Just so much going through my mind.” like the other members of the family, Ruth is anxious to get back to normal as soon as possible, noting with satisfaction that more and more people, including young folks, are developing an interest in locally-grown produce – something that encourages the family to grow and sell the best produce they can.

Alert issued over Gort’s cheese

Interior Health: Warning after E.Coli-caused illness detected.

By Barb Brouwer OBSeRVeR STAFF

An outbreak of e. coli in Interior Health has prompted the health authority and the Bc centre For disease control to issue a public alert to avoid consuming cheese from Gort’s Gouda cheese Farm.

This week Football season in Salmon Arm off to a flying start. See more on page A17. Loss turns into hope through supporting caregivers. See A8 for story.

One person has died and two other Interior Health residents are recovering from e. coli-caused illnesses. Of eight people in the province to have contracted e. coli recently, four have been confirmed to have the same e. coli 0157:H7 strain, and all said they had eaten cheese from Gort’s Gouda

cheese Farm. The illness was first reported in July, with the majority occurring at the end of August and beginning of September. “Three are IH residents and one of the three is the person who died,” said dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer for Interior Health.

“The IH resident who died had consumed Gort’s cheese and had a lab-confirmed case of e. coli 0157:H7, and that particular bacteria was a ‘finger-print match’ (with the other cases).” Parker said health officials are still trying to determine See Officials on page A2

Pedro’s will remain open until late fall. The family plans to have the business completely up and running by next spring.

Officials try to locate source Continued from front how much the E. coli contributed to the death. When the onset occurred in July, it was a cause for concern but, as an isolated case, did not ring alarm bells. The province gets a number of E. coli cases throughout the year and while they try to identify the source, people are sometimes unable to pinpoint the cause of the illness. It takes anywhere from two to four weeks from the time a person gets ill to get the bacteria fingerprinting done and matched. In terms of the outbreak linked to Gort’s, health officials saw a cluster developing only last week, said Parker. Neither Interior Health nor the BCCDC would confirm whether the person who died is young or old, male or female, only that they contracted the illness late in August.

Cheese varieties: A popular tourist draw, Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm has stopped selling its cheeses in the wake of E. Coli-caused illnesses thought to originate from one of the cheeses. Agency (CFIA) are working to determine which specific cheese is implicated in the outbreak. A CFIA inspector was on-site on the weekend and “strongly recommended” Gort’s stop the sale of all cheeses, which they did Saturday, Parker said. The CFIA was expected to issue a recall of Gort’s cheese or cheeses infected with E. coli late yesterday. In the meantime, Interior Health and the

BCCDC are advising people not to eat any cheese from Gort’s Gouda and to throw out any remaining cheese. Kathy and Gary Wikkerink have owned Gort’s Gouda Cheese Farm for six years and have six employees and 70 cows. The owners were not available for comment. Their product is distributed in most local grocery stores, some specialty stores in the Okanagan and in Vancouver.

Musician: Falls from his boat while fishing on Shuswap Lake. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Bluegrass musicians are expressing their sorrow following the death Sunday of accomplished banjo player Gene Bretecher of Sorrento. Bretecher was fishing on Shuswap Lake some 30 metres from shore when he fell out of his boat just before 1 p.m. Sept. 15. Bretecher’s wife, Linda, saw her husband fall into the water and called for help. A retired RCMP officer and former dive team member was on the scene in minutes and assisted in pulling the 74-year-old Bretecher from the water.

CPR was performed, and Emergency Health Services arrived on scene a short time later. But efforts to resuscitate Bretecher were unsuccessful.

Bretecher’s death has touched many in the music world. “I toured with him in a band for quite a number of years, in Canadian Whitewater, and he was just one of my favourite people in the world,” says popular bluegrass musician Chris Stevens, who shared fun travel adventures across the globe. “He was a consummate professional, a wonderful banjo player and flat-picking guitar player.” Bretecher taught a number of different courses at Sorrento Centre every summer for more than a decade and at a variety of oldtime fiddle camps. “It almost sounds so patent to say, but he

Someone had smashed the driver’s side window to access

the vehicle. While on scene, police received several other calls indicating that a male had been seen checking other vehicles. Police patrolled and located a suspect matching the description of the thief a short distance away. The suspect, a 34-year-old man, was found in possession of stolen property and

drugs on scene, was arrested and held in custody for court. The man was also found to be wanted on an outstanding warrant for arrest in B.C. and numerous non-returnable warrants from Atlantic Canada.

Government liquor store plans rile owner By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

A Sept. 16 announcement that a provincial website will give British Columbians an opportunity to express their opinions about the liquor industry has further fueled anger for a private liquor store owner. In a press release Monday, Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton said government has been hearing from industry and stakeholders about changes they would like made to B.C.’s liquor laws. Anton said the province is looking for “common-sense changes that balance consumer convenience and economic activity with public health and safety.” But common sense is not a word Hideaway Pub owner Gord Erickson applies to a government looking for opinons when, he says, it is working in direct competition with private liquor store owners. Erickson takes issue with the fact Salmon Arm’s provincial liquor store has moved closer to him and in a much more prominent location on the Trans-Canada Highway, and will feature many of the specialized features the government enthusiastically recommended private liquor store owners provide 10 years ago when it was announced the province was getting out of liquor sales. He says the government has broken its own rules by moving their liquor store closer than the one-kilometre

Eugene Casavant

distance required for private stores and is selling liquor at prices private owners cannot match. “The fact that government dictates our purchase price and can manipulate it to their advantage, basically they make it so we can’t compete with their stores by making our cost of sales much, much higher than theirs,” he says. “The fact that they are using this survey or test market to see what the people want is laughable.” Erickson is also angry the local government liquor store will be one of only seven in the province to feature walk-in coolers, something that has, until now, provided private liquor stores with a bit of an edge. When asked why the province would build such a specialized store in Salmon Arm, a small community already served by five private liquor stores, Parliamentary Secretary for Liquor Policy Reform, John Yap, said the pilot project is being introduced to stores that are either new or undergoing renovations, which made them ideal candidates for the new cold rooms. To Erickson, the bottom line is why the government is in competition with privately owned stores. “The fact remains, the rules for government are different than the rules for private sector in the same marketplace,” he says. “Tell me how that’s fair?” A call to Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo did not receive a response by press time.

OpiniOn

for what it’S worth

Tracy Hughes

Sharing Terry’s dream Phew, I did it. After coming out of the closet, so-to-speak, about my recent foray into running, I took my running shoes to the streets of Salmon Arm on Sunday for the Terry Fox Run. I started to run, somewhat clandestinely in the early morning or under cover of darkness, mostly because I didn’t want other people to see how slow I might be going or the look of anguish upon my furrowed brow as I huffed and puffed up just about any hill. My mantra became, “It doesn’t matter how fast you are going, you are still beating everyone who is sitting on the couch.” This past week I was feeling a bit discouraged because I caught the first of the back-to-school viruses from my children, and was feeling pretty congested and wondered what I had gotten myself into. Then, funnily enough, I was watching TV and saw a clip of Terry Fox dipping his foot in the Atlantic and felt somewhat sheepish when thinking of comparing my nasal congestion to his determination to run miles through constant pain to help fund cancer research. “I just wish people would realize that anything’s possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try,” Terry Fox said. And once I arrived at Blackburn Park, there was another person to admire. Howard Overend has run all 33 Terry Fox runs, ever since the start of the Marathon of Hope in 1980. But what is truly remarkable was to see Howard out in his shorts and Tilley Hat, ready to run this year – at age 94. No, that was not a misprint. Truly, Howard embodies Fox’s spirit. And then there was Zachary Watkins, the five-year-old who now joins my twins in kindergarten. He was still in diapers when he was diagnosed and endured surgery and chemotherapy. Sunday, Zach rode his bike in the 2-km and gave me a high five before the start. He’s a survivor. It was also heartening to hear organizer Cliff Evans speak about how, when Terry began his Marathon of Hope, his chance of surviving his form of cancer was five per cent. Today, that prognosis has jumped to 85 per cent. It is advances in cancer care, which have come from years of study and clinical trials, that have made the difference. But research doesn’t come cheap – and it is the support of average citizens, all of whom, I think it is safe to say, have been touched in some way by this terrible disease, that has helped make that difference. While running four kilometers has not exactly been a lifelong dream, it was something I didn’t believe I could do – until I tried. It feels good to know that my efforts, along with others across the country, generated funds to support the continuation of Terry’s dream. Not only did I jog the course to the finish, but I also managed to surpass my fundraising goal. I know it will be money well spent. Thank you to those who supported my personal fundraising drive and to all those in the Shuswap who donated to the cause. An initial count shows $6,100 was raised locally. Hope to see you there next September.

Editorial

Taking a relaxing break from scrutiny Everyone enjoys a break from their daily routine. Long weekends and vacations are always appreciated. So, who are we to begrudge our prime minister, Stephen Harper, for wanting to prorogue parliament for a couple of months? The current parliamentary session, the 41st, has been running for 222 days. Not quite two-thirds of a year, but that’s a lot of question periods ducking and weaving questions and scandals like a punchdrunk boxer. But wait, those 222 days are actually spread over a two-year period. The 41st parliamentary session started in June 2011, following the general election, and was in session for 68 days, another 129 days in 2012 and another 75 days in 2013.

No matter, Harper said he decided to prorogue the 41st parliamentary session because the Conservative government had achieved most of what it had set out to do in the last Speech from the Throne. Word is, Harper will ask the Governor General to call MPs back in October. Meanwhile, B.C.’s Premier Christy Clark is also putting the provincial legislature on hold for a bit. If things were going well we could forgive our hard-working leaders for wanting a little ‘metime.’ But things aren’t going well. We hope Harper and Clark use their time off constructively to come up with economic action plans that actually benefit Canadians and British Columbians who are out of work and/or living in poverty. – Kelowna Capital News

The Observer asked: What do you think about the parking time limits in the downtown core?

Muriel Schubert “More people would consider shopping in the downtown area if there were fewer restrictions on parking.”

Nancy Whitticase “The one hour on the streets and two hours in the parking lots is fair.”

Warren Welter “If more people rode bikes they wouldn’t have to worry about parking .”

Time for BC Hydro to cover its overdue bills BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – When Christy Clark became premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates. BC Hydro was heading to the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply for rate increases totalling 32 per cent over three years. This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single message was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years. The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Campbell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream. Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate increases below four per cent in the preelection period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said. Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increases totaling 26 per cent over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Professional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Liberal government. Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palatable. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011.

COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monopoly on electricity generation. Energy industry lawyer David Austin calculates that of the proposed 26.4-percent increase, about 3.5 per cent can be attributed to BC Hydro buying power from private sources, at prices competitive with new public power sources such as the Site C dam. Most of it comes from the overdue repairs to those old dams, other costly projects including the addition of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling. In August I reported that as many as 20 of BC Hydro’s existing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environmentally. In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors. These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy. Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production. Bennett now acknowledges that gasfired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large. Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

Paul Walker “I’m all for free parking but for a reasonable amount of time so people won’t park all day.”

Mike Gilburg “It should be at least two hours so that people have enough time to shop.”

Keep the bitumen flowing Apparently Big Oil has instructed Prime Minister Harper to do whatever it takes to get that sticky bitumen flowing out of Canada. The federal Conservatives are currently making a ‘full court press’ against any opposition to tar-sand oil pipelines in B.C. Hot air will inflate political promises, financial figures will be fiddled, pipeline technology will be glorified and safety will be championed.

Critics will be demonized and bribes will be offered. There are countless examples of corporate greed being exacerbated by human blundering. One need only look across the Pacific Ocean to Japan’s ongoing nuclear nightmare. The expediency of short-term profits overwhelmed the morality of ethics. Then there is Enbridge’s 2010 horrific Kalamazoo River oil spill. Their pipe-

line operators ignored the implications of the alarms sounded in Enbridge’s Edmonton headquarters for 18 hours and pumped nearly one million gallons of diluted bitumen into the environment. All Canadians should heed George Bernard Shaw’s warning, “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.” Lloyd Atkins

Ways to remedy health care Recently out of four weeks fighting a stubborn, systemic infection threatening to shut down my ability to carry on as a functioning adult, one of those weeks was spent in a local hospital. I learned, through observation and questioning, a few things that the health administration in this province might wish to take into consideration. First of all, the system is broken and needs fixing, immediately. Our BC Ministry of Health ought to be out front in leading society to a place of wellness and wellbeing. It isn’t. I learned that hospitals do not recycle anything, which is absolutely irresponsible and preposterous in this day and age.

The excuse seems to be that contamination might somehow occur. Balderdash! Secondly, our nurses are not underpaid. They are, however, grossly overworked. The average nurse in the execution of his/her duties in a 12-hour shift walks or runs approximately 16 kilometres or 10 miles, if you prefer. No, I am not kidding. Research has been done with pedometers and a nurse can execute 16,000 steps or more in a shift and that, folks, equates, at a metre a step, to 16-k. The care these nursing practitioners provide is superb and “seldom is heard a discouraging word.” However, when you ask for something or are due for a medication or treatment and

your attending nurse runs from your room saying, “I’ll be right back,” and you don’t see her/him for quite a spell, you can bet that she/ he has been drawn in several directions of priority, all superseding yours. And each nurse is responsible for four or five patients plus assisting other nurses with their wards. OK now, how about waste, and I don’t mean garbage. Senior management salaries are out of sight and, in my opinion, totally unwarranted. Any program or initiative which does not directly impact patient care and improvement ought to be scrapped. Edgar Murdoch

A notice to Observer advertisers informed them of a rise in rates. The notice related that the next issue, the Observer would be starting on its seventh year. of publication. It was first issued as a five-column, four-page paper, and not until it had been running two years did its subscription list reach 400. In 1913 it was a six-column, eight-page paper. Expenses had increased but advertising rates had not changed.

Gaining hope by giving hope By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

s odd as it may sound, one of Erica Casselman’s greatest life accomplishments was caring for her dying husband, Jim. “I would never exchange the time we had,” Casselman says of her lifelong love, who died of cancer in 2007. “Caring for Jim made me a more compassionate, more human person. I learned so much through the experience.” In 2005, Jim was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, an incurable form of cancer caused by asbestos inhalation. Jim was treated with aggressive chemotherapy and underwent surgery. During a seven-month remission, the couple and their two sons enjoyed a reasonably active life, cherishing the time they had. In December 2006, the disease took centre stage again and Jim tried an unproven treatment as part of a clinical trial in Edmonton. Sadly, this did not work and Jim died in April 2007. Casselman’s experience grew into a feeling that she had a personal responsibility to help others. “There are challenges in caregiving for someone you love, but I also felt compelled to share that there are gifts in the caregiving role. You can get so bogged down in the challenges that you can’t see the rewards,” she says. And so, Casselman has become a CancerConnections volunteer, acting as a source of support for other caregivers whose loved ones have cancer. This is an extension of a Canadian Cancer Society program that pairs people who have cancer with others who are recently diagnosed and looking for some support.

Casselman knows firsthand that it is not just cancer patients who need support – caregivers also need caring. So she joined the network of volunteers across the country who offer the voice of experience to those in a similar situation to her own. The program operates by phone, so matches between volunteer and caregiver happen across the country. “What I love about this program is that it is so accessible, all you need is a phone, so you can contact people from anywhere you might be and reach them even in the most remote of places,” says Casselman. The service is free and the volunteer is given a calling card to make the connection with the person looking for support. This also protects the volunteer’s confidentiality because they never give out their personal phone numbers and ensures the support role doesn’t become more than a volunteer can handle. The CancerConnections program also sets limits on the relationship. Casselman, for example, has had six matches from across the country and all have involved someone caring for a terminal cancer patient. Once the person has died, Casselman will do a follow-up call with the caregiver, but then the support can be facilitated by the Canadian Cancer Society’s office to bereavement support services in that person’s community. There is also constant support for volunteers through the Canadian Cancer Society’s debriefing teams. “They recognize this can be an emotional process for their volunteers and I can call them any time for suggestions, ideas about what to say and they always follow up with me to see how I am doing.” Casselman says that while

CancerConnections volunteer: Above, Erica Casselman sits on a memory bench dedicated to her late husband Jim. Below, Ivan, Graham and Erica Casselman cherish time with Jim, centre, before he died. she is still grieving the loss of her husband, offering support to others provides satisfaction. “You get to know them so well, because you understand the journey of cancer. Often I’ve heard, ‘Erica, you are the only one who gets it.’ And I find that so important. It helps me put aside whatever I am doing. It is not about me, it is about them, in that moment in time in that dark place,” she says. “My thought is, if you want hope in life, give hope to others.” Often simply listening is what can be most helpful. As well, volunteers can bring up topics or offer some coping strategies

or practical tips that the caregiver can choose to use as they see fit. She suggests caregivers consider things like wills and medical care directives, look at recording moments with their loved one through photos, audio tapes, and speaking to friends and family from their heart about how to help. “I’ve become very comfortable with talking about the uncomfortable,” she says. If you or someone close to you has cancer, or if you are a cancer survivor or caregiver looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity, The Canadian Cancer Society invites you to contact their free and confidential support programs at cancer.ca or by calling 1-888939-3333.

Coffee company comes to Canoe By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

The public will have a chance to weigh in Sept. 23 on a coffee roasting business and restaurant proposed for Canoe. A public hearing will be held that night at 7 in the North Canoe Hall regarding a rezoning to accommodate the Leaping Frog Coffee Company Ltd. at 4940 Canoe Beach Dr. NE – the former Doc’s Pub location. The zoning amendment would change the zoning from C1, local commercial, to C16, comprehensive develop-

ment zone. A report from the city’s planning department notes that staff reviewed other coffee roasting operations in the province. “It is apparent that the nature of this land use (e.g.: smoke and odours) is such that creation measures are necessary to mitigate possible impacts to the surrounding properties.” The measures listed included restrictions on operating hours, a maximum number of coffee beans per week, as well as an afterburner. Karla Ferster, the applicant, told council Sept. 9 that she

Enrolment better than expected Enrolment looks to be a little better than last spring’s projections in the North Okanagan Shuswap School District but still down approximately 200 students from last school

year. “It looks like we’re up a little bit from projections with elementary up around 50 students and secondary up 17,” said Superintendant Glenn Borthistle at

the first regular meeting for the North Okanagan Shuswap Board of Education Tuesday. He noted these numbers are still very preliminary and the district will have a better idea

on the ministry’s enrolment “snapshot” day on Sept. 30. “But, it looks like we’re sitting at about 5,800 and last year we were right around 6,000 students.”

MANAGING YOUR MONEY

I’m getting an inheritance

Have you ever met an ‘average person’? Neither have I. But, for the sake of argument, let’s say you’re the ‘average Canadian’ and you’re getting an inheritance. If so, that inheritance is not likely to be large, to help you make the most of that inheritance, here are some suggestions you may find helpful: • Understand what you’re getting. Is your inheritance in cash or investments that are liquid? Maybe you’ll be receiving tangible assets such as land, buildings or art that may take time to sell or that you will want to retain. Has the inheritance been bequeathed directly to you or will it be held in a trust that you do not control?

• STOP and take stock. Draw up a budget of your immediate income needs and your future income and capital needs based on your goals and dreams. Ensure proper asset allocation – meaning that money you need in the near future should not be placed in an investment that locks it in for a long time or that would be subject to redemption fees should you need the funds before the ‘locked-in’ period expires. • Repay non-deductible debt. Use some or all of your inheritance to repay debt on which the loan interest is not tax deductible. Start with debt that carries the highest loan interest rate. • Top it up. If you have investments held within RRSPs or TFSAs with unused carryforward room, fill it up. • Send your inheritance to school. Contribute to investments held within

RESPs to pay for your children’s expensive (and necessary) post-secondary education.

• Invest in your retirement/estate. Look carefully at such tax-advantage wealth accumulation vehicles such as Corporate Class Mutual Funds (that allow you to switch between different investments without triggering capital gains at the time of the switch) and Permanent Life Insurance (if you need it) which could provide tax-free funds at a critical time or a source of investment income to replace an income that is no longer there. • Know your relationship rules. In many provinces, gifts and inheritances are exempt in the case of separation or divorce. But – if you invest your inheritance in joint names with your partner or in a family home or cottage, or use the funds to pay down debt on jointly held property and then separate, the assets may become fully sharable. You may want to keep property and other investments separate from other family investments/assets. What you do with your inheritance is up to you, but to be sure your decisions fit your unique situation, talk to your legal and professional advisor first.

Peace poles go up Saturday

By Barb Brouwer

OBSERVER STAFF

May peace prevail on Earth. This is the message the youth of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church are sharing in the community by planting peace poles. Now found in most countries of the world, peace poles were the brainchild of Masahisa Goi in 1955 in Japan. The first peace poles outside Japan were constructed in 1983. Since then, more than 100,000 have been placed around the world in more than 180 countries. A monument to peace, each pole displays the prayer, “May peace prevail on Earth,” in the language of the country where it has been placed, and usually in three to five additional translations. In Salmon Arm, the message on the poles handcrafted by Micah Gunn will appear in four languages – English, French, Secwepemc and Japanese. Teresa McKerral, a member of the church, says the youth of the church decided they wanted to be part of the international program. In order to raise the funds they needed to have the poles built, they developed a PowerPoint presentation for parishioners “We raised so much money, $385, we were able to have two peace poles made,” McKerral said, noting Saturday, Sept. 21 is International Day of Peace and a perfect time to set the poles in place. Representatives from First Nations, French, Japanese and English cultures are invited to the unveilings, one at Peace Park on the Salmon Arm waterfront in the morning and a second at St. Joseph’s Church. The international Peace Pole Project today is furthered by the World Peace Prayer Society. Peace Poles are made of many materials in varying sizes, from tall granite poles to small wooden ones. The text might be carved or etched or painted. In some cases it merely is a plastic sign attached with screws. Peace Poles have been placed in such notable locations as the North Magnetic Pole, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and the Egyptian pyramids in Giza. The Salmon Arm peace poles will be placed Saturday, Sept. 21 at 11 a.m. at Peace Park and 4:30 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Church.

Support withdrawn for Lyme clinic

Frustration: ‘Lymies’ faced with yet another disappointment in treatment of their disease. OBSERVER STAFF

High hopes have turned to frustration and disappointment for B.C. “Lymies.” B.C. residents who suffer from Lyme disease were thrilled when the province announced funding for a complex chronic disease clinic in 2010. But the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation (CanLyme) has withdrawn their support for the clinic that is operated by the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) – something clinic officials dispute. CanLyme president Jim Wilson says foundation members were shocked to discover that rather than following recommendations made in a 2009 provincially commissioned report on the disease, treatment at the clinic would be restricted to the same “inadequate guideline” that prompted its establishment in the first place. The report prepared by Brian T. Schmidt, retired senior vicepresident of the provincial health authority, posted an urgent call for improved diagnostic methods for chronic Lyme. In the report never released to the public, Schmidt also calls for B.C. to continue efforts to improve diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic Lyme and for doctors to develop a realistic and flexible course of treatment for individual patients. But Wilson questions the province’s move to

Dr. Bonnie Henry, medical director of communicable disease control and acting provincial health officer, says officials are very disappointed by CanLyme’s pull-out. “The clinic has spent a lot of time engaging with stakeholders to make sure protocols meet the needs of these oBserver FIle Photo people suffering from In agreement: Rory and Sheri Mahood debilitating illness,” she would like access to long-term antibiotics, says. “We’re seeing a mix not a clinic that offers meditation. of patients and I think give the BCCDC fund“I absolutely agree it’s a bit shortsighted for ing and control of the with CanLyme’s deci- them to focus only on clinic when, he says, sion to withdraw their antibiotics.” the doctor in charge is endorsement.

’Backs blast rival Vipers at home

Gillies: Forward shines in regular season opener. Getting a win in the home-opener of the season in front of an enthusiastic crowd is always sweet, but to do it over the rival team from down the road makes it even better. The Salmon Arm SilverBacks scored a pair of victories over the Vernon Vipers by scores of 6-1 on Friday at Shaw Centre and 6-5 in double overtime Saturday in Vernon. Alex Gillies scored the winner both nights and had five goals on the weekend to earn the BCHL player of the week honours. Gillies, a Vernon native, notched a hat trick including the overtime winner Saturday on a breakaway, moments after ’Backs goalie Angus Redmond denied Demico Hannoun on a penalty shot. Assistant coach Brandon West couldn’t have scripted it much better. “We wanted to see a better start from our guys on Saturday but, knowing it was their home-opener, we knew it was going to be tough,” said West. “I think both nights were great games. Vernon plays a fast, physical game like us… (They) competed hard both nights.” Friday at Shaw Centre, West could sense the players were full of anticipation for their first regular-season home game and he was pleased to see them come through with a convincing win for the fans. “Our guys were excited to get the season going and whether it was nerves or jitters, the guys were looking forward to this game,” said West. The ’Backs overcame the anxiousness and captain Blake Box revved up the crowd with a spirited tilt against Vipers captain Ryan Renz.

Lazar signs with senators Salmon Arm Minor Hockey product Curtis Lazar has signed on with the Ottawa Senators. The NHL franchise announced Tuesday that they had signed Lazar, a first-round draft pick, to a three year, entry-level deal. “We’re trying to get our best players tied up and he is certainly one of the guys of the future in this organization so we’re very, very happy to get him signed at this point,” states Senators general manager Bryan Murray on the team’s website. Lazar tweeted after the announcement that he was proud to sign with the Senators, and that he couldn’t have done it without his family, friends, coaches and teammates.

Howard continues to excel Salmon Arm’s Rebecca Howard and her steed Riddle Master continue to perform with the world’s best. At the prestigious and very grueling Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials in Lincolnshire, U.K., which consists of dressage, cross-country and stadium jumping, the equestrian team placed 12th in a field of about 60.

’Backs’ focus on penalty kill paying off Continued from A17 “That really sparked our building,” said West. “We could hear the noise behind us... It gave us an extra lift.” Salmon Arm scored a goal in the first, two in the second and three in the third to seal the deal. First star Colton Thibault opened the scoring and later added the insurance goal. Gillies was the story of the weekend though, and right now he’s playing the part of the trigger man on a line with Landon Smith and Evan Anderson. Gillies’

killing performance which held the Snakes 0-11 on the weekend. Up and down the

lineup, the SilverBacks’ are buying into the concept and West says it’s tough to tell what

the top group of penalty killers is. “Right now, the penalty kill is doing a fantastic job and it’s not just one guy,” said West. “Speaking with our staff before the season, we wanted to have a good penalty kill… everyone has done such a good job competing.” That will have to continue this weekend going into a homeand-home set against the West Kelowna Warriors, who are coming off two wins over Merritt. Salmon Arm hosts the Warriors Saturday at 7 p.m.

Living in a city that’s said to be built on seven hills, it’s understandable that Salmon Arm’s Jill Flockhart might have some ups and downs. Her mixed experience, however, is not due to changes in altitude. Flockhart is in Kampala, Uganda, where she is on a year-long internship with Soccer Without Borders, a nongovernmental organization that works with impoverished youth. Her mom, Heather Flockhart, says Jill is experiencing highs and lows. “Like I knew would happen, she’s getting very attached to these little kids,” she explains, noting that the downside of getting close to them is seeing their situations as refugees. Because of numbers, Jill and her fellow interns sometimes have had to turn away children because their teaching room is too small. Uganda is listed as having the highest number of refugees in Africa. They have come

cheque. Reg Walters, president of the association, said the board is happy to support Flockhart. “Jill’s always been a great ambassador for soccer and she raises the profile of our association within the soccer community when she can play soccer at the collegiate level. Basically we’re giving something back to her.” He said another reason is that so often Canadian soccer benefits from people from other countries coming to teach. “The executive felt it’s important we support our people when we can make a contribution the other way.” On her blog, Jill summarizes her first weeks in Uganda: “Thank you all for following up with what I am doing here in Uganda. There have been many up and downs but overall it has been amazing. Every day I learn something new and am becoming more familiar with my new home. The time is going by very quickly and I am trying my best to embrace every day

Predictions of a fifth-place finish for Centennials committed to Dartmouth University Big Green for the 2014-15 season. Strengths: With the likes of Lloyd, Firkus and Pope all returning up front, the Warriors will have a skilled offensive attack and will rely on youth and newcomers to round out the forward lines. On defence, Plant returns after last season playing on the top pairing while 20-year-old Jaden Schmeisser, acquired in an off-season trade, will bring a veteran presence after playing the last two seasons in Victoria. Coach’s quote (Rylan Ferster, who signed a five-year extension in the off season): “I’m optimistic about the season. We have more new faces than we had last year so it will take some time to get a read on the team. It’s going to be a tough division. There are going to be two really good teams that don’t make the playoffs. Our goal is to make the playoffs and go from there.”

5. MERRITT CENTENNIALS Key Returnees: F Sebastien Paré (1727-44), F Scott Patterson (11-14-25), F Jeff Wight (13-10-23), D Tyler Martin (6-1723), D Dane Birks (515-20), F James Neil (7-13-20). Rookie Sensations: Rhett Willcox (96), Gavin Gould (96) and Adam Tracey (95). On the blueline, the Centennials have added a pair of solid Americans in Wayland Williams (94) from California and Chicago’s Jake Clifford (94). A pleasant surprise in net has been Devin Kero. Strengths: The Cents, who finished third last year in the Interior Conference of the BCHL, just five points behind firstplace Penticton, have a solid nucleus of returning veterans (including 2013 NHL draft pick Birks on defence) as well some exciting, talented new recruits. Coach’s Quote (Luke Pierce): “ Expectations

here are to remain in the upper echelon of our conference. We know how daunting that task is. With a lot of new faces playing key roles on our team,

Rylan Ferster West KeloWna Warriors

it will be up to myself and Joe Martin to expedite the process of teaching Merritt Centennials hockey.” 6. TRAIL SMOKE EATERS Key Returnees: F Adam Wheeldon (810-18), D Braden Pears (6-29-35) , F Scott Davidson (11-23-34), F Jesse Knowler (9-1423), F Bryce Knapp (injured last season), and G Adam Todd (126-0, 3.63 GAA, .891 SAV).

Rookie Sensations: Riley Brandt, 16, combines sheer grit and determination, with touch and finesse around the net, while Dustin Nikkel (13-7-1, 2.71 GAA, .922 SAV) gives the Smokies a legitimate goaltending tandem that can singlehandedly win games. Strengths: The Smoke Eaters should have a strong and versatile defensive core with returning veterans Pears, Braedon Jones and Valik Chichkin. Throw in newly acquired 20-year-old Curtis Toneff and Alberta pickup Joel Webb, 18, Nick Patey, 18, and Vernon’s Nathan Browne, 19, and the Smokies will be big and stingy in their own end. Todd came in and performed brilliantly last season, winning 12 of 18 games he appeared in. Coach’s quote (Bill Birks): “Our goaltending is the best we’ve ever had here, with two legit guys that can play

Fweddy ﬁnds peace in the thwamp By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

h, oh, Fweddy the Fwog is in trouble – a veritable Fwench flap. What began as a matter of giggling and downright laughter over a playful exchange of letters in a school library has become a charming story about bullying. Fweddy the Wed Fwog Pwince is School District #83 teacher-on-call Wilf Pauls’ third delightful book. It is one born of a day at school when the then-teacher librarian and his students took on the challenge of finding all the words they could create by substituting the letter R for W. “It was a self-inflicted contest,” he laughs. “Out of that emerged this idea of making a story where someone can’t say the letter R, and what’s the result of that?” From that basic idea, the comical Pauls thought about how children who cannot speak properly are often the butt of jokes and bullying. Then the word fwog emerged and in choosing Fweddy, Pauls says he is making fun of himself by using the short form of his birth name, Wilfred. “Then I thought I’d throw a prince in there, and out of that comes the notion of one of Aesop’s Fables,” says Pauls, explaining the meandering way in which the story came together. Fweddy the Fwog is teased mercilessly by the other frogs because he is small, red and unable to say R. Discouraged by their unkindness, Fweddy moves to a safe place at the far end of the pond, where he makes friends and earns respect. “In bullying, the first thing is walk away, the second one is ignore,” says Pauls, of Fweddy’s choice to move away from his tormenters. “Most of all, he was happy with who he had become.” In the fable, The Frogs Desiring a King, the frogs ask their god for a king to rule over them and, after teasing them by throwing a

log into the pond, acquiesces to the frogs’ demands by giving them a stork. Unfortunately for the frogs, the king stork eats them all. In Fweddy the Wed Fwog Pwince, a stork who cannot say S becomes king and, well, he too savours a frog or two, turning the once lively pond into a place of fear. But unlike the Aesop’s story, things change dramatically when the king, or perhaps a queen, meets Fweddy. Pauls began working with School District #83 as a teacher-librarian in 1992. He has encouraged thousands of children to develop a love of learning through stories, magic, science experiments, music, trivia and real-

Fweddy the Wed Fwog Pwince is a departure from Pauls’ first two stories in the Baby Brawn Series – Baby Brawn Basketball Star and Baby Brawn Hockey Superstar, which was launched two years ago. The Fwog Pwince is delightfully illustrated by Myron Born, who has 20 years of experience drawing for television and film – Disney and Warner Bros. included. Illustrating Fweddy the Wed Fwog Prince

fulfills one of his dreams and is his entry into the world of children’s books in print. Barbara Coloroso, who runs the “Kids are worth it” program read Pauls’ story, contributed her ideas and is now putting the book on her recommended booklist for an anti-bullying campaign. Fweddy the Wed Fwog Pwince will make his official Salmon Arm debut from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 20 at Bastion Elementary. Celebrate a ‘ribbiting’ story of bullies, friendship, humour, forgiveness and a warm, surprise ending. Pauls will give a short talk on his new book at 7 p.m.

JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Eateries host music crawl By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Al Boucher likes music and wants more of it downtown. So, he and Shuswap Pie Company owner Mary Jo Beirnes are going about the business of bringing it in themselves. “We feel it’s easier for us to operate in tandem and generate more of a buzz,” says Boucher, noting an initial music crawl will take place Friday, Sept. 27. “The music scene is great here, but it’s not as vibrant as it could be with the wonderful talented musicians we have.” Boucher says the Pie Company stepped out first, hosting pre-Jazz Club music every Thursday evening. “They spearheaded that so we’re trying to build on it,” he says. “There are so many good groups and we want to give them more opportunities to showcase their talents.” The crawl will begin at the Pie Company on Alexander Avenue at 5:30 p.m. when the popular licensed eatery will play host to Shushmanoush – a gypsy jazz group comprised of Willy Gaw, Bill Lockie, Richard Owens and Neil Fraser. “We are really excited to team up with another great local business,” said Beirnes. “I am really excited about anything fun happening downtown,

and especially anything that supports local, live music.” The crawl, which will move on at 7 p.m. has no cover and is in addition to the Pie Company’s regular Thursday night music events that feature a variety of artists from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Then it’s along Hudson Avenue to the Blue Canoe, where the idea for Boucher’s latest venture grew out of his successful participation in this summer’s Routes and Blues program, in which Jake Verburg, Steph Clifford and Sam Masterton packed the café playing as the Sons of Bitumen. “We started talking about another show but they’re moving to Victoria in October, so we’re billing this as their last concert here,” says Boucher. “And Sasha Lewis moved back to Salmon Arm and has been studying hard, so this is her debut.” Boucher says he is excited about the event and will acquire a special liquor licence for the evening. He will also feature two special fall items available only that night, along with the regular menu. Cost for the evening is a $10 cover charge plus cost of dinner which, as always, will feature locally produced organic food. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the music begins at 7:30. Boucher is hopeful a similar crawl will take place every couple of months.

It’s the best of British music with three big tributes in one big show at the Salmar Classic Theatre on Friday, Sept. 27. This multi-talented cast consists of Marc Lafrance, Brent Stewart and Mick Dalla Vee who, when not with Atlantic Crossing are touring the world as the backing band with classic rock legends Bachman & Turner. The fourth band member is Dave Reimer of Barney Bentall fame. Collectively their music careers span three decades. Some of their performance and studio

credits include Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, Carly Simon, Cher, Glass Tiger, Loverboy, Trooper and a long list of others. From Alan Frew, who wrote a Rod Stewart hit, to Patricia Conroy and a who’s who in the music world, Atlantic Crossing has been described as ‘amazing.’ “I have never heard anyone sound that close to Rod Stewart,” says Loverboy’s Mike Reno. “The crowd loved this show.” From Atlantic Crossing’s spot-on versions of early Beatles classic’s to the energetic and flamboyant Sir Elton, to the most authentic Rod Stewart tribute you’ll hear anywhere, Atlantic Crossing celebrates the best of British music.

Embracing change focus of conference The Canadian Society of Questers will return to Salmon Arm for their annual fall conference Friday and Saturday, Sept. 27 and 28 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Called “Embracing Change,” the lineup features international and well-respected presenters of such topics as dowsing, how to improve eyesight, tapping into the future and how to activate the powers of the heart. The Four Agree-

ments: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by don Miguel Ruiz will be the basis of a keynote speech delivered by Gary van Warmerdam. “The truth revealed in the simple philosophies that were based on ancient Toltec teachings, impacted and changed my life profoundly and I still live according to that wisdom,” says Canadian Society of Questers president and conference co-ordinator Carol Heywood. “Very

few other things have influenced my life in such a powerful way.” Heywood says the fact millions of copies of the book have been sold indicates to her that many others have been impacted in a positive way by the simple principals. Teachings that go beyond the four agreements that have been developed from over 20 years of study and shamanistic exploring with don Miguel Ruiz will be presented by

van Warmerdam at a keynote address Friday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m., and in an day-long workshop on Saturday that begins at 9 a.m. Warmerdam’s path has led him to find practical ways to apply the four agreements towards the pursuit of happiness, and this will be the subject of an allday workshop on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Louisiana Hayride rolls on In March 2010, a small group of local performers presented the Louisiana Hayride on the stage at Shuswap Theatre for the first time. Anxiety was high over whether they’d sell enough tickets for two booked shows. “Well, both nights sold out and a third night was added, which also sold out,” says writer and producer Lori Risling. “Thanks to the tremendous support of Salmon Arm and area, the Louisiana Hayride show continues to sell tickets.” There are now four versions show, with the same, but characters and songs that have changed from show to show. The “Greatest Moments” show is just what the name implies, says Risling. “We’ve taken the very best moments from all shows and combined

them into one,” she says. “This is the very first time the tribute artists in this production have all performed in the same show.” The audience will see Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline, along with Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley. Back by popular demand are the “Cowboys,” who have been practising their fireside songs. In between the tribute artists, the show is filled with the music of artists such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins and Ray Price. Following his recent international win in Memphis, Tenn., Adam Fitzpatrick is bringing Elvis back to the building – both as the performer of the 1950s and in the 1968 Comeback Special. Ranked the No. 2 Elvis tribute artist in the world, Fitzpatrick is

SALMON ARM 250-832-2131

BRUCE ARTHUR HALL Bruce Arthur Hall of Salmon Arm, BC passed away at the age of 63 on September 10, 2013. Bruce was born in Revelstoke, BC on June 22, 1950 and had been a resident of Halls Landing (Sidmouth) south of Revelstoke, BC for his childhood. He moved to Salmon Arm in 1972, where he met and married his wife Trudy, in 1977. He was a well-respected business owner of Action Safety Service for 21 years. He was a hardworking, kind man who was often found working on his property in his backhoe or riding one of his many toys. Morning coffee with his friends was one of the favourite ways to start his day. He was a devoted husband, father and grampa, and his family meant everything to him. He enjoyed spending time with his friends. He especially enjoyed camping, golfing, quading and just being busy puttering around. Bruce will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by many, many friends as he touched so many in his life. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Trudy (Garbutt) of Salmon Arm, two children; Jana (Ian) Bridgen of Calgary, AB and Joel (Lindsay) Hall of Salmon Arm, BC, one grandchild; Sophie Bridgen, two brothers and a sister; Don (Cindy) Hall, Bill (Margaret) Hall, Joan Wollbaum. He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and other family members. Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Hilda (Anderson) Hall of Revelstoke, BC. A Celebration of Life Service was held at the Salmon Arm Community Centre on Monday September 16th at 1:00 pm. Memorial donations may be made to the Shuswap Community Foundation, PO Box 624, Salmon Arm, BC, V1E 4N7 for the Heritage park in memory of Bruce. We would like to thank family and friends for their support and kindness through this difficult time. Thank you to the Shuswap Lake General Hospital who provided compassion and wonderful care and to Jack and Dave of Bowers Funeral Service for your special touch and caring ways which has helped us more than you will ever know.

SHANE MACKENZIE GORNER February 14, 1994 to August 28, 2013 Shane passed away suddenly on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 in Salmon Arm BC, while working at Dinoflex, at the young age of 19 years. He was born to Lorne and Brenda Gorner in Smithers, BC, and is the eighth of ten children. He is survived by his parents- four sisters: Kala (Clint Young) of Saskatoon, Jodi (Kevin Luck) of Chilliwack, Paige of Abbotsford, and Cassidy of Salmon Arm- five brothers: Adam (Allison) of Dawson Creek, Cole (Diane) of Chetwynd, Todd (Serena) of Dawson Creek, Brian who is serving a mission in Seattle Washington, and Jesse of Salmon Arm- nine nieces: Elizabeth, Kira, Hailey, Emily, Jenna, Sophia, Bronwyn, Adelyn, and Abby, and two nephews: Gabriel, and James, and two Grandmothers: Dorothy Gorner of Penticton, and Loraine Wheadon of Summerland. He spent his first seven years loving the outdoors in Smithers before moving to Mission in 2001, where he attended elementary school, and began his love of music with the bass guitar. He moved with his family to Salmon Arm in 2006 where he graduated from Salmon Arm Secondary School with the class of 2012. He was a very talented and enthusiastic young man who created humour so others would laugh with him. He will be remembered most for his radiant smile and wacky sense of humour. He had roles in several productions with the Shuswap Youth Theatre including, “Sweet Suzie of the Shuswap”, and “Stressmas”. He also had leading roles in several plays put on at the high school, which included “The Insect Comedy”, “Anything Goes”, and finally, “The Detective Story”. Shane loved the Fine Arts, and was perfecting his skills in art, music, and writing as well as in theatre. He has written and composed many songs, poems and stories and had many projects on the go as the ideas he had were endless. He will be sadly missed but leaves many wonderful and happy memories with both family and friends. Shane was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and he was preparing to serve a mission for the church to share the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. His funeral service was held there on Monday, September 2, 2013, with his interment at the Lakeview Cemetery in Penticton, on Tuesday, September 3, 2013. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Andre Carelse at Bowers Funeral Home for his exceptional support and help. Online condolences can be sent through Shane’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservicecom. Donations in memory of Shane Gorner can be made to the “Shuswap Community Foundation” for an Endowment Fund.

Love You!!
