Relay rocks it at Haney By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Congratulations Salmon Arm! You’ve done it again. This year’s Relay For Life stepped out Saturday in a new location but with the same result, topping larger centres like Vernon and Kelowna, raising a whopping $153,000 and counting. Co-ordinator Jen Dies said Monday that the numbers are a bit down from this time last year, but the counting’s not over. There were fewer teams than last year but more participants – 349 in total, and they came

in all ages, including many young folk. An army of volunteers helped with set up prior to the relay and returned to help out during the event and with post-relay clean up. In particular, Dies acknowledged two teams from Save-On Foods that showed up to paint the street, helped run the kick-off event and operated a barbecue throughout the night of the relay. Pipers opened the relay and the luminary ceremony, following Rick Hirtle’s moving account of his own battle against cancer. Dies says most participants loved the new location and she is hoping Haney officials will look kindly on organizers when their board meets to discuss the event.

SmartCentres construction in limbo By Martha Wickett

OBSERVER STAFF

The City of Salmon Arm is not delaying the SmartCentres development. Mayor Nancy Cooper issued a statement summing this up last week on behalf of city council so the community gets correct information, not rumours. “I was hearing from people that they were

saying they didn’t understand why the city was holding up SmartCentres. There have been a lot of rumours out there, people are concerned, and I don’t blame them,” she told the Observer. She said city councillors were experiencing the same complaints. “They (councillors) wanted us to put it out there. Except for a few small things...,

This week Students get hands-on experience with First Nations traditions. See A13. The inaugural Barrel Bonanza brought equine action to the fairgrounds. See A17.

the city has pretty well signed off on everything.” The mayor’s statement, which has been posted on the city’s website, lists city approvals, which include an official community plan amendment and a zoning amendment that both received final approval on Dec. 20, 2010, and two development permit applications that received approval

from council on Oct. 24, 2011. The website statement points out that the issuance of one development permit by city staff is contingent on SmartCentres fulfilling conditions which include approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. See Start on page A2

Start date unknown Continued from front Sandra Kaiser, vicepresident of corporate affairs, told the Observer in an email that SmartCentres expects “to receive MOTI approval in the next few months.” She added that the company is close to finalizing the last details with the ministry. A spokesperson for MOTI states in an email regarding the lengthy process: “We have completed a review of the preliminary plans and expect SmartCentres will submit the final detailed plans shortly.” Asked about MOTI approval, Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer, said the ministry can provide the best information. “As far as I know, there aren’t any big changes – paving, line marking, signage, electrical. I believe that’s what it is, as well as amounts of security that are required. As far as I know, there aren’t any big-picture things that are at play here.”

Court appeal

The city’s website statement also refers to the Neskonlith band appeal of the BC Supreme Court ruling regarding the hazardous areas development permit for Salmon Arm Shopping Centres approved by the city. The

Court of Appeal hearing for the case is set for Aug. 14 and 15 in Vancouver. The appeal is taking on provincial importance, as the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) has notified the city it will be taking on intervener status, a status that will allow it to make a limited amount of argument in the court. “I’m not sure what that participation is going to look like,” said Cooper, “but the reason they are is they believe the judgment will have an effect on other municipalities, other local governments.” Cooper said the UBCM is giving the city $10,000 to go towards the city’s legal fees. Mark Underhill, one of the lawyers representing the Neskonlith band, said he understands that at least one other First Nation is likely to be applying in support of the Neskonlith’s position, and there may be other parties seeking to be interveners given the case’s important implications.

SmartCentres responds

Meanwhile, an email statement sent to the Observer May 31 from SmartCentres refers to the appeal. “Despite the strong support from the City of Salmon Arm Coun-

cil, the community, and a positive judicial decision by the BC Supreme Court, the appeal of the court’s decision by the Neskonlith Indian Band is causing some uncertainty as to when we will be able to commence construction,” writes Kaiser. “We understand that many residents continue to express their frustration to city council, as they eagerly look forward to having more shopping choices in Salmon Arm. However, we trust the residents of Salmon Arm will appreciate the difficulty the Neskonlith’s appeal poses with respect to our ability to readily mobilize our construction start. “In the meantime, we will continue to finalize our approvals with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and city staff. We remain very committed to the Salmon Arm community and look forward to breaking ground as soon as possible.” Asked about a rumour that construction might not start at all this year, Kaiser replied: “No definitive decision has been made with regard to the timing of construction. In light of the appeal of the court decision by the Neskonlith Indian Band, the timing of construction is a matter of continued consideration.”

Intense: Firefighters from four halls in the Salmon Arm Fire Department responded to a fire at 1091 60th St. NW. by members from the other three Salmon Arm Fire Department halls, who arrived to help knock the fire down and shuttle water to the remote home. “We probably had at least 40 members on the fire and they did a

Drive-by killing remains unsolved By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

It has been just over a year since the murder of Nicholas Larsen in an apparent drive-by shooting, but police are not saying whether there has been any progress with the investigation. “It is ongoing, that’s really all I can tell you,” said Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane of the Salmon Arm RCMP detachment. “Our investigators are continuing their work on this.” Shortly after midnight on June 1, 2011 members of the Salmon Arm RCMP Detachment responded to reports of shots fired in the community of Blind Bay. Police investigation revealed that Larsen, 24, was gunned down by someone in a passing car while he travelled in a vehicle on Blind Bay Road. It is believed Larsen was specifically targeted by his assailants. At the time of the

Nick Larsen SHOOTING VICTIM shooting, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Annie Linteau would not comment on whether drugs or debts may have been the reason for the targeted shooting, but there was no information to suggest the killing was gangrelated. Larsen grew up in Sorrento, attending elementary school in that community before attending school at Salmon Arm Secondary. He was not employed at the time of his death. Larsen’s parents and sibling are longtime residents of Sorrento. Shortly after the news, Larsen’s father Bo told the Observer

of his son’s trusting nature. ““He was a very sensitive guy, very sensitive and trusting. So much so that you’d have to talk to him, tell him that not everyone’s the same, that people can take advantage. Everyone else always came first with him.” In a memorial post to the Observer, Larsen’s mother Shelley pours her sorrow into a poem addressed to her son. “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... “And I miss you with still with all my heart, my life is not the same.

The house, built in 1990, had cedar siding and a tin roof and was totally destroyed, something that will make finding the cause of the fire very difficult. Firefighters remained on scene until 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Shuswap: Effort underway to bring private service to Sicamous which could reduce wait in Salmon Arm. By Lachlan Labere and Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Efforts have escalated to bring medical lab collection services to Sicamous and alleviate wait times in Salmon Arm. An unsigned letter is being publicly circulated, appealing to Kari Prasad, regional manager of LifeLabs Medical Laboratory Services. The letter claims that in Jan. 2011, LifeLabs applied for a licence to provide lab collection services in the Eagle Valley area. A competing application, however, was submitted by Interior Health’s lab services. The letter says IH won the licensing rights in May 2011, and have held the licence since then. “They have recently informed Dr. (Jack) Beech in Sicamous that they will not be honouring the licence and placing services in Sicamous and area,” the letter states, going on to say there is now an opportunity for LifeLabs to pick up the licence, and encouraging them, on behalf of all Shuswap communities, to do so. In an email to the News, Sicamous medical clinic manager and community health services advocate Pam Beech says the clinic received a letter on April 30 of this year from IH director of laboratory services Marty Woods, notifying of IH’s “inability to meet their licensing commitment of a two day a week lab collection service and ECG availability in Sicamous.” “This was on the eve of one year into the licensing period and was at very least a huge disappointment,” says Beech. “On a positive note… the letter from Mr. Woods did indicate a willingness to consider turning over the pending facility licence to a private

lab facility, LifeLabs, if they were still interested in developing the service.” Beech said both Life Labs and Woods have been notified of the community’s desire to transfer the licence over to LifeLabs. LifeLabs spokesperson Lisa Rostoks says the private service provider recognizes physicians and patients in Sicamous wish to have an actual, physical lab located within the community. “We don’t currently have a licence to operate in Sicamous,” says Rostoks. “But we’re very interested in working with the Ministry (of Health), with Interior Health and with physicians in the community to de-

viable option for a private operator to do it and secondly we would no longer remain in a position to provide the service ourselves.” Woods, however, says the option of IH opening a lab is inextricably linked to the Salmon Arm lab, which is using up all lab resources, both financial and staffing, at this time. Woods says IH applied for a licence to operate a lab in Sicamous when the Salmon Arm operation was running smoothly. During the long wait, a new computer system was installed in Salmon Arm, the health authority suffered a staff shortage and lineups extended to several hours.

This announcement leaves Sicamous and the pending licence as the only potential for relief of pressures on the Salmon Arm outpatient IHA lab... Pam Beech HEALTH SERVICES ADVOCATE

the health ministry’s licensing body “was to the effect that no new lab collection facility licences will be issued indefinitely and that only currently pending licences will be considered.” “This announcement leaves Sicamous and the pending licence as the only potential for relief of pressures on the Salmon Arm outpatient IHA lab and makes the fulfillment of this pending licence all the more critical to the entire Shuswap area,” says Beech.

termine the best way to provide lab services to patients.” The holdup, however, is with the health authority. Explaining IH’s side of the story, Woods says the health authority applied to the provincial Medical Services Commission to operate a lab in Sicamous in 2011. “We received our letter to go-ahead in May 2012,” he says. “It took the better part of a year for the formal notice of acceptance. That gives IH the right to the licence until October 2013, but Woods maintains that if there were “a serious and realistic” bid by a private operator, the health authority would relinquish the licence. “We need to know two things: it would have to be a realistic,

While problems seem to be subsiding, Woods says IH will look at opening a lab in Sicamous only if the Salmon Arm lab is operating well enough to spare resources for Sicamous. “Now it’s a case of waiting to see what happens,” he says. “We still maintain we have to do it with the same dollars and the same staff. That would be our challenge – to find a way to do that.” Beech says the effort to have the lab licence transferred from IH to LifeLabs has resulted in unprecedented support from the entire Shuswap, indicating accessibility issues to such services are shared by the entire area.

OPINION THIS ’N’ THAT

Barb Brouwer

Hope ﬂoats at relay Quite frankly, I am running out of ways to describe our stellar Relay For Life. Year after year, Salmon Arm tops the chart, raising more money than much larger communities. Some teams start early in the year, hosting a variety of events to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society – funds that go to research and come back to the community to support those who are ill. Others come on-board closer to the event but with no less enthusiasm. While the money is big – and practical, it is the immense spirit that blows me away every year – the tears, laughter, hugs and camaraderie. Sadly, I added another luminary to the three I have been setting alongside the relay track for the last several years, including one for my husband, another for an old and dear family friend and the third for my daughter-in-law’s mom. One of my Toronto cousins lost his wife last month. She had lived with cancer for 18 years. He told me that despite the challenges, she had a life of joy, accomplishment and happiness, thanks, in part, to innovative and improved treatments, attributable to funds raised for cancer research. I’m hoping the same will be said for a cousin in Scotland who has been diagnosed with terminal bone cancer and is counting on treatment to bring him a few more good years. Which takes me to Rick Hirtle, an accountant with BDO Canada, a company which has entered a team every year since the relay began a decade ago. He shared his story of living with melanoma prior to Saturday night’s luminary ceremony. Given about a 15 per cent chance of living at one point, Hirtle says he and his family hung onto hope, even during the darkest hours. A CT scan following his last chemo treatment in September 2010 showed no evidence of melanoma. Helped tremendously by a Cancer Connection buddy when he was desperately ill, Hirtle is now being there for someone who is fighting a fight he knows all too well. “Tonight is a huge reminder that there are many survivors of this disease,” he said Saturday. “Remember, hope keeps us going – so let there be hope tonight.” Hope – that thing that springs eternal, kept alive by family, friends and volunteers. Volunteers who help those with cancer by driving them to appointments and offering support in myriad other ways, volunteers who, year after year, help set up, take down and run the event. And, of course, those who raise funds and give up a night of sleep so that others might live. Which reminds me, Blu Hopkins and our own James Murray are looking for $5,000 next year, promising to shave off whatever hair remains on their heads if they reach the target. To co-ordinator Jen Dies, who orchestrates this amazing event that not only raises much-needed money, but gives people the opportunity to honour loved ones and celebrate life, I offer sincere thanks and high praise. I feel very blessed to live in a community where citizens continually rise up to meet the needs of others.

Editorial

Opposition builds to omnibus What do you get when you pack sweeping controversial reforms that impact everything from old age security to immigration to the environment into a 425-document that’s supposed to be our country’s federal budget? Not surprisingly, you get a lot of dissent. A growing number of Canadians are speaking out against the Conservative government’s now infamous omnibus bill, C-38. June 4 was Black Out Speak Out day, a day of protest against the bill organized by who’s who of “radical” Canadian environmental organizations who argue they are being unfairly targeted through the bill by the Harper government. They are supported by a wide-range of NGOs representing unions, women, First Nations, humanitarian relief agencies, teachers and more. To

some, that roster may come across as a list of usual suspects. But they are not alone. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities is also opposing the bill. This national representative of Canada’s municipal governments has passed a resolution calling on the federal government to break up the omnibus bill. Even within the Conservative party there’s been signs of dissent. Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks made national headlines over a video in which he candidly tells Revelstoke constituents that he doesn’t like everything in C-38. “If Canadians want it changed, then enough Canadians have to stand (up) to their MPs and say no,” said Wilks. Shortly after, Wilks issued a retraction, stating he supported the bill. But the ball against the bill is already rolling.

The Observer asked:

Would you like to see more Salmon Arm businesses open on Sunday?

Elly Tufts “Yes. With the closing of Zellers and Fields, it would be a great opportunity for downtown stores to attract customers.”

Len Blackburn “Absolutely. It’s hard to shop when you’re working six days a week.”

Maureen Hafstein “Yes, especially the restaurants. It would be nice to have some place to take people like visitors.”

Sherry Kallock “Yes. Most people are busy during the week and probably like to shop on the weekend – especially in the summer.

Tina Rebman “Yes. Sunday is a good day for just wandering around and looking.”

Opposition Fishing raises larger questions far from ‘hysteria’ Re: B.C. Views column by Tom Fletcher. Tom Fletcher wrote: “The parallels between local governments responses to smart meters “hysteria,” (my quotation marks) and this scientifically ignorant push against “pesticides,” is mass hysteria over nothing. Tom Fletcher may be right, chemophobia has spawned hydrophobia (smart meters) or, is it radiation paranoia? A robot is a mechanical device that is programmed to perform a specific task. The smart meter is a BC Hydro robot and humans instinctively fear a creation they have no direct control over. People feel the smart meter robot is controlling them, which triggers the hysteria. Yelling fire in a darkened theatre can cause mass hysteria. Is this what BC Hydro has done? Through the introduction of smart meters, has BC Hydro yelled fire, thereby creating the hysteria wrapping itself around the minds of British Columbians? This mass hysteria over smart meters is a world wide phenomenon not strictly Canadian. Underwriters laboratory scientists have not approved smart meters. The Canadian Standards Association’s scientists have not approved smart meters. Forty one communities in B.C., including the City of Vancouver, have voted to halt installation of the meters, or allow for opt-ins. The medical dictionary defines hysteria as a socially contagious frenzy or irrational behavior in a group of people as a reaction to an event. Forty one communities halting the installation of these robots? That, Mr. Fletcher, is a lot of hysteria. Mr. Fletcher has taken it upon himself to give medical diagnosis (sans an M.D.’s credentials) of B.C. residents, who, through hysteria, oppose smart meters. I will make an assumption that Mr. Fletcher is either: 1. A member of the board of BC Hydro 2. Has heavily invested his retirement pension in BC Hydro or Corix. Phil MacLeod

Fishing in McGuire Lake has provided a forum for discussion about the role of human beings on this planet in nature. Both the egocentric and ecocentric points of view have been described. In the ecocentric, nature or the ecology is the important focus and the role of humans is to fit in, not dominate and manipulate. Are trees and water natural resources to be used for humans or assets to be respected for their own sake? Is the role of humans as stewards, in charge of decision-making or as trustees, ensuring the assets are intact and healthy? What values do these views reflect?

When we read a description of fishing as “…the eternal struggle of predator and prey.” and “…that primordial instinct, that ancient need to pit myself against nature…” we see that this represents the egocentric view of the world and nature. Existing only to be used for humans and to be dominated. Is this the only way now to live? Some time ago I was at a federal habitat conference and met a couple of indigenous people from the North. They told me they couldn’t understand the practice of catch and release of fish. They said that the fish was giving his life for the person so why

didn’t the fisherperson keep it and that this behaviour was just playing with the fish. They appeared to be both mystified and disgusted. So, some contemporary cultures still appear to hold an ecocentric world view. Maybe we can learn from them. The framework of ego and eco centric can help awaken each of us to the motivation and values behind our actions. Then we can ask ourselves, “Is this what I believe and what I want?

were with the facilities.. we heard a lot of “We had no idea Salmon Arm had such a nice, all-encompassing fairgrounds.” This is very valuable real estate to be sitting empty most of the year and I encourage the fair board to maximize usage of this

land as much as is reasonably possible. From a bystander’s perspective, this event seemed to be a perfect fit and it certainly sounded like they’d like to come back. Ian James

Cummins can’t blast through land claims After years of expensive negotiations by various governments, B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins has dismissively said the province belongs to all British Columbians and that tests for aboriginal title preclude most if not all bands in British Columbia from being able to claim much more than their

village sites. Wow, what an astonishing revelation! Why have so many people wasted so much time and spent so much money negotiating? It’s hard to believe all those career bureaucrats and consulting lawyers could be that dumb. Perhaps Mr. Cummins has been watching too many John Wayne movies. Maybe

he thinks he can ride into ‘Fort’ Victoria with his legal guns blazing and straighten out all those annoying Indian land claims all by himself. If he tries, John Wayne’s celluloid ghost will be riding with him, a-shootin’ and a-hollerin’. Lloyd Atkins

Turn to electric alternatives Support local musicians Record high gasoline prices are in the news again here in BC. But instead of complaining about it, and slavishly paying the price, we should really be looking to the abundant renewable energy alternatives we have available here in B.C. and considering electric vehicles. Electric vehicles, and the batteries that power them, have made major leaps over the past decade. And proven production models are on the road and sitting in car dealer showrooms. Put them together with BC’s abundance of

renewable energy in an aggressively significant way and, voila, high gasoline prices won’t be news in BC anymore they’ll be history. We can go on riding the never ending upward spiral of gasoline prices, or we can consider the energy alternatives BC has been blessed with. Renewable energy provides us with a way to opt out of high gasoline prices and still be on the road for virtual pennies a mile. Donald Leung

This is regarding the article in the Wednesday, May 16, Salmon Arm Observer newspaper. We are local musicians and we strongly disagree with what seems like the WOW folks’ obvious policy of not supporting local musicians. Ken and Elda Firth

Flight Lieutenant Robert Sabourin, a former Salmon Arm boy serving in the RCAF, was awarded the George Medal for bravery. After an explosion in his jet he twice ignored orders to bail out and chose to ride the plane down rather then risk having it crash on a settled area near Rivers, Manitoba. H.W. Scales outlined a plan, to some 250 persons attending a friendship dinner at J.L. Jackson school, to erect a large building for the United Church on property purchased on Okanagan Street. Estimated cost of the project was $110,000.

In an era where many marriages end in divorce, one Salmon Arm couple have beaten the odds in an amazing way. On June 11, Ruth and Roy Tapp will be celebrating a milestone 70th anniversary and, even after all these years, the couple say they are still deeply in love. Roy, who is 96, and Ruth, 89, both say they have enjoyed the many years they have spent together. “It has been a good life. A few ups and downs but a good life,” said Roy. The couple met in Manitoba in 1941, when Roy was 25-years-old and Ruth was 18. Roy had been living and working on a farm when Ruth took over her sister’s job as caretaker for an older couple who lived on a farm just down the road. Ruth’s sister had asked Roy to take Ruth out as she was not familiar with the area. They were married one year later. They did not have a big elaborate wedding; in fact they had decided to elope. Ruth explains it was just after the Depression and there wasn’t any money for a wedding. Also, she says, “eloping was just the thing to do at that time.” The couple went to Franklin, Manitoba, and officially tied the knot, celebrating afterwards by going out for a Chinese supper. So what is their secret to a long and lasting marriage? “Love and communication,” said Ruth. “We look after each other,” added Roy. One of the couple’s favourite memories over the last 70 years was a trip they took many years ago. The couple shared their story of how they had bought a Massey Ferguson tractor for their farm and were entered into a contest. “We never expected to win,” said Ruth. When they received notice they had won a trip to six different countries, they couldn’t believe it. “We were hard-working people,” said Ruth. “I would run a tractor outside with Roy and he would help me inside the house with things like dishes. We would never have been able to afford a trip like that.” “I was just a grain farmer,” added Roy. The couple explained how at the time

they had a four-year-old son andd a crop that was ready for harvest.. If they did not take care off the harvest, they would not get their year’s income. To their surprise, neighbours began calling, offering to watch their son while the they went on the vacation. Others called offering to harvest their crops. “They said to just mark the d barrels and that they would n do the rest,” said Ruth. “Even o complete strangers called to congratulate us.” They recall being amazed by the generosity of people, and how thing it allowed them to do something ble to they never would have been able do otherwise. They have travelled the world since, but looking back both Ruth and Roy agree nothing compared to that trip. “That (gave us) the best memories,” said Ruth. She also added with a smile, how they received pictures in the mail for months after their trip. Ruth explained how at this time they couldn’t really afford pictures, but this was also part of the trip package. The couple says they have had many other great memories together, some of which were just being able to help others. Both Ruth and Roy have volunteered with the Red Cross, collecting money, knitting and sewing items. They also made sure that their door was always open. Whether the person was destitute or rich, the couple always made sure they had food in their stomachs, clothes on their backs and a place to sleep. Roy and Ruth moved to Salmon Arm 20 years ago, where they have lived ever since. While the couple is not able to travel as they once did, they continue to enjoy life here. “We appreciated the interest and kindness of the people of Salmon Arm,” said Ruth. Their children have put together a party to celebrate the milestone anniversary, which Ruth says they are excited about. “We are looking forward to seeing all out family, friends, and neighbors.”

City faces rising policing costs By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Proposed changes to policing costs have raised eyebrows on Salmon Arm council. Council was asked last week to approve, in principle, budgets for the RCMP municipal policing contract, of which the city is responsible for 90 per cent. The budget for 2012/13 is $2,985,957, and the budget for 2013/14 is $3,233,791. Neither of these includes any increase to the number of officers at the detachment. A memo to council from corporate services director Monica Dalziel explains the forecasted cost for 2013 amounts to a 1.25 per cent increase in taxes, with the incremental increase per RCMP member amounting to $8,562, to a total per member cost of $168,378. (This reflects staffing/operational costs and is not what members are paid annually.) While council was

Nancy Cooper MAYOR

I think that the province, and maybe all of the municipalities, needs to look at how we do policing and see if there are ways we can do things a little bit differently…” being asked to, and did agree in principle, for the benefit of the Federal Treasury Board’s budgeting process, Dalziel noted that if council did not agree, policing services could

be reduced to the community. Coun. Alan Harrison wasn’t concerned with the increase for 2012/13, but with the increase for the following year. He referred to a Union of B.C. Municipalities questionnaire regarding the RCMP’s recently completed contract with the Province of British Columbia. It states the average increase for 2013/14 is 2.75 per cent. Harrison said Salmon Arm’s increase is six per cent, and he’s working on finding out why. “There may be a good reason for it,” said Harrison. “But with the information I have now, I couldn’t figure it out. I will figure it out before budget time, because I think it’s important for us to know.” Mayor Nancy Cooper explained that the city prepays the RCMP each quarter and, in some years money has been refunded. In

other years, however, the city has had to pay more. Regardless, Cooper suggested the way policing is done needs to be looked at. “I just think about the medical system and we don’t go to the doctor for absolutely everything, and the doctor doesn’t do absolutely everything,” said Cooper. “We have quite a level of services from RNs to LPNs to home support… and I think that the province, and maybe all of the municipalities, needs to look at how we do policing and see if there are ways we can do things a little bit differently so we can better utilize the constables…” The same UBCM document also states that, under the new policing contract, taxpayers in communities with populations of 5,000 or less will at some point be paying more for policing through the provincial Police Tax.

Wig service offers quality and compassion By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

Laurie Bruce and Valerie Andersen learned firsthand why a business such as theirs is desperately needed in the area. Andersen has problems with thinning hair, which had sent the pair all over British Columbia to find a suitable wig. Instead they were met with poor and, at times even embarrassing, service along with low-quality products. They found out they were not the only ones faced with such experiences, as other friends shared their stories as well. “This makes a tough time even worse,” said Bruce. As a result Bruce and Andersen decided to open their own business called Bloom In-home Wig Service, which makes privacy and personalized service a top priority. Bruce explains that buying a wig can be an emotional time, especially if you are suffering from an illness. “You don’t want people staring at you,” says Bruce, “and salons will not allow you to take products home to try.” That is why Bloom In-Home Wig Service

Bruce encourages her clients to invite close family or friends to the fittings, explaining that it helps make the experience fun. Her goal is to make that time an escape from other worries and stresses. “They can open a bottle of wine and just enjoy themselves,” says Bruce. The women don’t charge for appointments and will stay at their client’s homes as long as needed. “They are welcome to try on as many wigs as they like until they find the right one for them,” said Bruce. “Our goal is to make our clients look and feel pretty again. If they find the perfect

wig but not the perfect colour, we will order it in.” The women arrive with advertising-free vehicles and bags to maintain their clients privacy. “The neighbors don’t need to know what we are doing there,” said Bruce. Before beginning their business Bruce and Anderson were not aware of the difference between good and bad wigs, nor how to properly care for their products. Bruce explains that her previous wigs would often be hot and itchy, but they thought “that’s just the way wigs are.” Before opening their business, the two women extensively researched wigs. As a re-

sult they are able to supply top-quality products that look natural, are comfortable and easy to maintain. “In this type of hot climate, poorly made wigs are even more uncomfortable, which makes it

Former SAS student’s research honoured By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

This has been a big year for former Salmon Arm Secondary graduate, Ryan Trenholm, who not only won an award for his research, but has recently been chosen to represent the University of British Columbia in Japan later this summer. “I can’t believe it happened to me,” said 24-year-old Trenholm. The theme of the U21 International Research Conference being held in Japan is sustainability. Trenholm said he expects to see everything from psychology to botany being presented. “It will be an amazing learning experience,” said Trenholm. He received the honour of attending the U21 International Research Conference, after winning an Oral Presentation Award at the Multi-Disiplinary Undergraduate Research Conference in Vancouver. His award-winning project investigates water reduction in civic parks through the use of adaptive irrigation. After teaming-up

Ryan Trenholm UBC STUDENT with the City of Kelowna last summer, Trenholm discovered his methods were able to save the city nearly 50-60 per cent of water normally used. Despite competing against the city’s most advanced water system, Trenholm was able to save 210,000 litres of water. Through his research, Trenholm was also able to create a website that will help community and park managers evaluate and interpret data collected by water sensor nodes embedded in the grass in city parks. The website will use this data to create visual feedback. Trenholm hopes that his website will later be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of irrigation systems. The SAS grad has also created a mobile

phone application that allows developers to take advantage of specific features of their mobile device. This would enable park managers to access and use information while in the field. Some of these features include graphs, charts and maps. The mobile app will also allow residential users to better understand how their own irrigation systems work and, it’s hoped, make them more conscious of how to use them more effectively. In a phone interview, Trenholm explained how different this research was from his past school assignments. “I actually had to dig around in the dirt,” he said, describing the hands-on work required. “I had to collect soil samples to determine what type it was.” The City of Kelowna will not be adapting his system at this time, Trenholm explains. The cost of water is inexpensive, so any amount of labour makes it not financially viable. Despite the extra

costs, the city is still expressing its interest and has agreed to work with Trenholm once again this summer, in hopes of furthering his research. The goal will be to find ways to better manage the city’s water system. While the agreement is still in its negotiation phase, Trenholm says the city will be temporarily implementing his program into all Kelowna parks this year, instead of just one. Trenholm also presented his work at the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences seventh annual Undergraduate Research Conference on April 4. The creative student will officially be graduating in June with a major in computer sciences from the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan Campus. When asked if he expected to accomplish so much in just one year Trenholm responded: “Definitely not, I didn’t even know about these conferences, or that these research projects even existed.” While he seemed to stumble onto this path

Group offers support to bereaved parents By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Grief is a burden most people bear sometime in their lifetime. But there is a pain that sets bereaved parents apart. The progression is out of sync. Grandparents and parents are expected to go first in the “normal” scheme of life – not children. “Your first reaction is disbelief and shock,” says Sandy Quinn, whose 21-year-old son Devin died in an accident at Kalamalka Lake Aug. 8, 2009. “I had police come to my door, and my whole world changed.” Quinn’s husband works out of town and her other three adult children live elsewhere. “We had just moved to Salmon Arm to what was supposed to be our retirement home and I didn’t know my neighbours,” she says of the horrific day of Devin’s death. Alone and isolated in her grief, Quinn attended a six-week workshop presented by Shuswap Hospice, where her healing began and where she made a precious connection. “It helped because I met Fran Blackburn,” she says, noting the two provided each other with a veritable lifeline. Blackburn had already lost one son, 24-year-old Michael in 1996, and while she knew intellectually she could lose another child, she figured she had somehow paid her dues. She was again devastated when 19-year-old Austin was killed in a July, 2009 car accident. “When I lost Mike, it

Sosnowsky’s son, Alex, who died in an accident just after his 17th birthday. was like unbelievable,” she says. “The first time, I didn’t get any help, but when Austin was killed, I knew I couldn’t do this again without help.” Blackburn says the most helpful thing was simply meeting someone who suffered the same kind of loss and could understand what she was going through. “Other people will get fed up with your grieving; they feel it’s behind you when it never is,” says Blackburn. Forging a fast friendship, Quinn and Blackburn began attending The Compassionate Friends meetings in Vernon and were delighted author and bereaved parent Cathy Sosnowsky agreed to share her expertise by starting a new chapter in Salmon Arm. The women, for whom grief remains raw, find their emotions are still all over the map and sometimes difficult to articulate. They also find it easier to laugh together, because they both understand that being able to laugh now and then does not mean

the grieving process is complete. And that while most people understand grief in their own context, many fail to completely comprehend the pain inflicted by the loss of a child. “I think for most people there’s guilt – why didn’t I die?” says Sosnowsky, who joined The Compassionate Friends shortly after losing her son, Alex, a few days after his 17th birthday in 1992. “I think the grief is so strong that dying seems to be OK,” adds Blackburn quietly. “Life loses a lot of its value for quite a long time; it doesn’t seem as precious or important. But then you have to think of your living children.” Quinn agrees and admits to having fears about losing another one of her children, an event too terrible to contemplate. Based on the premise that “For we have known such sorrow as yours and we understand,” The Compassionate Friends Salmon Arm Chapter is a self-

help organization offering friendship, understanding and hope to bereaved parents. More than that, the group is about life – about resilience of the human spirit and parents learning that they must share in the responsibility for their healing and recovery. Members of the group are invited to share – in their own time. “You can go to Compassionate Friends, you don’t have to talk you can just listen,” says Quinn, who finds supporting others helps her heal. “We’re not counsellors, we’re a support system.” The first local meeting of The Compassionate Friends brought out 16 bereaved parents, something that surprised the women. While the group meets in a cosy room at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Compassionate Friends has no religious affiliation. “As our meeting ended, people were thanking us for starting a meeting,” says Sosnowsky. “We have

Students share First Nations traditions By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

Grade 4 students from Enderby’s M.V. Beattie Elementary were recently taken on an exciting journey into the Shuswap’s past courtesy of the Mary Thomas Cultural Village. As part of the Grade 4 curriculum, the students were studying the aboriginal spring unit, explained Cory Thomas, one of the aboriginal education workers. Gerry Thomas and his team at the village created an educational adventure that took the students on a laugh-filled tour of the Neskonlith culture, both past and present. The groups of students were able to engage in many different activities that allowed them to see the unique Neskonlith culture for themselves. Students eagerly called out the name of plants and trees as Gerry Thomas guided them on a tour through the

the Mary Thomas Cultural Village. forest. He showed the students how to identify plants they should avoid, such as the stinging nettle, which can leave a painful burning sensation on the skin. Students also learned how the some of the same plants that can cause so much pain can

also be used for healing or even food. Cory Thomas and Amy Sampson told traditional stories that inspired the students to create their own. With the aid of puppets, groups of students performed stories about greedy animals and

The groups were also given the chance to help make a reed mat which, as they were taught, had many different uses including bedding and shelter. Students laughed loudly as Gerry had his team finish off the day with a play about how coyote got his red eyes. Cory Thomas was very pleased with the results explaining that events like these help “promote community pride, aboriginal pride, and school pride.” The Mary Thomas Cultural Village is open not just to schools but also to the general public seven days a week.

Fire ban set for June 15

GARDENS SA L M O N A R M

By Barb Brouwer

Nominate your neighbour, the people down the street, yourself or someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water garden, vegetable garden or best overall garden. Photos of one of these gardens will be featured in the Salmon Arm Observer each week, starting in June. The only stipulation is that the garden must be in the City of Salmon Arm.

OBSERVER STAFF

Get ready to put a lid on the flames. Fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek says the Kamloops Fire Centre will add the Salmon Arm Fire Zone to the annual fire prohibition as of noon Friday, June 15. And the City of Salmon Arm will do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any fire larger than a half-metre wide by a halfmetre high is prohibited,â&#x20AC;? he says, noting the fire ban includes burn barrels, trash and debris piles and fireworks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no ban on fireworks in the City of Salmon Arm,â&#x20AC;? says assistant fire chief Jim Nickles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if the situation gets extreme and Ministry of Forests puts a ban on campfires, we will follow suit with a ban on fireworks as well.â&#x20AC;? Depending on weather, the ban will be in place until Sept. 15 above 1,200 metres in elevation and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be lifted until Oct. 1 in areas below 1,200 metres. People should avoid lighting a campfire in windy conditions and must ensure that at least eight litres of water are available nearby to fully extinguish the fire. Never leave a campfire unattended. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire ban may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. The prohibition has already been in place for other zones within the Kamloops Fire Centre with a total of 61 person-caused fires already reported since April 1. None have been reported in the Salmon Arm Fire Zone, which is normally cooler and wetter than Kamloops, Vernon, Penticton, Merritt and Lillooet fire zones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are forecasting wet weather this week, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get complacent,â&#x20AC;? says Skrepnek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The top layer of debris can dry out very quickly and just because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wet now, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean it will be lowering the risk in the long term.â&#x20AC;?

Drivers’ strike delays books By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

Crash closes Trans-Canada

KURT SAUTER PHOTO

Both lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway between Chase and Sorrento were closed Sunday afternoon, June 3, after a four-vehicle collision. A Pontiac GrandAm entered the westbound lane and collided with a tractor-trailer. Debris from the collision damaged a GMC Envoy, which contained a mother and one-yearold baby. Subsequently, the Grand Am then had a head-on collision with a pickup truck. RCMP reported the only driver of the Grand Am received non lifethreatening injuries.

You may have to wait a little longer if you ordered a book from your local library. As part of the current contract dispute, Canadian Union of Public Employee van drivers will not be making deliveries to library branches between today and Saturday. “That means small branches that get one delivery a week may miss a delivery,” said Lesley Dieno, Okanagan Regional Library executive director. “All medium and large branches may miss at least one, and

up to two or three deliveries.” Besides new books and magazines not being added to library shelves, patrons who ordered books online will be impacted. “The process will be slower by four days,” said Dieno. Rose Jurkic, CUPE local 1123 president, says halting van deliveries is necessary. “We’re trying to show the employer we are serious about our needs but we’re not walking off the job and closing libraries,” she said of minimizing public disruption. CUPE members voted 96 per cent in favour

of strike in early April, although there has been limited action to this point, such as staff not collecting overdue fines. ORL has offered a 4.5 per cent increase over three years, and the union can decide if it goes to wages or benefits or a combination of both. CUPE is seeking a five per cent wage hike over three years as well as improvements to benefits. There have been no negotiations since the strike vote. “Neither party is willing to change its position at this time,” said Dieno.

Serena Caner Lawn mowing season has begun and, for many, this also marks the beginning of beerdrinking season. There is something wonderful about coming home after a hard day of work and cracking open a nice cold beer to enjoy on your patio. This habit would not be so bad except that, for many of us, that one beer turns into three… or six. Soon, from a calorie perspective, you might as well have gone to MacDonald’s, had a super-value meal and stopped at DQ on your way home (and believe it or not, there is more nutritional value in your fast-food meal, than your six-pack). An average beer has about 150 calories per can. Light beers are about 100 and strong beers are closer to 200 (due to higher alcohol content). For those who don’t like beer, wine still has about 120 calories for a 5 oz. glass, and some mixed drinks, such as margaritas or pina coladas, more 500 calories (1.5 ounces of hard liquor is 100 calories, before anything is mixed in). Furthermore, once you are in the “happy state,” you are less likely to go for a jog or make good decisions about what you eat. Beer goes nicely with salted nuts (another 800 calories per cup) and you can see how quickly these habits can lead to weight gain. The important message is moderation. Most health associations (like the Canadian Diabetes Association or Heart and Stroke) allow for one to two drinks per day. Unfortunately, these cannot be banked for a weekend binge. To enjoy responsibly, remember these tips: • Keep only one or

two beers in your fridge

ic drink. • For mixed drinks, use lower-calorie mixers such as diet pop, soda water or lots of ice. • Sip your alcohol,

rather than chug (similar to chewing your food well). • Make a list of chores/activities that must get accomplished before cracking a drink

(because, let’s be honest, they won’t get done afterwards). • Stop using your ride-on mower and opt for a push mower. This way, you burn off the

calories you will enjoy in your beer. - Serena Caner is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

Speed was the name of the game at the first Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza held over the weekend at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds. With great agility, riders and their horses completed a pattern, racing around barrels and back to the finish line as fast as their four legs could carry them. At the end of two days of racing, the fastest average time was compiled, giving the 1D – or ‘first division’ winner. When the dust had settled, Kyla

Clarke from Kelowna on her steed, Sail On Fast Chick, took top spot in the Open category, winning $1,400 in prize money. Then, rather than simply giving prizes to the top-10 riders, a designated time is added to the 1D winner, creating a 2D category. Similarly, another set time is added to the 2D winner, creating a 3D category – and so on. “You never know which division you’ll fall into until the fastest horse wins,” explains

Steed speed: Left, barrel racer Racquel Marchiel, who took top spot in the peewee fourth division, rounds the barrel at the Salmon Arm Barrel Bonanza. Above, Candace Mitchell, who took first in the fourth division open category, completes her pattern. Chantelle Prentice, who co-organized the event. Taking the 2D win was Lissa Quinlann from Grindrod on Molson. The 3D winner was Sue Bleile from Chase on Dreamer. And first in 4D was Silver Creek rider Candace Mitchell on Keeta.

Candace’s daughter Mariah, riding Cheanna, was equally successful, winning 1D in the Peewee category. Another Salmon Arm rider was in the winnings in the Peewee category – Raquel Marchiel claimed top spot in 4D. Prize money was awarded to ninth place per day in each divi-

sion, coming from a total jackpot payout of $17,141. The event attracted a total of 168 riders. Prentice explains that the BC Barrel Racing Association is a non-profit group, so when riders in the open category pay $53 per day to enter, $50 of that goes into the jackpot.

Outlaws claim nail-biter The Shuswap Outlaws Minor Lacrosse Association held its annual tournament at the Shaw Centre this past weekend. The tournament was divided between Peewee, Bantam and Midget divisions with a total of 11 teams taking part. The deciding games were held on Sunday with all three Shuswap teams making it to their respective finals. The Peewee Outlaws played Merritt on Sunday but were overwhelmed by a strong Thunder team. The Bantams also came up short against Prince George in their final game. In the tournament finale, the Midget Outlaws came up big in a thrilling 4-3 victory over the North Delta Islanders. Overall, the tournament was a competitive, well-run affair which will lead the Shuswap teams into the final portion of their regular seasons. League playoffs and zone playdowns will begin in mid-June.

On the move: Ethan Trotter now plays for the

Ethan Trotter is right where he wants to be – for now. Trotter has accomplished what few have done. He’s made a Junior A lacrosse team and is now playing for the Okotoks Raiders in Alberta. Ethan’s dad Kevin notes that lots of players try out for Okotoks, because they’re a skilled team. They’ve been to the pinnacle of lacrosse in Canada, the Minto Cup, the last two years running. Attaining his goal hasn’t been easy. Trotter, 19, practised throughout February and March with the team, before getting accepted to their camp in April. He shed 15 pounds in order to increase speed, and worked out in the gym five days a week to stay fit and strong. “I had to get a lot faster, lean out a little bit. It hasn’t really changed my game much. There are more systems for offence and defence; it

takes all five guys to make it work. If one guy is not doing his job, it breaks down.” Now that league play is underway, the Raiders practise four times a week and, once playoffs start, that will increase to five or six, he says. Although the Raiders are a young team this year with lots of 16 and 17 year olds, their relative lack of experience hasn’t been a detriment. They’ve already defeated the top Calgary team in a tight contest, with their sights set on the Minto Cup once again. The Minto Cup is set for August in Ontario. While Trotter is playing for a different team, his love for the game hasn’t changed. “It’s fast, it’s rough, it’s always entertaining, there’s always lots of goals. You never have games where there’s no scoring – it’s usually in the double digits.

Salmon Arm’s Sockeyes’ have spent the past couple weekends competing in their first two swim meets of the season. The first was in Penticton’s new pool, where every one of the 27 participants swam personal bests. The small number attending didn’t deter the Sockeyes from having impressive results – the team placed second overall. The girls team placed third, with a number of swimmers winning aggregates for combined points for top finishes

in individual events, including top finishes from Julianne Moore (Division 1), Keeya Corbett (Div. 2), Chantel Jeffrey (Div. 3) and Eliza-Jane Kitchen (Div. 6). Secondplace finishes included Claire Hall (Div. 3) and Georgia Kehl (Div.5). Abbie Nesdoly earned a bronze (Div. 5). The boys won the meet with two division sweeps. The first was in Div. 1 with Connor Levins, Eric Moore and Rowan Trow finishing first, second and third respectively. In Div. 4, Matthew Nesdoly,

Gaelyn Gilliam and Matt Cooper filled the top three spots. Additional gold medals were earned by Stephen Moore (Div. 2) and Brayden Gilliam (Div. 5). Finishing off the podium finishes for the Sockeyes was a silver medal by Alexander Corbett (Div. 5) and a bronze by Andrew Hall (Div. 2). Many Sockeyes had best times in all six events including Claire Hall, Megan Hart, Chantel Jeffrey, Julianne Moore, Benjamin and Kennedy Novakowski.

Layla Schmidt competed with the Sockeyes for the first time ever, but swam like a veteran and has shown great improvement over the season so far. In Richmond, the Sockeyes took a small but mighty team of nine swimmers. Their swims were noticed in the tough and deep competition that was present at the pool. All swimmers placed in the top six in multiple swims. Gold medal finishes were swum by Julianne Moore (50-metre fly, breaststroke and

individual medley), Eric Moore (50-m breaststroke), Stephen Moore (50-m fly, breaststroke, backstroke, 100-m individual medley and free), Chantel Jeffrey (50-m fly), Brayden Gilliam (100-m fly) and Eliza-Jane Kitchen (100-m breaststroke and 200-m individual medley). One meet record was set by Sockeye Stephen Moore in the 50-m breaststroke in a time of 41.29, shaving almost three seconds off the old record set in 2000.

Thanks to the help of 47 horseback riders, the Ride for a Child’s Wish was a huge success. The province-wide event on May 27 was put on by the Silver Creek Community Association. The group of riders was able to raise $11,585 for the British Columbia and Yukon chapter of the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. Salmon Arm resident Wendy Johnson was recognized for having contributed the largest amount of pledges at $3,170. The annual ride, which began at the Silver Creek Community Park, lasted about three hours and allowed participants to take in views of Mt. Ida. Free hamburgers and entertainment were available to all riders upon their return. An auction was also set up and prizes such as an $800 saddle were given away. Maria Smith of Grand Forks won the saddle. Since its inception, the provincial trail rides across B.C. have raised more than $900,000 to help make dreams come true for children diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

Weekend wins for Shuswap The Shuswap Girls U11 Development Soccer Team played two games in Salmon Arm on Sunday. In their first game they were outplayed by Nelson and lost the game 5-1, with Roxanne Van Rooyen scoring an unassisted goal for Shuswap. In their second game, against Kamloops, the Shuswap girls came out strong and were leading the game 2-0 at the half time. Kate Milne and Megan Hart scored in the first half, with the assists going to Hannah Tarzwell and Courteney Bacon. The Kamloops team fought back in the second half and managed to score two goals, resulting in a final score of 2-2. The last weekend of play is in Vernon on June 10.

Tough loss The U16 Boys Shuswap Selects faced Kelowna United on Sunday in Salmon Arm, the third time the two teams have met this season.

swered goals. Kelowna got one more back to tie the game, 3-3. Then, in the last minute of the game, an unfortunate penalty shot was awarded to Kelowna, giving the visitors a 4-3 win. The Selects travel to Kamloops next Sunday to play the Blaze.

Playdowns Because soccer playdowns are scheduled for the same weekend as Enderby graduation ceremonies, and the U-18 boys Select soccer team has team members from Enderby, the team played its first of two rescheduled playdown games (the next game being played in Kelowna on Tuesday, June 12) against Kelowna in Salmon Arm Sunday at Blackburn field. It was a well-played match, but unfortunately the Selects lost 1-0.

To a draw In Division 1 action in the North Okanagan Women’s Soccer Association May 29, the Little Tex Outlaws and Glenn Power of Salmon Arm battled to a scoreless draw. Glenn Power is 2-1-3.

Double wins In the North Okanagan Soccer League

showdown match May 30, it was host Courvas of Salmon Arm brushing back North Enderby Timber 3-1. All the goals came in the first half. Courvas (6-0) used speed for their first and second goals, with both goals coming off right-wing, through balls and low, hard shots to the bottom left corner. The third Courvas tally was off a mis-timed header by the NET centre back, which resulted in a breakaway. In their play, Nation of Domination Eagle Homes shaded Monashee Surveying 2-1 in Vernon. Monashee (3-2-1) led 1-0 at the break but NOD (4-3) evened the score off a gorgeous free kick from about 30 yards. Shortly after, Eagle Homes scored again off a great ball in from the right, followed by a header on the left post. The game got tough and cards came out with a Monashee player picking up a red for violent conduct. Also on the pitch, the Salmon Arm Outlaws clipped Concept Physio 3-2 in Vernon. Concept put a beautiful shot by the keeper for 0-6-1, Concept’s first goal. The Outlaws (1-6) tied it with a free kick that clipped the

Signs of spring

wall and took a crazy bounce. Concept went up 2-1 but the Outlaws equalized before the half and won it on a penalty kick.

Kurt Giszas waits his turn as Alke Broeder throws her bowl during a game played recently at the Salmon Arm Lawn Bowling Club.

Team first In the Capri Insurance Okanagan Oldtimers League, Salmon Arm earned a close, tightly fought victory over NC from Kelowna, a team Salmon Arm has never beaten in league play since they came into the league. Wolfgang Bopp scored the first goal 10 minutes after some sustained pressure around their goal. Kelowna scored an equalizer near the end of the half, with John Damon keeping the team in the game. Again, credit goes to the team’s defence. Steve Murphy had another outstanding performance, as did Jake Jakobsen on left and Al Bensmiller on right. Man of the match was Davey Howes who played in the middle with Nigel Clack. Andy Whiston played the entire game on left wing with Ralph Segreto, Johannes Schneider and Rich Morton filling in on right mid. Jeff Abbott scored the second and winning goal with less than 10 minutes to go.

Big wins for ﬁghters A pair of Gracie Barra Vernon-Shuswap members from Salmon Arm put their Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills to good use at Battlefield Fight League (BFL) 16 on Friday June 1 in Vancouver. Fighting in the iconic Vogue Theatre, Canoe’s Ryan (Grizz) Allen earned the vacant BFL middleweight (185-pound) amateur belt with a late first-round knockout of Nanaimo’s Jer Kornelsen in the card’s co-main event. After missing with an overhand right, Allen clinched with Kornelson and wore him down against the cage with some Greco-Roman wrestling. Feeling his opponent tire, Allen

earned a takedown, avoided a submission attempt, gained back control and then rained down bombs to earn the knockout and improve to 4-1. Kornelson is 4-3. “The last 10 seconds of the round he connected with some real good shots and he was out,” said Gracie Barra instructor Mario Deveault, who coaches alongside Dave Rothwell. “When Ryan puts that pressure on, people misjudge him, and they can’t handle it.” The middleweight belt became available when its former owner, Micah Brakefield, turned pro. The lanky fighter surprised Allen with a submission win at

BFL 13 in February in Vernon. In a middleweight under card, Salmon Arm’s Chad Polson, making his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut, stopped Vancouver’s Dwight Joe with a rear naked choke at 2:03 of the first round. “I don’t know if he’ll go again because he had such a good time,” smiled Deveault. “For a first fight, he got everything.” Polson set up the choke by gaining back control and a body triangle. Coaches Deveault and Rothwell expressed how impressed they were with the pair, “It was a big night for both of them and we are very proud to have these two train with us.”

Students view world through new lenses OBSERVER STAFF

AGA Public Art Gallery was a-buzz last Monday. Grades one and five South Broadview students zipped around the exhibition of their own photographs – pictures that described matters of importance in their own lives. In February, 41 students were given a camera for a week and directed to take photographs at school, at home and in the community for a project called Photographing Our Lives. The amazing results were on display at the art gallery. Each exhibit comprised of notes that introduced the students, their name, age and what they liked about the photos, says the school’s current artist in residence Zev Tiefenbach. “What I try to get when I take photo images is a sense of intimacy and authenticity, and what I find is when you give cameras to these kids, they’re able to document their lives with more intimacy and authenticity than I could,” he says. “So for me, the images these kids create are a body of photographs that are so interesting and beautiful that I become really passionate about their work.” Principal Steve Atkins called Photographing Our Lives a wonderfully creative experience for everyone involved. “They learned to use cameras, develop an eye for photography – what constitutes a photo as opposed to a snapshot – and describe what’s important in their lives,” he says. “And they had a huge amount of pride in being able to exhibit in a local gallery.” Atkins says in the week they had

one of eight cameras supplied by a local business, each student first met with Tiefenbach to get a bit of hands-on technical advice. At the end of the week, their photos were downloaded onto a computer and groups comprised of three Grade 1 students and three Grade 5 students went through each portfolio, deciding together which were most significant and best suited for the exhibition. “What gave it artistic merit was they were able to critically evaluate their own work as well as their classmates,” says Atkins, noting students who were not in on this year’s project were clamouring for another one. “They love hands-on things; it’s exciting for them and they get to show you some of their personal lives – their parents, pets, hobbies. They take a lot of pride in their personal lives.” Grade 1 teacher Jaana Mainprize enjoyed the project, deeming it an exceptional opportunity for her students. “The thing that really pops into my mind is it was a really interesting way for the kids to gather information about their own lives and the photos were fantastic,” agrees Grade 5 teacher Catherine Auten, who pointed out that working with a seasoned photographer was also an important aspect of the program. This project was supported by School District #83, the South Broadview Elementary PAC and several area businesses. Those who were unable to go to the gallery will have a chance to see the work on display from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, June 17 in the school house at Haney Heritage Village & Museum.

A funding proposal is in the works with the school hoping to be able to offer the program again next year.

Donate a loonie for food Salmon Arm residents have the chance to make a difference with just one dollar. The Second Harvest Food Bank has put together a fundraiser that will stretch the entire month of June. During this time organizers are asking that Salmon Arm residents donate a single dollar to help their cause. “We believe that there are somewhere in the neighbourhood of 8,000 to 10,000 families in Salmon Arm,” said Diana Mangold. “So if every family donates just one loonie, that would be a tremendous help to Second Harvest.” Donations can be placed in the white mailbox located by the Save-On Foods exit or in the marked cans located at Askew’s and Salmon Arm Health Foods.

Living a fuller life, later in life By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Women who have, for many years, “put themselves at the back of the bus” in terms of priority, often find challenges in putting themselves first later in life. Doing that is them subject of two focus groups taking place Wednesday, June 27, one from 9 a.m. to noon and the other from 6 to 9 p.m. Kathleen Seeley, and two others are co-authoring a book called

Good Food, Good Wine, Good Sex. “One of my co-authors has been married for 30 years, I just ended my 19-year marriage, and the other one has been in a 15-year marriage challenged by raising kids and managing a high-profile career,” says Seeley, who works with corporate leadership teams and with Jack Canfield, cocreator of the Chicken Soup series of books. The women discovered that although their circumstances are very

different, their dreams, desires and inner conflicts are very similar. “Our book is about what women have to give up, what we have to say good-bye to, in order to have a passionate and sensual life filled with aliveness and presence – things like, obligation, selfjudgment, poor body image, blame. Seeley says technical information will be written by a professional, but the three women will gather stories from other women,

connect them and give real practical advice and information in the book she promises will be fun, lighthearted and honest. “Women are questioning themselves about what they’re going to do with the second half of life,” Seeley says. “In all the literature, nothing really deals with all the issues.” If you are interested in participating, e-mail Kathleen@theseeleygroup.com or call her at 250-832-2245.

Horoscope ARIES (March 21 - April 19): You are asked to articulate your values, and the task seems daunting. Let the question itself lead you to a point of self-discovery, as you ask yourself, ĂŹWhat do I really believe?ĂŽ The answer might surprise you, but does put power in your hands to make empowering changes. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): A large check or bonus could show up with speed and surprise, but there are strings attached you would have to accept. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering the last few days of a year that has been filled with the blessing of Jupiter. You have uncovered important seeds of potential and possibility. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): The week has ĂŹloveĂŽ written all over it. Relationships and attraction are the big lessons for you now, as the Universe leads you to examine your expectations. Whether attached or single, you will likely go through a change of status or circumstance, to your liking. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): The week carries a meditative quality overall, though the workspace appears busier than usual. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the calm you bring to your daily activities that causes the most notable moments. You could receive delightful news related to a quick improvement in health and well-being. LEO (July 23 - August 22): The chance to have fun comes quickly. The need to get back to your responsibilities could come as a sudden thud, unless you find ways to integrate the two. Involve friends in your plans for the best chances at balanced joy. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): Your home situation calls your attention. There are likely to be changes to your environment, whether this involves a person coming or going, or an actual move. Redecorating projects are best when you avoid extravagance, as you tastes are likely to change rather quickly.

Sudoku

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no small thing to find ways to reach more people. Whatever your profession, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re increasingly seeing the benefits of conversation, connection, and charm to make your days sweeter and bring your goals closer. A random interaction brings prosperity. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): You could find yourself with a surprise pay raise, thanks to a secret recommendation of another. There will likely also be a change of circumstance, with a notable ending incorporated into this new chapter. You stumble on the secrets of success and raise your confidence. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): A lunar eclipse in your sign denotes an important and fortunate ending. Welcome strong emotions where they find you, likely through a love related interaction. Matters with a partner might feel testing, but encourage you to be clear on your level of commitment. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): You could spend the rest of your days trying to figure out what you are meant to do in this life, or you can trust that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be led somewhere good. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become aware of the threads that are moving you towards success and purpose in quiet ways. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): An important week of reflection and promotion. You are getting more attention than you thought possible and welcoming opportunity ensures you attract more of it. A larger adventure is calling you, unlike any youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve undertaken before. PISCES (February 19 - March 20): Some say we all have a spiritual instinct. Your sign has an intuitive understanding of this. A feeling of connection gives way to a career breakthrough, as your goals become aligned with a higher calling.

OBSERVER STAFF

Transportation Canada isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only one with concerns relating to the Marine Park Drive railway crossing. City staff will be meeting with government agency to discuss traffic safety concerns raised in a letter to the city from Transport Canada railway safety inspector Dennis Maskell. Speaking to the letter at the May 28 regular council meeting, Coun. Marg Kentell raised a couple concerns of her own. She noted how the dip in the track at the crossing has gotten to a point where a vehicle can â&#x20AC;&#x153;just about get hung up there.â&#x20AC;? It was explained to Kentel that the crossing would be CP Railâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. She maintained that something should be said so the issue can be addressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really deep and I think it should be

GARDENS SALMON ARM

“Tucked Away” The Clarks This little gem is a little bit of heaven on a very busy street. Seven years in the making and “still a work in progress.” Marie says she is always finding room for another plant, or moving resident plants around. This peaceful, low maintenance water garden, has it all. A pond that runs the length of the front yard with waterfalls, and rock work that surrounds the deck and hot tub sitting area. A very calming effect on the visitor. Marie says a lot of the plants that have claimed her yard as home are volunteers, like the Virginia creeper that graces her fence along the driveway. A dwarf Japanese maple is a focal point in the corner of her yard while a small rhodo-dendrum sits atop a waterfall. Boxwoods make up some of the greenery, along with a very vibrant pink flox that really takes center stage. The pond has about 20 goldfish… well, until the Blue Heron finds out.

— By Sherry & Laura, Salmon Arm Observer err

Each week from June until October the Salmon Arm Observer will be publishing this Salmon Arm Garden feature which will profile unique and spectacular gardens in the City of Salmon Arm. Does your neighbour have a garden that makes you stop in your tracks? Do you know someone whose garden goes above and beyond? Do you think your garden is a cut above? Don’t be shy! Let us know the owner’s name, address and phone number! The garden does not have to be huge or elaborate. It could be on a balcony or a front yard or whatever space you have, as long as it is unique. Send your entries by email to advertising@saobserver.net or drop off at the Observer office 171 Shuswap Street NE Salmon Arm. We will be out taking photos each week. If you are not at home when we arrive we will leave a contact information sheet at your front door to advise you that we came by.
