Man dies in grow-op explosion

Crashes injure two

motorcycles: Men hurt in separate collisions on the same day.

Fatality: Gleneden site was licensed to grow pot for medicinal purposes.

A man who was seriously burned in an explosion at a legal marijuana grow operation in Gleneden has died. david Allen Kingsbury, 45, died in hospital Friday, the day after the Thursday evening explosion. He was from the lower Mainland, but most recently had been staying in Salmon Arm. At approximately 8:30 p.m. on July 4, RcMP, the Salmon Arm Fire department and Bc Ambulance responded to a report of a possible explosion at an address on 50th Street nW. upon investigation, RcMP determined this was a legal, fully-licensed marijuana growing operation Legal or not, grow taking place at the site, operations are and that the explosion high-risk appeared to be the result occupancies. of a malfunction with a piece of machinery. “There was nothing criminal about this, as it was a legal grow,” says Brad Shirley RcMP Sgt. carlos TetSalmon arm tolowski. “As such, that Fire ChieF makes this more of an industrial work accident.” Tettolowski said the man was “gravely injured” in the explosion and was transported to hospital. The Salmon Arm Fire department called out crews from Halls #3 and #4 to the possible explosion, but when they arrived there was no fire. “On arrival, we discovered a shop which showed signs of a fire consistent with some type of explosion, but there was nothing actually burning when we got on-scene. There was one male occupant who had severe burns to a major part of his body,” said Salmon Arm Fire chief Brad Shirley. “The shop contained a very sophisticated grow operation that was licensed to grow marijuana for medicinal pur-

Two motorcyclists were seriously injured in separate crashes, one taking place Saturday afternoon and the other in the early evening. At 1 p.m. on July 6, police responded to a collision at the intersection of the Trans-canada Highway and Balmoral Road. A pickup truck failed to yield to a motorcycle travelling eastbound on the highway. The 49-year-old motorcyclist from lee creek was airlifted to Royal Inland hospital in Kamloops with severe head and leg trauma. At last word he was in critical condition. Then at 7 p.m. that same night, in almost identical circumstances to the earlier incident, police responded to a vehicle collision at the intersection of the Transcanada Highway and 30th Street ne near the Mcdonald’s Restaurant. A pickup truck failed to yield to a motorcycle travelling westbound on Highway 1 and struck the motorcycle broadside.

Incident under investigation Continued from front poses.” Shirley says the fire department’s investigation is ongoing, and the cause has yet to be determined. The fire chief says this incident demonstrates why the federal government is taking initiatives that will see all “legal residential” grow operations cease operations by April 1, 2014, instead moving

towards commercialtype operations. “Legal or not, grow operations are high risk occupancies,” says Shirley. “There are no fire inspections required for residential grow-op properties, and most grow-op related incidents fire departments attend haven’t had gas or electrical permits or inspections. Because of this they continue to pose a risk to occupants, firefighters and other

first responders.” Statistical data indicates that of the 30,000 legal marijuana grow operation licences in Canada, 10,000 of them are in B.C. “So safe in saying, we look forward to seeing change.” Shirley adds. The BC Coroners Service, RCMP, the BC Safety Authority and WorkSafe BC continue to investigate this incident.

Farmers challenged by heavy rain, heat By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Heavy rains followed by high temperatures have perpetuated what most farmers are used to – ups and downs. While recent weather has been tough on some crops for some fruit growers, it’s also been a boon for others. For Andy Kemitzis at Sandy Acres Farm near the Salmon Arm Airport, all the rain meant a loss of 1,800 pounds of strawberries. At an average of about $3 per pound, “that’s my taxes,” he says. However, the strawberries were three weeks earlier this year, “so the losses we made, we covered with the earlier season.” Last year his strawberries were ready June 25, this year June 5. And the rain hasn’t hurt other crops. “I think the rain benefited other fruits,” he says. “The raspberry bushes, they’re quite a bit taller than last year…” Kemitzis grows about 20,000 pounds of strawberries, so the loss to rain was about 10 per cent. He also grows blackberries, blueberries, loganberries and cherries. Because those types of berries are not ready yet, they weren’t really affected, he says. This seems to be a good season for bees, he adds, as he’s seen a lot more pollinating the raspberry bushes. At Peterson Bros on 35th Street NE in Salmon Arm, they don’t grow berries to sell so cherries are their next crop. Alf Peterson says the cherries are going to be bigger this year, and few have split. “I think we’re okay…

I think it’s been a little tough on the berry growers.” At Eagle River Organics in Sicamous, Linda Kucera says the rain meant some spoilage in strawberries as they’re the first to ripen. “The rest was a little bit slow, but now that we’ve had the heat, everything is coming right back up where it should be. There doesn’t seem to be a problem right now as long as the hot weather doesn’t last too long; otherwise we’ll have bolting in some stuff.” Her farm grows strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and grapes. “So far so good,” she says. At Bastion Mountain Farm, which sells u-pick cherries, Bonnie Peterson says the rain has meant the fruit is ripening later, some has split, and there may be mould with some of the varieties that grow in clusters. She said the fruit is normally ready for picking on July 7 but, the last three years, picking has started after the 15th. Overall, things could be much worse. She notes that for some cherry growers to the south, because their fruit is about two weeks ahead, their cherry crop was wiped out by hail in June. Dick Mann at Highland Farm on 30th Street NE also mentions the ripening date of cherries has been getting later – now about the second week in July. While the rain can cause splitting in cherries, the blackberries love it, he says. He grows a lot of garlic, which is planted in the fall. In the spring,

when the weather starts to warm up, it begins to grow. “I’ve noticed it’s maturing earlier in the season. It’s gone from middle of August to earlier in July… It has pushed it ahead about two weeks.” This year he has been pleased to see an abundance of wild bees, which don’t seem to have been affected by the rain. “We do need the pollinators.” At Pedro Gonzales Fruit and Garden, co-owner Greg Ruth said crops in general are good, just a lighter yield. “Less fruit but bigger size, with lots of sugar content because of the sunshine,” he says. The crops hit hardest by the rain were the strawberries and a few field crops such as radishes. “The pears will be a little slower, there’s a little damage to the potatoes – in general, it’s not too bad.” Corn, however, is thriving. “Our corn is just amazing,” Ruth says. “It’s up to our chest in height already… The rain is bad for some stuff and awesome for others.” At DeMille’s Farm Market, Brad DeMille says some crop volumes are down, particularly apples and apricots. “You may see some higher prices on those fruits due to supply.” Andy Kemitzis sums up the ongoing reality for farmers by saying, “What can you do? Every year we have something wrong with the weather. If it’s not the berries, it’s the cherries. Last year we had trouble with the cherries.”

Berry bad: Due to the heavy rains at the end of June, farmer Andy Kemitzis lost approximately 1,800 pounds of his strawberry crop, but his other cherry and berry crops are growing nicely. JaMes Murray/OBSERVER

Triumph at RoboCup World win: Team takes top programming award. By Jessica Klymchuk OBSERVER STAFF

Some kids play sports, some play instruments, some do both and some study artificial intelligence and build dancing robots. Shuswap Middle School students Aiken Webster and Mathew Carson, both 11, and Len Wood Middle School student Madison Smith, 12, recently earned international recognition for their robotics when they competed at RoboCup 2013 in Eindhoven, Netherlands June 24 to July 1. “It was really intense but a lot of the teams were really nice,” said Webster, “and it was really neat meeting the other people and finding out about their robots and what programs they were using.” Not only did the trio place in the top 10 in their category, they were named the top programmers – something Webster can only describe as “cool.” Each team had to participate in a technical interview with the judges and explain their program, which made up 50 per cent of their score. “Because programming is the aspect of robotics that I am best at, it feels good to be recognized for something that I am passionate about,” said Smith. The team, Pyromaniaardvarkz, won their spot in Eindhoven by placing first at the

Please be advised that written submissions received will be available to the public and the applicant. Please clearly write “Public Hearing Submission for Bylaw No. 701-74 and Bylaw No. 900-03” on the top of each page. Written submissions must be received in the Regional District’s office by 4:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time, Tuesday, July 16, 2013 or may be submitted at the public hearing. LOCATION AND DATE OF HEARING: The public hearing will be held on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, and will be held at the Blind Bay Community Hall, 2510 Blind Bay Road, Blind Bay, BC. PURPOSE OF BYLAW NO. 701-74: Bylaw No. 701-74 proposes to amend South Shuswap Zoning Bylaw No. 701 by exempting DL 6483 from the application of Floodplain Specifications, as contained within Section 3.18 of Bylaw No. 701.

Their Star Wars-themed performance for the dance category landed them on the fast track for international competition, and they ended up being the only Canadian team in their category. “We were just hoping not to get last,” Webster said of representing Canada. “It was pretty cool knowing we were in the top 10.” Team mentor Kim Webster, said the kids were completely on their own since coaches were not allowed on the arena floor. They had to register for practices and interviews, and perform all on their own. “They did really well at that and we were re-

ally proud of them,” Webster said. “They proved to us that they were quite ready to grow up.” Webster said there were parts of the competition that blind-sided them and they had to adapt to unexpected rules and additions. The Super Team Challenge was one. It combined different teams and gave them six hours to come up with a new routine, as a group. Pyromaniaardvarkz was paired with China and Slovenia. Aiken Webster said they learned a lot culture-wise and China was using a program they didn’t know, so they had an opportunity to learn something new. Their category also included kids up to 15 years old, instead of 14

at the Western Canada RoboCup. “One thing we learned was the amazing effect that pressure can have on a person,” said Smith. “We were, in my opinion, at least twice as productive at the competition as we were at home.” Smith also found it overwhelming to adapt to new customs during the competition and they were forced to work outside their comfort zone, their “bubble” as she describes it. But they gained a lot of experience and learned from the people around them. “Somehow though, through all of this we managed to find time to get to know the other teams, learn about their robots and laugh amongst ourselves.”

Docks to be pulled from Shuswap, Mara lakes Approximately 50 derelict, abandoned docks will be removed from the Salmon Arm section of Shuswap Lake and from Mara Lake this month. These structures can create safety issues for boaters, impede public access along the shore-

line and reduce the esthetic values along the waterfront. “The removal of abandoned, derelict docks is a win-win idea. Nobody wants to see these abandoned docks creating hazards to navigation and downgrading the esthetics

of beautiful Shuswap Lake, so removing them is a big benefit to everyone,” said Paul Demenok, Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process Steering Committee (SLIPP) chair, and Area C director for the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

“It’s also important to note that this is the only dock removal program involving SLIPP. The provincial government is behind the semi-waterfront docks initiative, which has absolutely nothing to do with SLIPP.” Derelict and aban-

doned dock removal is part of the SLIPP shoreline restoration program. SLIPP member agencies have committed resources toward assessing potential abandoned docks to provide information on location, condition, potential

ownership, and other information. Docks that are in poor repair, deemed to be of little or no value and with no claim of ownership, are being removed and disposed of with no further notice. Funding for the derelict, abandoned dock re-

moval project is shared between the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund, SLIPP funds, Old Town Bay court award funds, and the province of B.C.

consideration of Detached secondary suites in salmon Arm The urban residential policies of the City’s new Official Community Plan (OCP) place a strong emphasis on infilling, densification, housing diversity and affordability, while acknowledging that new secondary suites can help achieve these goals. The City is researching opportunities to promote new forms of secondary suites in Salmon Arm, sometimes referred to as carriage, coach or laneway houses. The City’s current policies and land use regulations allow for consideration of conventional secondary suites (i.e. basement, lower or upper suites that are part of the main dwelling), subject to rezoning and compliance with the BC Building Code. The City is contemplating new OCP policies and land use regulations to permit standalone secondary suites in the urban residential areas that are detached from the main dwelling and is seeking feedback from the public. The City will be holding a Public Open House from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on July 15, 2013 in Room 100 at City Hall. Background information and an online survey are also available on the City’s website at www. salmonarm.ca for those who wish to provide feedback.

The songs of summer In the summertime, when the weather is high...You can stretch right up, and touch the sky... ––– Mungo Jerry In The Summertime was the biggest hit for British rock group Mungo Jerry (lead singer Ray Dorset, not anybody named Jerry), and for most music fans, it’s instantly recognizable. For a number of people, I discovered, it’s also their quintessential summer song. Isn’t that a common denominator we all share about summer? It’s our season of play, our season of being hot and staying cool. And don’t we all have that one song that reminds us of so many good times with friends, family, summer romances, summer barbecues, summer fun? I posed the question to my friends on Facebook, asking them what’s their quintessential summertime song and why. The responses were tremendous and varied. Five people chose Mungo Jerry’s 1970 hit In the Summertime. Sandy in Salmon Arm calls it “the best summertime song ever. Minus the ‘have a drink, have a drive’ lyric of course. Love the mutton-chops (on singer Ray Dorset).” Four friends selected Don Henley’s Boys of Summer, including Kim on Middleton Mountain, who replied: “I had Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses (still have ‘em) - ‘ I can see you... your brown skin shinin’ in the sun...’ He was singing to me then and he’s been singing it to me ever since.” Four people also picked Summer in the City by The Lovin’ Spoonful, including Lisa from Kelowna who wrote, “Because they don’t make songs like that anymore.” Four chose Bryan Adams’ Canadian classic Summer of ‘69, including Collin from Invermere: “Summer of 69, the year I was born. Reminds me of family reunions in Armstrong and camping at Mabel Lake and at Granny’s cabin by the rock jetty on the Shuswap River.” My 13-year-old son said he doesn’t really have a summertime favourite song, “But my friends listen to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ Can’t Hold Us.” For me, the quintessential summer song does, in fact, come from a singer named Gerry: Baker Street, by the late Gerry Rafferty. Every time I hear the opening to the song, and by the time the great saxophone solo hits before Rafferty sings the opening lines “Winding your way down on Baker Street…Light in your head and dead on your feet,” the volume in my car or my phone gets cranked, and I am immediately transported back to the summer of 1978. That was a summer where I spent nearly every day riding my bike along Okanagan and 25th Avenues to my aunt and uncle’s house on Okanagan Lake, hanging out with my cousin Geoff, Jackie and Jayne, the neighbour sisters, and Maureen from down the road, waterskiing, snorkeling, cannonballs off the pier, drinking Pop Shoppe pop (24 different flavours), roasting marshmallows, listening to the hits like Baker Street on CJIB. It was how summer is meant to be enjoyed. With friends, family, loving the hot weather and cooling off in the lake. And the opening bars from one great tune take me there every single time.

Marijuana plan needs illumination It’s obvious the federal government isn’t worried about communication. It was in June that Health Canada announced new policies regarding medicinal marijuana and that plants would no longer be grown in residential settings. Instead, industrialization of the process will take place. However, local authorities still don’t know what implications the new policy will have on them and their responsibilities for land use and ensuring buildings meet code. And during a conference call with other local and provincial jurisdictions Thursday, it was clear municipalities and regional districts are unsure of their role. The concerns are valid as these large-scale operations have the potential to be unlike any-

thing local authorities have had to approve before. It’s anticipated they will be concrete or brick to ensure security and will follow different designs than a barn. For areas outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve, communities will have to determine if industrial zoning is in place. Many issues that have arisen with residential marijuana-grow sites will continue as well, including odour from chemicals and the potential fire risk. With 2014 just around the corner and Ottawa bent on implementing its new rules, now is the time for the federal government to sit down with local authorities and discuss what its expectations are. After all, it will be local communities dealing with any fallout. -Vernon Morning Star

The Observer asked: Does the noise of boats and Sea-Doos on the lake bother you?

Duncan Morris “Yes ... but I can also appreciate the economic boost they bring to the community.”

Jason Bellows “No. What bothers me more is the lack of courtesy on the part of some boaters and Sea-Dooers have towards anglers or people in smaller boats.”

Ralph Groenink “No. It’s just part of people having fun and enjoying the Shuswap.”

Teri Richards “No. It’s all part of summer at the lake.”

Linda Sturgeon “Boats no, Sea-Doos yes.”

There’s no escaping the Young runner’s tenacity upcoming BC Hydro hikes earns admiration of peers BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – There’s a new sheriff in town for BC Hydro, and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume. The new sheriff, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines. His saddlebags bulge with reports on BC Hydro’s seemingly runaway costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s “core review” to cut $50 million a year from government operations. NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest BC Hydro troubles in his assault on the B.C. Liberal budget. First there was a $140 million cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line, under construction north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of Iskut and adjacent mine properties. Then BC Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake preparedness. “Condition red” was the key message. Basically, the sprawling utility has disaster plans for each of its dams or other power facilities, but no overall way to get the provincial power grid back up after a major earthquake. Horgan recited his list of BC Hydro sins after a decade of meddling by the BC Liberals: huge deferred debt revealed by the auditor general, enormous liabilities for private power contracts, and more rate increases that Bennett has already admitted are on the way. And now they can’t even keep us safe from the big one. Bennett fired back. About $2 billion of that debt is for seismic upgrades for the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam in Maple Ridge, and the equally frail John Hart Dam on the Campbell River, built with wooden water pipes. Major BC Hydro works slowed down after completion of Revelstoke and Mica dams in the 1980s, and now the work is more expensive.

The Northwest Transmission Line is a partnership with Imperial Metals, which wants to power its Red Chris copper-goldsilver mine. Bennett said the company is not only paying for the last section to Iskut and the mine site, but pitching in for the main line as well. Ottawa paid $130 million to get remote communities off decades of dependence on diesel generators. AltaGas, owner of one of those private power projects in the region, puts in $180 million to get connected to the grid. The line will open up more mining and hydro possibilities. The cost overrun traces back mainly to the shortage of high-skilled labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces. And this is before natural gas pipelines and LNG plants gear up. Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put BC Hydro through the wringer in 2011. Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt. What’s ahead for rates? The utility is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, BC Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion. Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as BC Hydro’s lone “shareholder.” The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

I have been running for many years now and every once in a while someone comes along that really catches your eye. But it takes a keen eye to catch this particular athlete because she only stands half as high as her fellow competitors. But where her stride may not be as rangy as the average, her grit and determination by far separate her from the norm. And what makes Chantel Jeffrey so unique is that she is only 11 years old. Now on Canada Day, while most of her friends and classmates were probably still asleep in bed, Chantel was making her way to Peachland to run the

10km Beach Run that morning. And if 10 kilometres isn’t a daunting enough task for an 11-year-old, she also had to deal with stifling temperatures that reached +28C before the race had even began. I know for myself that running this race in the heat was absolutely brutal, in fact, it was downright nasty. So upon completing the race, I made my way back onto the course to cheer on the rest of the finishers. And then lo and behold I ran into Chantel and she looked past exhaustion, you could tell she pushed herself to her limit and there wasn’t much left in her tank. So with a half-kilometre left,

I had the honour of running alongside of her. I knew she was running on fumes but as we got within the last hundred metres Chantel’s true colors came out. She started sprinting, and passing people, and she ran her little heart off all the way to the finish line like a seasoned pro. I hope that Chantel is aware there are many of us, that admire her so much, that she has proven to us that her big heart and determination more than compensates for her smaller stature. Congratulations Chantel, you definitely deserve it. Hans Aabye

Now’s the time to talk climate change I am amazed that our mayor could complain about environmentalists saying “I told you so” over the Alberta floods because there is a disaster in progress. We have been urging action precisely because we foresaw that a disaster loomed and we were concerned for the fate of mankind and life on earth. Global warming threatens the survival of almost everything. The energy sector and climate science deniers have used every trick in the book to block and derail any and all opposition to their policy of “The environment be damned. Full speed ahead. Profligate development at all costs.” We were attacked as being “dangerous foreign

-funded radicals.” Now the future is here, and it is going to get worse. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet! The dangerous foreignfunded radicals have been revealed as not in the environmental movement but as their opponents, led by no less than the current federal and provincial governments, who still refuse to admit that they were wrong and continue to use taxpayer dollars to fund massive ad campaigns promoting pipelines and exploitation of fossil fuels. The premier of Alberta talks only of clean-up and rebuilding. If we say nothing now, over the next 10 years, as more and worse floods and droughts destroy our world, we will hear over and over

again the following: “Nobody could have foreseen this so close to the last 1,000-year flood.” “It wasn’t on the radar. Who knew?” “We had the very best advice.” They will also continue to build and sell developments on low-lying, flood-prone areas, and to produce CO2 as if there were no tomorrow. If allowed to do so, there won’t be. Considering all that is at stake, it would be irresponsible to remain silent. If we can’t talk about global warming during a disaster, we soon won’t be able to talk about it, or be heard, at all. Richard Smiley

Missing man found dead After being missing for six days, the body of Lyle Martin was located by RCMP on July 7, in the wooded area near the Eskai Road near Fort Nelson. Martin, 61, from the Neskonlith Indian Band, went to the Fort Nelson area to join a mushroom picking camp. He was dropped off by a friend on July 1 and had made arrangements to get picked up by 5 p.m. later that day, but he never returned. At 11:55 a.m. on July 7, Martin’s body was located by an RCMP helicopter pilot and RCMP service dog and handler team, who were searching an area approximately one kilometre from where the missing man’s mushroom baskets and backpack were found. A cause of death has not yet been determined.

Over-watering damages graves

www.saobserver.net A11

Mt. Ida Cemetery: Sprinklers left on all day, city investigating.

By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

City staff are still trying to determine the cause of over-irrigation at a section of Salmon Arm’s Mt. Ida Cemetery that caused more than 20 gravesides to sink as much as three and four feet deep last week. The issue was reported Wednesday evening, when Debbie Idzan went to visit the grave of her son Tomas on what would have been his birthday. Initially Idzan arrived at the cemetery at 9:30 in the morning, but noticed the sprinklers were turned on, so she was unable to get the gravesite. “I thought nothing of it, just that I would have to come back later to put out my flowers,” she said. But, to her horror, when she returned at 7 p.m., the water was still spraying and she could see

Repair work: After they were alerted to the damage, the city repaired the grave sites, some of which were filled with water and had slumped between three and four feet down. the significant sinkage at the gravesites from the saturated ground. “It just looks so sad, so disrespectful somehow, all these slumped graves,” she said. “I know people make mistakes, but this is not just some field, this is a place of respect.” Concerned that the water might be left on all night and do further damage, Idzan called the city.

Rob Hein, the city’s manager of roads and parks, says they are still trying to find out what happened. He says the system was being manually operated at the time. “Whether it is human error, some malfunction or someone maliciously went in there, we are trying to piece that together, but I think it would be a bit far-fetched to have

someone do this deliberately,” said Hein. “I am having discussions with the contractor about this.” While the cemetery often has issues with graves settling in the springtime due to underground water sources, the addition of so much surface water created a significant problem. Crews worked quickly to repair the

damage, which pleased Idzan. “I was totally impressed at the speed and quality of the repair work. You can see they took care and real effort in trying to fix things up,” she says. Hein does not have an estimate on what the repairs will cost.

And he’s safe

Salmon Arm Pee Wee A All Star player Jake Crandlemire crosses the home plate before the throw during the first game of a doubleheader played against Vernon on Saturday at Elk’s Park. The first game was a 21-16 loss for Salmon Arm, with Vernon also winning the second match-up by a score of 15-11.

TeD United had the homefield advantage versus the vernon Goplin Drillers in a particularly sweltering Tuesday night game at the Little Mountain sports Fields. United tried to keep to their game plan of passing and possession which quickly paid off. Ten minutes into the game, TeD’s newest recruit Kim buker, made a brilliant run down the right field with a perfect cross over Drillers defenders and goalie, and onto Kyla sherman’s awaiting foot, to open up the scoring for United. sue Doray was a force on the left wing after stripping Drillers defenders of the ball and finishing with a top corner shot. Just before the end of the first half, TeD United’s Krista Yonker put her team up by three with an aggressively-won header from a well-taken corner by Doray. The second half showed a slower-paced game, with both teams starting to feel the effects of the heat. Drillers found themselves in United’s end periodically, but was met with TeD’s speedy and aggressive defense. The final goal of the game came from Doray who went on a breakaway after receiving a through-ball from Tricia Martin. Doray showed great finesse in calmly placing it bottom corner past the Drillers goal tender. 4-0 for United.

Trail rider outdistances competition By Jessica Klymchuk observer sTAFF

A local trail rider is hitting her stride this summer. Diane Prinsen excelled at her first two competitions and doesn’t plan on slowing down any time soon. she placed first in a competitive trail ride in Lumby, and fifth in a 50-mile endurance ride in summerland. Prinsen has been taking part in competitive trail rides for five years and broke into endurance riding three years ago. she says she enjoys the challenge and the longer ride, adding that it’s nice to see what your horse can accomplish. “You still have to pace yourself but it’s faster,” she said. “Your horse has to be conditioned quite a bit better to have a faster pace and it’s longer distance.” The sport is dominated by Arabian horses, but Diane rides a foundation-bred quarter horse, who she calls her “four wheel drive.” “He seems to do

quite well at it,” Prinsen said. Arabian horses tend to have good heart rate recovery for trail rides based on their muscle mass. Prinsen said her horse is more muscular so it takes longer for his heart rate to slow down, but they still do well.

“He has quite a bit of ‘go’ and I like that,” she said. “He’s a really sure-footed horse too.” Prinsen trains on several trails around the shuswap including south Canoe, Larch Hills and skimikin. she also owns brookside stables where she has an outdoor arena

and an indoor arena for training in the winter. “A lot of it is being out on the trails and going to new areas,” she said. “And you make a lot of new friends. It’s a competition that doesn’t feel like a show where you’re really competing. It’s more relaxed.”

DJ scratches out festival invitation Having rocked the bar many times, 2013 Roots & Blues performer DJ Skratch Bastid is now ready to raise it. The Bastid has become one of Canada’s most indemand DJs and respected producers, but don’t think it happened overnight. From his humble beginnings a decade ago as a teenager in Halifax – pumping out mixtapes from his bedroom and earning a loyal following already back then – he slowly spread his skills first at DJ competitions like DMC, ITF and Scribble Jam, and now around Canada and the world as a widely recognized go-to guy for party-rocking. The illest redhead on turntables has since gone viral. The Bastid’s new collaborative five-track EP collection, The Spring Up, marks a moment in time for pairing Skratch Bastid and Canadian hip hop artist Shad. Embodying the spirit of spring, it features a production assist from DJ Jazzy Jeff and a turn on the mic from compatriot Cadence Weapon. “We had a lot of fun in the studio making these songs and we hope that you enjoy listening to them,” he says. Since he is increasingly recognized for his comfort and versatility in different styles – hip hop, funk, disco, rock, club and just about every other genre that will make you dance – more and more people are getting hip to his style. That’s what keeps this

Bastid working so hard. Touring city-to-city with a relentless drive, he’s wowed crowds from coast to coast in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean and all over Europe as he averages close to 200 shows a year. For Skratch Bastid, all that energy is brought back to the studio and heard in his music. As a producer, he takes that experience from the stage and lays it down on hard-hitting original music with a wide range of sounds. The formula earned him a Juno Nomination as Producer of the Year for his work on Buck 65’s Situation album. You can hear his own music often elevate his live sets along with yesterday and today’s best. In the past year, the young lad landed in Toronto, after five fruitful years as a Montreal resident, bringing new flavor to the city and making his first mark with a big bang. His new “Skratch Bastid Presents” quarterly event, kicked off with a blockbuster collaboration including DJ Starting from Scratch and world-renowned beatboxer Scratch, formerly from the Roots. “If the next decade is anything like the previous one, you’ll be hearing a lot more about Skratch Bastid,” says Roots and Blues marketing director Scott Crocker. “As he continues to find new fans worldwide, his catalogue of sounds, styles and tricks will leave a lasting impression.”

Teen jam gives birth to band

www.saobserver.net B7

By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Some bands struggle to find an audience, but after only three days of being together as a band, this group already had their first gig, playing at Friday’s Lunchbox Stage at the Ross Street Plaza. Their band name reflects the way they came together — Accidentally on Purpose. The four band members, Maddie Genn, 16, Kameron Kriese, 15, Keara Muir, 15 and Dominik Wilkie, 14, came together as part of Roxy Roth’s Teen Jam, a summer program for the teens to rock out and try their hand at a host of different instruments. “The name? Well, it was by accident,” said Muir with the others joining in on the laughter.

JamEs murray/OBSERVER

Early stage: Accidentally on Purpose band members Madeline Genn, Keara Muir, Dominik Wilkie and Kameron Kriese perform on stage July 5. Despite not knowing each other beforehand, let alone having played together, the band seemed to gel after such a short time and took on the challenge of a public performance. The band members all have had some mu-

sical training, but each of them also took on the challenge of playing an unfamiliar instrument, from drums to keyboard to electric guitar. The band performed three cover songs, School’s Out, Born to be Wild and their en-

core, Crazy Train. “There was some cramming,” Genn admits, “But it’s been really fun.” And the teens are hoping Accidentally on Purpose can continue to make some music. “It would be cool to keep it up,” Muir said.

Fine food, musical fare Friday Country, folk, and Canadiana songstress Sarah Jane Scouten will be appearing at Blue Canoe Bakery and Café on Friday, July 12. Scouten is on a tour of the west in support of her debut album Magpie Waltz. This will be her only public appearance in Salmon Arm. Scouten has a respect for musical tradition but adds her own flare. Her early influence was Willie P. Bennett and she draws inspiration from Hank Williams and Stan Rogers. This evening at Blue Canoe will offer music and a meal hosted by owner Al Boucher. There will be three meal selections from

Tour stops here: Canadian songstress Sarah Jane Scouten brings her classic country tradition to the Blue Canoe Bakery and Café Friday evening. their special menu and a selection of local wine and beer will be available.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets at $10 are available at the Blue

Canoe Bakery and Café, or call 250-8030011. The cost of dinner is extra.

Spirit of Christmas in summer fundraiser The joy of Christmas giving is coming early this year. The Salvation Army Food Bank is hosting Christmas in July on Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. at Marine Park. Everyone is encouraged to bring non-perishable items or they

can donate into the kettles. “It’s going to be like a family fun day,” said David Byers, Salvation Army community care co-ordinator. “It’s just going to be an absolute fun day.” Entertainment at the Marine Park Ga-

zebo will include Abe Zacharias, Sons of the Hayride, Christine Day, The Good News Quartet and more. Activities for the kids will include Girl Guidehosted carnival games, face painting and large inflatables provided by the Shuswap Commu-

nity Church. The Lions Club will have their concession cart on-site, with all the proceeds going to the Salvation Army Food Bank. Also, don’t forget to visit the Salvation Army thrift store for Christmas specials.

Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19): Consider where you stand in regards to your family ties and your past. Deeply rooted emotional upsets make you feel unsettled. You may need to sacrifice something in order to gain more psychological security. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your relationship with a sibling might have not been healthy for a while. How affected are you because of this unfruitful relationship? Can you afford to detach yourself from a pending issue for the sake of a more fulfilling bond? Listen to your intuition. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Finding the perfect level of comfort and security may not be obvious to you at times. This week’s pattern will offer you the chance to assess your values in a more caring manner. You may need to detach yourself from something or someone that is holding you back. CANCER (June 21-July 22): This is your week for emotional cleaning. Tap into your gut instinct and see what needs to be cut from you so that you can obtain the freedom to breath with more ease. Take a radical self-care of your necessities. What could balance your moods? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Detoxify your body from harmful energy and sooth your soul with love and care. Get in touch with yourself and see what is keeping you stuck from reaching inner peace. You may need to forgive yourself or someone dear to you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This week harbours you the opportunity to strive for goals and dreams that are in alignment with your most genuine intentions.

If you are not travelling, great healing energy and nurture can be derived from simple contacts with water. Swimming or just refreshing your feet in a water fountain can give you such awesome relief! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your own fears or hidden insecurities may be draining quite heavily on you and not allowing you to progress. In order to find that inner bliss and that sense of relief you ought to release that negative force that may be harming your psyche. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your primal relationships. Are you committed to someone that gives you an equal and fair amount of love and care? If there is discordance, this will remind you that you cannot afford to neglect your own needs any longer. It’s time to act. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Attempts to improve your lifestyle and rid yourself of unhealthy habits will remind you about your spiritual health. Once you have attained the equilibrium of your mental and physical states, you have accepted to nurture yourself with new seeds of prosperity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Tap into your inner child and seek ways to heal an open wound. Once you have found the solution, you will be able to feel in sync with your genuine self.

STAHLBERG, KUNO 1933 - 2013 It is with extremely saddened hearts that we announce the death of our dear husband, father, opa and great opa Kuno Stahlberg on July 4, 2013 at the age of 80 years. Kuno was born on March 29, 1933 in Arzies Besserabia to Rudolf and Lydia (nee Lang) Stahlberg. After being pre-deceased by both parents, Kuno immigrated to Canada on October 19, 1951 with his uncle George and Aunt Emma Krause and cousins Emil (Frieda) and Anna where he worked as a cabinet maker in various areas in Alberta. In 1959 Kuno was hired by Bird Construction in Inuvik, NWT. In 1965 he met his lifelong love and companion, Minnie Kalinek where they had two children. Kuno moved his family to Salmon Arm in 1983 where he enjoyed the Shuswap seasons and the sharing of kind words and often humorous stories with people within the community. Kuno always said since he couldn’t bring a souvenir from the north, he brought a little eskimo instead. Kuno enjoyed family gatherings, playing cards and setting up his stall in Enderby and Falkland. Kuno is survived by his loving wife Minnie, daughter Eunice (Rob) son Rudy (pre-deceased 1988) his three grandchildren Misty, Cody and Kiefer and his great-grandson Rylan. No service will be held per Kuno’s request. A graveside gathering of family members will be held at the Mt Ida Cemetery with his cremated remains. The family of Kuno Stahlberg would like to thank Dr. Bonthuys and all the nurses at SLGH and KGH that cared for Kuno until his passing and for the kind words, flowers and food from extended family members and friends. Your kindness will never be forgotten. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.

FRANKLIN, MICHAEL Sept. 3, 1947 - July 5, 2013 Michael B. Franklin of Sunnybrae, Tappen, died at home in the early hours of July 5, 2013. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Linda, and his children: Melissa (m Jamie Treleaven), Zoë (m Todd Stevens), and Jayme (Ava Franklin) and his beautiful grandchildren Lily, Finn, Kieran, Cassia, Camille and Sawyer as well as his brothers John and Richard and their families in England. Within days of returning home this April from another winter of sailing in the Caribbean with friends and family, Michael was diagnosed with stage four Glioblastoma multiform. To know Michael is to know that he was born in an armoured car during a riot in Dehli, India in 1947. This explains a lot about Michael’s character. He was full of enthusiasm for life, exuberant and generous. He was a teaser, a social gatherer and always on the go. He loved his work and considered the day a success if he could leave smiles and laughs in his wake. Michael immigrated to Canada at the age of 19 after working for Lloyds of London. He was at various times: a Commercial Aviation Insurance Broker and a pilot; a stay-at-home dad; a house builder; a Registered Waste Water Practitioner; a businessman, with Franklin and Co Excavating; a Board Member of Caravan Farm Theatre; and a firefighter. He treasured the camaraderie of the team at the Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department with whom he served for 15 years. He loved sailing, both here in the summer and in the much loved Caribbean Islands in the winters. He liked to quote Rat from The Wind in the Willows, and often said “there is nothing…absolutely nothing…half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” Above all, he loved his family and worked hard all his life to provide for them, encouraging them all in their endeavors to be the best that they could be. He will be remembered as “larger than life” with an open, honest and generous heart. A wake will be held at a later date, for family and friends to celebrate Michael’s life. Arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129.

Post-partum support group forced to shut down By Jessica Klymchuk OBSERVER STAFF

Mothers struggling with post-partum depression now have one less place to turn. The Shuswap Family Resource Centre’s Mother’s Journey Prenatal and Postnatal Support Group has been cancelled, much to the centre’s regret. The group ran for ten months, ending March 31. Executive director Patti Thurston said they ran it hoping they would get the appropriate funding. “We keep hearing from the doctors and the local people how important this group is,” said Thurston. Trish Johnson, who works in the Pregnancy Outreach program, was trained through the Pacific Postpartum Support Society to facilitate the group which had a waiting list within the first two weeks. Without the group, case-loads are building up as there

“You can really see the amount of people that are suffering with anxieties and depressions,” said Johnson. “It’s difficult for them to get the support as soon as they need it.”

Thurston said group facilitation is effective, offering mothers not only education and support, but also a night out with child care. The group ran on a 25-week cycle and mothers could

join or leave at any point. Education was the key focus, including self-awareness and coping mechanisms. “Just to be able to talk to other women, and feel like you are nor-

mal, there’s nothing odd about you, you’re not strange, you aren’t going crazy…” said Johnson. “That normalcy is huge.” Mother’s Journey is one of three under-

funded programs at the Shuswap Family Resource Centre. Thurston hopes to be able to run the program in the fall but says they are desperate for funding at this point.

Johnson is grateful for the support the group received this past year from Columbia Shuswap Regional District, Salmar Community Association and the Deo Lutheran Church.

Johnson says it’s a lot of work for them and outside sources. Mothers may wait weeks to see someone, which Johnson says is a long time for someone who is suffering from depression. “About half of the referrals I’ve received in the past month have been based on depression,” said Johnson. “Now these women aren’t being supported as well as they could be. They need this group.” Johnson sees between 35 to 55 families a month as an outreach worker and says she can see the impact and the needs of the community.
