Speedboat operator acquitted

Court: Judge said driver’s actions negligent, but not criminally liable. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A man who drove a speedboat into Copper Island, a crash which later resulted in the death of a passenger, has been found not guilty of two criminal charges. In a decision rendered Sept. 5 in BC Supreme Court in Kamloops, Justice Robert Powers found Todd Gordon Kerr, 39 at the time of the collision, not guilty of one count of dangerous operation of a vessel causing death and two counts of dangerous operation of a vessel causing bodily harm. The crash occurred the night of Aug. 1, 2008. Pattie Lynn McKenna, 24, one of three women and two men onboard the 30-foot Baja Outlaw inboard speed boat, died of injuI ﬁnd that I am left ries suffered in the colliwith a reasonable sion. doubt... The judge ruled that while Kerr was negligent in his operation of the boat, the evidence Justice Robert did not prove beyond a Powers reasonable doubt that he was criminally liable. COURT RULING He stated that if this was a provincial offence similar to careless driving, he would have been guilty of such an offence. Although Kerr was negligent by driving too fast in low visibility when he was not aware of the surroundings, the judge said the question he must answer under the law is “whether the dangerous manner of driving was the result of a marked departure from the standard of care which a reasonable person would have exercised in the same circumstances.” Justice Powers concluded that while the case is “certainly close to the line..., given Mr. Kerr’s evidence which was not seriously challenged about the thought process he entered into, and the evidence of Ms. Jankowski about his generally conscientious operation of the vessel, I find that I am left with a reasonable doubt...”

Taking a spin: Ashley Doyle and Jennifer Letendre enjoy swirling around and around on the Sizzler ride on the midway at the 115th Annual Salmon Arm Fall Fair.

Fair rounds up crowds Event: Attendance figures increase by 1,000 people over last year. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Paid attendance at the 115th annual fall fair soared with the temperature. Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake Agricultural Association administrator Kelly Weightman says 8,740 people paid at the gate, up 1,000 over last year. “We are all very pleased. The two years previous were down; this is a turnaround,” said Weightman Monday morning. “I think our Elvis impersonator, the great weather and the motorcycle display were factors.” Elvis impersonator Adam Fitzpatrick drew huge crowds to the stage for each performance and will be welcome to make a return visit next year. The fair opened Friday evening with the national anthem, God Save The Queen and a number comments and presentations. On behalf of the fair, Lucy Schaff, historian and longtime member of

The Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake Agricultural Association, accepted a provincial Century Farm Award from constituency assistant Roxina Goodine who was representing Shuswap MLA George Abbott. The first Salmon Arm Fair was held in 1897 and the Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake Agricultural Association was incorporated in 1911 with one of its mandates being to hold an annual fair and cattle show. Over the years, the association has run the Salmon Arm Fair and maintained and operated the fairgrounds year-round. The association was also created to promote and encourage agricultural development in the Salmon Arm area and to provide a location where community activities could take place. Nowadays, the Salmon Arm Fair provides entertainment and attractions for people of all ages at the three-day event. The focus of the fair is still on agriculture, with competitions and displays

of livestock and fresh produce, along with traditional baking and canning, using of locally-grown foods. Local 4-H groups are there to talk about their projects to fairgoers, and homemakers and craftspeople exhibit their creations. Alf Peterson and his son Allan also received a century award, which is sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture. “In 1912, Alf’s father Ed acquired 10 acres in the North Broadview area, known then as “the Limit,” and planted a small orchard,” said Goodine, “This was the start of a family generational enterprise, well-known and well-respected…” Next up to the mic, North OkanaganShuswap MP Colin Mayes presented longtime Salmon Arm resident Cindy Derkaz with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal. “Our commitment to Canada is See Volunteers on page A2

Volunteers pull off event Continued from front strengthened when we collectively pay homage to those who distinguish themselves by virtue of their talents, their generosity and their service to our community and to our country,” he said, after explaining the meaning of the commemorative medal. “Her community activities include the Shuswap Community Foundation, Shuswap Film Society, Salmon Arm Nature Bay Enhancement Society Shuswap Art Gallery Association and the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society.” One hiccup involving a lack of event scheduling was noted and will be addressed for next year’s fair, says Weightman. “The reins went from Phil Wright to a new

chair, Star McGregor, and a few balls were dropped in the transition,” she said, noting Wright had headed up the organization for many years. “That’s the reason why the scheduling was not as detailed as it should have been and that has been identified clearly in our report.” A heavily promoted wobbly ball feature did not materialize after the operator left the site without explanation, leaving fairgoers wondering where it was, and a frustrated convenor Lori Graham, who also had 13 other concessions bail out in the weeks leading up to the fair. Looking at how most of the fair rolled out smoothly, Weightman handed out kudos to the more than 600 volunteers who made it hap-

that’s another hats off to Gil and Lori Risling, another family that contributes enormously to the fair.”

City assesses impact of spring ﬂoods By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

It was a bit dicey for a while, but Salmon Arm escape almost unscathed from spring flooding. The biggest headache was caused when water got into the city’s water utility in Canoe. “The level of the water got so high it compromised the electrical system that provides power to the pump station that feeds the water plant,” said City of Salmon Arm utilities manager Gerry Rasmussen. “We actually lost a pump and had to sandbag the area.” Rasmussen says the electrical system was supposed to be protected by waterproof boxes and the loss of one of only two pumps made city staff very nervous. During the week of June 24 to July 1, city staff put in “an intense week of round-the-clock observation” and pump-

ing, he says, noting the system had never been challenged before, but staff did an excellent job of keeping water flowing to the plant, where it is treated and turned into potable water. “We were worried if the other pump went down, because we wouldn’t have been able to pump raw water to the plant for treatment.” But as the water levels receded in July, so did concerns the second pump would be damaged. The compromised pump was sent to Kelowna for a rebuild and Rasmussen says the system is being redesigned to prevent such occurrences in the future. In other flood-related matters, public works manager John Rosenberg says the city got off easy this year. “I say that because nothing happened – but we have a flood control program, where we monitor lake and river

levels,” says Rosenberg, pointing out the watch begins mid to end of April every year, depending on snowpacks and weather. “Usually it’s about making sure rivers and culverts aren’t being

John Rosenberg PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER blocked by debris – and while we’re doing that, we do keep an eye on the lake.” Despite concerns that arose with the high water levels, Rosenberg says the final outcome was good. “The federal wharf that lifted off its pilings came back down and is stable, the new boat

launch at Canoe is fine and at Marine Park, everything we did to mitigate worked out fine,” he says. “We raised up the floats for the bathrooms and all the ramps we put into place to keep the wharf open and keep leased tenants working, all worked out well.” Aside from a lot of woody debris that littered the shore, Canoe Beach survived the flood without permanent damage. Sand from the beach used to fill sandbags to protect the water treatment plant was returned after the water receded. An attractive roof that went missing from the end of the federal wharf in Canoe may yet show up, says Rosenberg. “We may find the roof when the water gets down low enough,” he says, noting Shuswap Lake measured 345.9 metres last Friday, similar to past years. “The lake has an annual tide; it changes 16 to 17 feet

in a year.” While there will definitely be some costs from this year’s flooding, Rosenberg says the

city is working with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s emergency program to see what compensation will

Board looks at land sales School district: Trustees begin process to dispose of ‘surplus’ properties. By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

School District #83 is looking to put some forsale signs on properties no longer considered needed for educational purposes. At Tuesday’s regular school board meeting which took place after the Observer’s press deadline, trustees were to discuss a number of school-district owned properties and to direct staff to proceed with the policy to dispose of them. The properties include big-ticket items like the current school board administration offices of Shuswap Street, which would be unnecessary if the school district proceeds with plans to build new office space on the site of the former JL Jackson school and the sale of Ashton Creek school, which was closed prior to this school year due to declining enrolment. Other properties to potentially go on the block are: North Broadview School, Mt. Ida School, the North Canoe Annex, a vacant bus garage site, the South Canoe Centre, which is currently housing alternate school programs, and the new Jackson annex. But this does not mean residents will be seeing for-sale signs going up any time soon. “This is really the start of a process to consider if this is an asset that should be kept or if we should consider disposing of it,” says Stirling Olson, secretary-treasurer for School District #83. “By putting this motion forward, we can begin the public consultation process.” In order to dispose of school district property there must be a public process, as well as approval from the Ministry of Education. “People may come forward with some ideas for these properties, we may need them for another reason, but it is not until we open the process do we have the ability to consider them,” adds Olson. Fair market value is also to be considered when the school district is selling any property. Proceeds of any sale would go directly into the budget for this district. Revenue generated from leasing properties can be used towards the school district’s operational budget, while revenue from a property sale would be mandated to be used for capital funding.

1909

The provincial government road crew under Chas. Myers, began construction of a new bridge over the Salmon River near Silver Creek. After considerable discussion, council agreed to raise the salary of Constable Thompson from $45 to $60 for the next month while it was determined if the provincial government was prepared to help pay costs. In the event of refusal, council would dispense with having a law officer, regardless of what the province demanded.

1919

Salmon Arm veterans were invited to Kamloops this week to participate in a parade before the Prince of Wales. Asked to take the parade was General Hilliam of this area. A. J. McPhail with a tender of $350 won the job of district assessor for the year 1920. A meeting was scheduled to form a women’s auxiliary to the local branch of the Great War Veterans’ Association.

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Alderman Day brought a lengthy city health bylaw before council where it was approved on first reading. Among other things it called for installation of septic tanks by all property owners, and for the appointment of a medical health officer. Hon. R. L. Maitland opened the 24th Annual Salmon Arm Fall Fair which was described as a great success.

1939

The hospital board passed several resolutions this week, including one prohibiting children from visiting the hospital except under exceptional circumstances, and another asking area farmers to donate fruit and vegetables to help the hospital survive its shortage of funds. The CPR advised council it was not anxious to have the crossing at Canoe made a public one. The local branch of Technocracy Inc. sent a telegram to the prime minister opposing sending Canadians to fight the war in Europe. Signing officers were R. J. Spencer and E. A. Turner.

A “damsel in distress” was spared a night on a remote forestry road, thanks to the members of Shuswap Search and Rescue. Shortly after midnight Friday, Sept. 7, a woman called 911 to report she was not only lost, but her small car was hung up on the centre of the deeply rutted road. The woman was heading to Tilley’s Landing where she was supposed to meet her boyfriend, who was on a houseboat, said SAR search manager John Schut. “She took a forest service road behind White Lake looking for Tilley’s Landing in the dark,” said Schut. “She took a wrong turn and got her car high centred and was quite distraught being in the dark by herself.” The search, headed up by another search manager, Tara Stanley, included two two-member teams. “Tara figured out where she was pretty quick by the maps and the cell phone conversation,” said Schut. “The RCMP had been working out there trying to find her. They made it to Tilley’s Landing and the houseboat was no longer there.” Schut says SAR crews found the woman quickly and were back in their beds by about 3:30 a.m. And one of the team members put the woman up for the night “The right decisions were made,” he said. “It’s nice she was located and brought out safely.”

Ideas for packing healthy school lunches HEALTHY BITES

Serena Caner September has arrived and the school lunch-packing season begins. The question is always, what should I send for my child’s lunch? What we consider a basic healthy meal is some kind of whole grain carbohydrate (bread, pasta, rice… etc), a protein (eggs, milk, cheese, beans, seeds, poultry, fish, meat) and then a veggie or fruit (or both) and water to drink. Try incorporate different colours and textures. Remember: the best way to get your child to eat their lunch is to get them involved in the planning and preparation. Sandwiches are always easy meals, and a traditional standby, but here are some other ideas: Salad on a stick: cut-up cherry tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, (or whatever veggies they like) with cubes of feta or mozzarella cheese and put on small skewers. These are more fun to eat than regular salad and do not require cutlery. Mini pizzas: take a whole wheat pita or English muffin, top with a little tomato sauce and whatever toppings your kids like. Melt in toaster oven or oven. Yogurt-fruit-granola parfait: put yogurt, frozen berries and sprinkle some granola in layers in a little Tupperware container. Edamame: this is a popular bean that can be bought in the freezer section of the grocery store, either in its pod or shelled. They can be eaten plain or added to pasta or salad. They can also be tossed in oil and dry-roasted in the oven (375 degrees for 50 minutes) for a crunchy snack. Trail mix: Mix a

low-sugar whole grain

cereal with seeds, dried fruits and a couple pretzels. If allowed at your school, you can add nuts as well. Veggies and dip: kids love dipping. The

problem with vegetables is taking the time to cut and peel them. If you prepare a large container of cut-up veggies in the beginning of the week, you

can add a quick handful to lunches every day. Leftovers: leftovers from supper are often good lunches. The only trick is to

use a cooler or ice pack if you are sending animal protein. - Serena Caner is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap

Selfe earns high-ﬂying reputation By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

It may very well be Corbin Selfe who puts the Shuswap on the map in the world of slopestyle mountain biking. The 17-year-old Sicamous native has been riding bikes pretty much since he could talk. But it’s only been over the past few years that Selfe, in his own words, “started to get pretty good.” Seeing him in action, be it in the videos he’s posted on the website www. pinkbike.com, or riding in his personal training compound, it’s easy to see Selfe is modest about his ability with a bike. Nonbelievers need only check out Selfe’s 2011 Season Ender video. His trick at 1:29 is a lightning-quick, jaw-dropping display of skill and fearless grace. “The way I see it, I can pretty much do anything – I just need the right spot and place to do it,” says Selfe matter-of-factly. “As far as tricks go, I’m pretty good at learning different stuff. I usually catch on quick. I just like to be really confident that I’ll be able to do it. Whatever the trick is, I know how it feels and I’ll know what to do if I crash or whatever.” Selfe considers himself to be a semi-professional in the discipline of slopestyle mountain biking – a sport that involves a mix of tall jumps, big air and deft stunt work that is seemingly limited only by the rider’s imagination. Selfe has attracted sponsors

Chromag Bikes of Whistler and Skyride Cycle of Vernon, and is beginning to make his mark in professional competition, including a recent showing in Vail, Colorado at the 2012 Teva Mountain Games. “That was at a pretty professional level; it’s pretty high class,” says Selfe, who, out of 53 riders, came in 17th place out of the 18 who qualified for finals. One of the youngest finalists, Selfe says he ended up 17th overall due to a crash in his final run. The win for Selfe came in the education gained and

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

’Backs struggle at opener The Troy Mick era with the Salmon Arm SilverBacks officially began at the BCHL Showcase last weekend but after losses to the West Kelowna Warriors (6-0) and the Nanaimo Clippers (2-1), there appear to be questions about the team’s offence. Rookie Josh Bowes was the lone Gorilla to find the back of the net. The Sturgeon County, Alta. product beat Clippers netminder Jayson Argue with a shot low to the glove side after coming down the right side in Sunday’s 11 a.m. game. An unassisted goal, Bowes is the only player with a point so far on the season. “I think the biggest thing after the weekend is our compete level needs to be there every night,” said SilverBacks captain Bennett Hambrook. “There was a big turnover from last year, lots of guys are new to Salmon Arm; scoring is going to have to be done by committee, that’s clear to all the guys.”

Something else that will boost the ’Backs production is the development of the power play. Shane Hanna and Sean Flanagan are returning defencemen with offensive flair but team went a combined 0-9 on the weekend. “We’ve had a few days of practice working on (the power play) and we’re still trying to build chemistry,” said Hambrook. “There’s tons of skill on those two (power play) units. “Nanaimo and West Kelowna pushed really hard on their penalty kill (but) when we get those chances on the power play, we’ve got to make them count.” Alex Gillies was not in action at the Showcase as he recovers from an injury sustained in the preseason. His return to the lineup will help scoring matters as well. “He’s definitely going to be a big part of our offence,” noted Hambrook. “He’s got tons of character and brings a lot to

the dressing room and on the ice. We’re expecting him to have a big year.” It was unfortunate Gillies was not able to play in the showcase because about 200 college and professional scouts

Troy Mick SILVERBACKS COACH were in attendance at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre, so there was plenty of exposure for players. “I was incredibly surprised by the amount of scouts there; I didn’t expect it to be that big,” said Hambrook. “It’s something that’s great to be a part of, especially in my last year here.” “It was sort of like

a trip back to bantam or midget hockey, like a tournament experience,” said Hambrook of the early daytime starts. “But after getting a run in and taping your sticks, it feels like a 7 (a.m.) start; we’ve played lots of hockey games by now so we were ready to go. The nice thing for the SilverBacks and their new players is they won’t have any trouble getting motivated for the coming weekend which features a homeand-home set with the Vernon Vipers. The rivalry has been impressed upon the new players. “We spread the word around the dressing room pretty quick,” said Hambrook. “There’s a buzz in town; we’ll be ready to go this weekend.” Salmon Arm’s home opener is a 7 p.m. puck drop on Friday at Shaw Centre against the Vipers.

Golds falter at home The host Salmon Arm Golds battled to the losing end of the 13-7 score against the Valleyview Vikings Saturday night at the Little Mountain Sports Fields. Va l l e y v i e w scored on its first two drives to open up a 13-0 lead before Valleyview’s two quarterbacks went down to injury. Drawing from their bench, the team was still able to preserve the lead. Salmon Arm was held scoreless until midway through the fourth quarter, when Eric Borthistle plunged in from a yard out. The Golds had two possessions in the waning moments but were intercepted on both occasions, ending any hope of a turnaround.

A taste of the season to come

SALMON ARM SILVERBACKS KEY RETURNEES: D Sean Flanagan (823-31), D Shane Hanna (3-21-24), D Bennett Hambrook (2-3-5), F Jeff Kennedy (11-1425), F Travis Stephens (15-19-34). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: Before he even stepped on BCHL ice, forward Ryan Schwalbe had in his back pocket that which most of his peers are still striving for – an NCAA Division I scholarship. The Anchorage, Alaska product spent the last three years at renowned prep program Shattuck St. Mary’s in Minnesota and will attend college in the Land of 10,000 Lakes at Mankato. Hometown boy Bryden Marsh and his 6’2” frame should get a good look up front after a pair of productive seasons with Golden of the KIJHL. Originating in the Sioux and another Shattuck product, Carter Lukenda joins the fold

and adds a playmaker’s eyes to the lineup. STRENGTHS: Usually turning a lineup over almost completely means a year of growing pains but for the SilverBacks, it represents a breath of fresh air. Head coach Troy Mick takes the reins, returning to the BCHL after six years away, and brings in a new No. 1 goalie in Colin Dzijacky, who posted a 0.65 goals-against average in two 2012 RBC Cup appearances with host Humboldt. On the blueline, four returners bring stability in Hanna, Hambrook, Flanagan and Brendan Kennedy.

PENTICTON VEES

KEY RETURNEES: F Wade Murphy (36-5591), F Cody DePourcq (6-12-18), D Troy Stecher (5-37-42), G Chad Katunar (13-2-0, 2.87 GAA, .887 SV%), F Sam Mellor (4-5-9) Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves in National Collegiate Athletics Association (acquired through trade with Trail). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: This year’s 16-year-old will be Kamloops minor hockey product Ryan Gropp. This sixth overall pick by the Seattle Thunderbirds in the 2011 Western Hockey League draft starred with the Okanagan Hockey Academy Midget prep

team, scoring 21 goals for 51 points in 41 games. He appeared in two games as a call-up with the Vees, scoring once. Louie Nanne, grandson of former Minnesota North Stars’ general manager Louis Nanne, played with the Minnesota’s Edina Hornets high school team, the same school that produced former Vee Steven Fogarty. Nanne, a seventh-round pick of the Minnesota Wild in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, had 12 goals and 20 points in 24 games. He also played for Team Southwest and tallied seven goals and 20 points in as many games. Dexter Dancs is a familiar name for Vees fans. With his ticket booked to the University of Michigan, Dancs played 15 games for the Vees as an affiliate collecting one helper. The North Vancouver product had a strong season with the KIJHL’s Osoyoos Coyotes, scoring 29 times and adding 38 helpers in 42 games. STRENGTHS: Goaltending is expected to be a strength again. Katunar earned invaluable experience during the playoffs when Michael Garteig was injured, and helped push the Vees to the 2012 Doyle Cup against the Brooks Bandits. He is confident and eager to lead the Vees in defending their RBC Cup championship. Vees’ head coach/

GM Fred Harbinson believes his defensive core will be strong and deep and feels he has four solid lines.

VERNON VIPERS

KEY RETURNEES: F Adam Tambellini (2729-56), F Aaron Hadley (17-23-40), D Brett Corkey (2-32-34), Ryan Renz (1-19-20). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: F Craig Martin finished third in KIJHL scoring as a 16-year-old with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, recording 48-48-96 in 50 games; D Michael Statchuk was the Prince Albert Mintos’ captain and top scoring d-man, posting 13-26-29 in 44 games. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Wadena, Sask. native was also named Top Defenceman at the Macs Midget AAA Tournament in Calgary. F Mitchell McAllister was captain of the Strathmore, Alta. UFA Bisons, racking up 14-25-39, along with 100 penalty minutes, in 34 games. He will bring energy to the Viper lineup. STRENGTHS: With a balanced crop of returning d-men – including Corkey, Renz, Marc Hetnik and Geoff Crisfield – augmented by several promising recruits, the Vipers boast one of the league’s most formidable bluelines. Up front, Tambellini,

Teams beginning to size each other up Continued from A17

West Kelowna Warriors KEY RETURNEES: F Max French (25-1439), F Shawn Hochhausen (11-20-31), F Marcus Basara (16-2541), F David Pope (817-25), D Josh Monk (7-14-21). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: Warriors’ head coach Rylan Ferster had a solid year of recruiting, bringing in players from Western Canada, and starts the year with just six rookies. On defence, Penticton native Adam Plant joins the Warriors from the Okanagan Hockey Academy and is already committed to Harvard University. Jetlan Houcher and Ambrose Firkus were top players in Saskatchewan while Matt Anholt joins the Warriors from Lloydminster and Lake Country’s Brent Lashuk arrives from the Kelowna Chiefs of the KIJHL. STRENGTHS: With a dozen returning players and four newcomers with junior A experience, the Warriors will ice a veteran squad this year, including in net where newcomer Tyler Briggs was acquired in a trade deadline deal

with Lloydminster of the AJHL. Briggs led Canada West to a World Junior A Challenge gold medal and had four shutouts with the Bobcats. With support from Garrett Rockafellow, the Warriors will have a solid tandem in net, something they lacked in Ferster’s first year with the Warriors.

Merritt Centennials KEY RETURNEES: F Regan Soquila (16-54-70), F Brandon Bruce (16-15-31), F Silvan Harper (11-17-28), F Brent Fletcher (9-1221), D Richard Sabourin (4-19-23), D Dylan Chanter (2-11-13), G Tyler Steel (15-11-1, 2.60 GAA, 91.6 SV%) ROOKIE SENSATIONS: 6’5” Kevin Lohan from Coal Spring Harbor, NY looks to be the big, stay-at-home defenceman every team covets. Last year, the 18-year-old Lohan played for the New York Apple Core in the East Coast Junior League. He’ll be joined on the Cents’ blueline by two other sizeable Junior B prospects – 6’4” Ryan Lisowsky (Mission Icebreakers) and 6’2” John Saunders (North Okanagan Knights). Up front,

SilverBacks Hockey

a deep complement of returning forwards just got deeper with the addition of 17-year-old Diego Cuglietta (13-2538, Kamloops Storm) and 16-year-old Jeff Wight (14-23-37, N.E. Chiefs). STRENGTHS: Head coach Luke Pierce’s squad surprised quite a few pundits and prognosticators last year with a second-place finish in the tough Interior Division. The Centennials were the only team in the BCHL to beat the juggernaut Vees at the SOEC in the regular season. Half of that impressive Cents’ team is back, led by last season’s leading scorer Soquila, outstanding netminder Steel, newlynamed captain Fletcher, and heart-and-soul dman Sabourin. The off-season acquisition of points-producer Derek Huisman (30-3565) from the Chilliwack Chiefs and vastly underrated Sebastien Pare (68-14) from the Langley Rivermen gives Merritt the kind of depth in the forward ranks that could be the envy of the league. Pierce has made it no secret that he wants this, the 40th anniversary of the longest continuously-run BCHL franchise, to be

the year for his team.

TRAIL SMOKE EATERS KEY RETURNEES: G Lyndon Stanwood (4.06 GAA, .886 SV%), F Garret McMullen (1719-36), F Tanner Clarkson (15-11-26), F Brent Baltus (14-16-30), D Brandon Egli (2-9-11), F Adam Wheeldon (37-10). ROOKIE SENSATIONS: 17-year-old Trail product Scott Davidson was injured most of last season and saw little ice time with KIJHL Beaver Valley Nitehawks. But if preseason is any indicator, the skilled forward will be one to watch in the coming year. The Major Midget Kootenay Ice’s 16-yearold forward Mitchell Foyle and 17-year-old Trail native Jake Lucchini are also impressive additions, while goalie Braeden Krogfoss, 17, of Cloverdale was an MVP goalie with the Vancouver Giants in the B.C. Major Midget League last season. His size and mobility should prove a dependable counterpart to the Smokies’ starter Stanwood. STRENGTHS: The Smoke Eaters will be

solid in goal. The lightning-quick Stanwood and six-foot rookie Krogfoss provide stability in the crease, shoring up a veteran defence.

Talented returnees like McMullen, Clarkson and Baltus, along with recent acquisition Alex Holland from the Victoria Grizzlies should

give the Smokies some scoring touch up front, and former Alberni Bulldog’s Tyler Berkholtz will add size and toughness.

THE SALMON ARM

SILVERBACKS SPOTLIGHT It’s been just over a year for Jeff Kennedy since he made the SilverBacks out of Main Camp and a lot has happened since then. After winning over the fans as a rookie and a summer that wowed Hockey Operations staff; Jeff and his twin brother Brendan are ready for another season, this time with more responsibility attached. Jeff says that being named an Assistant Captain, along with his brother; is quite the honour, “It means a lot to be able to represent the change in the organization. We’re excited to be part of the leadership group that gets to turn the franchise around.” He realizes that wearing an “A” on his jersey is not just about leading on the ice, “It’s about being a positive example and role model in the community; especially when we’re out in the community representing this team.” While the brothers graduated High School last spring, Jeff says the ride isn’t over, “We’re both taking Sociology at Okanagan College and plan on writing the SAT’s as many times as possible. It’s important to keep the brain fresh and stay in learning mode.” Jeff hopes that those on the fence about the team will come see the product, “The organization has a whole new look, we’re going to be active in the community, we’re going to give back and of course we’re going to bring an exciting brand of hockey. We will play with an edge, with speed and it will be very entertaining!” Thank you for keeping up to date on your SilverBacks throughout the summer and don’t forget the Home Opener is this Friday September 14th at 7pm as the ‘Backs host the Vipers at the Shaw Centre!

Acoustic slide guitarist set to ignite gallery By James Murray OBSERVER STAFF

V Van Zantenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abiding love of the natural wor world and her deep des desire to protect it can cert certainly be heard in her song lyrics, which she says these days are often inspired by the environment, politic itics and/or the events wh which sometimes ari arise from northern pe peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns ab about the area where the they live. When not hiking ing, running or ridin ing horseback, she sp spends the rest of he her non-musical tim time fighting fores est fires or working w with tree-planting co companies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; staying aas close to nature as ppossible. As one of the front w women for Painting D Daisies, van Zanten hhas toured widely. V Van Zanten and her bband won Entertaine tainers of the Year for the 2001 Prairie Music Awards. In 2003, she penned Walking Home Lately, the song which would win her top prize in CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Great Canadian Music Dream competition. More recently, inspired by images of Tahltan women blockading Shell Oil in defence of the sacred headwaters in northern British Columbia, van Zanten wrote My Country. She performed the song at the Iskut Music Festival a year later, where she filmed one of a number of videos

Great Guitar: Rachelle van Zanten performs at SAGA Public Art Gallery Friday, Sept. 21.

ailing from the northern British Columbia community of Burns Lake, singer-songwriter and acoustic slide guitarist extraordinaire, Rachelle van Zanten is returning to Salmon Arm with her special blend of blues, folk and seriously guitar-shredding slide guitar on Friday, Sept. 21, 7 p.m. at the SAGA Public Art Gallery. A lot of fans will re-

member van Zantenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blistering slide guitar as well as her throaty voice from her performances on stage at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival a couple of years back â&#x20AC;Ś theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been eagerly awaiting her return engagement ever since. Van Zantenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical history is as varied as her music itself. Growing up in northern BC, she sang in her church choir, took

piano lessons, played drums and trumpet in the school band and played guitar with her family in gospel, bluegrass and old-time country jams. At the age of 18, van Zanten heard the slide guitar stylings of Lester Quitzau while attending a local festival, and from that day on, has made slide guitar a focus of both her songwriting and performances on stage.

She has performed with Feist, Blue Rodeo and Clarence Gatemouth Brown, among others, and consistently toured, both with her band and as an acoustic solo artist throughout Canada, the UK, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, India and Nepal.

Showcase: Well-known singer-songwriter John Clinch will perform at the season opener of the fall Songwriters Showcase Series at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28.

Shining spotlight on local talent The fall series of the popular Songwriters Showcase organized by Kelly and Blu Hopkins opens Friday, Sept. 28 at SAGA Public Art Gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We intend them to be interesting, entertaining and inspiring,â&#x20AC;? says Kelly, noting showcase participants write their own material and often talk about where, when and why they wrote their songs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The intent is to showcase the amazing depth of talent in the Shuswap.â&#x20AC;? First up is John Clinch. Originally from England where he performed in rock and country bands, Clinch emigrated to Chase in 1993. In his rock and roll days, Clinch was signed to the Moody Bluesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recording company and recorded at Sir George Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Air Studios in England with his country/rock band. He soon moved on to playing country music full time, performing with the legendary Albert Lee. He gave up music for a time in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s, working various jobs until emigrating to B.C. Five years later, he was bitten by the bluegrass bug and with Doug and Deb Noel formed Blue Moon. During this time, he met the late Gord Milne and, together with Joany Robertson and Chris Stevens, formed the band Four Wheel Drift. This hard-driving blue-

grass band featured Clinchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s songwriting and tenor singing, Milneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vocals and blazing guitar and mandolin licks, Stevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vocals and killer banjo playing and, backed by Robertsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solid bass, wowed audiences throughout the region. Recently, John can be found at home in Chase, or in Nashville writing and playing his songs. Joining Clinch in the showcase is Carolyn Anele, a former Salmon Arm musician who preferred creating her own melodies on the old family piano to the tedious practising of scales and traditional compositions. In 2000, Anele began her career as a solo artist, promoting her original material. Her 2002 debut album, The Harbour, features seven original songs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a mixture of folk, contemporary, spiritual and instrumental music. The CD won a 2003 KADAC (Kelowna And District Arts Council) Award of Honour for a CD released in the Okanagan. Anele has since released a four-song self-titled EP, Carolyn Anele, as well as a single release called Where Birds Sing. Anele performs for charities, benefits, festivals and showcases. Her musical vision is to write songs that will inspire uplift and heal. Tickets are $10 at Acorn Music. Gourmet snacks will be served by donation.

Crop of 2012: This year’s Shuswap Idol winners crowd the Salmon Arm Fall Fair stage at the end of the three entertaining days of competition.

Fair salutes winners

www.saobserver.net

Salmon Arm Fall Fair’s popular Shuswap Idol attracted large audiences this year – about 200 per show, says organizer Lori Risling. “The 24 contestants gave it their all over the weekend,” says Risling. Results include: • 18 and under: First place – Kyra Bayers, second place – Reid Gomme, third place – Daimery Mast and honourable mentions – Arianna Vrieling and Brianna Peters. • 19 and over: First place – Melissa Wood, second place – Jesse Johnson and third place – Brandon Robbins. “The incredible talent we have in the Shuswap was even more evident this year with the addition of the singer/songwriter category,” said Risling. “These contestants performed their own original tunes and the quality was exceptional.”

Singer/songwriter: first place – Jesse Mast, second place – Megan Lauridsen, four third-place finishers – Ami Owens, Rosa Saba, Arlene Smith and Josh St. John. There were two honourable mentions in the singer/songwriter category: Sam Kelder and Ross Chagun. The winner of the Askew’s People’s Choice Award was Jesse Mast. In the photo contest, Megan Rolin with her photo “Dog at Enderby River – Shilo,” won the People’s Choice award. The people viewing and voting for their favourite photos on display at the fair had many excellent photos to choose from – 432 photos from 102 entrants. Second place in the People’s Choice category went to “Seagull’s Despair,” a black and white photo taken by Kayla Butts. Third place was Leslie’s Stuart’s “Peek A Boo” – a seal peek-

ing out of the water. In fourth was “Red Earth – Yunan,” by Martin Kyllo. Fifth and sixth place was a tie between Noreen Sadiwynk and Myrtle Kyllo, with their respective photos titled “Osprey’s Supper” and “Late Snack.” Kevin Kaiser was seventh with “My House.” The final three were also a tie – Clive Bryson’s “Northern Hawk Owl,” Colleen Thurgood’s “Proud Mama,” and Richard Kyllo’s “Before The Rain.” The photography division thanks all the volunteers who helped with the fair event and the sponsors of special and best of show prizes: Ted Belcher of Sorrento; Shuswap Photo Arts Club, Clixel, Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, Shuswap District Arts Council and Salmon Arm Observer. Look for the People’s Choice photo in this week Market News.

Seniors act out

Celebrate equinox

Playwright, composer, producer and allround theatre fun person Peter Blacklock is looking for seniors. After successfully running a seniors theatre program in the South Shuswap last spring, Blacklock is giving Salmon Arm residents the same opportunity. “It’s an exciting program – a ton of fun,” he laughs, of the Shuswap Theatre outreach program. “People were doing things they had never done before, stepping out of their comfort zones.” Blacklock spoke to

Fall Equinox, or Mabon, is celebrated as the final harvest of the season. This holiday was pivotal in ancient times, since a good final harvest was crucial to surviving the winter. Shuswap Questers Serah and Tyhson host an equinox celebration Saturday, Sept. 22 at 4:30 p.m. with drumming, pot luck, at 1-5404 Sunnybrae Canoe Point Rd. For more info, call 250-835-8236.

members of the Fifth Avenue Seniors’ Activity Centre, who embraced the proposal. So Blacklock will add Shuswap Theatre on Hudson Avenue to the slate of seniors theatre locations – the OAPO hall in Sorrento and Cedar Heights Community Hall. “This is for seniors who always thought they’d like to do it or want to develop some skills,” Blacklock says of the program that in drama, performing short skits, improv, reading, theatre storytelling and a whole lot of laughter.

“It widens social networks, makes contacts, enhances memorization and brain health as well as physical health.” Cost to attend is a $10 membership to Shuswap Theatre plus a $2 drop-in fee each visit. The first session runs from 9 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2. “Come and watch because you won’t be sitting for long,” laughs Blacklock, noting activities are decided the group. “That’s usually how it works.” For more information, call Peter Blacklock at 250-675-3004.

Let caution reign when beginning a new exercise program Be patient. Patience is essential when beginning an exercise regimen. Many people grow discouraged if their workout routine doesn’t produce jawdropping results overnight. But an effective and healthy exercise regimen will gradually produce results, leading to long-term health, as opposed to an overnight fix with minimal long-term effectiveness. When beginning the regimen, do so slowly and allow for gradual progress. As your body grows more acclimated to physical activity, you can begin to challenge yourself more and more, and that’s when the results are likely to be most noticeable. Learning to rest is also part of being patient. The body needs time to recover between workouts, so don’t expect to exercise every day at the start. Initially, you should be giving your body at least one day to recover between workouts, and then you can take less time off between workouts as your body grows more acclimated to exercise. Discuss certain dietary tips with your physician to determine if there’s anything you can eat after a workout to aid in

muscle recovery. Work with a professional. Personal training sessions can be costly, but they’re also worth it for beginners who have never worked out before or who haven’t seen the inside of a gym for a while. Technology is constantly changing, and weight training and cardiovascular machines are included in those changes. You may very well enter a gym and not recognize any of the machines, much less know how to use them. A personal trainer can walk you through these machines and help you tailor your workout to match your goals. Many gyms offer free or discounted personal training sessions to new members, so take advantage of those offers when starting out. If a personal trainer is simply beyond your budget, then solicit a friend or family member for help, ideally one who works out regularly. This person can accompany you to the gym

and act as a spotter or just go with you to make sure you stay committed. The buddy system is highly effective among people hoping to get healthier, so don’t be shy to ask for help. Focus on form. The right form can make all the difference, while poor form can greatly increase your risk of injury. When beginning an exercise regimen, particularly one that involves weightlifting, master the form of each exercise with low weights. At this point in the routine, the primary goal should not be to strengthen your muscles, but rather to master the form of each exercise. Form includes everything from how you breathe during the workout to your posture to how smoothly your body moves during the exercise. Master the form first, even if it means lifting without any weight, before you start focusing on adding more weights and strengthening your muscles. Caution should reign supreme for

men and women beginning a new exercise regimen.

Horoscope

by Bernice Rosella and James Kilner

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be getting used to the air of surprises in your life, but this time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the really fun kind that takes you aback. A flirtatious exchange might mean more than you initially thought. Activity at work leaves you feeling capable, as you demonstrate great perception and skill. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to do, but the fun is all closer to home. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asked to give a party, perhaps very spontaneously. It will open your space to some deeply moving moments. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made lighter this week, as you move towards greater self-acceptance, thanks to these occasions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This week feels decidedly comfortable. All the activity and stimulation leads you to feel fulfilled. Just make sure you throw a few productive acts in there as well. Looking at home adjustments or a move? A chance to change arrives that can only be described as awesome. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You could make an agreement now that opens you to new opportunities. With a supporting sky, you can consider it at face value. There are quick connections and chances to move forward in money and career. Present yourself as polished, yet prepared for casual fun. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Venus is now moving through your sign. Over the week, she slowly reaches out in harmony to planet of surprise, Uranus. Love will be unpredictable, with big movements forward in an instant. Singles find themselves the recipient of a wonderful flirtation. Try a different look. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll love it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): With Mercury, your ruling planet, rushing towards the Sun before you reach the New Moon in your sign, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel a strong hand of synchronicity. Lights come on in your heart, preparing you for a bold new beginning. This path is leading somewhere good.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your friendships are taking your time this week. When the chance to get together comes quickly, accept the invitation. Whether you find new love or just revive the connection you already have, your experiences help you move closer to another. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally thought to be good when we have faith. Unless you define that specifically, you might not know just what that faith is supposed to feel like. First, tap into the part of you that can work on your own behalf. Next, you get to work and make career progress happen. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Many cultures think of breaking glass as a symbol of great luck, shattering obstacles and providing a premonition of a breakthrough. However, broken glass is also dangerous. A surprise twist to an important narrative in your life can be interpreted many ways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive omen. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are financial blessings this week, all leading you towards what feels like a direct pathway to a big dream. Your view of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible for your life is shifting. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the rights mix of resources, ideas, and opportunities to take your life up a notch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving towards a financial deal that either brings a significant payment or a welcome discount. Though you may wish it was large enough to focus solely on one endeavor, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still need to diversify. Give yourself the next two weeks to see the money. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Moon is leading you towards understanding a revived self-concept would necessarily have to be reflected in changed relationships. Reflecting on partners from the past, you put a pattern to bed and prepare for love better than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known.

He was Engineering Manager for Moffat Broadcasting stations CKLG AM and CFOX FM throughout the 1960’s and 70’s at the peak of their success. He returned to his much-loved Okanagan in the late 70’s, working at CKXR radio, while he planned and built his dream home, at Eagle Bay, on Shuswap Lake.

He was re-married to his loving wife Mary in 1988, whose family warmly welcomed him, including Jack (Lisa), Helena (Rick), and Ingrid. Together, Mary and Peter have 14 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Peter was quiet and thoughtful, but was gifted with a clever sense of humour.

He was a regular volunteer to his church groups at St Martins (North Vancouver), and Eagle Bay, in support of their service clubs.

MERCER, TAFFY DALE June 13, 1954 – September 2, 2012 Words alone cannot convey the depth of our sadness at the passing of Taffy Dale Mercer (nee Lind). Taffy leaves behind her husband, Garth and daughter, Chelsea. She is also survived by her three sisters and one brother: Cynthia (Michael) O”Connell of Port Moody, British Columbia; Debbie (Gordon) Hegland of Big River, Saskatchewan; Iris (Max) Powell of St John’s, Newfoundland and Mark (Marian) Lind of White Rock, British Columbia. After a long and hard fought battle with cancer, Taffy passed away on Sunday, September 2. But this illness was not what defined her. She was magnificent at almost everything she undertook. Taffy had graduated with an RN in 1981 and was known as an exemplary nurse. She worked initially at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster and then for many years at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. She loved to travel, meet new people and embrace new experiences, with outdoor sports being high on the priority list. But her true passion over the years was nurturing and caring for her daughter, Chelsea. She was an amazing mother even as the disease took hold and drained her of her energy. She would still embrace every aspect of Chelsea’s young life and offer her guidance. A special thanks for the wonderful care and support that Taffy received from the Shuswap Community Care team, Shuswap Lake General Hospital staff and Shuswap Hospice Society. A warm thanks as well to her many friends that were unconditionally there for her throughout her illness. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial donations to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation or the Shuswap Hospice Society. Taffy was a gift to all who knew her and she was remembered at a service on Saturday, September 8th, 11:00 AM, at River of Life Community Church. Online condolences may be sent to Taffy’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
