Man charged as accessory

Murder: Salmon Arm resident accused in connection with Tyler Myers death.

By Tracy Hughes OBSeRVeR STAFF

A man who has been accused of obstruction of justice in relation to the murder of 22-year-old Tyler Myers has now also been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder. Myers, who was 22 at the time of his death, was found in the yard of Bastion elementary School on nov. 21, 2008 where he died of a gunshot wound. Justin James doussept, 22, of Salmon Arm had the additional charge added in June and appeared in court in Salmon Arm on July 9 for an arraignment hearing. court records indicate the offence is alleged to have taken place March 8, 2009. The obstruction of justice charge is alleged to have occurred in november, 2012. While doussept’s name was originally withheld by police, he has now been charged as an adult, so his identity is not protected under a Youth criminal Justice Act publication ban. doussept’s next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 6.

In addition, the young woman accused of the first-degree murder in the case has recently been released on bail. On november 5, 2012, a 20-yearold male and a 21-year-old female were arrested and charged with firstdegree murder for Myers’ murder. The pair were under the age of 18 at the time of the offence and, as such, their names cannot be published. crown counsel Bill Hilderman confirmed the woman is awaiting trial in the community under several court-ordered conditions, similar to a house arrest. Among other restrictions, the woman must live at a specific residence and abide by curfew regulations. The man who is also facing firstdegree murder charges remains in custody at this time. His initial attempt at obtaining bail was denied. The preliminary inquiry for the pair of young people accused in the first-degree murder of Tyler Myers has been set for Oct. 15 in the Salmon Arm courthouse. A preliminary hearing allows a judge to determine whether there is sufficient evidence for the case to proceed to trial.

Changes planned will include: expanding the parking lot to the north; removing drainage swales and landscaping in the centre of the existing parking lot; and relocating the maple trees along the northern edge of the parking lot. A ‘no-build’ covenant registered on the lot will be triggered by the parking lot expan-

sion, so frontage works and services for the east half of 25 Street NE must be completed. Also, a traffic study may be required. Planning staff report that while they have some concerns with the loss of the two drainage swales with their trees and shrubs, overall “the design of the two main buildings along with surrounding site, landscaping and plazas are and will be first class when completed.”

BC Parks helps blaze trails By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Things are looking up and out for Debra McDonald. With a $7,200 grant from BC Parks in the offing, Salmon Arm will soon be getting its first TrailRider, a specially designed wilderness access vehicle that will allow the former forester and outdoors enthusiast to access her beloved trails. McDonald, whose mobility is severely limited by MS, has campaigned steadily for a TrailRider so she and others with limited mobility can access the great outdoors. McDonald credits The Shuswap Trail Alliance for helping her in her quest. An equally excited trail alliance co-ordinator Phil McIntyre-Paul believes success in getting the funding for one TrailRider and a couple of

harnesses will segue into three in the community by next summer. “We have a really strong working relationship with BC Parks,” he says, noting the funds meet the ministry’s requirement as a regionally significant project that increases access to the province’s parks. “They’ve been one of the big regional partners working together on the Shuswap Trails initiative.” McIntyre-Paul says the TrailRider is very well designed and can easily access Shuswap trails, including the Enderby Cliffs. The goal is to raise $21,000 plus an additional $9,200 in in-kind support to purchase three TrialRiders and all the equipment and storage container to run a successful and safe signout program. The Shuswap Trail Alliance is supporting the effort by managing dona-

Individual donations are in excess of $1,000 and McDonald is working on several other possibilities. “I am so excited and very thankful for having partnered with the alliance. They really helped to make this possible,” says McDonald. “And BC Parks has really stepped up to make

the parks accessible to people with mobility issues. They’re trying to include a demographic that really wasn’t included in the parks and that’s a big step forward.” Donations can be made by mailing a cheque (marked for the TrailRider) to the Shuswap Trail Alliance, PO Box 1531, V1E 4P6 or call 250-832-0102.

Drug arrest A man was arrested on drug charges on 10th Avenue NE, after plain clothes officers observed a drug transaction between the male and another person on July 12, at approximately 6:45 p.m. The suspect, a 29 year old resident of Salmon Arm was in possession of over eight grams of MDMA, also known as ecstacy, two scales and cash. The investigation is ongoing.

Suicide threat At 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 9, police received a report that a distraught male was planning to commit suicide by driving into oncoming traffic. Police intercepted the man and took him to hospital for a mental heath assessment.

Mail target Salmon Arm RCMP received a report that several mail boxes at Highland Drive and the Trans-Canada Highway had been broken into some time overnight on July 11. A saw appears to have been used to cut into the mail boxes, which were heavily damaged. It is unknown what was stolen from the box. Police are appealing to the public for information on the offence.

Driver charged On July 13, Salmon Arm RCMP attended a minor hit-and-run accident on 17th Street SE. Police suspected the driver of the vehicle that struck a parked vehicle was impaired by alcohol. The 53-yearold male resident of Salmon Arm, was issued a ticket for no driver’s licence and is to appear in court for impaired driving.

City supports trail improvements By lachlan labere OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm council has approved $50,000 in new projects related to the city’s greenways strategy. In partnership with the Shuswap Trail Alliance, city staff put together a list of projects to improve city trails and connectors. These include five capital projects totalling $38,000, and six maintenance projects at $12,000. The capital projects include: $5,000 towards lower trail sign

layout and installation for South Canoe; a through-connector trail and signage in the Pileated Woods; a loop south connector and signage at Gleneden Gayle Creek; rock landing installation and signage at the Raven connector; and the Okanagan College connector for the Turner Creek trail. Major maintenance projects include: replacing the Little Mountain trail sign; trail bushing and tread repair along Turner Creek; tread upgrades and stair repair for the Cress Creek Trail;

stair replacement for Park Hill East; a city-wide trail sign inventory and replacement plan; and a temporary outhouse facility for the South Canoe trails. Regarding the latter, a pilot project that will involve placing a portable outhouse, Coun. Chad Eliason asked if there is a plan for a permanent outhouse or something to dispense water that cyclists could access. Public works director Rob Nieuwenhuizen said the city is considering a permanent outhouse and water tap in the future.

for what it’S worth

Tracy Hughes

We could all be that parent The other day I lost my car. This is not a simple thing to do, as it is a silver mini van that weighs oh, about 4,000 pounds, but I managed it. And this wasn’t a case of parking it in a different row. This was me, walking down to the parking lot and standing there dumbfounded with no van in sight. My adrenalin was pumping, my heart was racing, and I thought seriously about phoning the police to report it stolen. I was in the process of grabbing my cell phone to call the RCMP when I remembered – I hadn’t parked in my usual location because I had run an errand at lunch and managed to luck into a parking spot closer to my office. My point is that sometimes, people can forget even the biggest things. I bring this up, after spending some time reading about the horrific situation recently where two children, in separate instances, were found dead in overheated vehicles. As a parent, I can not think of anything worse. As a recent Washington Post story explained, there is no consistent profile of people who have left children in cars to die. It happens to the absentminded but also to task-oriented type A personalities. It happens to the wealthy and it happens to the poor. It could happen to me. The situation with my van is a prime example. “Memory is a machine, and it is not flawless. Our conscious mind prioritizes things by importance, but on a cellular level, our memory does not. If you’re capable of forgetting your cellphone, you are potentially capable of forgetting your child,” David Diamond, a professor of molecular physiology at the University of South Florida, told the Washington Post. What really got me, however, was the reaction of some people on news websites as they publicly castigated the parents and caregivers in some of the foulest language possible. They called for lifetime jail sentences and a number of people even suggested leaving them to die in scorching temperatures would be the appropriate punishment. The incredibly harsh judgments shocked me – yes, some cases might involve true neglect, but most often this situation happens to loving, caring parents whose only explanation was that they simply forgot. Who among us has not done things on autopilot only to realize that wasn’t really what we were supposed to be doing? What parents can do is make a habit of looking in the vehicle – front and back – before locking the door and walking away. If this habit becomes your “autopilot” there’s much less chance of tragedy. The Canadian Safety Council also suggests parents should also do things to remind themselves that their child is in the vehicle, such as putting items such as briefcases, coats or purses in the back, or sticking a note on your dashboard as a reminder. The answer is that this could happen to anyone. We just need to try to be aware and to avoid autopilot when it matters most.

Editorial

Flood hazards at the forefront Given the situation of many of our southern Alberta neighbours, it is not surprising Salmon Arm city council will be taking another look at whether to push forward plans for flood hazard assessments of the Salmon River floodplain. No doubt many communities in Canada will take a more critical look at building in flood zones. Already, criticism is being voiced that not enough attention was paid to the recommendations in a report following Alberta’s 2005 flood. One key recommendation was keeping up-todate information on flood zones, as well as a restricting building development on flood-risk areas. The report stated that undeveloped flood plains are the natural and most effective form of flood mitigation possible.

The city previously designated a flood hazard assessment plan as a medium-range priority, which means a five-to-six-year wait before it would be scheduled. A suggestion this be moved forward into the short-term priorities was defeated at budget time, but it may be returning to the table. Clearly, the sight of thousands of Albertan homes filled with water and debris, not to mention the huge cost involved with disaster relief for the thousands of displaced, is sparking a renewed interest in flood mitigation measures. Prevention is clearly a less-expensive option than disaster relief or restoration, should a severe flooding event take place. It seems wise for local politicians to take a good, hard look at these priorities. Just ask an Albertan.

The Observer asked: What’s your favourite summer song?

Correne Busby “Mercy... The beat reminds me of some of the older songs. It’s nice...”

Josiah Taschuk “There’s An Arc by Hey Rosetta. It fits, it suits the season.”

Matt Giroux “Jon and Roy’s, To the Beach, just because you get down from the mountain and you go to the beach!”

Dagmar Gallant “Boys of Summer. It takes me back to when I was a lot younger.”

Garfield Chursky “I’m going to go with the good old, In the Summertime, by Mungo Jerry because it reminds me of my youth.”

Plenty of empty seats for Cash counts in elections the latest political theatre BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in WestsideKelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets. The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so ingrained in our education system that it seems inescapable.

One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago. The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our politicalmedia theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do. What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

Earlier this year the BC Liberals snatched victory from the jawing pollsters’ predications of imminent defeat. No one in Canada is happier about the results than our prime minister. Much like Christy Clark, Stephen Harper has defiantly driven down the right-hand side of our bumpy political highway. And both love to blow their own trumpets about balancing the budget –

sometime soon. There’s an old saying that money can’t buy you happiness, but Premier Clark proved once again that money can buy elections. For ego-driven politicians, winning is impure ecstasy. Although humiliated by the recent events swirling around the Senate, Stephen Harper will soon have his old swagger back. He knows his corporate friends will refill the Conservative party’s campaign war

chests long before the next federal election. By then his ad agencies, the best money can buy, will have the voters’ confidence in that annoying charismatic upstart who now leads the Liberals, spinning like a weather vane in a category-five hurricane. If you were to ask Mister Harper about his government’s future prospects, he’d likely reply, “No worries mate.” Lloyd Atkins

Fee hikes equate to tax increase Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). Yes, the BC Hydro rate increase tsunami is coming after the earthquake of B.C. government debt. This will hit lower income

people – hard. All levels of government are increasing fees and service rates rather than raise income taxes on those who can contribute more and pay more property tax. I don’t want to see any

drastic action to increase job loss, but governments at all levels need to limit their spending growth to the level of inflation and get borrowing under control. Phil Harrison

Time for B.C. to end electric car subsidies Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time. A large part of the future BC Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates. However, the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases which will cause rate increases for us all. Provincial consumption is also high because, al-

though the E-Plus contracts with residential customers expired decades ago, the government is choosing to grandfather the “half-price electric heat” offer for political reasons. Also, some large government buildings are still being heated this way. At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it and ship it overseas. Should the

first step not be to switch to natural gas-powered cars, natural gas heating for almost all homes where possible, and for all large government buildings? The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move. Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is where our “last watt” comes from. Rein Nienaber

Archives

1913

Good progress was being made in the erection of the new CPR station. Brayden and Johnston had the contract for providing the lumber. A CPR gang worked to lay heavier steel for the new main line. The residents of Canoe were pleased to know that the new wharf was to become a live fact instead of a far-off dream. Plans and specifications could be seen by calling at the Canoe post office.

1923

Gladys Foster, a pupil of Silver Creek School, was awarded the silver medal in a provincial competition during national forest protection week for her essay entitled, “Our forests and why we should protect them from fire.” The S.A.F.E Ltd. advertised grocery specials for the week: bacon, 35 cents per pound; Coho salmon, 15 cents for half-pound tin; bread 10 cents a loaf.

1933

A discussion took place at city council on Monday night over a resolution sent to them by the police commission which stated that the retail sale of cider within the city limits is detrimental to the best interests of the citizens, and suggested steps be taken to prohibit its sale except through the liquor vendor.

1943

Statistics were released showing the sales of war savings stamps at the post office for the 12-month period ending July 31, 1943. These revealed that the residents of this district purchased war savings stamps at the rate of $245 per month, or a total of $2,940 for the year. In a letter to his parents, Capt. Sydney Thompson, who was wounded in Sicily, states that the shot which disabled him just missed his thigh bone and the large blood vessel. He was evacuated to the mainland where he was treated with the new drug penicillin.

It’s a compassionate cover-up. Quilter Joyce Young has taken over a program that provides quilts to palliative care and chemo patients at Shuswap Lake General Hospital. Young, who assumed responsibility for the caring project in May 2012, delivered several quilts to patient care co-ordinator Barb Bare in June. Bare, who is thrilled Young has taken on the project, remembers with fondness the woman who initiated the program more than a decade ago. In 2011, then 76-year-old Georgina Lamanes spoke to the Observer about the palliative care quilt project she began in 1998. Battling cancer since 1997, Lamanes’ husband was admitted to the hospital in June 2000, succumbing to the disease in September that year. During the two months he was in hospital, Lamanes and her daughter remained with him in the large palliative care room then located on the second floor. “We used to take him out in a wheelchair and all they had to cover the patients were flannel sheets,” she said in a 2011 interview. “In the meantime, I had become friends with Barbara Bare and I went to see her after my husband died to ask her if she would like some quilts.” A member of the quilters guild, Lamanes organized a smaller group of women to make the palliative care quilts. “That definitely helped me heal,” she said. “It just would keep me busy, and knowing other people are getting help and some love that we pass on.” It was that spirit of love that fostered a close friendship between Lamanes and Bare. “She was such a gentle lady and I always looked forward to Georgina limping along with her suitcase full of quilts,” says Bare, who misses the caring woman who died in 2011. “It was always a lovely thing to see her face and all the hard work the ladies did – it was heartwarming.” As a nurse, Bare says giving a quilt to someone when they have nothing else to

Unique waterfowl: Recent counts of the Western Grebe indicate a rise in numbers from earlier in the year. Salmon Arm Bay is one of the few nesting sites in B.C. for the birds.

Shuswap Rowing & Paddling (SARP)

Grebes flourish in the bay By Jessica Klymchuk OBSERVER STAFF

The Western Grebes have come out with the sun, it seems. Naturalists Ed and Monica Dahl found a substantial increase in the number of birds on their last count. With the Shuswap Naturalists and the Salmon Arm Bay Nature Enhancement Society, the Dahls do weekly counts of the western grebes. On the June 30 count they found 16 young grebes and 165 adults. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was surprising because a little less than two weeks ago we did another count and found no young ones and only about

50 adults,â&#x20AC;? said Ed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we came back to so many it was quite a revelation.â&#x20AC;? Ed said the counts arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very accurate because often the birds are hidden in the tall grasses, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t usually see such drastic variations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really encouraging because it really looked as the summer was progressing that the western grebes had either moved away or were hiding because the counts got lower every week.â&#x20AC;? Ed said they counted 300 Grebes in the spring and a decrease of 100 or so isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual because many will migrate farther. But this summer the

decrease stop until now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the numbers drop and keep dropping every week and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about none to be found it makes you wonder whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they start popping out with their young ones itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real relief.â&#x20AC;?

As in previous years, another 50 or 60 young ones could be revealed as summer progresses, The counts in the fall are usually higher than the spring because of the increase in young grebes. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring count was typical, said Ed.

PUBLIC NOTICE

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sensible Policing Actâ&#x20AC;? proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Drinks can sabotage healthy habits Serena Caner Summer has arrived and for many people it is the perfect time to enjoy a cold beverage. What could be better than rewarding yourself with a frosty beer after mowing the lawn? Or an icy margarita on a sunny patio? One common question I get asked is if alcohol can be part of a healthy lifestyle. The answer depends mostly on how much you drink. Current guidelines recommend no more than one drink daily for women and two for men. Unfortunately, these drinks cannot be banked (i.e. if you didn’t drink Monday to Friday, it is not healthy to have six beers on Saturday.) Furthermore, a “drink” is not how much you can pour in a glass, but a is equal to a 12-ounce regular beer (5 per cent alcohol), 1.5-ounces of hard liquor (40 per cent alcohol) or five ounces

of wine (12 per cent alcohol). For people with diabetes, drinking excess alcohol blocks the liver’s ability to produce glucose. This does not mean it should be used as treatment for diabetes, but that people using insulin or insulin secretagogues (such as Glyburide, gliclazide, diamicron) are at risk for hypoglycemia. Because symptoms of hypoglycemia can be similar to drunkenness, both you and other people may not be aware that you are going low, and a dangerous situation may ensue. Another issue with alcohol is that it is not very helpful for weight management. Not only does it provide extra, nonnutritive calories, but liberalizes your appetite and affects judgment.

ning to r a k e a L y ka

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

If learning something new makes the brain happy, mine must be thrilled. Seduced by serene water scenes posted on Facebook by friends last summer, I opted to join the kayak crowd. In my youth, I spent many happy hours in and on the water, making sport of rolling kayaks. But that was more than 40 years ago. My centre of gravity has since shifted and the litheness of youth is long gone. True to my astrological sign, Pisces, I am a water baby, so I bought a kayak and signed up for a lesson with the Shuswap Association of Rowing and Paddling (SARP). On arrival at the Canoe Beach boat launch two weeks ago, thoughts of serene paddling evaporated, replaced by butterflies dancing Gangnam Style in my belly. The wind was up and so was the chop. Using gear supplied by SARP, I approached my designated kayak with some trepidation. With able instructor Neil Trouton holding my kayak steady, I plopped in, which prompted my life-jacket to move “earward.” Like a turtle in a nylon shell, I paddled out to where Trouton stood waist deep to perform my first roll in almost half a century, it being important to know what it’s like to exit – and, in deeper water, to learn how to get back in. I had volunteered to go first, based on my belief that waiting at the end of the line only gives fear room to grow. Once dunked, I began to feel much more comfortable – well, sort of. Rolls accomplished, Trouton demonstrated fundamental paddle strokes while my classmates and I drifted rapidly east toward the Canoe Mill. “Let’s paddle back,” said Trouton many times over.

He was a prime example of that message as he was never the top scorer or the guy that was heralded but the player who had to sacrifice everything every night to show he deserved to be there. “Not many guys worked harder than he did and to top it off he was rewarded with a Stanley Cup ring. We are excited for him to be joining the SilverBacks,.” Godard will join the SilverBacks in time for the team’s 2013 Main Camp, which begins Monday, August 19 at the Shaw Centre.

On July 9, Ted United was once again in Vernon, this time versus Vernon’s Rosters. Ted played a strong game with great ball movement that resulted in a two-goal lead by halftime. In the second half Kyla Sherman was able to score her third of the game which was quickly followed by a splendid shot from Liz Mair on the top of the 18-yard box to put United up by four. Rosters rallied and fought hard, which resulted in a goal for them in the dying minutes of play to finish the game at 4-1 for United. Ted United has a match-ups at Little Mountain this week – July 18 versus Merlot.

Young and older to hone paddling skills Continued from A15 Although not required, out in the deep I accepted the invitation to exit my kayak for the sole purpose of getting back in. Using a nylon stirrup made entry easy – once I got my foot in the sling. I am extremely buoyant and

had a hard time getting my foot up without the rest of me bobbing up as well. By this time, I was feeling much more comfortable, if not confident. At 7:30 p.m., 30 minutes after the class was meant to end, I and three other women paddled to shore, with Trouton inviting us

to paddle for another half-hour, at least. A generous offer, but one which none of us had the energy to accept. We arrived on shore rubber-legged and with heavy, drooping arms. The class and camaraderie were excellent, as was the support offered by two SARP members, who

were on hand to dole out the equipment and encouragement. My own kayak was christened on Saturday, with three happy hours of family paddling at the eastern end of a very placid White Lake. For a few zen-like moments, my arms were in synch and I sailed effortlessly

along – until I realized what I was doing and broke the spell. As I said to my grandson, who was frustrated with his first efforts to row his dingy, “We’re in the same boat here; we both have to practise in order to get better.” And we will, but only on calm days. At least to begin with.

A local pickleball player played her way to the podium recently. Champs gathered in Abbotsford July 6 for the Pickleball Canada National Open Championships, where Salmon Arm’s Shirley Knorr won a silver medal in 55+ ladies doubles. She and her partner, Diane Gillis from Kamloops, had only practised together once but made a good team nonetheless. The two won four of their six games to take silver. They have competed against each other in smaller local tournaments throughout the year. “We paired up very well,” said Knorr. “She

was an awesome person to play with.” Knorr only started playing pickleball in September after learning it was a popular choice for tennis lovers. She is a tennis player herself and decided to take up the new sport. Pickleball is a combination of ping-pong, tennis and badminton and is touted as one of the fastest growing sports in North America. This was Knorr’s first major tournament, which drew players from Florida and Alaska as well as from across Canada. “It was exciting,” she said. “I didn’t know what to expect at first but your nerves calm down as the day goes on.”

Good times: A Tribe Called Red plays a variety of music ranging from hip-hop, dance hall, electronica and their own mashup of club and pow wow music.

Band brings electric powwow to Roots & Blues B

ursting forth from Canada’s capital, First Nations Producer/DJ crew A Tribe Called Red is making an impact on the global electronic scene with a truly unique sound. Made up of three members, DJ NDN (Ian Campeau), Bear Witness (Thomas Ehren Ramon) and DJ Shub (Dan General), the group has created a distinctive style, a mix of traditional powwow vocals and drumming with cutting-edge electronic music. The group began in 2008 when DJ NDN, noticing that there were dance nights in Ottawa for every culture except his own, teamed up with Bear Witness to create a monthly dance party, the Electric Pow Wow, that quickly started drawing aboriginals searching for a place in Ottawa’s nightlife scene. “We just wanted to have a party,” says DJ NDN, “But soon, there were people from rural communities – reserves that were super-isolated up north -–who were coming

to Ottawa for school and never felt comfortable going out.” In 2010 they added two-time Canadian DMC Champ, DJ Shub to the crew, completing a signature sound made up of a wide variety of musical styles ranging from hiphop, dance hall, electronica, and their own mash-up of club and pow wow music. The trio quickly garnered a local following – not just urban First Nations teens, but also dubstep fans drawn to the group’s eclectic mix of beats. Working to reclaim the stereotypical aboriginal image, DJ Bear Witness doubles as the

crew’s visual artist and creates stunning, political and sometimes humorous videos that incorporate film and pop culture references to First Nations people. “I was raised in a hardcore activist environment,” Witness says. “My mom is seriously political and was part of the American Indian Movement in the ’70s. But by the time I was in my late teens, I was burnt out. I felt like I was banging my head against a wall. I said, ‘Forget this, I just want to party and forget about all this stuff I’ve had to deal with my whole life. I became a full-on raver kid for years, and that’s how I

playing at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue

got into DJing. Somewhere along the way, though, I started to realize that you could do both. You can get people when their backs are down. You get people when they’re not looking for or expecting a fight. You get them when they’re having a good time.” The message must be getting through. A Tribe Called Red’s new album Nation II Nation entered the !earshot Canadian college charts with a bullet and now sits at number two. The album has also been shortlisted for this year’s prestigious Polaris Prize. The band continues to use its high profile to bring global attention to the Idle No More movement and the aboriginal political struggle in general. As NDN has said, “... After what happened in the last hundred years, the simple fact that we are here today is a political statement. As First Nations People, everything we do is political.”

Singing for his supper By Jessica Klymchuk OBSERVER STAFF

Shannon Lyon’s voice is said to haunt like a heavy, misty fog and leave you singing his songs for days. “When I hear Shannon, I hear the rhythms of the Midnight Cowboy, the harmonies of an earth-bound angel, the acoustic guitar that knows the pain of a heart, the steel guitar that stirs the lonely and restless lovers,” said Bob Egan, who has played for Wilco and Blue Rodeo. Lyon is embarking on his first lengthy tour since the mid-1990s, Salmon Arm being one of his 24 stops. He brings his quirky 15song set to the Shuswap Pie Company July 25. Since 1994, Lyon has released 10 studio albums. Over the years he has shared the stage with artists such as Lucinda Williams, Richard Buckner, Jay Farrar, Ray LaMontagne, Blue Rodeo and Bruce Cockburn. “There’s always something to learn,” Lyon said of working with other artists. “I just take notes and answer to the song. I have a lot of questions and very few answers. Keep the heart open.” He says his ultimate

We’re More Than Just Print.

Acoustic appearance: Shannon Lyon

brings his haunting melodies to the Shuswap Pie Company July 25. song-writing hero is Neil Young. Although he hasn’t met Young, he feels privileged to have met some of his heroes. Lyon’s latest album Broken Things was recorded under the Canadian roots label Busted Flat Records, which has released five of his albums. Recorded in Holland and released last year, Broken Things, is stripped down and raw. Billboard magazine describes the album as “meticulously crafted songs that rely largely on his talent for words and melody ... Untainted and Pure!” Lyon returns to Canadian venues after spending 12 years in Europe. He moved to

Holland in 2000, living and touring in Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. “It was wonderful to be pulled into magic lands that I hadn’t been to,” said Lyon. “The touring was just very exotic and very fresh and very new. There’s no limits to it, especially in being creative. You can be the king and the queen in the same song.” He says he has fallen in love with Canada all over again after deciding it was time to come home. He spends his summers travelling and the winters in cabins where his studio is his solace. He has been working with his small recording studio for

years, which has been packed up and shipped around the world with him. When he’s not releasing his own music, Lyon is producing the work of other singersongwriters. “The studio is a whole different world for me,” he said. “I love that part of what I do. I love working with other songwriters.” Most recently, he has been mixing and producing albums for Jamie Clark and James Gray. “I chase my songs and help other songwriters chase their songs and carry records across the finish line,” said Lyon. He will come with his acoustic guitar, harmonica and notebook of songs on July 25, drawing music from almost every record. He says he will be performing some songs he wrote almost 18 years ago. “I’m in love with songs and melodies. It’s my life,” said Lyon. “As a young man I got it in my blood and I haven’t turned my back on the muse, I keep chasing it. As long as I can sing for my supper I generally sing my sorrow. There’s a lot of love out there. It’s good to be home.”

With the motto “Dig the Diversity,” the gates to this year’s Salmon Arm Fair will open Friday, Sept. 6. The popular homegrown event has continued to evolve for more than a century. The first Salmon Arm Fair was held in 1897 and has been a Salmon Arm attraction annually since 1946. There have been many individual event additions, deletions and changes over the years, but the core has remained the same: the display and competition of agricultural products, domestic livestock, and home arts. The Salmon Arm Fair is the primary fundraiser for the Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake Agricultural Association (SASLAA), the non-profit society that operates, manages and maintains the fairgrounds and its buildings. Its purpose is to hold exhibitions, educational and fundraising activities to foster, promote and educate in the progress and development of agriculture, industry and commerce, domestic science and arts and crafts. To make participation in the fair even more accessible this year, registration for most divisions begins on Aug. 1 – except in the photography division. There are also a few changes within the division this year. The non-competitive class has been dropped. Ages 14 and under, Class 2 has changed from Pets to Animals – Domestic and Wild, focusing on just the animal, with no people showing in the photo. The same animals-only rule also applies in the new competitor Class 6. Animals with people photos can be entered in the open categories. The other change is the one-time exhibitor fee, which has increased to $13. This allows entry all three days of the fair. Each photo entered still costs 50 cents an entry. Three photos are allowed per class, to a maximum of 12 photos in total. There are special

Ticket purchasers must be a minimum of 19 years of age. Know your limit, play within it. BC Gaming #53232

The Devon Coyote Band plays to a large crowd at Wednesday on the Wharf July 10. Tonight’s featured act is Miss Quincy and the Showdown at 6:45 p.m. at Marine Park.

Film focuses on music scene The Roots and Blues Festival hosts “Cinema Under the Stars – A Celebration of Film & Music,” Saturday, July 20 at R.J. Haney Heritage Village. An evening of film and music in the great outdoors, this year’s event features the musical stylings of Herald Nix followed by a screening of Bruce Cockburn: Pacing The Cage, a fascinating documentary on this 2013 Roots & Blues headliner. Pacing the Cage follows Cockburn as he performs in sold-out shows, records his live Slice O’ Life CD, and participates in a series of benefit concerts. Cameras follow Cockburn to his home for a candid conversation about his views on everything from religion to parenthood. The documentary sheds new light on Cockburn’s spirituality and his thoughts on activism, politics, writing, and his amazing 40-plus years in the music industry. Also featured are never before seen, live performances of songs from his 40-years-andcounting catalogue of music. Pacing the Cage features appearances by: Cockburn’s long- time manager Bernie Finkelstein, Colin Linden, Michael Ondaatje,

Sarah Harmer, Lt. Gen Romeo Dallaire, Sylvia Tyson, Bono, Jackson Browne, theology Professor Brian J. Walsh, best-selling author William Young, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings and The Wailin’ Jennys. Herald Nix, the musical performer of the evening, has long been one of the most respected artists in the Canadian music scene.

Years before people started talking about ‘alt country,’ ‘Americana’ and other fashionable terms for certain flavours of music, Nix was writing and playing music that drew on very deep roots. He is also a celebrated visual artist and theatre composer. Cinema Under the Stars takes place at RJ Haney Heritage Village & Museum’s amphi-

theatre at 7:30 p.m. Nix performs at 8, followed by the film at 9. Tickets at $10 are limited. They are available at the gate, online at www.routesandblues.ca or by calling 250-833-4096. Visit the website to get the goods on other performers in the 21st Roots and Blues Festival that runs Aug. 16 to 18 at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds.

I HAVE A PLACE IN HEAVEN Please don’t sing sad songs for me, Forget your grief and fears, For I am in a perfect place, Away from pain and tears… I’m far away from hunger, And hurt and want and pride, I have a place in heaven With the Master at my side. My life on earth was very good, As earthly lives can go, But paradise is so much more Than anyone can know… My heart is filled with happiness, And sweet rejoicing too. To walk with God is perfect peace, A joy forever new. One year has passed and we miss you more than you will ever know… Looking forward to meeting up with you and everyone else someday. Love forever, Mom & Brian, Carly & Romi, Uncle Greg & Ava

JOHN STARCHUK It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Starchuk, born July 21, 1925 in Smokey Lake, Alberta. He passed away peacefully on June 26, 2013, with his two daughters at his side. He attended his schooling in Grand Forks and graduated in 1943. The day he turned 18 years, he went to Vancouver and joined the Army. After basic training he was shipped to England, then to Holland. He joined up for the Pacific and by the time he got back to Canada the war was over. With his gratuity money he took flying lessons. He got a job as a pilot for Mr. Sewers, who had a business in Saskachewan and got to do a lot of flying! He met his wife then and they were married in 1952. He went into logging as a faller and ended up retiring while living on Vancouver Island. After a few moves he came back to Grand Forks for a few years. Wanting to be close to his youngest daughter Valerie and his grandchildren Mitch and Amanda and great-grandson Lane he moved to Salmon Arm. Last year he spent a month at the cancer clinic in Kelowna, bravely beating cancer. He was predeceased by his parents Rose and Mike; sisters Elsie, Mary, Kaye, Doris and Vera; brothers Alex, Fred and Peter; his daughter Lila. Survived by his sisters Alice, Ollie, (Herb) and Lucille (Jim), daughters Heather and Valerie, grandchildren Lisette, Mitch (Joliesa), Brianna, Kristina (Ryan), Amanda (Scott), Zach; great grandchildren Raine, Lane and Patrick. Recent highlights of his life recently were going to the Fathers Day Airshow where he went up for a ride in a plane and the pilot letting him fly the plane; the graduation of his great grand-daughter Raine and going to the Seniors Center on Fridays for the day away program. Celebration of Life to be held at the Grand Forks Legion on his birthday July 21, 2013 at 2:00 p,m. Online condolences can be sent through John’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC.

SIKORA, RUDY (Rudolph Steve) We are sad to announce that the earthly journey of Rudy Sikora ended on July 7, 2013 at the age of 90 years. Rudy was born in Atwater, SK on January 9, 1923 to Steve and Ida (Nagy) Sikora. He grew up and helped on the family farm in Willowbrook, SK until 1947 when the family moved to Abbotsford, BC. Rudy had a talent for mechanics and held several jobs in the field -- first in Abbotsford, then Prince George and Dawson Creek, which is where he met Peggy Coutts. They were married in 1955. The young couple moved to Kemano and enjoyed 4 years of life in the company town. The first two of their children were born while living there. In 1959 Rudy and Peggy moved to Sorrento and became permanent Shuswap residents. Rudy built Sorrento Esso and operated the service station for several years, until he sold it to his cousin Arnold Nagy. After that the family, which had by then expanded to 6 children, lived in a house they built on Notch Hill Road and Rudy built a large shop where he continued to do mechanical and auto body repairs for several years. A move to Tappen occurred in 1981 with another large shop built to house his continuing projects. To quote a cousin, Rudy had “an ingenious ability to create something out of nothing.” Many will remember the travel trailer he built for family vacations, and then the motorhome and camperized van that followed. Rudy was one of the founding (charter) members of the Sorrento Lions Club and was active and dedicated for many years. He was instrumental in some of their major projects including expansion of the Sorrento Hall, the pit barbeques, parade and casino every August long weekend. One achievement of which he was most proud, was the building of the Sorrento Lions Manor senior’s complex, a project which he conceived and led through to completion. Rudy will be remembered for his quick wit, twinkling eyes and wonderful sense of humour. He truly loved striking up a conversation with anyone he met, and in very short time would often discover they had mutual friends or relatives. He had a passion for fishing, music, dancing, painting, and travel. He was interested in almost any topic and loved to watch or read about astronomy, space travel, and world geography. Rudy is survived by Peggy, his wife of 57 years, and his children; Karen, Marion (Eef), Evelyn (Greg), Donald (Sandra), Anne (Duane) and Doug; also by 6 grandchildren, one great-grandson, nieces, nephews and many, many relatives. He will be sadly missed but we know his parents, sister Edith, grandson Ryan, and many other departed souls were there with open arms to greet Rudy on his arrival. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff at Community Care, Bastion Place and Shuswap Lake General Hospital for the loving care that helped make Rudy’s last years and days as comfortable as possible. A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church (#60, 1st St SE, Salmon Arm) on Friday, July 19th at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Special Account # 899914 at Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union, a “Rudy Sikora Memorial Senior’s Fund”. Rudy would be very pleased to know that funds will be used for necessary supplies and equipment for needy and palliative seniors in the Shuswap area. Much love and appreciation goes out to all family and friends for their sympathies and support at this time. Cremation arrangements entrusted to FISCHER’S FUNERAL SERVICES & CREMATORIUM LTD., Salmon Arm, (250) 833-1129.
