Court: Accused were youths at the time of Tyler Myers’ killing. By Martha Wickett & Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Four years to the month he was killed, police have charged two people in the murder of 22-year-old Tyler Myers of Salmon Arm. Myers died of a gunshot wound on the evening of Nov. 21, 2008, his body discovered by a passerby about 7:30 p.m. on a trail on the grounds of Bastion Elementary School. On Monday of this week, police arrested a 20-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman, both who were under 18 years at the time of the murder so can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Both are residents of Salmon Arm and both have been charged with first degree murder. The pair apTyler Myers peared briefly MURDER in Salmon Arm VICTIM Court on Tuesday where the charges were read out.

ohn Stephen McInnis has every right to be proud of his Nobel Peace Prize medal. He is likely the only Canadian to have one. But he’s not allowed to display it with his other Canadian Forces honours. Known as Steve to family and friends, McInnis was included in the 1988 prize awarded to members of the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces. “It is the considered opinion of the (Norwegian Nobel) committee that the peacekeeping forces through their efforts have made important contributions towards the realization of one of the fundamental tenets of the United Nations,” says the numbered document accompanying McInnis’ medal, which also noted that peacekeeping forces are recruited from among the young people of many nations, who voluntarily take on demanding and hazardous service in the cause of peace. “In the opinion of the committee their efforts contribute in a particularly appropriate way towards the realization of the goals of the United Nations.” The document, signed in Oslo Dec. 10, 1988, acknowledged McInnis as having served with the peacekeeping forces prior to the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s awarding of the peace prize on Dec. 10, 1988 and noted he is entitled to wear the Nobel Commemorative Cross. Not according to Canada’s director of Honours and Recognition, who advised McInnis he would not be allowed to wear the medal because of the way in which he received it. “In order to be recognized by Canada, foreign honours must emanate from a head of state or government,” wrote André M. Levesque, National Defence’s director of honours and recognition, in an Aug. 28, 2012 letter advising McInnis the UN Peacekeeping Forces Nobel Peace Prize 1988 is not considered an official honour and cannot be worn with national honours. “However, please note your efforts were already acknowledged by the Canadian government with the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal.” This particular medal recognizes service by Canadians deployed outside Canada with

an aggregate 30 days of support in at least one UN international peacekeeping mission. But Royal Canadian Legion Branch #62 past-president Harry Welton does not agree with Ottawa’s position on the UN medal or the general peacekeeping medal struck in 1997. “What I am going to try to do is go through the legion and push for him, I’m almost positive he’s the only one (Canadian) to receive one,” says Welton of the UN medal. “I think it’s an honour, and for Ottawa to push him aside is not right. Some of the people getting the (new) medal have been in safe places while Steve was in the middle of a mess.” The issue has surfaced now because McInnis was awarded the UN medal when he visited Finland last summer. The retired warrant officer served with a

Finnish battalion at Abu Rudeis in the Sinai Peninsula for a six-month period in 1977-78. A week after arriving in Egypt, McInnis was promoted to master corporal and loaned to the Finnish detachment – “way out in the middle of nowhere, with the Gulf of Suez on one side, and desert on the other,” says McInnis. The job of the Finnish infantry was to keep the Israelis and Egyptians apart during an intense period of hostility. “My job was to supply communications between the battalion and UN headquarters in Ismailia,” he says, noting he became See Finland on page A2

Kyllo joins race for riding By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Having enjoyed a taste of civic politics, Greg Kyllo is ready for the next level as BC Liberal candidate for the Shuswap riding. Kyllo, a first-term councillor with the District of Sicamous, decided on Friday to run for nomination to lead the Shuswap riding of the BC Liberal party – a position held by retiring MLA George Abbott since 1996 – into the May 2013 provincial election. Others seeking nomination include former Salmon Arm Mayor Marty Bootsma, former Spallumcheen Mayor Will Hansma and Jordan Ross of Salmon Arm. Along with being a

municipal councillor, Kyllo is the coowner and manager of TA Structures in Sicamous. Both Kyllo and the company feature prominently in the provincial government’s current BC Jobs Plan campaign. But Kyllo has a longer, deeper connection to the BC Liberals (including his friendship with Abbott), which has, in part, prompted him to try his hand at provincial politics. “The Liberals are certainly free enterprise – it’s all about small business, and the rights of the individual,” says Kyllo, explaining what it is about the BC Liberal party that appeals to him. “Obviously it’s all about job growth, and I

lived through the NDP era through the late ’80s, early ’90s. It was just a disaster for our business. “I think the Liberals have done a fantastic job and I want to see that they retain power. The Conservatives, I certainly don’t see as a viable option….”

Asked what hurdles he sees ahead for the BC Liberals in the coming election, Kyllo acknowledged the public is still angry about the HST. But he says he sees the momentum of public opinion swinging back in favour of a Liberal government, something he believes to be essential to the province’s economy. Kyllo says that as much as he enjoys serving as a councillor, he would be able to do more for Sicamous, and the Shuswap, if elected MLA. In the meantime, however, his sights are set on securing the nomination for the Shuswap riding.

Finland honours Letters Canadian vet Welcome Continued from front friends with several Finns, particularly one Reijo Tahti. The two remained friends after their tour together, but lost touch as McInnis, who joined the Army in 1961, was posted to other places – six months in the Golan Heights, four years in Penhold, Alta., then Central Army HQ in Heidelberg, Germany before ending his service with the Air Force at 22 Wing North Bay, Ont. “In 1998, they threw me out,” laughs this man who had always wanted a military career and served the country for 37 years, three of them in missions specifically recognized by the UN medal. “They said I was too old so they retired me.” A few years ago, Tahti reconnected with him through a Canadian Forces captain in the Maritimes, who after Tahti inquired after his name on the Internet, phoned every McInnis across the country until he found the right one. Last summer, McIn-

nis and his wife visited Finland where he met his friend for the first time in 34 years and where, in a surprise ceremony at a military tattoo, received the medal. “I am the only nonFinn to wear it,” he says with pride. “1988 was the Nobel Peace Prize to UN Peacekeepers and I had done all three peacekeeping tours, so all three were eligible.” Of all the peacekeeping countries included in the UN honour, only Finland chose to strike a commemorative medal for their troops, says McInnis. “Denmark might have for theirs as well, but everyone else just ignored it,” he says. National Defence, meanwhile, confirms their stance in a Nov. 1 email to the Observer. “The Sovereign, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, is the fount of all Canadian honours. Therefore, foreign honours must emanate from a similar level, a head of state or government, to be recognized,” wrote Marie-Pierre Bélanger, an Honours and Recognition media relations officer.

Victim knew the accused Continued from front ed in a public setting in Vernon – both without incident. Both were known to the deceased, he said. “We talked to the Myers family – certainly it was a very emotional time for them as we can all imagine... We told them who they were, they were aware of both the individuals. The three individuals – Mr. Myers and the two charged, knew each other. I won’t go into the specifics of that relationship, we’ll let that come out in court, certainly the families also knew each other and I think that the Myers family was surprised at who has been charged...” Shinkaruk emphasized that the investigation remains active and further charges could be laid. “Certainly we find often that once charges are laid, some people at that point may feel safer or may have information they didn’t want to really bring forward for a variety of reasons.” Shinkaruk said he would encourage anyone who has any information regarding the crime to contact police. The courtroom was almost filled to capacity with many young people, some of whom were expressing shock at the identities of the accused. Many said

they felt compelled to come to court to try and look the accused killers in the eye. Shinkaruk was asked at the news conference if the murder could have been drug-related.

Company pitches in to restore power Hurricane Sandy: Aerial Contractors sends men, equipment to NY. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

A local company has joined the push to restore power to New York communities that were hit by Hurricane Sandy. Aerial Contractors Ltd., an electric utility power line contractor based in Vernon and Salmon Arm, has deployed 15 men, six bucket trucks and three digger derrick units, along with service mechanics, to support the restoration efforts in progress on Long Island and in New Jersey. The local convoy joined an overall B.C. deployment of approximately 90 power lineman and 60 pieces of equipment. After seeing images of the destruction and people affected by the powerful storm, Salmon Arm branch owners Shelley and Bill Dawson had no hesitation in stepping up to help when the call came in. “There’s no borders when it comes to things like this,” Shelley says. The call came Nov. 2, originating from FEMA, the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency under the mutual aid agreement for electric utilities. Shelley said the company’s participation

Aerial Contractors general manager Glenn Barr, says the company’s past experience performing storm repairs in Seattle and Washington State provides them with the nec-

The nose knows An 18-year-old man was arrested Nov. 3 after a police dog tracked him to an empty houseboat. Police were notified by an alert citizen of a man attempting to break into a camper located in the 2600 block of 13th Avenue SW at 3:10 p.m. The witness obtained an excellent description of the suspect and contacted police. The police dog was called in and after a short track located the suspect. Charges are pending.

Unwanted attention Police were called Nov. 4 to a report of unwanted guests at a Salmon Arm hotel. When police arrived, they determined that a man from Salmon Arm was breaching a court order barring him from contact with his female companion. The man has breached this condition numerous times and, after this instance, was arrested. The 35-year-old man was remanded in custody pending a court appearance.

Knife threat A family disturbance sparked police attendance and a warrant is being sought for the arrest of a 42-year-old Salmon Arm man. Police were called at 5:45 p.m. on Nov. 4 to the disturbance on Sylvester Road in Tappen. They learned that an adult man had threatened his stepfather with a knife and then fled the residence before police arrived. The investigation into the incident continues, but weapons, threats and bail violation charges will be sought against the suspect.

Police plan speed traps Speeders beware. RCMP will be conducting extra speed patrols in the area of Okanagan Avenue near Fletcher Park in response to public complaints about violators. Police are reminding motorists to slow down through all the school and playground zones in the area, as this will also be the target of enhanced enforcement efforts in the next few weeks.

Finding firefighters for a couple of areas of the city is getting tougher. Salmon Arm Fire Chief Brad Shirley gave his annual report to city council recently and one of the issues he referred to is the difficulty finding volunteers in Canoe and Gleneden. Gleneden is the most difficult, he said, noting it’s made up of large acreages with not a lot of young people on the farms. He said some firefighters started out in Gleneden, but have since moved. While the fire department prefers people who live in an area, it will also look at daytime response – where people work, Shirley said. “It’s not cast in stone.” One other trend has been the departure of younger members who have been taking leaves of absence in order to go work in the north. When they return to town, it’s

Brad Shirley FIRE CHIEF difficult for them to return to the fire department, he said, because they often have other demands and commitments. Currently there are 71 firefighters, remaining consistent with last year. Four new recruits will complete their training in December. This year there have been 203 calls for service, which is comparable to last year in number and type of calls. “The property dollar loss is very similar,” he said. With firefighter safety a number-one priority, Shirley noted there have been no significant

injuries to Salmon Arm firefighters. The dispatch service out of Surrey is working very well, he said, and a change is in the works to move from a telephone line to an Internet feed. Assistant fire chief Jim Nickles continues his safety work, trying to get between 400 to 500 businesses, care facilities and schools to develop pre-fire plans. So far only about 70 are completed, Shirley said. He explained that the plans aren’t so much evacuation plans as they are a source of information about things such as the location of hazardous chemicals on site. As for the interface between wildfires and populated areas, Shirley said the department recently received a sprinkler protection unit from the Shuswap Emergency Program which will be shared between Sicamous, Malakwa, North Shore, Salmon Arm and Silver Creek.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Halloween’s a real treat Halloween may seem like a distant memory for some, having taken place a full week ago, but in my mind, there’s no expiration date on appreciation. I love Halloween, always have. Now that I have three little children to enjoy the experience with, the costumed holiday has renewed importance, as we carefully choose costumes, beg Gramma for some sewing and plan our trick-or-treat strategy. While I understand the malls put on a terrific program, I must confess to being enamoured with the Downtown Treat Trail. To me, it is the quintessential small-town tradition. Closing the streets and letting the little ones run, regardless of the weather, and collect candies from all the community-minded businesses... It brings people together in a way that can never happen in a city. It’s also such a great place to check out the incredible creativity of costumes — this year some of my favorites were Keren Huyter and her family of four Hobbits, a jet fighter pilot, complete with cardboard plane, a three-headed dragon and a homemade Tyrannosaurus Rex that used copious amount of green burlap. (See the photo slideshow on our website.) (Just an aside to teens: turning your hoodie backwards and calling it a costume is stretching it a little thin, don’t you think?) So a big shout out to the participating merchants, especially those who went the extra mile creating elaborate displays. (I braved the Pawn Shop’s creation for the first time with my sevenyear-old and was astounded at the hard work and effort they put into the spooky display.) Special kudos also to the Shuswap Children’s Association, who instead of handing out candy, handed out books for every child — and these were top-quality books with a selection to appeal to all ages. What a great reminder that while we may spend a day or two feeding our bodies with less than healthy food, books are always excellent brain food. I’ve been asked where the best places for neighbourhood trick-or-treating are in the area and, hands down, Canoe has the Halloween spirit. Not only do they do a community pumpkincarving night leading up to the event, but the decorations (and the candy offerings) are tremendous. Sunnybrae also knows how to do it up, offering hot dogs and hot chocolate at the hall and putting on a fireworks display for the kids. As for neighbourhood streets, there are a few popular subdivisions, including sections of Hillcrest, Bayview (in between Okanagan Avenue and Auto Road) and the Little Mountain subdivision. These all saw large numbers of kids, and plenty of residents willing to spend a little to spread the Halloween spirit. Now we move on to Remembrance Day. I wanted to make mention of the lovely poppy volunteer at Piccadilly Mall, who took special time to pin a poppy on my daughter and explain to her the meaning of the symbol. It was very touching. So I have a small plea. While many places are already decking the halls, couldn’t we just put Christmas preparations on hold until after we honour our veterans this Sunday?

Editorial

Harper can’t hide from the polls So Canada is a blue state. A BBC poll of 21 countries completed prior to the Nov. 6 U.S. election showed a solid majority preferred to see Barack Obama return to the White House. Only Pakistan, and by a slim majority, was in favour of a Romney government. Interestingly, the difference in the number of Canadians choosing Obama over Romney was around 65 per cent – the kind of lead any political leader would love. Meanwhile, here in Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper continues to act with apparent disregard for polls or approval ratings. In fact, a September Ipsos-Reid poll shows one in four Canadians think Harper is the worst prime minister the nation has had since 1968. Mind you, he still comes ahead of Liberal Jean Chrétien, and fellow Tory, Brian Mulroney. The highest-rated PM was

Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Since he announced his intention to run for the leadership of the federal Liberals, Pierre’s son, Justin Trudeau, has been grabbing headlines. There’s a charismatic charm to Justin that is beginning to sink in among Canadians tired of a Prime minister for whom democracy appears to be a royal inconvenience. Case in point: the Foreign Investment Promotion & Protection Agreement Harper has signed with China. This trade agreement, which Canada will be bound to for 31 years, received no debate in the House of Commons and little in the way of public discourse. We think it’s time the Prime minister showed the electorate a little more respect for their opinions. After all respect, along with positive approval ratings, is earned.

The Observer asked:

What does Remembrance Day mean to you?

Ashley Bitz “Remembering soldiers who fought for our freedom.”

Blake Ruff “It reminds me of my papa who was in the Korean War.”

Emma Levins “A day to remember the sacrifices soldiers make in wars.”

Michael Hartman “Remembering soldiers like my great -great-grandpa who was in a war.”

Evan Jewell “I think about soldiers who died to help other people.”

Beavers Don’t minimize the impact of pipelines deserve empathy Are we condemning the beavers to an unpleasant death by starvation? This may be the case with the practice of city workers cleaning up the trees that the beaver has cut down. We recently saw the National Geographic special on beavers. The little critters work hard in toppling the trees so that they will have tender morsels to eat during the long winter months. The special showed the young and inexperienced beaver that did not plan in advance with early tree placements. The little jigger would go hungry to the point of expiring from starvation from the cold weather. Although we may like the areas we frequent to be tidy, free from offending branches and downed trees, the need is there to make allowances for the beaver. Ideally, we could think about the logic in expanding the biodiversity of our natural water interface. That is for the beaver and for any other creatures we like to see. Yes, moving the railway, roads and human structures would indeed be a challenge. Then again, we would all be better off, humans and beavers alike. There would be no creosote from rail ties or toxic oil and asphalt runoff from roadways getting into the lakes and rivers. That is if we made an effort to make more reasonable aquatic buffer zone setbacks a reality. It would have to be a changed mindset. Rationally, we do have to make a departure from expansion and development, to restoration and accommodation. We need to have some compassion and leave the beavers’ winter food provisions just where the beavers know they had left them. Larry Pilcher

There is no doubt that opposition to the Northern Gateway project is provincewide, actually greater as from personal observation, Alberta groups were represented at the rally in Victoria on Oct. 24. For those who are undecided or even in favour, try to imagine the local response if it was the Salmon River that was to be crossed with a bitumen pipeline, or the Adams per-

haps, or maybe the Shuswap just upstream from Enderby, in our playground. Just because there are fewer folks living along the proposed route across the province north of Prince George, the location ought not to matter. It is our backyard too, much of the wildlife is the same, and the potential harm is no less because of it. Please consider applying some empathy to relate to the

concerns of those British Columbians who are faced with the proposed construction in their backyard, and decide on your position as if you lived there too. Humans being the way they are, it is easy to minimize the situation if we are not personally and immediately affected. Bill Lytle-McGhee

Why not make the beavers buy a licence? Beavers are builders, and “dam” good at their job. But so are several others in Salmon Arm. The others, however, all need, and pay for, licences from the city. When I read about the issue the council is

dealing with on Christmas Island it reminded me (I’m not sure why) about the issue, a few years ago, with Miss Kitty. Perhaps the current council should use the same approach as the council did then;

charge them an exorbitant amount for a business licence and they will just go somewhere else. Mel Walters

Beavers part of the enjoyment of nature trail Kudos to the “softies” at city hall and to SABNES who wouldn’t cast a yes vote to euthanize the beavers. Not only are they our national symbol, but watching their activities is both interesting and educational. We and so many others, bike, walk and enjoy the nature trails frequently. SABNES

is to be commended for their efforts in providing us with this beautiful bit of nature so close to town, but let’s not forget that beavers are a part of nature too. If in fact the beavers are most interested in willows and poplar, maybe the bases of more of the large trees in the vicinity along the trail could be protected with fencing

wire and leave our furry friends to dine on their favourites, which apparently regenerate well. If I had a vote, it would be to let the beavers be beavers, for their enjoyment and ours. Norma Jean Clark

Mayes should take a stand against FIPA deal An open letter to MP Colin Mayes: I am writing to ask for information on the new China Canada FIPA agreement, and for information on what questions you will be asking the Harper Government before you vote on this issue. That is if there is even a vote on the agreement. I believe there are many in your constituency, including myself, who would appreciate some information before this agreement is ratified. We are not stupid, uneducated people who do not mind being dictated to. We are educated enough to know the problems that can occur by locking the country into a contract for 31 years with a highly secretive Communist government, a government that has some of the worst human rights and environmental

laws in the world. From what I understand under this contract if there is a dispute and it goes to arbitration it will not only be in secret, but it will have the power to fine the offending country or province. Ask Belgium how it feels. These fines could run in to billions of dollars and if the country or province is unable to pay, assets could also be confiscated. The majority of Chinese companies are not companies as we understand them, but long fingers of the Chinese Communist government. We don’t need to give away our resources to feed the Chinese economy, just so we can purchase cheap, badly made products. We have already exported many of our manufacturing jobs to China, we don’t need

to do it to our oil, gas and lumber, for a quick buck. This deal is nothing but a home run for China and big oil companies. It’s time MPs such as yourself and other backbenchers found a voice of reason which would give you the power to hold the Harper government accountable. You do have the power to hold Harper in line, remember he was only elected by 39 per cent of the population. How much of that has now eroded by the lack of transparency and the disrespect he has shown to Canadian democracy. Please, if nothing else, find a voice of reason and stand up for Canada and the people who elected you and who are paying your wages. Christine Ashton

1919

J. Nowatzeck leased from the district, a strip of land 50 links wide, 4.5 blocks long for 20 years for $2 per annum. Two Canoe lots which had fallen to the district for taxes, were sold to Mrs. W.H. Kirk for $32.86 plus interest. O.L Dahl, manager of the CPR Hotel at Sicamous, resigned to take over the Kalamalka Hotel at Vernon.

1929

Important resolutions approved by the chamber of commerce were calls for a new post office here, a request the phone company extend its hours from 10:30 p.m. until midnight, a request the CNR construct a branch line to Salmon Arm, and a call for construction of a Canoe-to-Sicamous road that would reduce the distance from 31 miles to 12.

1939

A delegation from the Salmon Arm Junior Chamber of Commerce appeared before city council to request street lighting along the main roads be extended to the city limits. Alderman Carroll replied Salmon Arm was the best lighted town in the Interior and agreed with other council members that while there was doubtless merit in the proposal, present financial circumstances made it impossible.

1949

Worried by mice damage in their orchards, the members of the Salmon Arm local of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association approved a resolution calling on the B.C. Game department to protect coyotes, owls, hawks and crows in orchard areas. Backing health officer Dr. Edward Best, the North Okanagan Health Unit decided to press for complete dental attention for all first grade children at an annual cost of $2.

1959

A block of property of nine to 10 acres adjoining the site of the new Shuswap Lake General Hospital, owned by R. Turner and Sons Ltd., was tentatively approved by the school board as the site for the new senior secondary school. Picketing was continuing in a labor dispute at a local department store.

Much more than a job

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

If you’re like many people in Salmon Arm, you’ve undoubtedly seen him. An impeccably tidy shirt and tie, white hair, a welcoming smile, efficient service. He is Fred Attfield, probably Salmon Arm’s most well-known gas jockey. Attfield pumps gas at Super Save Gas and has done so for 18 years. He is outstanding not only for his friendly, long-term service, but also for his age. This spry man with twinkling eyes that are framed with a bounty of laugh-lines will turn 81 in January. Attfield co-owned a Super Save in Langley for 10 years before moving to Salmon Arm. “I moved up here to retire and I went back to work,” he smiles. “I can’t sit around – that’s all there is to it.” He credits the job with keeping him fit. “You keep yourself busy, occupied, and you just stay fit. Otherwise you just sit around... This is a good place to get exercise. You get lots of walking, you get your break between cars, and somebody will go out for you. Like I say, it’s a neat place to work.” Attfield is no stranger to work. He has never been without a job and has had a variety. For 34 years he managed a poultry plant in the Lower Mainland. He also ran a dairy farm for 10 years until it came to an abrupt end – and he didn’t have the heart to start over. The government did some tests, he explains, said the cows were sick, “came and killed them, then came back and said ‘it was

a mistake, it wasn’t your cows.’ It was an awful blow.” Although he then decided to retire, Attfield ended up going back to the poultry plant for five years – and then retired for the second time. “I retired again, went to the gas station (in Langley), and retired again. I’m not trying it now until I know for sure I’m going to do it. But I like working. Holidayin’ doesn’t appeal to me. Three weeks is the longest I was retired for.” Attfield has four daughters and, since he’s been working in Salmon Arm, he has acquired another family member – a foster son in his twenties – further evidence of Attfield’s friendliness and warmth. “He decided he wanted me as a dad and I wanted him as a son,” he smiles. Attfield was raised on a farm in Vermillion, Alta. Since he was 14 he has raised chickens. Up until last fall, when he parted with most of them, his passion continued to be raising show chickens – purebred birds, all different breeds, all bantams. “I had a lot of them – 200,” he says, in a conspiratorial whisper. “I’m ashamed to say it,” he adds with a laugh. When he fell last winter while looking after them, his foster son told him it was time to stop. It was tough to do, but last month he sold the last few. Although pumping gas might seem like a tough job, Attfield loves it and takes pride in his work – an attitude that was born in part from being a manager. “You know you have to do good work, or how is the company going to make money? If you don’t, you may as well not even be there.”

MARTHA WICKETT/OBSERVER

Fill ’er up: Fred Attfield is a well-known and popular worker in Salmon Arm. And he likes the freedom. “You know the people, you have people to talk to – I chat to just about everybody who comes in. People in Salmon Arm are nice. You hit the odd stubborn one, but nevertheless, it’s water under the bridge. You always look forward to the next one who’s going to be nice – and they usually are.” Although he used to work much more, last year he cut back when Gail, his wife of 55 years, died. He now works three to four days a week. Attfield appreciates his boss, Dave Pertelson, greatly. “He’s a good boss. He’s reasonable, he’s easy to get along with. You just have to do your job, same as any other boss. He’s so nice, he understands you. You need a day off, you can get it – just let him know ahead of time, not the day of,

which is normal.” Pertelson, meanwhile, who’s owned the gas station for 23 years, can’t say enough about his most senior employee. “He’s the most amazing man I’ve ever met in my life – and the most stubborn,” he smiles. “He’s a powerhouse. And he’s loved by everybody.” Pertelson points out that Attfield is such a dedicated worker that every winter, by himself, he wears out one snow shovel and, every summer, one broom. He remains greatly appreciative that he hired Attfield all those years ago. “It was one of the smartest things I’ve ever done.” As Attfield approaches 81, when will his fourth attempt at retirement occur? “I have no idea,” he smiles. “When I get old I’m going to retire.”

Tourism related jobs growing For some, a dream job would be a vacation planner – for themselves. Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job. The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations – including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire. British Columbia’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the B.C. tourism industry’s human resource association. The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers

Lana Denoni CHAIR, TIABC needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements). “The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout B.C.,” says Lana Denoni, chair of TIABC,

the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia. British Columbia’s location, bordered by the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west, makes it unique within Canada. Its mountain and coastal scenery, present opportunities for summer sailing, winter skiing, and other activities. B.C.’s tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture. Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent. The provincial government’s Gaining the

Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016. The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services. There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers. More than 80 per cent of tourism’s new job openings are projected to come in food and beverage services (43,410 openings), Recreation and entertainment (20,530 openings) and the accommodation sector (18,920 openings).

Developer withdraws proposal to enlarge city boundaries By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

A request to extend the boundary of Salmon Arm has been shelved. In August 2011, the City of Salmon Arm received a request from Canoe Creek Golf Resort Inc. for a municipal boundary extension to accommodate a golf resort development, complete with a clubhouse and 495 proposed residential units. At that time city

council invited the proponent to submit a background report to address issues including: the area of boundary extension, the rationale, the process and consultation. On Aug. 12 of this year, the proponent, David E. Patriquin of Canoe Creek Golf Resort Inc., once again asked that council consider the request and move it forward. Although the pro-

posed boundary extension was listed on the agenda of the Oct. 1

5 meeting, Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer,

He gave the impression that he would be looking at ways to move it forward. Carl Bannister CITY ADMINISTRATOR development and planning services committee meeting, it was deferred to the Nov. 5 meeting. At the Nov.

Coun. Marg Kentel asked if it has been withdrawn for good, and Bannister said that would be up to the proponent. “He gave the impression that he would be looking at ways to move it forward.”

Forum focuses on palliative care By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

An action plan for palliative care will be a step closer to reality following a Nov. 14 community forum. The delivery of palliative-end-of-life care in the Shuswap has been identified as an area needing improvement. The forum will feature the results of a community survey that was carried out in the summer, an opportunity to share ideas on how palliative care can be improved and a discussion on next steps. “It’s exciting because

it’s collaborative with the committee comprised of the Shuswap North Okanagan division of Family Practice, Interior Health and the provincial government,” says Dr. Adele Preto, family practice rep, who says an action plan will be developed following the forum. She says the forum is the last effort to get community input and educate participants, something that will be accomplished with speakers who are wellversed in palliative care in semi-rural and rural areas. Barb Pesut RN will

Barb Pesut, RN GUEST SPEAKER speak on promoting quality care for individuals with life-limiting chronic illnesses in rural areas and another nurse, Terri Odeneal, will discuss a collaborative community approach to excellent

end-of-life care. Participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm as part of focus groups and share ideas on how palliative care in the Shuswap can be improved. The information gathered will be used in developing an action plan that will be presented to the tripartite collaborative committee for acceptance and implementation by the end of January 2013. “For acceptance and implementation, it has to satisfy three criteria – improve patient care and satisfaction, improve caregiver sat-

isfaction and three, be cost-effective,” says Preto. “If we can show that we can deliver more and better care while being cost effective, then it should be a go ahead.” Preto is hoping for a good turnout at the Nov. 14 forum to be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. “Sooner or later, we all die, so we’re all potential consumers,” she says. “I think if we want the service to be as good as it could be by the time our turn comes around, we have to work at it.”

Memorial bench delay frustrates family By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Cheryl Lou Sinclair doesn’t like to complain, but the wait has been a bit much. Sinclair and her sister Joy Carter are the daughters of Jack and Barbara Dowling who died within a year of each other. The Dowlings lived and worked in Salmon Arm for 40 years, their home on Ninth Avenue between Shuswap and McGuire lakes. Because they enjoyed walking around McGuire Lake so much, their daughters decided a memorial bench there would be a fitting tribute. “In 1999 when we

first attempted to secure a bench or have a bench made for this area, we filled out forms, were told to be patient and then were sent in ‘circles,’” the sisters wrote in a letter to city council. The women noticed a wood slat bench nearest their parents’ former home with no dedication on it, which they thought would be perfect. They offered to pay to upgrade the bench. Sinclair told the Observer that she went back to the city several times over the years. At one point there were only five names on the list; another time her

family wasn’t on the list at all, she says. “Who knows what happened with the forms?” At city council’s meeting Oct. 22, the letter was discussed briefly. Coun. Debbie Cannon asked if a response has been sent to the family. Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, said Brad Ackerman has contacted them, telling them the bench program is full but a new memorial walkway is being offered to citizens. The McGuire Lake Memorial Walkway will be a

paving stone pathway on both the east and west sides of the Japanese Friendship Gate. Sinclair says a bench would be a more fitting

memorial to her parents.

Charity: Group raises funds for African projects. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Stitch by stitch, area grandmothers are contributing about $10,000 a year to better the lives of African grandmothers. Raised over six years, these funds have been donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, with 90 per cent of the money going directly to the people who need it, says active local grandma Margaret Filiatrault, who recently attended a BC Interior Grandmothers Campaign Gathering. On a much larger scale, Filiatrault says 240 grandmother groups across the country have raised $16.5 million since 2004. Attendees at the Oct. 23 meeting in Kamloops learned about the various fundraising projects undertaken by other groups. While they were interesting, Filiatrault says the local group has been served well by the knitting and sewing efforts of a core group of about 15 to 20 people. “People donate wool and it turns up on Bernadette Forer’s step,” says Filiatrault of the club’s president, who is always happy to get

taking this any more.’” The group was also successful in making $300 by taking a collection to the conference and selling items to other grandmas. Another highlight for the grandmothers was keynote speaker Ky’okusinga Kirunga, who was raised in Uganda and Kenya and has worked with the Stephen Lewis Foundation for five years. The Grandmothers to Grandmothers project was developed to support African grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. “When Ky’okusinga started visiting the projects in 2006, she

saw desperation, grief, poverty and depression,” says Filiatrault, noting that with help, they are now better able to feed and care for their grandchildren and other orphans. “They have had their dignity restored and they are feeling embowered, proud and happy.” Kirunga told the women that one of the benefits of the Stephen Lewis Foundation is that it can act fast to address issues. For example, Filiatrault says other agencies gifted a village with two vans and the foundation stepped up to run them. “It was a wonderful gift but, how are they

Below, Eleanor Payment, Martha Dzaman, Sue Demenok and Lesley Sherman perform a hula dance during the Hawaiian luau-themed event held Sunday.

Thirty-two rinks enjoy on-ice fun in the sun After 17 years, it’s still going strong. The 17th Annual Canadian Cancer Society Funspiel was held Sunday at the Salmon Arm Curling Rink. The theme this year was tropical and many of the teams were dressed up in grass skirts, leis and beach attire. A huge silent auction added to the fun and fundraising, with items and gift certificates coming from many local businesses. Thirty-two rinks participated in this funspiel supported by team sponsors, many of whom return year after year. The winning team was Masonic Lodge # 52, made up of Doug Ramsbottom – skip, Ron Brown – third, Doug Toop – second, Gary Carlson – lead. The second-place finishers were the Brian Maurer rink, and third place was the

Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union team. Collectively over the past 17

years, thousands of dollars have been raised in Salmon Arm, with this event intended to:

• Fund continued research to enable the discovery of new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. • Provide continued support for programs that will enhance the quality of life for those dealing with the disease. • Increase public awareness through education of the risks of the disease as about half of all cancers are preventable. • Enable continued access to the Cancer Information line and directory where everyone can get current and credible information. The curling club appreciates all those who participated, donated goods and supported the fundraiser, including much gratitude for the tireless volunteers of the Salmon Arm Cancer Society for all their hard work.

Robbers crushed The Shuswap Ring Robbers Novice Ringette team faced off against the Kelowna Crushers in away action Saturday. The home team opened the scoring before Delaney Perry scored for the Ring Robbers early in the first period. A fast and physical Kelowna team scored four unanswered goals before Natasha Kociuba tallied for Shuswap late in the first period. Though Brianna Howard put one in for the Ring Robbers mid way through the second period, but the team fell to the Crushers 10-3. The Ring Robbers host Kelowna Black this Sunday.

Flockhart honoured The Western Athletic Conference announced its 2012 women’s soccer All-WAC honours last week and selected two University of Idaho players among those honoured. Senior midfielder Jill Flockhart from Salmon Arm was one, an All-WAC for a third-consecutive season. “It’s a testament to their hard work and they’ll be the first to tell you it’s because of the hard work of their teammates,” Idaho head coach Peter Showler said of the honours. “They’ve shown that individually within games and the other coaches around the league recognize that. To be recognized by your opposition, it means you’re doing well.” Flockhart is tied for third on the team with eight points this season and ranked second among Vandals with six assists during the regular season. Flockhart moved into second all-time at Idaho in career assists this season with 17. She also ranks third all-time in game-winning goals (5), fourth in total points (35) and eighth in career goals (8) in Idaho soccer history.

Competing on world stage By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

John Connor didn’t waste any time representing Canada in Hawaii recently. At the Oct. 28 Xterra World Championship in Kapalua on the island of Maui, Connor, 16, was one of 11 boys from around the world competing in the triathlon championship. He sped to a very respectable sixth-place finish over the tough terrain, finishing in three hours, four minutes and 36 seconds. Also represented in his category were Mexico, Austria, France and Guam, as well as Hawaii, Rhode Island and California in the U.S. Of the total number of 630 participants of all ages who finished the course, Connor placed in the top fifth, at 120th. The event, which is described on the Xterra website as the world’s premier off-road triathlon, combines a 1.5-kilometre roughwater swim, a 30.4-km

mountain bike ride and a 9.5-km trail run, “best described as a tropical roller-coaster ride through pineapple fields and forests.” A tsunami warning for the Hawaiian Islands was cancelled early the morning of the race, but the waves were still big – quite an initiation for a guy from the Interior of B.C. who hadn’t swum in salt water before. “They were a pretty decent size when we were racing,” says Connor. “I’d raced in waves before, but it was my first time swimming in the ocean when I got to Hawaii. It was fun.” Although rough, the water was warm, so wet suits weren’t required. The hardest segment for Connor was the run, he says. “It was long – it was a good run. There were places where it was pretty technical – roots, steep cliffs, you go under and around big logs.” To add to the challenge, the temperature was hot – over 30 degrees Celsius.

and enjoy it more.” Connor is a competitive mountain biker as well as a cross-country skier, having skied in

the 2012 Ski Nationals in Quebec in March. To qualify for the Xterra Worlds in Hawaii, he competed in the Canadian National Open Championships in Canmore on Sept. 2. He says during the three days following the Hawaii competition he was feeling pretty rough, pretty sore, but he quickly recovered. Now his sights are set on the Ski Nationals once again, as well as the Xterra Worlds in 2013. This year he didn’t really start triathlon training until his biking season ended in midAugust. “I’ll start training a bit earlier maybe... After the race I thought, ‘yeah, I should try this again, and focus a bit more on this,” he smiles. Twenty-nine-yearold Gomez Noya from Spain, a silver medallist in the 2012 Olympics, was the overall winner in Hawaii, completing the course in two hours, 26 minutes, 54 seconds.

Broncos to take on champs The Salmon Arm JB Broncos played in the first-round playoffs and defeated the Kelowna JB Dragon by a score of 36-12. The Broncos’ offence started slowing in the first half but luckily the defence did not and kept the Dragons at bay. In the second half, the Bronco offence woke up and began to tally up some drives and scores behind a strong power run game led by tailback Jayden Mourato. With both a strong Bronco offence and defence in the second half, all the Dragons could do was watch. The entire Bronco defence deserves mention but the play of Reilly Jacques, Mathew Nesdoly and Jacob Morland was ex-

With a short bench, many Colts had to play both offence and defence the entire game. This season was a developing year for the team, who always played a strong first half. The 2012 Peewee Colts, coaches Mark Lindgren, Rob Seaman, Ron Blackburn, Aronn Heckrodt, Shawn Casimiri, Matt Bacon, and team manager Bonnie House appreciate all the parents for their support and cheers from the sidelines. The coaches also appreciate the Colts themselves for always seeing the fun side of football regardless of the score.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Backs add another road win Now two months into the season, Salmon Arm SilverBacks coach Scott Robinson likes the direction the team is heading but if he could just get his charges to play at home the way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been on the road, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be really excited. Friday brought a 4-2 road win over the West Kelowna Warriors while Saturday saw a 2-1 overtime loss at Shaw Centre to the Nanaimo Clippers. That makes the Gorillas 5-2 on the road this season but 1-6-2 at Shaw Centre. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other two games came at the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our focus on the game plan has been a little better on the road,â&#x20AC;? conceded Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve addressed and continue to work on.â&#x20AC;? Coming off Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over the Warriors, the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Backs started sluggish against the Clippers, outshot 13-5 in the first but tied 1-1. After Kyle Kramer opened the scoring for the visitors, Bryden Marsh replied with his first BCHL goal to even it up. That was all the scoring until 11 seconds into double overtime when Reid Sturos scored the winner.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the power play isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working at home and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re losing one-goal games, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often the reason why,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson. Salmon Arm will try to improve on that Friday when they host the Surrey Eagles. They play Saturday in West Kelowna. Both games begin at 7 p.m.

Success: SilverBacks forward #22 Bryden Marsh scores his first BCHL goal during Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest versus Nanaimo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first period wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t our strongest against Nanaimo but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting closer to playing to our identity,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys are learning how we have to play to be successful; consistency now is the watchword. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The prior weekend, we won in Vernon and came home and laid an egg against Trail; I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better for that experience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about them learning and growing and I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing our guys do that.â&#x20AC;? The growth was evident Friday as the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Backs doubled up the Warriors who had defeated them handily in the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two previous meetings. Tied 1-1 after

SilverBacks Hockey

one, Salmon Arm got goals from Sean Flanagan and the winner from Harlan Orr in the second. The Warriors got back within one in the third but Brandon Mistalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s empty-netter sealed the deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into the weekend, we had a real short lineup,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson, as affiliate players Mitchell Barker, TJ Christensen and Nick Fidanza all suited up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To go into West Kelowna and get two points was good; the previous scores were 6-0 and 5-2 (losses) so it shows weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re improving.â&#x20AC;? The play of goalie Colin Dzijacky helped as well. The 20-yearold Thunder Bay, Ont. native stopped 67 of 71

shots on the weekend, including 34 against the Warriors. Other bright spots were the play of Mistal and the penalty kill, which was 9-for-10 in the two games. Of Mistal, Robinson says it was only a matter of time for the points to start coming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quiet leader on our club, he does every little thing right. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very coachable and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a surprise heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to find the net. Of the home and road contrast, the power play might be the biggest indicator. Salmon Arm is second in the BCHL with the man advantage on the road but 15th at Shaw Centre.

Host Pee Wee Silvertips team takes two The Salmon Arm Pee Wee Tier Two Silvertips hosted a great tournament this weekend. The first matchup Friday had the Podollan Inn-sponsored Tips up against Terrace. The Silvertips managed to keep the game a tie with less than 10 minutes left in the third period, but a penalty and a miss cue left them with a 4-2 loss. Saturday had two games in store for Salmon Arm: the first, a tough team from the North Shore Winter Club where the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tips tried but came up short with a 15-3 loss. The Silvertips had a break to forget the loss and focus on the opportunity to get a win against their next opponent, Quesnel. This proved to be an amazing match, where Salmon Armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work and focus paid off with their first 5-3 win. The win got the home team a chance to rest and play later in the morning

The side wind gusts -Canad s s Step o r c r i the hanie p a c were insane and I discovered I have a fear s e i n n Webster a nd Mike Shaver of a Million Dollars in Pe to accept them and their “biker” of strong winds.” By Barb Brouwer

OBSERVER STAFF

s Mike Shaver and Steph Webster rolled into St. John’s, Nfld. last week, they ended a successful 8,000-kilometre cross-Canada concert tour fuelled entirely by pedal power. Speaking from Cow Bay, N.S. last Friday, the couple, who perform as a Million Dollars in Pennies, described their delight in the four-month bicycle tour that began in July, when the couple dipped their tires in the Pacific Ocean. “It’s the best thing I’ve done in my life,” raved Webster. Any preconceived fears about the long journey were laid to rest, added an equally enthusiastic Shaver. “The only downside is I found it to be addictive,” he says. “If that looked daunting and wasn’t, what more could be possible?” Webster says that once they cleared Rogers Pass, she thought she could do anything. That, in part, could also be a response to the couple’s close-up experience with a bear that had them penned in an outhouse for 20 minutes. “He was just so curious, he came up around the outhouses and no amount of

banging, yelling or honking would move him,” says Webster. “We finally got to our bikes and just bolted.” The reception the two received on the rest of the tour was far more heartening. “All the way across the country we experienced so much kindness, welcome and warmth,” Webster says. “It definitely restored our faith in humanity. It’s amazing the generosity we experienced, it was so overwhelming.” Shaver describes the experience as absolutely mind-blowing and attributes it to the emails announcing their next destination and asking if anyone knew anybody who would put them up, give them a place to set up their tent, or feed them, in exchange for a concert. “People would pass on messages to their friends,” he says. “We met people who were friends of friends, or friends of friends of friends.” Shaver says he was overwhelmed by the willingness of people to become part of their experience. “I think the notion of a bike is instantly disarming and we were travelling as a malefemale duo,” he says of people’s willingness

gear. “And it’s kind of hard to look tough and menacing when you’re wearing tights.” While many people seemed to expect negative feedback about their time in Quebec, Shaver says the couple’s welcome was incredible. “I would say we had some of our best biking on some of the 4,000 to 5,000 kilometres of bike trails,” he says, noting Quebecers welcomed their efforts to communicate in French. “People were so excited. We told just about everyone to go and bike in Quebec… we didn’t have a single bad experience.” The couple played music, tidied up after themselves as much as possible at each place they stayed and left a CD with a thank you note. “We felt like we were getting the better end of the deal, and most of the people felt they were getting the better end of the deal.” The couple’s on-road experience was also given a stellar 95 per cent positive review. “The big transport trucks were the most courteous by far; we have nothing but good things to say about them,” says Webster, noting the weather co-operated for most of the four-month journey, deteriorating badly as they rode into St. John’s last week. “It

Threaded through their musical trek was an emotional current that they were following in the footsteps of Terry Fox. Their journey began and ended near monuments to his courageous journey. A couple in everyday life as well as in the musical world, Webster and Shaver say their trip has bonded them even more. While they discussed a few ideas for new songs on the road Shaver says he needs a quiet, introverted time at home in order to write the music. As of last Friday a Million Dollars in Pennies had played 24 shows, with three more on the slate. The couple will board a train in Halifax on Friday for a more relaxed journey home. Accepted to VIA Rail’s onboard entertainment program in lieu of tickets, Webster and Shaver will play two 45-minute sets daily all the way back to Vancouver. They arrive in the Shuswap Saturday, Nov. 17 and, as promised, perform in concert that night at Sunnybrae Hall. Vancouver singer and guitarist Missy Donaldson will open for a Million Dollars in Pennies at 8. Tickets at $15 are available at Synergy and Acorn Music.

Telling tales of solitude Chris Czajkowski has lived in the far reaches of the Chilcotin for almost 30 years, where she has hand-built all of her cabins, often with no help at all. Resourceful and fiercely independent, Czajkowski has become one of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite wilderness dwellers. She will share her experiences and introduce her new book, Gintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ghost: A Wildnerness Dwellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream, at SAGA Public Art Gallery at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9. In 2006, Czajkowski bought a derelict homestead at Ginty Creek. Although there is rough road access into this property, it is still quite remote. Her new book is

Wilderness dweller: Chris Czajkowski appears at the art gallery Friday. Czajkowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account of settling into this homesite, which previously belonged to Ginty

Paul, an eccentric recluse with whom Chris became quite intrigued. Accounts of Ginty vary

greatly. Some locals remember her as a cheerful woman, always laughing, while others feared her volatile temper. Some thought it plain strange that she allowed goats into her house and kept a jar of pickled mice on her shelf. This fascinating character comes alive as Czajkowski intersperses her own experiences with excerpts from Gintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letters and documents, as well as accounts of this peculiar woman from friends and neighbors. Gintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ghost is a story about two unconventional women who, have lived remarkable lives immersed in British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular wilderness.

App lets users to swim with salmon Every four years people from across the country and around the world visit Roderick Haig Brown Park to witness one of natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest stories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the return of the Adams River sockeye salmon. The Adams River Nature Society (ARNS) is working on a project to create an â&#x20AC;&#x153;appâ&#x20AC;? that brings the experience of the sockeye salmon run into the palm of your hand: a

tablet game with enriched and interactive content that tells the sockeye story. The app will allow users to virtually adopt a salmon and take care of it from egg to adult, through stages of its perilous journey from the Adams River to the Pacific Ocean and home again, using mobile smart phones, tablets and classroom smartboards. The next big salmon

run is in 2014. To develop, deploy, test and market the Adopt-ASalmon App, the project is seeking funding. Last week, ARNS received a $4,000 grant for the project from the Shuswap Community Foundation. The project has been taken on by Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Small Change organization and gifts to the fund will be used to design and develop the app, and pay program-

mers and graphic artists for their work. Funds raised from the app itself will be directed toward the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate goal of acquiring the property located next to Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park in order to protect sockeye salmon and other species of fish and enhance fish habitat.

Playing with gratitude By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Shuswap Theatre will be seriously in the groove this Friday. The Jazz Club of Salmon Arm presents Juno award-winning bassist-singer-composer Brandi Disterheft. Still in her twenties, Disterheft, has captivated audiences in Canada, Europe, Japan, China, Haiti and Carnegie Hall. “She is what we call serious,” said the late Oscar Peterson. “I grew up listening only to jazz and being in awe of him, and as he was receiving an award, he pointed me out,” says Disterheft. “It seemed like a dream, it was humbling, and for him to recognize me, I must be on right path. It was surreal.” Disterheft began her love affair with music at the age of five, when she began playing piano. By the time she got to high school, her dad suggested she pick up double bass. “I immediately took to the bass, it has such a low, charming, round sound,” she says, noting she began playing in her mother’s jazz trio as a teen. Disterheft earned a full scholarship to Ontario’s Humber Col-

Bass bravura: Accomplished bassist, singer-composer Brandi Disterheft brings a taste of jazz to Shuswap Theatre Friday. lege, further honing her craft by performing every night. At her mother’s urging, Disterheft headed to New York, where she spent four years playing as a sideman and band leader. “The greatest musicians from all over the world come to play there and their jam session go until five in the morning,” she says, with enthusiasm. “That’s every night. It’s very much a live jazz community and they’re very welcoming.” Disterheft has worked with some of the world’s great bandleaders and says she started singing because she loves to write lyrics. The young talent sings in French and English and wrote a “sultry French ballad”

that has been very well accepted. “I love singing in French; it’s like having another persona,” she laughs. “I feel as though I am not so bashful.” Gratitude is the name of her new album and the title song she wrote for her cousin, who was diagnosed with cancer and died last year. “We thought he would survive,” Disterheft says of the man who was like a brother to her and offered her immense support and encouragement. Disterheft wrote the song two weeks after get cousin died. “I was grateful for his life and the memories we had together,” she says. “That was the emotion and reason to write, to compose. It just poured out of me.”

Her beliefs and feelings are expressed in other album cuts. “I feel the world is really changing in my eyes and Open is really about keeping an open mind in life,” she says, adding Blues for Nelson Mandela was written after she read his book and was inspired by his perseverance. “It’s a bit like that in jazz, with its smaller audiences.” The native-born Vancouverite was recently under the apprenticeship of Miles Davis’ bassist, Ron Carter, and is currently studying orchestration at New York’s prestigious Julliard School of Music. Disterheft performs at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9 at Shuswap Theatre on Hudson Avenue, across from the Salmar Grand. Admission is by a suggested donation of $15.

Best of the hayride rolls in The the Louisiana Hayride live stage show is making a stop at the SASCU Rec Centre Saturday, Nov. 17. “If you’ve enjoyed shows one, two and three, you will be delighted with this ‘best of’ show that combines songs from all of the previous shows,” says Hayride creator Lori Risling. “If you’re new to the Louisiana Hayride live musical experience, this will be the perfect show to see for

your first time.” All the original characters are back, including Patrick Ryley as Hank Williams, Andrea Anderson as Patsy Cline, Adam Fitzpatrick as Elvis and Gil Risling as Roy Orbison. In addition to their wonderful songs, you’ll love the other classic tunes in the show such as Crazy Arms by Ray Price, El Paso by Marty Robbins, Great Balls of Fire by Jerry

Lee Lewis, and many, many more. Rounding out the ensemble are musicians William Brookfield and Mike Melnichuk. Lori will again provide interesting anecdotes about the original singers, such as Elvis, who was told he probably shouldn’t pursue a career in singing. Tickets are available at Wearabouts on Alexander Street and Touch A Texas in the Mall at Piccadilly.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have the ability to solve an existing problem. Instinctively, you know that you own special healing energies which can be channeled into passionate, creative projects. This is a great time to pursue a new love interest. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As the week unfolds, you might have to run some errands here and there. Midweek onwards, you are in a completely different mood; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling that luck is finally on your side. A prosperous time presents to you giving you many reasons to smile about. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are in amorous mood these days. Enjoy the fresh ideas that come across your mind and the pleasure it brings along with it, yet donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan anything for the long haul. Long-term commitments wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work as easily and will not prove too promising. Stick to the present. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your week starts off on a positive note making you feel empowered and in control of yourself. You relate well with others and you seek to assert your creative side. Midweek onwards, you are filled with an element of joy giving you great possibilities of advancement. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You continue to be private and away from the spotlight. Little do they know that you are in a good place right now, both emotionally and focus wise. You have the ability to be productive and remain grounded. You tend to work much more from home these days. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your ruler, Mercury, slows down. It is advisable not to stress out, rather do the best you can to finalize your assignments. You are perhaps tempted to purchase some fine clothing or jewellery. You have the right knack for it however; ensure to check your bank situation first.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a lot of action going on for you these days. Change is the air and it requires for you to make a few adjustments. It seems challenging, but, you have to remain open and flexible. Midweek onwards, you are thinking of making some travelling plans. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The start of the week may bring you some emotional upheavals and you certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t envision having to deal with so much draining energy. Right now, just sit back and do not initiate anything new. Complete old tasks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your ruler, Jupiter is in retrograde mode, making you reevaluate your own belief system and reexamine your relationship patterns with others. Soon, Mercury will be in the same stance suggesting we keep things to the minimum. Resolve old issues, do not initiate new ones. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The matter-of-fact Capricorn will tend to be in a long dreamy state of mind. Your mind is filled with fantasy and imagination and it captures the picture of a more idealistic future. You are certain that you can put together the bricks for its foundation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The much needed freedom of thought requires you to make certain adjustments. Worldly activities are prominent and your reputation increases as you let in all that is foreign and perhaps, quite different of your own background. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This week you will need to be more thoughtful in matters concerning your career and public image. Since this period will be marked by a greater confusion, others might misunderstand your standing. Ensure others remain truthful to you.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gwendolyn Rita Toope (Reid) at 81 yrs. Gwen was born in Green’s Harbour, Newfoundland, where she grew up and where she also met the love of her life, Doug. They were married in 1950 and began their life’s adventure. Because of Doug’s work, they resided in many places in Newfoundland: Gander, Corner Brook, Mount Pearl, Pasadena and Springdale. Gwen was always very active in her community with Kinettes, curling, dancing and square dancing. She and Doug made, and retained, many friends in each town, and when retirement took them to British Columbia in 1985, they returned to Newfoundland almost every summer to visit with family and friends. They lived in Qualicum Beach for a short time and then moved to Parksville where Gwen and Doug became involved in curling, dance, and the Seniors’ Center. In 2001 Gwen and Doug moved to Kelowna. They joined square dancing and became very involved with the Seniors Centers’ dances and activities. Gwen was always instrumental in pursuing new friendships and activities and this kept her and Doug very busy. She loved to walk every day, usually going in excess of 5 km per walk. She received many curling medals and trophies during her curling years, and she was devoted to watching the Canadian national curling championships, rooting for Newfoundland all the way. Gwen had strong family beliefs, and devoted her life to caring for her husband and raising their children. In November of 2000 Gwen and Doug went on their dream vacation to Australia where they stayed for over 6 weeks enjoying the Gold Coast and many sights. Gwen was predeceased by her two brothers, Gordon (Phyllis) and John (Evelyne) and her two sisters, Jenny (Alex) and Olive (Stan) and finally, by her sweetheart, Doug, in 2005. She is survived by her sister, Shirley (Claude), her two sons, Lloyd (Maggie) and Terry (Janet) and her daughter, Linda (Rick). She is also survived by her three grandchildren, Shaun (Kera), Crista and Ashley (Michael), two step grandchildren, Rian (Susie) and Melissa, as well as three great-grandchildren, Terra and Marshall (Ashley) and Kai (Shaun) and three step great-grandchildren, Lewis and Levi (Rian) and Alma (Melissa). She passed peacefully away on October 27th with family at her side and holding her hand. She will be missed. Much thanks to all the staff at Hillside Village and to Dr. Goldberg for their enduring care through the ups and downs. A commemoration of Gwen’s (and Doug’s) life will be held with family and friends during the summer of 2013 in Newfoundland. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’ S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129.

Travel expenses add up for Okanagan, Shuswap MLAs By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

The public’s business means racking up kilometres on the odometer and hours in airports. B.C.’s Legislature has released travel expenses for all MLAs from April 1 to Sept. 30. This includes $31,243 for VernonMonashee MLA Eric Foster and $9,549 for Shuswap MLA George Abbott. “When the legislature is sitting, flights are cheaper because you can book in advance,” said Foster. “It becomes expensive when the legislature isn’t in session and there are short trips back and forth to Victoria.” Of the $31,243 for Foster, there was a capital city allowance ($8,400 for accommodations and a $2,166 per diem), in-constituency travel ($2,376), general travel ($10,803

for travel and a $567 per diem) and accompanying person travel (one trip at $2,494). There was also speaker-approved travel at $4,437. While in the constit-

uency, Foster says he travels around meeting with residents and organizations. “It pays for all of the driving to Cherryville and around the constituency, including Silver

Star,” he said. For Abbott, who could not be reached for comment, there was a capital city allowance of $1,000 for accommodation. There was also in-constituen-

cy travel ($3,563), general travel ($2,913 for travel and a $111 per diem) and accompanying person travel (three trips for $1,962). Foster says travel is necessary for elected

officials because of the geographic size of B.C. “Look at the guys coming from Fort St. John,” he said. “Look at the cheap ones and they are the

ones with constituencies in Victoria.” The MLA travel expense summary can be found at www.leg. bc.ca/mla/remuneration/travel_expenses. htm.

Deino closes book on ORL After years of overseeing the public library system, Lesley Dieno is ready for a new chapter in life. Dieno will retire as executive director of Okanagan Regional Library at the end of the year. “I am ready,” said Dieno, who has held the position for 25 years and is looking forward to travelling. “I have known for the last year that I will retire.” Dieno has seen a number of changes during her tenure, including growth of the system to 29 branches and the introduction of Internet-based services. The board is currently determining who the next executive director will be and an announcement should be made by Dec. 31. ORL is the 16th largest library system in Canada.

There is a coupon at each till that, when scanned, adds $2.00 to the customer’s order. That donation is given directly to the food bank in Salmon Arm. The food bank then special orders the products that they require to ﬁll up the food bank. Save On Foods provides the lowest possible price to the Foodbank to help those donation dollars go farther.
