No green light for camera

Ministry: Approval still on hold for intersection. By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

The B.C. government appears committed to not committing to putting up an intersection camera in Salmon Arm. The latest piece of correspondence related to the city’s ongoing pursuit of a camera at Alexander Street and the Trans-Canada Highway came to council in the form of a letter from Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure area manager Peter Gooch. The letter states the ministry would be pleased to assist in the camera’s implementation but its traffic safety branch has not yet been contacted regarding site selection. “Once our traffic branch has a better understanding of how Alexander Street was selected, over other intersections along the arterial, they would be better prepared to provide comment on the city’s request for signage,” writes Gooch. Coun. Debbie Cannon called the letter a disappointment, stating the city appears to be facing more bureaucracy and red tape. “Maybe, after my third term of being on council, perhaps we might see an intersection camera,” said Cannon. Coun. Alan Harrison commended Cannon for understanding Gooch’s letter, which left him with questions. City administrator Carl Bannister agreed the letter is worded awkwardly and guessed that, in his above comment, Gooch is saying the ministry doesn’t want to put a sign up until a camera is in place. Harrison then asked if the ministry is looking for feedback on why Alexander was chosen. “I mean, to me it would be pretty obvious that Alexander is the place where we would want it because of the pedestrian route there,” said Harrison. “Are they asking us for some input as to why we picked Alexander?” Bannister said he thinks the ministry is ex-

Meeting the people: Shuswap MLA George Abbott listens as Premier Christy Clark speaks to a number of issues and answers questions at a town hall meeting held Monday at the Comfort Inn in Salmon Arm.

Clark tackles pipeline By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

She came, she spoke, she answered questions. A confident Premier Christy Clark spoke to a room full of receptive women Monday in a Women’s Town Hall meeting at the Comfort Inn. “One of most important things we can do in government is talk to each other, and the way to do that is to listen,” she said, noting she likes to invite women to meetings

when she travels the province because women see things differently. “If we do want to change governments, we have to change the way they do things.” Clark launched into her recent experience at a premier’s meeting in Halifax where she protested the proposed Enbridge pipeline. “There are all kinds of environmental issues and we don’t have a spill response in B.C.,” she said, noting people from across the world visit

this province because of the spectacular scenery and clean environment. “It has to meet the environmental review process and it has to get First Nations approval.” Clark also insisted the project would have to provide benefits to the people of B.C. “My fundamental premise is if we want parents to do the hardest job, raising kids, we have to provide jobs that can provide for families,” she said. “I’m not willing to take this risk in our province

if we’re not gonna benefit by more jobs and more revenue so we can support health care and education.” While she maintains the future of the Alberta pipeline may be in question, Clark said five pipelines are being built in northern B.C. to carry natural gas to the Coast for processing, before it is frozen and shipped to Asia.

New jobs top list of concerns Continued from front Clark stressed the need to “continue to harvest the power of free enterprise, the power of the private sector.” This prompted audience member Joan Sturdy to ask if the province has any plans for alternate energy. Clark enthusiastically responded that since 2005, new incentives and policy changes have led to B.C. becoming the “third biggest cluster” of green energy anywhere in the world. “I know the carbon tax is not popular outside of urban ares, but in its defence, it has been a large part of attracting people (experts) from all over the world,” she said. “We’re trying to sell our intellectual product and clean energy, and natural gas is a low-risk commodity to move, while bitumen is not, it’s the heaviest of the oils.” Financial advisor Coralie Tolley expressed concerns about the number of families leaving the area and the potential for more to go without the creation of new jobs. Clark responded that B.C. has the second best job-creation program in the country with 61,300 new jobs – most of them full-time. She agreed that while bigger centres like Kelowna and Victoria are booming, smaller centres like Sicamous have experienced a decline over several years.

Delays frustrate council Continued from front pecting the city to do more work to show that a camera is warranted, and that it’s warranted at that intersection. “The thing about that is that we have done lots, so I guess we will continue trying to let them know that,” said Bannister. Harrison said he’s appreciated the work staff has done, and he suggested council

bring this latest correspondence to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention where they will meet with Solicitor General Shirley Bond. “This has been going on for too long,” said Harrison. “If they don’t want to put a camera in, they should just say ‘no, we’re not going to do it.’ That’s the answer, OK, then I get it. But we said we’re going to pay for it, we’ve told them where we want it, we’ve done

all the work. I’m okay with a straightforward kind of an answer, but I don’t think this is very straightforward.” The same letter from Gooch also responds to a request for a reduced speed limit for transport trucks travelling into the downtown core. Gooch says the ministry is unable to support a speed reduction to 30 km/h – ministry policy supports a 50 km/h minimum within a municipality.

Clark insisted her government plans to make sure the next generation can provide for the people they love. “George has a great vision – individualized learning – what is it you want? What is it you’re passionate about? Surely we can do that in this high-tech society,” she said. After the meeting, Clark dismissed recent polls and while she agreed there are things her government could be doing better, she believes voters will choose the Liberals next spring. “I think people feel like they have not been listened to; there are lots of legitimate reasons...,” she said. “When people really tune in, they will ask themselves do they want to carry on creating jobs in B.C. and see a natural gas opportunity of a lifetime come to fruition, or do they want to take a different path?”

Bear presence remains Conservation: Wildlife staying at lower elevations. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

The tape is down and the South Canoe Trails are open again. And while a suspected aggressive black bear has been killed by BC Conservation Officers, the area is ideal bear habitat. Brian Harris, a wildlife biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ Fish and Wildlife Branch, says he would not be surprised if bears are frequenting lower elevations in greater numbers this year. “We don’t have any documentation, but they come out of their dens in May and are hungry,” he says, pointing out bears are motivated by food. “Spring was as slow in coming as I can ever remember and it would have come earlier at lower elevations.” Harris says bears begin the season by eating grass, clover and other tender greens and are

often found on green, south-facing slopes under power lines. But they are omnivores, who also enjoy “ripened” meat. After mother-cub issues, food is the next greatest cause of aggressive behaviour in bears. Harris says orchards are weeks behind and spawning salmon – another favourite meant item, are not available yet. Meanwhile Shuswap Trail Alliance officials remind trail users to remember all area trails are within active bear habitat. “Two other reports of bear activity around trails in the region include Reinecker Creek, above Herald Park, and a mother bear and cub in the area of the Rubberhead Trails,” cautions a media release. All trail users are advised to be bear aware. Travel in groups. Make noise. Carry bear spray. Let others know where you are going. When you encounter a bear, remain calm, DO NOT RUN, retreat from the area.” “Be particularly aware on

mountain bikes and make noise,” says the release. “Despite the impression of being loud in our own minds as we ride, cyclists are actually incredibly hard to hear and easily surprise others on the trail.” Be sure to manage potential bear attractants around your homes. Human behaviour is usually at the root of all problem encounters between humans and bears. Check out the BC Bear Aware program at www.bearaware. bc.ca for excellent guidance. Report general bear sightings on trails to trailreport@shuswaptrals.com so information can be shared through the Shuswap trails ebulletin. Use the same email to request your name be added to the ebulletin for regular updates on Shuswap trail events, news, and updates. Report bear conflicts to BC Conservation by calling 1-877952-7277.

Rapattack helps out By Barb Brouwer

is the time to have your say about PALLIATIVE CARE SERVICES in the Shuswap area.

OBSERVER STAFF

It is the kindest of cuts. A five-person Rapattack crew spent several hours felling dangerous trees on the Park Hill Trail above Canoe Beach Friday. “It is great for the community,” says Salmon Arm public works manager John Rosenberg. “The Rapattack base has a lot of ancillary benefits beyond having rapid wildfire response here.” Rosenberg says city staff do not walk the trails often, responding only if someone reports a dangerous tree. Rapattack crews have not only assessed the trail, but are removing dangerous trees and plan to remove some of the underbrush to remove fuel load – sporadically, whenever the fire hazard is low enough. It is a process that not only helps protect the forest and people, it benefits Rapattack crews by keeping skills in top form. Forest protection officer Caleb Tomlinson says the assessment was completed by a crew from Kamloops. “For us, the benefit is we practise chainsaw skills and maintain proficiency, and it’s also the danger assessment program endorsed by WorkSafeBC for use in parks and recreation areas,” says Tomlinson, noting some 20 trees were felled last week. “We’re trying to mitigate hazards, making if safe for city workers to do trail maintenance.” Tomlinson says felling trees is what Rapattack crews are most used to doing. “When we go into wildfires, the first thing we do is make the workplace safe by assessing dangerous trees, removing or avoiding them,” he says. “Our long-term goal is to look at fuel management and reduce the fire hazard by removing some of the

Crews patrolled the Shuswap two weeks ago and discovered abandoned campfires, mostly at campsites on the lake. As of Friday, the fire danger rating in the Salmon Arm Zone was moderate. But there have been lightning strikes in the zone and the possibility that some “hangovers” will be smouldering in the duff layer (forest floor debris), ready to pop up as the hot, sunny weather continues.

“As we’re expecting more lightning strikes we’re asking people not to waste resources on human-caused fires,” says Tomlinson. Campfires are not considered to be fully extinguished until a hand can be put in the ashes comfortably. Careless campers can be charged $345 for abandoning their campfires. Start a wildfire and you could be liable for the costs of fighting a fire and/or up to a year in jail If you spot a wildfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or punch in *5555 on your cell phone.

Robber gets ﬁve years By Martin van den Hemel BLACK PRESS

A 41-year-old Salmon Arm man was sentenced last Wednesday, July 25 to five years and 11 months in jail for multiple counts of robbery, including a Scotiabank in Richmond in June of 2011. Karl Danny Nelson was found guilty of three counts of robbery, four counts of disguising his face with the intent to commit an offence, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and assault with a weapon. All of the offences occurred in a three-week span between June 3 and

June 20, 2011. He was finally nabbed following his last robbery at the Scotiabank on the 11000 block of Bridgeport Road, when he walked into the bank armed with a knife, and then demanded cash. According to Richmond Mounties at the time, Nelson fled the scene in a vehicle with an undisclosed quantity of cash. But Nelson was spotted by Vancouver police officers, who arrested him and turned him over to Richmond RCMP. Nelson has a lengthy criminal history dating back to the mid 1990s, and has more than 30 aliases.

THIS ’N’ THAT

Barb Brouwer

Arts scene rivals the best Nobody can deny, we live in one of the planet’s most beautiful places. Add to that an unbelievably rich Shuswap arts and entertainment scene. Within the past month, I have happily dipped my toes, no, make that feet, into the talent pool – some local, some international – all excellent. It could have been in Vancouver, London or any other major world city, such was the quality of performances by Welsh tenor Peter Karrie and Vernon soprano Melina Moore in last Tuesday’s Phantom of the Opera Returns at Haney Heritage Village. Both singers earned standing ovations for their performances – Karrie for a haunting number from Phantom of the Opera and Moore for an equally powerful song from Les Miserables. The two have amazing voices and mesh well onstage. Their easy banter filled the gaps between numbers very well. I hope they return next year and bring the Phantom with them. Haney’s new amphitheatre is delightful, as is this year’s Villains and Vittles production of Peter Blacklock’s Captain Louie and the Pirate of the Shuswap. Heading south, I attended the opening night of The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride at Caravan Farm Theatre – considered by many to be a national treasure that draws talent from across the country. What a rollicking, fun summer adventure! A great way to spend a warm summer evening. Vintage cars and accomplished actors take the audience back to the Bonnie and Clyde era, with the tone set to perfection by the music, written and performed by Salmon Arm’s Herald Nix. Talk about talented – In September, Nix will exhibit his artwork at SAGA Public Art Gallery – another local cultural jewel. In between these two stellar performances, I joined hundreds of others at Marine Park for Wednesday on the Wharf. What more could you ask for than to lounge in a beautiful lakeside park, listen to high-energy Cod Gone Wild and watch people of all ages – and a plethora of dogs – enjoying a lovely summer evening. I had planned to go to Shuswap Theatre Sunday to see Legend, a series of First Nations stories, but I had a crisis of the rodent variety and spent the weekend, scrubbing, bleaching, laundering and trying to seal up possible entry points. But I hear the play is well worth seeing and have put it on my look-forward-to-doing list. Also high on that list is the Roots and Blues Festival, which runs Aug. 17 to 19 and the weeklong preamble that includes an exciting outreach program involving local and visiting talent. Again this year, festival organizers are expanding the outreach to include performances in downtown businesses. The art gallery is doing the same with the “Salmon Arm Culture Crawl,” with the gallery being the starting point on a downtown walking tour of 29 businesses featuring local artists.

Editorial

Clark missing environmental boat Perhaps Premier Christy Clark sees a battle with Alberta – over revenue from allowing the Enbridge pipeline to use B.C. to link Alberta oil with tankers on the Pacific Ocean – as the last hope to rally voters in time for the spring 2013 election campaign. It stands to reason, since the B.C. NDP has staked the opposed-to-pipeline position and the B.C. Conservatives have claimed the support-withconditions spot. However, by demanding that B.C. receive oil royalties from profits made from what flows through the pipeline, Clark is simply catering to those who already support the Enbridge proposal. Those opposed – and they include First Nations along the proposed route from Alberta to Kitimat – have said loud and clear it is not about money, but about inevitable environmental damage. Grand Chief Edward John of the First Nations

Summit political executive summed it up in a scathing press release of July 24, when he said the Clark B.C. Liberal government has missed the mark, stressing “B.C. First Nations’ traditional territories and pristine environment are not for sale.” John reminded Clark of the Supreme Court of Canada’s stance that there is a legal requirement for governments to consult and accommodate First Nations regarding any and all land and resource development initiatives in their respective territories. If First Nations cannot be convinced to allow a pipeline to be constructed – with or without scads of cash – the pipeline simply will not come to be. With Clark’s demand having been rejected by Alberta Premier Alison Redford, and with strong opposition among the public, it would be wise for Clark to rethink her position. - Black Press

Decision on Stomp well-run event for community cell towers regrettable Open letter to Mayor Cooper and council: Once again, Your Worship, you and your ill-advised council have shown a thoughtless disregard for the health and welfare of the people of Salmon Arm. I refer, of course to your foolhardy acceptance of the proposed three cell towers and the resulting motion in a hapless manner with only a pitiful knowledge of the dangers of wireless currents and electromagnetic radiation. I noted that Ken Jamieson and Marg Kentel had the good sense to ask for further study on the matter. In fact if you or any of your council had turned up at the large meeting in Enderby on July 15 you would have had the shock of your life. More than 300 people, many from Salmon Arm, turned up and suffered over three hours on a hot evening to hear the real story and the vital dangers of wireless technology from three of the most highly trained men of science this province is lucky to have. Their regular work has involved them for many years in the study and application of radio and wireless communications. The experience and advice they offer cannot be taken lightly. I repeat again Your Worship that you must be prepared to set up an open public forum for all parties to attend to learn and question this perilous action by BC Hydro that seems to be a law unto itself. Sorry your email network does not work well with me. I receive far more action using the Queen’s regular mail and usually have a good reply. Good luck to you, Madame Mayor, and always remember you were elected to your important post to serve and administer fair rulings and motions for the best interests of the community. C. H. (Dave) Dyke, member with Council of Canadians

I would like to comment on this year’s Salmon Arm Summer Stomp. I reside in the Silver Creek area and every year I have watched scores of motorcycles roll past my place during the weekend of the stomp. I had never attended one until this year when I brought my street vending cart to the new site. I was impressed right from the start as vendor rates are decent and the site was well organized with water and power available for all vendors. Once festivities got underway, I was even

more impressed. Everyone in attendance was fantastic; my partner and I served up almost 400 smokies to hungry motorcycle enthusiasts and every single one of those folks was a pleasure to serve. Aside from the rain on Friday, we didn’t experience anything close to a problem and, in fact, I’m sure we made a few friends and fans along the way. The bike rodeo was a spectacle to behold and the bands were top-notch. To all those opposed to having a ‘biker’ event in your area, I would like to suggest

going to check it out for yourselves next year. I saw locals there that I thought would never attend an event like the stomp but they all agree, it’s a truly fantastic, relaxed and fun event that gives back to the community, as opposed to leaving unpaid bills as past events have done. Hopefully we have seen the last of Sturgis North and we’ll see you all next year for Summer Stomp #24. Chris Ross

Ignorance of ﬂood potential unbelievable In 2012 we have every imaginable device available in modern technology. At times it appears almost as though day-to-day living functions on remote control. Computers have become almost indispensable tools of information from research into family roots to providing almost minute by minute weather reports. Space travel has become a reality much in the mode of Buck Rogers 21st Century comic strip so popular decades ago. It seems nothing is impossible now. Although at considerable cost, airplanes and helicopters are

used for multiple purposes, even the somewhat superficial task of monitoring traffic volume in urban areas. I had presumed that monitoring the flow of mountain streams would be standard practice particularly during the unusual weather patterns we have experienced this year. Surely with today’s easier access to upper regions it could be determined when something unusual is happening to the flow of mountain streams. In the late 1960s just prior to the fatal wash-out at Camp Creek on the west end

of Griffin Lake (Trans-Canada Highway) it had been noted that during a normal high run-off, the creek had dwindled down to a mere trickle. It would be interesting to know whether similar indications were evident during all the recent disasters. In the late 1920-1930 decade it was understandable that people were caught without warning in landslides and wash-outs. Did someone turn the clock back, or is there some computer illiterate reason why everyone was caught flat-footed in 2012? Alli M. Graham

Denial weighs heavily in resource viewpoint It is incomprehensible that anyone today could not be deeply concerned about the environment. Multiply one bag of garbage by seven billion, and any child could figure it out. Add sewage, CO2, freshwater waste, asinine food production practices, and the fact developing countries are emulating our ways, and it’s obvious our lifestyle of obscene consumption is not sustainable – even without population growth. And exponential growth is deceptive. We’ll double in 35 to 100 years. As David Suzuki explains, when the test tube is full, the only thing left is dead fruit flies. Yet just

before this, the tube will be half empty. This might explain the Conservatives’ agenda of ignorance and unabated development. How long before our test tube is full? The answer is not so simple as exhaustion of resources. Many argue we’ll find solutions when need be, but scientists warn that ecosystems are already collapsing. Once the bees are gone, we’re finished. Other consequences can be sneaky. If suddenly all humans are born sterile, it’ll be too late to ban pesticides. But apparently people are too impoverished (intellectually?) to care. Hidden in

monster houses with RVs parked next to chemical-green lawns, are families suffering the debilitating effects of lack of shopping opportunities? Forced to drive to Walmart for affordable food, some have even had to cancel trips to Disneyland. While this is truly tragic, maybe it’s time to teach Timmy about integrity instead. Enough alarmist talk! SmartCentres’ site didn’t flood (even though the whole point is that fill forces water elsewhere). So let’s get the messiah superstore open already! Perhaps they’ll even have a sale on denial. Belinda Lyall

Shuswap Theatre’s live Legend appreciated I recently had the pleasure of attending Legend, the live theatre collaboration between Shuswap Theatre and the Switzmalph Cultural Society. James Bowlby and Kenthen Thomas have crafted a unique

showcase for our cultural roots here in the Shuswap. I liked the intergenerational tension and the weaving of stories. The cast was cleverly chosen to represent symbolic animal mentors. Even the cameo appear-

ances of animals lent weight to the stories. This performance was an incredibly sweet and memorable evening suitable for all ages. Thank you for the gift. Sharon Lockie

FROM THE

Archives

1919

J.R.A. Richards liberated in the Salmon Arm area 25 purebred Mongolian pheasants presented by the provincial game and conservation board. The government was calling for tenders for a road to be constructed to link the Okanagan and Revelstoke.

1929

The senior governments were discussing construction of the Big Bend Highway. After council agreed creeks were proving undependable, Mayor Thompson said he would seek costs of pumping water from Shuswap Lake to fill all the needs of the city.

1939

Colin Shantz and J.S. McGregor were erecting a shingle mill half a mile east of Canoe. Some 70 men were battling a forest fire at Sunnybrae while another group was engaged with a blaze in Tappen. In both cases a number of fires had started almost simultaneously and provincial police were called in to investigate suspected arson.

1949

A wild storm struck Thompson River-Shuswap areas. In most local areas it brought rain, in some cases cloudburst but in scattered locations, such as Tappen, it came in the form of hail. Trees were stripped of fruit and field crops were flattened by ice balls of golf ball size. Traffic was held up for more then 12 hours when a bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway between Sicamous and Canoe collapsed under a truck heavily loaded with logging equipment.

1959

An 11-ton tractor belonging to Federated Co-operatives Ltd. was salvaged from 60 feet of water in Shuswap Lake at Canoe Point by Captain Frank Smith of Shuswap Lake Ferry Service, four days after tilting off his barge into the water. New dial telephone equipment was being installed at Sicamous. Vernon Civic Employees Union 326 was certified to bargain for village employees.

Threats to food supply a

global concern By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

If you think feeding a family is difficult, try feeding a planet. “You can say there’s enough food to feed everyone on the planet, but for the first time there is a question as to whether or not that is actually true,” says Chad Shipmaker, 1996 Salmon Arm Senior Secondary grad, now a policy officer with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). “For the first time ever it is estimated that there are a billion hungry people in the world.” Shipmaker says a world food crisis in ’07-08 doubled and even sometimes tripled the cost of food in a matter of a month. “That’s not a big deal in the western world, where maybe five per cent of income goes to food, but in sub Saharan Africa it’s typically more like 70 per cent.” Given climate change, Shipmaker says there are questions about how more crops can be grown in places like the Sahara. “Your going to be having less and less and less, combined with increasing frequent climate shocks and drought will become more frequent.” Shipmaker, who resides in Washington, D.C., says the WFP’s biggest operations are in the Horn of Africa and Afghanistan. Shipmaker’s role is to help strengthenpartnershipsbetween WFP and North Americanbased institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and research institutions such as universities and think tanks,” he says. “We partner with those institutions to make sure they benefit from our knowledge base and are

aware of what we’re doing.” Shipmaker also makes sure WFP officials are aware of the most advanced thinking on relevant issues. His second role is to represent the World Food Programme at gatherings such as the Big G8 – a forum for governments of eight of the world’s larger economies, G20 – a group of finance ministers and central bank governors from 20 major global economies. The recent Rio Plus 20 has drawn criticism for failing to tackle global environmental threats. “There are many problems and our problems are increasingly of a global nature,” says Shipmaker, who uses the example, ‘someone burns a Koran in Florida and somebody dies in Afghanistan,’ to show how closely the world is linked – so far without an organization capable of dealing with the huge global issues, be they related to food, climate or finance. “The moral of the story is, we’re on the verge of this big global transition; we have a rapid rebalancing of power,” he says. “China has emerged and they’re powerful and they themselves are trying to figure out how to act on the world stage.” Shipmaker, says in the past, rich countries shared with poor countries, delivering aid through a variety of agencies. Now the rich countries are dealing with financial problems of their own. “When it was a few rich countries, they could be more decisive,” says Shipmaker of the changes and increasing complexities on the humanitarian aid front. In the late ’90s, G7 accounted for two-thirds of the global

Time out: A policy officer with the UN’s World Food Programme, Chad Shipmaker has returned to Salmon Arm for a vacation. economic output (western countries) but by 2050 only the picture will be changed dramatically, he says. Canada will do well, he adds, noting this country is blessed with abundant food, water and natural resources that other nations require. “One message I would have that I would be comfortable saying, is it is in the interest of countries like Canada to help solve some of these problems because it will help us as well.” Shipmaker points to Rotary’s Polio Plus and says not only is the program important for ethical or moral reasons, but eradicating the disease in the last two countries where it remains would save millions of dollars in inoculation costs in Canada. Shipmaker participated in a Rotary Youth Exchange to Malaysia prior to starting post-secondary education at Okanagan University College. After one year, he attended

University of Victoria, where he earned a degree in political science and history. He credits then OUC dean Lynda Wilson for encouraging him to apply for a Rotary World Peace Fellowship. Through the prestigious scholarship, he earned a masters in international development from Duke University and a graduate certificate in peace and conflict resolution from the University of North Carolina. Shipmaker began working with WFP as a work placement required as part of his grad school requirements. That segued into full-time employment. “My masters thesis was on responding to the global food price crisis,” he says. “It was just exactly what they needed at the time.” The WFP is the world’s large humanitarian organization, with an annual budget of $5 billion that provides assistance to some 90 million people annually.

Environment committee frustrated with council By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

There’s growing frustration among Salmon Arm’s Environmental Advisory Committee members who think city council isn’t interested in their advice. This was Coun. Marg Kentel’s message to council relating to a request from the committee she chairs, that it be allowed to make a presentation to council. “The committee often feels frustrated,” Kentel explained at last Monday’s council meeting. “They feel they put things forward and it isn’t adopted.” Council agreed to this after turning down four committee recommendations. Two of them related to the city’s Landscape Standards and Recommended Species guide, which suggests to property owners and land developers which plant species to use. The committee asked that the guide be modified to include “only those plants that are drought-tolerant, non-invasive, appropriate for Salmon Arm’s biogeoclimatic zones and not pest-prone.” Coun. Alan Harrison viewed the recommendations as appropriate for landscaping on public/ government lands, but he wasn’t comfortable with narrowing the choices on private land.

Bicycle consideration urged Council: Citizen requests city make corridors for cyclists a priority. By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

While Salmon Arm is keen to promote Bike to Work week, the daily ride is becoming a growing safety concern according to Mary Howard. Between a written submission and an oral presentation, Howard shared her perception with city council that Salmon Arm accommodates bicycles more as a recreational activity than as a daily mode of transportation. In her letter, Howard states the bicycle, as transportation, has “clearly not been a priority for past or current city planners.” She notes how a short commute to work has morphed into an effort of multitasking with survival as a primary goal. She adds with the opening of Uptown Askew’s, a designated bike route, for her, has become “exponentially scarier.” “It seems we have signage, but precious little else in terms of genuinely integrating bike use into our area’s transportation system,” writes Howard. Howard told council fear was her motivation for writing the letter. She said riding the route she’s ridden for the past seven or eight years, much of which is a marked bicycle path, has become a “lifethreatening event.” As for when and how the city establishes bike routes, development and planning director Corey Paiement explained the city looks to maps in the official community plan and the Greenways strategy, the latter being geared more towards trails, non-motorized recreational use. He said in terms of bike infrastructure, the city tries to incorporate routes identified in those documents when opportunity and funding comes available.

Share the road: A cyclist competes with vehicles on a busy Salmon Arm street. said when adding bike routes, the city tries to work with existing infrastructure. “Therefore we are narrowing down the travel lanes for the vehicles, and sometimes our bike lanes can be from one metre to 1.5 metres, and the actual driving paths for the vehicles have been reduced, so that in theory causes traffic calming,” Niewenhuizen explained. “We do our

best with what we have and, as Corey mentioned, as opportunity comes along, we will continue to enhance the bike lanes throughout the community based on the plans that we have.” Howard commented on the city’s existing and planned bike routes, noting they seem to take bikes out of the city. “I’m wondering how you’re going to

get bikes into the city,” said Howard. Coun. Chad Eliason asked about improving signage along the ride from Little Mountain Park to South Canoe, a route he is personally familiar with. Niewenhuizen said signs could be put up encouraging drivers to share the road, but he added as signs become more commonplace, people start taking them for granted.

Eliason said he appreciated the letter and hoped council could solve the problem. Howard said she appreciated the written response she received from the city, though it didn’t seem to alleviate her concern for how the city accommodates daily two-wheel transit. “I think we give lipservice all the time, but as a user, I don’t see a genuine effort.

ICBC statistics between 2007 and 2011 show a total of 63 crashes at that intersection, which is more than double the nexthighest collision location, at the intersection of 10th Avenue NE and Highway 97B. That intersection has seen 29 crashes over the same time period. The intersection at Auto Road and Black Road saw 23 crashes during this time All three of these intersections have had upgrades during this time; however, they remain the top crash sites for 2011, the latest for which ICBC data is available. In 2011, the intersections at Trans-Canada Highway at 30th Street NE and at Auto Road and Black Road recorded seven collisions each. The intersection at 10th Avenue NE and

prime intersections, according to statistics compiled by ICBC over the past five years. Highway 97B saw six collisions. The intersections of 20th Ave. NE at 30th Street NE and Alexander street and the Trans-Canada Highway both saw five collisions each in 2011. The statistics include collisions with casualties as well as those where only property damage was reported, but excludes parking lot collisions and crashes where a driver

hit a parked vehicle. When it comes to crashes involving motorcycles in the Salmon Arm area, it is far more difficult to predict where such a collision might occur. Between 2007 and 2011, there have been 12 crashes involving motorcycles in the area, however no intersection has had multiple collisions. Crash sites include locations in Silver

Creek, Gleneden, the area around 30th Street NE and Black Road. Interestingly, none of the crashes during this time period took place on the Trans-Canada Highway, although one took place on Highway 97B. ICBC notes motorcyclists are eight times more likely to be killed in a crash than someone travelling in a car, and are 41 per cent more likely to be injured.

For four years, residents in Salmon Arm have joined together on the last Sunday in January to raise money and awareness for families impacted by dementia at the Investors Group Walk for Memories. Now, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is calling for volunteer leaders to help plan and co-ordinate this community event in 2013. Participants join the walk to celebrate the life of someone who has been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia, and to raise money for Alzheimer Society of B.C. programs and services in their community that can help. Money raised is also invested in research for a cure. In 2012, the Salmon Arm Walk raised an impressive $10,000 for the cause. For more information about volunteer positions with the 2013 Investors Group Walk for Memories, contact Janis McKell at JMcKell@ alzheimerbc.org or call or call 1-800-667-3742.

Plans to sell swimming gear from website Continued from pg. 15 tographers was compiled. “There has never been a really good swimming website. There are other sites but they all kind of use very archaic methods of reporting news. It just wasn’t very good. I was a swimmer, and for a long time a swim fan myself.” Woulle is hoping the website will get more people to enjoy the sport. Competitive swimmers are generally younger. However, the people who create and design the gear, and run the other websites, are over 50, he says. Wuolle thinks they are out of touch with competitors and believes there could be more spunk brought back into the sport. He hopes to be able to eventually provide a store for gear on the website, one featuring fun and unique things that appeal to young competitive swimmers. He also aims to bring the same type of carefree fun associated with sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding and surfing. “People see swimming as a serious sport, but it really isn’t, we have a lot of fun.” Wuolle’s approach seems to be working. The site officially launched in March 2012 and traffic surpassed that of other established swim websites in just one month of being online, he says. “It is nice to see it grow that quickly.” Wuolle credits part of their success on a single photo. “Our photographer got a pic of a U.S. swimmer whose suit ripped right down the back. Somehow Yahoo picked it up and within a half hour there was a traffic rate of 200,000. Soon after this number was recorded, the traffic increased to such high rates that the site actually crashed and was unable to record the numbers anymore.” The rise in traffic is driving the pair to work

even harder to provide content that no one else has. Other sites tend to not report on the “juicy” stuff, explains Wuolle. They report only recorded times but, he

believes that is not what competitive swimmers want to read. Wuolle says they want to know how the competitors train for their competitions and which athletes

are retiring. Swimswam currently has a focus on the summer Olympics in London. The site has created a number of features to make following the

swimmers easily and entertaining. It contains the Twitter handles of every swimmer competing in the Olympics, and also has athletes taking pictures

from the ground floor and loading them to the site, giving fans a chance to see the Olympics from the eyes of an athlete. New articles are add-

ed daily, he says, providing a more detailed review than can be given by sports media, as SwimSwam does not have to cover other sports as well.

Heartbreak and jubilation at Olympics The Summer Olympics in London have been both exhilarating and devastating for two Salmon Arm athletes competing in the Games. Monday could only be described as a heartbreaking day for the Canadian Eventing Team and Salmon Arm’s Rebecca Howard. On Sunday the team competed in dressage, the first of its three-phase competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. The cross-country jumping event was Monday with stadium jumping set for Tuesday. Things went relatively well for the five-rider team Sunday, with a top score for the team of 31st place tallied by Hawley Bennett-Awad on her horse Gin & Juice, and Salmon Arm’s Rebecca Howard and her horse Riddle Master claiming 34th spot. On Monday, however, the Canadian team experienced one disaster after another on the gruelling cross-country course. It seemed that anything that could go wrong did go wrong. First rider out, Bennett-Awad, fell at the third fence and was taken away by ambulance. According to media reports, she suffered a concussion as well as a fractured tail bone. Next Canadian pair, Peter Barry on Kilrodan Abbott, both fell at the 11th fence, but weren’t injured. A fall means elimination. The third Canadian rider, Jessica Phoenix on Exponential, put in a good round, with the same hoped for Howard, who was described in media reports as “Canada’s anchor pair.” It was not to be, however. Halfway through the course, on the 14th obstacle, which consisted of two jumps, things unravelled. According to the Eventing Nation website, Riddle Master had problems with the first jump, See Women’s on page A18

Sun steals win from Broncos In an exciting contest, the Kamloops Broncos lost 1512 in the dying minutes to Kelowna’s Okanagan Sun in British Columbia Football Conference exhibition play on Saturday, July 28 in Salmon Arm. Kamloops held a 9-1 lead heading into the second half at the SASCU Sports Fields at Little Mountain, but Okanagan clawed back, scoring a touchdown with 1:45 to play in the fourth quarter to take the lead. A 53-yard field goal at-

tempt by Broncos kicker Aaron Smit with time winding down was no good and the Sun held on for the win. It was the Sun’s and Bronco’s choice to play in Salmon Arm on neutral territory, given the teams’ past appreciation for the effort Shuswap Minor Football Association puts into the event and the chance to play at an exceptional facility. Although Little Mountain has seen little activity due to recent wet weather, it held up well to the high level of play.

Keeping women on the ice By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

Canada is helping to ensure the future of women’s hockey in the winter Olympics. Players and coaches of Kazakhstan’s women’s Olympic hockey team arrived in Salmon Arm on July 23 to begin a historic program that is set to extend over a two-and-a-half -year period. The program was formed by the top four teams in Women’s hockey – USA, Finland, Sweden and Canada this time last year, in response to Jacques Rooge threatening to eliminate women’s hockey from the winter Olympics. “At the Olympics it is always the same four teams in the top – Canada, Sweden, U.S. and Finland,” says Nancy Wilson, senior mentor for Kazakhstan. “So last year the Worlds saw Switzerland knock out Finland, which was horrible for Finland but great for women’s hockey.” She explains: “They don’t see much development in the bottom nine countries and, as a result, Rooge, the president of the International Olympic Committee came on and said that if the bottom end countries didn’t improve, they were thinking seriously about removing women’s hockey from the Olympics.” As a result of this threat, the International Ice Hockey Federation has come together and invested money, time, coaches and players to mentor the bottom nine countries. Wilson says it is all being done voluntarily and, to her knowledge, this is the first time an initiative like this has been taken in not only hockey, but any sport in general. “By assigning the same team of mentors and ambassadors to a country for a period of 2.5 years, the teams that will qualify for Sochi will have a resource that no team entering

International play: Team BC plays a team from Kazakhstan in a series of exciting and tough contests held over the weekend at the Shaw Centre. an Olympic Games has previously had,” said Tanya Foley, manager of the IIHF program. “We believe this will help teams be prepared for Olympic-level competition in a very positive way.” The Kazakhstan team and their coaches were in Salmon Arm throughout the Team BC Summer Camp which ran from July 25 to 29. The team practised hard daily, working closely with Wilson, before taking on Team BC in three games over the weekend. The team is now returning to Summerland to relax for a bit before heading to Calgary for the Women’s U18 Team Selection Camp, which runs from Aug. 2 to 14. There they will be taking on the Team Canada prospects. Canada’s women have consistently had a strong ranking at an international level of hockey.

“I think it has been because there are many thousands of girls, young girls, playing the game and there is a lot of money that goes into the game. We have phenomenal support in the community to develop young girls and we also have Hockey Canada and the WHL. Alexander Maltsev, Team Kazakhstan’s coach, agrees that hockey in Canada is much different than it is in Kazakhstan. “In Canada hockey is sport number one,” says Maltsev. “In Kazakhstan, hockey has some priorities, but it is not as popular as it is here in Canada.” Maltsev is thankful for Hockey Canada, stating he believes that it has taken on a leadership role in helping other countries for years. He believes that teams like his have seen substantial benefits simply because Hockey Canada pays great attention to

women’s hockey globally. “Hockey Canada has definitely taken initiative,” says Maltsev Both Wilson and Maltsev agree that the main goal they hope to see come out of this program is development. The mentors are working closely with the team. Wilson meets with Maltsev before each practice to discuss what should be covered, what is improving and what needs more attention. According to Wilson the greatest focus so far has been systems work. During the practice on July 26, the coaches placed the nets on the blue lines, forcing the players to make plays in a very tight area. Players worked together, passing lots, and were very enthusiastic about what they were learning. Coming off the ice, team members admitted that they were exhausted but were enjoying what they were learning, and very grateful for the chance. “We are here to improve our skills and we are working with great people,” says Maltsev. “We are working with great professionals and have learned a great deal of knowledge in a very short amount of time.” Wilson believes that this experience is benefiting more than just the Kazakhstan team. “It is good for our young players to, first off, play against any competition in July, but to have a team from another country come from the other side of the world to play against us is tremendous for our own development.” Team Kazakhstan will be heading back home on Aug. 12 from Calgary, but will be keeping in touch with their mentoring team. The program is set up to have the team communicate with their mentors and ambassadors every two to three weeks.

Women’s basketball squad downs host Continued from pg. 17 which left Howard off balance and without stirrups. As he attempted to jump the second part, Howard fell. As if that wasn’t enough tragedy for one day, the fifth Canadian rider, Michelle Mueller on Amistad, completed the course but was told

later that Amistad had torn a tendon. He has been withdrawn from the Olympics and, just as he was reaching the peak of his career, will have to be retired. Another former Salmon Arm resident is experiencing better luck. Allison McNeill, coach of the Canadian Women’s Basketball

team, experienced success on Monday when the Canadian women defeated the hometown favourites, Great Britain, 73-65. That evened the Canadian team’s record to 1-1, following a 5853 loss to the formidable second-ranked Russian team. Canada led until the fourth quarter, when

Russia couldn’t be stopped. “We know who we are and are humble about what we have to do,” said McNeill on the Canada Basketball website. “Russia showed their experience down the stretch with an 18-3 run and they punished us. We made some mistakes in transition

which is not us because we are very good in transition. I am very proud of our team and we still are ready to upset some people.” The team followed through on her prediction. Following the win versus Great Britain, Canada was scheduled to take on France at 1 a.m. PST today.

PLAY LIKE A PRO DEMERIT DEME DEFENDER DEFENDE 6 JAY

Versatile athletes: From left to right, Canada’s racketlon team, made up of Winston Pain from Salmon Arm, Dany Lessard from Montreal, Damaris Brix and Peter Brix from Victoria, Omar Samad and John Pillings from Toronto, took part in the Racketlon World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria from July 12 to 15.

Excelling with many rackets The results weren’t quite what he was hoping for, but Salmon Arm’s Winston Pain had a wonderful time anyway. Pain once again took part in the Racketlon World Championships, held this year over four days in Sofia, Bulgaria. Racketlon involves play in four racquet sports: table tennis, badminton, squash and tennis. Last year Pain’s team came away with a bronze medal in masters doubles, so he was hoping to better that result this year. However, it wasn’t to be. In Pain’s first-round doubles

match, where he teamed up with John Pillings from Toronto, the Canadians were pitted against Austria. “The game went four hours and came down to one point in tennis, which we lost,” Pain says. “So, instead of going to the 1-4 pool (semifinals), we went to the 5-8 pool. We lost the next one to Hungary and then beat the host team Bulgaria for seventh.” Still, he says, Austria was a good draw for a first-round opponent and gave them a great game.

Of the five Canadians who participated, two men played doubles, two played singles and one woman took part in singles. Peter and Damaris Brix from Victoria teamed up to win the World Masters Mixed Doubles event. Pain enjoyed the competition, but also the camaraderie. “The reason I enjoy going is the friendly spirit with the other teams. I have forged a few friendships the past couple of years with other countries’ players, particularly the Hugarians, Swedes and Austrians.”

Mistal; who was acquired along with Brayden Sherbinin from Cowichan as futures in the Brett Knowles trade says his two years in Salmon Arm have him ready for more. “I’m excited, I loved my time in Salmon Arm. They were great years with great guys so I’m really excited to come back for the end of my Junior ‘A’ career.” For those who don’t remember him as a SilverBack he contributed 21 points over two seasons, Mistal describes himself as a hard-working, two-way forward with great memories of being a ‘Back “I roomed with Mark Zengerle and skated alongside him and to play on the team that went to the Conference Finals in my second year was awesome. I’ve only played on a few teams like that, that were that close.”

ARIES (March 21 - April 19): Telephones were considered a miracle, launched in hopes of a valued service of connection. Some considered them a nuisance at the time of their introduction. This week asks you to think big and broad, and incorporate technology in the process. There is no fear, only opportunity. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): Your career is likely on an upswing, with the realization of a goal. Alternatively, you might be moving forward for greener pastures. Changes in your direction delight you, and assure you that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greater prosperity available. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Some presentations of ideas ask to be acknowledged by a broad crowd. A marvellous opportunity is ripe with potential. This is part of the path, moving you towards a deep understanding of your desire and direction. You step onto a larger stage than you knew before. CANCER (June 21 - July 22): There are various reasons why we make the choices we do. Most are not thought through carefully. You face, in stark honesty, your regrets and pride reaching a balanced point. Walk into a meeting with confident humility, not force, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll walk out with more money. LEO (July 23 - August 22): Love holds the loveliest surprises and much needed changes. Leos in established partnerships will find fast decisions bring the bond closer than ever. Singles are likely to meet an intelligent, talkative type. Endings would happen with gratitude and happiness. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): Story tellers find ways to do on the page what they may not in the real world. Imagination is a powerful way of entering an alternate reality, and creating a new future. The good news you receive makes you feel like you have another shot turning dreams into reality.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Only the most fun moments appeal to you now. Whether it involves a celebration with a child, or your own project that receives your love and joy, either situation will bring happiness and a chance at greater than you thought you could get.

The Universe has a new sense of home and comfort coming your way, like a delightful breeze. Changes taking place now may need more time to work out, but for now, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rightly happy. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): Swallowing oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words means making a choice not to say something that you think, for various reasons, that you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to fight the inclination this week. Speak loud and proud to all around you so joy and prosperity finds you. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): A lovely evening can go quickly, but some moments seem to last longer. The best news this week is the financial boon that comes. Positive developments and actions you take will secure your financial future. The best results are a complete surprise. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): You are moving towards greater delight and more fulfillment than you have known in a while. In a quick moment, you realize that all the work youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing has added up to this wonderful time where preparation meets opportunity. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll translate that into luck. PISCES (February 19 - March 20): The elderly, who have learned to set aside any regret, have a remarkable way to share stories that hold wisdom. Your interaction with a person significantly older than you opens a surprising flood of creativity and possibility.

CROCKER, RICHARD It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Richard Crocker at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC on July 23, 2012 at the age of 49 years. Richard was born June 25, 1963 in Vernon, BC to Randel and Flora Crocker. Richard, with his family, moved to Canoe, BC in 1972 where Richard completed high school. Richard remained at home with his parents for a great deal of his life and on May 20, 2006 he married Sharel Elliot. He and Sharel purchased a home in Salmon Arm where they have lived together till his sudden death. Richard loved to read, and paper back western books were his favourite.

SHUTTLEWORTH, HERBERT “BERT” THOMAS

Bert passed away peacefully May 17, 2012 in Salmon Arm, B.C. at the age of 93. Bert was born January 8, 1919, in Vancouver, B.C., the 5th of 7 children born to Herb and Ella Jane Shuttleworth. He served in World War II with the Canadian Air Force taking time out in 1941 to marry Marjorie Cook. Following the war, Bert worked for a time in the family business with his dad and brother and eventually became a property assessor working in Surrey, Vancouver and Vernon. He and Marjorie lived for many years in Cloverdale and finally retired to their summer cottage on Shuswap Lake. They briefly lived at Rose Lake in the Cariboo to be near their daughter who was living at 150 Mile House but the Shuswap lured them all back with Marj and Bert settling in Sorrento and their daughter and son-in-law in Blind Bay. Bert was pre-deceased by his parents, his three sisters – Doris, Vera, and Aileen, his three brothers - Jack, Norm and Bram, and his best friend, Scotty. He lost his wife, Marjorie, in 2005 after 64 years of marriage. Bert leaves behind his daughter, Donna and husband, Ken, of Blind Bay, four grandchildren: Don and Lisa (Eric) from Vancouver, Chris from Blind Bay, and James (Kate) from North Carolina. He loved being “greatgramps” to James’ and Kate’s children Samantha, Julia and Cooper. Blessed with a large extended family, he and his sense of humour will also be missed by his many nieces and nephews and their families. His family gives special thanks to Dr. Kevin Goldberg for the exceptional care given to Bert during his final years and to Bertha and Kim at Lakeside Manor which was home for Bert for almost 5 years. He enjoyed life and this will be celebrated the way he would like it with food, friends, family and the music he loved. His memorial reception will be held at 2 PM, August 11, 2012, at Fischer’s Funeral Home 4060 – 1st Ave. S.W, , Salmon Arm, B.C. If you wish, a donation can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association in Bert’s memory. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129.

GARDENS SALMON ARM

Gardener’s therapy… This Shuswap Street garden has been lovingly built over the last 10 years, with the gardener Jeanette adding a little something every year. The yard has two distinctive ‘rooms’ divided by an arbor that is heavy with Englemans Ivy. The beds that surround this garden are edged with a variety of rock and are overﬂowing with tall stands of phlox, lupins, day lilies, peonies and hydrangea. Tucked amongst these are geraniums, roses, mandevilla, newly planted wisteria, calla lily, canna and a banana plant. To one side is a small pond that really adds a nice element to this garden. Giant dwarf papyrus are coming along nicely, as well as corn and squash that she has somehow managed to ﬁt in. A couple of apple trees add height and shade. Jeanette says tending to this space is ‘great therapy’. We would trade a couch for this space any day! By Sherry & Laura, Salmon Arm Observer

Do you know someone whose garden goes above and beyond? Do you think your garden is a cut above? Don’t be shy! Let us know the owner’s name, address and phone number! The garden does not have to be huge or elaborate. It could be on a balcony or a front yard or whatever space you have, as long as it is unique.
