Teachers’ job action escalates By Chelsea Grainger OBSeRVeR STAFF

The ongoing job action by teachers, which is now a full-scale strike, continues to make waves across School district #83. On Monday, teachers and their supporters from throughout the district were in Salmon Arm. carrying picket signs and banners, they walked through downtown, stopping at the school district office, as well as that of Shuswap MlA Greg Kyllo, to make themselves heard. The full-scale strike began on Tuesday, with teachers seeking smaller class sizes, more classroom support and a pay raise. Over the weekend, the Bc Teachers Federation (BcTF) dropped their wage demands to eight per cent over five years from the previous 9.75 over four plus annual cost-of-living adjustments. The Bc Public School employer’s Association (BcPSeA) proposed a wage increase of 7.25, up from their initial offer of seven per cent, but a deal could not be reached in time to avert the strike. each side is saying it’s up to the other to decide if a deal can be reached or not. In anticipation of the potential strike, students packed up their belongings on Friday – quite possibly the last school day of the year. Although classes are currently cancelled, School district #83 issued a statement that graduation ceremonies and provincial exams will See strike on page A2

Blind Bay shooting: Police link 2011 homicide to verbal dispute. By Kathy Michaels BlAcK PReSS

Some of the mystery lingering over a 2011 gangland-style killing in Blind Bay was lifted at a Kelowna press conference Monday morning, where Mounties announced a significant break in the case. Williams lake resident Jeremy Wayne davis, 24, and Mission resident Jordan larry Barnes, 27, were arrested last week and each face a charge of second-degree murder for the death of Sorrento man, nicholas cole larsen. “The Southeast district Major crime unit led the investigation which determined that larsen, 24, was shot while travelling in a friend’s vehicle in what appeared to be a targeted attack,” said Insp.

Strike creates uncertainty go ahead as planned; however, report cards will not be issued as they have not been declared an essential service. Graduating students at Salmon Arm Secondary are still concerned about missing the last few weeks of their high school years. “It definitely affects my study habits,” said Madeleine Genn, a Grade 12 student. Genn says that most teachers use every day to teach their students information that is vital to final exams, and that not having the time messes with the

students’ learning. Jamie Oosterhuis, who is also graduating from SAS, said she and her peers are upset. “We think that the teachers deserve the best, but them walking out on us during the most crucial time of the year really compromises not only our learning, but our final grades as well,” said Oosterhuis. “I personally feel that the government, along with the teachers, could find a better way to resolve their issues than creating more problems for the students.” Grade 12 student Ariana Sholinder says she has mixed feelings

Christina Peake Parent about the dispute, and where it has left graduating students. “I do support the teachers, but it’s been really hard to have so much uncertainty in my last couple weeks of my high school career,” said Sholinder. “It’s demoralizing.” Parents of students

in School District #83 have also been voicing their opinions on the matter. Christina Peake and Kerrie Hollatz showed up to picket alongside teachers at Hillcrest Elementary on Thursday, June 11. Peake said she thinks the media has been unfairly portraying the teachers’ side of the dispute. “It’s not about the money,” said Peake. “It’s about class sizes and composition.” Peake and Hollatz said they fully support the teachers. “The kids are our future, how can you not be in support?” asked Peake.

Continued from front pain of losing their son, Shelley and Bo Larsen said news of the arrest brought them feelings of “peace and elation” for the first time in three years. It did not, however, bring forgiveness for those accused. “The reckless, calculated decision to murder Nick over something as trivial as a verbal confrontation has forever changed the lives of so many innocent people,” said Shelley, to her son’s alleged killers. “We believe you are exactly where you deserve to be.” Bo offered thanks to

first with him,” he said in 2011. Bo said his son loved animals and the outdoors, but his first priority was his family. He had a special fondness for his young nieces, liking to spoil them with presents and outings. “He was loved by all. His humour and personality were next to none. I’ve never known him to go out and harm someone. I don’t care who you talk to, they’ll tell you the same thing.” Davis, who was arrested in Williams Lake, was scheduled to make his first court appearance on Monday in a Kamloops courtroom.

Barnes, who was arrested in Kelowna the day after Davis was apprehended, was also scheduled to answer to the charges on Monday.

Ranchero building a total loss By tracy hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Fire crews were called out Friday night to fight a fully engulfed residential structure fire in the area of the Friesen Business Complex on the Mellor’s Frontage Road, but the structure was a total loss. The fire call-out took place at approximately 8:42 p.m. and crews worked until just after midnight. “The 911 calls came from people on the highway. The fire went up very rapidly and was fully involved when fire crews from the Ranchero Firehall arrived,” said Kenn Mount, CSRD fire services co-ordinator. Approximately 20 firefighters from the Ranchero Firehall responded and the Salmon Arm Fire Department assisted by supplying one water

tender truck to supplement the water capabilities of the area. The structure was a complex of rental units, made up of some older mobile trailer units linked together with a roof structure. All the units were vacant at the time of the fire. A few adjacent trees caught fire and were extinguished, but the fire was not allowed to spread to any other nearby structures. There was minor damage to a mini-van that was parked in front of the blazing structure. “The joined roof certainly complicated the firefighting conditions,” said Mount. “It was a total loss, low in terms of actual dollar value, but the owner had no insurance coverage.” Mount said one firefighter had to be treated for minor smoke inhalation, but there

By tim petruk The Shuswap man believed by American authorities to be a crossborder drug kingpin has been granted bail pending the appeal of his extradition to Seattle. Colin Hugh Martin was granted bail in Vancouver last week while his extradition is appealed. In May, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled Martin should be sent to the U.S. to face charges for conspiracy to traffic in cocaine.

U.S. prosecutors allege Martin, who lives in Malakwa, ran a sophisticated, large-scale smuggling ring that saw millions of dollars worth of marijuana, cocaine, MDMA and firearms transported by helicopter between B.C. and remote locations in northern Idaho and Washington state. Court heard Martin would hire people in B.C. to load the helicopters with as much as $5-million worth of marijuana or MDMA, then pay pilots to fly the choppers to pre-deter-

In addition to fire crews, police, BC Ambulance, gas and hydro workers were all on scene. Mount says the cause of the blaze is currently undetermined. “We couldn’t even really get in there to investigate, as there was too much destruction, it was unsafe to even go into the area. The

fire was the most intense on the west side and we are still hearing from witnesses, but right now we have no probable cause.” Mount complimented the efficient work of the Ranchero firefighters. “They did a really good job controlling the scene, I was really impressed with that,” he said.

mined locations across the U.S.-Canada border. The haul of B.C. bud or pills would allegedly be unloaded by a ground crew in the U.S., and cocaine, firearms and money would be loaded into the helicopter for transport back to Canada. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency investigation into the operation resulted in multiple arrests on both sides of the border. American prosecutors have charged Martin with conspiracy to possess with the intent

to distribute. They want him to stand trial in Seattle. Martin was arrested after he was ordered extradited on May 9. He was granted bail largely because of the health of his wife, who has a heart condition, and her inability to care for the couple’s seven children. Martin has been ordered to abide by a 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. curfew while on bail and will be forced to allow police to search his home at any time. It’s not known when his appeal will be heard.

Animals seized by SPCA By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF

Officials from the BC SPCA removed animals from a residence at 910 Okanagan Ave. Thursday afternoon. At least three dogs and approximately 12 animals crates containing cats and possibly other small animals were brought out of the home and loaded into multiple white trucks. The animals were taken to the Shuswap SPCA shelter for care and examination. It is not known why the animals were removed from the home. The Salmon Arm RCMP indicate they were in attendance as the animals were seized as a precaution to keep the peace. “We are still processing animals, so there’s not much I can tell you at this point,” said Kathy Woodward,

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Ride beats down stigma Shame thrives in dark corners and in whispered remarks. It plays on our biggest fears: rejection, isolation, unworthiness. It festers in a place where people feel they are going to be looked upon by others and judged harshly or found to be personally inadequate. Shame lives in the shadows, it weighs on people’s minds like a heavy stone. It doesn’t thrive in the presence of light, fresh air, sunshine and movement. It is beaten back when groups of people gather, unafraid to make a statement. It gets run down by the power of many feet pushing their bike pedals. This is the spirit of the Ride Don’t Hide event, which is being held Sunday, June 22 in Salmon Arm. Sponsored by Shoppers Drug Mart and hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association, the community bike ride has the goal of strengthening and supporting the mental health of women and their families. Each community event is a ride, not a race, for riders of all ages and abilities – from novice rider to the advanced cyclist. In addition to enjoying the physical and mental health benefits of exercise, riders help break the stigma associated with mental illness by joining others to make a statement that mental illness is not something for people to be ashamed about. According to the CMHA, one in five Canadians will suffer from a mental illness in their lifetime. Suicide, the most extreme outcome of mental illness, accounts for 24 per cent of all deaths among people aged 15 to 24, and is one of the leading causes of death from adolescence to middle age. Another telling statistic is that only one-third of those who need mental health services in Canada actually receive them. I know people often don’t want to admit they are struggling and how hard it can be to ask for help with mental illness. I was one of them. That’s why I so admired Michael Schratter, a Vernon teacher who has struggled with bipolar and who began his own Ride Don’t Hide 40,000 kilometre biking crusade to raise both funds and awareness for mental illness. He put himself and his issues out there and, in doing so, let people know that he is not ashamed and others should not be either. The event is Salmon Arm begins at the Little Mountain Sports Fields and consists of a 10-km family ride or a 32-km cyclist ride. Registration begins at 8 a.m. with the longer-distance cyclists pushing off at 9 a.m. and the family riders heading out at 9:45. Street routes will be marked at supported by volunteers, including water stations. Presentations will be made at 11 a.m. Fees are $35 and include a T-shirt. Kids 12 and under can ride for free. Other donations and pledges are encouraged and more information can be found on the web at www.ridedonthide.com. Funds raised will support programs in our area. Joining the ride would help show that you care about mental health and assist people in getting care and support in their recovery.

Editorial

Justice moves at glacial pace The recent tragedy in Moncton, where

three Mounties were allegedly murdered by a local resident, is far from being resolved. Yes, a suspect surrendered after a manhunt that paralyzed the city for more than 24 hours, in an incident eerily similar to the pursuit of the Boston Marathon bombers. But the Moncton issue is just getting started. Sadly, this case will be open for a long time, despite the plethora of witnesses, and video evidence. Should be cut-and-dried, no? Not in Canada. Pity. This case will be dragged out in court, no doubt costing the taxpayers millions of dollars. We’ve seen it all before, far too often. There is the 2011 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver. There are accused in that incident

that have still not had their day in court! In comparison, there was a similar riot in the streets of London, in August of 2011. Within four days of those riots, more than 1,000 rioters had been charged, and sentences were being handed out within a week. Section 11 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ensures of the right to a fair and speedy trial. “Speedy” is indeed a relative term. Even a melting glacier does so at a speed. Do we have the worst judicial system in the world? Of course not. Far from it. But it’s far from the best, either. And for those seeking closure in Moncton, that day will not come anytime soon. -Comox Valley Record

Ontario election lessons Family applauds RCMP dedication as they apply to B.C. BC VIEWS

VICTORIA – “Liberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics. Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation. In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion. In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit. This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liberals unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa. You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigating the $1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gas-fired power plants before the 2011 election. The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant Samsung. The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan. B.C. has a similar pension program in

the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer. Ours would, of course, be voluntary. Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments. The Ontario model is dumb on several levels. It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry. And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manufacturing base and needs to innovate. Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in Ontario. Wynne tabled her spendingspree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election. Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree. Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night. B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version. For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia. If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

We were moved by the dedication of the RCMP officers in Moncton a few weeks ago. Our hearts go out to the families and co-workers of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We quickly thought of the many RCMP officers in our town of Salmon Arm and wanted to take the opportunity to thank them for their service – everyday – day in and day out. The commitment they have made to our safety, and the safety of all of our fellow residents, whether these residents appreciate them and what they do . . . or not. We can rest assured that no matter what, if the need is there, they will come and do all they can to pre-

serve the peace, bring peace, protect and serve us in so many ways. We want to thank the RCMP officers of Salmon Arm for their dedication and commitment. And we want to thank their spouses and families for letting them go – every day – to serve and protect our community. Our prayers are with you that you may be safe, that you may have wisdom in the many situations you must face and that you know you are appreciated when you head out for the day – every day. The Spyksma family

Teachers should look at another side It is most unfortunate the majority of the teachers in B.C. are such militant workers. They say it is for the good of the students but that is a bunch of B.S. They are only interested in themselves. They work about two-thirds of the year as opposed to the average worker in B.C., having a week or two off in March, a week or two at Christmas and two months in the summer and they think they are underpaid. Well, they ought to open their eyes and take a close look at the other side. These people know, or should, the parameters of a vocation before they decide on their future like anyone else who decides on a career. The worst thing that ever happened was to give

teachers the right to strike. It is an essential service to our children and teachers should assume more responsibility toward them and parents. Fortunately, I am retired and don’t have grandchildren in school but if I was a parent and my child was supposed to graduate this year and because of the teachers’ position, I would sue them if my child was jeopardized. We had no problem with class sizes and everyone seemed to learn and receive the education we needed to continue our careers. Gordon Partridge, Blind Bay

Corporate partnership raises questions Recently I have been noticing some articles and ads with City of Salmon Arm and Economic Development logos joined with Telus logos that are causing me concern. I do not understand why the city and ec-dev are touting the benefits of Telus fibre optics coming to town and favouring an out-of-town company over local companies that offer comparable services. The Telus fibre optics are not going out to the reserve or outlying neighbourhoods without broadband services, so they are not servicing any areas that are not already well-served by local companies. Will Telus contribute to our local economy the way Shaw (previously SunCountry Cable) and the other smaller local telecommunication companies do? Shaw contributes to many local initiatives, most notably the Shaw Centre. Additionally, Shaw Cable, Mascon Cable, Airspeed Wireless, and several other local companies have offices in town, employ many local residents,

and contribute in numerous ways to our local economy. As far as I know Telus has no local office and employs only three full-time employees. Is this what we want for Salmon Arm? Do our local officials know enough about the Internet infrastructure and services already in place to determine that Telus will offer some better service to us? Do they know Sun Country Cable placed fibre throughout Salmon Arm years ago? Have they done their due diligence regarding who contributes most to our community? As a retired businessman I understand the benefit and importance of competition, but how does it benefit our community, or local businesses, for our local leaders to stand behind out-of-towners over local businesses that have been operating in the area for over 35 years?

ARIES (March 21-April 19): This week will highlight the need to communicate your feelings to family and within your home environment. There is great opportunity for you to have a financial breakthrough by realizing and using your talents. Expect some delays and confusion with travel and communicating with those in your local environment, but this will only lead to more clarity and greater opportunities! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Confusion might set in with regards to finances, so please expect delays and miscommunication in that area now. There is an emphasis on your being compassionate this week and the more you are, the greater the opportunities will be for you. Communicate compassionately and emphasize generosity of spirit. By the end of the week, that energy will come back to you tenfold. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This week will start off slightly confusing, miscommunications, having to re-prioritize your commitments, and general delays. Do not let this get you down, there is a great opportunity for you to feel at peace and have that happy go lucky feel to you. Greater finances are coming your way, but first you must emotionally understand your position at work and in the public. CANCER (June 21-July 22): This week will start off with you feeling less confused. Allow for random thoughts to trigger more understanding for you. Abundance is on its way through networking with friends, and generally money coming in through your career. If you are single, then this could be a time when you meet that special someone. Allow for your perspective to change and let go of the past! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This week will start off with some confusion for you. You might not see it at the start, but this week will prove to be just what is needed to let go of past instinctual reactions at work, throughout your daily routine and within your health regime. Greater value will be placed upon you on a public level. This will prove to be just what you need to let go of past fears and find greater confidence. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This week will start off with your friendships, perhaps a nostalgic look back at those who have helped you along your path in life, especially within your career. Expect some delays, but all in all, the universe is simply asking you to slow down a bit. Greater abundance is preparing to enter your life. Let go of pain and old wounds, welcome in laughter and fun times ahead!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This week will offer you a new perspective on your current circumstances. Female friends and your mother will offer you much needed communications to settle your thoughts on the future. Fears will be let go of and financial aid or support will be offered to you. Watch out for an old injury to reoccur now, if you are not careful. More compassion is in store now! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This week will start off with delays and miscommunications with loved ones or business partnerships. There is a greater opportunity for you to see eye to eye if you allow for some space to understand each other’s perspective. Perhaps you both share the same values but are looking at the issue from two separate angles. Allow for healing to occur as these perspectives merge. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This week starts off with you rethinking past relationships even past working partnerships. Perhaps an old boyfriend will re-emerge and this will leave you with many questions and slightly confused. This is happening to re-establish your value amongst others, to review and revisit past relations and to learn something new. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This week will mark a time when you will be reviewing and rethinking your daily routine, your health, and work. Please expect some delays in those areas of life and allow for these minor bumps to realize what is truly important to you. There is absolute greater love and harmony within your significant relationships whether you are in the best circumstance or not. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This week will start off with some miscommunications, or simply rethinking what you would like to do to have fun. Perhaps, how you would like to add a bit more romance into your life. As the week progresses, much advancement can be made in those areas and greater enjoyment will be had. See and live the blessings of simply being and enjoying the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This week will start off with you rethinking your home life, perhaps communicating with your father to allow you to gain some clarity. How you express yourself and who you spend time with having fun this week will surely have a pleasant and loving air to it.

Jackson Park: Council may include in next budget. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

After attending an open house in North Canoe, Mayor Nancy Cooper said she thinks the city might have been remiss in not asking enough questions of the public before planning new playground equipment for Jackson Park in Canoe. Cooper was addressing the June 16 meeting of the city’s planning committee. “I’m bringing it back to you to see what we could do about it...” The old equipment was removed because it no longer met national safety standards. The new equipment, worth about $74,000 and to be installed this month, is non-traditional, including a canoe, a ‘lake’ and rocks with a climbing rope, designed to enhance imaginative play. City staff explained the park upgrade has been on the books since 2012 and then went through the parks master plan process, where numerous consultations were held with groups. Further consultation was done in the fall of 2013. Couns. Debbie Cannon and Ken Jamieson said the open house on June 5 would have been better scheduled before the equipment was ordered. However, they weren’t aware the open house wasn’t intended to be about the park. Canoe resident Louise Wallace Richmond,

a member of the board which runs the Downtown Activity Centre in Salmon Arm and the North Canoe Hall committee, told the Observer the open house was held to gather input on improvements to the hall, across the street from the park. “The only reason they hosted the open house is because the Downtown Activity Centre wanted to engage the community in a conversation about what to do with the hall now that we’re getting a new park. It wasn’t about the new park... ‘While we’re here, this is what the park’s going to look like, what should we do

with the hall?’” However, that led to strong complaints from some people – mainly about the wish for a slide, swings and more seating – and about lack of consultation. Wallace Richmond said she thinks the city could have done a better job of explaining to the neighbourhood why the old park had to go, but that’s now a moot point. She emphasizes her approval of council’s wish to invest in Canoe. “I want the city to know we care that they care about Canoe.” After discussion at Monday’s meeting, council agreed to consider the addition of

a slide and swings in the next budget year, if there’s room in the park. Jamieson added he always favours finding more ways to consult. Although Cooper suggested staff investigate prices, Coun. Marg Kentel said to wait for budget time. “There are people who come forward all the time and we’re not Santa Claus here,” said Kentel. “I’m all for Canoe getting more, I think they’ve been left out in some way... “I’m fine with the process, I think council did it exactly right. I’ve sat here long enough to know you can’t make everybody happy.”

Help take the pulse of the Shuswap By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Beautiful scenery, temperate climate, sweet Shuswap home. What else is there to celebrate? What could be better? What is missing? The Shuswap Community Foundation is seeking public input for a Vital Signs Report. The foundation has gathered information from various sources including community businesses in the Shuswap and government statistical reports. Residents are now invited to grade the area on such key issues as the environment, the gap between rich and poor, ease of mobility and more in a short survey available online at www.shuswapfoundation.ca. “The survey is meant to be the opinions of the general public as to how we’re doing on various issues in this community,” says foundation vice-president Karen Angove, who notes residents of

Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Electoral areas C South Shuswap, D Silver Creek/Ranchero, E Rural Sicamous and F North Shuswap are encouraged to have their say. She calls the survey a starting point, a way to discover what problems exist in the Shuswap and how the foundation might be able to fund projects related to areas in need. Angove says the process has been a real (and not always pleasant) eye-opener. “A lot of issues are hidden – homelessness with young people, not necessarily on the street because they’re couch surfing,” she says. “We had a community meeting with the safe house and they told us that spousal abuse, elder abuse and child abuse are up, and that rapes increase in the summer.” Angove maintains a community that is aware of its strengths and weaknesses can become a stronger, healthier place.

Three questions to keep in mind as you respond to the survey are: 1. When you picture a healthy, connected community, what stands out? 2. What is our community doing well? What is working? What do you love about our community? 3. Where are the opportunities for improvement? Not only is the survey expected to yield detailed statistical data, the subsequent report will provide a subjective sense of the Shuswap’s vitality as it relates to 10 key issue areas. This is not a test of knowledge, only a way for the foundation to measure people’s opinions and perceptions and see how they line up with scientific data. Residents are asked to complete the survey by June 30. To learn more contact the Shuswap Community Foundation office at 250-832-5428 or email info@shuswapfoundation.ca.

Being deaf or hard of hearing can no doubt be a struggle, but for one Salmon Arm Secondary Student, it has become something she embraces. Grade 12 student Kennedy Gerlitz, recently took part in the Optimist International Communication Contest for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in April. Gerlitz brought home second place. Gerlitz was required to give a speech on the topic of passions and how they impact the world. She focused on talking about her own passion, which is eating healthy, being active and having a positive body image. “Passion is what helps you go through life,” say Gerlitz. “It’s what makes you happy.” Her performance gained her the chance

to compete at a higher level of the competition in Oregon on May 19, where she scooped up second place. Gerlitz has been competing for the past four years, but this year is the first time she has placed so high. “It’s a weird feeling, and a good feeling,” said Gerlitz. “I’ve been doing this for four years, it’s been a lot of practise.” Gerlitz said the best part about competing is the people she meets. Gerlitz said the toughest part of dealing with being deaf and hard of hearing is that

some people don’t always understand what people can and can not hear. “We grow up in a hearing environment, and some people don’t understand,” said Gerlitz. “It can be difficult, but I’ve learned to embrace it and use it.” Now that her competing days are behind her, Gerlitz will be fulfilling her passion as she graduates and heads to university in human kinetics.

Relay for Life

1934

The Hon. A. Wells Gray, minister of lands, met the irrigation committee at the Montebello Hotel. The committee had asked the federal government to make a grant of approximately $100,000 to be spent on relief work for the installation of a gravity system of irrigation. J.L. Jackson, postmaster, planned to attend an international conference of postal officials in Windsor, Ont. It was expected he would take in the World’s Fair in Chicago on his return trip.

1944

The annual general meeting of the Fruit and Vegetable Workers’ Union took place in the Tavern Inn. The following officers were elected: K.M Cole, Eric Scales, Miss Mamie Hill, Miss Irene Koski, and T.J. Mack. Word was received that Pte. Earl Kernaghan, C.S.M Clarence Nelson and PO Lorne Daggett had arrived safely overseas.

1954

A delegation from the Salmon Arm Community Association N.S. Minion, Noel Dawson and S.A. Miller, told city council that a Vancouver architect estimated a sports arena could be built, without dressing rooms, seating and artificial ice for about $19,400. Building permits with a total value of $10,225 were issued in the city during May, G.A. Bickford, building inspector, reported to city council. The 1954 standard Volkswagen cost $1,595 and got 40 to 35 miles to the gallon.

Despite being down 10 teams from last year, Salmon Arm’s relay raised in excess of $120,000, with more coming in. An exhausted but elated Jen Dies, Canadian Cancer Society co-ordinator of community giving, said she was shocked and amazed at the way the Shuswap community responds every year. Among the most touching aspects of the event for Dies was the large number of survivors and caregivers who showed up despite a torrential downpour.

Teachers in training

Yoga lovers will be able to dive a little deeper into the practice. Nancy Whitticase, who has been doing yoga for 18 years, will be hosting the Namaste School of Yoga out of her studio, Namaste Yoga and Wellness Centre. The school will consist of a 200-hour practice that will allow participants to become certified yoga teachers. Whitticase says not everyone who registers for the school will do so because they want to teach. “Some people do it to get a little deeper in their practice. It’s for anybody that wants to know about themselves.” The teacher training will begin in October.

Thunderstorm sends firefighters scrambling By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Saturday’s thunderstorm had alarming consequences. At 4 p.m., firefighters were called out to a number of fire alarms in the city. Firefighters were first dis-

patched to Askew’s Downtown, with another alarm sounding at the Salmar Classic at the same time. Nine minutes later, an alarm sounded at First United Church. “It was likely lightning, it often causes a surge in the

power that activates alarms,” says fire chief Brad Shirley. At 4:52 p.m. firefighters were again dispatched, this time to a power pole fire in the alley between the Matchbox and the downtown branch of Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union.

“There were no major events, but we had a number of trucks running around the area,” Shirley said, noting the Salmon Arm Fire Department assisted the Ranchero Firehall Friday night at a fire by supplying a Gleneden Hall tender to shuttle water.

Suspect nabbed from lake Criminal charges are pending against a man who led RCMP on a chase and brandished a knife before being subdued in the waters of Shuswap Lake on Wednesday. At approximately 9 a.m., on June 11, police were on patrol in the Tappen area near Salmon Arm. A white F350 Ford pickup drove passed the officer. RCMP report the driver is known to police as a prolific offender involved in property crime. As the police officer began to turn his vehicle around, the driver sped away. The vehicle was found abandoned nearby and it was confirmed as being stolen from Kamloops two days earlier. Several police officers, with the assistance of a police dog, set up a containment area in the wooded area near the Tappen Mill. The suspect was sighted by police and following a foot chase, he waded out into a weedy area of Shuswap Lake to chest depth. The man then faced police while yelling and brandishing a knife. Two police officers and the police dog entered the water and were able to disarm the suspect. Police say the suspect is a heavy meth-amphetamine and heroin user. A search of the abandoned vehicle produced several items believed stolen, as well as a police scanner. The suspect remains in police custody and will be charged with several issues related to this incident. His name is not being released pending the formal approval of criminal charges.

They played with heart all season. What started out as a lengthy roster for the U18 Shuswap Selects in February diminished considerably throughout the season as injuries took their toll. More often than not the team was able to field only 12 or 13 players, yet they continued to play well, ending up in second place in their eight-team U16-U18 division with a 9-3-2 record, ahead of the U18 Kamloops Blaze. In their last league contest with their Kamloops rival a week earlier, Shuswap came out on top with a 1-0 score. However, in the U18 grouping, Salmon Arm and Kamloops were tied in the standings, a draw that was broken in Kamloops’ favour based on goal differential. As first-place Kamloops then received a bye, Shuswap took on Revelstoke under pounding rain Saturday

evening. They won that muddy contest 2-0. However, another win was not in the cards. Kamloops came out strong and fresh for Sunday’s final and left Shuswap struggling, scoring three goals in the first half and then shutting down the Selects. Coach David Knight, who led the boys to the provincials two years ago with assistant coach Ken Kantymir, has nothing but good things to say about the boys. “I could not be prouder of watching these boys grow up and into the team of men that they are now after coaching them for the past five years. “It was a hard way to end the season but I was never let down by their hard work and determination. We endured a lot of injuries this season and in the end I think the exhaustion caught up with them.

Kids’ Fishing Derby attracts hundreds The 18th Annual Salmon Arm Kids’ Fishing Derby, hosted by the Shuswap Recreation Society, took place under cold, grey skies this past Sunday morning, June 15 at the end of the wharf at Marine Park. In spite of the weather, more than 500 people showed up to take part. As in past years, it did not take long for the first fish to be caught. Anthony Materi received First Fish honours along with a plaque, a $100 education certificate and a

fishing outfit. Materi also caught the second largest number of fish, but chose to relinquish that prize so that another child could win. Throughout the morning, Cadence Tulak made a total of 11 trips to the weigh-in station to secure first place in the Most Fish category. She received the Most Fish Trophy, as well as a rod and reel outfit, a $100 education certificate and a $100 gift certificate. Cameron Bouchard placed second and Charleigh Lemay

placed third. Both received rod and reel outfits. All three received plaques as well. Jayda Kopel won in the Largest Fish category and will have her name inscribed on the William J. Murray Memorial Trophy. She also received a glass “keeper” trophy, a rod and reel outfit, a $200 scholarship and will be taking her whole family on an all-expenses-paid fishing trip to Beaver Lake Lodge. Evan Hollatz placed second and received a rod and reel outfit as

well as a $100 scholarship. Alex Smolne placed third and received a rod and reel outfit and the Crook Family scholarship. Both also received plaques. Emily Alcott and Levi Alyward won in the Hidden Weight category and both received brand new mountain bikes and helmets. Patrice LeBlanc received $500 in groceries for the Parent Appreciation prize. “As one of the organizers of the Kids’ Fishing Derby, it certainly gives me a tre-

mendous sense of satisfaction when I see former participants like Aly Vann and Jorden Hofer coming back year after year to volunteer and help out with the derby,” said James Murray. “They are not only mentors for the younger kids, they are pretty darned good role models.” This year, 238 young anglers registered for the derby with 52 kids catching a total of 148 coarse fish. Close to $5,000 in scholarships and prizes were handed out.

U16 girls ignore rain, claim win During a game that was stopped more than once for lightning, the U16 Shuswap Warriors kept up their passing game, defeating Kamloops 3-1 in the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer League semifinal on Saturday afternoon. It rained so hard that spectators huddled under the eaves at the Jackson fieldhouse while the field filled with puddles. The Kamloops team took advantage of one of the breaks to do some sliding and somersaults across the muddy field. After the win, the Warriors suffered a heartbreaker during the final in Penticton. With just 45 seconds left in regulation time versus Kelowna, Shuswap’s Taylor Corston struck a beautiful ball that went past the keeper but just wide of the net. Regulation time ended with a 0-0 tie. Then, just four minutes into overtime, Kelowna scored, earn-

Big success

Big excitement for the

U13 girls team. After a win-less season, the determined girls travelled to Kamloops to face the Kamloops team in the fourth versus fifth-place playdown spot. At the end of regulation time the score was

0-0. Then, after the two 10-minute overtime halves, the teams were still at a scoreless draw. Next came a shootout. Courtney Bacon and Roxanne Van Rooyen scored for Salmon Arm in the first five shots, matched by

two Kamloops goals. They then headed into a sixth round, where Jayda Blair scored the winning goal. Jessie EllerbeckHanna was in net for the first half and Shelbi Richard for the second.

Sharp Shooters earn victory The Shuswap Sharp Shooters U11 development team had two fantastic games on Sunday in Kamloops against Kelowna Red and Vernon 2. In the first game of the day which featured the leagues two top teams, Kelowna surprised Shuswap by scoring in the first two minutes of the match. Shuswap responded five minutes

later with a goal when Jordan King made a crafty run down the wing and sent a bullet in the back of the net. Pheobe Barnes and Lys Milne continued to put on pressure and had several good chances on goal. Julia Hart and Braidy Parkes were stellar in goal and each made several great saves. Shuswap’s defenders, Laura Hall, Janae Bocking, Holly

McKaskill and Brooklyn Davidson were able to fend off Kelowna’s attack. The final score was 1-1. In the second game of the day, Shuswap put themselves on the board 15 minutes in when King, off a pass from Milne, was able to beat her defender and put the ball in the back of the net. Shuswap dominated most of the match and

played a good passing game. Sophia Ruckle and Gabriella Torrie were tireless up front and continued to pressure Vernon’s defence. In the second half, Alana O’Dell turned on the engines and scored two brilliant goals by powering her way through Vernon’s defence making the final score 3-0 for Shuswap.

Fun for families at Roots & Blues F

Kids’ stuff: Counterclockwise from bottom, Nylon Zoo, Dan Zanes and Rattle and Strum will perform for the younger members of the family at the 2014 Roots & Blues Festival.

amilies are an important part of the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival and the Hub International Barton Family Fun Zone provides fun and exciting activities for kids of all ages. It also hosts some of the most engaging children’s talent around. Coming to the 2014 Family Stage are Dan Zanes, Rattle and Strum, and Nylon Zoo – three family inclusive performers who focus on interactive play, storytelling, and dress-up while they weave mature musical sounds with smart youth-centred content. These dynamic acts will get you dancing and playing whether you are age two or 62. There’s something you should know about Dan Zanes: he is passionate about making homemade family music, and encouraging his friends and neighbors to do the same. He has a mission to introduce his musical friends to his neighborhood friends and show everybody, not just that they can play together, but that they can also feel pretty good while doing so. Zanes began his musical career during the ’80s as a member of The Del Fuegos, later releasing a solo album before his foray into the field of family entertainment. In 2000, he released the children’s folk-tinged album Rocket Ship Beach, featuring musical friends Sheryl Crow, Suzanne Vega, Donald Saaf, Rankin Don and the Sandy Girls. It became an immediate hit with families all around America. Zanes has also collaborated and cre-

ated albums with a host of other impressive and talented friends over the years including Louden Wainwright lll, Roseanne Cash, Aimee Mann, Lou Reed, Deborah Harry, Philip Glass and, most recently, Elizabeth Mitchell on 2013’s Turn Turn Turn. The Dan Zanes Gusto Hour is a chance for families and people of all ages to gather and sing at the top of their lungs with Grammy Award winning musician Zanes in a loose, communal and festive environment. Rattle and Strum gets kids of all ages dancing, clapping, singing and playing. With Heather Johnson (aka ‘Strum’) on guitar, Steve Hazlett (aka ‘Rattle’) on drums, audience on percussion and everybody singing, this highly interactive band leaves nobody out and is known for original music that parents enjoy too. Formally trained as a music therapist, Strum has been teaching children through music for years. Rattle, who also teaches music to youngsters, has been playing drums since he could hold the sticks. Together Rattle and Strum are an irresistible combination with an unbeatable recipe for fun. With a grant from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Rattle and Strum released their first self-titled album in August 2013 and it quickly received a prestigious Parents’ Choice Gold Award. Although it is a children’s al-

bum, Rattle and Strum spent two weeks charting in the top-30 on Alberta’s public radio station CKUA. Armed with catchy tunes, grooves, visual props, extra instruments for the audience members and a great sense of fun and silliness, this is a show that will not be forgotten. Ever been inside the belly of a giant magical salmon or frog? Ever munched on magical eucalyptus leaves that transform you into a real-life dancing koala? Join Nylon Zoo and enter a fantastical story Zoo-niverse… a place where theatre, costume, dance, music and play allow you to journey to ancient kingdoms, enchanted realms, sparkly unicorn playgrounds, and back again. This journey of the imagination is a unique celebration of colour, magic and play that will stay with the young and young-at-heart forever. Nylon Zoo is an art ensemble that specializes in interactive story activities. The group incorporates giant storytelling inflatable creatures, theatre, costumes, dance, music, stories and play, in presenting fun-filled, magical experiences at community celebrations of all types. Nylon Zoo is led by Alisoun Payne, a Shuswap native who has been a performance artist for 23 years. Roots & Blues runs Aug. 15 to 17.

An aviation celebration By Barb Brouwer

OBSERVER STAFF

Aviation has come a long way since the Wright Brothers’ first flying machine broke the bonds of Earth in December 1903. Not only did increasingly sophisticated aircraft speed up travel and shipping, the lure of the open skies ignited a worldwide passion for flying. It is with a passion for aviation and the Shuswap Regional Airport that the Salmon Arm Flying Club will celebrate Airport Appreciation Day Sunday, June 22. Flying Club president Tim Auger says two Canadian military planes will be on display this year. The CT-156 Harvard II is an agile turboprop trainer and the aircraft of choice for the early stages of the NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC) program. On take-off, the CT-156 can climb about one kilometre per minute and can handle sustained 2G turns at an altitude of 24,606 feet. It is the airplane air force pilots train on at CFB Moose Jaw before heading north to Cold Lake for top gun training on the CT-155 Hawk. Also selected for the NFTC program for its similarities to frontline fighter aircraft, one of the highly advanced Hawks is expected to fly over the Salmon Arm airport around noon on its way back to Cold Lake from Kelowna. With its superior technology, including a Rolls

Raising flag on First Nations culture Cultural pride will be the order of the day when the Secwepemc flag is raised in front of city hall. The Adams Lake Band is hosting Aboriginal Day Saturday, June 21 and is inviting natives and non-natives to join the band for a cultural experience – an opportunity to learn, grow and interact.

Obituaries

JIKKE (JEAN) SIEBENGA March 27, 1923 - June 11, 2014 A time of faith. Jean, born and raised in Holland started life with a praying mother, who although dying shortly after childbirth, prayed for her infant daughter’s protection in life ……. and God listened. Struggling through the war and wanting a new life and adventure, Jean and her husband Bill (Wietze) came to Canada in 1951, worked hard, bought and sold farms and raised two boys, Barry and David. God did not forget his word and in 1969, he intervened to awake Jean’s husband on June 9, 1969 who when saying “Lord speak, I am listening” heard back to say “In the name of Jesus go out” and that day all the anger, fear and weariness in their life and family left instantly. Since then miracles abounded and her life was full of love, adventure and joy again. In 1996, her Bill went home to visit Jesus and now Jean is catching up to reunite with him but also that oh so special mother of hers, who 3 days after Jean was born, prayed up a storm that carried though all of Jean’s life. Jean would say that “Through my whole life’s journey, through war, immigration and hard work, I always had a loving marriage, a true partner in life with my husband Wietze where we shared our home and business in a good way of life………….. but I tell you, that after the fullness of the Lord came in our life and home there was such a big change and I will be ever thankful to the Lord in life and eternity for the His miraculous salvation.” Every incident in life made me always know the Lord was real!!! What is there left to say, her family left on this shore now knows that our mother is on the most fantastic adventure of her life, enjoy the vigor’s of life fullness and love of the people who love her and Jesus, her saviour who loves her most of all!!!!!!! Left behind to celebrate her life are sons Barry (Cathy) and David (Shara), grandchildren Barry Ryan, Jason, Alisha, Devon, Aaron and seven wonderful great grandchildren. Also Maxine Dale, who mom called her other daughter and Barbara Demeter who was a close and faithful friend and visitor. Internment this Sunday, June 22 at Mt Ida Cemetery and Celebration of Jeans life at 3 PM at Five Corners Pentecostal Church with Pastor Ken Finstad officiating. Email condolences may be sent to Jean’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

He was a member of the RCA in WWII at which time he met and married wife Phyllis Lloyd in England April 10, 1946. They returned to Wonnack, BC where they started their family and later moved to Westwold where Rudy worked in the family business, Buff Lumber Co until it was destroyed by fire in 1979. Rudy and Phyllis had moved the family to Kamloops in 1966; he later moved to Vernon. In 2002 he moved to Salmon Arm to his daughter Christine’s home. Rudy was an active member of The Swiss Society and The Royal Canadian Legion. He enjoyed gardening, woodworking and walking. He always looked forward to spending time with family and friends whether it was sharing a glass of his homemade wine, a meal at the family table or rooting for one of his favourite sports teams. He will be missed by us all. The family would like to thank Dr. Keith Hepburn and the staff at Mt. Ida Mews Care Home for the excellent care and support provided over the last 1 ½ yrs.

Don’t Wait. Mammograms can detect lumps in the breast long before they are noticed in any other way.

MEMORIES ON DVD!

Films, slides, photos & video transferred to DVD. Peter Parashyniak of Sicamous, BC was granted his wings on June 7, 2014 where he peacefully passed away at the Shuswap Lake Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC at the age of 88 years. Pete was born on June 18, 1925 in Melville, Saskatchewan. Pete was enlisted in the Canadian Army on May 17, 1944 where he served as a Private and discharged on July 22, 1946. He started his career in the Mines as a Manager for Port Radium at Great Bear Lake, NWT. Just as Port Radium was closing Lupin was opening. Pete transferred over with a dear friend and colleague to start up the Echo Bay Mines as a Mill Superintendent till 1980. Pete loved fishing and would tell his stories of the fish he caught in Great Bear Lake. Pete retired from Echo Bay Mines in May 1991 after 20 years of dedicated service. Pete was drawn to Sicamous because of a wonderful opportunity to create his dream home by the Lake - which is what he did and showed it off with pride. Pete is survived by his loving and devoted companion of 11 years, his Bichon, Toby who misses him dearly, his Sister in Law, Edna; along with numerous family and friends. Pete is predeceased by his Mother, Father, 2 Brothers, and a Nephew. When Pete touched your heart he left an imprint on your soul! He will be missed by all who knew him. A big thank you to the staff at the Shuswap Lake Hospital along with Fischer’s Funeral Services. Email condolences and share memories through Peter’s obituary at fischersfuneralservices.com.
