Recycling changes take effect By Martha Wickett OBSeRVeR STAFF
Paper cups for hot and cold beverages can now be recycled, but plastic bags and plastic film packaging can’t. These are just two of the guidelines that came into effect Monday, May 19 with the move to the MultiMaterial Bc recycling program. At Tuesday’s meeting of the city’s development and planning services committee, Rob niewenhuizen, director of engineering and public works, referred council to the brochure recently distributed to residents listing what can and can’t be recycled. “One of the important things to note, we are still a blue bag program, a clear blue bag program,” he said. “Many other communities have gone with carts and bins.” new recyclable items listed include: ‘gable top’ milk cartons, aseptic or ‘tetra pak’ boxes and cartons (without straws), clean plastic garden plant pots and seedling trays, and empty aerosol cans that contained food, air fresheners or shaving cream. The brochure notes that depots will continue to collect glass and, beginning Jan. 1, 2015, residents will be able to also take their plastic bags and plastic film as well as plastic foam or Styrofoam. In the meantime, residents are asked to either stockpile, re-use or stop using these items. Residents may call city hall at 250-803-4000 if they have questions. coun. chad eliason said he’s pleased, as the net number of items recycled has increased. He said education will now be key. “Fines for getting the wrong content are big for the city, that’s the fear.” coun. debbie cannon agreed, saying council should use an “out-of-the-box” way to educate residents, perhaps with some kind of game or challenge. under the agreement, each household receives $34 for participating, a figure that will be deducted from their annual garbage and recycling bill. In addition, the city receives $3.25 per household for education regarding the program. The new program stemmed from a change in 2011 to the provincial recycling regulation to require businesses that supply packaging and printed paper to residents to start taking responsibility for them once they’re discarded. eliason said he’d also like to see green waste go into a composting program, and remaining recyclable materials collected so there will not be the need for a new landfill in his lifetime.

Seeking support: James Hanna sinks his teeth into a crisp Ambrosia, one of the apple varieties grown at Hanna & Hanna Orchards.
Growers oppose GMO apple Fruit: Okanagan company creates non-browning variety, but Salmon Arm orchardists don’t intend to cultivate it. By Martha Wickett OBSeRVeR STAFF
Some see it as a rotten idea fit for the compost; proponents think it deserves to be polished and marketed. Judgments are strong when it comes to genetically modified apples. The non-browning Arctic apple was created by Okanagan Specialty Fruits, an agriculture biotechnology company based in Summerland. The apple is currently awaiting approval from the u.S. department of Agriculture, with a decision from the canadian Food Inspection Agency expected to follow. James Hanna, owner of Hanna & Hanna Orchards in Salmon Arm, doesn’t mince words about the plan. “I think it’s ridiculous. We don’t need GMO apples, that’s for sure.
This week What’s making all that racket? Knocking on wood with the territorial woodpecker. See A8. Elder Ernie Philip’s life becomes the subject of a new film project. See the story on A19.
We already have apples out there that don’t go brown, there’s no need for getting into this GMO stuff. We’ve got a world-renowned breeding program and the ability to develop another nonbrowning apple with existing varieties, without having to do it with a GMO product.” He notes that Ambrosias and Galas, for instance, are varieties that brown very little. neal carter, the founder and president of Okanagan Specialty Fruits, responded via email to questions about the apple. carter said he settled on the name Arctic apple, because, “like the snowdriven landscape for which they are named, the flesh of Arctic apples remains pristine and unspoiled.” While there are “low-browning” varieties of apples in existence, he said,
only Arctic apples are non-browning. “Another advantage of having a biotech solution for browning is that we can make any variety non-browning, including ones that are already popular. So, rather than having to spend years (possibly decades) trying to develop a single new non-browning variety with no guarantee of success, we have Arctic Granny, Arctic Golden and many other favourites on the way.” The company’s website also lists plans for GMO cherries, pears and peaches. While opponents say that GMO foods have only been on the market since 1996 so their effects can’t be adequately tested, carter says biotechnology is relatively new, but that doesn’t mean its effects are unknown.

CFIA approval still pending Continued from front “Unlike conventional breeding, biotechnology is an incredibly precise technology that allows us to make targeted changes that are specific to a single trait. As an example, we are now able to use DNA sequencing to identify all 750 million base pairs of our Arctic apples. This clearly shows us that we’ve made precisely the change we meant to without making any other unintentional alterations.” Regarding bans that have been placed on GMO products in different parts of the world, Carter says they’re based on public confusion, not evidence. He said the track record of biotech foods speaks for itself. “All the leading global science and health organizations speak to their safety and benefits.” Carter says the goal in creating the nonbrowning apple is to boost apple consumption while improving the apple industry’s bottom line. “The food service industry is where consumers spend half of their food dollars, yet very few apples are
sold there. Non-browning apples can open up this market by lowering production and processing costs of cut and dried fruit, offering consumers greater convenience, and reducing the number of apples that are wasted throughout the supply chain.” Hanna, however, sees GMO apples having a negative effect on the industry. “It’s hard enough to market apples as it is, without adding strikes to the fruit in the beginning. Anybody who is into marketing in the industry knows that. It’s hard to introduce new varieties – it takes years,” he said, adding it doesn’t make economic sense to him to try to introduce a controversial apple. Hanna thinks growers will take a stand by not planting it. “I’m not going to plant it and probably most growers in the valley won’t plant it. What’s the point?” Allan Peterson of Peterson Bros. Orchards in Salmon Arm said he doesn’t expect the genetically modified apple will go over well. “I think the impression of it is, it won’t be viable. It’s not something I’d jump at by any means. There are already apples that do
that (don’t brown) naturally.” Fred Steele is president of the BC Fruit Growers Association. He says the association is on record as being opposed to the GMO apple, but said there’s not much it can do until the CFIA makes a decision.
Neal Carter ARCTIC APPLE CREATOR “Why risk an entire economy… to get an apple that doesn’t brown in a salad or a lunch box?” he asks, noting he’s seen a Gala apple last for three hours without browning. He questions whether a consumer would want to keep the rest of a salad for longer than three hours anyway. He also said GMO fruit could potentially create contamination problems for the organic industry, which must be GMO-free. Last week the Burnaby-based Health Action Network Society announced that 20
Officials keep eye on river The Salmon River is running high and weather this week could play a critical role in potential flooding. “We’re somewhere between mean annual
stores and fruit stands have stated they would not be selling the Arctic apple because of health concerns if it is approved. Hanna reiterates that he doesn’t understand why anyone would want to risk consumer confidence in the safety of B.C. apples. “I’m really quite proud of the B.C. fruit industry that we’re responsible and we don’t have that genetic modification going on. Consumers can be very confident they get safe B.C. fruit when they eat your product – and why would you destroy that?”
flood level and a little beyond that,” said David Campbell, section head at the province’s River Forecast Centre. “We’re seeing some steady rises along the full length
of the river.” Temperatures are expected to be lower than last week, and barring aggressive weather, the river should peak over the next week or so.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation plans to start oneday rotating strikes at schools around the province, rejecting the offer of a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year. In the North Okanagan-Shuswap school district, Tuesday, May 27 has been designated for the oneday strike. BCTF president Jim Iker said Tuesday the bonus doesn’t make up for the government’s wage offer of 6.5 per cent over six years. A simultaneous threat to cut teacher wages five per cent or more because of strike action is “just so disrespectful, so unnecessary, and we’ll be dealing with it at the Labour Relations Board,” Iker said. Unless there is some compromise on major issues, one-day strikes with picket lines will be staged at one group of school districts in each of the first four days next week, with teachers returning to work across the province on Friday, May 30. Iker reiterated the union’s position that more pay, more teachers and a return to contract language guaranteeing class size and special needs support are needed to reach a settlement. Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the province’s 60 school districts, informed the union last week that a five per cent pay cut will be put in place “soon” in response to the first phase of strike action. The BCTF began work-to-rule action in April, refusing supervision outside classrooms and communication with school management. s Any extension of the rotating job action will depend on events at the bargaining table.
Upon arrival, police located a tractor upside down with the cab submerged in a creek. The operator of the farm tractor was deceased prior to emergency personnel arriving. The man’s name has not yet been released.

Building permits top $20 million mark By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF
Construction is on an upswing in Salmon Arm. Going by the building permit stats for April, the city is currently en route to one of its most promising construction years since 2008. Last month, the city had issued $20,789,869 worth of permits. That’s about $5 million more than what was issued for all of 2013, which included $10 million in new commercial development related to the SmartCentres development. This year, the city has already issued about $6.3 million in new commercial, and $533,600 in additions to commercial development. Coun. Alan Harrison called last month’s stats ‘very encouraging.’ He also noted how, in addition to the new commercial and institutional develop-

much multi-family in the last five or six years, just because the demand hasn’t been there,” said Harrison. “We do have $2.3 million in building permits for 27 units going in under multi family and I think that’s a really good sign for our economy.” “I’ve been told there’s something like $40 million on the books when you take into consideration the build-outs at SmartCentres and the facility for the CSRD and the addition to the Lakeshore Manor, the new one on the corner of 20th and Lakeshore, so there’s quite a bit of institutional/commercial type building happening,” added Coun. Marg Kentel. “So it’s all good, and when I think about all the lots that are coming on from the previous development we just discussed, we’re in good shape to keep moving the economy ahead here.”

Board to review trustee numbers By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS
North OkanaganShuswap school trustees have been swinging the budget axe, and they could be the next target. The district is reviewing whether the number of elected officials should be reduced from nine to seven. “With continuing shortfalls, nothing escapes a look at possibly saving money,” said Chris Coers, Enderby trustee. The board is moving ahead with $1.8 million in cuts, including fewer special education
teachers, counselling staff, speech and language pathologists and teacher/librarians. “It’s been pointed out by our employee groups that we have nine trustees and not many districts have nine,” said Coers, adding the current structure occurred when the former Armstrong and Shuswap districts merged in 1996. It’s anticipated that eliminating two trustees could save the district about $25,00 a year. “The enrolment numbers in the outlying areas are declining, so we thought we should
“It’s been pointed out by our employee groups that we have nine trustees and not many districts have nine.”
Chris Coers SCHOOL TRUSTEE look at it,” said Coers. Cost savings aside though, there are concerns that a reduction in trustees could negatively impact representation for communities. “Enderby is not Armstrong and Armstrong is not Sicamous,” said
Coers. Presently, there is one trustee each for Enderby, Falkland, Carlin/ Sorrento, North Shuswap and Sicamous/ Malakwa, two for Armstrong/Spallumcheen and two from Salmon Arm.
“The things that matter to the communities and families in Enderby may look different than elsewhere.” Coers added that when the issue of cutting trustees has emerged before, many parents were opposed. “They were not willing to sacrifice their voice for such a small amount of money.” As part of the current review, municipalities and regional districts, as well as residents, will be consulted. “We want to see what their thoughts are,” said Coers.

THIS ’N’ THAT
Barb Brouwer
Magic in the written word On their own, letters don’t do much. But, in the right hands, magic can happen. Crafted into words, sentences and paragraphs, they take us on adventures, make us laugh, raise our heartbeats, have us looking over our shoulders in fear, give great joy or break our hearts. It was this kind of magic that infused the 11th annual Word on the Lake Writers’ Festival, hosted by the Shuswap Association of Writers on the weekend. It began with a Friday night coffeehouse presented by the Shuswap Writers Group. Each one of the stellar cast of presenters spoke briefly or read from their own work – to a hushed audience, anxious to hear every word. This year’s headliner, Diana Gabaldon, whose Outlander series has won fans in 38 countries in 34 languages, was generous with her talent and time. That this best-selling, gracious dynamo accepted an invitation to attend a festival in such a small venue is testament to her generosity and the quality of the festival. Gabaldon shared her time and talent, giving the keynote address at the opening, leading three workshops and speaking at Saturday night’s gala – and refused to accept a fee. The Shuswap’s own Gail Anderson Dargatz gave a master class similar to what she teaches at UBC; noted folk-roots musician David Essig led a workshop on songwriting; and Vancouver playwright Carmen Aguirre gave participants a key to writing memoirs. Other presenters had equally powerful information to share. But, one of the downsides to the festival, and it’s very minor indeed, is that attending every workshop is impossible. The written word was celebrated not only by adults but by 160 youth, who entered the Kids Write contest. There were 24 winners in four age categories – proof that the urge to create powerful prose has not been killed off by the present day lure of all things electronic. Members of the festival’s planning committee deserve enormous praise for presenting a first-class event that drew more than 80 participants. All the presenters were graciously accessible to participants, who also had the opportunity to have their own work critiqued by professionals. One Gabaldon fan from California chose to come to our festival rather than one closer to her home because of the intimate nature of the Salmon Arm event. New this year, a Saturday night gala, featured great food, prizes for adult writing contest winners, entertainment – including a song written and performed by the festival planning committee – and a theatrical performance by C.C. Humphreys, an actor who made two appearances on Coronation Street. Exhausted as they were on Sunday, organizers were already planning next year’s event, a feast for readers as well as writers. In the meantime, I will savour books written by five of the presenters, a full 2,656 pages of adventure to dig into.

Program falters on plastic bags Salmon Arm’s revised recycling system begins this week. This is the program mandated by the B.C. government, administered by the supposed non-profit, Multi Material BC, a kind of front for multi-national corporations that produce and sell recyclable material. A city pamphlet was mailed out to residences last week – an unfortunate example of insufficient timing – breaking down which materials are now accepted and which are not, as well as transitional items. Milk cartons and Tetra Paks are among the additions. Aluminum foil is accepted but foil bags and wrap are not. A step backward steps from the former curbside program is the removal of plastic bags. No, not the blue plastic recycling bags. But all
the packaging sold, and the grocery bags provided by such companies as Loblaws and Walmart which, coincidentally, are represented on MMBC’s board of directors – the very businesses that are supposed to be taking responsibility for the recyclables they sell. Plastic bags, a transition item, will be accepted at recycling depots on Jan. 1, 2015. Until then, people wanting to recycle these items will have to store them at home. Key to the success of Salmon Arm’s curbside recycling program is its convenience, and its good that materials are being added. Unfortunately, while grocery/merchandise bags can be returned to some retailers, there’s a good likelihood a lot more plastic will be tossed into the big black bags and taken to the landfill.

Aboriginal education or victim studies? BC VIEWS
Tom Fletcher
VICTORIA – The B.C. School Trustees’ Association is calling for a mandatory high school course on the history of residential schools set up to assimilate aboriginal children into European culture. Trustees propose a 25-hour course required for all graduating students, using interviews with residential school survivors, presentations by aboriginal leaders and discussion of current events. This would build on aboriginal courses already offered in B.C. schools, and a public education effort that began with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s 2008 apology and compensation for Canada’s residential school policy. B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman gave a speech on the need for mandatory education to a 2012 teacher conference. He said current aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, and went on to denounce a school system he said is still based on “colonialism” and a “settler construct” of history. “We need to acknowledge that racism is the norm in public schools – still today,” Hansman said. Is it really? He also claimed that the purpose and legacy of the residential schools have been “deliberately hidden” from school curriculum. In lieu of evidence, Hansman recounted old anecdotes of Americanstyle stereotyping from his own schooling in Ontario. But mostly he demanded social engineering in schools that must of course include more funding, more teacher professional development time and an affirmative action program to recruit more aboriginal teachers. Do Hansman’s allegations reflect the kind of attitude that would lead to truth and reconciliation? Or are they signs of another unfortunate legacy, that of the victim studies mentality that permeates
our universities? Here’s a suggestion for this mandatory course. Students could spend a couple of hours on one of the definitive works of B.C. aboriginal history, A Stó:lo Coast Salish Historical Atlas. A long-term project of the Stól:lo Nation, the atlas has meticulously documented chapters on European contact and residential schools. A journal kept at Fort Langley from 1827 to 1830 documents some of the raids between aboriginal communities on the Fraser River and Vancouver Island, corroborating elders’ accounts. During those three years, Cowichan men attacked the Chilliwack Stó:lo community four times. In the same period, the journal records 30 incidents of inter-community violence, some reaching down to present-day Washington state. Archaeological study of stone fortifications and weapons at fishing sites in the Fraser Canyon traces a history of inter-community violence back at least 3,000 years. Historians characterize some of this as warfare. British colonial authorities had some “settler constructs” about these activities: they saw them as assault, robbery, abduction and murder as well as slavery. This is the seldom-discussed backdrop for the European settlement of British Columbia, the imposition of British law and the later establishment of church-run residential schools. None of this is to excuse the forced removal of aboriginal children from their families, the horrendous abuse and neglect or the multi-generational damage to a culture already weakened by waves of smallpox. This 1928 plan to fix what was called the “Indian problem” deserves to be understood by everyone. But glossing over historical context and presenting a guilt trip to students would serve no one well. -Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Public needs to speak up for education On May 13, I was in attendance at the public school board meeting held in Salmon Arm, the atmosphere at which could only be described as grim. Areas cut in the budget that night included, but certainly weren’t limited to, counselling, maintenance, the Family Life program, education assistance, deaf and hard-of-hearing support, music, and teacher librarians. A Mom fought back tears to articulate her fear that children with speech delays might not get the help they need and could be left behind because of the current round of budget cuts. A longtime trustee spoke of how he is witnessing the same programs he watched develop and grow over the years now being dismantled. With nothing extraneous left to cut, another trustee described the budget process as akin to having to decide which finger was least vital to the functioning of the hand. This scene has played out across the province this spring. Although fixed costs (hydro,
heating, bus fuel) steadily increase, the Ministry of Education has frozen funding with no change in sight. Add to this the demographic pressure in a period of lower enrolment which means fewer funds to keep the same number of schools open. Everyone in the room that night agreed that there is a disconnect between the real impact the budget shortfalls are having on children and the quality of education they receive and the public’s awareness of the problem. It was felt that if parents and the public at large would only speak up the government would respond. These cuts will hurt, but next year another finger will have to be found. That could mean closing schools, or asking parents to contribute to the cost of busing, or worse. If we start demanding that schools be properly funded today perhaps that next finger can be spared.

Benefits of bypass outweigh underpass An open letter to Mayor Nancy Cooper – Much to my regret I am once again battling for the future of this small hamlet. Vision for this failing city by a small-town council seems forever to be the usual Canadian dream, suburbia with a double garage and picket fence, too many restaurants for a generation that never learned to cook, maybe the odd pub or gambling casino and joyful expectations for every new big-box store. Once again that tiresome disease known as the “underpass.” This is money surely wasted and it’s unthinkable that you would demolish the crowded passage of Ross Street for this foolish venture. The CPR has expressed some concern over the two level crossings and might even welcome an underpass. They would, however, favour a total bypass of town that would permit full speed for all trains, enjoy a saving in time and use far less fuel. The same cost saving applies to the parade
of large trucks through town. The real estate gained from the bypass would permit considerable improvement for the waterfront, parks and our valuable bird sanctuary. And you will have saved millions on the underpass you don’t need. The last great peril is the passage of some 30 trains a day often loaded with explosive cargo. The disastrous fire at Lac -Mégantic must surely be a lesson. And I can hear your mild response, “Well it’s most unlikely to happen here.” Well God took that day off and fate intervened; mistakes were made, the speed was too high; 47 people died and most of the town was lost. Good vision is indeed needed here, Madame Mayor, and with your council, more forceful demand must be directed at both CPR and our federal government. C.H. Dyke
Water rights need protection at every level The most recent World Water Day has reminded us that it is high time for water to be recognized as a human right. Since the responsibility for water is shared between provincial, municipal and federal governments, it is crucial that the right to water be enshrined at every level of government.
Safeguard against pricing schemes that limit access to water. So I don’t understand why homeowners and businesses get charged for water and sewer. Isn’t that “drinking water and sanitation?”

If you’ve been awakened by the sounds of an avian drummer boy – or girl – these early spring mornings, you’re not alone. Several people in town have noticed the insistent drumming of woodpeckers on their roofs, with the favoured surface often being metal pipes for maximum volume. “They’re marking territory and, if they’re not mating, they’re calling for a mate,” says naturalist Tom Brighouse. “They’re saying, ‘you guys stay off my territory.’” Woodpeckers are nesting in willow trees near Brighouse’s home. As well as drumming, there’s lots of singing. “This one has the biggest lungs for a small bird,” Brighouse says, smiling, regarding one of his feathered neighbours. “He can sing much longer phrases than I can… I’ve tried to sing alongside him but he’s got bigger lungs than I have.” Brighouse says the red-shafted Northern Flicker is responsible for much of the drumming residents hear. The red-shafted flicker is found on this side of the Rocky Mountains while, to the east, is the
yellow-shafted version. “Sometimes in the middle you’ll get hybrids which are sort of orange-shafted – which is quite interesting.” Also among the woodpeckers in this area is the Pileated Woodpecker, a large red-crested bird, the namesake of Salmon Arm’s Pileated Woods Park. It’s not known for being an avid drummer. At Haney Heritage Park, Northern Flickers have taken a liking to the walls of Haney House. Not only do they drum, sometimes they’ll punch a hole right through to make a nesting area high in the eaves, says Ted McTaggart, keeper of the park. He leaves the nest area alone, as he says the flickers use it over again and, when they’re done, the barn swallows move in. He’s noticed that the flickers come to feed on the larvae of Mason bees, who also call Haney House home. McTaggart was planning to repair any of the smaller holes the flickers have created and then hang up some old shiny fishing lures on corners of the house to help scare off the birds. He said he’d be discerning. “You don’t want too

Some can be found at: http://wdfw. wa.gov/living/woodpeckers.html. They include: • Scare the flicker by hanging strips of Mylar flash tape or floating Mylar party balloons in front of the area of activity. When using flash tape, strengthen each strip by attaching a piece of duct tape or nylon packing tape to each end. Tack or nail one end to the outer end of the roof

soffit, just under the gutter, and attach the other end to the side of the house. Before attaching the bottom, twist the tape six to seven times and keep the tape loose enough to provide some slack. The slack and twisting are necessary to produce the shimmering effect. Apply these tape strands at parallel intervals of two to three feet. • You can also try hanging aluminum pie pans horizontally along a rope or section of twine, states the website. Run one end of the rope to a convenient window and fasten it to an object inside the house. Whenever you hear drumming, jerk on the string to make the pans move. (Scaring flickers away from a nest containing eggs or young is not a humane practice.) • For those who can venture onto the roof, one solution is to create a barrier by covering
or wrapping the gutter, down-spout, or other drumming site with a sheet, tarp, burlap, or other material. The website also says some people have had success with stapling large rubber spiders in the vicinity of the drumming birds. These methods can also be used to disturb woodpeckers who are digging holes in roofs or walls in their search for insects. The website notes that flickers may be doing you a favour by drawing attention to an insect infestation. In the long term, you’ll need to get rid of the bugs, and then make any necessary repairs with wood filler, caulking, or other materials. Regarding drumming, the unfailingly witty Brighouse offers another sure-fire solution. “The answer is earplugs. Not for the birds, but for you.”

Dog rescue or criminal act? By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF
An act of rescue May 14 had the potential to turn into criminal charges. After seeing a dog frantic and barking in an unattended vehicle in 25-degree weather, Gord Cleeton and his wife Jan decided to do something about it. With the help of city employees Craig Boudreau and Austin
Novakowski, the Cleetons discovered that the passenger side door of the vehicle was left unlocked, and they let the dog out. They waited with the dog for over an hour for the owner to return. However, Boudreau was later notified that letting the dog out of the vehicle was technically considered breaking and entering and they could have been charged.
“People should absolutely call the RCMP or SPCA if they see a dog in distress in a hot car,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “It is illegal for individuals to break into a car.” Chortyk said that the BC SPCA gets hun-
dreds of emergency calls to rescue dogs whose lives are endangered due to being left in hot cars. “We encourage people to call for help and if they are in a store parking lot to see if the manager can make an announcement calling for the owner to return.”

Poor fishing puzzles residents
2 for1 HELD OVER!
White Lake: Public meeting takes place tonight at 7. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
White Lake and area residents are hoping to find out what’s going wrong in the lake and they’re willing to help find the answers. Potential problems in the lake were first aired early in the year, when longtime White Lake fisherman Alf Davy raised the alarm about a substantial drop in rainbow trout catch in the past three years. His concerns were taken up by the White Lake Residents Association (WLRA). WLRA president Bryon Every says several other fishermen have also voiced their concerns about the drop in fish. “There were all sorts of ideas about what was causing it, including a beaver dam at the mouth of Cedar Creek that was potentially blocking the spawning trout from getting into the creek,” says Every. He says residents have also questioned if there have been changes to the food system or the vegetation and decided they needed to do something besides speculating. He notes that, following several meetings and conversations, the association has garnered support from the ministries of environment and forests, lands and resource operations, as well as the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo and Dr. Brian Heise of Thompson Rivers University Faculty of Science. As well as trying to raise funds to help offset the costs of proposed studies, WLRA members are providing volunteers to do some of the work. “The stomach samples we have offered to do for them will be a big help,” Every says of plans to examine the contents of the stomachs of fish that are caught on the lake for a full year. “They’ve never had a baseline on the food chain before.” As well, volunteers will be surveying fishermen for their input on fishing in the lake. “We’re doing a spawning count to see how many fish are actually going up the creek,” he says. “That’s gonna help the ministry to establish how

many stock fish they need to put in.” But Steve Maricle, senior fish biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, says the number of fish stocked this year was increased from 25,000 to 45,000. But, he cautions that over-stocking could cause further problems, with competition for food resulting in smaller fish, which is not likely to appeal to anglers either. And while he says nobody knows what the problem is, Maricle suspects it is an overabundance of goldfish. “They’re far better competitors, they can handle warmer water and produce in the lake at a much higher rate.” Steve Maricle Maricle says a longFISH term plan is in the BIOLOGIST works to have a masters student from Thompson Rivers University do a nomical, particularly as study on chara in White goldfish require double Lake and several other the dose.

Downtown Salmon Arm’s surplus slated for decor, signs By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Downtown Salmon Arm’s finances are looking good, which could mean more signage and decorations for the downtown. At the end of the year, the downtown organization had $85,000 in the bank. Net assets – the cash as well as capital – were $110,632. “We’re sitting in a really healthy financial position,” reported Jeff Johnson, treasurer, at the annual general meeting on April 22. At the beginning of 2013, net assets were $92,601. Added to that was an $18,000 surplus by the end of the year. Contributing to the surplus was the departure of former manager Joanne Mason, as the full amount budgeted for her salary was not spent.
Mayor Nancy Cooper said it depends what the bylaw says. Coun. Chad Eliason, also present, commented. “If you run a surplus, it means you don’t need
it and give it back. So we collect less from the property owners next year,” he said, adding, “It’s not forced. It’s just a formality. If you have excess money, we can take it back and re-
adjust.” Langenfeld replied: “Oh, we’re going to spend it.” She later explained that enhanced decoration and signage is where the organization
would like to direct the funds. “We’d like to do more to decorate downtown.” Other focuses for Downtown Salmon Arm will include building on the Santa
town theme that was highlighted in the Vancouver Province last December; furthering tourism and establishing the downtown as the hub of the region; enhancing the restaurant
crawl; working on National Aboriginal Day celebrations in June; finalizing a photo contest; working on more graffiti removal and continued lobbying for a downtown parkade.

Chad Eliason City COunCillOr President Cookie Langenfeld spoke highly of Mason and added how pleased the organization is to now have new manager Lindsay Wong on board. “We want to thank her for all her contributions while she was with us…,” she said of Mason. “We just loved her.” Johnson noted the city has directed the organization to spend the surplus. Director Bill Laird asked why the city is telling Downtown Salmon Arm it has to spend the money. A levy is collected from downtown businesses by the city and then paid to the organization. “Can we get the middle man out of it and pay for it ourselves?” he asked. In response to the question directed at her,

stigma that surrounds it. Salmon Arm will be participating in the ride for the second time in a row on June 22. The campaign was conceived in 1995 when Schratter, who is bipolar, had a manic episode that landed him in his college campus hospital. Schratter mentioned that he was tired of feeling ashamed for his mental illness, and decided to do something about it. “It was the notion that I had something to be ashamed of,” said Schratter. It wasn’t until 2010 when, with the help of his wife Deborah, Schratter decided to put his dream into action and cycled around the world in order to raise money and dissolve the stigma around mental illness. His trek took him 40,000 kilometres across six continents and 33 countries in 469 days, but he managed to complete his goal

and raise $10,000 to go towards the Canadian Mental Health Association’s youth programs. In times of struggle, Schratter was able to find strength in people who believed in his cause, and as the campaign grew, so did his support. Schratter said he believes it’s important to get rid of the stigma because it can result in isolation and restrict people from healing. “The stigma is more

here was thunder at Little Mountain Park Thursday, but it didn’t come from the sky. Instead, it was the sound of more than 850 students participating in the School District #83 Elementary CrossCountry Running meet. All schools from the district, as well as students from King’s Christian School, participated in the event. School results were calculated based on the placing of the top two , three or four runners from each school, depending on the size of the school. This makes it possible for a smaller school to win the category if they met the criteria and had runners in the seven to 12 top placements.

Bike For Life registration opens June 2 Registration is coming up quickly for this year’s Bike for Life Century Ride. Online registration opens Monday, June 2 at 6 a.m. for the Saturday, Sept. 13 ride. City council heard a presentation from Roger Beardmore about the annual event that starts at Blackburn Park. The ride offers three longer routes (35, 75 and 100 kilometres), as well as a 10-km ride for families with children, or novices. Beardmore said the event had about 600 participants
last year and organizers are hoping to see it grow this year by at least another 100. He noted about 100 of the participants were from Salmon Arm, but the majority came from other communities in the province, as well as from Alberta. “In terms of showcasing the Shuswap, it’s certainly bringing people in from out of town and puts our community on a pedestal,” said Beardmore. The event, Beardmore emphasized, is not timed, but a fun ride where the main
emphasis is on participation. There was concern there may be construction at Blackburn Park that might hinder its use as the main venue, but city staff confirmed no such work would be occurring there during the summer. Beardmore also asked that the city do a pothole check prior to the event, explaining “there are definitely some rim-crushers out there” that could be a hazard for younger and/or less experienced riders. “We’ll see how we can
work with staff to make that the best run you’ve had,” said Mayor Nancy Cooper. For more on Bike For Your Life, visit www.bikeforyourlife.com. The $25 adult registration fee ($50 for families, $5 for children 18 and under) includes a barbecue lunch hosted by the Shuswap Lady Striders, live local entertainment and draw prizes. The 2012 and 2013 rides raised more than $8,300 for the Salmon Arm Second Harvest Food Bank.
Donations needed to fight children’s cancer By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF
For the second time, Jim Maybee will be hopping on his bike and taking off on a two-day trek from Vancouver to Seattle. The Ride to Conquer Cancer, which began in 1935, will be taking place on June 14 to 15. All funds will go to the BC Cancer Foundation. “I was intrigued because I had been looking for something to do for the cause, and
since I’m into cycling it just made sense,” said Maybee, who runs Trailheads Bike and Ski Repairs. Maybee was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2001 and, although cured, cancer has been present in his life through the loss of friends and family. “It’s made me more aware that nobody is immune,” said Maybee. “We have to do our best to figure out a cure so we don’t lose good people to this disease.” In order to ride,
Maybee must raise $2,500. His overall goal is $3,000, which will go towards juvenile cancer, a cause that Maybee personally selected. Maybee’s own children, Olivia and Cole, as well as stories at last year’s race of children diagnosed with cancer, inspired Maybee to focus his energy on helping the children. Maybee will be riding for the Riders for Ryders team, which has raised over $1 million for cancer research
Jim Maybee Riding against canceR
since 2009. Last year, Maybee travelled about 265 kilometres during the ride, but this year he’s taking the challenge
route, which covers more than 300 km. of trail. “I want to show people that I’m willing to go further and harder and get out of my comfort zone,” said Maybee. “It’s hard to ask people for money but at the same time this isn’t going to get done if somebody doesn’t hold feet to the fire and say, ‘hey, we have to this.’” To donate to Maybee’s ride, go to www. conquercancer.ca and search his name.

Jewels off to valley championship After placing second in the league, Salmon Arm Secondary Junior Jewels cruised past third-place Vernon Secondary School 5-1 in the playoff semifinal on May 12 at Blackburn. With the win, the Jewels hosted fourthplace Fulton who upset first-place Seaton in the other semifinal. In the playoff final May 14 at Blackburn, Salmon Arm jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Cassidy Staley and Laura Beth Moore. The Jewels made a rare mistake on defence a few moments before halftime that allowed Fulton to cut the lead in half. The second half saw the team play a disciplined half and, although unable to extend their lead, their strong defensive play allowed

Equestrians at Topline Stables got the opportunity to learn from triple Olympic gold medalist Matt Ryan on May 14 and 15. Ryan, who is originally from Australia, taught jumping and cross-country skills to riders of all abilities. Becky Perkins, of Woodcreek Equestrian, used to train with Ryan in Europe and decided it would be a good idea to bring him out to train riders in Salmon Arm. This is the second year he has hosted the clinic. “We plan on getting him out once or twice a year to do clinics,” said Perkins. She said the goal of the clinic is to teach riders the fundamentals of cross-country while remaining safe.
Ryan has had an extensive riding career and has placed well in a number of events, including first place in the Badminton Horse Trials in 2008, and fourth in 2007. He also made history when he won the gold medal for Australia in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, making Australia the first nation to win gold for three consecutive years. Ryan recently took a leave from competitive riding due to injuries, and he now focuses on teaching. “What I like best is seeing people improve over the clinic,” said Ryan, adding he’s happy to see people buying into his riding philosophy though it may be different from the way they’ve been taught in the past. “Everyone here is finishing really positively,” said Ryan.

Getting inside a horse’s mind Equestrians of all ages gathered in Salmon Arm to learn more from Dr. Andrew McLean, one of the world’s leading authorities on equine behaviour and learning theory. McLean’s groundbreaking work in equine cognition, and his method of teaching horses through the use of simple, readily understood ‘aids,’ has helped riders worldwide develop a more humane way of training their horses. “Tradition can take us so far, but there are quite a few pitfalls of tradition. One of them is the way we understand what is going on in the horse’s head,” says McLean, whose first equine career was as a competitor in Olympic equestrian

Healing through dance By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
F
irst Nations fancy dancer Ernie Philip finds joy in dancing – a joy that is encapsulated in Dancing Bear, a documentary on his life from Canadian filmmaker Ben Ged Low. Philip’s ability and gentle sense of humour have brought joy to many. A member of the Little Shuswap Indian Band, Philip has danced across the world, before queens and other heads of state at their invitation. He has presented and performed for schools, powwows, festivals, conventions and exhibitions. The Aboriginal Tourism Association of BC honoured him with their Ambassador Award in 2008 and Okanagan College recognized him as an honorary fellow in 2013 for his contribution and leadership in cultural awareness. There is much to take pride in. But there is a darkness inside that still overwhelms him. The dancing that has earned the Secwepemc elder more than 130 awards at powwows was learned as a youngster behind the tightly closed curtains of his grandfather’s house. The harsh reality was that what Philip was doing to honour and celebrate his rich cultural heritage, was outlawed by church and government, just as it was at the residential school he was forced to attend in Kamloops. While Philip can keep the memories at bay for months at a time, the power of the brutal treatment
he and thousands of other First Nations people endured surfaces, and with them come the tears. “Just the thought, the punishment, the hurt, the slaps, the punching, the work,” he says quietly. “They made you work at 5 in the morning, at 6 milk cows, then go to church. “We never got to see our parents, not until summertime when we went home in June, but our parents used to work all the time at farms.” Philip says that sometimes the tears come unexpectedly while he’s driving. Sometimes he stops to cry. “I don’t know how my people can do it; it was hard all the time,” he says, pointing out the rage at the treatment First Nations people received may be buried, deep, but is still lurking. “There’s so many little things to deal with. We don’t even get to first base – like residential school – we suffered for that.” First Nations people also suffered through the loss of their land and their way of life. “We were free, we lived on the land and celebrated, we had plenty of food,” he says. “Now my people don’t know how to survive; they’re hungry, in pain and it’s sad. Our whole way of life was torn apart.” Philip says First Nations people deserve to receive a settlement for all their suffering, even if it is a token offering. “I don’t care if it’s 50 bucks, 25, at least something,” he says. “If it happened to another race of people they would sue for millions, but not for natives.”
As to the success of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Philip says that will depend on the country’s leaders. A gentle and gracious man with a generous sense of humour, the 84-year-old always finds solace in his dancing. “I put on the regalia and it takes away from the pain because people are smiling. It’s a good feeling, like we’ll say the way my forefathers were – happy and content.” Philip bemoans the fact his people have been unable to go back to their traditional ways and is saddened by the fact many nonnatives have a get-over-it attitude to what Canada’s aboriginals have suffered. “The non-natives, they don’t see too much. They think talking about it is a harmful thing, but the best thing is for them to understand,” he says, noting painful barriers remain between natives and non-natives. “Once you start understanding what happened, it would be better.” Philip is getting some help with that through Dancing Bear. Shown recently at Okanagan College, the feature-length film began as a cross-cultural attempt to understand the idea of truth and reconciliation in response to the residential school legacy. “It juxtaposes the grey desolate and often brutal life of residential schools and the vibrant world of powwows and drumming groups and the power of community celebration, dancing and laughter; it is a portal into what was, what is, and what can be – and a dedication

Philip, who was given the name Dancing Bear by members of the Sioux and Blackfoot nations, calls the film powerful. “I was just minding my own business, it just came about,” he says of becoming the subject of the film. Firmly settled in Gleneden, Philip looks back to his youth, a time when he could pick up and go, a time when he travelled thousands of miles on the rodeo or powwow circuit. Sadly, he believes that although he had to work “triple times harder”
than non-natives in his jobs in B.C. mines, forestry and on the railroad, it is harder for his children. “It’s a tough life out there, they have to work all the time to prove themselves to be accepted,” he says, noting he began his railroad career at the age of 17. “I had worked all my life and it was better because I was accepted.” At the thought of his beloved dancing, Philip brightens. “I tell people, even if you lost part of your heritage, have pride in your identity,” he says. “I put on the beadwork – my identity. That’s really important, the dancing joy and respect. Nobody could take it away and that’s how I feel, the pride and joy.”

Health fair caters to bears Take your children and their favourite teddies to Shuswap Hospice’s inaugural Teddy Bear Hospital & Community Health Fair at McGuire Lake from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 1. The focus will of the new event is on fun activities and fundraising, as well as sharing memories. Children can take their bears to the Teddy Bear Hospital for a medical check-up at an outdoor emergency room manned by physicians and hospital staff. The entrance fee is $5 per bear, but the children’s area will also feature free face-painting and other fun activities. Health-care professionals will be on-site to provide information on their services and to answer questions at the Community Health Fair. Seniors will walk with or without assistance around McGuire Lake in a Seniors Memory Walk for Hospice. Participants are asked to gather pledges in support of their walk. Individuals and teams are also invited to gather pledges and participate in the walk along the foreshore nature path to Raven. “We are hoping that health and wellness-oriented businesses will participate by setting up a booth,” says fundraising committee chair Sue McCrae. “We’re hoping to have more than 500 children and their families take part in this event, so this

will provide great exposure to businesses and give them an opportunity to help Shuswap Hospice. Food vendors are also welcome.” Sponsors are also needed to make this event a success, says McCrae. “We would be grateful for any donation or assistance. Corporate sponsors or monetary donations are always necessary for these kinds of community events to be successful. We would also love to see businesses get involved by actually participating, by getting teams together for one of the Memory Walks or by volunteering.” The money raised at this event helps Shuswap Hospice carry out its increasing demand for services around the Shuswap.

Meet police, help Megan Police fair: Event to say thanks and raise funds.
By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
If all goes according to plan, you’ll be able to experience the world of policing from the inside out. What happens to a person (or crash test dummy) who is not wearing a seat-belt when a vehicle rolls? The ‘roll-over simulator’ will demonstrate. What’s it like to navigate an obstacle course while impaired? Special ‘drunk goggles’ will give you an idea. The Salmon Arm RCMP are holding a Police Fair, Auction and Community Appreciation Day on Sunday, May 25, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Shaw Centre. Although not all the demonstrations can be confirmed ahead of time, features of the day planned include: a chance to see inside a police car and the special truck used by a traffic accident analyst; radar speed testing of baseball throws; finding fingerprints and clues with the forensic identification section; photos with a police horse ridden by an officer in red serge; a demonstration by police dog services; a possible visit from the police helicopter and the underwater recovery team; a look at the police boat; and a chance to see the police tacti-
cal team – or riot squad – and the emergency response team. Along with using the ‘drunk goggles,’ visitors can also try driving a scooter as well as texting while driving to
Megan Leverrier NEEDS TRANSPLANT
see how many cones they knock down. There will also be an opportunity to find out more about auxiliary constables, citizens’ patrol, victim services and becoming a police officer. Also taking place will be a barbecue and bake sale. In addition to providing a chance for police to thank the community for its support, proceeds of the day’s admission-by-donation will go to four-year-old Megan Leverrier. She is in Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children awaiting a liver transplant made neces-
sary by a rare tumour growing on her liver. Her father, Jaimie Leverrier, is a police office with the Salmon Arm detachment. Both he and her mom, Michelle, her little brother Gavin and her grandparents have been staying in Toronto. “The main reason that we’re doing it is to raise funds, but it’s also a good opportunity to come and meet everyone and interact with the police in a positive light,” says Const. Mike Dibblee, a good friend of Leverrier’s and one of the event’s organizers. Also at the police fair will be a live and silent auction as well as Miracle for Megan
bracelets, both fundraisers for the family. Once Megan receives a transplant, she and her family will have to stay three to four months in Toronto. On May 14, her family posted on the Miracle for Megan Facebook page that Megan had walked by herself the day before. “She couldn’t be prouder and we couldn’t be prouder!” they wrote. “Megan is also getting over a cold right now so she is on hold for a transplant until her symptoms have passed (not so great news). She is also scheduled for a cat scan this week to see how her liver looks.”

Ritter unleashes the beast Always on the lookout for cutting edge folk talent, the Salmon arm Roots and Blues is pleased to welcome a performer that has been hailed by critics for his thoughtful, intelligent and unique lyrics. Renowned singersongwriter, guitarist and author Josh Ritter was interested in music as a child but it wasn’t until, as a teenager, he first heard Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan singing Girl from the North Country, that his passion was ignited. “Hearing that record was like meeting the person you’re going to marry,” says Ritter, who then bought his first guitar. After graduating from college in 1999, Ritter recorded and released his selftitled debut. Signature Sounds Recordings gave him exposure on a national level, and the four- and five-star reviews started rolling in. Over a 14-day span in 2003, Ritter recorded his third album, Hello Starling. His much anticipated follow up, Animal Years, arrived in March 2006. This was also the same year Paste Magazine named him one of the “100 Greatest Living Songwriters” alongside names like Dylan, Springsteen and Neil Young. Other albums followed: The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter (2007), So Runs the World Away (2010) and The Beast in Its Tracks (2013).
The Beast in Its Tracks continues Ritter’s longtime collaboration with producer and keyboard player Sam Kassirer. “Far from the grand, sweeping feel of the songs on So Runs the World Away, these new songs felt like rocks in the shoe, hard little nuggets of whatever they were, be it spite, remorse, or happiness. “I hadn’t composed this stuff, I’d scrawled it down, just trying to keep ahead of the heartbreak,” Ritter says. Tickets for Roots and Blues Festival are

DON McMILLAN Don McMillan passed from this world to join his wife and life partner, Ivy, on January 9, 2014. Don is best defined as a ‘family guy’… he loved his family more than anything and unabashedly demonstrated it. Don was born in Ontario Jan 5, 1930 but sadly lost his mother at the tender age of three which fractured his ‘family unit’. Don, along with his younger brother, Dwayne and oldest brother, Dean, were sent to live with relatives, while another brother, Austin, went to live with different relatives. This tragic loss made Don determined to keep family at the forefront of his life thereafter. Don worked hard throughout his life doing a variety of jobs but mainly a heavy equipment operator building dams and highways, mining, and, Don’s personal favorite, logging. Don’s jobs kept his family on the move every few years with the final stop in Salmon Arm in 1970, which became the family base for the next 34 years. Don then traveled for work on his own, so missed much of the family functions for several years. He was injured while working on the Coquihala Hwy in the mid-eighties and was forced to retire early. Don and Ivy had five children, Robert (Bobby), Dean, Sheryl, Gene and Reginald (Reg) but were sadly predeceased by Bobby in 1954 and Gene in 1986. Don and Ivy have eight grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. Don lost his wife, Ivy, to cancer after 47 years of marriage, on Sep 17,1998. Don supported Ivy in everyway possible during her difficult and painful journey and was left exhausted and heartbroken on her passing. Don’s next chapter brought him to Victoria to be close to his daughter, Sheryl, for his final years and was very active with the family assisting with every move, with house building, landscaping, babysitting etc. He took up exploring every corner of Victoria and Sidney with a vengeance, hiking and bicycling, not to mention his agility at a fast game of nerf-gun with his great grandboys. In May 2012, while at the beach visiting with family and friends, Don had his hip broken when caught in the midst of a dog-walker’s pack of five. This changed Don’s ability to ‘enjoy’ his life and he was waiting for a hip replacement when he suffered another medical emergency requiring yet another surgery on Sep 17, 2013. He was unable to recover fully and after 3 long months in hospital, passed away peacefully in the company of much of his family, including his older brother, Austin. He was at peace and felt fortunate to be able to say goodbye. At Don’s request, there will be no formal service, however, we will be gathering in Salmon Arm on Sunday, August 3, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. to honour our dad, grandpa, pappy, great-papa, brother, uncle and friend by laying an engraved memorial brick on the McGuire Lake Memorial Walkway. We will get together afterward at one of Don and Ivy’s favorite haunts, Herald’s Park, for a day in the sun to celebrate his life, share some stories and remind each other of the importance of loving relationships until we meet again on ‘the other side’.

MCKERGOW, JUDITH ELIZABETH It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend Judy at her home on May 6, 2014 at the age of 67 years. Judy was born on July 8, 1946 in Vernon BC and was predeceased by her mother Louise (nee Paynter) McKergow and also her father John McKergow. She is survived by her sister, Joan Pawluski of Vernon and her brother Stafford McKergow of Kelowna, BC. Judy moved to Salmon Arm in 1984 and was active in her community, attending Western Human Resources Day Program and loving music therapy and bowling league. She also loved swimming, dancing, singing, music as well as coffee or lunch outings with friends. She also loved playing cards and dominoes. One of Judy’s highlights of her life was travelling to Mexico with friends. In her later years she became a regular attendee of Friendship Church and Camp Amasa and loved the new friends she made there. A service to honour Judy’s life was held at Bowers Funeral Chapel on May 13, 2014 at 1:00 pm with Jack Stefanyk the celebrant. Judy will be lovingly remembered by her lifelong friends and staff at 2010 Foothills Rd, Salmon Arm, Online condolences may be sent through Judy’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com IN LOVING MEMORY OF GLORIA BODA At the age of 65 Gloria Boda rejoiced in heaven with her Mother Leona, father William, brothers Bill, Gary, Michael, and sister June. Gloria left behind a loving husband Louis, daughter Lori (Serge) of Grande Prairie, AB, sons, Dwain from Trail, Louis Jr. from Salmon Arm; nine grandchildren, and 2 great grandsons. Also five siblings, Melvin (Faye) from Cambell River, Barb & Ken from Courtney, Mark (Donna) from Maple Ridge and Jamie from Maple Ridge. Many nieces and nephews. Gloria was a very relentless worker for the Salvation Army, helping many people along the way and will be greatly missed by them. Gloria was a kind and gentle soul whose heart and smile touched everyone she met. All who knew Gloria are deeply sadden with the loss of such an amazing friend, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Though she only stood five feet tall she never took no gump from anyone. Gloria was known best for her infectious smile and her generous acts of selflessness. Though she may no longer carry on beside us her presence will forever remain in the hearts of those she loved. Rest in peace Mom. Online condolences may be sent through Gloria’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com
