Shuswap copes with ﬂooding Evacuations: Some residents allowed to return home, water quality remains poor. By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

A mandatory evacuation order for Swansea Point was lifted Tuesday afternoon, but the order remains in effect for 2 Mile. Following an inspection by helicopter of Hummingbird and Sicamous creeks Monday, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP) rescinded the evacuation order for the Swansea Point subdivision. SEP warns in a Tuesday, June 26 news release that an evacuation alert remains in place for Swansea Point. With Highway 97A still closed at 2 Mile, Swansea Point property owners can get home by the highway from Grindrod. RCMP officers will be distributing packages to Swansea residents as they return home. As for 2 Mile, SEP states the evacuation order stands. Evacuees will be given an extension to the support they’ve received for accommodation, food, lodging, etc.

Buried: An SUV sits in a raging torrent of water which is coming down from the higher levels of Sicamous Creek. The creek overflowed Saturday and created a new channel, wiping out everything in its path. “Residents are asked to report to the Sicamous Seniors Reception Centre to complete extension forms,” states the release. Those unable to get to the centre may call

Shuswap Lake expected to peak today By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

A westerly flow of weather is bringing drier air and respite to the soggy Shuswap. David Campbell with the BC River Forecast Centre said Tuesday the level of Shuswap River was 349.4 metres and close to peaking. “We’re seeing nearpeak levels through the Shuswap and probably will have seen the peak on Shuswap River,” Campbell said in a media news conference

call Tuesday afternoon. “We’re just hitting Shuswap Lake peak; that will be happening today or tomorrow, but the lake will be keeping high levels for the next few days.” In terms of highelevation snowpack, Campbell says there is lots of snow and the melt is well under way, with his only caution being periods of extreme heat or heavy rainfall that could elevate flow. The Salmon River is in freshet but is well

below levels experienced in the early part of June – and well below levels of concern. Warning preparedness meteorologist Doug Lundquist says rainfall Saturday measured 23 mm at Environment Canada’s station near Marine Park wharf and 25 mm at the Salmon Arm Airport. As of Monday, rainfall for the month of June totalled 93 mm of rain at Salmon Arm’s Environment Canada station and 117 mm at the airport – well above

the average of 63 mm for the month of June. Lundquist said, estimating from the radar during the storms, the area reeived 30 to 45 mm of rain – possibly as much as 60 to 80 mm in some spots like Sicamous. “The rain was extraordinary, but the storm is gone and we’re moving into a drier pattern,” he says, noting it doesn’t mean there won’t be any rain this week, only that it See Canoe on page A11

But there’s basically nobody here; we’ve closed the park.” Trouton says the latest weather update shows there may be another 15 centimetres of rain in store, but assures the district can handle it. “Lives are safe, people are safe, we’ve had a day here to start to work on plans for infrastructure, temporary, when the evacuation order gets lifted… and that’s what we’re working on right now,” said Trouton. “So when it gets lifted, we’ll be back in there and have the people in place to assess all the damage

97A and through the neighbouring communities. Approximately 250 people were evacuated from Swansea Point and 80 from 2 Mile. Another 100 to 120 were houseboaters who lost their vehicles in the 2 Mile debris flow and have been unable to get home. “They went to the evacuation centre because their vehicles were gone. The highways are closed to their homes… so what do we do with them? We have to put them up. They have nothing,” said Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton. Trouton noted there were about five people in 2 Mile refusing to abide by the evacuation order, despite efforts by him, the RCMP and the fire department’s

effort to convince them to leave. He and Fire Chief Brett Ogino later heard, however, that a few more have since evacuated. Sicamous Sands residents are also on evacuation alert. On Monday, water from the Eagle River was breaching its banks while the lake was seeping over sandbags in front of properties on the foreshore, and behind properties on the lagoon. Sicamous Sands manager Ken Lapp was keeping a close eye on his water pumps and power, expecting them to go any minute. “We’ve got one lift station that’s just on the verge of crashing and that’s for here, and my power is living on borrowed time right now,” said Lapp, clearly exhausted. “The transformer is

Plant struggles to stay open By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Work continues at Federated Co-op’s plywood plant despite the water flooding the yard. “We are doing what we can to isolate power and keep the plywood plant running,” says Darrell Embley, vice-president of forest products for Federated Coop. “But it is pretty challenging conditions. If it comes up much further, well I just don’t know.” The plant remained in operation Tuesday, but the situation could change at any time. Power is out to the sawmill, which was not in operation, and to the office, which is now being run with generators. Embley says crews have been out sandbagging certain pieces of equipment in hopes of minimiz-

Interior. “It will likely be one to two weeks before we can get that going again,” says Embley. “It’s a struggle but our employees are good people. They are working full out and deserve a lot of credit.”

City’s water supply not in jeopardy OBSERVER STAFF

The flooding and high water hasn’t endangered Salmon Arm’s water supply, according to city officials. Robert Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, says because

the city’s water is drawn from an intake deep in Shuswap Lake, it has not been affected. However, water is no longer being taken from the other source, the Medford Dam Reservoir. With the high runoff, turbidity levels there are too high.

At this point there is no risk of water reaching the pump stations at Canoe Beach, he said, noting that the pumps which feed the system are inside the water treatment plant building. If it did, sand bagging would be the next course of action.

As for the sewage treatment plant near Churches Thrift Shop, Niewenhuizen said it’s far enough inland it hasn’t been affected. Water has infiltrated the system in some spots, he said, “but we’ve dealt with that on a case-bycase basis.”

Closed to ﬁshing McGuire Lake: Kids fishing program shut down after turtle hooked. By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

The kids fishing program on McGuire Lake has been shut down after a lake monitor witnessed a child hook a painted turtle. In response to concerns about the turtles being harmed last year, the City of Salmon Arm and the Fish and Wildlife branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations put in mitigation measures this year in an attempt to alleviate the problem. These included extending the dock farther out into the lake to avoid the prime turtle habitat, allowing only single barbless hooks, banning bait and hiring a person to monitor the area and enforce the fishing rules. It was this person who reported the hooking of the turtle last weekend to Steve Maricle, a fisheries biologist with Fish and Wildlife branch. The turtle that was caught was safely released back into the lake; however, Maricle says they take the situation seriously. “It’s early in the season and we felt we simply didn’t want the program to continue if turtles are being hooked. We gave it a shot but obviously even with the mitigation measures, it wasn’t enough, so we’ve shut it down.” The City of Salmon Arm has pulled the dock away from the edge of the lake, so people can no longer access it for fishing. The painted turtle is a blue-listed species, which means it is afforded protections under the Wildlife Act. “There seems to be something very unique about McGuire Lake. I’ve never heard of turtles being hooked anywhere before, but maybe because competition for food is greater, the turtles are more aggressive about going after these hooks,” says Maricle. No further trout will be introduced into McGuire Lake by the ministry. “It’s unbelievably good news,” says Leanne McIvor, who drew attention to the plight of the turtles and lobbied against the fishing program. “I was so worried about this program year after year and turtle after turtle. I’m very happy to see the ministry do the right thing and take seriously the welfare of a species at risk. I appreciate the honesty of the monitor who reported the hooking of a turtle.” Maricle says the ministry will be looking at alternative locations for the kids fishing program, including possibly using an area at Salmon Arm’s Marine Park wharf. Todd Hooper, who was assisting with the program and helped create some kids fishing lessons, says he was saddened to hear of the closure. “We’re pretty disappointed it was not continued for the whole year. It was one turtle, with one unbaited lure. I know there were a lot of kids down there having fun.” At city council’s meeting Monday, council officially authorized the suspension of the program. Coun. Chad Eliason was alone in voting against it and Coun. Debbie Cannon was absent. Coun. Ken Jamieson asked about the implications of the sterile trout continuing to grow in the lake. City staff are waiting to hear back from the ministry on that.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Sharing pearls of wisdom Tomorrow is Salmon Arm Secondary’s graduation ceremonies and hundreds of this community’s young people will be celebrating the milestone and heading out to make their way in the wide world. I love watching the grads every year, seeing them all spiffed up in their colourful finery. There’s something about the joy and promise that emanates from their eyes that gives me a lump in my throat every time. There’s a few times in life when everyone has an opinion and wants to offer advice — when you get married, become a parent but also when you graduate from high school. Well-meaning thoughts — it’s what valedictorian speeches (and parents) have been full of since the cave people celebrated a cave kid’s first kill. Those of us who have gone before find it hard to resist sharing our often hard-won wisdom. But a little advice can also go a long way. So in that spirit, I spoke to a few highly successful people in our area for their words of wisdom. Colin Mayes, the Okangan Shuswap Member of Parliament, pointed out that there are more important things than academic achievement. “Your skills and your academic learning is not more important than having enthusiasm for what you do. If you have enthusiasm, you will be successful.” Olympian Marcia Beckner is no stranger to success – or to hard work. Her advice? “Follow your dream... and work hard to make it happen.” Perennially cheerful and successful retired principal and coach Roy Sakaki suggests graduates try not to lose sight of what really matters to them. “Life is such a long journey after graduation, so find a career you will enjoy and don’t be afraid to change, always maintain close relationships with those who are important in your life, keep active and be yourself.” He also ends with a comment dear to my heart. “And keep your subscription to the Observer!” My own advice would be to never say never. At my high school graduation, I vowed never to get married, have children or live in a small town. I have now done all three and they have been some of the best choices I have ever made. In fact, be sure your mind is open to your “nevers” because sometimes they are what’s necessary. There was a time I also vowed never to work in retail, but when I was short on options, I was grateful for a job schilling soap at the Body Shop. It paid the rent and that is nothing to sneeze at, as many graduates will soon learn. Sometimes you have to be willing to take a path you didn’t really envision in order to keep moving toward your goals. My other piece of advice is simply to take a deep breath and savour this moment. The future will happen tomorrow.

Editorial

Assistance comes without question In times of extreme stress and uncertainty in the Shuswap, there are some things that do not change. The most important of these is that people in this area care about each other and are willing to help — going so far as to give the jacket off their back, a room in their home and a place at their table. One of the most telling moments of this was the sight of Waterway Houseboats employees working side-by-side with Twin Anchors. These companies may be in competition for tourist dollars in usual circumstances, but in this time of flooding crisis, these companies are made up of people with their values firmly in the right place. At such a time, it was all about helping each other, making sure no one was hurt, trying to salvage what can be saved and protect what remains.

One of the biggest blessings is that, at this point, no one has been seriously injured or killed. When you see the power of these raging torrents of water, it truly is remarkable no lives were lost. Kudos to the emergency personnel who have been working flat out for days on end helping with evacuations and trying to meet the needs of those who have been forced from their homes. Indeed a word of thanks is due to everyone in the region who has stepped up in some way to help another. It is a testament to the goodness of our residents that there are too many good deeds in a situation like this to try to count. But as we are well aware, the situation is not over and more work will be needed. The people of this region will continue to offer an amazing level of support. You can count on it.

The Observer asked:

How has the rain and high water affected you?

Barbel Newell “Our meadow is underwater and I have to wear my rubber boots everywhere.”

Bill Ferguson “I have to walk in water up to my knees along the dock just to get to my boat.”

Doug Adams “We had to sandbag our cabin over in Scotch Creek.”

Miriam Steiner “We haven’t been able to get the hay off because of all the rain.”

Ty Schielke “It’s thrown a real kibosh into everything with our construction work, especially with everyone’s schedules.”

Support for Political advocacy part of church role pesticide ban doesn’t waver The BC Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides released its report in May, which contained 17 recommendations to the government. Although these recommendations did not include an outright ban on lawn and garden pesticides, it’s important to note that the B.C. Government has not made a decision (and the special committee itself did not have consensus in arriving at these recommendations). The Canadian Cancer Society maintains that health should take precedence over lawns. It’s important to note that pesticide registration by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) of Health Canada does not mean that a pesticide is safe or without risk. When the PMRA registers a pesticide it means that risk to both human health and the environment is minimized—but not eliminated—if the product is used for its intended purpose and according to label directions. While a definitive cause-and-effect relationship between pesticides and cancer has not been established, the Canadian Cancer Society is very concerned about the growing body of evidence suggesting pesticides may increase the risk of several types of cancers, including non-Hodgkins lymphoma, multiple myeloma, prostate, kidney and lung cancers. Studies on pesticides and childhood cancer also show a possible connection with leukemia, brain tumours and non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Prohibiting the use of cosmetic pesticides is both responsible and respectful of the state of the scientific evidence. We thank the 40 municipalities throughout B.C., who have shown leadership by adopting cosmetic pesticide bylaws, and we hope B.C. municipalities will continue to adopt cosmetic pesticide bylaws. For our part, we will continue to urge the B.C. government to pass strong province-wide cosmetic pesticide legislation. Through action, information and policies we can take steps to reduce the risk of cancer and promote health. Patti Moore Team Leader, Health Promotion, Canadian Cancer Society, Southern Interior Region

In a recent interview on CBC Radio, Senator Nicole Eaton said, “I don’t think that churches should take political stands. I think they should be more about helping people and giving people succour.” During the interview, Eaton chose to single out The United Church of Canada as one she thought was involved in “political work.” The federal government is hammering home the rule that as a charitable institution we are not allowed to spend more than 10 per cent of our money advocating about how we live in loving community – because how we live together is a political conversation.

As Vancouver Sun columnist Andrew Coyne wrote recently, “Why should any charity be permitted to spend any money on advocacy of any kind?” Perhaps, as a church we might respond because, “the spirit of the Lord is upon us. He has anointed us to bring good news to the poor. He has sent us to proclaim release to the captive and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, …” (Luke 4:18) Proclaiming release is advocacy, letting the oppressed go free is love embodied. It is political and it is love. Being political is what Jesus was crucified for. It was this advocating love for the poor,

in the Christian tradition that motivated Tommy Douglas, a Baptist preacher, to champion universal health care with such passion. Similarly, faith motivated Nellie McClung in the struggle to win women the right to vote in Canada. Ultimately, public policy is about values and working for the common good. The voices of all Canadians should be welcomed. When a government representative suggests that the voices of churches should be silent, that should be a concern for us all. Rev. Juanita Austin First United Church, Salmon Arm

Palliative care preferable to euthanasia The BC Supreme Court has put Canada on a dangerous slippery slope. Justice Lynn Smith ruled in favour of granting Gloria Taylor the right to assisted suicide and giving Parliament a year to bring the laws, according to her interpretation, in line with the Charter of Rights. But it is precisely the charter and the Criminal Code S 241 that protects vulnerable people from having death imposed on them. Granting one person assisted suicide will clog the courts with more demands spurned on by the pro-death forces. Just recently, the federal government announced $15 million towards prevention of elder abuse. Seniors experience many forms of abuse – physical, physiological, financial and neglect. How much

more will they suffer when coerced into accepting death? What if someone stands to inherit a few million from Aunt Sue? In Washington and Oregon the demands for assisted suicide are eroding medical standards. Suicide is offered in place of treatment. A patient lived another 11 years after refusing assisted suicide. In Belgium and Holland people are killed without their consent. Safeguards serve to protect physicians. In 2010 Parliament overwhelmingly defeated a bill that would have legalized euthanasia. The attorney general of Canada needs to appeal Justice Smith’s decision. Who rules the country, nonelected judges or democratically elected parliamentarians? The decision about who lives and who dies cannot be left in

one person’s hands. Euthanasia erodes respect for human life and establishes killing as an acceptable solution. To withdraw or withhold treatment when the risk or burden is greater than its benefits is common practice. If pain is properly controlled, very few terminally ill people ask to be put to death. The World Health Organization says that 95 percent of pain can be eliminated or made bearable. Medical associations, including those in the European Union, around the world are rejecting euthanasia and assisted suicide. Canada should be a model to the world, providing the best in palliative and hospice care. Hildegard Krieg

Whose ‘agenda’ isn’t ideological? I don’t get this “ideological agenda” stuff, as if there was something wrong with it. Thinking people all have an ideology that they work from, the Conservative Party like everyone else. It’s not a crime. It is what we desire most for our high school graduates, that they have an informed opinion on issues, but we don’t expect them to all be the same. Why is the accusation presented for those in opposi-

tion to the government’s imperatives that they have an “ideological agenda?” So what? We don’t all have the same beliefs. In fact, I shudder at the thought. Ideological simply means that one has the same thinking as a group, surely that is not a negative thing, unless of course the thinking is different from yours. Does the government really think that having an ideology is any different from their

own having one? Oh, I guess it must be because it is the economic ideology that results in jobs. Mr. Harper always refers to the “Canadians” that he is acting on behalf of, as if they were all Canadians. Well they weren’t, and they aren’t. Take a look at the polls in B.C. Mr. Harper, I’d say you were losing ground fast. Bill Lytle-McGhee

It was reported the councils of those cities showed favourable interest in the plan

1929

For the second time in two weeks a large gathering assembled to work at creating Salmon Arm’s new lakeside park. While men and boys worked at the clearing, burning and levelling, members of the various local women’s organizations prepared food and refreshments. After supper, work was knocked off for a round of sporting activities.

1939

Some 130 delegates from Womens’ Institutes in the area, from Golden to Kamloops, and the Okanagan were meeting here. Tappen representatives desired law changes which would stop assessment hikes because homeowners carried out beautification, and Salmon Arm delegates thought it unfair that land taxes had to carry a major burden of education costs, but neither resolution won majority approval. The hospital board was considering an extension to provide extra space and a separate maternity department.

1949

Two new business buildings were being erected on Hudson street in Downtown Salmon Arm. The first, adjoining the property of Carter Agencies, was an office for Columbia Forest Products. The second was an office for lawyer Donald McTavish and for dentist Dr. Bert Letham who was moving here from Whitehorse, Y.T.

1959

Clyde Inouye topped his strong pitching performance with a triple and a home run to lead the Kinsmen to the 1959 Little League championship. District council agreed to begin the preliminary preparation for hard surfacing of the Picadilly-Rotten Row area.

He thought it was going to be temporary, but after almost 40 years and one retirement later, he still hasn’t fully given it up. Henry Bland began driving kids to school in September 1974, and immediately fell in love with it. Bland admits he certainly did not think he would stay as long as he did. “I never thought I would make a career out of it.” To those who know him however, it only made sense. Bland always had a love for kids, which according to Bland, is an extremely important quality in a school bus driver. “If you don’t like kids, you shouldn’t get this job,” he says, explaining how it makes the kids just as miserable as the driver. For Bland, the children are what make the job worthwhile. As he describes his daily routine, it becomes apparent that it is the little things that he cherishes most. “I always liked show and tell,” he says. “They always want to show you what they brought.” “One boy brought a bucket if worms,” says Bland with a smile on his face. “Isn’t that funny? No one can not see the humour in that.” When asked to describe some of his favorite memories, Bland could not narrow them down. “That’s really tough,” he says. “They are all good memories, I don’t really have a whole lot of bad ones.” The relationships he gained with each of the kids remains one great memory. Bland has watched students grow from kindergarten to graduation and in many cases into adults, who now have children that ride his bus.

CAVELLE LAYES/OBSERVER

Celebrating four decades of bus driving: Henry Bland had been driving kids to school for almost 40 years before his recent retirement. (Bland is holding the hat he was required to wear when he was first hired on in 1974). “I have even had grandchildren ride my bus,” he says. “You gain lifelong relationships with them.” During his career, Bland made a point of remembering every name of the kids who rode his bus. “I may not know their last name, but I do my best to know their first name.” He describes how one former student, who rode his bus from kindergarten right through to Grade 12, got on his bus on his final day of school. “It was his graduation day, he didn’t need to get on the bus. Most kids don’t want to ride the bus on their last day of school, you know. He did though, and he said it was because I drove him to his first day of school and he wanted me to drive him on his last day of school,” says Bland, with a wide grin. “That

felt pretty good.” When Bland first became a bus driver he was worried about not working in the summer months. He soon realized however, that this was the perfect setup for his family. In his off months, Bland would take them on camping trips, where they enjoyed hiking. Returning to his bus in September was always a treat for Bland. He enjoyed seeing how the children had changed. “They would grow so much,” he says. “Some would have changed their hair, others would just be so big you would hardly recognize them.” He says it was always exciting to see who was back on the bus and who was missing. Bland was one of the many drivers who helped create the original B.C. school bus drivers manual.

He also helped create a manual for driving instructors and taught the very first school bus driving course – with many more after. Bland continued to train, and test new school bus drivers until about 11 years ago. His love for the job has touched many people; not just students, but parents, teachers, and fellow drivers as well. Appreciation for his many efforts are evident in the large collection of cards, letters, pictures, and notices received from the school district, parents, and children over the years. All of these are kept safely in a scrapbook – a record of all his accomplishments. Every single Christmas and Valentine’s Day card, many of which are handmade, have been stored away. These include thank-you letters from parents expressing their gratitude to Bland for returning their children home safely and others saying how much they will miss him when his routes were changed. One little girl wrote a letter to Bland thanking him for waiting a little longer for her when she had broken her leg. Another boy secretly wrote to Bland telling him who ‘really’ spilled the ink in the back seat. Bland has kept everything, a sign of his love for his job, and his appreciation for the children he grew to know over the years. As of April Bland officially retired. Well, almost. He still appears on the spare board, taking over for other drivers when he can. When he is not delivering kids safely to school and back home again, Bland plans to spend time with his grandkids, and relax at home. “We might go on a few camping trips, but we will be living in permanent vacation.”

Stopped thieves After a short pursuit, two men were arrested in connection with the theft of items from the Dragon Boat Festival at Marine Park. On June 23, at approximately 2:26 a.m., Salmon Arm RCMP received a call from a citizen who had observed a suspicious vehicle near the Salmon Arm harbourfront. Police immediately attended and located the vehicle, an older blue Ford truck, on Marine Park Drive. When the police officer tried to stop the truck, two males exited the truck and ran. One adult man and one teen were arrested after a short foot pursuit and the truck was found to contain a large quantity of stolen property from the Dragon Boat Festival site. The men are residents of Blind Bay and both face charges of possession of property obtained by crime. Much of the property has been returned to its owners but some still remain in police possession. Police are requesting that the property owners contact Salmon Arm Detachment to arrange the return of their property.

Cocaine seized, teens arrested On June 25, at approximately 2:40 a.m. Salmon Arm RCMP were conducting foot patrols in the area of the Salmon Arm harbourfront and wharf when the officers observed two suspicious vehicles arrive at the wharf. Upon checking the vehicles the officers noted the odour of drugs from the occupants. A police check was conducted resulting in the location of drugs and drug paraphernalia. The drugs, including 16.7 grams of cocaine, were seized by police. One male suspect fled on foot but was located and arrested shortly after. A 19-year-old male and 17-year-old female, both residents of Kelowna were arrested and face drug trafficking charges.

Canoe Beach, boat accesses shut down Continued from front will be a lot lighter. “I saw the possibility of a storm Saturday, so we’ll have to watch that, but it’s just a completely different animal.” In Tuesday’s conference call, Lundquist confirmed the weather is drying out over the next few days and residents can expect daytime average highs in the 25-degree range, or a bit lower. “We’re not looking at any real accumulations of precipitation or extreme heat for the next few days.” That’s a relief for waterfront residents and for Salmon Arm Parks and Recreation manager John Rosenberg, who added the federal wharf at Canoe to the city’s list of closures. “We suspect there has been some significant structural damage to the fixed portion of the wharf, so we closed it Sunday night at about 8:30 and put up barricade and sign,” he says, noting the bathrooms at Canoe Beach were closed as well as the beach. City staff also closed the Marine Park boat access Monday morning because the ramp is now under water. And Tuesday morning, the city closed the Canoe boat launch because the dock is about to breach the pilings, rendering it unstable. “Once it starts going, things will start opening incrementally, basically pretty much in the order in which they closed,” says Rosenberg of the hoped-for outflow of the lake. “We’ll just hit the rewind button and go backwards.”

Hearts ﬁlled with gratitude On June 11, 2012, our treasured son, Andrew James Wilson, set off on another adventure to experience the magic of the Shuswap wilderness. His perfect day with a close buddy came to an end when he was swept over the Seymour Falls. Surrounded by spectacular beauty, his spirit soars. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the people of Seymour Arm, the Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue team, the Swift Water Rescue Team, Chase RCMP, the RCMP air service and the RCMP dive team who all dedicated many hours to the search for Andrew. The Salmon Arm RCMP and Victim Services were also most helpful. To our many friends, your love and caring continues to support us through this time of great sadness. A celebration of Andrew’s life will be held on August 4th in Salmon Arm . Memorial donations may be sent to the Shuswap Volunteer Search and Rescue Society, Box 3241 Salmon Arm, B.C. V1E 4N3.

Lake spills into campsites By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

On the water: Boaters on Shuswap and Mara lakes are advised to move slowly and be aware of debris.

Ofﬁcials ask boaters to use extreme caution By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

With high water in Shuswap and Mara lakes, boaters are being encouraged to be particularly cautious, both for their own safety and out of respect for foreshore residents. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District, through its Shuswap Emergency Program, is asking boaters to be aware of the height of the wake caused by their vessels and the impact they can have. A SEP news release states that with high water and flooding, “boats travelling at high speed and close to the shore can cause waves that increase the water level as much as two feet, resulting in increased flooding and damage to affected residents.” Boaters should also be cautious of the masses of debris currently adrift on both lakes. Sicamous

Sgt. Carl Vinet SICAMOUS RCMP RCMP Sgt. Carl Vinet cautions there is a lot more debris than usual in the lakes. This is the result of fast-flowing water from rivers and streams, which have picked up branches, deadhead logs and other detritus, and washed it all into the lakes. Debris from the shoreline has also been washed out by the high water. Pat Gau, deputy station leader with the Shuswap’s Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue crew, says it’s normal for debris to

wash out, as he’s seen in his past 25 years on lakes. But he calls this one of the busier years, and he too encourages boaters to be careful and courteous. “Things happen very quickly on the water and one has to be especially cautious of the debris in choppy water, especially with the logs and deadheads that are bobbing up and down – they don’t show up until you’re right on top of them,” says Gau. He also warns boaters to stay away from river mouths or give a wide berth around them, as that is where much of the debris is coming from. One more piece of advice is to be mindful of wind direction. Gau says if it’s an eastward wind, that is where the debris will be headed, in which case he recommends keeping to the west side of the lake.

The rising lake is curtailing the activities of summer camping enthusiasts. Both Pierre’s Point and Sandy Point campgrounds have been impacted by high water. Spokesperson Iva Jules reported Tuesday that Sandy Point has about half a dozen pumps going steadily while, at Pierre’s Point, the whole west end is under water. “They lost quite a bit of sites,” she said. However, the situation may change before the long weekend, so she suggests campers contact the camp-

grounds before making plans. At Pierre’s Point, call Greg Witzky at 250-371-2458 and, at Sandy Point, call 250832-3793. According to the BC Parks website, campers are encouraged to check back with the website to keep up-to-date with conditions. As of Tuesday, Shuswap parks that were listed as flooding were Cinnemousun Narrows, Herald, Shuswap and Juniper. Impacts included flooded roads, parking lots, boat launches, picnic shelters and docks. Parks staff and contractors have been monitoring the facilities. At Shuswap (Scotch

Creek) Park, the dayuse area, the boat launch and associated facilities have been closed temporarily due to high water levels. At Herald, the boat launch was closed.

Both parks and campsites were open and campsite reservations were still being honoured and taken. More information and flood advisories are also available on Drive BC.

Hazel and Jack Manser entered 11 of their 17 wines into the Northwest Wine Summit in Oregon in early May. “All 11 came back with a medal,” Hazel says proudly. The Siegerrebe, a very aromatic and fruity flavoured wine, was the highest placing wine, taking home gold. Hazel and Jack had no previous experience in wine making before purchasing Larch Hills winery seven years ago. “It was a definite learning curve,” says Hazel. The previous owners were able to teach them

many tricks of the trade but the rest they picked up on their own. Over the last seven years, the winery has expanded their product line from seven types of wine to 17, and increased productivity substantially. Larch Hills winery now has more than 15,000 plants on the property, all of which they tend to themselves. “People think that you just plant them and then wait until harvest, but there are many steps in between.” What is the secret behind their prize-winning wines? “It is because we grow our own grapes,” says Hazel. “They are grown without irrigation. This makes them grow naturally more concentrated.” Larch Hills has recently released three new wines, but the types are being kept secret for

Their products are available at local cold beer and wine stores or at the winery itself, which is open to the public for tours and tastings.

There will be a Community Celebration of Life held on Saturday, June 30th at 2:00 pm at the Sorrento/ Blind Bay Ball Park. Everyone is welcome. Feel free to bring your own chairs as well as food to share amongst everyone. There will be a memory box there for anyone who would like to write something to Pat and Cody who are still in Saskatchewan. All ﬂowers can be put at the entrance gate of the Janzen’s home. All donations can be put into the trust fund for Pat and Cody Janzen available at the Salmon Arm Savings Credit Union, Sicamous, Salmon Arm and Sorrento branches. Thank you everyone for everything and please pass this information on.

CSRD looks to ﬁll chair

OBSERVER STAFF

The death of longtime Columbia Shuswap Regional District director Ted Bacigalupo has created a vacancy on the regional district’s board. First elected to the board in 1999, Bacigalupo handily won his seat at the table for the fifth time in last November’s municipal election, and took on the role of CSRD chair for the first time. The regional district will begin the process of filling the vacancies at the July 19 board meeting, where directors will elect a new chair – and possibly a vice-chair. David Raven, mayor of Revelstoke and the appointment to the CSRD board, is current vice-chair and acting chair. If he decides to run for the chair position and wins, directors will then have to elect a new vice-chair as well. Also at the July 19 meeting, it is anticipated a chief elections officer will be appointed and the byelection process to fill the Electoral Area C South Shuswap seat will begin. “Under the Local Government Act, a chief elections officer must be appointed as soon as possible after a vacancy occurs,” says Carolyn Black, CSRD deputy manager of Corporate Administration Services. “And the voting date must be set no later than 80 days after the appointment, so the byelection would have to happen before Oct. 6.”

Council warned of dangers of cellular towers By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

The majority of city council members gave their approval Monday to the location chosen by Telus for a new cellular tower – but not without hearing the strong objections of several citizens. At the June 25 council meeting, Standard Land Company Inc. representative Kiersten Enemark told council that the 29-metre tower proposed for 1481 – 10th Ave. SW would allow Telus to fill coverage gaps in western Salmon Arm. Standard Land is representing Telus regarding land for the installation and operation of the radio communications facility. Enemark said only the centre of the city has high quality service now, and more people are using phones to import data, which requires more capacity. “What we’re finding is as the demand increases, the coverage shrinks... and you will have more dead spots,” she said. “The increase in demand burdens the network... and we want to stop deterioration of the network.” She said Salmon Arm will have an advanced communications network that first responders need in emergencies. When it came time to vote on the location, Couns. Ken Jamieson and Marg Kentel voted against giving their support, while the rest of council, except Coun. Debbie Cannon who was absent, voted in favour. Council has no authority over the decision – Industry Canada does – and was being asked only for input on location, not emissions. Coming later will be a 45-metre tower in the Lyman Hill area of Canoe and a 14.9 metre tower at 2890-10th Ave. NE (Highway #1). Kentel said she’d like to see data on emissions, while Jamieson noted that doctors and actors used to say smoking cigarettes was a good idea.

Enemark said emissions are low and are governed by Health

Canada’s “Safety Code 6.” During questionand-answer period,

several people voiced strong objections to cellular towers’ electro-

magnetic radiation and their potential for harm to human health. Coun-

cil was requested to take a number of steps, including holding a

public education forum and getting more information themselves.

Carbohydrates are a perfect source of energy for athletes drates such as glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltodextrin). Most energy drinks and bars do this already. What should I eat after an event? The best way to

HEALTHY BITES

Serena Caner Carbohydrates have gotten a bad rep of late; however, they are an important food source, especially for athletes. In research studies, high carbohydrate diets are associated with longer time to exhaustion (i.e. you can continue to exercise for longer), faster time trial performances (i.e. race times) and lower ratings of perceived exertion (i.e you feel less tired). In fact, it is recommended that athletes consume about 6-10 g of carbohydrate per kilogram body weight per day. For a 150 lb person, this translates daily to 400-680 g of carbs, or 6-11 bagels (if that was all you ate). What foods are carbohydrate? Grains, cereals, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, milk and yogurt are all mostly carbohydrate foods. What should an athlete eat before an event? Pre-exercise or precompetition meals should be rich in carbohydrate and fluid, low in fat and relatively low in protein and fibre. Fat and fiber slow down the rate of digestion and absorption of food. This could lead to discomfort during exercise. The goal of this meal is to prevent or delay hunger not to make you feel really full or bloated. What should I eat during an event? If your event is less than an hour, you should not need to eat. For longer events, consuming a dose of carbohydrates of about 0.7 g/kg/hour (or approximately 30-60 grams/hour) improves endurance performance. Intake should begin shortly after exercise begins instead of delaying consumption to the end stages of the event. For best absorption, use multiple sources of carbo-

hydrate (i.e. combine different carbohy-

replenish glycogen stores is to start immediately after exercise and continue over the next four hours after they have been depleted. This is important for athletes

who compete or train more than once a day or who do not have a full day to recover. For those who have time to recover, there is generally no difference in total muscle

glycogen replenishment if food intake is delayed a couple of hours or started immediately after exercise. Finally, it is important to note that these guidelines are more

for serious exercisers than the average dog walker. - Serena Caner is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital

Flood closes Blind Bay Road By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

Blind Bay residents are watching Shuswap Lake as rising lake levels have meant the closure of one road and high water is affecting waterfront homes. Residents are building up sandbag barriers in hopes that they will be able to protect their houses from any further harm. Blind Bay Road will

remain closed from Centennial Drive to Marine Way until the water level goes down as it is not passable by vehicle at this time. Residents can still access the Trans-Canada Highway through Balmoral Road, Centennial Drive and Cedar Drive. The Shuswap Emergency Program is advising people to drive slowly on other waterfilled roads. The public is still be-

ing advised to stay off local lakes unless it is an emergency situation. Debris, both floating on top and below the water surface, poses a serious threat to boaters, and the increased water levels may cause damage to existing docks. Reports have also been coming into the Emergency Operation Centres, of boaters creating wakes which are breaching protective barriers.

Lumberjacks extraordinaire By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

They may be welders, logger and farmers in the off-season, but when competition season comes around, these guys are worldclass lumberjack champions. Celista residents, Carson Bischoff and Mitch Hewitt, are well-known throughout the lumberjack circut. They are also champions within the sport. The pair have taken home more awards than they can count and neither is finished yet. This down-to-earth duo both come have families who compete. Carson’s dad, Karl Bischoff, began competing back in the ‘70s and, like his son, has won an extensive selection of awards. Carson also has a number of cousins who have tried their hand at competing over the years but no longer take part in the sport. Mitch’s father, Kerry Hewitt, and brother Lindsay Hewitt compete in Mitch’s home country of Australia. The family dynamic is a common thing in the lumberjack community, explains Carson. Before the use of heavy equipment such as fellor bunchers and processors, people had to do the work by hand. It was common to see families who would make careers out of logging, which made it easy to enter into lumberjack sports as a pass-time. Carson entered his

This, explained Carson, is how most kids get into it. “We started off with basic events and work our way up,” he said. “It is kind of like rodeo.” He now competes in every event he can. Lumberjack competitions consist of many different events including log rolling, standing block chop, underhand block chop and hot-saw competitions, among others. While the sports may look easy, they require strength, technique and endurance. “My favorite event is springboard,” said Mitch. “It is a more difficult

event because anything can happen. How you chop your block on top is largely affected by how well you cut your board holes. Messing up one board hole can change your outcome completely.” When asked why they like the competitions, both Mitch and Carson have the same answer. Mitch agrees. “It is actually what led me to meeting my wife of 10 years. I came over to Canada to compete in the circuit over here and met her at her dads (Karl Bishoff’s) lumberjack show in Celista.” Carson says that when competing across the world it is not unusual to stay at another competitors house.

Rolling: Carson Bischoff competes in one of the many log rolling competitions he has been in since the age of seven.

“It is a great way to see different cultures,” he says. Canada’s Lumberjack season begins May long weekend and continues until September. However, some people follow it year round, says Carson. “You can travel the world and keep going.” The two men and their families have done just that. They have been to Japan, Austria, Holland, USA, and across Canada competing. Mitch conducted demonstrations in Indonesia as well. “It is definitely a pretty cool aspect, being able to see the world just because I can swing an axe,” said Carson. Despite his many achevments, Carson still laughs in disbelief that people are willing to pay for him to attend their events. “I was once flown out to New Zealand just to climb a tree and show people how to run a chainsaw,” laughed Carson. “I try to make it a hobby but it often turns into a full time thing,” said Carson. “It can be very time-consuming.” Karl, Carson and Mitch all regularly compete and place at events each year.

Last year Mitch took home the title of world springboard champion for the eighth time (he has also come in second for the title six times in the past) along with multiple other firstplace awards. This family of lumberjacks has also broken a number of world records. They include Mitch’s four springboard records and Karl’s also broke a record in a standing block chop competition. Despite their reputations as fierce competitors, the guys remain humble. When not competing, Carson makes a living as a welder and Mitch works as a logger with Karl. They play ball and tend to their farms, relax with their families and live a fairly normal lifestyle. Mitch’s son Jake, has already taken up the family sport. His competing career began at the young age of five. Time will only tell if he will follow in his father’s footsteps and become a world champ. For anyone who would like to see the Shuswap champs in action, Mitch, Karl, and Carson will all be competing at the Stihl Timbersports Competition in Chase on July 14.

AN UNFORGETTABLE GOLF EXPERIENCE!

Outlaws take on B.C. The Shuswap Outlaws Midget Lacrosse team finished up their league season this weekend by winning the Thompson-Okanagan Midget Lacrosse League playoffs. The Outlaws, who were seeded first, received a bye into the semifinal. They drew the North Okanagan Legends and had a tough, hard-fought game which went to overtime. Shuswap went into the 10-minute extra frame with the score tied 7-7. Goals by Brodie Berg, Adam New and Paul Beevor-Potts powered

the Outlaws to a 10-8 victory. In the final against the Kelowna Kodiaks, Shuswap was down 6-3 halfway through the third period. Goalie Robert Letcher then shut the door and the offence responded with five unanswered goals to defeat Kelowna 8-6. Coaches Mike Berg and John Beevor-Potts were very happy with the results. “I am proud of these guys,” said Berg. “They have stuck together and played as a unit all year.” Earlier in the week, the Outlaws had quali-

Swimmers head for B.C.’s Provincials: Team now heads to AAA championships in Richmond. The Shuswap Swimming Team took four swimmers to the Swim BC AA Long Course Provincial Championships in Victoria June 22 to 24. Approximately 350 swimmers from throughout B.C. and the Yukon were there, and the Shuswap Swimming Team had a great meet. Paige Coutlee was

the only female from the team at the competition. She won the silver medal in the 100-metre backstroke, and the bronze medal in the 200-m backstroke and 100-m butterfly races. Olin Mosher led the way in the medal count, as he won four medals at the competition: gold in the 12-year-old boys 200-m individual

medley, 100-m butterfly and 100-m freestyle, as well as silver in the 50-m freestyle. Ty Webster-Locke also brought home three medals of his own, winning gold in the 12-year-old boys 50-m freestyle and bronze in the 100-m and 200-m freestyle races. Also racing to a pair of medals was Logan Pilias who won gold in the

14-year-old boys 50-m freestyle, and silver in the 100-m butterfly races. The icing on the cake for the team was that Ty Webster-Locke was able to swim fast enough in his goldmedal performance in the 50-m freestyle to qualify him to compete at the Swim BC AAA Provincial Championships.

Find out what’s hot... in the Classifieds.

In division three girls, Chantel Jeffrey and Claire Hall both broke the 50-m freestyle record. Jeffrey added another couple records on Saturday in the 100-m individual medley and the 50-m butterfly. On Sunday, the 100m fly records in division five girls and boys were both broken by Sockeyes: Tricia Fair and Brayden Gilliam. Fair followed up the 100-m record with a record in the 50-m fly as well. Jeffrey continued to break records, adding another couple in the 50-m backstroke

and 100-m freestyle. Moore added another 50-m breaststoke record to his streak this year. Lastly for records, the division one team of Julianne Moore, Abby Bushell, Rowan Trow and Matthew Bushell broke the 200-m freestyle relay record. Other outstanding performances on the weekend included division two Keeya Corbett, who continues to battle close competition and show time improvement. In division three, Emma Levins had a great meet with many

best times. Matthew Nesdoly continues to show his hard work in practice is paying off, winning many of his events in division four. New to competition this weekend were Maia Person, who competed in the six and under category but also tried out the division one backstroke event against older competitors. Megan Kormany challenged herself by swimming in all division two events and had great first-time performances. Kaelen Hougan worked hard in division four to show how much improve-

Likewise, Olin Mosher also achieved his AAA qualifying standard the next day in his gold medal win in the 100-m freestyle. The next swim meet for the team will be the Swim BC AAA Provincial Championships in Richmond on July 5 to 8, where teammates Bree Cooper and Jake Kitchen will also be competing.

Lightning swim meet well-named The Lumby Lightning Swim Meet lived up to its name this past weekend. On Saturday, the outdoor meet went on during constant rainfall with two delays due to lightning strokes; the second forcing the postponement of one event and the cancellation of relays that day. Despite the weather, the team’s performance still shone. Stephen Moore continued to dominate division two boys and broke records in the 100-m individual medley and the 50-m freestyle.

ment he has made this season. Paige Bushell, the youngest Sockeye, also swam her first ever “turtle” race. The Sockeyes won most points overall, with 916 points for the weekend, which included most points in boys and girls events separately and most points for mixed relays.

Ahoy Mateys – there’s pirates among us! Captain Billie Louie and the Pirate of the Shuswap sets sail July 1 at R.J. Haney Heritage Village. As always, this year’s edition of the highly successful Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre production, ties in with the current exhibition in the village museum. The exhibit, “Billie Louie, the Last of the Shuswap Riverboat Captains” features a first-generation Canadian, born in the settlement of Shuswap, near Chase. Given the name Wee Lee by his parents Ah Chew and Lau Sze, William, as he was known at school, left his studies to work for the Adams River Lumber Company when his father died in 1906. In preparation for his adventures on Little Shuswap and the bigger Shuswap Lake, he earned his engineer’s and master’s papers, owned and operated his own boats, the Sea Tractor and Tillicum, and also took the helm of the Crombie, Andover, and CR Lamb for his employers. The exhibit explores Louie’s life as a successful and respected businessman who served many communities as an entrepreneur, school board trustee, Rotarian, husband and father. And it provided a wealth of information for playwright and songwriter Peter Blacklock, who has written Haney’s last two successful summer productions. “He had quite a history, he got them to rebuild the bridge at Pritchard so he could get his boat through,” laughs Blacklock. “He

was a very interesting character.” Blacklock says he writes the dinner theatre productions by reading as much historical information on the subject as possible. Then he turns to museum curator Deb Chapman, who delves even farther into the subject. “I like to have enough sprinkling of information in each production so the audience knows a bit more when they leave – a dozen things they didn’t know before,” he says. “Then we start inventing things because the story, while it is interesting, is not one that will keep audiences entertained for 45 minutes. We invent things that skirt around the truth to add some flavour.” Blacklock, who also writes the music to accompany his plays, says Chapman and village manager Susan Mackie have been wonderful to work with because they allow him flexibility with the truth – as long as he doesn’t tell an outright lie. Based on the historical fact that the Women’s Catholic League used to hire a sternwheeler for moonlight cruises from Salmon Arm to Sicamous and back, Blacklock tops it up with romance. “On this particular cruise is a young man and women; he has just come down from a work camp,” he says of the play set in 1933 in the middle of the Great Depression. “He’s up at Wa Wa working, he comes home and is out on a moonlight cruise with a girl he loves.” The couple sing a love song about being on the bridge of a sternwheeler. But romance is dampened when, at the conclusion of the song, Cinnemousin Sam, the nastiest pirate on the lake takes over the ship. “It’s really quite silly,” laughs

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Singing for supper: Playwright-composer Peter Blacklock watches Hannah Gomme, Caleb Makortoff, Aidan Sparks and Alaura Bibby perform a number from his new production. Blacklock, who is thoroughly enjoying working with the material, Haney staff and the talented students who bring the production to life – Alaura Bibby, Hannah Gomme, Caleb Makortoff and Aidan Sparks. “They are so talented they give the creator so much room to move, knowing the actors will be able to work with whatever they get,” he says. “I always thought of myself as a high-energy person and they are three levels above me – they just go.” New to Blacklock, as it will be to the audience, is the amphitheatre. While the former small space beside the village school was limiting, people understood and accepted that. “Now we have a big space, we’ve got to fill it,” he says. A retired drama teacher, who worked in several areas of the

province, Blacklock’s playwriting began when he couldn’t find plays suitable for the group of children he was working with. “I started writing and I found it was actually more fun doing it that way than doing somebody else’s play,” he says. “I was never sure I could do a play that adults would enjoy, but when Emily (A Shuswap Theatre production based on the life of Emily Carr) went up, it was special.” Blacklock’s association with Shuswap Theatre began when Shirley Tucker was producing the play Sowing Seeds in 1996. “I saw an ad in the paper and I went down to audition,” he says. “They were all young people and I thought, ‘I don’t belong here,’ and Shirley said, ‘why don’t you direct it?’” Blacklock continues his happy association with the theatre group

in several ways, including a new program coming in the fall. Senior theatre has been very successful in the Cedar Centre and Blacklock will introduce the twohour fun workshops to Salmon Arm and Sorrento in the fall. “Seniors theatre is one of the fastest growing programs in the U.S.,” he says. “It allows people to be creative and is physically and cognitively creative and stimulating. And it opens social relationships with people they didn’t know before.” Blacklock’s production of Captain Billie Louie and the Pirate of the Shuswap opens July 1 with dinner at 6 p.m. and dessert to follow the play. Tickets are $24 for adults, $21 for seniors and $14 for children under the age of 13. Reservations are a must and they can be made by calling 250-832-5243.

Songs from Down Under Every two years, the small coastal city of Powell River hosts the International Choral Kathaumixw (pronounced Ka-thowmew), a festival that attracts 1,200 singers. After five days of the festival, some of the choirs tour the province. That tour will stop in Salmon Arm, when the Murwillumbah Philharmonic Choir performs at 7:30 p.m. at First United Church on Tuesday, July 10. Kathawmixw originated in 1984, when Don James dreamed of establishing a choral festival similar to those in Europe. The festival has grown

annually, has commissioned choral works, features artists-in-residence, internationally renowned soloists and a distinguished jury. Kathaumixw is a Coast Salish word meaning a gathering of different peoples. Salmon Arm has been hosting Kathaumixw touring choirs since 1988. Choirs from such diverse countries as Finland, Spain, Australia, Slovakia, Poland and Kazakstan have enjoyed the warm Shuswap hospitality and shared their beautiful music. An internationally acclaimed all-adult choir, Murwillumbah hails from New South Wales,

Australia. The choir was created in 1923 and has 75 members ranging in age from 16 to 80. Performances range in styles from baroque oratorio to jazz favourites, as well as folk and modern.

See Todays Answers inside

ARIES (March 21 - April 19): There are moments that stand out in our minds for their drama or defining potential. You can sense this moment coming on for you now. It is part of a larger process. Welcome it, without expecting all the answers to come in. Creative responses reveal the best youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got in you. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): You could feel close to someone for years, and still have moments when his or her behavior shocks you. The most familiar have a way of bringing forth the greatest surprises. Find equalibrium once the light arrives. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): There are rare celestial moves taking place, and your sign is hosting the party. Sure, there are tough moments, but you, in your own heart, are adamant about the abundance of opportunity available to you. Your expectation brings a gutsy move and delightful progress. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The act of letting go is love.â&#x20AC;? What Oprah meant is that love requires surrender and trust. It needs freedom to roam while knowing there is a soft place to come back to. This is the love you need now. You feel anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tight grip. Ask for space in gentle terms. LEO (July 23 - August 22): ith Mercuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move into your sign, you see an expansion and more activity, especially as you go about your day. You are at the beginning of an important phase that will ask you to believe in possibilities and define yourself in more empowering terms. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): An opportunity arives with sheer delight, and you jump frantically to make the most of it. To show your best, you will have to demonstrate calm and confidence. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not nerves, it is excitement. Use it to your advantage as you prepare for even bigger career progress to come.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): If you were to look around and see who is still in your life and who went wayward, chances are, you would be grateful for the relationships that lasted, but especially for those that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Someone might want to make an exit now. Soon, you will be glad for it. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Big changes are taking place, individually and collectively. This is evident in your life, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re conceding with two different forces pulling you at once towards the new versus the secure. Balance might be a way off, but you can use this feeling as fuel to your best efforts. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): Some say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surrounded by angels, constantly encouraging every step we make to improve our lives. You can feel yourself moving towards a greater sensitivity, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet know how to use it to your advantage. It will be revealed in time, for now, connect. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): As the Sun slowly steps across Pluto in your sign, already in conversation with Uranus, you feel the pressure build. You want progress, but you realize knowledge isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough. Let dissatisfaction fuel a bold step towards success. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): Your modern ruler, Uranus, moves into the first of seven precise conversations with Pluto. Now and the coming three years will change you dramatically. As your life has already shown you, the truth will always set you free. Embrace the information that finds you. PISCES (February 19 - March 20): With Neptune and Jupiter, in conversation this week, little is likely to make sense, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push understanding. The best strategy is to dream and give yourself a few days. Reality eventually sets in, allowing balanced choices.

IONE KEMPTON Ione left us suddenly but peacefully, surrounded by family on June 22, 2012 at the age of 83. Healthy, happy and full of vitality to the end, she loved life and lived it well. We now say goodbye to a special woman who touched many lives along her way. Ione was born on a farm in Saskatchewan in 1929 to George and Margaret Wheeler and when she was two her family moved by wagon train farther north during the Depression. They returned to the south and settled to farm in Macoun, near Weyburn, with her sister Helen and brothers Gerald and Duane. Ione had small town values, but city-sized dreams! She took nurses training and worked in the Weyburn Mental Hospital before meeting Jack Kempton. They married in Nelson, BC in 1950 then eventually landed in Calgary & raised three active girls. Ione devoted her life to her daughters for years before returning to work in retail. Friends always played a vital role in her life, too. The family spent many holidays camping and visiting family in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. In 1979, she and Jack moved to Salmon Arm, enjoying the small town life and closeness to Jack’s family. Gardening, skiing, trips to Mazatlan, fishing and camping with many wonderful friends and family were their passions. They moved to Sorrento in 1994, taking up tennis at Cedar Heights and a new group of friends filled their lives with joy. Ione also loved to play bridge and when Jack passed away in 2008, she joined duplicate bridge which challenged her and appealed to her competitive spirit. Ione’s life was enriched by all those she met during her various activities and walking her special little dogs at Sorrento Park. She will be missed by those she shared her life with. Ione is survived by her three daughters Cheryl (Rick) Semenzin of Sunnybrae, Deb Phillips of Calgary, and Pam (Jim) Donaldson of Notch Hill and her grandchildren Brett and Dustin Semenzin and Janelle and Wesley Phillips. She was so very proud of her grandkids! We will cherish the memories. No formal service will be held at Ione’s request but the family is planning a celebration of her life later this summer. We hope all her friends will join us. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, 2001212 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6H 3V2 or BC SPCA Shuswap Branch, 5850 Auto Road SE, Salmon Arm, B.C.

PEARL SHAW-MACLAREN On June 03, 2012, I lost my mom, Pearl Shaw-MacLaren. Mom had always been my bright guiding light, though that light dimmed when my dad Ramsay, passed away three years ago. Mom was born Margaret Prentice on July 08, 1924 in Hamilton Scotland. Her parents, Tom and Nan, immigrated to Canada in 1928 with her brothers Tom and Bob and they settled in Coldstream, where grandpa worked as an orchard foreman and sister Isobel and brother Gord were born. Mom worked in the Post Office until she was the first woman from Vernon to join the Woman’s Royal Canadian Naval Service and was stationed at Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. Mom told me many stories of her cross-Canada train trips on leave. According to an old diary entry, mom met my dad at a dance in Oyama where his parents lived and they were married on May 24, 1947. They lived in Vernon and Dad began working for BC Hydro. I (their only child, Lynne) was born in 1951. BC Hydro transferred Dad to Salmon Arm in 1956, where they made it home for the rest of their lives. A volunteer program through the Kinette Club in the late 1950’s lead to a real job at the Health Unit which lasted until 1985. Mom did everything well, great cook, excellent seamstress, gracious hostess and I still have sweaters that that mom knitted for me. I’m not sure mom loved gardening quite as much as dad but that didn’t mean mom didn’t pickle, can or freeze everything dad grew. In contrast to her basically Scottish sensibilities, mom loved to go to Reno, twice a year for over 25 years, mom went with her mom, her good friend Frankie Fraser, my dad and even I got to go with her on the last few trips. Mom took some wonderful vacations with Frankie to Nashville, Las Vegas a Panama Canal Cruise all which Frankie chronicled in albums that made you feel like you were there, too. Mom was crucial to me opening my Salon in 1981, where she was my “gofer”. Daily visits to deliver mail, fold towels, get change and sweep floors kept us “ship shape”. When it became necessary for mom and dad to leave their house, the Shuswap Lodge became their home. Mom’s love of music continued there enjoying lots of entertainment and sing-a-longs. Mom’s memory might have faded for some things but she never forgot the words to a song. I want to express my deepest-thanks to Jane, Grace and their caring staff at the Lodge for always going above and beyond. I also want to thank Dr. Venter for making the final days of both my parents as easy as possible and the wonderful nurses at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for their compassion and support. There will be no service by request. Goodbye Mom, may you dance with Dad forever, Love Lynne. Online condolences can be sent through Pearl’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

STEPHENS, ALLAN CRAIG December 1, 1953 - June 10, 2012 It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our brother (in many ways) Allan Craig Stephens on June 10, 2012. Allan had a long and difficult battle with cancer and yet he managed to stare down the disease, laugh at himself and take joy in whatever he was able to do until the battle became too great. He passed peacefully at his sister’s home in Kamloops, with family and friends flowing in and out stopping for a visit. Allan was born in Saskatchewan to Gerald and Lorraine Stephens (both deceased) but was raised by his maternal grandmother (Gladys Hammond, deceased) who still had much love to give her grandchildren who included Lois Stirmlinger (nee Hammond). Allan grew up surrounded by a large and very close immediate and extended family. Allan enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force at the age of 21 and served in the forces for 20 years. He felt a sense of accomplishment through the trade of Avionics Systems Technician and he enjoyed the traveling afforded him in the forces. Allan retired from the forces with the rank of Warrant Officer. He travelled throughout BC and enjoyed his family and friends. Allan continued in civilian life applying his trade in Kelowna for a time. Allan said he had one regret that he did not travel more after his retirement from the Forces. Projects such as building a new home or renewing an old one was a passion of Allan’s as was a good garage sale or a time spent with friends at the casino. But what he loved the most was being surrounded by good friends and family; meeting potential new friends; sharing a little Jack; the sunshine and little furry friends too. Allan will be missed most of all for his quick wit and sometimes slightly off, good humour. There was not a phrase or song he could not turn into a laugh. Allan is survived by his adopted sister Lois (Walter) Stirmlinger; brothers Dean (Carol) and Wayne (Bonnie) Stephens; sister Debbie (Dale) Clark; cousins Hope LaRocque (Dennis); Aunties Joyce Wilcox; Roberta Hospederic; Edith (Len) Cowie; Trudy (Kerry) Miller; Uncle Albert (Gladys) Wymer and numerous other cousins, nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. He will be missed by all of his family, friends and acquaintances be they human or furry. A Celebration of Allan’s Life will be held at brother Wayne’s in Kamloops Saturday, June 23rd. Allan’s ashes will be laid to rest in Quesnel on July 21, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. at the Quesnel Municipal Cemetery on Quesnel-Hixon Road, where he will join his Mom and dad, brother, cousins and uncle who have preceded him. The family would like to send a special thank you to Hope LaRocque (Dennis) who shared their home and cared for Allan for years and to Wayne (Bonnie) Stephens who did the same and took care of Allan’s mechanical needs. We would also like to thank Dr. Proctor and the staff at the Kamloops Cancer Centre; the Community Care Nurses and Home Support; Hospice Volunteers; the Canadian Red Cross; Veteran Affairs, Dr. Farrell and his staff; Schoening Funeral Home who all helped Allan “Do It His Way” and allowed him to do it with dignity. We Love you Allan and we will Miss YOU! Condolences may be expressed at www. schoenings.com

SHIRLEY MARGURETTE STEWART It is with sweet sorrow and sadness that we announce the passing in Piccadilly Care Centre of Shirley Margurette Stewart on June 20, 2012 at the age of 84 years from complications of Alzheimer’s. Shirley leaves behind to mourn her, four children, Evelyn (Bob) Turner of Sicamous, Carol (Ron) Tyssen of Salmon Arm, Douglas (June) Stewart of Salmon Arm and Donna (Brian) McMillan of Kamloops; eight grandchildren; Michelle, Shannon, Kim, Brad, James, Ashley, Melanie and Bryce; nine great-grandchildren; two sisters, Joyce (Jim) Johnson of Salmon Arm and Arlene Brown of Salmon Arm, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Allen and Ellie Ellis, baby James Allen and husband Lloyd. Shirley was born in Victoria, British Columbia on July 15, 1927, the ﬁrst of three children. At the age of 7, she and her family moved to Salmon Arm and settled in Gleneden where they felt at home with many other Finlanders. Shirley attended school in Gleneden and Salmon Arm until Grade 10 after which she took a job at the Salmon Arm Farmers Exchange next to her best friend Mamie Hill. It was during that time that she met the love of her life, Lloyd Stewart and they married in July of 1948. Together they farmed a property in the valley that is now known as the DeMille Corn Farm. This property supported the family as well as Lloyd working for NOCA Dairies. Shirley did more than her share of work on the farm and volunteered in the community in which she loved so much. As a young mother, Shirley’s life was busy with farming, raising a family and volunteering with the Valley Women’s Institute. She loved working side by side with the other ladies of the Women’s Institute and spent many hours laughing, cooking, baking and creating a close camaraderie that bonded their lives. Shirley also volunteered with many other organizations throughout her life such as the Farmers Institute, Royal Purple, Pioneer Lodge, March of Dimes, Graduation Breakfast Committees and the Breast Cancer Mammography Screening As much as Shirley was involved with volunteering, she loved entertaining family and friends in her home and she was the best hostess of all. She also embraced the many friends that were involved with her in curling, golf, Shuswap RV Camping Club, and life in general around Salmon Arm. Shirley loved family and community. Her love, laughter and giving nature will be truly missed. A funeral service will be held at Bower’s Funeral Home, June 28th@ 2pm. with Reverend Fred Duck ofﬁciating and a tribute presented by cousin Mervin Maki. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Piccadilly Care Center, especially Blackburn Lane, for their kind and compassionate care of Shirley. If so desired, contributions in memory of Shirley may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society or to the charity of your choice. Online condolences can be sent through Shirley’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

ALMA ADELINE KING Jan. 1, 1922 - June 17, 2012 It’s hard to believe our mother and grandmother has passed on. Alma Adeline King (nee Holland) has joined her husband, Orville King, her parents, Daniel & Pauline Holland and her siblings, Hilda (Baltakis), Irene (Folland), Leonard, Arnold, & Richard Holland. She was a New Year’s baby, born Jan. 1/1922. Every trip to Mabel Lake revealed another story from her childhood. They were homesteaders, not strangers to hard work and living off the land. Life was difficult, but they knew how to make the most of it and Alma in her strength and stoic nature offered this to family and friends. She was an amazing self taught seamstress. Her grand children were blessed with clothes she made, from pajamas to prom gowns. Her green house produced trays of plants for all of us. Her knitting kept us warm and a visit from Grandma included bags of homemade perogies and baking. She combed through flyers and knew a good deal. When sugar, flour and soup were on sale, we’d receive it on our next visit. Her children, Jim King and Margaret Bloor-King and her grand children, Mandy King, Jason King, Susan Bloor and Melanie Pinet were blessed with the generosity, love and support of this wonderful woman. She had the ability to put out abundant amounts of good food in a short time, from cooking at Ferguson’s Sawmill at Sugar Lake, to helping with Meals to Wheels and beating up pancake batter for OAP Pancake breakfasts. She was awarded a Life Membership in the British Columbia Old Age Pensioner’s Organization, Lumby branch, for her loyal, dedicated and devoted services. Alma always loved playing crib and met her match playing with her friend, Pat Mackie. They kept a tally of games and shared in a lot of laughs. We celebrated her ninetieth birthday at Eagle Valley Lodge in Sicamous, her home for the last year of her life. She had hopes to make it to 100 but an infection hospitalized her and complications were too great to overcome. The family would like to thank Dr. Beever, Dr. Lourens, staff at Bastion Place, Salmon Arm and the Eagle Valley Housing Society of Sicamous for helping us care for our mom. As requested by Alma, there won’t be a service. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.

Guardian of the garden The ﬁrst thing you will notice when you come up the drive, is the beautiful pot of pink dahlias that greet you. The next is the all the rock work that make up various spaces in this yard. Garden edging has been used in very unique ways to create different focal points. Hostas, in different varieties and sizes, along with ceramic ﬁgures, stand along side roses, clematis, dianthus, petunias and phlox. A great use of shrubs balance this garden out extremely well. This garden is sure to have an expanse of colour and a changing look all season long. Perched at the top of the yard in an arbor sitting space is a gargoyle, keeping an ever present eye on the land.

— By Sherry & Laura, Salmon Arm Observer
