Police ID flasher suspect By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm RCMP have now identified the suspect after an incident where an older man is alleged to have exposed himself to girls playing at the Canoe playground on Sunday. “With the description that we had, we have identified an individual and are continuing our investiga-

tion into the incident,” said Staff Sgt. Kevin Keane on Tuesday. The suspect has not been arrested or charged with a crime. He will not be identified unless formal criminal charges are filed. The suspect was described as being in his 60s with a thick white moustache and white hair. He was wearing a white Tilley hat, a white shirt and blue

jeans. The man was driving an older model, burgundy, Chevy S-10 truck, with a white canopy. Police confirm the man spoke to a number of the girls and gave them coloured markers. If anyone has additional information on the incident, contact the Salmon Arm detachment at 250832-6044.

Mayor pleased with ruling Continued from front the Salmon River delta, an important ecosystem and traditional use area for First Nations and also an important area for wildlife, plants and fish.” Mayor Nancy Cooper said city council will be reviewing the decision with the city’s lawyers, but “it is positive for Salmon Arm and, indeed, for all local governments.” She explained by saying that if the appeal had been upheld, it would have far-reaching ramifications. “If it was the other way around, it would call into question any decision that any municipality or local government made.” Nonetheless, Cooper said she is thinking about the Neskonlith band and hopes to be in touch with Chief Wilson later this week. “I will be contacting the Neskonlith band through their chief, Judy Wilson, just to see how we can move forward together.” Named in the appeal were respondents, the City of Salmon Arm and Salmon Arm Shopping Centres Inc., while the Union of BC Municipalities was granted intervenor status. The status was granted because the decision could potentially have had far-reaching effects for municipalities. Justice Newbury addressed three questions

in reaching her decision: 1) Was the City of Salmon Arm subject to the Crown’s duty to consult and, where appropriate, accommodate with respect to issuing the development permit? 2) Might the issuance of the permit adversely affect the assumed aboriginal rights or title claims of the Neskonlith and 3) If the city was subject to a duty to consult, was that consultation adequate in this case? She referred throughout her decision to a 2004 case involving the Haida Nation versus the BC Minister of Forests, as well as a 2010 case featuring Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. versus the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council. Among other things stated in the 38-page document, she wrote, with regard to the first question, that municipal governments lack the practical resources to consult and accommodate First Nations. “It is precisely because the Crown asserted sovereignty over lands previously occupied by aboriginal peoples that the Crown in right of the province is now held to the duty to consult.” She also wrote that it would be “completely impractical” for municipal governments to do so. “Daily life would be seriously bogged down if consultation... became necessary whenever a right or interest

of a First Nation ‘might be’ affected.” As to whether issuance of the permit might adversely affect the Neskonlith, she writes that the effect is “uncertain, indirect, and at the far end of the spectrum of adverse effects” mentioned in the Haida case. She states that the Neskonlith’s expert on flooding makes a number of important assumptions: “That the development would experience flood conditions (which Shopping

Mayor Nancy Cooper SALMON ARM

Centres says is doubtful given that it will be building only on the portion of the property that has been occupied in the past); that the flooding would be of such a level and of such duration that there would be an ‘imperative demand’ for flood protection; that the public authorities would respond to such demand; and that they would do so either by modifying the river channel or constructing a dike along the river and below the Highway #1 bridge. It is far from

certain that all of these would come to pass.” Regarding adequacy of consultation, Justice Newbury writes: “I conclude that the process in this case was reasonable; that the Neskonlith were fully and promptly informed of all the applications and amendments relevant to the permit and to the development generally; that they were given several opportunities to express their concerns; that their objections (and those of others) were taken seriously and did lead to material modifications of the planned development; and that the city’s decision itself lay within the range of reasonable outcomes.”

Salmon Arm man dies in vehicle rollover By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

A 36-year-old Salmon Arm man died Friday night in a single vehicle crash near the intersection of 30th Street NE and 20th Av-

enue NE, close to the turnoff to the Salmon Arm Airport. Michael Cleveland of Salmon Arm was ejected from his pickup truck during the crash and died in hospital shortly thereafter.

At 11:45 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21 officers from the Salmon Arm RCMP detachment responded to a call about a single vehicle collision. Witnesses described hearing loud screech-

ing of tires just prior to the sound of a crash. A pick-up truck had left the road and was in the ditch. The driver, and sole occupant of the vehicle, was found laying nearby. “BC Ambulance at-

tended to the scene and transported the driver to hospital. Unfortunately, the driver succumbed to injuries sustained in the collision and died at hospital,�

Downtown robbery nets medals Salmon Arm RCMP are on the lookout for anyone sporting a wrestling medal after a few were stolen when a downtown home was ransacked on Sept. 13. On that day, police responded to a suspicious occurrence after it was reported that an unoccupied residence appeared unsecured in the downtown residential area of Salmon Arm. When RCMP officers arrived, they confirmed a break and enter had occurred. It was learned that neighbours heard a loud smash late in the evening and noticed three young males wearing sweaters standing by the property earlier in the evening. Suspects had kicked a panel out of the front door, creating a loud

smash before providing access into the residence. The entire residence was ransacked and several items both of financial and testamentary value were stolen. Some of the items stolen included Greco Roman Wrestling medals from Europe dated in the 1940s. Revelstoke Forensic Identification Section attended the scene and were successful in acquiring evidence. Salmon Arm RCMP is requesting anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of these medals, or any further information regarding the involved suspects, to contact the Salmon Arm RCMP Detachment at 250-832-6044, or Crime Stoppers

Father renews fight for pre-paid gas By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Doug de Patie is beyond frustrated that it seems to take death before legislators take action on pay-beforeyou-pump legislation to protect workers from gas-and-dash criminals. De Patie has been a vocal lobbyist for the policy change since his son Grant, a gas station attendant, was dragged more than seven kilometres under a stolen car during a gas-anddash robbery for $12 worth of fuel in Maple Ridge on March 8, 2005. Due in large part to de Patie’s efforts, the B.C. government instituted a pay-first policy for gas stations in 2008, widely known as Grant’s Law. But de Patie has been frustrated in his attempts to get similar legislation passed across the country. Now another death in Toronto has de Patie, who now lives in Blind Bay, renewing his calls for laws to protect gas station workers. Jayesh Prajapati, 44, died Sept. 16 after he was hit by an SUV at the Shell station where he

worked. The driver was fleeing without paying for $112 worth of gas. “It’s taken two deaths, two deaths that could have been prevented to get us to this point,” says de Patie, who admits to feeling bitterness and even a sense of guilt over Prajapati’s death. “I’ve talked to Ontario before, I’ve had discussions with ministers of labour, but I wonder if I didn’t try hard enough. Now that there has been a death in that province, we’re seeing some action.” Mike Colle, a Liberal member of the Ontario legislature, is formulating a private member’s bill that would require drivers to pay up front for their gas. “Pay-before-youpump works,” says de Patie. “Since the legislation, the crime of gas-and-dash has been reduced to zero, as long as the station is in compliance.” There have been arguments made against the pay-before-youpump law, including the potential cost to gas station owners to convert gas pumps to accommodate a pay-first

The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the Province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

After the ordeal:

Kittens left to die on road The Shuswap Branch of the BC SPCA and a kind-hearted animal lover are caring for a pair of kittens who were found abandoned inside a bag near Chase. A passerby found the bag on a road at Star Lake and, to her horror, discovered two kittens who were barely alive inside along with four deceased kittens

who had been crushed, likely by the wheels of a vehicle. Another deceased kitten was found near the bag. “The Good Samaritan kept one of the kittens and brought the other one to us,” says Barb Gosselin of the Shuswap SPCA. “She is a long-haired tabby, about three to four weeks old. She was

extremely hungry and in rough shape when she came in, but we warmed her up and bottle fed her and she responded well.” Gosselin says the kitten is now being nursed by a shelter cat who had just finished nursing her own litter. “We are very hopeful that the little kitten, now named Rose, will make

Good step for community Nancy Turner bubbles with enthusiasm as she speaks of the wapato, or Indian potato as it’s also called, that has been successfully reintroduced in the Salmon River delta, a root vegetable that was once a staple of the Neskonlith people living in the area. Late Neskonlith elder Mary Thomas remembered her granny wading into the water and pulling up the tubers. Turner exudes the same excitement when she speaks of the large high-bush cranberry that was discovered thriving in the delta, a bush that Mary Thomas picked berries from as a girl, and her mother and grandmother would have picked from too. Turner was speaking this weekend at a workshop, Meeting our Aboriginal Neighbours Again for the First Time, sponsored by First United Church and Switzmalph Cultural Society. Turner is an internationally-esteemed ethnobotanist who spent years with Thomas, learning about plants in the Salmon River delta. Following the blessing given by Splatsin elder Ethel Thomas, which concluded with the traditional phrase, “All my relations,” Turner spoke about never taking other species for granted, because we’re all related and interdependent. Bonnie Thomas and Dorothy Argent of the Switzmalph Society spoke about the restoration of the Salmon River watershed. Argent said Mary Thomas came to city council in 1991, more than 20 years ago, concerned about the degradation of the delta and the disappearance of plants. From this, the Salmon River Watershed Roundtable was born. Now, 65 per cent of the watershed has been restored. Argent spoke of Mary’s wisdom, noting she often said: “People only look after what they know about.” And so the workshop went, providing many speakers with information about initiatives and partnerships ongoing for the delta, and providing cultural information so people got to ‘know about’ each other. A sense of kindness and community prevailed. In keeping with tradition, Bonnie Thomas presented thoughtful gifts to Nancy Turner, Neskonlith Chief Judy Wilson and Mayor Nancy Cooper. To Wilson and Cooper she beaded eagle feathers, one for home and one for work. She recognized the hard work leaders do and said people keep the feathers to give them strength. As well, eagles have excellent vision and leaders are expected to provide long-term vision. Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper said, in her opening remarks: “City hall is just across the street, but in some ways, it’s a long way away.” To underline that statement, just two days later, a ruling was delivered on the lawsuit involving the city, SmartCentres and the Neskonlith band – emphasizing the distance between city hall and the band. In my mind, a lawsuit is a failure in human relations, evidence of the ‘not knowing’ that Mary Thomas spoke about countering. With the success of the weekend’s workshop, which close to 150 people attended, another step has been taken to ensure that in the future the community – with all its diverse members – will be more likely to act in consideration of “all its relations.”

Editorial

Grant’s Law needed coast to coast Change isn’t easy for most of us. Sometimes we require a little prodding to do things in a different way. This was the case when the B.C. government instituted Grant’s Law, which included a requirement for gas stations to require their patrons to pay before pumping their gas. The law was named to remember Grant de Patie, a Maple Ridge gas station attendant, who was dragged more than seven kilometres under a stolen car during a 2005 gas-and-dash robbery for $12 worth of fuel. Initially, some gas station owners were resistant, citing increased costs to convert gas pumps to new technology. Another concern was customer complaint. Some said requiring drivers to pay before pumping gas was an unnecessary inconvenience, requiring additional time for consumers.

After the law was passed, however, a different picture emerged. The crime of gas-and-dash has been virtually eliminated, thereby saving gas companies previously lost revenue. There are also savings realized to all taxpayers as police are no longer being called out to investigate this type of crime and the justice system is no longer dealing with these types of thefts on a regular basis. By and large, B.C. residents accepted the new system with minimal fuss. With the advent of a similar death in Ontario, Grant de Patie’s father Doug is now renewing his fight to bring in similar legislation across the country. B.C.’s experience shows a simple change such as pay-before-youpump can have far-reaching implications, including where it counts most — helping to protect lives.

Bullying rampant in Canadian society Experts debunk cell tower claims In response to Pat White’s letter of Sept. 12, please allow me to offer a quote directly from the World Health Organization (WHO) website on the subject of health effects of exposure to low-power electromagnetic fields such as those used by cell phone towers: “In the area of biological effects and medical applications of non-ionizing radiation, approximately 25,000 articles have been published over the past 30 years. Despite the feeling of some people that more research needs to be done, scientific knowledge in this area is now more extensive than for most chemicals. Based on a recent in-depth review of the scientific literature, the WHO concluded that current evidence does not confirm the existence of any health consequences from exposure to low-level electromagnetic fields.” The radio frequency signals from cell towers are similar to those in use for many decades in televisions, radios and other household devices. Health Canada and B.C.’s provincial health officer also affirm that the lowpower signals from cell phone towers and wireless meters pose no known health risks. We understand how important wireless service is to the local economy, public safety and preserving property values, so we are working hard to ensure wireless service coverage and capacity are there when needed.

While in the hospital waiting on a specialist, I noticed a plaque on the wall, Bully Free Zone. A couple of months ago Premier Dalton McGinty of Ontario declared, “zero tolerance for bullies.” The news this morning announced the NHL lockout is continuing. I don’t know whether to rejoice or cry. The owners want a bigger slice of the pie. Since they believe in the golden rule – those who have the gold, make the rules; they feel perfectly justified in making whatever demands they wish. On the other side are the poor hockey players. All they want is to have what they consider

a fair share of all proceeds made at their expense. What about loyal fans? Can you believe after the last lockout, they returned in even greater numbers than before, and paid a higher premium for tickets to watch what? More bullying? Yes! The club owners hire enforcers. To do what? Take out those skilled players, who can score goals. Concussion, such as was meted out to Sidney Crosby, is his problem, but it is also ours. Why should we continue to accept bullying in sport? Well, some consider hockey, sport. Humans are a strange animal.

It seems that much of our global village is caught up in bullying. From global nationals, to manufacturers to the local business person. Each tends to squeeze the one below. We know everyone needs a job. But at what price? Manufacturers will come to our community, if we give them a big enough tax break, and other concessions, like a compliant workforce, that will work for something less than a living wage. If this isn’t bullying, then what is? Is bullying endemic in our society? What are we going to do about it? Dan MacQuarrie

Liberals strangely absent from fair opportunity Going to a fair meant that politics was one of the last things on my mind. That was prior to talking to Tom Birch from the BC Conservatives, Steve Gunner from the BC NDP and people at the anti-smart meters bench. Seeing all this and… nothing from the BC Liberals. Nothing, no presence, absolutely nothing. To my mind this is a fairly strange bell-weather event but there it is. Having a talk with all these people I was convinced that the Liberals are a dying breed.

This has more or less been confirmed in Ontario as well with two byelection losses. The Liberal brand is in full retreat mode and the next election in B.C. promises more of the same. Replacing the better (retiring) MLAs with either unproven MLAs or ones that have zero credibility was a desperate act. I have heard such “luminaries” as Vaughn Palmer (No one listens to Vaughn Palmer do they?) or Sean “conflict of interest” Leslie (CKNW) and I’m left with the conclusion

that none of these men knows truly what the average British Columbian is thinking. Some will call this beyond belief and will point to it being so informal. In my mind that is what makes it so valuable (and so telling). From my perspective, the Liberals are going to be lucky to outpace the Green Party or the Marijuana Party, never mind the NDP or the Conservatives. K. Blake Newton

Kudos to organizers of Bike for Your Life event Biking 100 kilometres made for a perfect day! Thank you organizers of the Bike for Your Life Century Ride. On a brilliant sunny day an amazing group of people joined together to ride a beautiful challenging route. Even the hill was good.

Après ride, standing in the cool shade eating corn on the cob, burgers and fresh fruit, chitchatting with fellow riders, hmm all good. Generous door prizes too. Great job, great day! Thanks to two fellow riders, Big John who fixed my flat (very much faster than I

could have) and Pat for her bike pump. Good karma to two people who defined the congenial spirit of the event. Shirley and Stan Gray Summerland

Whole bunch of things infecting B.C. legislature Oh my God, Premier Clark might be right after all. Maybe there is a virulent virus infecting the halls and closets and backrooms of the B.C. Legislature. First the NDP party members started backbiting each other, then the BC Liberals started and now the BC Conservatives are doing the same thing. The ‘political sickness’ has got so bad John ‘Ping-pong’ van Dongen, the only BC Conservative MLA, has abandoned his

party leader, John Cummings, just like he recently abandoned Christy Clark. Apparently the symptoms of this Victorian strain of the ‘sickness’ are the same as those for rabies: partial paralysis (of the brain), anxiety (about answering questions), insomnia (worrying the truth will come out), confusion (about who you can trust), agitation (with the media), abnormal behaviour (spending taxpayers’ money foolishly), paranoia (con-

stantly looking over your shoulder for rivals), hallucinations (believing the voters love and respect you) and progressive delirium (thinking you can be premier forever). I’m willing to defer to Christy Clark’s expertise on this matter because she’s been suffering from all the symptoms ever since she became the leader of the BC Liberal party. Lloyd Atkins

Alderman J.D. McGuire announced the provincial government had agreed to spend an extra $1,000 on roadwork in this area, the money to be used for improving the road from Salmon Arm to Gleneden.

1929

The new $25,000 steamer S.S. Whitesmith was launched at Sicamous and christened by Mrs. F.C. Whitehead. The new boat was not much larger then the C.R. Lamb which it replaced, but had a propeller drive instead of a stern wheel, and was copperclad to allow her to cope with Shuswap Ice. Master was Captain J.J. Smith. W.J. Reder won the contract and began construction of the new $29,050 provincial government building at the intersection of Hudson street and Shuswap avenue.

1939

J.D. McGuire disposed of the last section of the old family homesite, 3.5 acres on the south side of the Old Enderby road, opposite McGuire Lake. The new owner was C.O. Johnson of Kamloops, who was planning Salmon Arm’s first auto camp. Numerous children were away from local schools as chicken pox was making the rounds.

A wish to reconnect with a woman who he met ever-sobriefly has turned into a media extravaganza beyond belief for a Salmon Arm dentist. “Never in my wildest dreams did I intend nor thought that this would garner such attention,” Sandy Crocker told the Observer in an email Friday. Crocker, 34, who has a clinic in Kelowna but travels to Acorn Dental in Salmon Arm once a month to do intravenous sedation for extractions, is amazed. His quest to find the woman he spoke with for about two minutes while on holiday in Ireland last year has been picked up by media throughout Ireland and Canada. “Initially it was to be a very, very passive search,” he writes. “I was dreaming that possibly I may have a second chance encounter with this girl somewhere in Ireland. I spoke briefly with a local paper who thought it would be a nice community interest piece. However, timing is everything. When I arrived, unknown to me, there had just that day been an accident which claimed the lives of a wellknown and respected family, the economy is down, tons of negative news daily. People were ready to turn the page and read something nice. So when my story was published in a community paper, people took to its sincerity. Within 48 hours every radio station in the country and some TV shows and all the national papers had a feature. It was overwhelming...” Even Irish bookmakers are taking bets on whether Crocker will marry the woman or if

International search: Sandy Crocker is in Ireland looking for a woman he met there last year. she’s already married. Crocker told the Irish Sun newspaper that he was eating lunch with his brother in Ennistymon, County Clare on July 9, 2011 when he met the woman – in her mid to late 20s with freckles and reddishbrown hair. “We were on our way to the Cliffs of Moher that morning and we stopped in Ennistymon to grab a bite to eat,” he is quoted. “She was eating and I didn’t want to interrupt her meal so I waited until I noticed that she was leaving and I spoke to her then. I asked her for directions to the cliffs. I was leaving Ireland a day later so, at first, I didn’t see the point in pursuing things more – but after she left I decided that I had to. We paid our bill quickly and myself and my brother started looking for her.” Although they searched the town and cliffs, they could find no trace of her. Back in Canada, he continued to think of her. A few weeks ago he decided to go back.

He is quoted: “I went back to work and my life – but there was always a joke here or there from my brother about the Irish girl in Ennistymon. She never left my mind, so I decided, why not go back and try to find her? Maybe it’s a shot in the dark but if it is meant to be, if it’s fate, then I might bump into her walking down the street or in a shop somewhere. Who knows what might happen?” However, he told the Sun, he’s prepared if she’s married. “If I meet her again and it turns out she is married to a nice fella – the kind of guy who gives her a hug if she is crying before he asks her what’s wrong – then I don’t think I would have a problem with that. But who knows, maybe she hasn’t found her person – it’s a 50/50 chance. At least I can say I gave it my best shot no matter what way this turns out.” He told the Observer in his email that there have been some leads, “but as I say this is a somewhat passive search...” He said his goal was to get the

message out and if she would like to contact him, she can. “Otherwise I am continuing my travels and will let fate take its course.” Asked what attracted him to this mystery woman, he told the Observer: “The depth in her quality and character – something in my vague description of the girl is truly reflected in what other Irish men see in their wives and girlfriends, which is why they can relate and how this story has become so popular over here.” Back at home, Crocker’s friends and co-workers at Acorn Dental are adding their support. “He is the nicest man. We love Sandy, and we always joke about finding him a girlfriend, finding him a wife,” says Andrea Pyle, business manager. “And it’s so weird this has happened. We always joke we will find him a Salmon Arm girl or wife.” She says she had no idea about his quest until she received a call in the middle of the night from a radio station in Ireland. “We knew he was going to Ireland, but we didn’t know what he was going for. He travels quite a bit. We got a call in the middle of the night from Irish National Radio. I had to listen to it quite a few times to understand it.” And now, Crocker has a whole group of cheerleaders at Acorn Dental. “Those kind of encounters, when you have that kind of connection, are pretty amazing,” says Pyle. “We think nothing but the best of him. It would be wonderful if he found that.”

Politicians to practise power of persuasion By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Not only do Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors have ideas of what to bring up at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities this week, they have a script. At the suggestion of CSRD board chair Dave Raven, chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton prepared a list of seven key issues directors might wish to raise with provincial officials and other delegates. Hamilton noted rural policing, flood protection and mitigation, the Trans-Canada Highway, and funding for critical infrastructure such as water and sewers are priority issues. Number one on the list, the adequacy of rural police resources has been raised at the board for several years. In February, the board passed a resolution to send to SILGA (Southern Interior Local Government Association) calling for the province to review its police resource model to better serve rural areas. SILGA endorsed the resolution, which will be raised at this week’s UBCM convention. In terms of flood protection and mitigation, Hamilton noted the regional district is currently seeking a legal opinion as to whether provincial legislation requires CSRD to undertake responsibility. “In the aftermath of the recent flooding in Sicamous and Swansea Point area, various provincial officials have indicated that the local authority is responsible for carrying out flood protection and mitigation works,” Hamilton wrote. “This position is contrary to Board Policy W-5 which states, among other things, that the regional district will not respond to flooding incidents.” Next on the list, Hamilton outlined the long history of funding appeals for the Trans-Canada Highway and the need to four-lane the corridor

between Sorrento and Golden. Hamilton also reminded directors that the current level of investment in municipal and community infrastructure does not enable regional districts

to address deteriorating or obsolete infrastructure. He notes that gas tax revenue is simply insufficient to fund new, large-scale capital projects such as upgrading abandoned water sys-

tems or implementing approved liquid-waste management plans. Another cause for local concern is senior government downsizing and insufficient resources to deliver mandates

and better enforcement tools on area lakes. Hamilton notes all three levels of government have some form of legal jurisdiction over lakes, rivers and streams. And while se-

nior governments have stronger regulations to compel compliance, they do not have adequate staffing to follow up on violations such as illegal docks and buoys, or harming fish habitat.

“As a result, residents turn to the regional district to take enforcement action, even though in most instances we do not have legal authority to impose effective remedies,” he wrote.

Great wrap-up to summer Sunny skies graced the Salmon Arm Tennis Club’s largest tournament of the year, the SASCU & SATC 2012 Open Tournament, held Sept. 21-23. Tournament director Doug Rawson worked hard to ensure that matches ran smoothly and without a hitch. The level of play was top-notch with participants travelling from Nelson, Harrison Hot Springs, Vancouver, Prince George, Williams Lake, Vernon, Kelowna, Kamloops and more. Club president Marianne VanBuskirk says she is extremely proud of the club for putting on the event. “We have an organized club pro (Doug Rawson) who also coached one of our local juniors (Cameron Graham) to participate and do well in his first open tournament,” says VanBuskirk. “Also, without the help of volunteers who prepared food and took care of clubhouse and court maintenance, the tournament would not be possible.” Results are as follows: • Mixed doubles – 1st: Mike Knights and Meryl Ogden, (Vernon); 2nd: Eva Koksalova (Kelowna) and Craig Tillander (Vernon).

’Backs acquire Viper The Salmon Arm SilverBacks have announced the acquisition of 17-year-old forward Riley Hunt from the Vernon Vipers in exchange for future considerations. The diminutive forward is listed at 5-ft 5-in tall and 155 lbs, but Hunt’s game packs much more punch than his measurements. The Revelstoke native made his BCHL debut with the Vipers last season. As a 16-year-old he recorded one goal and five assists in 49 games while earning a scholarship to Harvard University for the 20142015 season. The addition of Hunt is expected to provide a spark and some grit at the forward position for the SilverBacks. “Riley is a player that is going to bring energy and enthusiasm to the rink with him every day. He is hard to play against and is not afraid to go into the tough areas,” said GM Troy Mick. While several players have worn the Vipers and SilverBacks colours, this appears to be the first direct trade between the two arch rivals. Have a sports event? Write to us at:

Fine finish to season

Rest: Rebecca Howard’s horse Riddle Master, foreground, is taking two months off.

Rebecca Howard and Riddle Master finished off their eventing season in style. She writes on the Eventing Nation website: “It was clearly important for me to go rock my next major competition. However wanting it will never be enough for any

endeavour, but I was feeling well prepared with a good month of reflecting and riding behind me.” Rock it, she did. At the CCI 3* event in Blenheim, England, Riddle Master was dealing with a sore neck, so was not at his best during the dres-

sage phase. However, he made up for it in the cross-country and stadium jumping events, putting in clear rounds over both. He now gets a couple of months off in the English countryside while Howard checks out other horses to train.

’Backs struggle to produce After three weeks of BCHL action, the prognosis hasn’t really changed for the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. Gorilla goals have been hard to come by and with their most recent result, a 5-0 loss at home Saturday to the Penticton Vees, the club has now been blanked three times in five games. Head coach Scott Robinson, on the job now for close to two weeks, says there’s a number of reasons, first of which is the turnover behind the bench. Robinson is the sixth ’Backs head coach in five years but he and assistant coach Brandon West plan to be in for the long haul. “It’s our job now as a staff to get everybody on the same page as fast as we can,� said Robinson. Another factor is the seeming lack of cohesiveness among the forward lines. “Initially we’re working hard but when we do create turnovers, we’re spectating a little bit,� said Robinson. “We’ve got to work on being available options – 29 shots (versus Penticton) is OK but our quality chances are quite low.� Perhaps another thing to chalk it up to is that some of the more talented offensive players such as Ryan Schwalbe and Carter Lukenda are still figuring out the BCHL as

we will not be patient is with work ethic and second efforts,� said Robinson. “We’ve all got to contribute; we’re not playing with a short bench so everyone is getting an equal opportunity.� The frustration was evident Saturday at Shaw Centre when forward Jeff Kennedy initiated an altercation at the Vees bench and has since been handed a two-game suspension by the league. “I’ve already met with him and said, ‘This is not what we’re all about and that’s not the response to a tough night,’� said Robinson. The light schedule

recently has been good for quality practice time, though goaltenders Adam Clark and Colin Dzijacky would probably argue more game action would be nice. For Robinson, who was named BCHL Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2007 with Cowichan Valley, being back in the league is a great thing. “In particular, being in Salmon Arm – if I could pick from all the teams, this would be it,� said Robinson. “I’m happy to be here; there’s lots of familiar faces around the rink and we’re trying to do as much as we can around the com-

Good night: The Leafs rookie Colton McCarthy fights off a Castlegar Rebels check during Sept. 14 action at the Nelson and District Community Complex. McCarthy scored two goals in the 5-5 tie.

McCarthy keeps Leafs on scoreboard Salmon Arm’s Colton McCarthy is making his presence felt in the KIJHL. McCarthy, playing for the Nelson Junior Leafs in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, has been key in early season games. Versus the Castlegar Rebels, McCarthy buried two, the second tying the game at five apiece and sending it into overtime. Two overtime periods solved nothing and the rare KIJHL tie was the outcome. Leafs head coach Frank Maida said one of the bright spots in the opener was the 16-year-old rookie. “Colton had a great weekend,” Maida said. “He is going to be a player to

watch for fans. He already has interest from the BC Hockey League and the Western Hockey League.” Then, this past Thursday night, Nelson powered past Grand Forks and the Border Bruins’ 1-0 lead to win 2-1. McCarthy scored once in the second period and again, with just a minute remaining, to secure the win. The Leafs are sitting with a 1-1-1 record.

Local Eagles A number of Salmon Arm players are on the Sicamous Eagles’ roster in the KIJHL. They include: Joel Kipp, Nathan Grieve, Aidan Nisse, Nicholas Astastewicz, Andrew Nunn, Justin Murray and Cam Olson.

Building bridges over delta By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

SE SA VI PT H SIT EMAL U S B IM A ER A T 15 LL –3 0

It was a day for sharing knowledge, deepening connections and moving towards a shared vision. Close to 150 people were present for “Meeting our aboriginal neighbours again for the first time,” a daylong workshop Saturday jointly hosted by First United Church and the Switzmalph Cultural Society. “It was an overwhelming success for us all,” said Bonnie Thomas of the Switzmalph Cultural Society, one of the organizers and daughter of late Neskonlith elder Mary Thomas. “My mother would have been so proud of the bridges that were built that day and the opportunity for more to come.” Mayor Nancy Cooper agreed. “It was very informative for me. Sometimes we get a little one-sided. It’s good to sit down and hear what other people

have to say.” Presentations included: • an overview of the Salmon River delta restoration from Bonnie Thomas and Dorothy Argent of the Switzmalph society; • traditional plants and cultural uses at the delta from internationally recognized ethnobotanist Nancy Turner; • contemporary science meets traditional knowledge and wisdom from Alex Inselberg and Warren Bell; • cultural story-telling from performer Ken Thomas; • update on the Mary Thomas Heritage Sanctuary and eco/cultural tourism initiative from Bonnie Thomas and • a new environmental program and partnership at Salmon Arm Secondary from teacher David Ramsay. Gifts were presented to leaders, including a walking stick Bonnie Thomas made for Turner. She explained that Turner was extremely excited when they found a high-bush cran-

No more need to wait Giving back: New music a gift to supportive fans. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Worth the wait! Aimie Laws’ new single I’ll be waiting is a hauntingly lovely acoustic anthem to love and longing. She penned the song about a year ago when her ex, a fisherman, was preparing to go to sea for three months – pouring her feelings into a song that took an unusually brief 20 minutes to write. Laws, who says she’s is in a happy place with a new boyfriend, is excited but a bit anxious about adding video to the song. A homegrown product, Laws went with other local talents to produce both the single and the video. The song was recorded at Jesse Clarke’s Earthtone Studios and the video was recorded with former boss and friend Bram Hermsen of Hole in the Wall Productions/Bram Michael Photography. An acoustic recording with cello, acoustic guitar and acoustic base, Laws says she tried to keep I’ll be Waiting very raw. Accompanying Laws on her new single are Jesse Clarke on guitar, Tyler Matthews on bass

If anyone has ever had to wait for someone, they’ll feel it – I hope.� Laws says making the video was a challenge, particularly re-living the goodbye scene. “I got a friend to do it, but it was really weird to act something out that was happening, but not happening,� she laughs. “The main reason for making the video is to say thank you to everyone for helping to get me to where I am today.� Laws is referring to support she asked for when she put a recording on You Tube. It got an amazing 1,000 hits in no time from friends and fans. Produced by Laws, the video was shot exclusively in the Shuswap – Marine Park wharf, Canoe, Sunnybrae, the Java Jive and the Barley Station. “I’m excited and I’m nervous,� Laws says. “If it was just a song, I wouldn’t be, but it’s a video, so it shows part

The single will be released on Patrick Ryley’s morning show Monday, Oct. 1. The video will get its debut at the Riverfront Pub Friday, Oct. 5, where Laws will share the stage with Australian singer-songwriter Sarah Eider. Laws is working on a

new EP and perhaps a late-spring tour to Newfoundland. Whatever the plans, she knows she’ll be very busy, having just made the transition to relying on her music to pay the rent. “The biggest thing is you can’t quit; if you do you’ve just wasted all that time,� she says. There were times I said ‘screw it I’m going back to school.’ Then I thought, ‘no, I’ve put too much time into this.’�

but Effie calms him and persuades him to let Madge tell the fortunes of some of the guests. The sylph once again shows herself to James, declares her love for him and tells him they belong together, Gurn enters and, believing that he may have caught James talking to another woman, attempts to reveal the situation to Effie but fails As the wedding festivities begin, the sylph reappears and, unable to resist her enticements, James follows her into the forest. Effie is left broken-hearted. Follow the action into the mist-shrouded forest of the second act, Sunday, where magic and malice reside and where some are rewarded by love and others learn lessons of loss .

Salmar Theatre’s popular dance series resumes Sunday, Sept. 30 with the Bolshoi Ballet production of La Sylphide. Settle yourself into a Scottish manor house. It is the morning of James’ marriage to Effie and he is asleep in his armchair. A winged figure, a sylphide, is kneeling by his side. She kisses him on his forehead and he wakes up confused. Entranced by the vision of the sylph, he attempts to capture her, but she escapes him; she reaches the fireplace and vanishes up the chimney. Troubled, he wakes his companions but none of them have seen her. Gurn, James’s rival, arrives and learns that James is infatuated with someone other than Effie. The preparations for the wedding are in full swing. James hardly notices Effie; instead she is wooed by Gurn whom she ignores. James joins in the preparations but gradually realizes that, as Effie dreams more and more of the wedding, his own dreams go far beyond the walls of the manor-house. An old woman, Madge, has slipped unnoticed into the hall to warm herself by the fire. James, sensing that she is a sinister presence, takes an immediate dislike to her and cannot bear to see her sitting where he last saw the sylph. He orders her to leave,

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re spending the week building towards a Full Moon in your sign. You’re determined to end a situation that long outwore its usefulness to you. Don’t waste the blessings on petty emotions. Embrace the chance to be clear, believe in yourself, and use more of your talents. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The most important activity is taking place under the radar, behind closed doors, and deep in your psyche at night. Your dreams help you purge the depths of your frustrations, allowing you to wake up lighter. Change can happen instantly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are you able to practice absolute love and acceptance, non-detachment and open heartedness, with every one of your friends? Friends might impose themselves in ways that can lead to discomfort. You can choose to minimize contact and skip meetings of social groups. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your career is where all the action is. You want a goal so bad it’s palatable. Recognize there’s only so much you can do. There’s no need to push a specific outcome. There is an overall positive trajectory, even if it doesn’t feel like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Mad Men� illustrates what Advertising Execs will do to secure an account, often providing a complete, polished prototype of their work without an official yes. You’ll have to be prepared to provide your own version of a prototype this week for the shot at a larger audience. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What are you ready for? Upon reading that, you’ll either sense excitement, or dread. Most likely, you’re feeling a bit of both. The quick closures, final signatures, and closing chapters clarify a new start is overdue. Enjoy each step towards a metamorphosis.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Signs are pointing to integration of your past struggles, so they’re now seen as blessings. A chapter has ended. Now it’s time to get excited about your life’s direction. Look forward to a moment where you’re more brilliant and able than you ever imagined. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re almost there, rearing towards the end of the frustration you’ve felt. It will likely go out with a bit of drama, excitement, and over the top displays. You’re getting ready to release that indefinable feeling you’ve gotten used to and claim your power. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re unable to contain your joy. It’s part of the sense of freedom you’re connecting to now. There might still be questions, but with hope, your fears diminish. A big financial deal could go either way. Make sure the farm is secure and well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your attention is drawn towards matters of home and family, perhaps unexpectedly. Surprises come up and you find calm within a flurry of action. If your inner resolve is strong, you’re strengthened with each step, proving leadership in every area of life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Moon through your sign slowly edges towards Mercury and Jupiter, making you one of the greatest beneficiaries of their fortunate meeting. You have an uncanny way of turning questions into powerful advantage, allowing you to make the most of a big week. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This might not be the best time to make a risky financial bet. An opportunity comes through a friend, but could end up costing more than anything you see in return. If the opportunity is good, you’ll get another chance.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the SPCA would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES, Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. EMAIL condolences and share memories at www. fischersfuneralservices.com. JEAN MARY MITCHELL Jean was born to Jock & Elsie Rae on January 14, 1920 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Jean spent time in school learning embroidery, knitting and other necessary skills of her time. She was an excellent knitter! During World War II she served as a member of the Royal Air Force in Scotland. She enjoyed going to many dances and other functions held for fellow service members. Jean met and married Ken Mitchell during World War II, making her a war bride amongst many others during that time period. They moved back to British Columbia where Ken was from and raised their three sons, Brian, and twins Allan and John Mitchell in the Marpole area of Vancouver. Jean worked at the Canadian National Institute for the Blind for many years. She was also a long-term member of the Royal Canadian Legion. Jean and Ken retired first to the Cloverdale area where they had a small hobby farm. They then decided to move up to Sicamous where Ken was born and raised. Upon Ken’s death in 1997 Jean moved to Salmon Arm. Jean spent a few years living in Shuswap Lodge and eventually moved to Bastion Place. Jean passed away in the wee hours of Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012. Jean is predeceased by her oldest son, Brian and her husband, Ken. She will be sadly missed by her other two sons, Allan (Sherry), of Salmon Arm, John (Karin) of Ottawa, her grandson Travis (Jenine) of New Westminster and granddaughter, Crystal of Ottawa. We wish to thank all who took care of mom during her times at Shuswap Lodge, Shuswap Lake General Hospital and Bastion Place. By request there will be no formal service.

Salmon carving gets facelift

OBSERVER STAFF

Like the living, breathing fish, a carved wooden salmon is undergoing a life cycle of its own. In 2002, First Nations carver John Sayers and a group of seven First Nations students carved the fish out of a large cedar log that came from Kitwanga in northwestern B.C.

The mural will depict some of the natural landscape of Salmon Arm. It will be up to the students what they want to do with it. Possibilities, says Sayers, would include setting it up either inside or outside the school.
