for Penticton, off what the Selects and parents agreed to be a bad call leading to the winning goal off a penalty shot, Shuswap was looking for a win. The play was tight and, as the second half rolled around, the scoreboard was still empty, Kamloops made a nice cross in Shuswap’s end, and just barely made a shot in the bottom right corner. Kamloops attempted the same strategy, but unfortunately, a bad spin on the ball ricocheted it off a Shuswap player into the net. Two goals scored in less than two minutes. With only minutes remaining, Shuswap

Possession: In U11 Boys Development play Sunday at Little Mountain, Shuswap’s Ethan Ross jockeys for control vs. Kelowna. got a breakaway and launched a shot past the Kamloops’ goalie. There wasn’t enough time to tie it up and the game ended with the same score as the first, a 2 – 1 win for Penticton.

Selects strong In a game Sunday that featured beautiful passing and great possession from the Selects, the U16 Shuswap boys claimed a 5-0 shutout at Blackburn over Vernon United. The Selects dominated play, scoring their first two goals in the first five minutes. Although Salmon Arm defeated Vernon in their first contest early this season, Sunday’s game was in contrast to the Selects’ second meeting with Vernon, an exhibition game at Blackburn two weeks

ago that saw Vernon take a 2-1 win.

Tough team The U18 boys were first on the scoreboard in an exhibition game versus the Kamloops Blaze Sunday, but weren’t able to claim the game. After an early goal scored by Sten Korver the U-18 lost their home game by a score of 1-3.

Masters play Last Tuesday, May 22, Ted United hosted Rosters from Vernon. The under-staffed Ted United managed to get the ball to do the work and earn a 4-0 victory. Emily Styles started off the scoring early in the first half with a wellplaced, left-footed shot from the top of the 18yard box. Sue Doray

TD Waterhouse

continued her scoring ways, notching the next two goals. The score stayed at 3-0 for most of the second half thanks to some great saves by the Rosters keeper. Cathy Bartsch found the net near the end of the game to finish off the scoring. Linda Yawney made her debut in net earning a shut-out for Ted.

Spalding: Top four separated by a point. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

An event that drew more than 200 golfers from B.C., Alberta and even Ontario came to an exciting finish Sunday afternoon at the Salmon Arm Golf Club. Just one stroke separated the top four teams, with the 2012 Spalding Cup going to the Ben Proskiw/Don Dunford team from Kelowna, a duo who has never won the cup but has been on the hunt for a win for about 15 years. They tallied an overall low gross of 135. Of the 212 golfers taking part, Salmon Arm played a dominant role, leading all but one flight. Taking top spot in the championship flight with 136 were Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeremy Osborne and Chris Harrington, closely tailed at 137 by Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cody Bell and Canoe

Creek Golf Pro Jesse Crowe. In third in the championship flight with 138 were last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champs, Bill and Travis Jordan of Salmon Arm. Fifth were Dave Belway Jr. of Salmon Arm and Steve Doubinin, while Salmon Arm Secondary Grade 12 student Karson Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Keefe and SAS grad Matt Mihal took sixth spot with 141. Leading the first flight were Salmon Arm golfers Tyler and Monty Jones with 143. The second flight was also led by a Salmon Arm team: Mike Meeuwsen and Cliff McKee. Topping the third flight were Ron Carter of Salmon Arm and son Warren Carter of Vernon. In the fourth flight, Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vic Wasilenko and Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy McLeod claimed first. Leading the fifth flight were the Duggan and Sommerfeld team from Kelowna.

Musical melange: Al Spx of Cold Specks, the Black Pioneer Heritage Singers and the Kirby Sewell Band are among the performers who will appear at the festival in August.

Flavours from around the world spice Roots & Blues By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

he 20th anniversary edition of the Roots and Blues Festival is shaping up to be another affair to remember. The slate continues to expand and artistic director Hugo Rampen is now ruminating about the workshops he puts together every year – jam-sessions where performers share the stage, often without having met each other – and almost always with amazing, crowd-pleasing results. “Early on in the booking process, I was so short of female performers,” he says. “But we’re at the end of the process and I look at the quality of the female performers – it’s phenomenal, and I’m really excited about those voices and putting them together in workshops.” Back on the booking line, five more powerhouse groups have signed on recently, adding even more roots, blues and soul to an already eclectic musical menu. One of the female sounds Rampen is looking forward to hearing is that of Cold Specks songwriter and vocalist Al Spx from Etobicoke, Ont., who now lives in

London, England. The band’s name is taken from a line in James Joyce’s Ulysses: “Born all in the dark wormy earth, cold specks of fire, evil, lights shining in the darkness.” Describing her sound as “doom soul,” Cold Specks’ music is steeped in the musical traditions of the Deep South. Then there’s Cherine, known by many as the “queen of dance hall soul,” offering a mix of dancehall, reggae, soul and r&b. Her genre-defying grooves coupled with her powerful voice and thought-provoking lyrics have brought her in front of well over one million live audience fans and the numbers keeps growing. With an ever-increasing army of supporters she affectionately calls her “dancehall-SOULdiers,” she has toured Jamaica, Europe, Canada, Australia and the U.S. Two other newly signed and fabulous bands hail from Wild Rose Country next door. The Kirby Sewell Band is a high energy, soul-slinging R & B band, reaching out with modern interpretations. Known for their passionate live performances, the monster six-piece extravaganza serves up what they call alternative

blues, with melodic heart-pulling stories from the depths of an old soul, while breathing new musical life into a genre. With the same kind of long and rich tradition, but born often of pain and suffering, come the Black Pioneer Heritage Singers. Incorporating a wide variety of styles from field chants, rich spirituals, gospel standards, and rollicking call and response, these singers are blood descendants of slaves from the Deep South who helped to settle Alberta in the early 1900s. With their spirit-filled sound that is universal in its appeal yet seldom heard outside of the southern U.S., the Heritage Singers give an authentic representation of these centuries-old styles of singing along with the little-known history of the slave descendants who settled Alberta starting in 1905. The pain of bondage and the celebration of freedom are skillfully presented through tight harmonies, soaring vocals, hand rhythms and lush vocal dynamics. From the U.S. Pacific Northwest, and about to release their new CD, Brother Sinner and the Whale, Kelly Joe Phelps is returning to the Roots and Blues Stage

after a seven-year hiatus. Cut from America’s folk and blues traditions, his music is rendered thoroughly modern by his unique ability to improvise – guitar and voice alike – within what would seem an unmovable context. Phelps describes the music he writes and sings as folk/blues and explains songs are never performed exactly the same way. They are instead coloured and shaded by the nuances particular to a moment, venue, stage, evening, energy, etc. “I approach music this way to give it a chance to breathe, walk, or whisper,” he says, noting improvisation, even in small amounts, can turn a song into a conversation in real time, with all of the unexpected twists and turns that any conversation is going to have…” Since his 1994 debut album, the Pacific Northwest-based singer and songwriter has written and performed some of the most compelling slide guitar-based music ever recorded. Tickets for this 20th anniversary extravaganza are available online at www. rootsandblues.ca, at 250-833-4096 or by dropping in at the office on the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds.

Moving beyond dreams

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

There was excitement in the air at city hall when the Building Committee of Shuswap Theatre Society convened a meeting of all the major players for the creation of a new community theatre. The “players” included Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper, all the members of the city council, representatives from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), the

Downtown College Campus Committee, Okanagan College, the Salmar Community Association and the Economic Development Society. Shuswap Theatre Society Building Committee chair Jake Jacobson chaired the meeting with assistance from members of the building committee. After several years of planning and assessing 13 potential sites where a new theatre could be built, the group will now be taking a close look at the best ones.

The goal is to construct a modern multi-purpose live stage facility that will serve the needs of both Salmon Arm and the surrounding communities for many generations to come. Each member group will be discussing how they can help to achieve the goal of constructing the new facility. This meeting is viewed as a major step towards a cooperative effort to bring the dream of a new facility to fruition, says Jacobson.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District

More discussions are planned in the near future. “It was a preliminary meeting of all the groups with an interest in the theatre and they’re all looking at how to bring that dream to fruition,” he says. “We have to look at all the sites and all the options, which have been narrowed down to or three. It’s pretty much a matter of working out the details before we come out and announce where we’re gonna go.”

History sewn stitch by stitch Matching historicalstyle quilting styles to the perfect location was accomplished by setting the Di-Versity Heritage Quilt Group’s quilt show at Haney Heritage Village Saturday, June 9. The group that usually has about 12 members, has swelled to include 23 quilters from Salmon Arm, Barriere, Sorrento, Pritchard and Kamloops. This heritage group

is keenly interested in quilts of the times, women’s lifestyle and history of the times, which influenced family life and women‘s work. When the idea of having a quilt show was first discussed, Haney Heritage Village was immediately seen as the perfect setting for the reproduction heritage quilts to be displayed. The quilt show also

gave the quilters a deadline for some of the group to finish their projects. Many of the quilts that will be on display June 9, were created in the style and colouring of quilts circa 1800 to 1900. Today there are many fabrics with heritage prints, colours and styles available to make reproduction quilts. The Shuswap Needle Arts Guild will also

display needlework of reproduction samplers and old masters done in thread. The show runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is $5. Marjorie’s Tea Room will serve a special quilters pancake breakfast and lunch special. For more information call the Village at 250-832-5243 or visit their website at www. salmonarmmuseum. org.

As a traveller and later as an immigrant to Canada, artist Rosanna Marmont became enthralled by the landscape – particularly in Western Canada. “The infinite space and luminous distant horizons were allegories of yearning, of greener-grass on-the-other-side, of a search for new beginnings,” says Marmont in her artist’s statement. “The subliminal nature of empty expansive land simultaneously enticed and estranged, evoking the feeling of insignificance as well as the desire to lay claim to and create permanence.” Marmont, whose paintings and ceramic sculptures are featured in SAGA Public Art Gallery’s June exhibition “Land/Landed/

A resident of both Falkland and Montreal, Marmont says she is not interested in showing work that is just easy to look at. “I want people to think more at it,” she says. Since graduating in 2009, her study of material, technique and medium has been ongoing.

Accomplishment: First Nations students from around the school district celebrate their graduation from high school at a special ceremony held last Wednesday.

Grads mark milestone By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

Pride radiated throughout the room as 79 First Nations students from School District #83 celebrated their accomplishments at the fifth annual aboriginal graduation that took place May 23 at the Salmon Arm Secondary Sullivan Campus gymnasium. Inspiration was at a high as speeches delivered by Louis Thomas and Chief Wayne Christian encouraged students to be the changes they wished to see in the world. They described how, in just a few short years, phones have become portable, television has evolved into something more complex, and a black man has been elected U.S. president. Whether you want to be a doctor or a prime minister, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever think you cannot accomplish the things you dream of,

said Christian. The Carlin Fancy Dancers, accompanied by the Pleasant Valley Senior Secondary dancers, provided entertainment throughout dinner with their powwow dances followed by a rap written and performed by PVSS valedictorian Justin Peters. After delivering his speech, Peters wowed the audience by singing the traditional menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warrior song, which encourages strength and empowerment. The powerful impromptu performance had the entire audience rising from their seats in admiration. Proud parents watched as students accepted their awards, marking their achievements. Samantha Robertson, SAS, and Kristin Sherlock, Eagle River Secondary, received the Social Award, an award given to a student who helps others and has

demonstrated themselves to be a positive role model among their peers. Aaron Moen, SAS, and Alisha Odd, ERS, were the recipients of academic awards, which mark their excellence within the classroom. Kevin Geary, SAS, and Adelle Martin, ERS, were presented the Culture Award. This award is given to students who have been involved in their local community and cultural community. Alisha Odd was also awarded the $500 Doug Pearson Scholarship. Each student also received framed original artwork by John Sayer. Irene LaBoucane, district principal of aboriginal education noted School District #83 has the highest percentage of aboriginal graduates. She stressed the importance of the annual celebration that acknowledges their accomplishments.

Never Far Away… NICHOLAS COLE LARSEN Sept. 9, 1986-June 1, 2011 I have laid awake so many nights, asking myself why? Would it have been easier, if I had a chance to say goodbye? I’m so thankful that I called that night, to let you know I cared. But what happened a few short hours later, every parent should be spared. There’s so many things I would have said, if I could turn back time. How much I loved you, how proud I was, and thanked God that you were mine. I know that this is not what you would want – the sadness, pain and tears. You would tell me all will be okay, you had me 24 years. But my soul just won’t keep searching, for your presence here on earth. My love for you was oh so strong, from the moment of your birth. And I miss you still with all my heart, my life is not the same. I cannot stop the tears that come, when I hear the whisper of your name. I try to ﬁnd the strength, to give comfort to your Dad. I see how much his life too, has changed, his heart is broken and he’s so sad. Your brothers and your sister, their pain is far too deep. All that they have left of you, are the memories they keep. You were born an original, and that is how you stayed. You never judged others, for the mistakes that they made. You lived your life an adventure, there were so many things you had seen. The motto you always followed, was live life to the extreme. You stood by your beliefs, never would you back down. And for your family and your friends, you always were around. Loyalty and truth was the rule you lived by. You never broke that rule, even on the day you died. You were known as the Viking, by your friends who thought of you. As a man of his word and his loyalty was true. And so, my dear son Nicholas, even though you left us here, you are never far from our thoughts, we all keep you very near.

TRIENTJE (TRYN) NYLAND “Trientje (Tryn) Nyland (nee dewal) died peacefully in Salmon Arm on May 21, 2012 at the age of 91 years. Her family was at her side. She was predeceased by her husband Popke (Pete) in 2006, and her brother Jan dewal in Holland. Tryn was born in Holland and emigrated to Canada in June, 1953, settling in Salmon Arm in 1955. With a young family to support, she worked at several jobs, including Noca Dairy (where A&W is now). She ran a small corner store across from the former J.L. Jackson school where she made the best French fries. As with any marriage, she was the mainstay of support for Pete’s ventures in Salmon Arm Taxi in 1957 and later his venture into real estate sales. She was also of great support to Rik and Len’s interest in various sports. When “J” Lanes started the bowling alley, she and Pete were among the first to get involved in the various leagues, winning numerous trophies for high averages etc. Tryn also loved to fish and went as often as they could, on the Shuswap Lake as well as some of the smaller lakes in the area. Her favourite was Summit Lake near Nakusp. She is survived by her sons, Rik (Brenda Brierley) and Len (Carolyn) both of Salmon Arm, brother Klaus (Trientje) dewal in Holland, sister Lammie (Gys) Wardenburg also in Holland, grandchildren, Todd (Leah) Nyland of Langley, Tonya (Simon) Larvin in Salmon Arm, Tracey Nyland in Lethbridge, and Tasha Nyland in Salmon Arm, her great grandchildren, Teagan Larvin in Salmon Arm, and Trevor and Reese Nyland in Langley. The family would especially like to thank the staff at Piccadilly Care Centre for their care of Tryn. They became her extended family for the past four plus years and she felt so secure there. There will be a private family service at a later date.” Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129.

It is with the greatest sadness and heavy hearts, that we announce the loss of the most wonderful, caring, generous and loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, great aunt, cousin teacher and friend. Joan was born in New Westminster on March 10, 1944. She lived in Haney for 11 years and then moved to New Westminster where she completed the rest of her public schooling. She attended U.B.C. for two years and completed her basic teacher training. It was during her first year at university that she met the love of her life, Gordon. They were married June 15, 1963. This marriage of almost 49 years was filled to the brim with love, respect, admiration and friendship that never faded and never will. Joan and Gord had many adventures in Courtney, where Joan taught for two years, Vancouver for one year as Gord returned to U.B.C. , and then on to Texada Island for three years. It was then time to settle in Salmon Arm, build a home and start a family, Kevan (1971), Krista (1973) and Jodie (1974). When the kids were in, or approaching school- age, Joan returned to teaching part time. Joan was a passionate, dedicated teacher who loved her students, parents and colleagues. Her desire to travel was the only thing that tore her away from her love of teaching, so she finally accepted retirement in 2002. She was able to enjoy travelling with her soulmate and husband, Gord, to many places. However, her goal of seeing most of the countries of the world was interrupted by her short battle with cancer. Left to cherish the memories are husband Gordon, children Kevan (Narcena), Krista (Troy) McLean, Jodie Wentworth, mother Lois Phillips, brother Bill Phillips, sister-in law Doreen (Harvey) Pomrenke and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She fought hard for a little more time with her precious grandchildren, Draven Wentworth, Kieran McLean and a grand-daughterto-be Rachel McLean. A more loving, special grandmother is not to be found. To honour Joan`s wishes, no funeral service will be held at this time, but a celebration of her life will be held later in the summer so family and friends can gather. Should friends desire, donations in Joan`s name, could be made to the Shuswap Lake Hospital Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society, or a charity of ones` choice. Our sincere appreciation is sent to Dr. Plessis, Dr. Main, and all those who gave care during Joan`s battle with cancer. Good bye our Joan. Rest in peace. You have touched so many in your life and will always continue to be remembered, loved and cherished. On-line condolences can be sent to www. bowersfuneralservice.com

WERTZ, RYDER DAMON 1991 - 2012 The boy that meant everything. You were loved. In lieu of ﬂowers please make donation’s to local youth sports. TERESA CECILE MARY MEILLEUR January 1st, 1948 - May 23rd, 2012 It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Teresa Cecile Meilleur of Sicamous, BC on May 23rd, 2012 as the result of a single vehicle accident that occurred near her home. Teresa was born on January 1st, 1948 in Kirkland Lake, ON and grew up in Elliot Lake, ON. She was the second of three children of Lornie and Cecile Mullins with an older brother Mike and a younger sister Linda. She had many fond memories of her childhood and often told stories of her and her siblings adventures. She moved to BC in her 20’s, spending some time in Vancouver before venturing to the small northern mining community of Stewart BC to perform secretarial work at Granduc Mine. This is where she eventually met the love of her life Ed Meilleur in 1970. They were married on July 22nd, 1978 in Elliot Lake where she later gave birth to their daughter Desiree. They returned to BC in 1980, moving to Sicamous in 1984 where she spent the remainder of her life - she often said that she felt at home in BC. She was a very loving wife and always made sure she maintained a warm and welcoming home for her husband of almost 34 years. Teresa was an incredibly dedicated mother and was willing to do anything for her daughter. While Desiree was growing up her house was always the hang out place due to Teresa’s hospitality. In recent years she spent lots of time helping out with her grand kids, taking many journeys to Ontario to make life easier for Desiree. She loved her son in law Ray and they had developed a strong relationship over the last 8 years. She was certainly a proud mother on their wedding day. Teresa loved life with her greatest passion being her two young grandsons Camden (3 yrs old) and Cordell (1 yr old), thankfully she had recently spent 6 weeks with them. She was always talking about her next planned visit in July and the boys could not wait for Grandma Teresa to return (and neither could Ray and Desiree) - a deep void has been left in their lives. Teresa was looking forward to enjoying retirement living with Ed and they had plans of leaving their home of close to 30 years to be closer to Desiree, Ray, Camden and Cordell. She was a great cook and baker and loved to welcome people into her home. Teresa was an avid quilter and enjoyed spending time sewing with friends and making gifts for her family. She was a faithful Catholic and volunteered many hours to the church. Teresa is survived by her husband Edmond Meilleur of Sicamous BC, and her daughter Desiree and son in law Ray Wilkins along with their two sons Camden and Cordell Wilkins all of Balmertown, ON. She is also survived by her brother Mike (Gayle) Mullins of Elliot Lake, ON, sister Linda (Don) Groke of London, ON and numerous brothers and sisters in law, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She is predeceased by her mother and father Cecile and Lawrence Mullins of Elliot Lake, ON. She was a loving wife, a devoted mother, an adoring grandmother and a great friend of many. She was deeply loved and will be sadly missed - we are all struggling to come to grips with this terrible tragedy. A visitation service will be held at 3:00 pm on Wednesday May 30th, 2012 at Bowers funeral home in Salmon Arm, BC. A funeral service will be held at 10:00 am on Thursday May 31st, 2012 at Our Lady of Fatima, Catholic Church, Sicamous with a luncheon to follow. In lieu of ﬂowers donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association. Online condolences can be sent through Teresa’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program. Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store. All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants. “British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria. With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options. With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle. “Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.” The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is

encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available. “We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.” The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure. “I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.” The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease. For more information, visit www. healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/informed-dining. The website also features a contest with weekly draws and a grand prize to cook like a chef and learn from a dietitian.

STOP GUESSING

START ASKING GE T THE FAC TS Making informed menu choices can be challenging. But with the new Informed Dining program, restaurant-goers can now get the facts when dining out. Just look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants and ask your server for nutrition information to help you make healthy choices from the menu. You can now be confident when eating at participating restaurants that you’ll have access to nutrition information before you make your menu choice. Stop guessing...and start asking!
