Nesting in a knot Two baby rufous hummingbirds wait impatiently in their nest for a meal to be delivered. The tiny nest was built in the knot of a rope hanging in a shed in the White Lake area. Bird experts say it is a rare occurrence to see hummingbird babies in a nest, as they are usually well hidden from view.

Driver dies after police chase Fatality: Independent Investigations Office to probe RCMP conduct in the death of Courtenay Eggen.

By Tracy Hughes OBSeRveR STAFF

Members of the Independent Investigations Office (IIO), who investigate deaths or serious injuries that are potentially police related, were called in to investigate a fatal motor vehicle incident on Auto Road involving the Salmon Arm RcMP. courtenay Brianne eggen, aged 21, of cherryville, was the driver and sole occupant of a car which collided with a parked dump truck in a parking lot off Auto Road Se in Salmon Arm,

just after midnight June 21. She died at the scene. According to the RcMP, on June 21 at approximately 12:15 a.m., an RcMP officer in Salmon Arm attempted to conduct a traffic stop of a vehicle and driver. A press release issued Monday by the IIO states, “Initial information indicated that the vehicle stopped, then subsequently fled once the officer approached. It has since been clarified that the vehicle did not stop at any point; rather it fled

immediately when the officer attempted to stop it.” “A brief pursuit was initiated but was subsequently terminated. Shortly thereafter, the vehicle collided with a parked truck,” states the release. The release did not mention an RcMP cruiser was also damaged after going off an embankment on the opposite side of the road from where eggen’s car rested beside a dump truck.

Continued from front In response to the Observer’s questions about the condition of the RCMP officer involved, Kellie Kilpatrick, executive director of Public Accountability with the Independent Investigations Office, said she could not comment. “What I can say is that we did not receive notification of any other injuries,” she said. At the scene in Salmon Arm’s Industrial Park Friday morning, the crumpled car sat beside a large dump truck at the edge of the parking lot of the Country Kitchen Restaurant. A basketball and other damaged items were visible in the trunk area of the mangled wreckage. On the opposite side of Auto Road, a police car sat wedged between a building and a grassy embankment. Investigators were checking tire marks where it appeared the cruiser had gone over the edge of the road and down the short slope. The police cruiser had two tires blown out and its trunk was damaged when it collided with the building. The IIO was alerted to the situation at 12:30 a.m. and immediately

Kilpatrick says information provided by the RCMP indicates the pursuit was called off, but the investigators will be reviewing the timeline of the incident. “That is certainly a key component of any investigation,” she said. Auto Road between 40th and 44th Avenue NE was closed until Friday afternoon while investigators examined the scene. This is the first time the Independent Investigations Office has been called to look

into a case in Salmon Arm. There are four mobile investigative teams, with one on-call at any given time to be dispatched around the province. “We can deploy one, two or partial teams, depending on the nature of the incident. Plus we have people here in Surrey doing additional support work. We can, very quickly, customize the response,” said Kilpatrick. It is not known how long the investigation will take.

and the department is working to highlight traffic concerns. Drug offences show a small increase and Keane said methamphetamine is on the rise, while cocaine and heroin are the other two major concerns for police. Keane gave no reason for the overall decrease in crime, saying it’s hard to explain because, like the economy, it is affected by so many things. However, he said the department has completed initiatives that he believes may have made a difference, such as school and community involvement.

Drunken swimmer saved Police are issuing their thanks to a group of people who rescued a swimmer in distress from Shuswap Lake on Friday night. On June 21 at approximately 11 p.m., Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a report that several members of the public risked their lives to assist a 23-year-old woman in Blind Bay. Police learned that the woman, a resident of Vancouver, had entered the water to swim approximately three-and-a-half hours previously, without telling her friends of her intentions. Due to several factors, including alcohol consumption, the woman got into trouble and began to scream for help. Some people nearby heard the screams and utilized a boat to rescue the female and bring her to shore. Police assisted in re-uniting the female swimmer with her companions. “Salmon Arm RCMP wish to thank the Good Samaritans for going to the assistance of the female. The ending to the story may have been dramatically different without their quick intervention,” says an RCMP press release.

Council nixes creative signs By Jessica klymchuk OBSERVER STAFF

City council has decided against utilizing the creative community for ‘no smoking’ signs in parks. On May 13 council voted in favour of $6,250 for signs including $1,000 for creative sign design. However, at the June 24 meeting, Coun. Alan Harrison suggested that the $1,000 no longer be allocated for creative sign design, saying this was the wrong sign to be creative with. Harrison said the no-smoking signs should be strictly regulatory and look regulatory. A creative design might not enforce the self-policing aspect of

the ban, he said. Coun. Ken Jamison was absent and Chad Eliason was the only councillor who opposed the amendment. “I think we have a real chance here to send a message,” he said, adding creative signs would encourage more emotional compliance. Couns. Debbie Cannon and Marg Kentel originally opposed the added cost of creative signage. Coun. Denise Reimer said the funds could be used in a creative way elsewhere in the community. The parks listed as requiring the most signage are Blackburn, McGuire Lake Park, Little Mountain Park and Fields and the Turner Creek Trail.

An appeal of a legal ruling in favour of the City of Salmon Arm involving a marina in Canoe will not be proceeding unless the courts receive a security payment. In the BC Court of Appeal in Vancouver on June 18, Madam Justice Nicole Garson ruled that Willy’s Wharf Inc. and Clare’s Cove Marina Ltd. must post a total of $32,000 – $12,000 as security for the costs of the appeal as well as $20,000 for security for the judgment in the original trial. On April 2 in BC Supreme Court in Kamloops, Justice Geoff Barrow ruled against Clare’s Cove Marina Ltd., Willy’s Wharf Inc., Jiro Adventures Ltd. and William MacIsaac, who were claiming more than $2 million in damages from the city and Brooke Jackson Downs law firm. The lawsuit arose from a failed attempt by MacIsaac and the companies he controls to purchase and redevelop the marina. A later ruling on costs decided the city was entitled to $168,000 in costs, as well as specific ‘disbursements’ or payments in the range of $90,000 that were made by the city in connection with the lawsuit. The grounds for appeal that Willy’s Wharf and appellants put forward was a list of 12 items including: allowing new evidence to be heard; and ordering that the case be reheard or a new trial take place or, in the alternative, awarding damages and costs in favour of the appellants/plaintiffs because the evidence and affidavits had been tampered with. Court documents outlining the discussion leading up to Justice Garson’s decision to halt the appeal until payments are received note that the city estimates the appellants collectively have debts of about $1.3 million and own no assets in B.C. MacIsaac did not dispute the assertion. The judge states: “I agree with the city that there appears to be little or no merit in the appeal, particularly because of the adverse findings of credibility against Mr. MacIsaac.” However, she concluded, “ordering security for costs of the appeal would not deprive the appellant of the right to bring a meritorious appeal.” Willy’s Wharf Inc. and Clare’s Cove Marina Ltd. have 45 days – until early August – to post the security.

Sturgis cancels in Merritt

Canada Day Deadlines Advertising Deadlines for July3

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Yet another change in plans for the 2013 Sturgis North Motorcycle Jamboree and Music Festival. There won’t be one. Sturgis North announced Thursday on its Facebook site that the event will be postponed until August 2014 “due to time constraints re the new location and we apologize for any inconvenience!” The 2013 event was going to be held in Merritt, after an earlier location planned for this year was nixed. In December 2012, Sturgis North and the Neskonlith Indian Band announced they had formed a partnership and would be holding the 2013 event Aug. 22 to 25 at Silvery Beach on Little Shuswap Lake near Squilax. In April, that plan was cancelled but no public explanation was offered. Emails from Sturgis North were sent to the Chase RCMP as well as the Columbia

edition are:

Not this year: After previously planning the 2013 event for property at Silvery Beach near Chase, Sturgis North organizers announced a move to the former Merritt Mountain Music Festival grounds. Now they have cancelled this year’s event, but say they will bring the event to that location in 2014. Shuswap Regional District informing them of the Squilax cancellation. In May, Merritt was announced as the new site. In 2011, the event was held in Salmon Arm both at the fairgrounds as well as on Neskonlith land in the Gleneden area. In 2012 it moved to the Spallumcheen Motoplex

Speedway and Event Park. Although Sturgis North 2011 received some good reviews in Salmon Arm, about 15 businesses were left angry because they weren’t paid an estimated $300,000 for their services. In November 2012, the motoplex initiated a claim for close to $400,000 in BC Supreme Civil court

against Sturgis North Encore Productions Inc., but the Observer was told then by a motoplex spokesperson that negotiations were still underway. However, Bob Newcombe, manager of the Spallumcheen facility, said Monday he is not able to comment on the situation, because “we are ending up having to sue them.”

It’s about safety, not blame In the minds of some, advising teenage girls to be careful in this sometimes-dangerous world is akin to blaming them if they become a victim of a crime or accident. Such a belief is nonsense and casts criticism on common-sense actions that should be taken by parents of all teens — boys and girls alike. On the weekend of June 15/16, 1,000 or so young people gathered at the Tree Flats site in Barnhartvale to take part in a massive bush party to celebrate the end of the school year. A 17-year-old girl told police she became separated from her friends in the huge crowd and was subsequently sexually assaulted by a male youth. Such an attack is abhorrent and shocking and was met with many comments from teens, parents, police and Kamloops-Thompson school district officials. Among those comments were some from parents and the school district that cautioned youth against putting themselves in situations that may harm them. To me, to most parents I know, to most rational-thinking people I know, such advice is warranted and necessary. To the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre, such advice constitutes victim-blaming. In a press release, the counselling centre said questioning how parents can keep their children safe “implies that girls can do something to stop rape and that if we give them a list of safety rules, they are in charge of preventing a sexualized assault.” We can tell our sons not to rape until we are hoarse. We can, as Dick argues, “critically evaluate the societal influences that lead young boys to rape” and we will still have young boys raping their way to manhood. Karl deBruijn, assistant superintendent with the KamloopsThompson school district, said all students receive frequent lessons and reminders about drinking and driving, using drugs and putting themselves in situations that could be harmful to them. As a parent, I am glad this is being done. When deBruijn refers to partying teens at a massive bush party as “prey,” he is correct. “They’re drinking, they’re vulnerable and they aren’t paying attention,” is how deBruijn described the party at which a young girl had her life irrevocably altered. Yes, the blame belongs to the cretin who attacked her, but it is patently ridiculous for the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre to dismiss as “victim-blaming” advice that could protect our youth. Are we as parents are not supposed to persuade our kids that such gatherings just might be dangerous? This world can be ugly at times, which is why we teach our kids how to cross the street safely, whom to call if they get lost, how not to be lured by a stranger and where not to walk after dark. This is why talking to your kids about the dangers inherent in attending such gatherings is the prudent thing to do and has nothing whatsoever to do with victim-blaming. –Chris Foulds is the editor of Kamloops This Week

Few happy endings for wildlife A video posted to YouTube of a bear entering a pickup truck by unlatching the doors might be funny for viewers safely ensconced in their concrete and glass condos, but encounters with wildlife in the city rarely end well. For the animals. It seems every spring there are sightings of bears in urban neighbourhoods ambling through backyards and down alleys tipping over garbage cans, pawing at bird feeders. Recently, a deer somehow managed to wander through the busy streets of the Lower Mainland for hours before conservation officers were finally notified. Sadly the otherwise healthy and robust deer didn’t survive the shot from a tranquilizer gun. Ungulates like deer don’t react well to tranquilizing drugs, said Dave Cox of the Conserva-

tion Officer Service. The stress of dodging traffic, barking dogs and curious humans probably didn’t help. /One of the great allures of living in B.C. is the vast natural wilderness that begins right in our backyard. It’s easy to be at a grocery store in the morning and then having a picnic in the middle of a first or second growth forest, surrounded by mountains and trees for as far as the eye can see in the afternoon. Odds are there’s creatures amongst those trees. And sometimes they wander out of those woods and into our streets. We’re encroaching on territories and behaviours bred into them for thousands of years. We need to respect their coexistence with us. – Black Press

Cabinet rookies handed Liberals should foot the bill hot-button portfolios BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – There are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.” B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two summers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison

built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetle-kill harvesting efforts. And, of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries.

In the Vancouver Point Grey riding Christy Clark lost her seat in the legislature to David Eby, fairly and squarely. In the Kelowna West riding, Ben Stewart won his seat fairly and squarely. This is what an election is all about, the votes are counted and someone wins or someone loses, that is fair. This byelection in Kelowna is not fair. Ben Stewart is stepping down, not because he is ill, not because he has personal problems, not be-

cause he was arrested for drunk driving. He is stepping down only for political reasons on behalf of the Liberal Party of B.C. Now, because of his politically motivated actions, the taxpayers of B.C. must bear the cost of holding a by-election – byelection held solely for the purpose of getting Christy elected on behalf of the Liberal Party. Asking the public to change the fact that Christy lost, at the public’s expense,

is just not fair. The Liberal Party, not the taxpayers, should bear all the costs of holding this byelection – Even the costs of the opponents campaign. Christy is a loser, that is a fact, proven by the voters in Vancouver Point Grey. Should the Liberal Party not like it, I say too bad. So just let the losers stay losers, or force the Liberal Party to pay the piper.

‘Customer’ not the right term For the 13 years that I have lived in Salmon Arm, I have always thought of myself as a resident and property owner. Never have I considered myself to be a customer, nor do I expect the property owners that are in the lob-

by at city hall paying their 2013 Property Tax or the occasional visitor who has a parking violation to pay consider themselves to be customers. On page 28 of the 2012 City of Salmon Arm Annual Report the word “customer”

appears 12 times. I encourage our city to adopt a more citizen-centric approach when referring to the citizens, property taxpayers and visitors of Salmon Arm.

Warren Welter

Premier needs to take long-term view Dear Christy, your ambition to pay off B.C.’s debt, and not burden the next generation with it, is praiseworthy. But, have you really thought about the big picture? Money and debt is a manmade creation and is not real. Natural gas and oil, however, is the real thing and a finite resource. It took billions of years for the Earth to solidify, and now we are fracking it, with already devastating consequences in some places, for short-term gain?

Physics professor Stephen Hawking lamented, “We’re acting with reckless indifference to the future on Planet Earth, it will be difficult to avoid disaster in the next hundred years, let alone the next thousand or million.” Politics seems to be totally disconnected when we consider today’s technology at our disposal: Robotics has replaced human labour, and instead of celebrating and sharing this achievement, we’re in despair. An honest roundtable symposium could resolve these problems.

Financial fortunes are made and lost with the click of the mouse, or in a nano second by super computers, but no loss to those who operate and own the technology. I’m deeply ashamed of what has become of our species. You, Christy, may not have had time to think of these things, but you should, as you have accepted a mighty responsibility for the people of B.C., future generations and our planet.

Teens’ learning goes global

By Jessica Klymchuk

Despite a wet growing season, more than 15,000 crates of strawberries were shipped this year by Salmon Arm and Magna Bay producers. Bob Bristow of Brown & Smith Ltd. reported Magna Bay Berry Growers’ Association forwarded 9,274 crates of berries to Prairie markets. Return to growers was expected to average $3.50 to $4 a crate. A 17-year-old girl walked in her sleep and fell from a westbound CPR passenger train sustaining only a bruised ankle. She awoke by the tracks near the Carlin siding and made her way to the home of C.A. Walper. Gasoline prices increased to 48 cents a gallon for premium and 46 cents for regular grade.

Students took their education across seas this year, gaining knowledge that can’t be realized in a classroom. The cultures they immersed themselves in have qualities and difficulties foreign to westerners, but they returned having learned about themselves. Eleven students travelled to India for 20 days for a trip that organizer Calvin White described as unique. In fact, he says, it’s more of a journey than a trip. “We do it because there’s no other place in the world where any person, particularly a student, can learn about life and about themselves,” said White. The India trip is about self discovery. It was the third of its nature within the district but White said it was the hardest. They faced cold temperatures and long train delays. “When you have a 17-hour train delay and basically no other place to wait other than the cold hard floor it helps you

connect to the real world,” said White. Travelling across the north from west to east, the group took in tourist attractions such as the Taj Mahal, music concerts and camel treks in order to see pleasurable aspects of the country. However, they also saw the “nitty-gritty,” the realities of life in India. A leper colony, the burning ghats and Mother Teresa’s orphanage were among the visits that brought students face to face with their own mortality. “You can’t be fake in India,” said Maya Pereira, Grade 10 Salmon Arm Secondary student. “In a way, who you truly are comes out and what you believe in.” Pereira says she had difficultly at Mother Teresa’s, where they were volunteering with physically and mentally handicapped children, because she felt inadequate to help the people there. She says she felt helpless and it bothered her. “I left Canada wanting to return kind of having found myself,” said Pereira, “but really,

looking back on it, everything I was looking for was already there, I just didn’t realize it and it was a really interesting feeling realizing that.” Much like Pereira, Grade 12 student Rachel Witt discovered something about western culture that had a more negative effect on her: the use and waste of water. Witt travelled with 25 other students to Ghana over spring break in March. Working with Free the Children, the students began building a school in a place called Asemkow. “The first time I walked over to the sink to grab a glass of water I felt nauseous because in Ghana we did the water walk with the women,” Witt said of her return to Canada. “We had to walk an entire kilometre to get unhealthy dirty water and I can walk four steps to my fridge.” Witt said the culture shock was unexpected, although they were warned it could happen. She was also surprised at how happy the people were.

“They came back with an understanding of how incredibly lucky the people in Ghana are in ways that we need to learn from,” organizer Wendy Woodhurst said of the students. “They don’t have much but they’re happy people.” “I went to Ghana thinking that I would be the big hero going to change their lives and to help them grow when really it actually ended up being quite the opposite,” Witt said. “All the people there taught me a lot about myself and the person I want to be and they showed me better ways to live.” Grade 10 SAS students Paige Skofteby was also moved by the people, saying children were happy just playing with a bug on a string as if it was a video game. She said it was eye-opening to see how much westerners have and how much it’s taken for granted. Woodhurst said she was overly impressed with the students, who wanted to continue building past their shift, despite 39-degree weather.

Adams Lake: Band pursues economic opportunities.

By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Large solar panels rotate slowly above the roof of the large complex, while more panels gather energy on the walls of the building. This is the retrofitted Adams Lake Recreation and Conference Centre, which includes a full-size gymnasium, a commercial kitchen, an exercise and weight room, individual meeting rooms, and seating in the gym for 450. Nearby is the acclaimed Chief Atahm School, the only Secwepemctsin, or Shuswap language, immersion program within the Secwepemc Nation. The Secwepemc are the indigenous people who inhabit the south central Interior of B.C. Like the recreation

Albert Quinn AdAms LAke BAnd mAnAger and conference centre, the school, which was built about 15 years ago, is powered in part by ‘solar-thermal’ energy, a combination of solar and geothermal. Atop a water reservoir required for the geothermal system sits a greenhouse, which was built to use excess heat and power. It’s heated yearlong at no cost. To date the gym and school have experienced an approximate 40 per cent reduction in heating costs, while making a significant impact on the band’s goal of reducing its carbon footprint, says Albert Quinn, manager for the Adams Lake Indian Band. The Adams Lake Indian Band has been pursuing a green path for several years, one that is beginning to reap benefits. Chief Nelson

Leon explains the band sees the benefit of green energy as well as sustainable agri-business. “It’s demonstrating how we can move forward while still maintaining and looking after the environment.” Previously, the main revenue and employment generator was the forest industry, including logging and a lumber mill. However, as the industry struggled, the band began searching for other opportunities. In striving to bring back an earlier reliance on agriculture, irrigation was an obstacle, with no access to water other than the South Thompson River. At a time when the Neskonlith Indian Band had received funding to help repair irrigation pipes that had melted in a fire, the Adams Lake Band decided this would be an opportune time to bring the line to Adams Lake land, says Quinn. “Somebody said, you know what, this would be really good to tag into the line, but also the water coming down from the dam.” Irrigation lines have now been completed and, to date, 100 acres of unused land has been brought to life. Another 300 acres are slated for this year and, the target for completion of the project is 1,100 acres. Last year the first crop was oats, with an alfalfa mix now grow-

Possibilities for the future include canola and cereal grains, produce and wine grapes. A small hydroelectric project is envisioned. Adams Lake is consulting with the Neskonlith band regarding the feasibility of harnessing power from the dam at Niskonlith Lake. Still with the green theme, in 2007, the band established a community green energy plan, “to explore seriously green energy… and to reduce the carbon footprint by as much as 25 per cent by 2020 or 2025,” explained Quinn. Wind power is on the horizon. After exploring several options, the band identified half a dozen locations within Secwepemc territory as potential generators. “It’s probably safe to say we’re two years away from having enough information to decide – but it sure looks good,” said Quinn.

Another option being investigated is what’s called “pumpback storage,” Quinn explains, noting much work is still to be done in terms of environmental assessments, design and permitting. Elmer Lake, also called Star Lake, sits part way up the mountain that overlooks the Adams Lake community. Pump-back storage would mean capturing water that sometimes floods homes at the bottom and pumping it back up when power is at its lowest cost. Then it is released when power is at its highest demand and cost. “It is quite an economically viable process,” said Quinn. “But it’s not just about economic viability… Here’s some green energy, renewable green energy, and that’s the key – if we can do it in an environmentally sound way and put some green energy into the grid.”

Weather norms washed away By Barb Brouwer OBSErvEr STAFF

Blame it on the Gulf of Mexico. Salmon Arm received 29.8 mm of rain on Wednesday, June 19 blowing the 20.8 mm record posted on the same day in 1997 out of the water. A low-pressure area that brought torrential rains to the Shuswap had sucked up precipitation from southern U.S., says Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist. “The storm is coming at the normal time of the year, but two to three times what you’d normally get in a storm,” he said last Thursday, noting the Shuswap as a whole received a month’s worth of rain or more. “This is likely because it tapped into moisture from Texas and the Gulf of Mexico.” A station in Enderby recorded 73 mm of rain in 24 hours from Wednesday to Thursday morning, while a station in Salmon Arm recorded 43 mm in the same period. “It’s certainly significant, I know we’re gonna be way over at the end of the month,” Lundquist said, noting normal precipitation in Salmon Arm is 63 mm for the entire month of June. “The band (of low pressure) got stuck for a long time over the area, then the storms from Alberta moved back over B.C. and were particularly hardhitting in the North Okanagan and Shuswap.” Looking on the bright side, Lundquist said the rains have soaked the forest as another fire season begins, and noted it would have been worse had the storm arrived during the main snow melt. And, though Environment Canada was forecasting several more days of rain, Lundquist said it would be more normal for the time of year. “The storm season is at the tail end,” he said, noting weather patterns would soon be shifting into drier summer patterns. “We usually get out of the woods between the first and 10th of July.”

Look for tipping fees at CSRD landfills to increase from the current $70 per tonne to a recommended $92 per tonne. Columbia Shuswap Regional District waste management co-ordinator Ben Van Nostrand told directors at the June 20 board meeting that a recently completed Solid Waste Management Disposal Strategy Report indicates the regional district’s solid waste management plan is underfunded. “We have to have more money in the closing budget,” Van Nostrand said, noting staff will review the various scenarios for increasing tipping fees indicated in the report. “In the fall it’s anticipated we will be coming to seek approval for raising tipping fees to better bulk up the reserve funds.” While the independent consultant indicated that, overall, CSRD’s solid waste program is being managed efficiently, there will not be enough funds to cover anticipated operation, capital and post-closure costs. While CSRD landfill sites have more than 40 years of operation

remaining, they are closed in phases, with the next phased closure scheduled for the Revelstoke landfill in 2015. Other recommendations in the report are to install a crush pad at Scotch Creek, close transfer stations at Malakwa and Glenemma and maintain the Sicamous landfill as is. Van Nostrand said staff do not consider closing Glenemma or Malakwa to be an option – an opinion applauded by both Area

E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin and Area D Falkland director René Talbot. A crush pad for Scotch Creek is under review. Van Nostrand told directors two “developing factors” will help the solid waste program build reserves. “The Ministry of Environment has mandated that by May 2014, producers of printed paper and packaging will be responsible for the cost of collecting and processing those materials,” he said in

his report to the board, noting the regional district’s recycling depot contract expires Dec. 31. “The combination of those two factors will allow for the solid waste program to reduce the subsidies it contributes to the recycling program and reallocate these funds to the reserve accounts.” Van Nostrand said the tipping fees could be set at $92 a tonne, a rate that will be applied to both commercial and residential customers.

She dropped off 240 bottles of Green Works cleaning supplies, 40 boxes of Glad garbage bags, 28 bags of Iams dog food and 24 cans of wet dog food at the SPCA on June 11. “It’s so nice that she’s doing this for us,” Krystal Martin, SPCA staff member said. “We definitely struggle with the cleaning supplies and wet food helps a lot.” Lamond purchased all the products in two days. She said the

Green Works coupons came from one kind of newspaper insert from two different dates and the purchase totalled $3.11 of the original $1,200. Lamond started couponing four years ago after watching Americans save thousands on TV shows like Extreme Couponing. She decided to give it a try only to discover that she, too, could save thousands. After learning extreme couponing was doable in Canada, she has spread the wealth around, helping friends, family and charities with their supply needs. “First and foremost we usually help out the women’s shelter,” said Lamond, “and this (SPCA) is one I haven’t been able to help out yet so I thought I’d just take advantage of it and help them, take turns you know, pass it on to other people whenever you can.” With the right coupons and the right sale Lamond realized the

Frequent BATHROOM TRIPS? Bell Prostate Ezee Flow Tea #4a

Teamwork: Dr. Joan Bratty and palliative care co-ordinator Mary Jane Jackson discuss plans for improving care.

Interior Health supports palliative care plan By Barb Brouwer OBServer STAFF

A newly minted report provides several recommendations for improving end-of-life care in the Shuswap. In 2012, the Shuswap North Okanagan Collaborative Services Committee (SNO), with representation from Interior Health, the SNO Division of Family Practice and the General Practice Services Committee, began looking at ways to improve palliative care with a survey and public forum. Their report recommends the creation of a community palliative committee to provide co-ordinated care. In the short-term, the team will bring key players together with the co-ordinator to ensure patients and their families receive the care they need – community care, family doctors, hospital pharmacists, acute care nurses, physical and occupational therapy and hospice “At this point people tend to work in semi-isolation,” says Dr. Joan Bratty, noting newly hired palliative care co-ordinator Mary Jane Jackson ful-

fills one of the report’s chief recommendations. Next on the agenda is to establish weekly multi-disciplinary meetings to discuss active cases – hopefully beginning in September. “The family doctor is still the core point of contact for the patient...,” says Bratty, noting a provincial educational piece will support them in end-oflife care. In terms of next steps, Bratty says transition between home and hospital needs to be improved, as do supports for families who are caring for a loved one and bereavement care. Creating an online inventory of all services is also on the agenda. A palliative-care facility with easy access to the hospital is a long-term goal. McGuire House fits the bill, but would take more than $1 million to renovate and significant community commitment to see it happen. “It seems like it’s been taking forever, but it really is making progress,” says Bratty. “We’re pulling together and co-ordinating existing expertise and building on that.”

Council lobbies for added lab services By Lachlan Labere observer sTAFF

The ebb and flow of seasonal residents is one of the challenges Interior Health has in determining appropriate service levels at salmon Arm’s outpatient lab. At their recent meeting, city council had an opportunity to raise a couple of concerns with IH area director Peter Du Toit and health services administrator Kirstine Hill. one of those concerns was the wait times at the salmon

Arm outpatient lab. Coun. Chad eliason applauded IH for having opened a oneday-a-week sample collection lab service in sicamous, which he said helps lessen the demand on the service in salmon Arm. eliason went on to say there was talk of improving salmon Arm’s lab services, and ask if that is still the intention. Du Toit said he didn’t have all the information on lab services but the last time he checked, “they’re continuing on evaluat-

ing what the demands and supplies are on the lab.” “It’s really interesting again because of our population – we have a huge crunch when the folks who have been snowbirds come back into town and we do all their testing,” says Du Toit. “It’s difficult to build a system to accommodate that demand and then the rest of the year it’s not too bad. I can say they’re constantly looking at the numbers.” Coun. Ken Jamieson said a second lab

would be a good idea, even if it is only open part-time. “There are people who do go to work at seven, or eight or nine o’clock in the morning, and that’s a good time to get something done,” said Jamieson. “but there’s older folk who require fasting and that’s their time of the day too. so if we could somehow separate those demands. even a part-time opening with reduced hours would be beneficial, but of course that all costs money.”

Shuswap residents embrace library’s digital features By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Okanagan Regional Library has well and truly entered the digital age. Stephanie Hall, the library’s new executive director, brought Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors up to speed at last week’s board meeting in Salmon Arm. Hall reported that while circulation of physical materials is down from 2011 to 2012, digital use has increased library use dramatically. One place where reading books is on the rise, is the library’s Summer Reading Club, which is offered at all branches across the vast system, saw an increase of 16 per cent, with general program attendance up by 1.7 per cent. Hall explained the importance of libraries in building good readers, noting the process begins early. “Reading to children from zero to six improves brain development…. tracking shows they do better in kindergarten, at Grade 3 and so on,” she said, pointing out Summer Reading Club activities have been shown to reduce learning loss over the two-month break and foster reader enjoyment. As well, Hall noted four in 10 Canadians lack the fundamental literacy skills needed for job mobility and that higher literacy is associated with higher employment levels and earning. “Poor literacy is associated with poor health and higher literacy is associated with higher levels of community involvement and volunteerism,” she said. Costs to operate the library system are shared among all municipalities and service levels are based on user population. Hall said that in 2011, the local government contribution was eight per cent below the provincial average. Okanagan Regional

Library provides access to more than 750,000 physical collections, e-collections and a support team of professional librarians. With the motto, “a haven for curious minds,”

ORL has grown with digital demand, offering books, magazines, music, language instruction and more at the click of a mouse. Hall told directors the Okanagan Regional Li-

brary system is in need of an organizational review to determine if the system is getting value for money. “Are we getting out what we put in,” she asked, noting other is-

sues in need of review include public access, rural services and ORL’s role in technological literacy. “We know who we’ve got,” she said in terms of library pa-

trons. “We’re trying to find out who we need to get.” Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper applauded the library. “They do get good value for their money,

they’re worth every penny,” she said. “The library can help with creating programs for after school to combat mischief, or help people with building resumes, etc.”

trainer change The Salmon Arm SilverBacks are sad to announce that current trainer/equipment manager Troy Clifford has stepped down from the fulltime position due to a job promotion in his paramedic career. SilverBacks GM and head coach Troy Mick said he understands his decision and is happy he will remain in a part-time role. “Cliffy is, without a doubt, one of the best trainers in the game of hockey. His professionalism and work ethic are second to none...” Clifford remarked: “It is with deepest regrets, I have had to make this tough decision to step down as trainer and equipment manager with the SilverBacks. Although personal and work commitments have regrettably forced me to make the decision to take a step back, I can assure everyone in Salmon Arm that the SilverBacks will always be a part of me. I cannot express how thankful I am to Troy Mick and the SilverBacks organization for the opportunity I have been provided, and I look forward to continuing as part of the organization moving forward.”

Course management is the key on narrow pine tree-lined fairways that wind through rollercoaster terrain at the base of looming Mount Ida, just outside the town of Salmon Arm in the Thompson Okanagan region. Designed by Les Furber, the 6,738-yard layout offers jawdropping views of the Shuswap Mountains with every shot.”

Archers on target for medals It was another sharp performance by Salmon Arm archers. On June 22 and 23 the Salmon Arm Archers hosted the B.C. Provincial 3-D Championships. Under sunny skies and on a challenging course, several local archers took home medals. Reigning Canadian Men’s Open Champion Ben Shaule repeated as Provincial Champion, claiming the gold. Also claiming gold medals were Joe Sarrazin in the Masters 50 category, Connor Lott in pre-cub compound, Logan Meier in cadet compound, Christine Reimer female open and Tea Reimer female cadet category. Bronze medals went to Vern Stevens

Shuswap lacrosse teams shine They went three-forthree. The Shuswap Outlaws Bantam, Peewee and Midget Lacrosse teams all won their zone championships over the weekend. The Bantams and Peewees also won the playdowns for the provincials, while the Midgets’ provincial berth will be decided tonight. The Bantams trounced North Okanagan #1 and #2, then went on to defeat Nicola Valley 7-5 and 6-5 (OT) in a best-of-three series in provincial playdowns. The Peewees dominated in all three of their games versus Kelowna, Penticton and Nicola Valley. They head to Kamloops July 11 for provincials, while the Bantams travel to Delta July 18. The Midget B Outlaws started the Thompson Okanagan Minor

Lacrosse League playoffs on Saturday against the Penticton Heat. Shuswap benefited from a balanced offence as they got goals from seven different players on their way to a 7-3 victory over the Heat. Saturday’s win secured a spot in the final on Sunday against the Nicola Valley Thunder. The final was tight early as the teams traded goals back and forth. The second frame ended with the score tied 5-5. Shuswap then scored four unanswered goals in the third period to secure a 9-5 victory and their second consecutive TOMLA Midget B title. The Outlaws now move on to face the Kelowna Kodiaks for the right to defend the provincial title that Shuswap won in 2012. The game will be played tonight, 6:30, at the Enderby Arena.

out the year. Qualification includes being selected by Judo BC by gaining enough points at each event. Competitors must possess at least a green belt. “They have camps after and they teach you new things, so I’m looking forward to

learning,” Chan said of attending the event. Grainger said she’s going for experience but is also looking forward to competing with past rivals. “I like competing, I like fighting,” she said. “That’s why I’m going.”

United’s contest ends in tie Last Tuesday night women’s soccer saw a well-matched game between Ted United and Vernon’s Chick Kickers. United’s Shalinda Morin opened up the scoring with a top corner shot off a cross from Sue Doray. Chick Kickers quickly answered with a goal of their own. Kyla Sherman found the back of the net af-

ter receiving one of Doray’s powerful corner kicks. Once again Kickers answered with a goal of their own to tie up the game at the end of the first half. Both teams came out strong in the second. Kickers repeatedly tried to feed their speedy forwards but couldn’t get past the solid defensive line of Heather Rolin, Christine Nick-

les, Krista Yonker and Heidi Barry. Halfway through the second, Liz Mair sent a wellplaced through ball to Tricia Martin who in turn saw Morin and sent it through to her. Morin, with great finesse, lobbed the ball over the Kickers goaltender. United was once again up by one, but not for long. In the last minute of play with a scramble

in front of United’s net, Kickers placed one in for a final score of 3-3.

Exhibition sparks memories of wildfire By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

A single lightning strike on the Fly Hills July 29, 1998 ignited a firestorm and the largest evacuation in B.C. at the time. “Flight From the Flames,” a new exhibition opening tonight at 7 at the R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum is sparking many memories. Hear the helicopter whirring overhead, the radio messages advising residents how to get out of town or updating those remaining on the fire’s progress. See the faces, uniforms and scenes that became so familiar over the course of the fire. Read the stories from those who fought the wildfire and those who lost their homes. For many who lived through the wildfire that ravaged 6,400 hectares of forest and farmland, sleep is still a rare commodity when the forests are dry and the wind is high. Items are still being gathered for the exhibition that will run for two years, says museum curator Deborah Chapman, who calls Observer photographer James Murray co-curator. The idea for the exhibition came to Chapman, who has been at the museum for 20 years, as she mulled

over what projects she could bring to life over the next decade. “What do you want to cover? What’s important to the community?” she asked herself, pointing out she had no idea about what had been featured before her arrival. “I started the fire exhibition in 2010 and most of the work has been done on my own time as a labour of love.” Chapman also credits the Observer, supporting the museum with all the old photos and negatives. “They ‘gave’ me I wanted an exhibit that people could connect to; this was different for me because it was recent, still raw for people, so I had to be sensitive.

Deborah Chapman Curator

photojournalist James Murray to help select from the original images and work with me on the exhibit,” she says, noting the paper’s editorial staff won a Webster Award for coverage of the fire. “His eye is perfect

– he’s been editing me and I’ve been editing him. I don’t usually get that opportunity,” she says, noting images in the exhibit are only those taken by Murray. Chapman laments the fact that the original award-winning, front-page photo of a helicopter hovering over Mt. Ida has gone missing. Gone too are original drawings by cartoonist Bob Muirhead, a vital piece of fire memorabilia that Chapman says went missing at his funeral. Other contributors to the story were municipal governments and staff, the Ministry of Forests, Rapattack, the Army (Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry and 1 Combat Engineer Regiment), RCMP, area fire departments as well as volunteer firefighters from around B.C., Provincial Emergency Preparedness (PEP), members of the Shuswap Amateur Radio Club, Shuswap and Vernon Search and Rescue, Red Cross, Salvation Army and Mennonite Disaster Service, as well as many individuals. “I wanted an exhibit that people could connect to; this was different for me because it was recent, still raw for people, so I had to be sensitive,” she says. “Anyone who didn’t

I had lots of unanswered phone calls.” Chapman found satisfaction in being able to create a link with earlier history, going back to 1894 when Salmon Arm was ravaged by both fire and flood. “Whatever wasn’t on fire was underwater,” observed resident Maude Turner in a story that appeared in a Kamloops newspaper. “There was hardly anything about it here,”

Chapman says, noting the wealth of information collected during and after 1998 wildfire. Chapman hopes to get funding from Virtual Museums Canada to put “Flight From the Flames” online. Another connection Haney Heritage Village has to the fire is the Queest Tower, now located in the village. Former fire watcher Pam Oxley saw the fire ignite from the tower then located near Sicamous and knew immediately it was going to be a problem wild-

fire, says Chapman. While this year’s Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre production is called Fire Watch, Chapman says it is not about the 1998 fire, something that remains too raw for a number of people. The story, with a humorous tone, is set in 1958, the worst fire season on record in B.C. Opening night is July 3, with shows every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evening in July and August and a special matinee perfor-

playing at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue

mance on Thursday, Aug. 22. A home-cooked dinner is served at 6 p.m. from Marjorie’s Tea Room. Dessert follows the play with homemade rhubarb crisp and ice cream. Reservations are a must. Tickets are $24 for adults, $21 for seniors and $14 for children under 13. For more information, call 250-832-5243. R.J. Haney Heritage Village is located at 751 Hwy 97B next to the Salmon Arm Camping Resort.

Young dancer wins place in Winnipeg Ballet summer school By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Not many children are looking ahead to possible careers at the age of 11. But that’s exactly what talented Aria IzikDzurko is planning as she gets ready to spend a month studying with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. The Just For Kicks student not only passed the recent Royal Academy of Dance ballet exams in Kelowna, she auditioned and was accepted into Winnipeg Ballet’s elite summer ballet program. “I’m excited to have this experience; not that many people get to go to Winnipeg,” said the self-possessed youngster Monday. “I want to learn what it’s like to be

a ballerina.” Four or five when she started dancing, Aria has taken lessons in jazz, tap and more. But it was ballet that captured her young heart. Aria says one of the main attractions is the classical music most ballets feature, music she says that makes her happy. The young dancer is also drawn to the challenge of ballet – to see how much she can push herself to become stronger and more flexible. “I think getting to meet kids that are like me, that love ballet and are really into working hard to get good at it,” Aria says in response to what excites her the most about going to Winnipeg.

“None of my friends really like it that much.” Aria began dancing with Just For Kicks when she was about six, says her mother, Patricia. She recalls how early on, teacher Sonja Woods pulled her aside to tell her she saw potential in Aria. When Izik-Dzurko and her husband David were unable to get away from their teaching jobs at Salmon Arm Secondary, it was Woods who took Aria to the Kelowna audition, leaving at 6 one morning last fall. As to how the young dancer will be, away from her family for a month, Izik-Dzurko describes her daughter as “pretty independent.” “Our attitude with this is what an amazing opportunity to learn ballet from some of the

It’s jazz with pizzazz Get your groove on with the Afro-Cuban rhythms of Babalu. Presented by the Jazz Club, the concert takes place at 7 p.m. at the SAGA Public Art Gallery, Thursday, June 27. Listen to the distinctive notes of merengue, salsa, bossa nova, samba, mambo, rhumba, sometimes mixed in with straight-ahead, hard-driving swing. Many of the selections are by well-known Latin American writers such as Sergio Mendez, Tito Puente and Chucho Valdes. Babalu also arranges and plays jazz standards in the Afro-Cuban style. “The band does not really have a leader, we work things out together in rehearsal,” says flute and soprano sax player

Sandy Cameron. “The amazingly complicated rhythmic styles of the music are accomplished by all five players, with inspiration and help coming from the bass player, Arianne Charon, who is Cuban.” Cameron has been the driving force behind the Salmon Arm Jazz Club for the past couple of years, helping to organize two concerts each month. From Hamilton, Ont, Dick studied with Bob Shiels, Lorne Lofsky, and Pat Collins. His musical interests include modern jazz, improvisation and composition. Dick is a member of the popular Salmon Armenians and is currently composing for his own band, Thick as Thieves. Born and raised in

Cuba, Charon came to Canada in 2004 and soon became involved in the Toronto Latin music scene. She has an impressive list of past projects and bands, including D’talle, a well-known Cuban allfemale band. She has performed in festivals across Canada and teaches dance, specializing in the Cuban tradition of salsa. Adding percussion to Babalu is Jeremy Tymkiw, who has studied Cuban rhythm styles for several years. Although Afro-Cuban/Brazilian music is his favourite, Tymkiw adds the flavour of the drums to other groups, such as Bender, Blue

BOPPRE, JAY OCTOBER 31, 1953 –JUNE 14, 2013 Jay Boppre, aka J-Bird, a Shuswap Lake local legend, flew the coop early on Friday June 14, 2013.

Thank you to, Dora MacQuarrie, Mark and Angie Lagore, the staff at Overlander, Ponderosa, and Polsen extended care facilities and the Kamloops hospice staff for their kind support and hard work taking care of Jay.

SANDERS, JERRI MAE NOVEMBER 17, 1951 - JUNE 14, 2013 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, sister and aunt, Jerri Mae (Potts) Sanders on June 14, 2013. Jerri fought a short and courageous battle with cancer and passed away with her two sons and daughterin-law by her side. She was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan before moving to Alberta to meet her husband and start a family. When she wasn’t raising her two boys, she was working as a nurse at the Fort Saskatchewan Hospital. For the final chapter of her life, she moved to Salmon Arm, BC with her husband where they spent their final years together in the Shuswap. Jerri was predeceased by her loving husband and soulmate Rick and her parents Frederick and Shirley Potts. She leaves behind her sons Patrick (Jessica) and James, her sister Jan Elliot, her brother Randie Potts, loving nieces, nephews, and many close friends. Her laughter and smile will live long in the hearts of those who knew her. The family will be having a private celebration of her life in Vancouver where she will join her husband. We would like to thank the staff at Bastion Place for the wonderful care they provided to our mother. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129. EMAIL condolences and share memories through Jerri’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

The multiplier effect

Last month we wrote about the impact of buying an apple from BC compared to buying an apple grown in and sent from California. This is called the Multiplier Effect...

he multiplier effect is the amount of local economic activity that is triggered

by the purchase of any one item. Community economics tells us that the more a dollar circu-

lates in a defined region, and the faster it circulates, the more income, wealth and jobs it cre-

ates. Hence the example of the BC apple supply chain. An important distinction to be made

is that between locallyowned, entrepreneurial businesses, and publicly-traded corporations. When we refer here to locally-owned businesses we do not mean agri-food corporations whose profits are distributed to shareholders in the global market, but those whose profits remain in the region. This argument is meant neither to negate the importance of jobs created by importing in

BC nor the competitive advantage and ability of other countries to grow certain products that BC cannot. Certainly, British Columbians enjoy their morning coffee and the availability of strawberries year-round. But it is redundant trade – the importing of products readily available locally – that we should reconsider in light of the multiplier effect. There are many stud-

ies that show the impressive potential multiplier effect of buying local across Canada and the US. Though highly dependent on the locale and commodity in question, the baseline that is commonly referred to is that buying local food has a multiplier effect of 1.4-2.6 throughout the wider local economy. Though the numbers seem small, the impact is huge. ■
