The RCMP and Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue (SVSAR) called off the search for 24-yearold Andrew Wilson of Salmon Arm late Tuesday afternoon. Wilson, the son of Lynda and Lorne Wilson of Salmon Arm, had been missing since Monday afternoon after being swept away by currents while swimming in the Seymour River. RCMP and searchers have concluded that it is unlikely that Wilson survived and he is presumed to have drowned. Reports indicate that on the morning of June 11, two men, Wilson and a friend, travelled to Andrew Wilson Seymour Arm for a day hike to Seymour Falls. “At some point in the afternoon, one of the men jumped into the Seymour River to cool off and was swept down river,” reads an RCMP press release. “The man’s friend made his way to the nearest logging road and flagged down a grader operator, who in turn contacted a local resident. The resident called 911.” Chase RCMP initiated an air and ground search of the rugged and remote Seymour area Monday

Search to resume when water recedes Continued from front afternoon, continuing in their efforts until it grew dark. The search resumed Tuesday until it was suspended at 4:30 p.m. SVSAR search manager John Schut says seven members of the group’s white-water team took part in the search but were unable to kayak the river as planned. “The river where he went in is a boiling cauldron of foam and froth and absolutely unsafe for us to go in where he is most likely to be trapped,” says Schut of the area about 15 kilometres upriver from Seymour Arm in the North Shuswap. “We did a test at the waterfall to determine if something going in there would come out, and had a 90 per cent probability that it wouldn’t. We had only a five per cent chance he would be found.” However, Search and Rescue conducted shoreline searches down the length of the river, except in a couple of canyon areas that were deemed to be too

dangerous. A boat team searched the river’s outflow as well. “It is always difficult not to find a person, and we know it’s hard for the family because we know what they are hoping for,” said Schut. “We hope when the water goes down maybe we can go back and look again. That’s all we can do.”

“We hope when the water goes down maybe we can go back and look again. That’s all we can do.” John Schut, Shuswap Search and Rescue

Schut says searchers had marvellous co-operation from the RCMP and that “local people went above and beyond in their helpfulness,” by communicating with witnesses and searching the river banks before search and rescue teams arrived on scene. “Seymour Arm resident Don Honeychurch acted as a guide for us and a bed and breakfast put us up for the night,”

he says. Chase RCMP along with an RCMP air services helicopter and an RCMP dive team joined members of the Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue in the search effort. Sgt. Gary Heebner with the Chase Detachment says search and rescue volunteers did the best they could in very rugged terrain, trying to search out all the pools and eddies. But searchers agreed the RCMP helicopter that flew up and down the river proved to have the best vantage point. “The helicopter was, by far, the most effective way to search,” Heebner says. “It could travel much more quickly.” Like SVSAR, Heebner says as water level starts to recede, the RCMP will continue to have a helicopter go up and continue the search effort. And, he adds a timely caution: “Enjoy the views of the river but do not go in,” he says. “Even though it looks calm, it is never calm underneath. The eddies and currents are too dangerous right now.”

SHUSWAP Community mourns father, two daughters Saskatchewan crash: All invited to Celebration of Life June 30 at Sorrento/Blind Bay ball park. By Tracy Hughes MARKET NEWS STAFF

In the wake of a collision which killed a Sorrento father and his two daughters, and injured a mother and son, communities of the Shuswap will have a chance to share the loss. Three members of the Janzen family were killed after a head-on collision in Rosetown, Sask. Sunday afternoon. RCMP say at approximately 12:20 p.m. a westbound car attempted to pass a semi-truck and collided head-on with an eastbound SUV. Doug Janzen, 47, and his daughter Alli, 19, died at the scene while, Cassidy, 13, was taken to hospital first in Rosetown and then to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, where she succumbed to her injuries. The two other family members in the car remain in hospital. Patricia Janzen is in critical condition, while her 16-year-old son Cody is injured but RCMP report he is expected to make a full recovery.

A Community Celebration of Life is scheduled for Saturday, June 30 at 2 p.m. at the Sorrento/ Blind Bay Ball Park. Everyone is welcome. Organizers suggest people feel free to bring your own chairs as well as food to share amongst everyone. There will be a message box there for anyone who would like to write something to Pat and Cody, who are likely still to be in Saskatchewan. Flowers can be put at the entrance gate of the Janzen’s home. In addition, a trust fund has been set up to help with expenses. All donations can be put into the trust fund for Pat and Cody Janzen available at the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union at the Sicamous, Salmon Arm and Sorrento branches. In addition to the loss of the three Janzen family members, one of the occupants of the eastbound SUV has now died. Ryan Bridger, 30, of Plato, Sask. died in hospital Tuesday afternoon. He was the driver of the SUV that collided with the Jan-

zen’s vehicle on Highway 7. It appears weather conditions were a primary factor in the crash. “There were heavy rains here Saturday and Sunday and it was raining quite hard at the time of the crash. It appears the spray off the semi was quite heavy and obscured the driver’s visibility,” says Sgt. Ian Skinner of the Rosetown RCMP detachment. Skinner notes all five members of the Janzen family were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash. “There were no ejections, but damage to their vehicle was extreme.” Alli was attending school at Okanagan College, after graduating from Salmon Arm Secondary last year, while Cassidy attended Carlin Elementary/Middle School. The North Okanagan-Shuswap School District #83 crisis team has been dispatched to several schools to try to help students and staff cope with the tragic accident.

Superintendent Dave Witt said the crisis team went to the schools on Monday morning and will stay as needed. “Our hearts go out to the family and community as they deal with this tragedy and work through this difficult time,” adds Witt. Tributes and condolences from friends and neighbours also

poured in on Facebook sites. Laura Spengler writes: “RIP Alli Doug and Cassidy – you will always be remembered by everyone. Your family touched many hearts and gave me memories that I will never forget. I know you are looking down on us and smiling, trying to tell us it will be okay. It’s just such a shock.”

Forecast has officials eyeing lake, river levels By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

Mother nature will once again have the last word. While the BC River Forecast Centre is maintaining a flood watch issued for the Shuswap River June 10 at 7 p.m., local concerns are centred around lake levels. Swollen following several days of heavy rain, flows are expected to remain elevated on the Shuswap River at Enderby, and it may be a couple of days before there is a significant decline, says a River Forecast Centre update. The centre will continue to monitor conditions and will provide updates as conditions warrant. Columbia Shuswap Regional

District Emergency Program coordinator Cliff Doherty says other river reports indicate the Adams, Seymour and the Eagle rivers are levelling off, with inflow matching outflow. He says officials at the Sugar Lake Dam had to release more water than normal, an act that will elevate lake levels somewhat. Turning to Shuswap Lake, Doherty said the electronic gauge at Canoe recorded the level at 348.25 metres Monday afternoon. Doherty says the Water Stewardship Division of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations said Monday morning they continue to believe the lake will crest at a one in five year flood level, probably in the third week of June.

“That description is 348.7 metres and similar to where the lake got to last year,” says Doherty. “It’s normal.” That doesn’t mean all area residents are out of the woods yet. “The biggest concern we have right now is beach dwellers – maybe not so much from water levels, but from waves caused by wind or boating activity,” he says. Over at the City of Salmon Arm’s Public Works Department, manager John Rosenberg says he’s hopeful freshet will continue without incident. But in the spirit of hope for the best and prepare for the worst, Rosenberg says the city has put its action plan into effect. Water levels are checked daily and staff are on call 24-7.

Rosenberg says reports indicate area snowpacks are significantly lower – down to 60 to 80 percent of what they were. “If we get a bunch more rain, the levels will come up, and if it doesn’t, the lake will flush out well,” he says. “We’re still .4 of a metre off last year.” Public works staff have made alterations to the gangplank at Marine Park wharf, where the drop is usually 16 feet to the lower docks, but is now almost level with the large wharf. If lake levels rise by another half-metre, Rosenberg says staff may have to do something with the federal wharf in Canoe as well. “The lake moves 15 feet, plus or minus, every year,” he says.

“It’s like an annual tide rather than a daily tide. It’s a significant difference.” Rosenberg and Doherty both agree what comes along will be dependent on the weather mother nature serves up in the near future. Both men also agree that concerned waterfront residents should get some sand bags and get busy protecting their property. In Salmon Arm, sand bags are available at the Public Works office on 30th Street SE, with sand available nearby in the overflow parking lot at the Little Mountain Field House. Sandbags are also available at Sorrento Parts & Service. Find them in Sicamous at the public works department.

Plea for Earth Author and lifelong environmentalist Bob Harrington makes an eloquent appeal for a theology of the earth, combining philosophical and spiritual perception with practical economic facts to educate, inspire and challenge listeners to change their lives in order to change the world. Harrington has spent many years privately funding and managing small environmental restoration projects as well as writing and publishing several books on environmental matters. He examines the place of humankind in the kinship of all life, and in a masterful fashion has identified specific problems that we have created, the consequences of our actions and the necessary courses of action we must take to save our planet and ourselves. With deep insight and compassion Harrington shows us another way. Harrington will make a presentation at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 26 at First United Church in an event sponsored by World Service Organization. Harrington will discuss the idea that the Earth may be imbued with soul, awareness, intelligence and benevolence, and examine our place in the midst of this miracle. Everyone is welcome to attend what organizer Dorothy Argent describes as an insightful and inspiring presentation. Admission is by a suggested $10 donation.

When Shaw Centre events co-ordinator David Knight phoned to tell Scarecrow’s lead singer John Hodgson his band was opening for Nazareth July 7, he didn’t believe it at first. “I just about fell off the chair – I thought it was a joke,” he laughs. “We just weren’t expecting it, we’re flattered beyond belief. They’re rock heroes.” But Scarecrow, with their mixed bag of musical genres have a faithful following of their own. As chair of the Shuswap Trail Alliance and of the team that organizes the annual trail party fundraiser, Pain knows how well crowds respond to Scarecrow. “The reason we keep bringing them back

Apple’s alteration creates conundrum Apples have a long-standing reputation as a healthy food. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as Benjamin Franklin is said to have put it. But the Frankenstein complex has an equally long, if not longer history. That’s the nickname given to the fear that man’s messing around with the building blocks of life will eventually create something that will destroy humanity. Bring the two together and you’ve got a problem. It’s hard to blame the B.C. Fruit Growers for their concern that the introduction of a genetically modified apple could ruin the reputation of the Okanagan as a source of high quality healthy fruit. And while Neal Carter, whose company has used gene modification to create a non-browning apple, certainly has his eye on the commercial return while extolling the benefits of his Arctic apples, there is one benefit that stands out. And, coincidentally, it’s the same as what made the apple’s reputation. Most people don’t care about a little browning, but it is also indicative of a breakdown of the apple’s nutritional factors. Take away the browning, and the vitamins and anti-oxidants stay. So, on one hand, we have growers wanting to preserve the reputation of their product as a healthy food and on the other we have an apple that retains its nutritional value for longer. Anyone see some common ground here? Consider too that growers have been practising genetic modification for centuries, albeit by the much slower selection and grafting methods. Caution is a good thing, especially when it comes to monkeying with genes. Extensive testing, that too. But allowing caution to grow into an unreasoning fear is never a good thing. If turning off an enzyme can preserve the best aspects of an apple, it shouldn’t be thrown away on account of ancient fear. – Penticton Western News

OPINION

The promise of fishing season It’s been a while since I’ve cast a line. Not that I haven’t wanted to ... It’s just that, well, something was missing. Namely my old fishing partner, Duff. I remember one day last year I was all prepared to go fishing. I’d gone through all my gear the night before, got up in the morning, made breakfast, loaded the cooler in the back of the Explorer, sat down behind the wheel, put the key in the ignition and just sat there. I couldn’t turn it. I sat there for a while and then went back into the house. Every time someone has offered to go fishing with me in the past two years, I have come up with all sorts of reasons why I couldn’t go – what with work, doing live performances, having to cut the grass, having to fix the screen door and/or put a coat of paint on the adirondack chairs that sit out in the front yard, and/or going for a walk in the hopes of losing a few pounds. You can see why I just didn’t have the time to go away fishing. I mean, there were those

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray two weeks I booked to go away to that fishing lodge last year, but like I said, when the time came I just wasn’t into going alone. However, as the walrus said to the carpenter “the time has come.” It’s another year and another fishing season. So by the time you are reading this column, I will be out on the water fishing with my new five-weight Sage. Some one once said that anglers are ever the optimists. I hope so. I’m looking forward to just sitting out in my boat somewhere and feeling the warmth of the sun on my face. For me, the first cast of any fishing trip is always

absolutely ripe with anticipation - not to mention the first cast after almost two years. I’m sure that each cast after that first one will have its own possibilities and potential. But that first cast of the season - well, it holds all the promise of the rest of the season. When I go fishing, I like to think that I’ll start out early and spend the whole day on the water. Just after six or seven, or maybe a little later, like eight or nine. It all depends on how hard a time I have dragging my carcass out of bed. One thing I always do is make a point of having my terminal tackle set up the night before. Not only do I find it hard to see what I’m doing in early morning light, there’s also something about not having your line in the water when every other angler is already casting the an early morning insect hatch. Preparation and anticipation may not exactly be one and the same, but experience has taught me that one’s anticipation can be quickly dashed without

proper preparation. Fishing is full of anticipation. From the beginning of the season to the end, each cast, each run and each ripple, each seam along the edge of fast flowing waters, each and every insect rise and each bump along the drop-off offers new possibilities and opportunities. Each cast is, indeed, made with a certain amount of anticipation, expectation and trepidation. And the best part of it is that each cast made without a strike is but a prelude to that moment when you do feel a sudden, heart stopping bump on the end of the line. Like I said, by the time you read this, I’ll be on the water somewhere. I know it will do me good. For just as there is promise in the first cast of each new season, there is also satisfaction in the memories of past seasons. I was lucky to have had a good fishing partner for so many years. I’m truly grateful for the memories. Besides, the grass can always wait. So can the screen door for that matter.

Without political activism, democracy withers The smear campaign against voters in this country has got to stop. Mr. Mayes’ recent column is nothing less than an attack on democracy. Voicing concern about government policies is the responsibility of citizens, and it is our elected representative’s job to listen. If our society wants an engaged citizenry with faith in our democratic system, we absolutely must have officials who represent us honestly, rather than simply rejecting views with which they

don’t agree. There is nothing illegitimate about a group of concerned citizens banding together to have a louder voice, especially when their concerns are being ignored by their “representatives.” Political activism is not only a legitimate use of our own dollars, it also supports the common good. On the other hand, political parties who ignore the voices of those same voters while fulfilling the whims of their corporate donors, under-

mine democracy. Mr. Mayes makes too many accusations in his last article to counter in a brief letter. We don’t have to be paid to be worried by Bill C-38, the bill masquerading as budget implementation. There are many legitimate concerns about issues including fish farming, forestry, oil pipelines and tankers, tar sands and water. And guess what? Most of us are taking time off work to protest, whether by writing letters or standing on Parliament Hill.

More, we are taking seriously our responsibility as citizens to fully participate in our country’s democratic process. In keeping with the government’s opposition to funding political engagement, we assume that the Conservatives will immediately cease to accept corporate donations. Political activism in opposition to the destruction of environment, social services and democracy is legitimate and critically important participation

in government. Without grassroots political activism, we have no democracy, merely an elected dictatorship. Rebecca Kneen

Bill undermines environmental protection I’m concerned that the Conservative’s omnibus budget bill, Bill C-38, if passed, will undermine the democratic process of Parliamentary debate. In fact, it is not truly a budget bill, as it would repeal, amend or replace 70 different acts of Parliament without adequate debate. In particular, this

bill would severely undermine environmental protection in Canada. Proposed changes to the Fisheries Act would limit the protection of fish habitat to commercial, recreational or aboriginal fisheries. Amendments to the Species at Risk Act would put the habitat of endangered species in jeopardy. As well,

Bill C-38 would amend the Navigable Waters Protection Act, giving the National Energy Board full power to approve the construction of pipelines over navigable waters. These are just three of the many changes included in Bill C-38 that will impact environmental protection in Canada. This bill must be

Hair – most of us have it, some more than others, it’s one of the defining traits of mammals – humans included. The Bible speaks to hair as a crowning glory. Sott.net describes hair as an extension of the nervous system – like antennae. For those of us who have had long hair, there is an emotional effect when the locks are severed into the hands of a stylist. Kimberly May submitted to her first hair cut in five years June 7 at Ivan Idea in Blind Bay. Rather than allowing her crowning glory cuttings to fall to the floor and be swept away into the trash, she turned the experience into a fundrais-

City considers Canoe leases By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF

Council wants more information before cutting Canoe lease lot owners a break on their rent. The city has received a request from a Canoe beach lot lessee for a fee reduction. The request comes following an appeal on the assessed value of the tenant’s lot, that resulted in a decreased assessment value for 2010. District administrator Carl Bannister said staff aren’t recommending any changes, explaining the fee reflects what the city thinks is fair market value. “The assessed value was just a tool to make it easy to do that calculation,” explained Bannister, noting that the final value was also determined by appraisal

work. Specifically, the lease levied and collected for 2010 was based on the original 2010 assessment, times three per cent. For each year after, to 2013, an additional five per cent is added to the 2010 fee. Staff noted that the result of the successful assessment appeal process applies to all 28 of the Canoe lease lots. Coun. Alan Harrison said he was wrestling with two positions, that of staff and that of the lessee. “But all of us know, with our houses, if we appeal the assessment and the assessment goes down, we pay less,” said Harrison. “So if we have 30 Canoe lease lot people out there saying that, what my mind is saying, the right thing to do, despite the

decrease in revenue for the city, is to decrease their rent amount. But I want to see the information written first…” Coun. Chad Eliason supported Harrison’s request for staff to come back with a report on how adjusting the rental agreement would financially impact the city, but he reiterated the original intent was to get fair market value from the lots for taxpayers. He added that money from the rentals is going into a reserve to help reclaim the lots, to eventually be included as city beach property. Eliason suggested the city may have to devise a new formula that is more fair and balanced, with “set increases of a certain percentage or a CPI percentage.”

The birth of a music festival SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman When the Shuswap Coffee House moved in 1978 to the new Shuswap Theatre in Tappen, it was the beginning of a golden era for musical entertainment in our community. Often there was a full audience for both open mics that featured local talent and entertainers from throughout Canada, including some international groups. Sometimes the theatre venue, which was once the Tappen Women’s Institute Hall and later a restaurant, was not large enough, so the Gleneden Hall was booked. That is where Stringband first played, as did Bim (now Roy Forbes) and also where we danced the night away to Dan Rubin’s band, Flying Mountain. The open mics attracted musicians from as far away as Kamloops and Armstrong. Each act played a few songs and then during the second part of the evening there would be a rocking jam that was always well appreciated by the dancers in the audience. It was at one or two of these evenings that four students from the high school played some great jazz, which were likely some of their first gigs. One of the young musicians, Richard Underhill, has become a Canadian jazz legend and his band, the Shuffle Demons, played at the first Roots and Blues Festival and will be at the festival again this year. When I asked Rich about that evening, he noted, “Actually you gave us an ‘inspirational’ quote that we still laugh about today. ‘Hey guys, sounds great, you’ll go near!’ Classic!”

By 1980, the coffee house had become a well-appreciated part of Shuswap culture; thus we took the leap and formed a non-profit society with 40 members. The first newsletter, in late February, sported a logo with a music staff rainbow in a Shuswap landscape scene designed by Julie Farr with help from Jake Jacobson. Meetings were often held during the potluck suppers that we enjoyed prior to most events. In June, the society became officially registered with a constitution that included these purposes, “to promote the development and education of local musical talent, to establish an information exchange centre for musicians, society members and friends, to create a public awareness of local musical talent, and to provide musical and cultural entertainment from other parts of Canada and the world.” The February, 1980 newsletter reported on other accomplishments including a healthy bank balance and a recently purchased sixchannel sound system that was also available for a low rental fee to local musicians. As well, the coffee house had joined the Salmon Arm Arts Council and the Salmon Arm Cultural Foundation. So many events were planned, that other venues were needed when Shuswap Theatre

Perhaps the most exciting announcement in the newsletter was that the coffee house was working with the City of Salmon Arm’s 75th Birthday Committee to produce their first music festival in July at the fall fairgrounds. Lumber had been donated by Federated Coop to build a stage atop a donated truck frame. Unlike the festivals that began in 1992, this festival was to feature only local musicians. A form was included in the newsletter that also appeared as an advertisement in the Salmon Arm Observer for musicians to fill out if they were interested in performing at the festival. The poster for the festival, which had free admission, listed 29 featured groups and single artists and boasted of “many, many more.” Some of the artists that played at the

festival were David Allan, Dave Cowan, Jim Johnston, Doug Rawn, Mike and Pat MacDonnel, Jack Jacobson, Karen Beggs and Jeanette Clement. T-shirts that featured the coffee house logo were made and each performer received a free one. The September 1980 newsletter boasted of many successful dances, open mics and concerts, with more to come, including the Mulberry Street Jazz Band, Ian Tamblyn and Ferron. However, a weekend of rain had forced the music festival inside the noisy arena for the first night and inside the cow barn on the second night. Despite the low turnout and having to compete with other events at the weekend party, a large number of very talented musicians played, the performances were recorded, and two, new stars emerged, Deborah Klein and Valerie Dunn.

Trails offer outdoor escapes

Welcome Brenda!

By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF

There’s no need to drive to Banff or Jasper to hike when there are similarly breathtaking trails right here in the Shuswap. John Coffey, a member of the Shuswap Trail Alliance, has been hiking throughout the Shuswap since the early ’70s and has shared some of his expeditions with fellow hikers who have marveled at what the area has to offer, while questioning the need to go anywhere else. “There’s all this area north of here that’s called the Anstey Range – most people in Salmon Arm, the Shuswap and Sicamous, have no idea we have worldclass mountain glaciers and hiking just north of here that’s easily as good as the Rockies,” says Coffey. “And I’ve taken people in and that’s been their comment; ‘Why do we travel to the Rockies when this is two hours away?’ And it’s right here and it’s spectacular.” The Sicamous area alone is a wealth of unique trail systems that cater to a range of hiking expertise. One of the most accessible, Sicamous Creek, is a recently upgraded circle route that offers a brilliant view of Sicamous Creek Falls. Trail Alliance member Lori Schneider-Wood says she is amazed, to the point of being shocked, with how many of her fellow Sicamous residents who have never actually walked the simple trail.

# John Coffey and Lori Schneider Wood of the Shuswap Trail Alliance explore the trails of the Eagle River Nature Park, one of numerous fantastic trail systems in the Sicamous area. “Even people who work with the district… Never heard of it, didn’t even know it existed,” says Wood. “And it’s two miles out of town.” Other less-challenging trails include the Old Sicamous Highway, which makes its way down to the lake, the beautiful Gorge Creek Falls trail across from the Last Spike in Craigellachie, and the Eagle River Nature Park, where Coffey and Wood were hiking last week in search of botanical rarities – in particular, the Cascara tree, once highly sought after as a natural laxative. Wood describes the park’s pathways as “10 kilometres of beautifully groomed, all-season trails.” About to embark on a hike through Eagle River Nature Park with her daughters Angeline and baby Lucille, Justine Patrick says all the local trail systems are part of why she lives in Sicamous.

“I think our trails are vital to our ability to actually appreciate the Shuswap and the diversity here… They’re pretty essential,” says Patrick. Not too far off from Eagle River is the Eagle Pass Mountain Trail, which Coffey calls the “best hike in the whole country,” with the remains of an old fire lookout up top. “There’s a horse trail to it so it’s a moderate walk up to it and very few people have been there,” says Coffey. The Shuswap Trail Alliance website lists 14 trails alone in the Sicamous area, though Coffey guesses there’s at least a couple dozen. And new ones are coming online, such as those within North Fork Wild, a 51-acre parcel of land in Electoral Area E SicamousMalakwa, donated by owner Peter Jennings to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District for parks and recreation. Perhaps the most

well-known trail in the area is the Larch Hills Traverse, which can be hiked, biked or skied from Salmon Arm to Sicamous. The trail was featured last year in BC Magazine, in which it was described as “22 kilometres of vintage trail, including the adrenaline surging downhill zigzag known as the Sicamous Switchbacks.” The magazine’s photographer, Patrick Halley, who was said to have biked many of the world’s top trails, called the switchbacks “one of the Seven Wonders of singletrack.” Coffey and Wood both regularly lead hiking expeditions throughout the Shuswap, and welcome hikers who are new to the area to contact the trail alliance to find the hikes best suited to them. For more information about trails in the Sicamous area or throughout the Shuswap, visit www.shuswaptrails.com.

Grateful for dads’ contributions VILLAGE VOICE Lynda Hooper Fathers are 50 per cent of the reason each of us exists on this earth. From birth, male influence brings balance to our social upbringing Though we only have one biological father, there are certainly other males making an impact: uncles, brothers, grandfathers, cousins, either with shared heredity or not. Teachers, neighbours, co-workers – the list is endless for possible choices to forming relationships. Memories are created

#Macey Honing, left, visited last summer from Dawson Creek, while Shyla Fletcher and Jordan Fletcher swim in the pool in Centennial Park. The land for the park was donated in 1965 by George Hysop. through interaction and communication, constructing positive achievements together. Leaders in our community are the fathers of society.Take for instance George Hysop. He was a farmer in Chase, purchased his property in 1939 and contributed much to the community fabric. Chase resident Della Smith spoke fondly of George Hysop, her dad,

as she told me about the man who donated land for the Centennial Park in 1965, where the wading pool is located on Pine Street. “Dad was a driving force in constructing the Chase Community Hall, as a member of the Board of Trade,” said Smith. The Chase Board of Trade (known today as the Chamber of Commerce) celebrates its centennial this year.

“He loved people, especially children and often entertained as a musician. He played sax, violin, drums, and violin/fiddle.” Smith said her dad would play at dances in Turtle Valley, which is where he met and married his school-marm sweetheart, Yvonne DeLeenheer. Her parents had settled in the Chase area in 1907 from Belgium. Della and brother Bill are the results of George and Yvonne’s wedding. The generations have ultimately produced 15 grandchildren and two great –grandchildren. “They all love to come home to visit in Chase,” Smith says. In October 2010, the Village of Chase council moved to have a plaque made in honour of George Hysop, and then have it installed,

Weather ideal for hatching mosquitoes The cool wet weather and rising rivers have combined to create the perfect storm of conditions for mosquitoes in the Thompson Nicola Regional District. The TNRD says its shaping up to be another higherthan-normal year for the

little blood suckers. Martin Dickson, the TNRD’s environmental services technician, says crews are pretty much treating continually, working seven days a week and 12-hour days. The method being used the most right now is

hand-treating with a bacteria that attacks mosquito larvae. Some spraying has also occurred. Dickson says residents can cut down on the numbers of mosquitoes in their own yards and neighbourhoods

by changing out bird bath water once a week, dumping standing water from things like planter trays and kiddie pools. You can get more information from the 24-hour mosquito advisory hotline at 250372-5700.

Getting ready for the Teddy Bears Picnic Grab your teddy bear and your toddler because Chase Strong Start is hosting their annual Teddy Bears Picnic on June 27. The free event is open to all children up to age five, and will run from 9 to 11 a.m. Children can come take part in face painting, crafts, parachute games, as well as many other activities. The afternoon will wind down with story time and a free snack that will be handed out to the children. All children are required to bring a blanket (because it is just not a picnic without a

blanket), a teddy bear, and at least one adult to accompany them. Last year’s event was a great success with activities such as a children’s scavengers hunt, necklace making, and teddy bear related crafts. Sand and water tables were available for the children to play with and they had a chance to relax with their teddy and make a few new friends. The event is free but parents are required to register beforehand by calling Kary at 250679-2960 or emailing smallstepspreschool@ hotmail.com

Fueling up for sports and fun LIVING WELL It is the time of year for school sport and physical activity fun days! Whether you or the kids you coach are competitive athletes or just out to have fun, good nutrition is important. For peak performance choose a variety of foods from each food group in Canada’s Food Guide every day. Vegetables, fruit and whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat pasta and oatmeal provide the carbohydrates needed to fuel the body for sports. Milk, fortified soy beverages, yogurt, cheese and smoothies made with

milk help build strong bones. Food from the meat and alternatives group such as chili, grilled chicken, stirfried tofu and tuna sandwiches are high in protein and key sources of iron. Visit Health Canada’s website www. healthcanada.gc.ca/ foodguide to create a personalized guide. Insist that the food and beverages available at school events are healthy. Healthy choices not only help to fuel optimal performance, but their presence at school sporting events and fun days reinforces healthy eating messages taught in the class-

room. Whenever possible, link healthy choices at activity days with your school’s healthy living programs. Ensure the menu at school events allow students the opportunity to choose a balanced meal. Instead of chips and candy, include milk, 100 per cent real fruit/ vegetable juice, cheese, apple slices or crisp raw vegetables and dip. Choose 100 per cent whole wheat buns to accompany items like chili, soups and veggie burgers. As of 2007, all of the menu items for sale must meet the Guidelines for Food and Beverage Sales in B.C. Schools. If you will be serving food you should contact your local Health Unit a couple of weeks prior

to the event to determine if you need a Health Permit. Staying hydrated during physical activity on a hot day can be a challenge. Most athletes do not drink enough fluids to keep their bodies working at their best. Make sure plenty of water and hydrating snacks like watermelon and orange slices are available to counteract all that sweating! When participating in physical activities it is important to drink before, during and after the event or practice. Drink 1 ½ to 2 glasses of water at least 4 hours before exercise. Take water breaks every 1520 minutes during the event or practice and keep drinking fluids after exercise is complete. For most activi-

ties that last 90 minutes or less, water is usually the best choice. Parents and other spectators can be good role models by bringing healthy snacks to the next game, practice or sports day. Make healthy eating part of your life! For more information on eating for performance contact HealthLink BC at 8-11 to speak to a dietitian or to email a question www.healthlinkbc.ca/ dietitian . For a list of successful fun day ideas visit www.actionschoolsbc. ca and check out the Food Fit for Sports or Physical Activity Fun Days Handout. - Cindy Bossio is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Manthers slay dragons from Coast

ERIC REYNARD PHOTO

Speedy cyclist

#Sam Lazar cycles to a first-place finish in the Solo division of the 2012 Beat the Train Triathlon held Sunday. It included a 35-km cycle, 10-km run and eight-km paddle.

Salmon Arm Secondary rugby players and coaches of past and present united with A.L. Fortune alumni in the Annual Sunfest Rugby tournament. Teams from the Coast regularly win the tournament. Two pools this year played short rugby games of 20 minutes to quickly decide a winner. The first match that the Enderby/Salmon Arm Manthers played was against the Capilano Rugby Club that won the Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League Championship this season. Capilano was playing under their alias summer festival team, the Gibson Pigs. It was a tie game at half time under a coastal deluge of rain, definitely giving the coastal team the upper hand. Capilano struck first and scored in the corner, just making the conversion 7-0. Manthers got a penalty

near the posts and Jeff Miller made the conversion 7 - 3. With 10 minutes left in the second half, Dan Gawley fended off two players and bowled over another to score under the posts. Andy Brock made the conversion. The Pigs tried to come back and sat on the Manthers’ five-yard line with a scrum. Brett Lord and the Gathergood boys, Matrix and Sterling, stole the ball while Ryan Penner, at scrum half, kicked the ball into touch. It was a goal line stance for the Manthers as the last effort by the Pigs tried but Brock, James Cookson, and Tyrone McCabe made the big hit, causing a scrum and game over. Second game on Saturday in the downpour was against Simon Fraser University. One SFU player had brilliant speed, being selected for BC U-23. He sliced a few times

NHL players to host Shuswap golf tourney Shuswap NHL stars Shea Weber and Cody Franson have announced that the first annual Sicamous Shootout Charity Golf Tournament to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation will be held July 13 at the Hyde Mountain Resort

Course in Sicamous. Weber and Franson say they will be joined by many of their NHL colleagues to raise money to fight cancer. Weber says he has been touched by the support of his fellow players. “Cody and I have

discussed doing this for some time and we are excited to get a group of good guys together for such a great cause. I know the community will rally around this event to make it a success and I am really looking forward to showcasing my home-

through the Manther defence. However, James Cookson managed to run the angle on him with his fitness and crunched him near the sideline before the SFU gazelle could score any more. Final score: Manthers 50 - SFU 28. The grand finale Sunday versus the Scribes from East Vancouver was even more impressive. In the first 20 minutes, the Scribes ran through the fatigued Manthers scoring three tries, mak-

ing it look easy. A halftime speech by Garrett Johnson and Jeff Miller rallied the young Manthers. Enough said, the group came out firing to score in the first five minutes with Cookson barging and bumping off the Scribe players to score in the corner. Jeff Smith from Kamloops ran from the Manther 22 all the way, dodging six Scribes to score under the posts, with Miller to convert. Driving a three-man maul towards the goal was led by Brett

Lord and supported by Graham from Enderby, scoring right under the posts. Wingman Wiliam Shaw made a brilliant catch on the Scribe’s 30-metre line. He offloaded to Greg Seed who fended off Mike Armstrong to score in the corner. Cookson and Seed were named MVPs of the game that ended up Manthers 38 – Scribes 15.

even more work and dedication. Stewart explains how these same courses taken by the general public would take about four months to complete. The chosen Air Cadets, all of whom are between the ages 16 and 18, will be completing the course content in just six to seven weeks. The courses the cadets will be taking are no easier than those taken by adults, says Stewart. In fact, because the courses will include all the same material in a reduced amount of time, they are actually considerably harder. The effort will be well worth it in the end, however, as successfully completing the courses means finally being able to take to the skies, which for some is a dream come true. The Annual Ceremonial Review also honoured Warrent Officer 1st Class Brian Ennis with the James B. Millar Memorial Trophy – reserved for the year’s top cadet. The squadron’s drill team prepared their own rifle drill performance to entertain the audience. This was the first year for this event and Stewart believed it went very well. Static displays were available for guests to peruse, featuring cadet training and flight operations. Many of the guests also decided to test out the flight simu-

Three air cadets may finally be granted what so many of us can only dream of, the gift of flight. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets 222 Shuswap Squadron gathered for their Annual Ceremonial Review on June 6 at the Shaw Centre. The event marked the end of the training year, honouring the many achievements of the city’s cadets. Warrent Officer 2nd Class, Jackson Calvert accepted a scholarship to attend a seven-week power-flying course in Victoria this summer. If all goes well, this course will result in Calvert receiving his Ministry of Transport Private Pilot License. Siblings Sgt. Andrew Stoney and Flt. Cpl. Cherish Stoney both received scholarships to attend the six-week glider pilot course offered this summer at CFB Comox. This course will give both cadets the chance to receive their MOT Glider Pilot License. In order to receive either of the two scholarships, the cadets had to achieve high grades at school as well as write the Federal Transport Canada exam (the same one required by all adults who wish to receive their pilots license). All information was then sent to a review board in Ottawa, after which all eligible cadets went through an intensive interviewing process in front of the review board, which consists of a member of the Air Cadet League, someone from the regional flying school as well as a military member. “It is a pretty tough process,” says Commanding Officer Geri Stewart. The hard work doesn’t stop with winning the scholarship. The three cadets are in for an intense summer which will require

ILA HAZEL ELLINGSON Ila Hazel Ellingson (Park) passed peacefully in Salmon Arm, B.C. on Friday May 25th, 2012. Ila is survived by her four loving children: Gail LeDuc of Sorrento , B.C., Jim (Ruth) Ellingson of Cranbrook, B.C., Bob (Barb) Ellingson of Victoria, B.C. and Faye Ellingson of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Her 11 Grandchildren, 21 Great Grandchildren and 4 Great, Great Grandchildren will miss her mischievous sparkle in their lives. Ila was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on May 14, 1916 to Alexander and Susan Park. Their family was a large one, common for those pioneering days, with two sisters and seven brothers. Her family homesteaded in the McKague area where Ila also attended school, being the first person to complete grade eight in the whole district. On October 11, 1935 Ila married Chester (Chet) Ellingson in Tisdale Saskatchewan. The newlyweds worked throughout BC on various jobs but the ranching lifestyle called them back to the interior of B.C. where they worked both the Gang and Douglas Lake Ranches. Both Chet and Ila had an entrepreneurial spirit and eventually opted to go into business for themselves running country stores starting in Alexandria in the Caribou, Hudson Hope in the Peace River, Takysie Lake in Mid B.C., and finally, Fauquier in the Kootenays. Ila was particularly fond of running the post offices that were attached to their stores and was also famous for her homemade pies that she made for the lunch counters. With all this multitasking it is no wonder that Ila instilled such a strong work ethic in her family. Upon retirement Ila still worked hard in her large gardens and, always athletic, also took up golfing and cross-country skiing. However, cards were always her favorite pastime and if you ask any generation in the family it is certain that she taught and probably beat them all with that lucky streak she had. Ila’s other loves were her country music and dancing. Her family and friends will always remember her for her mischievous sense of humor and the twinkle in those amazingly blue eyes of hers. The family would like to thank the management and staff of both Piccadilly Terrace and the Hillside Samaritan Home for all their kind caring of our mother/grandmother while she was in their care. A memorial service celebrating the life of Ila Ellingson will be held at the St. Mary’s Chapel in Sorrento, B.C. on June 30th , 2012 at 11 a.m. Online condolences can be sent through Ila’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

R.C. (BOB) WOODS October 28, 1919 to June 8, 2012

Woods, Robert Charles (Bob) born in Vernon, BC, October 28 1919, passed away peacefully with family at his side on June 8, 2012. Bob’s wife of 49 years, Eleanor passed away in the fall of 2010. Bob is survived by daughters Kerry and Bess; sons, Alex (Jane), Percy (Sharon): 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Bob was the last surviving sibling of the Woods family from Canoe Point, BC. Bob, brother Allan and sister Mary–Lou (Tapson-Jones) grew up in a very different era. Their upbringing was intimately tied to nature and the beauty of the Shuswap and to hard work on the family farm. That upbringing and its influence was evident in every aspect of Bob’s life. Whatever Bob did it had to be useful. But while he was busy working he would always take time to observe and admire nature and the beauty around him. Both Bob and brother, Allan were called up for the service in World War II, but neither were sent overseas. After the war Bob and Alan returned to work on the family farm and in their spare time they set out to build a boat. There was no road to Canoe Point then, a good boat was a necessity. They looked at buying the necessary lumber, saw how expensive it was, looked at the timber they had on their land and came to the logical conclusion to first build a sawmill. They built that mill sawed that lumber and built a beautiful 26 foot Cabin Cruise, the Mary-Lou. Bob would always say “after we built that boat everyone could see we were useful and we never had to look for employment.” After a successful letter writing campaign (pen pals) Bob married Eleanor Leitch in April 1961. Over the next five years Bob and Eleanor’s family grew with daughter Bess and sons Alex and Percy who joined Eleanor’s daughter Kerry. Bob supported his family working for Federated Co-op in their woodlands department for over 25 years. Bob’s primary job was as a log scaler but he was a handy guy and would be asked to help with everything from beach combing to bridge building. In his spare time Bob was a keen member of the Shuswap Naturalists Club and he got his children out on many a Naturalist trip and Christmas bird count. Bob and Eleanor shared a little house just outside of Canoe for over 46 years. After Eleanor passed away Bob moved to Hillside Village in Salmon Arm. Bob always tried to be as accommodating as possible. He kept up that spirit and his sense of humor in his time at Hillside Village. He truly appreciated all of the great staff at Hillside Village and how well they cared for him. His children are very grateful to the staff of Hillside. Bob was a man of honesty and integrity, he loved and was loved by his family. He also loved nature, hard work and a beer about 3:00 in the afternoon. He could fix almost anything, in his own way, and had a great sense of humor. Bob will truly be missed. A celebration of Bob’s life will take place June 30, 2012 at 1:00 pm at Mara Community Church, Riverside Road, Mara, BC. Online condolences can be sent through Bob’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

DEBORAH ANN TRACY (MORRISON) May 25, 1955 - May 31, 2012 After a courageous battle acy with illness, Deb Tracy 1, passed away May 31, 2012. Deb started her working career at The Alpiner Inn, and at FreDor’s Chicken, owned and operated by Fred and Doreen Melnick (most recently known as Eagle Pass Landing) before being hired at the e Eagle Valley News. It was as here she found her life’s ife’s work; having a natural talent for creative ad and page design. Her skill was amazing, and she was quick to learn new computer programs and new methods of design. She was completely comfortable with always changing technology, could master all things new in a heartbeat, whether it was a computer, a microwave or shopping on eBay. She embraced the Internet long before the rest of us caught onto it and, in turn, it opened a whole new world for her. Deb lived most of her life in the MalakwaSicamous area, with her parents, Henry and Nellie Morrison. Once she was transferred to the Salmon Arm Observer full time, though, it made sense for her to make her home in that community. Also, her life had changed dramatically with the passing of her parents and then her sister, Audrey. Deb was generous to a fault, and always made sure her friends and co-workers were celebrated on birthdays and other special occasions. Her loyalty to her friends and family was unwavering. Deb became a big hockey fan, and enjoyed being part of the Sicamous Eagles organization, jumping in to help in any way she could – from souvenir program production, to flipping hamburgers, to sitting in the stands and cheering on the boys. The year she took in billets was a fun time for her. She spoiled them rotten and her boys adored her. When one of them left behind a little kitten before going back home, she discovered she loved cats as much as she loved dogs, and adopted “Kitty.” She met the love of her life, Tim Tracy in June 2004 and moved to Salmon Arm in May 2005 to continue her career at the Salmon Arm Observer. Tim and Deb were married July 22, 2006 and Deb became step-mom to Michael, James and Shannon Tracy, and grandmom to Caitlynn and Dillon Tracy. Deb treasured Tim’s family and loved to shop for them at Christmas and birthdays. In her 33 years of working for the Eagle Valley News and Salmon Arm Observer, Deb showed a remarkable work ethic. Always on time, she had the coffee on for everyone else, was always working as quickly and efficiently as she possibly could and was incredibly passionate about her job. Deb was predeceased by her parents Henry and Nellie Morrison, and sister Audrey Smith. She is survived by her husband Tim Tracy, sister Donna Baldry, brother Larry Hedman, brother-inlaw Jim Smith, nephews John and Garnet Smith and their families, plus her step-family Michael, James and Shannon, plus grandkids Caitlynn and Dillon Tracy. A Celebration of Life was held on Thursday, June 14 at 11:00 am, in the chapel at Bower’s Funeral Home in Salmon Arm. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Salmon Arm SPCA would be appreciated.

North Okanagan boat patrols will focus on education and safety this year. The patrols, conducted by RCMP members and reservists, Transport Canada officials and conservation officers, have set a goal of having no deaths or serious injuries on the lakes and rivers in the area this summer. “It’s about boating safety for everyone and having fun on the water,” said Gord Mo-

lendyk, RCMP spokesperson for the VernonNorth Okanagan detachment. “You can encounter our officers patrolling the lakes of the North Okanagan and Shuswap.” The patrols will key on Kalamalka, Okanagan, Mabel, Sugar, Shuswap and Wood Lakes, as well as the Shuswap River, this summer. The focus will be on safety equipment, boat licences and vessel licences (the number on the bow). Boat operators must

produce their boating licence and picture ID and the paper work for the vessel they are operating. If not, a fine of $287 can be levied for failing to produce this paperwork Officers will be looking onboard for safety equipment including life-jackets, a whistle or horn, waterproof flashlight, a heaving line (throwing a line that can offer assistance to another boat or someone in trouble in the water), a paddle and a boat with an in-

board motor must have a fire extinguisher. Patrol officers want to remind everyone that you must be 16 years of age to operate a boat or a personal water craft, you need to produce your license, and the numbers are required on the bow of the personal watercraft. For more info on boating regulations, you can go to the Transport Canada website (www.tc.gc.ca) and look under boating safety.
