No review needed for projects Environment: Legislation now excludes several Shuswap developments. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

The Harper government’s Bill C-38 and its changes to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act are removing the requirement for a federal environmental assessment of several projects in the Shuswap. Close to 500 projects in B.C., which are termed ‘small, low risk,’ will no longer be required to complete assessments, according to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency agency website. It notes that on July 6, the new Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012 came into force, replacing the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. In the Shuswap, those listed include: Willy’s Wharf on Shuswap Lake in Canoe; Old Town Bay Marina Resort construction on Shuswap Lake in Sicamous; West Beach Village Marina on Shuswap Lake near Lee Creek; a floating dock for boat moorage on Shuswap Lake in Shuswap Lake Park at Scotch Creek; a Sun Peaks access road in Chase; and a water supply and treatment upgrade in Chase. In an email, spokesperson for the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, Isabelle Perrault, states that “under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, numerous small, routine projects that posed little or no risk to the environment were subject to formal federal environment assessment.” “The new Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012, (CEAA 2012) focuses reviews on those project proposals that have a greater potential for significant adverse environmental effects in areas of federal jurisdiction.” “Screening-type environmental assessments of most projects ceased when the new act came into force to ensure resources are allocated to the review of major projects,” she wrote.

Shared concern: North Canoe residents Debbie Miyashita, Carmen and Jose Teixeira and Ernie Smith discuss the site of a proposed cell phone tower to be built on the other side of the field near their homes.

Anger over cell tower Canoe: Residents unhappy with location, Telus considers options. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A proposal to erect a cell phone tower on Lyman Hill in North Canoe has sparked strong opposition from neighbouring property owners. Standard Land Company Inc. plans to install three towers on behalf of Telus and, as required by Industry Canada, which governs such installations, must consult with the city. The one that is sparking opposition is a 45-metre tower at 6790-56th St. NE. City staff report that the earliest the proposal would come to council would be at a planning meeting on Oct. 1 followed by a council meeting on Oct. 9. Those dates are not yet confirmed. A Telus spokesperson, meanwhile, says the location is not set in stone and the company will explore other suggested locations, some of which were already investigated when the current site proposed was chosen.

Lyman Hill is on the opposite side of the highway from the town and Federated Co-operatives, just north of Hidden Valley Campground. About 35 people from the neighbourhood have signed a petition opposing what Telus calls a radio-communications facility, and several will be taking their views to city council. Paul Verney lives next to the proposed tower site, which is located on private land. He, like others, is concerned about the location, which he says will block views and reduce property values in the neighbourhood made up of rural acreages. He says his home will be closer to the tower than the owner of the property in question, who couldn’t be reached for comment by press time. Verney points out that cedar trees nearby are about 60 feet tall, while the tower – at 45 metres or about 147 feet – will be well over twice that height. The first call he made upon hearing of the proposal was to a realtor.

“He said your property value will devalue,” reports Verney, noting that where people now drive up and say, ‘what a beautiful place,’ the response will change with the addition of a huge tower nearby. “Everyone will say, ‘that’s a neighbourhood to avoid.’” He says the location chosen is easily accessible for Telus given that it’s 100 yards off the highway and will be plowed in the winter, thanks to taxpayer dollars. He points to Crown land above an acreage farther away from the highway that would not ruin anyone’s view or property values. “This is all about Telus making money... They make enormous amounts of money...,” he said. “If the neighbourhood is going to suffer, that’s not fair.” Telus spokesperson Shawn Hall disagrees. “The key thing to emphasize is why we are bringing this site in in the first See Telus on page A3

Riparian regulations still in effect Continued from front “The vast majority of these smaller projects were expected to have little or no adverse effects on the environment.” She states that the projects will still be subject to relevant federal and provincial laws, regulations and standards. “Furthermore, federal authorities must be satisfied that there will be no significant adverse environmental effects when these small, low-risk projects are on federal lands. CEAA 2012 sets out requirements for federal authorities to report

annually to Parliament regarding this obligation.” Regarding the provincial Riparian Areas Regulation, which directs developers to hire a Qualified Environmental Professional to determine how close a development can be built to a watercourse, Carl Bannister, Salmon Arm’s chief administrative officer, said the regulation remains in effect. The changes to the federal act have sparked opposition, among them a group of more than 100 lawyers and law professors who wrote a public letter expressing their concerns just prior to the passing of Bill C-38.

They wrote: “Under the new act, the scope of environmental effects considered is greatly narrowed, fewer assessments are required, there is more discretion to exempt projects, and timelines are very short. Public participation rights are narrowed and no longer described in detail, leaving the public with no clear legally enforceable right to participate in environmental reviews.” “The new CEAA also allows for weaker provincial assessments to replace federal assessments in many cases...” the lawyers wrote.

Telus says opposition unexpected Continued from front place. We received dozens and dozens of calls from Salmon Arm and surrounding area asking us to improve service...,” he said, noting that the tower would improve spotty service in Canoe as well as to a stretch of highway nearby. “We’re prepared to invest about a half-million dollars... to meet demand from local residents.” He said many potential sites have been reviewed, with a number of criteria in mind. If they’re too far away, Canoe wouldn’t be covered, and ‘line of sight’ must be considered because a dip in the land

would affect coverage. However, the opposition was unexpected, he said, given that Telus has erected towers thousands of times without complaint. “We’re a bit surprised by the opposition. We’re going to step back and look at what our options are and go from there.” He said doing engineering reviews and looking at other sites could take a few weeks. Hall also contends health concerns about cell phone towers are unfounded. “What’s being put out by Health Canada and the World Health Organization is that these things are safe.”

Lyman Hill residents Debbie Miyashita, Ernie Smith and Carmen Teixeira spoke to the Observer with concerns similar to Verney’s. Teixeira runs a horse breeding and training facility on property her family has owned for 44 years. She said people don’t want their livestock exposed to such towers. She also notes that people purchase on Lyman Hill because of the view. “This is a multimillion dollar, 25-acre, lakeview property. There will be a massive tower instead of a lakeview.” Smith would like to see the city step in, and

notes the issue would be different if there was nowhere else to put the tower. “There are millions of places to put it.” Miyashita is concerned both about the loss of view and effects on health, particularly when exposure is constant.

Red light camera stalled By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

It’s been years already, but the wait for a red light camera for downtown Salmon Arm will continue. City council received a letter from Clayton Pecknold, assistant deputy minister in the B.C. justice ministry, in response to an April letter. That letter had requested cost-sharing the installation of an intersection safety camera at the Trans-Canada Highway and Alexander Street NE. The city has put funds in reserve for a camera. Pecknold said the Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) program has recently been upgraded. Part of the process was reviewing collision data from more than 1,400 intersections in B.C. From that review, 140 sites were selected, all of which experienced an average of 86 crashes per year, many of which resulted in serious injury or death. The Salmon

Arm intersection was assessed using the same process. Pecknold writes: “Over the past five years, the crash data indicates there have been two angle and two leftturn opposing crashes. As a result, this intersection ranked 630th out of more than 1,400 intersections. In light of the ISC goal to reduce serious harm at British Columbia’s worst intersections, this location along with many others was not considered suitable for the deployment of an ISC...” He continued by saying that an independent evaluation of red light cameras to determine their impact on road safety is expected to be completed in the fall. “Municipal opt-in options cannot be undertaken until those studies are completed later in 2013.” However, he does suggest another study – this one in Salmon Arm, to see if a red light cam-

Alan Harrison CITY COUNCILLOR era would be the best option. Pecknold stated that he has been advised “that the number of reported collisions along this stretch of the TCH warrants a road safety study to verify the types of engineering and road safety improvements that would most benefit pedestrian/vehicle interactions, and that the City of Salmon Arm could qualify for funding from ICBC’s Road Improvement Program.” He continued: “The initial purchase and installation cost of an ISC camera along with ongoing maintenance and ticket processing

costs may not produce the road safety benefits your community anticipates or expects from this level of investment.” Coun. Alan Harrison has long been an advocate for a red light camera and he said the city will continue to pursue one. City politicians will speak to the solicitor general at the upcoming Union of BC Municipalities Convention in order to keep discussions current, he said. “I recognize at intersections like Canada Way (in the Lower Mainland) there’s lots more traffic, but I’m looking after the City of Salmon Arm. Our point is the the Trans-Canada Highway runs through Salmon Arm – that’s unique and has to be considered...” He said city staff will also be checking with ICBC about funding for other measures the city could be taking to mitigate the danger.

POLICE

Beat

Man remains missing Salmon Arm RCMP are requesting the public’s assistance in locating a missing Canoe resident. Harold André Seaward (goes by André), was reported missing Aug. 26. However, police have since learned that Seaward, 55, may have been missing since Aug. 16. Seaward was living alone on his boat at the time of his disappearance. Search and rescue and RCMP dive teams have been combing the area trying to locate him, but without success. Police say a canoe is missing from Seaward’s boat, leading investigating officers to the believe that Seaward may have used it as a mode of transportation. The canoe is described as old and in poor condition. Seaward is described as caucasian, thin and with salt and pepper shoulder-length hair. Anyone with information that may assist police in this investigation is asked to contact the local detachment at 250-832-6044.

Derby dust-up One arrest resulted from a dust-up that followed on the heels of the Salmon Arm Demolition Derby. Police say alcohol played a major role in the Sunday, Aug. 26 disturbance, and that parties involved were uncooperative and hostile towards attending officers. One man was arrested for causing bodily harm but was later released as both victims were found to be heavily intoxicated.

OPINION

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Summer seems ﬂeeting How can it be here already? The last week of summer is upon us. Even though the calendar tells us the summer season isn’t actually over until Friday, Sept. 21, we all know the summer is kaput. You could actually feel the weather turn over the past week. While the days are still warm, the sun’s rays just don’t pack the same wallop as they did a few short days ago at the Roots and Blues Festival. And speaking of that, tonight is your last chance to check out Salmon Arm’s other favourite summer music pastime – Wednesday on the Wharf wraps up its season tonight with Paul Filek on at 6:45. That’s also a sure sign summer’s coming to a close. I’ve spent the last week eating delicious corn on the cob, that quintessential summer food, with every supper in an effort to stave off the feeling that the grey, overcast days and the return to long pants and socks is not far off. The mornings have a distinct chill and each day I lament the fact that it is getting harder and harder to see as I take my morning walk in the park. Soon, I will be relegated to walking on pavement under the streetlights. By the time you are reading this newspaper next week, the kids will be back in school, to the delight of some and the chagrin of others. Suddenly I find myself enmeshed in the juggling act of work schedules, school schedules and extracurricular activities, something that has become more onerous now that I have three kids old enough to want to participate in seemingly every sport and activity under the sun. The closure of Zellers also has me all turned around, as I suddenly realized my search for backpacks and lunchboxes would have to take place elsewhere. It just doesn’t seem like time to be thinking about winter coats, buying boots and figuring out who might need new cross-country skis... but if this summer is any indication, winter’s going to be here before I blink. This summer seems particularly poignant because it has seemed so fleeting. Our exceptionally cool June and the flooding of parks and beaches pushed back that Shuswap summer feeling. On the brighter side, we have worried much less about fires this year than most. Unfortunately for many who rely on it, the tourism industry seemed to be down. The beaches didn’t seem as clogged, grocery store lines didn’t seem as long and I hardly cursed anyone with Alberta plates out on the highway. The local Visitor Information Centre reported fewer people coming into the area, and just my anecdotal chats with merchants seems to bear this out. A short summer could mean tighter belts for these merchants come winter. There is a brighter spot, in that I heard an interview with a meteorologist, who was predicting a slightly warmer September than normal for the Okanagan-Shuswap region. We can all hope.

Editorial

Projects don’t seem small to us Changes to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act mean a number of projects in the Shuswap will now go ahead without federal assessment. What confounds us even more is the rationale given by a Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency spokeswoman: that the changes will affect only projects that are small and pose little or no risk to the environment.” After all, isn’t the whole point of an environmental assessment to determine if a project poses a risk to the ecosystem? How can governments, and the citizens they serve, make an accurate determination of potential impacts without such research? The environment and the many small ecosystems of which it is composed can be incredibly diverse and filled with complexities. Like throw-

ing a small pebble into a pond, a small change could eventually develop-wide ranging ripples. A few of these developments, including the West Beach proposal for the mouth of the Adams River and the Old Town Bay development in Sicamous, have already proved to be contentious in the region. Citizens are asking questions about what impacts these proposals would have on fish, wildlife and the native flora and fauna. This is not to say that all development must be stifled, but these projects deserve careful review of their impacts before proceeding. While these projects may seem low-risk to some bigwig sitting in an Ottawa office building, they are anything but for the people who actually live here and must accept the consequences, whatever they may be, of these proposed projects. To us they are anything but little.

Jaxon Hubbard Yes. I’m excited about going into French Immersion.”

A case of studying projects to death BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his first acts as premier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat. The two-year federal-led review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix proposes to start a new provincial assessment to examine at the B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under questioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipeline to death. Fresh from a summer tour of the pipeline route to reaffirm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier Christy Clark did in her showdown with Alberta over benefits, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused. The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some rational sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged out for years. The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more complaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along with court cases and direct-action protests. Speaking of which, the frontal assault by agitators at the federal Enbridge hearings has mostly petered out. After 4,000-odd people were signed up to speak, most didn’t bother, and some hearings were cancelled. Apparently slacktivists such as “Jonathan L. Seagull” and “Cave Man” didn’t make it out of their Vancouver basement suites to tell the panel oil is bad. Professional environmentalists are now

wringing their hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province. This means, for example, that there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed refit of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River. One reader suggested that environmental pioneer Roderick Haig-Brown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact? NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the B.C. Liberals about this in the spring, reminding them that Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, even before Ottawa’s changes. Fleming makes it sound like a huge new burden has been dumped on B.C. False. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aboriginal communities. This is why it’s so long and expensive. And don’t be fooled into believing that a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles and caribou again. It’s only the desk jobs that have proliferated. There weren’t just two levels of duplicate review, but three. Earlier in their mandate, the B.C. Liberals exempted major projects such as mines and energy generation from local government control, citing the “provincial interest” similar to the federal authority over projects that cross provincial borders. I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general. Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.

Kennedy Amdam “Yes, because I’ll get to see all my friends.”

Mataia Makela Yes, because I like school.”

Attacks purely hypocritical Why is Christy Clark being singled out and criticized for holding “women-only” outreach events when politicians of all stripes have been doing the same for years. I recall that Gordon Campbell regularly met with groups of women when he was premier and yet he was never attacked for it. Likewise, the NDP have a gender and sexual orientation policy which dictates who can run for them as a candidate. And

don’t tell me Adrian Dix has never attended a women’s meeting? So why are the media carrying out this insanely hypocritical attack on Christy Clark? A prime example: CKNW has a women-only political panel going after her. Is it because the media have become so rigidly biased against Christy Clark that anything goes now? Mike Taylor

Pipeline opportunities abound Media mogul David Black has my full support for his proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery near Kitimat to process heavy oil from the Enbridge pipeline. I’ve had the same idea myself. Why should we let the Asian countries buy our Canadian crude oil and refine it for their markets when we could add value by refining it here in B.C. and shipping them the finished product? This is a strategy that would create local jobs for our own citizens and address the environmental concerns around oil tankers travelling in B.C.’s coastal waters. I know for a fact that Alberta wants to do this because I worked on a project in East Edmonton (a stone’s throw from the refineries in Fort Saskatchewan) that would have seen it become a reality. And as long as Enbridge meets the conditions and stan-

dards set out by the premier, moving heavy oil from Alberta through a pipeline would be a heck of a lot better than shipping it by rail or truck. That’s why B.C. should be working with Alberta on exactly the kind of joint interprovincial venture David Black is proposing, one that would bring value-added tertiary oil refining to B.C. along with the heavy oil pipeline. Shipping gasoline, jet fuel and other refined oil products by tanker is just as practical as shipping crude oil, and lot safer from an environmental standpoint. So let’s not waste this opportunity and the revenue and jobs it could bring to our province. There’s a lot we could do here in B.C. with a piece of the oil industry pie. Roop Virk

Not Vancouver, thank goodness Recently, I was a first-time visitor to Salmon Arm, while visiting my husband’s parents who had just moved there. It was a very hot summer day as we were strolling downtown and looking in the shops, when we needed to buy some water for our thirsty dog. I went into a sandwich shop to buy the water and the man behind the counter, (presumably the owner) kindly also offered a dish to put it in as well. When I inquired as to how much, he replied “no charge.” When I clicked my jaw shut enough to insist that I pay something, he once again

refused payment. I thanked him kindly and remarked to another couple as I was leaving, “That would never happen in Vancouver.” To which they replied, “Good thing you’re not in Vancouver.” Indeed. Thank you Salmon Arm. Not only were our parents accurate about the beauty of Salmon Arm, but about the kindness and generosity of the people in it. Beth and Steve Doyle (and their dog Bailey)

Fighting for smoke-free parks

FROM THE

Sapper Wilson Kew, son of ex-reeve W.J. Kew, returned home after four years overseas service. Also home were Private and Mrs. William Waddell. A.E.Tweeddale opened a shop at the rear of George Hastie’s for the purpose of repairing harness, auto tops and for upholstering.

1929

Manager Carroll opened his theatre again after the summer holidays closure and announced that though the new talkies were too expensive for Salmon Arm, orchestration would be improved. Rodeo events, field sports, horse racing, tugof-war, and trotting races were among the highlights of the 1929 Legion Sports Day.

Mr. and Mrs. G.G. Duncan reported seeing a strange creature swimming near Sunnybrae. They said it was striped, about two feet long, had two protrusions resembling ears and was swimming with its head about six inches out of the water. They said the snake-like creature was definitely not a snake. The SODICA board studied plans for a modern 105-foot-long creamery proposed for Salmon Arm. The only Rolls Royce in this part of the province was destroyed when flames swept through the garage of Reginald Seed Sr. of Sicamous.

Chronic silting of the channel to Salmon Arm wharf again blocked the channel and Capt. Frank Smith of the Shuswap Lake Ferry Service announced that service to the community would be discontinued. Roy Chappell, 55, of Kamloops was located by searchers after having been missing for 22 days in rugged mountains north of Celista. A storm of controversy arose in B.C. as highways minister P.A. Gagliardi announced an increase from 50 miles to 60 miles per hour in the highway speed limit.

Dan MacQuarrie took up his fight against smoking in 1966 and now, at 85 years old, is showing no signs of backing off from his mission for a smoke-free society. MacQuarrie, who at one time had a four-pack-a-day habit himself, first began his antismoking crusade in Salmon Arm when he became a city councillor 46 years ago. He was disgusted with having to share closed council chambers with a group of smokers, and the headaches and smelly clothes that went along with it. He’s going back to the council chambers with a new request this fall — for the city to get behind a ban on smoking in all city parks, beaches and sports fields. “Primarily because that’s where children gather,” he says. “To me it’s child abuse to have children forced to take in second-hand smoke at places they go to play.” The city already has a clean air bylaw, which prohibits smoking inside all public buildings and was expanded to include the outdoor children’s playground at Fletcher Park. However, the vast majority of outdoor areas are fair game for smokers to light up. MacQuarrie was recently recognized by Interior Health as a Smoke Free Champion of Change for his dedication to the non-smoking cause. “When this (award) happened, I wanted to be sure to put it to good use, to keep on spreading the message. So I’ve written this letter to city council, talked to the mayor and it will be coming before them in the near future.” Particularly concerning for MacQuarrie is the trend for

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Still in action: Now 85, Dan MacQuarrie is committed to make Salmon Arm smoke-free. He is seeking an expansion of the city’s clean air bylaw. increased smoking among young women. “The incidence of teen smoking has been dropping, dropping, except now in females according to the latest research. These young women are not only hurting themselves, but they will be raising the next generation. Smoking in pregnancy is simply not healthy, so we need to do everything we can to turn that around.” After decades of working towards tobacco reduction, MacQuarrie says he’s still encouraged to keep it up. Tenacity, he says, is the key to success. “I was just at the doctor for my check-up and he’s says I’m good for another 100,000 miles. When I brought this up, he told me to keep on to it. There has been a lot of change, but the problem has not gone away. I’m just going to keep at it.”

Outdoor smoking bans Why implement a smoke free outdoor public places bylaw? • Protect the public from second-hand smoke. The U.S. Surgeon General, in a report issued in June 2006, concluded from scientific evidence that second-hand smoke causes cancer, coronary heart disease, and respiratory illnesses and that there is no safe level of exposure to it. • Second-hand smoke does not dissipate quickly in outdoor settings. Many people believe that the natural air movement and open space outside will make second-hand smoke dissipate without harmful exposure to those nearby. Depending upon the specific situation, smoke levels generally do not decrease to the background level for fine particles or carcinogens until approximately seven metres, or about 25 feet, from the source, even in outdoor settings. • Protect children, who are more susceptible to health risks. Children in particular are more susceptible to these health problems, since their lungs and respiratory systems are not yet fully developed. • Decrease negative role modeling, especially for children. If children and youth are not exposed to adult smoking behaviour, they may be less likely to think of it as normal. Since most smokers start before the age of 21, this is important for public health.

Buoys targeted in new bylaw By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

A bylaw that regulates docks and buoys on area lakes is now in place – and it has teeth. Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors passed Bylaw 900, which applies to all first-time or replacement docks, private mooring buoys and swimming platforms on Shuswap, Mara, Adams, White, Little White, Humamilt and Hunakwa lakes. The bylaw will regulate the number, size and setback of these structures as well as uses on the lake be they private or commercial moorings. As local government zoning bylaws are not retroactive, if docks and buoys complied with the regulations of the day, they are legal under the new bylaw as well. However, the CSRD is only one of a number

of agencies with jurisdiction over the foreshore and water. Provincial Private Moorage Guidelines apply in all areas, whether they are zoned by the CSRD or not. Federal regulations also apply through DFO and Transport Canada. A member of the regional district’s Planning and Development Services when work on the bylaw began several years ago, Marcin Pachcinski’s presentation to the board drew laughter. “This is the most important bylaw since Confederation,” he said. “We got ministerial approval in July… it was a four-year process that took 40 years off my life.” Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin and Area F North Shuswap director Larry Morgan praised Pachcinski for his patience and ability to remain calm when

Five candidates vie for Area C byelection Five people have declared their candidacy for a Columbia Shuswap Regional District byelection. Nominations closed at 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 24, for the position of Electoral Area ‘C’ Director, to replace Ted Bacigalupo who passed away in June.

Declaring their candidacy are Dan Adrian, Cal Cosh, Phil Demenok, Chris George and Opal Hendrickson. The successful candidate will serve for the remainder of the current term, which ends in the fall of 2014. General voting day is Sept. 29.

Potential penalties With the Lakes Zoning Bylaw now in place, violation of the bylaw will result in enforcement and ticketing, as follows: • Obstructing an officer – $500 • Unauthorized use or structure – $200 • Exceeding the maximum number of swimming platforms, docks, private mooring buoys, or berths – $200 • Exceeding the maximum size of swimming platforms, docks or walkways, including length and width – $200 • Violation of setbacks for swimming platforms, docks, private mooring buoys, or boat lifts – $200 • Unauthorized use of a swimming platform – $200

members of the public vented their anger toward him at community meetings. Meanwhile, CSRD staff will launch an information and education program for waterfront property owners and lake users in spring 2013. For more information on Lakes Zoning Bylaw No. 900, go to

Legendary Canuck to speak at SILGA event By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A former hockey player well-known to B.C. residents will be adding a little excitement to an upcoming convention. Salmon Arm is hosting the 2013 SILGA annual general meeting and convention, which stands for Southern Interior Local Government Association. It represents about 30 municipalities and six regional districts of the southern Interior. Guest speaker at the convention will be former NHL All-Star and Olympian Trevor Linden. Linden’s NHL career spanned over 19 years, four teams, two All-Star games and the Nagano Olympic Games, states

Trevor Linden TO ADDRESS CONFERENCE Speakers’ Spotlight website, where he is featured. He was the youngest captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Linden retired on July 11, 2008 after 19 seasons and more than 1,300 games, and has been dedicating his time to humanitarian efforts and contributing to his charity, the Trevor Linden Foundation. Listed on Pro Speakers.com, his speaking topics are

listed as leadership, motivation and teamwork. Mayor Nancy Cooper expressed her excitement with Linden’s participation, noting there is expected to be an opportunity for the public to meet Linden while he’s here. Coun. Chad Eliason, who is the City of Salmon Arm’s representative on SILGA, has been booking the speakers for the event. Cooper stated she’s pleased the convention, which will run from Wednesday, May 1 to Friday, May 3 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, is taking place in Salmon Arm. “I think it is a wonderful opportunity for Salmon Arm to be hosting this event. It is our chance to highlight our wonderful city.”

NEW FINE ARTS STUDIO HOLDS GRAND OPENING SEPTEMBER 7th

nterested in tapping into your inner creativity or wishing to further yourself in a previously discovered art form? You’ll be happy to learn that FACES is opening in the South Shuswap on September 7th. FACES, Fine Arts Community Explorations in the Shuswap, welcomes everyone to their Grand Opening event on Friday September 7th from 630 to 830. The public is invited to come down and tour the new studios, meet the teachers and indulge in a refreshment or dessert. The studios are located on the lower level of the Blind Bay Marketplace Mall, next to the space Field’s used to occupy. FACES has four studios to serve the community with plans to expand, adding a second dance studio within a year. Classes are offered for all ages from tots right through to seniors and all levels, introductory to advanced. Area residents Karen Brown and Claire Burgoyne had a vision to bring a studio of this na-

ture to the community and now it’s finally here. “The residents of this area have chosen to live here for a variety of reasons. Whether raising a new family or entering mid-life or approaching their twilight years, they recognize that there is no place in our province that is more beautiful.” says Brown. “Residents know how to embrace the lifestyle here whether it’s pursuing outdoor activities in the warmer months or taking up new hobbies like an art form in the cooler months. They are up for anything for themselves or their children and we’re hoping that they can explore something new at FACES” Adds Brown “It could have been very easy to start this fine arts program out of an existing centre or hall however part of our plans were to create a space that the residents of the South Shuswap could call their own when it came to pursuing art, dance, music, voice or theatre.” And that has become their mission statement. To the left of the entrance doors reads a

sign “At FACES our goal is to provide our community members with a place to gather while exploring their creativity”. Walking through the doors, one first finds a beautiful, bright art studio where one can take drawing, painting, sculpture, clay, fabric & fibre art and collage, just to name a few of the course offerings. Across the hall, there are two private soundproofed studios where one can take up voice or music lessons. And lastly, toward the back, is the dance studio, complete with a clean air exchange system and a free-floating sprung floor, both installed to keep the dancers and teachers comfortable. “It is very important for students to be dancing on a sprung floor. It not only enhances performance, it greatly reduces chance of injury as well. When we were designing the studios, the dancers’ safety and future health was at the forefront, therefore putting in the sprung floor system was a must.” And the quality of the

studio design is matched by the quality of teachers stepping forward, all eager to teach within its walls. One such teacher is Claire Burgoyne. During her sixteen years as an educator, Claire has worked with children and youth in both public and private education. She led numerous community arts events while teaching in Penticton and Nanaimo

and has enthusiastically worked with young artists to assist youth in discovering their own creativity. She holds a BFA in Visual Arts, teaching credentials from the University of Victoria and is currently completing a Master of Education Technology degree. Claire is passionate about seeing various projects such as student gallery show-

ings and dinner theatre come to our area. She will offer her services to teach a number of visual arts classes at FACES. Throughout the year, FACES will welcome guest teachers in to hold day-long workshops teaching anything from oriental brush painting to the art of bellydance. And beginning next summer, children will be welcomed to enrol

for weeklong camps or daycamps in a variety of fine arts. FACES is certainly shaping up to be a fine arts centre serving all of our community. Registration forms can be downloaded or completed online or you can obtain more information by calling Karen at 250 515 3276. (Paid advertisement)

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Expand your skills & interests Shuswap School Taking a night class or a series of lessons might start out as just a pleasant way to pass time, but be prepared to discover a new passion that will contribute to your personal fulfillment. Guitar, stained glass, watercolour painting, photography, computers, yoga: the choice of activities and classes is virtually endless! If you’re a parent, one of your roles is to ensure that your children are aware of all the different activities open to them. Learning new skills will help them discover their talents and increase their feeling of self-worth outside of academic success. They will learn one of life’s great lessons at a young age: that a hobby is a necessary escape from daily life in order to find balance and the ability to cope with stress. Perhaps they will continue to cultivate this newfound interest for many years to come! Or perhaps they will wander from one interest to another only to go back to one of them as an adult. Whatever the case, they will expand their horizons and develop their self-esteem. Are you retired or about to be? It’s never too late to discover talents which up to now have lain dormant. Traveling and relaxation cannot possibly fill all the spare time that is now available to you. All types of classes can give a sense of purpose to this new stage of your life and allow you to grow to your full potential. If you’re in the middle of your active life, somewhere between childhood and retirement, don’t dismiss the possibility of taking classes because you’re too busy. Look at this activity as an investment in your quality of life and a way to have fun.

A campfire ban remains in place in all of the Okanagan, including the Vernon and Penticton fire zones. Open burning continues to be prohibited throughout the Kamloops Fire Centre, which

includes Salmon Arm. This prohibition applies to open fires larger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide, fires with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks and burning barrels.

Campaign against counterfeit cash By Cavelle Layes OBSERVER STAFF

After a recent rise in counterfeit bills in the area, Bank of Canada representatives have been making their way around the region educating the RCMP, store owners and employees about how to detect fakes. Farid Salji, analyst and member of the Bank of Canada’s currency awareness and education team has a goal of decreasing the amount of fraud that occurs in the Interior. He has been teaching merchants and police how to identify fake Canadian notes, as well as how to prevent debt card, cheque, money order and currency fraud, through the use of a number of advanced and easy-touse kits. The new series of polymer bills, including the new $20-bill which will be released in November of this year, has three simple and quick ways of testing for authenticity. No more holding the bill up to the light, squinting your eyes and tilting your head. Salji says the new bills, “are way more durable, they are environmentally friendly, and they are state of the art when it comes to security. Whenever we design a new series, we pride ourselves on security being our top priority, and these are the best notes in the world when it comes to security.” Rumors that the polymer bills have melted from the summer heat in the Okanagan area are, from what Salji believes, just rumors. He explains, “these bills have been durability tested for extreme cold and extreme heat. So as long as they are being used the way money is supposed to they would be fine.” He continues to explain that the new bills are 100 per cent waterproof, so they can go through complete laundry cycle and come out without a problem. A number of security

features have gone into the new notes. “It is a combination of complex holography and transparency,” says Salji. These are state-ofthe-art bills, explains Salji, so a counterfeiter cannot actually replicate them, they can only mimic certain features. Criminals usually try to chat while handing over the fake money in an attempt at distraction, he says. He explains that those trying to pass counterfeit cash will most likely come by at busy times, which is why merchants always have to be aware of the cash they are being given. Salji says that store employees can now check for counterfeits more quickly than ever. The $20s, $50s and $100s have all the same security features but have a different person and different building. Each bill should have the same portrait in the centre of the bill in the

The image should be very sharp in colour and detail. The building’s doors, walls, and windows, should also all have a colour shift when tilted and the denominations should change colour. The $20 also has a Canadian flag on the

building that has the maple leaf on it when tilted. When the bill is flipped around everything on the back is exactly the same as on the front. The clarity, quality, and sharpness is all there, only the image is reverse. There is also a maple leaf located to the left of the bill which should be completely transparent. “While it takes a

while to explain what to look for,” says Salji, “it takes you a second to check for the three details. Just take a quick glance at the bill and look for the portrait, the foil and the transparency, if all three are there, it is almost certainly not a fake.”

Another great season with Idaho begins Salmon Arm’s Jill Flockhart continues to perform well for the University of Idaho Vandals. In a game last week versus Gonzaga University, Idaho (1-2-0) exploded out of the gates, controlled possession and went up 1-0 on tremendous build-up when senior Erica Hart cruised up the right sideline and sent a pass in to fellow senior Megan Lopez, who juked a defender and popped a pass across goal to senior Jill Flockhart, who tapped it in. However, the team

Jill Flockhart SOCCER later lost its intensity, surrendering three goals in a 26-minute span, resulting in a 3-2 loss. In their next match, University of Idaho women’s soccer knew

coming in that they were facing an aggressive, direct, North Dakota State team, and they countered it with strong possession in a 2-0 victory on Sunday. After a scoreless first half, Idaho (2-20) broke through in the 70th minute with the senior connection of Flockhart to Chelsea Small to put the Vandals up 1-0. Flockhart slipped past a North Dakota State University (1-30) defender and left a cross for Small, who slid it under the diving goalkeeper for the score.

TED champs Salmon Arm’s TED United finished as champions of the NOWSA Masters division with an unbeaten record of 18-0-2. Under the guidance of coaches Alan Oates and John Wilson, United played a blend of skillful, silky soccer mixed with pace and determination, recording a massive 121 goals and conceding only 17 in the 20-game season. The coaches say the veterans on the squad were supplemented by newcomers to the game who gave their all to

make this season a remarkable success. When addressing the squad at the wind-up, Coach Wilson said, “Not only were you successful soccer players, you were also a great bunch who encouraged and supported each other.” Also completing another great season in the North Okanagan’s Women’s Soccer Association Masters Division were Salmon Arm Setters Pub, Shuswap Merlot and Shuswap Kaos. Salmon Arm also had able representation in Division 1 with Glenn Power.

Sockeyes enjoy gold rush The Salmon Arm Sockeyes swim club concluded a successful season with a fantastic showing at the Provincial Championships, held Aug. 17-19 in Nanaimo. The club’s team earned 12 gold medals (second highest overall), and finished fifth in medals and eighth in points. All but one of Salmon Arm’s 28 swimmers qualified for the A or B finals, and 20 returned as part of relay medal-winning teams. The team was led by Stephen Moore, who not only won all four of his 9- and 10-yearold boys events, but set two provincial records (breaststroke and individual medley) in the process. His younger sister, Julianne, won three gold and a bronze in the 8-and-under. Tricia Fair broke through with her firstever provincial gold in the 13- and 14-year-old 100 free, and added two silver medals in the 50 free and 100 back. Eliza Jane Kitchen, 15, added three individual silver

The 8-and-under boys won two relay medals, with three of the four boys returning to the category next year. The team of Matthew Bushell, Eric Moore, Rowan Trow and Connor Levins had great individual swims as well, with Bushell winning the bronze in the 50 backstroke. Trow

and Eric Moore made five finals, while Levins added a strong breaststroke consolation final. The 11-year-old girls, Chantel Jeffrey, Claire Hall, Aria IzikDzurko and Megan Hart, claimed silver in the freestyle relay, and Jeffrey went on to win the 50 fly and claim bronze in the 50 back. Hall capped a strong season with a bronze in the 100 Free. The girls showed their strength and depth when Emma Levins made the B final in the 50 fly, making it

an unprecedented five swimmers in one age category making the finals or B finals. Brayden Gilliam added to his all-time medal haul with a convincing four-second victory in the 15-year-old 100 fly, and silver in the 50 fly. Younger brother Gaelyn was part of the 13- and 14-year-old boys silver and bronze medal relay teams (Gaelyn Gilliam, Matthew Nesdoly, Jaeden Izik-Dzurko and Matt Cooper) to win two medals for an unprecedented sixth provincials in a row. Nesdoly and Jaeden also made two individual finals and 2 B finals, while Gaelyn and Cooper made 7 B finals. The 10- and 11 yearold-boys of Stephen Moore, Jamie Trow, Tyler Bushell and Sunny Pickup all made individual A or B finals (12 combined), and then combined for an unexpected and dramatic medal in the medley relay. Alexander Corbett had all best times and made three finals; his

sister Keeya made three B finals and Abbie Nesdoly, Samantha Wex, Julia Hart and Megan Fair all made it into B finals. Jon Wex had great swims and is a strong contender entering the 2013 season, while Natajsha Nesdoly provided strong team leadership for many of the younger swimmers, leading them on relay teams. Davis Wuolle made a return to the Sockeyes to pick up a bronze in the open boys category for breaststroke. Coach Chelsea Stadynk added several strong final swims, and Emma-Leigh Chapman swam great to make all four 11-year-old girls finals. The Sockeyes take a break, but will begin their twice-a-week winter maintenance program in the fall before gearing up next May to defend their Okanagan Regional Championship and attempt a top 10 provincial finish for a fourth year in a row.

Dan Schager of NOD Eagle Homes tries to get control of the ball with Jesse Knight of NET closing in during the men’s semi-final game in Vernon last Wednesday night. NOD had knocked out Revelstoke 2-0 the previous Sunday, but it was NET who moved on to the final, after winning 3-0. Vernon’s Turnkey outlasted their host Salmon Arm Courvas 2-1 at Little Mountain Field to also advance.

THE SALMON ARM

SILVERBACKS SPOTLIGHT The BCHL doesn’t keep stats on blocked shots and pain killers taken, but if they did the man to the right would surely lead the league. Twenty year old Kimberly, B.C native and returning defenseman Bennett Hambrook wasn’t just a leader in the dressing room in his first season with the SilverBacks; he did it on the ice as well. With his often terrifying reckless abandon for his own well-being, and he says he’s ready for another season after a grueling summer, “Twice a day work-outs, in the morning and after work, lots of running and a ton of time in the weight room.” Hambrook says the attitude around the Shaw Centre has done a complete 180, “It’s amazing to see the turnaround with the guys coming in, the front-office staff, the hockey staff and the community; everyone’s ready to go and has huge expectations. It is really exciting to be a part of.” It’s clear that he’s heard the message from Head Coach and GM Troy Mick, as well, “We’re not going to sit back; we are going to push. No let-up, no give-up, up by five or down by five the guys are going to go hard no matter what.” Your SilverBacks host the Vipers this Friday at 7pm in the last exhibition game at the Shaw before the Vipers return on Friday September 14th at 7pm for the home opener.

The bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back at Haney It has been said that James Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories flow more like a gentle stream than the raging river of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern world. From the moment Murray walks out onto the stage, he has an impact on his audiences. Whether making them laugh, bringing a tear to their eye or simply bringing back some precious memories, his stories strike an emotional chord with each and every person who hears them. On Sunday afternoon, Sept. 2, at 4 p.m., storyteller James Murray will take the stage of the new R. J. Haney Heritage Village amphitheatre for the Second Annual Burger, Beer and a Bard. Come out and enjoy a gourmet burger, a glass of Crannog Ale and an afternoon of delightful stories with James Murray, accompanied by violinist Aimee Balloun. Tickets are $15 available through Touch â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Texas and Haney Heritage Village. Those who have seen and listened to Murray on stage often say that he has a very special ability to make each and every audience member feel like he is telling his stories just to them. His informal stage presentation and comfortable storytelling manner just seems to invite listeners into the kitchen - where they can sit around, laugh and enjoy his often humorous, sometimes poignant, but always entertaining stories. Balloun, who has won multiple gold metals in violin and piano at the Shuswap Music Festival and is the current concert master for the Okanagan Youth Orchestra, brings a unique musical touch to the show.

So the story goes: Storyteller James Murray, accompanied by violinist Aimee Balloun, will be performing Sunday, Sept. 2 at R. J. Haney Heritage Village. Over the years Murray has received numerous accolades and awards for both his writing and storytelling. He is a three-time winner of the much-esteemed Ron Miller Storyteller Award from the Outdoor Writers of Canada and most recently he was honoured with a Paul Harris Fellowship. A Fair Exchange Of Gifts, Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderfully heartwarming and poignant story about what he would give his old dog Duffy for Christmas brought tears to many a listenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye when it first aired on CBC Radio at Christmas back in 2003. Murray continues to tell the story to appreciative audiences - now by popular demand. Murray performs regularly in theatres, at coffee houses, festivals, schools, workshops and conferences. He has performed

on stage everywhere from the McNee Centre in Vancouver to Music By The River in Enderby, the Mountain Arts Festival to the Stseptekwle Storytelling Festival and Shuswap International Writers Festival. He has shared the stage locally with the likes of Greg Sczebel, Ted Crouch and Blu and Kelly Hopkins, as well as Valdy, Garnett Rogers and the Okanagan Symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Denis Letourneau and Susan Shaeffer. Murray says that he is looking forward to performing on the stage of the new amphitheatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to be able to connect with an audience â&#x20AC;Ś to watch their expressions, to see it in their eyes when they are relating to a particular story. For me, the audience is an integral part of the storytelling process.â&#x20AC;? Get tickets early so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed.

Switch up for ﬁlm society By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

They’ll be back, but in a new time slot. The Shuswap Film Society brings back a full fall slate, beginning Sept. 8. While the society’s films will continue to reel out Saturday movie nights, they will do so at 5 p.m. rather than 7:30 p.m. The Wednesday documentary nights will remain with a 7:30 p.m. start time. On the third Saturday of each month, the film society will have both 5 and 7:30 p.m. showings, something that will give them a chance to show their feature twice, or bring in two films. “We have been lucky to get the prime eve-

ning slot for many years, and now we need to make a change to accommodate the Salmar Theatre’s regular film program,” says Anne Caughlan, film society programmer and media relations rep. “Both the Salmar Management and the Shuswap Film Society are happy to work together for mutual benefit in this amazing community we live in, whereby the Salmar Community Association owns both cinemas and all the profits from showing movies stays in our town.” “There will be refreshments in the lobby when the doors open at 4:30 p.m. and, as we have to vacate the lobby for the Salmar regular movie, we have arranged a dinner

Both the Salmar Management and the Shuswap Film Society are happy to work together for mutual beneﬁt in this amazing community we live in...

Anne Caughlan SHUSWAP FILM SOCIETY discount with a few downtown restaurants for our audience,” says Caughlan. “You can pick up a voucher for a 10 per cent discount on a meal or half-price appetizers at some of our wonderful local eateries.” The new season begins Sept. 8 with Boy,

followed by Bernie on Sept.15, The Intouchables Sept. 22, Marley on Sept. 26 and Hysteria Sept. 29. October’s showing begin on the 6th with Beasts of the Southern Wild, followed by Safety Not Guaranteed on the 13th, Your Sister’s Sister and Take This Waltz on the 20th, The World Before Her Oct. 24 and The Lady on the 27th. For more information, see the fall program guide when it is released at www.shuswapfilm.net. “It is our hope that our audience can shift with us in this new time slot and support our efforts to bring the best of the world in foreign and avantgarde film to the Shuswap,” Caughlin says.

Newest Probus Club set to meet in September The new Probus Club of Salmon Arm will resume its monthly meetings on Sept. 4, in the library at the Downtown Activity Centre. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and the formal meeting commences at 10 a.m. This month’s speaker is from the Shuswap Trail Alliance, giving us an overview of their activities. Probus Salmon Arm was formed in the spring of 2012, and was presented with its charter by Bob Priest of Probus Shuswap at the June meeting.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What if you were to walk through a single day saying to your self, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so lucky!â&#x20AC;?? At first, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d likely feel silly. Right now, the phrase is closer to the truth than anything else you may think about the possibilities and potentials of your life. Tap into a lucky streak. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What if I could promise you big fame, success, and massive opportunity? It might be hard to believe, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. Sure, a chance to move closer to a dream might not also come with the financial boost you hope, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long overdue. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The bigger you think, the more likely you are to achieve your aims. The only thing that would get in the way is thinking too small. You could take advantage of a career boost. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bigger than you imagined, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for it. Let opportunity excite you. CANCER (June 21-July 22): If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought about the reach you could have, an offer to an adventure takes the consideration a step further. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asked to consider the new. It requires moving out of your comfort zone. Matters of higher education and travel are especially blessed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There is care on offer, letting you know a kind Universe provides. For some Leoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, this will be an emotional moment that leads you to feel safe. For others, this can mean an offer of money. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy about developments. Worry gives way to a feeling of abundance and gratitude. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about love this week. Ordinarily, that might be exciting, but for you there might be some trepidation. A talk thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long overdue takes place, helping you reach consensus and resolutions. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now clearer about what you want from a partner and will not settle. #206 â&#x20AC;˘ How to play: Complete the grid so every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There may be one work related situation or environment that comes to a welcome close now. You make adjustments well and are excited about the possibilities of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ahead. You can seize a chance to parlay the changes into a boost up for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Every nineteen years, destiny point the North Node enters your sign, marking a phase that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look back on as a turning point, when random, if not fated events brought you in line with a higher vision. An important cycle starts for you now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A home matter comes to a head. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re determined to change your surroundings. The way to it is within reach. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also redefining what it means to feel comfortable in your own skin, providing you with a renewed sense of safety and security. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If there ever was a week to brainstorm and put together a plan for prosperity and accomplishment, it is now. Quick, random interactions spur your creativity, expand your perception of what is possible, but most importantly, introduce you to previously elusive ideas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There are strong financial undertones, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making purposeful moves to secure your bottom line. The changes may raise doubts, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right to bet on your ability to bring about abundance. Play your cards right and worries about money become a thing of the past. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A Full Moon in your sign denotes an important understanding. It leads to an appreciation of what you want and how to work smarter towards it. You might wonder if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being over-optimistic, but the enthusiasm and power you feel lets you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the right path.

TOMPKINS, FLOYD December 8th, 1923 – August 17th, 2012 With heavy hearts we announce the passing of a real cowboy, Floyd Tompkins. He was predeceased by the love of his life Eileen of 40 years. He is survived by his brother Lewis, and predeceased by brothers Eddie, Earl, Russell and sisters Eva and Edna, also predeceased by grandson Harlen. Floyd is survived by his children Harley (Glenda), Echo (Murray), Bonnie (Oliver) and Wayde (Rhonda), his eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren, and his numerous nephews and nieces. Also, by Eileen’s children Ken (Shirley) deceased, Bob (Barb), Roberta (Will), Allan (Jean) and Susan (Doug), ten grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren. Floyd was the last of 13 children born to Charles and Annie Tompkins in Chilliwack, B.C. At a very young age he left for the Cariboo via horseback. He met up with his brother, Earl, and together they ran wild horses and cows. They built log homes and corrals in remote areas to capture these animals. They would then ‘head and tail’ them to Kamloops to sell. In the late 50’s Floyd ventured to Kamloops/Chase area making a living as a cowboy and big game outﬁtter to the Americans and Europeans. He was a true gentleman in the sense that there would be no swearing around women, he tipped his hat, opened car doors and walked on the proper side of the lady with the expectations that these traits be carried on by his children and grandchildren. In 1972 Floyd met Eileen Harrison at a Pritchard dance which was the beginning of their 40 years love affair. This love extended to both families. Also with loving hearts they reached out to all. They spent 14 years traveling as snowbirds. Due to health problems their travel was limited however; they still continued to venture to Alaska twice, once by motorhome, which Floyd always said they did not give themselves enough time, and once by ship. In their travels they saw the Grand Ole Opry, Graceland, and all family throughout the country. He always dreamed of visiting Australia. Floyd never missed the opportunity to play a prank, or a joke on any innocent victim. The twinkle was always in his eye. His passion for life lead to the writing of 2 books: The Mad Hunt for Those Ruby Eyes, and Honest Memories of One Man’s Life. The families would like to thank Dr. Avanessian, the special girls at the Cancer Clinic and at Parkside, and the kindness and exceptional care at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home. A funeral service was held Thursday, August 23rd in the Chase Community Hall. Interment followed at Duck Range Cemetery and then followed by tea at the Harrison Ranch. In lieu of ﬂowers the family wishes donations in memory of Floyd Tompkins to the Marjorie Snowden Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

JOAN BLOMQUIST

Joan Lindsay Blomquist passed away peacefully in Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC on Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at the age of 89 years. Born Joan Lindsay Turner in Preston, Lancashire, England on February 23, 1923, she was raised by her grandmother, coming to Canada in 1926 to Manitoba and in her late teen’s moving to Vancouver. Joan was proud of her service in the Army Pipe Band during WW 11, traveling to many locations and had the pleasure of shaking hands with the Queen. She married Walter Blomquist on November 9, 1956 and moved to Malakwa, where she quickly started her family. Joan loved nature, animals of all sizes, never giving a second thought to what her girls brought home. She is well remembered for her love of cooking, baking, especially her Chinese Food. Determination and being outspoken was part of her personality, at the same time she enjoyed humor, was very social, and believed happiness was important in this life. Survived by her loving family, husband, Walter; 2 daughters, Judy Johnston of Malakwa, and Coleen (Neil) Reiswig of Sicamous; 4 grandchildren, Hailey and Taren Johnston, Kent and Brennen Reiswig, ½ brother, Joe Welsh of Singapore. A celebration of life service was held from the Malakwa Community Hall on Saturday afternoon, August 25th at 1 p.m. with Jack Bowers the celebrant. Tributes were shared by family and friends with Honors presented by comrades of the Sicamous Royal Canadian Legion. Interment followed in the family plot in Malakwa Cemetery with daughters Coleen and Judy the urn bearers. Honorary Pallbearers were Neil, Kent and Brennen Reiswig, Bruce, Kent and Bryan Blomquist. A reception, provided by the community members, followed back in the Hall, allowing time for friends to continue sharing memories with the family. In lieu of ﬂowers, memorial donations may be sent to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation, Box 265, Salmon Arm, BC VIE 4N3 Email condolences may be sent to Joan’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements were in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Voice of the Shuswap gets CRTC licence By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission has now approved the Voice of the Shuswap Broadcast Society’s application for a broadcasting licence to operate a lowpower community FM radio station in Salmon Arm. The new station will operate at 93.7 on the FM dial. “It was an important hurdle for us to cross ad we are delighted to have reached this point,” said Warren Bell, president of the board of the Voice of the Shuswap Broadcast Society. “It’s a great leap closer to being on the air.” The station’s application includes broadcasting 98 hours of programming each week, of which 62 hours would be station-produced programming. Although the primary language will be English, there will be two hours of programming in French, one hour in German and one hour in Secwepemctsin, a language of the Shuswap bands. The Voice of the Shuswap Broadcast Society is a non-profit group and the station will be run by volunteers. The society intends to develop partnerships with the Salmon Arm Folk Music and the Roots and Blues societies in order to develop programs incorporating local and international music, discographies and artists’ profiles. Spoken word programming would consist of local information, news, weather, community calendars and announcements as well as emergency messages. Voice of the Shuswap intends to develop various spoken word programs, such as live theatre, local sports coverage, story reading, spirituality and interfaith dialogues, parenting and children’s programs, call-in shows, environmental, business and political coverage, travel ideas and events

promotion activities. The commission expects community radio stations to provide programming differing in style and substance from that provided by

other elements of the broadcasting system, particularly commercial radio stations and the CBC. Such programming should consist of music, especially Cana-

dian music, not generally heard on commercial stations (including special interest music, as well as styles of popular music seldom broadcast), in-depth spoken

word programming and programming targeted to specific groups within the community. The group will next move forward with establishing their tower

transmitter in the Fly Hills and hope to go live on the air before the end of the year. Bell credits volunteer Dan White with ensuring the application was

successful by compiling all the technical information required. “He really got it done for us.” The licence is valid until Aug. 31, 2019.
