Blaze causes smoky start to day Landfill: Fire smouldered a few hours before call. By Tracy Hughes OBSeRVeR STAFF

It is unlikely that the cause of a blaze at the columbia Shuswap Regional district landfill in Salmon Arm will be uncovered by investigators. The fire that took place at the landfill in the early hours of Monday morning was extinguished within two-and-a-half hours, but the acrid smell from the burnt garbage lingered over the city for much longer. Salmon Arm firefighters got the call and responded at 5:06 a.m., however Mike Bailey, assistant fire chief, says they be-

lieve the fire had been burning for a few hours before it was called in. “It was in an area on the back side of the landfill where the garbage was dumped and then covered over at closing time, so probably smouldered for some of the night until it got to a size and the smoke and odour of the toxins burning alerted people to call,” he said. crews from halls #2 and #3 attended, as well as a water tanker from Hall #1. The fire was put out by 7:30 a.m. The area has since been excavated to ensure the fire is totally extinguished.

Bailey says the cause of the fire is undetermined. “no idea. It could have been anything that was in the garbage that day. With all that garbage, it’s pretty difficult to tell.” There were no injuries to any of the firefighters, who took special precautions due to the fire’s location. “Fires at landfills always pose a particular, serious concern because of the potential for toxic smoke, so we ensure extra care is taken for the personal protection of our firefighters,” says Bailey. The landfill opened as usual Monday morning.

Areas push for rail trail

Initiative: Communities see huge tourism potential. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Local governments in the North Okanagan and Shuswap have launched an urgent drive to save the CP Rail line between Sicamous and Armstrong from potentially being chopped up and sold to private investors. A meeting was held in Salmon Arm at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District offices on June 24 to strategize ways to preserve the line as a transportation corridor, initially for hiking and biking and, in the winter, perhaps cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. Sicamous Mayor Darrel Trouton said members of the CSRD board and Splatsin council, as well as the mayors of Vernon and Armstrong, attended the meeting, which resulted in Sicamous volunteering to draft a resolution to the Union of BC Municipalities. The resolution states that UBCM should become the owner of these deregulated rail corridors, and should ask the province to institute a province-wide parcel tax, similar to that levied by the Municipal Finance Authority on property tax notices, to help in their purchase and maintenance. “We’re not the only ones dealing with abandoned railways…,” said Trouton. “This is an opportunity for us to possibly have a rail trail from Sicamous right down to

the border. Hopefully it goes through, hopefully we get some support from the province and communities in the province.” A bid to acquire the line between Sicamous and Armstrong became more tenuous when an opportunity was missed during the process that CP Rail had to follow in deregulating the line. When a federally regulated railway, such as CP or CN, announces its intention to discontinue operation of such a line, they must adhere to a formal abandonment process laid out by the Canada Transportation Act. If no commercial sale of the line to a rail company is completed within the allowed time, CP must offer to sell the line to local governments for a price not more than the net salvage value of the line. However, the deadline for local governments to purchase the SicamousArmstrong line passed without an agreement. The portion of line is now in CP Rail’s real estate group. “There is no formal process once the CTA discontinuance process is complete,” wrote CP spokesperson Salem Woodrow in an email to the Observer. “CP remains in contact with local municipalities and we are considering our next steps. Any discussions we have are in private.” Why the window of opportunity was missed

Although there had been a regional effort to acquire the line during the allowed time frame, once a local government enters into negotiations with CP, the process becomes confidential. However, now that the timeline has expired, comments are still not forthcoming. Purchase price might have been a factor. In August 2012, Sicamous applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency for a decision on the net salvage value of the stretch of line. The lengthy CTA document shows that although Sicamous had not arrived at a net salvage value of its own, CP generally did not agree with Sicamous’ rationale and estimates regarding other aspects of the line’s worth – with CP’s figures higher than those of Sicamous. CSRD director for rural Sicamous, Rhona Martin, spearheaded the June 24 meeting. She said she was hope-

ful the leaders could get something moving forward. The trail would benefit the whole region, she enthused. “It would be great for all of us,” she said, noting such a trail would keep visitors in the Shuswap longer. The Shuswap Trail Alliance is also fully in support. Executive director Phil McIntyrePaul said the message to people now is to lobby leaders up and down the line for their support. “Calling all governing leadership within the Shuswap/North Okanagan region to work together with Secwepemc and provincial leadership, the Shuswap Trail Alliance, community leaders, organizations and sponsoring partners to acquire the Sicamous to Armstrong rail corridor – establishing a continuous hiking/cycling greenway – and link it with the Central Okanagan Rail Trail,” states a June 27 Trail Alliance bulletin.

Excessive speed RCMP patrols in the Salmon River Road area resulted in two incidents where police located vehicles travelling at excessive speeds. In one instance, the vehicle was travelling in excess of 53 km/h over the posted speed limit of 80 km/h, which resulted in a seven-day impoundment of the vehicle. The drivers in both instances received violation tickets.

Funds found for speech services By Tracy Hughes OBServer STAFF

Speech and language services in North Okanagan-Shuswap schools have been given a temporary reprieve. During recent budget discussions, school district trustees implemented reductions to speech and language services for children with communications difficulties, among other cuts required to reduce the operating budget by $1.8 million. At the last school board meeting, it was announced that additional funding to maintain the current level of speech and language services had been approved out of a special learning improvement fund. “This provides the equivalent funding to maintain the status quo,” said Nora Kennett, district administrator for student services. The school board had cut the equivalent of a 0.2 speech pathologist position from the budget; however, this one-time funding grant will top up the speech and language services budget by that amount. “It will mean less impact on students this coming year than previously predicted,” she added. But Kennett notes, this learning improvement fund requires schools to make applications on an annual basis, so there is no guarantee that funds would continue in future years. It is this issue that concerns Jennifer Henrie, a parent of a child with communication challenges. She recently lobbied the school board and the ministry for speech and language funding, and co-ordinated a parent letter-writing campaign. “Though I am encouraged by the fact that the speech and language program received the one year LIF grant, I feel it is not a healthy funding structure for such a vital program in our schools.”

THE VIEW FROM HERE

Martha Wickett

Really put students first Student-centered education. In a way it sounds like an unnecessary description, a redundancy. Why wouldn’t the education of students be centered around students – consideration of how they learn best, what their passions are, their needs, what their opinions are about their learning? Unfortunately, considering what works best for students takes resources. And resources are something our schools don’t have, at least not enough of them. Certainly not in this school district. During budget deliberations we hear more and more about cutting resources that help classroom teachers do their jobs. On the block are supports for students who aren’t considered typical – students with hearing or speech difficulties, for instance – and cuts to ‘extra’ programs, such as sexual health education. But more than money, it’s a mindset. There’s taxpayers’ money for other things - money, and more money. School resources, however, are apparently a lower priority. Otherwise, why would the government be restricting funds to such an extent, and why wouldn’t we – parents, administrators, the school board, the public – be standing up and saying, ‘No, no and no. This is far too important.’? There’s always an excuse – ‘it’s the funding formula’ – yet humans make, and so can re-make, funding formulas. This mindset was evident, in my opinion, at last week’s grad ceremony. This is not to blame anyone – I know many people worked very hard to make it happen. The dry grad party at the rec centre was amazing, for instance, an event which I heard many students praise. At the ceremony, the program listed three musical selections to be performed by a variety of students. These didn’t happen and, if I heard the explanation correctly, it had something to do with setting up the sound system. Really? What could have been more important to this celebration than these performances, with the exception of presenting grads with their diplomas? The speeches by adults went ahead just fine, however, including the one where information, which was also in a provincial government new release, touted a study from the Conference Board of Canada that said B.C.’s education system is second to none in Canada in terms of numbers of high school graduates. That little tidbit might have rung hollow to those students who had to struggle to complete their graduation requirements because of a dispute between the government and teachers. And to teachers, for that matter, whose daily witnessing of a lack of resources in the classroom – not a fabricated need - tells a less rosy story. Then there’s the job action itself. While I completely support more resources for students, I don’t think there is just one solution to any problem. I’m sure the government and the teachers, if all involved – all – were truly thinking about a student-centered resolution, they could have come up with something different. Overall, the system would clearly benefit from a shift in mindset. If students aren’t central to decisions made affecting them and their education, why aren’t they? And who or what is?

Editorial

A great nation to call our own For most of the past 147 years, Canada has been respectful of other countries and of its wide variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions. There is a significant exception however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good relations with the aboriginal people. For the first 100 years of our independence, there were ongoing efforts to assimilate them, take away their land, unique cultures and heritage, and subjugate them. This was a holdover of the British approach to colonialism, and was actually quite similar to what the British attempted in other parts of the world. It is only in recent years that more Canadians have started to appreciate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here

in B.C., where we have a wide variety of very different First Nations groups, most of whom have no treaties, First Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday by a Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation. This country has always been a grouping of very different people. In 1867, it was the aboriginal people, those of French background, and those of British background, including descendants of former Americans who disagreed with the American Revolution. Together, these diverse peoples have forged a country respectful of religions, traditions and cultures; committed to fight injustices; economically strong and well-positioned — and one of the best places in the world to live. – Black Press

The Observer asked: Do you think Salmon Arm should have a mosquito control program?

Bernice Herbert “For sure ... just look at all the mosquito bites I have on me.”

Betty Ward “No. We don’t really have that much of a mosquito problem.”

Family life program should be a priority In response to the article, “Pornography is not education,” I seriously question the wisdom in eliminating the family life program and Cathi Johnston’s position (which already was only a .60 full time equivalent). My daughter, who is finishing Grade 4, attended one of Cathi’s family life sessions with me in the fall that was offered to parents and kids in Grade 4/5/6. It was invaluable. After the session, she said to me, “that teacher (Cathi) was really great because she said there were no stupid questions and we could ask her whatever we wanted.” How many kids will now miss the important, factual information she provided in an open and safe environment? I struggle with the school district’s decision to eliminate this position

through cutbacks. I can’t see how an already overloaded classroom teacher will be able to deliver this in their curriculum in the same atmosphere of trust that Cathi did. Kids will either be too embarrassed to ask questions or worse will go to the Internet for answers. It seems some of the decisions that are being made now with respect to budgets and eliminating positions like this one in particular, will prove short-sighted in a few years when we see other societal and public health problems increasing. Could no funds be found to maintain this valuable program? Coming on the heels of the decision to maintain the status quo of nine school trustee positions, this is troubling.

Brianna Peters Yes, because they are so annoying.”

Dominic Muto “Yes. We we want to enjoy the sunshine not the mosquitoes.”

Jim Hoskins “Yes. It’s not too bad where we live but it may be bad enough in some places.”

Citizens want new cell tower policy On June 14, many Shuswap and North Okanagan communities joined others across Canada in rallies defending democracy and raising awareness about BC Hydro and Quebec Hydro’s unethical deployment of wireless smart meters, and the smart grid (cell towers, collectors etc.) they are designed to feed. In solidarity with Montreal, B.C. rallies took place in the Lower Mainland, Victoria, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Powell River, Salmon Arm, Nelson and Kelowna. Turnouts were significant and enthusiastic. Salmon Arm’s rally along the Trans-Canada and at the plaza, addressed many aspects of the smart grid program: the lack of government and corporate honesty, disregard for safety, security, privacy, health

of families and communities, jobs, radiation, fire risks, inaccurate and skyrocketing Hydro bills, appliance blowouts, the importance of human dignity and public consultation, human rights and the environment. Locally the focus was on the microwave radiation grid, from smart meters to cell towers (http:// youtu.be/UNhW1gMeOuY). It demanded the relocation of four dangerously placed towers in the city, and stressed the need for public forums on this matter, including the need for city council and staff to develop their Cell Tower Siting Consultation Policy using research from nonindustry funded scientists. They must look beyond their present reliance on Industry and Health Canada’s standards, which many know are flawed, supporting in-

dustry first, rather than the safety and health of Canadians. Remember Health Canada’s record of supporting tobacco, asbestos, thalidomide and others that have had devastating consequences on health. The World Health Organization in 2011, reclassified all emissions from wireless devices as a Class 2 possible cause of human cancer; however, the public is generally unaware of this health risk from their everyday exposure to this convenient technology. Also, a significant percentage of the population are experiencing ill health symptoms associated with electrosensitivity (EHS).

Strike creates ripples through society The teachers strike and lockout should be of concern to everyone because the children are the future and should be encouraged to develop to their fullest potential. It is already difficult for teachers to give their best but, with the new government demands, it will be almost impossible. Other unions working within the government seem to win much larger settlements without much difficulty, but teachers are some-

times even belittled through the media as glorified babysitters. Why is that? This government would like teachers to be an “essential service,” but they don’t have the same life or death responsibility that health-care workers, firefighters or police have. And, if class sizes are increased and too many children with learning disabilities are in the mix, school boards may have to ‘insist’ that

those children are drugged with Ritalin. Disruptive children can sometimes be the smartest; however, they won’t develop without help. But governments don’t want free-thinking children, just obedient, unquestioning ones. And after graduation, most of the special needs could be on medication for life. Now who would that serve?

Respect critical to Canadian democracy I believe most of us in a moment of inattention have accidently bumped a fellow Canadian and then been surprised to hear the blameless person graciously say, “I’m sorry.” Such chance encounters never fail to remind me how lucky I am to

Donna Harms, owner of Sapori, said the oils come from Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey and Argentina. The vinegars , which are made from grapes in Italy, are aged from eight to 12 years. All of the products at Sapori are free of salt, sugar and sulfates. Harms says the oils and vinegars can be used for much more than just dipping, so she plans to host regular tastings for people to get a feel of what she has in stock. “I want people to walk out going, ‘Oh wow,’ I can’t wait to try this at home.”

Signature dough Pizza lovers will be able to satisfy their appetite for fresh, hand-tossed pizza with a Dough Boyz Pizza Company that’s opened in Salmon Arm. The store lives up to its name, as their main focus is on the dough. “Our dough is made from scratch and all handtossed,” said manager Elton Hydamacka. “We make our dough fresh every day.” The pizzas, which are all made to order, are cooked in artisan deck ovens and come with a signature sesame seed crust. “We have that artisan, old-school feel that Salmon Arm hasn’t seen,” he said, noting that the company aims to do something different. Alongside their pizzas, Dough Boyz offers garlic bread, calzones, salads and battered chicken wings.

Ashton’s expands Salmon Arm’s Ashton’s Floorcovering Centre has expanded it’s business to Chase. Owners of the business, Lorelei and Cory Ashton, says that they were looking at expansion options when they discovered Chase. Ashton also said that since opening in Chase in May, she has seen a good response from customers.

Artisans remain open In the June 18 edition of the Salmon Arm Observer, under the headline, “DeMille’s adds artisans,” it should state that the market is open until the end of September, not August. We apologize for the error.

Double damage: Since April, the Salmon Arm’s Safeway store

has been hit by drivers, causing minor damage to the building both times although the store’s operations were not affected. But luckily for customers, the company that has taken ownership of the chain has no plans to close its Salmon Arm location.

Sobeys has no plans to shut city’s Safeway By Chelsea Grainger Across the country, grocery stores under the Sobeys Inc. umbrella are closing their doors but the Salmon Arm Safeway is staying put. Sobeys’ parent company, Empire Co, recently acquired the Safeway chain, and the result is the closure of approximately 50 under-performing stores in Western Canada. Keri Scobie, communications manager for Sobeys West, confirmed that the Salmon Arm location will be sticking around.

“Only one B.C. store was announced for closure,” said Scobie. “The Sobeys in Fort St. John.” Despite the acquisition, the Safeway in Salmon Arm will also not undergo any aesthetic or branding changes. “No decisions on branding or banners have been made at this point,” said Scobie, who also noted that the store isn’t planning on moving elsewhere anytime soon. Although staying the same, the Safeway in Salmon Arm has weathered a few minor

The Shuswap Farm and Craft Market is gearing up for summer with a number of initiatives to grow and expand it’s business. The market has been approved as part of the BC Association of Farmer’s Market’s (BCAFM) Nutrition Coupon Program. The program provides lower-income families and seniors who are enrolled in certain programs with coupons of $15 value each week to be spent at the local farmers market. “It helps everybody,” said Shuswap Farm and Craft Market Secretary, Susan Washington. “It’s just a fantastic thing for our market.” The market was approved for coupons for

up to 30 families and 10 seniors, and Washington says she’s hoping for more next year. The market will also be participating in the BCAFM campaign titled “It feels better at the Farmer’s Market” and the Farmer’s Market Selfie Contest. People who attend markets across BC can snap a photo of themselves and submit it to the BCAFM Facebook page with the hashtag #FarmersMarketSelfie. Then, it’s up to them to get the most votes in order to win various weekly prizes. Washington says that Salmon Arm has a few entries so far. Selfies can be submitted until July 7 and voting will end on July 21.

collision incidents recently. Betty Kellsey, public affairs manager of Safeway operations, said that two vehicles accidentally drove into the Safeway building, one in April and in June. There were no reported injuries for either incident. Kellsey said Sobeys Inc. checked to see if there was any problems in the parking lot such as speed limit or curb side issues, but found none. “It happens, it’s purely a coincidence,” said Kellsey.

Citizens rally to help Kenna-Rae

Rare illness: Teen travels to Boston July 7 for radiation treatment. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Once again, the community has stepped up to help. Michelle Stockbruegger is grateful for the support she and her 14-year-old daughter Kenna-Rae have received, after making their plight public. Kenna-Rae has been diagnosed with a benign brain tumour, a rare craniopharyngioma. It is about seven centimetres across – about the size of a golf ball – and is sitting amongst her optic nerve, her pituitary gland, her brain stem and her hypothalamus. “It’s big,” explained Michelle. “They want to get it from a golf ball size to a grape and then remove it.”

The complication is that doctors don’t want to damage Kenna-Rae’s brain by using standard radiation. Michelle was informed her daughter needs proton radiation, only available in the U.S. Michelle and Kenna-Rae are leaving for Boston, Massachusetts on July 7. There Kenna-Rae will undergo two weeks of planning and prepping for the surgery, including creating a mask that will keep her perfectly still. Then there will be six weeks of radiation daily, Monday through Friday. Although the B.C. health ministry will pay for the hospital care, Michelle and Kenna-Rae must stay in Boston until the end

of August, away from 13-year-old son Cole, 11-year-old daughter Brooklyn and spouse, Todd, who works out of town. They will need to pay for housing and food. And here’s where the community has stepped up. Several events have raised enough money that Michelle feels confident she’ll be able to make it through the next eight weeks. Along with donations from individuals, the fundraisers have included one at the Hideaway Pub organized by Doug Revel, another by Brad Housden at No Frills, plus pizza and ice cream sales donated by Shuswap Middle School. Says Michelle:

Watch your consumption while watching sports HealtHy bites

Serena Caner First it was the Olympics, then Stanley Cup playoffs, now FIFA World Cup... it seems for sport enthusiasts, the events never end. Unfortunately, most of us spend more time watching sports than playing them ourselves. While watching a game this weekend, I reflected on how I was not only being sedentary, but also drinking beer and eating unhealthy snacks. Luckily, I am not an avid sports fan and as a mother of two small children, my days of binge drinking are over. However, I realized how easy it would be to eat and drink my daily quota of calories during this one event. Current guidelines recommend no more than one or two alcoholic drinks daily (depending on your size; typically, one for women and two for men). U n f o r t u n a t e l y, these drinks cannot be banked. Meaning even if you did not drink Monday to Friday, you should not have six beers on Saturday! Furthermore, the quantity of alcohol is standardized. A drink is not how much you can pour in a glass, but a 12 oz. regular beer (5 per cent alcohol), 1.5 oz. hard liquor (40 per cent alcohol) or 5 oz. of wine (12 per cent alcohol). Alcohol has many effects, but from a dietitian perspective it is generally not helpful for weight management. Not only does it provide extra, nonnutritive calories, but liberalizes your appetite and affects your judgement. When drinking and enjoying ourselves, especially in front of the television, we tend to lose track of what or how much has gone in our mouth. So the question becomes, is there a

healthier way to enjoy the game?

If you drink beer, only put one or two beers in the refrigerator (hopefully, warm beer is a deterrent!) If going to a friends’ house, bring only one or two beers with you.

Pace yourself – alternate alcoholic drinks with glasses of water If mixing drinks yourself, consider making them more dilute, and using low calories mixers.

Plan a physical sports event with your kids or friends before the event (for example, meet at the park to kick a ball around before going home to watch the game).

Choose healthier snacks to eat during the game. You will do less “damage” eating a whole plate of veggies than a whole beg of chips. Do not eat in front of

the TV, keep snacks to half-time. –Serena Cancer is a registered dietician who works at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

They teed up at 4:10 Tuesday morning and drained their final putts just before sundown almost 17 hours later. Golf pro buddies Myles Johnson and Jesse Crowe cruised around the Spallumcheen Golf and Country Club course 11 times and played two bonus holes to reach 200. The duo combined for 74 birdies and a pair of eagles as they golfed to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). The PGA of BC and its members donate their time and bodies to this cause annually. “Myles was super hot on his home track, shooting low rounds of 64 and 65, twice, to finish 28-under par for the 11 rounds,” said the 34-year-old Crowe, head teaching pro at Salmon Arm Golf Club. “I usually outdrive Myles by 20, 30 yards, but by the eighth round, I was pretty worn out and he just kept crushing his tee shots past mine. He shot 65 in the ninth round. He’s in fantastic shape. This is an amazing event and even though my back feels like mush, it is nothing compared to what people living with ALS

Swimmer eyes up national time

Para-swimming: Maggie Manning hopes to make qualifying mark. OBSERVER STAFF

Being born with a severe disability and undergoing numerous surgeries has not stopped a Salmon Arm girl from pushing forward and discovering what she loves — being in the water. Maggie Manning, 14, was born with severe bilateral hip dysplasia, which means she’s essentially had to grow up without hips. Her condition makes tasks such as walking difficult and painful, but Manning has found that competitive swimming is not only something she enjoys, but it doesn’t add to the struggles of her disability. “It’s been hard because I haven’t been able to do all the things that my friends can do,” said Manning. “But it’s made me who I am and I’m proud of that.” Manning, who has always had a love for sports, tried swimming on a whim for the first time last year and instantly knew she had found her calling. “When I’m in the water, I’m just like everyone else,” she says. Manning has gone through 10 surgeries to reconstruct her hips, which have constantly put a damper on her passion for sports. “The surgeries have been hard to cope with,” says Manning, who had to give up playing ringette due to the complications of

her disability. Playing as goalie, Manning would have to re-learn to skate after each surgery and, eventually, it was too much work to keep her eight-year old ringette career going. “I was kind of disappointed,” said Manning, who also really enjoys soccer and biking. Despite the disappointment, she loves swimming which, unlike other sports she’s tried, is good for her joints and helps her muscles grow stronger. After discovering her love of the water, she quickly paired up with coach Jana Montgomery and headed to a swim meet in Edmonton in November. She brought home three bronze and one silver medal and qualified for the B.C. Paraswimming Provincials in Kamloops in January. There she won a number of gold medals. “Maggie is a determined girl, full of grit and athleticism,” said Montgomery. “She’s found her niche and her outlet.” Manning said her favourite part of swimming events is getting to meet people with the same disability as her. From provincials, Manning was selected for Team BC to attend the PARA West Camp in Richmond. The camp consisted of seminars on nutrition and goal setting, and

Sights set: Salmon Arm’s Maggie Manning was invited by Team BC to swim at the recent PARA West Camp in Richmond. This week she’s off to the Long Course Provincial Championships in Victoria where she will work to take off a fraction of a second in a couple of events to earn a National qualifying time standard. lots of training time in the water. “It was a lot of fun and a great experience to learn,” she says. Manning likes the way swimming has all the challenges of a team sport, but it’s also very individualized. “Swimming is my way to feel not different than everybody else,” she says, noting that she likes to see herself improve. With dreams of making it onto the Canadian Paralympic team,

Manning would be thrilled to compete at either or both the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016 and the Tokyo Games in 2020. Her next event will be the Long Course Provincial Championships in Victoria, July 3 to 6, where she will be competing to reach the national qualifying time standard. “I’m really hopeful that I will get my national time,” said Manning. “I’m only 0.04 seconds off.”

Love song puts artist on top music charts Makeover: New name, new look, new beginnings for Salmon Arm singer-songwriter. by barb brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

The mystery has been solved. The singer of the chart-climbing Till the Sun Burns Out has not stolen Greg Sczebel’s music and voice. Meet Sebell, a talented singersongwriter who, over the past year, has taken his music in a new direction. “The name Sebell is tied to my real name; it gave me a state as a new artist, a new period in my artistry,” he says. “Greg Sczebel was a young kid making music and trying to find out who he was artistically. Sebell is the combination of that.” And it’s a winning combination. Much Music played the single in heavy rotation and Till the Sun Burns Out was on the Canada Singles Top 100 for 18 weeks, peaking at 57, and hit 15 on the Top 40 national radio airplay chart. “That’s competing with Katy Perry, Bruno Mars and everyone in that world, artists who have millions of dollars,” says Sebell. “I was one of only artists with no management, no agent, no record label; just a publicist, radio promoter and some good friends that really helped me assemble the new brand.” Sebell laughingly describes how he was told, “There’s a guy on the radio who sounds just like you, you should listen to it; he’s ripping you off.” But Sebell refers to his mysterious rebranding as a good test to see if what he’s doing is relevant, without any hype.

“Does the music speak for itself, without any back story?” he asks. Apparently it does. After some 12 years of hard work, Sebell is getting the calls he didn’t get as Greg Sczebel, the young man who began his career in the Christian pop realm. “It boxes you in. Before you enter a room, people have already decided who you are,” he says of the genre that won him awards but no breakthrough. “It was necessary to make a

“When you finally find something that works, there’s relief, a bit of excitement and a bit of panic because you have to follow it up,” he says. “This is really working on a level far greater than anything I had done before.” As exciting as his career is at the moment, Sebell says he is too busy to take it all in. While he has found a new note in his career, Sebell he remains true to himself, the same Greg Sczebel as before. “I grew up listening to faithbased music – those are my I’m not abandoning my roots, this is roots and I am grateful for a reintroduction. As a pop artist I’m them,” he says. “Content wise, these themes will conpretty much comparable to a box of tinue in who I am as a perTide.

It wasn’t just to draw a marketing necessary for a new hard line between Christian pop image. artist, just to press reset for me “I’m not abandoning my roots, creatively.” this is a reintroduction.

Helen Helga (nee Quast)

HISLOP, GRACE HELENA Grace Helena Hislop (nee Fisher), aged 88, died peacefully August 6, 2013. Cause of death was a stroke. Grace was born June 1, 1925 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada to the late Clifford and Rosa Fisher, both from Kensington, England. She was married to the late Richard (Dick) Hamilton Hislop, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with whom she travelled the world until they retired in Burley, England. Grace was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, gracious hostess, and warmhearted neighbour. She kept her well known sense of humor until the end. She is survived by sons Richard (Pegg) of Chicago, John (Barbie) of Burley, David (Debbie) of Vancouver, daughter Barbara (George) of Burley, sister-in-law Maxine Fisher, nephews Ron, Lorne, and Ken Fisher, niece Jane Fisher, 13 nieces and nephews and twelve grandchildren. A memorial service for Grace and Richard Hislop will be held Saturday July 26th at 2:00 pm at the Eagle Bay Community Church at Eagle Bay. Online condolences may be sent to Grace’s obituary at www/bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Passed away peacefully on the first day of summer, Saturday, June 21, 2014 at the age of 88. Helen had an amazing will to live and she was grateful she could enjoy her beautiful garden this spring. She was born in Fleet, AB and lived in Salmon Arm, Vernon, Penticton, New Westminster & Burnaby as a nurse’s aide in psychiatric health care before settling in Port Coquitlam, BC for the last 48 years. She was a hard worker with a very kind heart and she loved her family, her garden and traveling. Sadly missed by her husband, Ralph, daughter, Tana Woodward (Mike), son, Robert (Bob), grandchildren, Jesse Greenwood, Kaitlyn Kehler (Brian), Russell Jones and Isaac Jones, her sister, Olga Sieben and many nieces and nephews. Helen was recently predeceased by her brother, Frank Quast and nephew, Randall Quast. The family wishes to thank Dr. John Edworthy, the wonderful nurses and staff with the Tri-Cities Palliative Team and at McKenney Creek Hospice. In her memory, donations may be made to the Ridge Meadows Hospice Society.

The passing of a loved one, combined with the burden of making the right decisions often leaves a family feeling overwhelmed. We are committed to quality funeral arrangements, peace of mind, dignity and understanding to those we serve through our staff and facilities.
