Twists in Sturgis lawsuit By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

‘Surprisingly complicated’ is how a defence lawyer describes portions of the legal action initiated by Ray Sasseville, Joan Hansen and Sturgis North Entertainment Inc. involving motorcycle events they put on in the North Okanagan-Shuswap. After launching the lawsuit in BC Supreme Court in December 2013, in March of this year Sasseville and Hansen began the process to drop the court action against six of the seven defendants. Adding to the mix, Gerhard A. Pyper, the lawyer who initiated the lawsuit on the plaintiffs’ behalf, has been suspended by the Law Society of British Columbia. Salmon Arm lawyer Rodney Chorneyko is representing four of the seven defendants. “It’s very odd. I’ve never had so many twists and turns simply for plaintiffs to abandon their claims so early – there’s so much complication to get documents finalized,” Chorneyko told the Observer. Chorneyko is representing Steve Hammer, site manager for the 2011 Sturgis North motorcycle rally; the Sicamous and District Chamber of Commerce; Renée Charbonneau who publishes a blog and newspaper for the motorcycle community; and Bernie Aubin, an entertainment provider. Also named as defendants are the municipality of Sicamous and current mayor Darrel Trouton, represented by lawyer Larry Robinson, as well as camping provider Vincent Lewis from Vernon, represented by Nick Vlahos. According to the initial claim, Sicamous is named because Sturgis North entered into an agreement to hold an annual event there beginning in 2011 called the Sturgis North Burn-out and Festival. The plaintiffs alleged the event was wrongfully taken over and became the Summer Stomp Burn-out. The chain of events in the lawsuit includes court documents registered Jan. 3 and 14 this year, in which Sasseville gives notice that he intends to represent himself in place of Pyper, his lawyer. In a June 26 letter a client forwarded to the Observer, Chorneyko writes: “It is not usual for counsel to cease representing a party, but it is unusual for that to occur with plaintiffs’ counsel so soon after See Claims on page A2

City buys Jackson land Five acres: Could be used for indoor sports, performing arts. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

A $1.5 million deal will keep five acres of the former JL Jackson school site in public hands. The City of Salmon Arm has purchased the property from the North OkanaganShuswap School District #83 in a process that has been ongoing over several months, says Mayor Nancy Cooper. The purchase agreement was passed unanimously in an in-camera session following

This week A Salmon Arm octogenarian has been waging war on the city’s weeds. See page A8. The same day as the World Cup final, Salmon Arm hosted a tourney of its own. See A13.

Monday’s council meeting, says Cooper, noting the deal was sealed with board chair Bobbi Johnson signing the agreement late Monday afternoon. “It’s pretty exciting, we’ve been working on it for months,” said Cooper. “Both council and the school district were supportive, but it went back and forth a few times.” The property known as Lot 3 is immediately west of the Downtown Activity Centre (Lot 2) and site of the new School District Administra-

tion and Education Support Centre (Lot 1) and bounded by Fifth Avenue SW and Third Street SW. “The agreement reached will see the city pay some of the property’s value in cash and the rest in services to upgrade the remainder of the former JL Jackson property frontage to the city centre standard, which is almost a $1 million investment in downtown revitalization,” reads the July 14 news release. “The off-site servicing work will be completed on Lots 1 and

2 and 4 and will include improvements such as sidewalks, trees, lighting, utilities, etc., which will enhance this important area of the city centre.” Cooper says some of the $500,000 in the cash portion will come from the city’s gas tax fund, and the remainder of the purchase price will come from the sale of two cityowned properties. “This purchase ensures that this strategic location will be secured and preserved for imSee Partial on page A4

Claims to be abandoned Continued from front commencement of a claim...” After the initial claim, Chorneyko filed an application to have the proceedings transferred to Salmon Arm. Next, Pyper sent documents to the defendants declaring that the plaintiffs were volunteering to abandon their claims against all the defendants except Renée Charbonneau. “Again, it is not unusual for disputes to settle but it is unusual for plaintiffs to effectively abandon their claims so soon after commencing the proceeding. It is also unusual for there to be no settlement discussions preceding the settlement,” wrote Chorneyko. The documents in which Sasseville, Hansen and Sturgis North Entertainment Inc. dismiss their claims have not yet been processed by the Vancouver court registry, but Chorneyko said he believes it is because of a backlog at the registry, not because anything is amiss. Neither Sasseville

nor Hansen could be reached for comment. Regarding Pyper, rather than holding a hearing on whether to suspend the lawyer, the law society used its ability to take immediate action to protect the public. The society applied to the court to

Ray Sasseville STURGIS take over as custodian of Pyper’s practice when he was suspended in late May. No details on why Pyper was suspended are forthcoming because the complaint is being investigated. The suspension may delay a resolution to the legal action. In an earlier interview, Chorneyko described the claims by the plaintiffs as frivolous. Sasseville and Hansen were behind the St-

urgis North Motorcycle Rally and Music Festival held in Salmon Arm in July 2011 and the 2012 event near Vernon at the Spallumcheen Motoplex Speedway and Event Park. An event is planned for Merritt in August, with the name changed to Sturgis Canada. While the first two events received some good and some poorer reviews from participants, both events left debts behind them. A lawsuit initiated in 2012 by the motoplex seeking close to $400,000 from Sturgis North Encore Productions Inc. remains before the courts, and some Salmon Arm businesses owed money since 2011 have still not been paid. In contrast to the legal action he initiated, Sasseville is currently one of those named in an investigation by the BC Securities Commission into the illegal distribution of securities in 2007 for Wireless Wizard Technologies Inc., whose products were purported to include a GPS system for motorcycles.

The allegations have not been proven and a hearing is set for October. In a separate case in 2003, Sasseville faced allegations of illegal distribution of securities and was prohibited from engaging in investor relations activities for a minimum of three years.

Ban begins at noon today DESIGNER frame & lens Campfires: Shuswap in high to extreme danger. OBSERVER STAFF

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has put the lid on campfires throughout the entire Kamloops Fire Centre effective noon today. This includes the Salmon Arm Fire Zone that covers the entire Shuswap area, where the fire danger rating is currently high, with pockets of extreme. “This step is being taken to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety,” reads a Kamloops Fire Centre bulletin. “With the current trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed very aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources.” Forest protection officer Larry Osachoff said Monday that weekend patrols found no abandoned campfires in the Salmon Arm zone. “It was a very good weekend for patrols – everyone is paying attention regarding size of their campfires,” he said. “We had no unusual events.” The zone also lucked out Monday night when thunderstorms tracked through Hope and Merritt instead of the Shuswap, igniting several wildfires in those areas. But several Salmon Arm boat owners were not so lucky. An angry fire chief Brad Shirley says if it were not for an alert from a 16th Street NE resident, a fire set in a boat at the Salmon Arm wharf could have been

very serious. Hall 3 was dispatched at 2:16 a.m. yesterday. When crews arrived, they found the contents of a small aluminum boat on fire. “The fire was quickly extinguished; however further investigation revealed a number of items that were vandalized,” said Shirley. “Small aluminum carts and fire extinguishers were dumped into the lake and boats had been vandalized and cut loose.” “The fire was contained to the boat and firefighters were on scene for just over an hour,” he said, noting the RCMP are now investigating. “It’s certainly not something we want to see at all, obviously, however at this time of year when we’re in such hot and dry conditions it’s very concerning.” Weatherwise, the next bullet arrives today in the form of a cold front coming in from the north, says Osachoff. “That’s a big heads up as they’re usually packing unpredictable winds and escalating fire behaviour up to 200 times,” he said Tuesday. “For us, if it’s packing lightning, we’ll be on the safeguards.” In the meantime, Osachoff suggests those who want the ambiance might purchase a propane campfire, which is permitted under the prohibition, as are propane stoves. “The only thing we watch is where they put them and how high the flame is,” he said, noting the units must be CSA and ULC ap-

Osachoff says the prohibition will be posted and fire warden crews will patrol on land and water, making sure campers are obeying the rules. Caution is also required when using machinery. A fire was discovered Monday afternoon in a logging cutblock in the Owlhead Drainage above Sicamous. Fire crews were assisted by the operator, who had already shut down operations. “All the equipment was on-site and he sent operators back up there to put a cat guard around the fire,” Osachoff said, noting the fire was about half-a -hectare in size. “We’re not exactly sure about

the cause, but it’s definitely through their operations.” While weekend temperatures were high, Environment Canada meteorologist Allan Coldwells said no records were broken. Salmon Arm’s automatic station read 35C, not far off the 35.2C recorded in 2012. But the station has only been in place for 23 years. “The worst-case scenario was 37.8C from 1930,” Coldwells said. “I’m not exactly sure where it was. It says Salmon Arm. It was likely on someone’s farm.” The record may be broken today as the forecast calls for a high of 36 degrees Celcius. Environment Canada predicts temperatures will be higher than normal right through to the end of September.

THIS ’N’ THAT

Barb Brouwer

Falling prey to a ‘miracle’ I am a fan of many types of food, but crow is a dish I don’t fancy. Be that as it may, I have to confess that, in a moment of carelessness, I let my guard down on the Internet. Constantly fighting the battle of the belly bulge, I was sucked in by an ad on Facebook touting two herbal supplements as having miracle-like properties and at only six dollars and change for postage. Silly me. The old adage, ‘if it looks too good to be true, it probably is,” continues to reverberate in my head – loudly. The ad that extols the virtues of certain herbal supplements was accompanied by (I have since discovered) a stale and well-worn interview in which Dr. Oz confers with some medical expert in California. OK. So I am not a daytime television fan. This was my first viewing of said clip and Oz has apparently since disassociated himself with any particular marketer. The two-week ‘free’ trial added up to four charges of between $97 and $100 each on my MasterCard. So far, I have received the two “free trial” bottles, and then two more arrived in the mail, unannounced and with no invoice. Fortunately, the MasterCard people were exceptionally helpful in putting an end to the unwanted supply of “miracles.” I was warned not to simply return the unwanted items but to call ahead to make arrangements. “How’s that working for you,” asked a customer care rep in Tempe, Ariz, who remained silent when I expressed my view on using a very public figure to suck people in. I was given two 17-digit numbers to accompany the product to be returned to an address in Aurora, Colo. and informed I would be charged a roughly $20 re-stocking fee per item. Interestingly, daily checks reveal that the ad I responded to several weeks ago is no longer appearing on Facebook. But the same old Dr. Oz clip is now on the site of a popular women’s magazine. Jeff Meerman, manager of corporate communications for TD Bank, says I did one thing right: I contacted MasterCard as soon as I saw the charges. He says this is very important because after 30 days, it gets much harder for the credit card company to act on a cardholder’s behalf. “Check your statement over carefully and keep an eye on your transactions,” he says, calling ‘free trial’ a red flag. “Credit card fraud is growing in sophistication, but the ways of combatting them are also getting more sophisticated.” Meerman recommends checking the lower corner of your browser for a padlock and key. If the padlock is closed or the key is intact, security technology will scramble your credit card number and personal information as it’s being transmitted to the merchant. Print out the screen that confirms your transaction and hang onto it as a receipt. Carefully read privacy and security statements before you buy and never provide your credit card number via email. Other safety tips are available at www.tdcanadatrust.com/ products-services/banking/credit-cards.faq.jsp#3.

Editorial

Park land open for business The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society has completed its sixth annual review of the state of Canada’s parks and has found that, across the country, most parks and proposed protected areas are facing greater threats than they were a year ago. Peter Wood, spokesperson for the society, says that in B.C., for instance, provincial parks and protected areas are facing serious threats from amendments to the province’s Park Act, which now permit industrial research within park boundaries and facilitate the park boundary adjustment process for industrial purposes, like building pipelines. One problem, he says, is that ‘research’ is not defined, so can be used to justify all sorts of invasive activities specifically designed to facilitate industrial development. For example, he says, Kinder Mor-

gan has been issued permits in five different parks and protected areas to conduct research that will be used to support the expansion of their pipeline. This is precisely the opposite to what was envisioned when park land was preserved, and precisely not what tourists and residents want from their parks. We go to parks to enjoy nature and the outdoors, not to see heavy machinery, surveyors or pipelines. Nor do the wildlife which are part of the chain of life that sustains us all need more encroachment on what little land they have left. With the strength of tourism in this province and the necessity for clean water and air to live, it is false economy to sacrifice our parkland for any more industrial growth.

Letting drivers set speeds Fireworks a step backward BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher

VICTORIA – “Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province. The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds. Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.” For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist. Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous. My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-and-tunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h. There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically drive faster. The other is that

higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents. The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation. Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up. Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly five per cent on basic insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers. Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are. In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style. But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star Pheonix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Oh, oh! Looks like ‘fireworks’ joins fishing derbies, perpetual economic growth, and two-cycle-engined watercraft as yet another, sacredcow, untouchable, unmentionable issue; at least insofar as downsides to their environmental impacts are concerned.) I’m again surprised that the Observer’s editor remains supportive of the outdated – and declining – practice of fireworks as a community event. Except for substituting Canada Day for Halloween, the editorial of July 9, 2014 is essentially unchanged from the editorial of Nov. 6, 2013. In both, editor Hughes suggests a return to fireworks – despite its scientifically established reality as being enIt’s pretty ridiculous that we have to go to the smaller communities to watch the fireworks. We should definitely have our own. - Rachael Litke

vironmentally unfriendly, and increasingly discontinued – not promoted – in many communities. Unfortunately, the editorial still doesn’t tell the whole story of the wisely-ended Salmon Arm Canada Day fireworks issue of the recent past either. Once again, it incorrectly characterizes the issue as being concerned solely with the disturbance that fireworks would cause waterfront wildlife. The disturbance impact of fireworks on wildlife was only one part of the fireworks issue; even more significant was the toxic metal pollution of the air (that we, and wildlife, breathe) and the water (that we all drink), generated by fireworks and their chemical debris fall-out dur-

ing explosive combustion of potentially dangerous metals including lithium, strontium, zinc, antimony, magnesium, barium, phosphorus and copper – described chemically in an Observer letter to the editor at the time. Sadly, toxic chemical fallout from fireworks may persist, unhealthily, in the air, water and soil ecosystems for long periods. In an era of ecological, green awareness (or so we hear), communities are surely ill-advised to lapse regessively backwards into a celebration of dangerous metal pollution – no matter how deceptively bedazzling and appealing it might appear to our eager, but incautious eyes.

Two men in a Saskatchewan car were in custody charged with being in possession of unsealed liquor and loose gas coupons in their possession. Progress in connection with acquiring the B.C Electric Railway Company’s assets, together with general development of hydro-electric power throughout the province, took a step forward following a conference between Premier Hart and representatives from various cities and municipalities.

Work on a sports arena for Salmon Arm was expected to start soon. Unanimous approval was voted by the meeting for the plan outlined by N.S. Minion, vice president of the arena committee. Installation of complete new projection equipment and a wide screen in the community-owned Salmar Theatre was approved at a special meeting of the Salmon Arm Community Association. Total cost of the equipment was approximately $12,000.

From measles to gout, rheumatism and more, burdock root has been used to treat a number of maladies for centuries in Chinese medicine. But to Clay Lank, it’s “a pain in the rump.” At 83 years of age, Lank is on a mission to eliminate burdock, thistle and purple loosestrife from McGuire Lake Park. In summer, Lank begins his attack on the offending weeds at 5:30 in the morning, working tirelessly until 8, when his breakfast is served. “When days were cooler, I’d wander back out to get rid of the weeds in the sidewalk,” he says. “Each day I find a new project area.” A resident of the McGuire Lake Congregate Living facility, Lank’s room looks out at the park. “How could you not fall in love with that view?” he asks. Lank is exceedingly familiar with thistles and the downside of burdock root. Growing up on a farm in Vegreville, Alta., Lank spent many an hour hauling thistles out of the ground. “If you can get them by the root you stop them,” he says. “I would have been happy not to be interested in burdock, but years ago when I working with horses, they would come in with their manes and tails loaded with burdocks; their tails particularly looking just like a four-by-four (piece of lumber).” As well as being a farrier, among other careers, Lank hauled livestock in his younger days and says some calves at auction were so covered

Back at McGuire Lake, Lank works more than two hours every morning except Sunday, when he goes to church. It is an excellent opportunity to get exercise and fresh air and a sense of doing something worthwhile and constructive in the community, he says. “This has been a lifesaver for me – I can’t sit around twiddling around, watching TV or sitting on my rump,” he says. “I figure I am in reasonably good health. The exercise

keeps me in shape and builds a good appetite.” More than that, Lank can’t bear to see the burdocks and thistles growing around this real gem of the Shuswap. “I can’t cope with it. My answer to the problem is do something about it,” he says. “I can’t understand how anybody has let it go. For years, nobody has tried to eliminate it.” Lank says in years past he has seen burdocks growing six, seven and eight feet tall around the lake and explains that when the flower heads rip-

en, the burrs cling to whatever comes within their reach and seeds can be blown around or transported by animals. Sitting in the cool shade of the walled-in courtyard of the facility that is his home, Lank points to a small garden beneath a tree. Lurking there is a small burdock, a plant with an astounding capacity to grow quickly, he says. McGuire Lake Congregate Living employee Sherrie Favell says Lank works everywhere. “We have the cleanest parking lot in town; weeds don’t stand a chance around here,” she says, listing some of the other projects Lank has taken on, including keeping the adjoining Gentech Engineering parking lot clean. “If I see you drop a cigarette around here, I’ll kick you in the rumpus,” Lank says with a laugh. That’s something Mayor Nancy Cooper (a confirmed non-smoker who sees Lank often on her walks), promised him she wouldn’t ever do. “I see him out there cleaning up the garbage, even all the cigarette butts,” she says. “What a great volunteer; I really appreciate what he does and I think the public works people really do too because they can’t get to every cigarette butt.” Lank meanwhile, intends to fight the burdock and thistles as long as he can, preferring to remain active until the end. “If I last until the end of September or into October, I’ll have something to do,” he says. “I would like to check out definitely doing something, not lying in a hospital bed or in my room.”

Dramatic comeback for champs Baseball: Heat claim big victory.

The Salmon Arm Heat travelled to Kelowna this past weekend for the Valley of Champions Tournament – and showed they were up to the title. The tournament featured All Star baseball teams from the Interior and Coastal divisions and each team was guaranteed four games, with the finals for the top teams held on Sunday. The blistering heat in Kelowna made playing two games on Friday and two games on Saturday exceptionally draining on the players, but all teams dug deep into their inner strength and competed exceptionally well. Salmon Arm played strongly in the round-robin portion of the tournament, coming away with a three-wins and oneloss record. The team then had to wait until the final game was played to determine their standing. As it turned out, their record placed them in first place overall and set the stage for the championship game on Sunday at noon against an impressive Abbottsford team. The temperature at the start of the game was sitting at 37 degrees in the shade. Salmon Arm got off to a slow start and were down 5-0 after the first two innings. Hits started to go their way at the top of the third and they held Abbottsford at bay in the bottom of that inning and came out of it down 5-2. See Come-from-behind on page A16

Shuswap FC Boys U17/18 player Joe Binns goes head-to-head with a Grand Prairie Wolves player in the gold-medal game. Grand Praire won 3 - 1. Shuswap FC 10/11 boys player Dayton Seibel splits the defence during a Boys U11 game played Saturday against Prince George.

Soccer successes in blistering heat Players were pitted against each other as well as the heat on the weekend for Shuswap FC’s first Twin Anchors Shore ‘N’ Score Cup. Held mainly at Little Mountain and Blackburn fields, 31

teams from Salmon Arm to as far away as Grand Prairie played in mid-30 degree temperatures. Shuswap teams created success galore, with two gold medals, five silver and one bronze. In the U11/12 girls division,

the U12 Strikers earned gold while the U11 Sharp Shooters took silver. For the U16-18 girls, the SAS Senior Jewels won gold and the U16 Shuswap girls, silver. In U12/13 boys, Shuswap claimed silver. For the U13/14

girls division, Shuswap earned silver, as did Shuswap FC in the U17/18 boys division. Shuswap claimed bronze in the U14 boys grouping, while the local U11 boys took fourth place.

Billets needed The Salmon Arm SilverBacks are seeking energetic, and caring fans to become billet families for their student athletes. The hockey club greatly values the billet families that host the SilverBack players when they are away from their homes during the hockey season. Without the help of billet families, the players would not be able to play for the team. As a billet family you play an important role. By opening your home to the players, you provide them with a stable and secure home away from home. There are many long-lasting friendships that develop between players and billets. If you are interested in becoming a billet, email Evelyn Cook at: ecookie13@telus.net, or contact her directly by calling 250-832-5232.

Heading to Nanaimo for rugby By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

Sports of all varieties have been a constant part of Avia LaTosky’s life, but it’s rugby that’s sending her to the BC Summer Games this year. LaTosky, 15, is excited to don her team jersey and hit the rugby field in Nanaimo from July 17 to 19. She decided to try out for the Summer Games after hearing about how much her mother, Jacqueline, enjoyed participating in synchronized swimming as a youth. “It was kind of spontaneous,” said LaTosky, who expressed that she was both nervous and excited to be competing. “I thought I should see what it was like.” LaTosky, who will play with the U17 Thompson-Okanagan girls team at the Games, also said she has always wanted to try playing at a higher calibre level of rugby, and the BC Summer Games will give her that chance. Joining the Salmon Arm Secondary Jewels rugby team was also a spontaneous decision for LaTosky, who decided to try out with a friend two years ago.

Rugby was also a good fit for LaTosky’s schedule, as in the winter months she’s busy playing ringette, which she has done for the past eight years. She grew to like rugby and plans to continue playing throughout high school, and maybe into her postgraduate years. “I like that there’s not that many rules,” said LaTosky, who usually plays the inside centre position. “And there’s not really that many stoppages.” LaTosky likes the fact that such a wide variety of girls can play the sport, and she’s made some valuable friendships. “I’m more of a teamoriented type of person,” said LaTosky, who has enjoyed a variety of team sports such as soccer, volleyball and hockey. She’s also an avid swimmer and is currently working towards getting her lifeguard certification. Even though she’s only been playing for two years, Latosky was already named MVP during a tournament with the Jewels earlier this year. The BC Summer Games rugby format will be slightly different than what LaTosky

The games will be played with only seven girls. LaTosky has played sevens before, but she says it will mean a lot more running and more contact, which means she’s had to have an extensive training schedule. Each week she meets with her teammates for five hours of practice, but she also has an individual training regi-

men that involves running five kilometres a week and completing a number of shuttle runs to train for agility and stamina. She says her training is progressive and she has also spent time at the gym to stay in shape for the Games. “I like staying fit and challenging myself a lot,” she says. LaTosky has her eye on obtaining one of the Coast Capital Savings Athlete Bursaries,

which amount to $500 and are given to 16 athletes at the Games, and she’s also looking forward to the opportunity to get coached by John LaBoyne, who is also from Salmon Arm. “I’m really excited to be coached by him, because of his experience,” said LaTosky. LaTosky will be one of nine athletes from the Shuswap participating in the games, which hosts a total of 3,200 athletes, coaches and officials. Tyler Webster-Locke from Salmon Arm, and Olin Mosher from Tappen will be coached by Salmon Arm coach Jana Montgomery in the swimming category. Madison Porteous and Heather Wolfear will both hit the mat in wrestling. Drew Bannister will be competing in lacrosse and Shayla White will be taking part in volleyball. McKenzie Woldring will be competing in the athletics category. Gina Selfe and AnnMarie Crandlemire, both from Sicamous, will be playing girls softball. Peter McLean, from Salmon Arm, will be assistant coach of rowing at the games.

Come-from-behind win Continued from pg. 13 The fourth inning gave Salmon Arm another run and again they held Abbotsford from getting any runs as they moved to within two points. Salmon Arm plugged another one point in the fifth inning and went into the sixth inning down 5-4. The top of the sixth

inning saw the team at their best as they drove in five runs to Abbottsford’s two and were up 9-7. Top of the seventh inning gave Salmon Arm another four runs and they were ahead 13-7. All they had to do was shut down their opponents in the bottom of the seventh to win the championship, but Abbottsford wasn’t

about to accept defeat without a fight. They piled in four runs before Salmon Arm’s pitching and some spectacular defensive work finally ended the game in a 13-11 final score. The team was exhilarated about winning the Valley of Champions tournament and were exhausted from playing in the unrelenting heat for three days.

Off to Indigenous Games By Martha Wickett and Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

Jared Sharp is taking his passion for basketball to the next level. Sharp has been chosen to play for the B.C. U16 boys team in the North American Indigenous Games coming up July 20 to 27 in Regina. Sharp has been taking basketball seriously since Grade 8, playing on school teams since then. “I love it, it’s my favourite sport,” he says. “It’s so fast-paced compared to all the other sports, always moving back and forth all game.” It’s a passion he shares with about nine other boys his age, explains his mom Shannon. “They play every day. It’s first thing in the morning in the gym, an hour and a half before school starts.” All of the practice paid off, for Jared was noticed when he attended regional tryouts in Kamloops in November for the Games. Six of about 20 boys were chosen to go to the Langley Event Centre in December where they competed with about 30 players for a spot on the provincial team. Jared enjoyed the experience. “I think it was pretty good. The guys that were there were really good, really tough competition. I recognized some of them from

playing in the school leagues – some of the guys from Kelowna.” The team will play three games to determine who moves on to the semifinals, first against Florida, then Colorado and finally Alberta. This Thursday, July 17, the team will meet at the Richmond Olympic Oval to get in some training before they fly to Saskatchewan on Saturday. Asked about strengths, Jared says humbly that it’s probably his shooting, or maybe his defence. His mom explains that he’s shy and she has a little more to say. “I was going to say the ability to work as a team. He calls the plays, I think he shows some good leadership.” Adds Jared: “It’s kind of hard to say that about myself.” Team BC coaches have said they think the team is a contender for the gold medal. As for future aspirations, Jared isn’t thinking too far ahead just yet. “I want to play high school senior for sure and, if I could play college – I don’t know if I’ll get selected or not.” Another Salmon Arm athlete, Paige Coutlee, will be joining Sharp at the Games, but her sport of choice is swimming. Coutlee, 15, has been in the water since she was in Grade 4, spending time with the Shuswap Swimming Club

Since then, she has competed in AA, AAA and Canadian Western National levels of competition, but this is the first time she’s been in the Games. By having top racing times, Coutlee qualified as first or second pick in her age category. She’s excited, yet a little nervous, to compete at the Games. “I think it will be a neat experience,” she says. Coutlee’s competitive spirit is a bonus in her swimming career. “I like the competi-

By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

A Salmon Arm lacrosse player is in Denver to represent team Canada in the World Lacrosse Championships. Brian Blair is playing for the Canada west team, in the 55-plus division, and competing against teams from across the world. He was hand-picked to attend, and was excited to hit the field. The games started on July 10 and will run until the 19th. “It’s awesome,” said Blair. “I never thought it would happen.” Blair started playing lacrosse when he was a child, and has continued to play consistently for most of his life. “I just tried and liked it,” said Blair. “It gets in your blood.” Having played box lacrosse for most of his career, Blair says he isn’t concerned about playing field lacrosse at the championships; however, he thinks the biggest challenge will be the increase in al-

He spent time preparing for the altitude shift before leaving for the games. One of the major reasons Blair took a liking to lacrosse is because it allows him to stay active. “It’s a great activity and good physical exercise,” said Blair. “It’s also a really good way to get rid of frustration.” But the fitness aspect isn’t the only reason Blair loves the sport. “The camaraderie is incredible in lacrosse,” he said. “When you’re

on the floor you’re playing against a team, but afterwards you can all sit and talk.” Blair has had multiple stints at the Canadian Masters Championships, and currently is the only Salmon Arm member of the Okanagan Masters Lacrosse team. Blair has also tried his hand at coaching lacrosse as a way to give back to the sport. For eight years he coached teams in Langley and Aldergrove, and also spent time coaching

the Shuswap Outlaws for one season, leading them to provincial championships. His past coaching career ties into Blair’s current desire to see the lacrosse presence in Salmon Arm grow. “It’s about trying to keep the young guys interested,” said Blair, noting he thinks every kid should at least try the sport. Blair says lacrosse isn’t as rough as it may seem, and that it’s also a cheaper alternative to hockey.

Maerz to punch above weight in Nanaimo Salmon Arm’s Bulldog Boxing owner, Peggy Maerz, is fighting in Nanaimo on July 18 at the Port Theatre. Maerz’s normal fight weight is 112 pounds. This fight was originally for 119, but has been negotiated to 115. Opponent Alisha McPhee is bigger, but Maerz is relentless and strong. Maerz has been working with one of her boxers, undefeated Ryan Hornung, to get her ready as her trainer.

It was a welcome surprise for Maerz to have Mickey Sims, her former and longtime trainer, pop by to check for fight readiness. Sims had words of advice for Peggy and Ryan, and confirmed they are on track. Maerz will need to stay settled on her feet and cut off the ring to her opponent. She is grateful to have some of her recreational members attend the fight to support.

It was an exciting battle that saw McGregor knock his opponent’s mouth guard out with a beautiful left hook. Pam Wocnitz fought a girl 12 pounds heavier, stopping her with an eight count. However, the judges gave

Wocnitz a split decision loss. Maerz, Wocnitz’s coach, saw it as a split decision with the first two rounds going to Wocnitz and the last going to her opponent. Ches Meikle fought his first fight at 45 years old, a dream he has carried since he was 18. His exhibition match was against a man 20 years younger and 50 pounds heavier.

Music makers: Renowned artist Jim Byrnes, left,has joined this year’s Roots and Blues slate. Popular home-town country pop singer Jesse Mast performs live at Cinema Under the Stars, a Roots & Blues event featuring a documentary on The Sheepdogs.

Bluesman shares legendary journey Another legend has signed onto this year’s Roots and Blues Festival, which plays out Aug. 15 to 17. American-born, Canadian by choice, Jim Byrnes may be best known for playing ‘Lifeguard’ on the CBS series Wiseguy (19871990), and Joe Dawson in the syndicated series Highlander (1993-98). A handsome man, often bearded, Byrnes lost both his legs when, while helping push a stalled truck on a highway, he was hit from behind by a car. After recuperating, he pursued work as a musician, and it’s the music that has had the most serious impact on his life, filling his need to be constantly creative. Born and raised in St. Louis, Byrnes grew up on the city’s north side. One of the neighbourhood bars had Ike and Tina Turner as the house band. As a teenager going to music clubs, he and his buddy were often the only white people in the place. “We never had any problems. We were too naïve, and had too much respect for the

music and culture – they knew it, they could tell.” Starting piano at age five, by 13 he was singing and playing blues guitar. Over the years, he has had the good fortune to appear with a virtual ‘who’s who’ of the blues – from Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker to Taj Mahal and Robert Cray. Byrnes moved to Vancouver in the mid’70s after years of drifting, working odd jobs and playing music. In 1981 he formed the blues group, The Jim Byrnes Band, and began playing dates throughout Canada. The band released three albums: Burnin’ in 1981, followed by I Turned My Days Into Nights in 1987 and 1995’s Juno-Award winning That River. In 2004 he hooked up with Steve Dawson, one of North America’s most critically acclaimed roots music producers. Together they created five outstanding albums: 2004’s Fresh Horses, 2006’s Juno Award- winning House Of Refuge, 2009’s My Walking Stick, 2010’s Everywhere West, a salute to Byrne’s

origins and influences, and 2012’s I Hear The Wind In The Wires, an album of songs from the golden age of country music. Byrnes and Dawson were back at it again in 2014 with St. Louis Times, Byrnes’ most personal record to date. Reminiscences of his childhood home of St. Louis are expressed through original compositions as well as versions of songs he grew up with that were recorded by hometown musicians. By revisiting songs associated with Chuck Berry, Stump Johnson, Little Milton, Peetie Wheatstraw and more, Byrnes shares an intimate musical journey through a world that has passed by. Although the 250th anniversary of the founding of St. Louis and 10 years of partnership with Dawson may have been the original motivation for recording St. Louis Times, the sheer joy in the music is the real reason to celebrate. As the weather heats up and the countdown to Roots and Blues begins in earnest,

there is reason to celebrate another band appearing this year. Cinema Under the Stars, this Saturday at Haney Heritage Village features The Sheepdogs Have At It, a documentary about the small-town, Canadian rock band’s rise from obscurity to the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. The gates open at 7:30 p.m. and hometown talents Jesse Mast and Kieran Rambo entertain with live music from 8 to 9 p.m. when the film begins. There is limited seating. Tickets at $10 are available at 250-833-4096, or at www.routesandblues.ca (that’s “routes,” not “roots”). On another important note, the festival is still substantially short of volunteers. Join the fun before, during or after and earn a free ride to the festival. Volunteers between the ages of 14 and 18 must have an adult volunteering as well. To join the merry band of volunteers (who also get access to special off-site evening jams) call Skye or Jeff at 250-833-4096.

Band brings wow factor By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

The last time Raquel Rawn played Wednesday on the Wharf, she was part of a Salmon Arm Secondary Band led by Jim Johnston. The classically trained violinist will be back next Wednesday as part of a totally different music scene. For the past year, the 2008 SAS grad has been part of the popular Vancouver band, Headwater. Described as fierce, sentimental and sexy, the band has earned a reputation as one of the finest acoustic roots groups around. Formed in 2003 by childhood friends Jonas Shandel (vocals/ guitar/banjo) and Matt Bryant, who has since left the band, Headwater’s music was inspired by the rugged wilderness of Lynn Headwaters Regional Park on Vancouver’s North Shore. Following Bryant’s departure, Shandel has been collaborating with new singers, songwriters, musicians and producers. Enter Rawn, who happens to live across the street from Shandel’s Vancouver home. Rawn began playing violin at the age of six, first studying with Susan Aylard, before heading to Vernon for more training. Rawn describes Salmon Arm as an artistic community and a great place to grow up in musically. “I played in all the Shuswap festivals and at the art gallery,” says Rawn. “I went through SAS band with Jim Johnston and PJ (Brian Pratt-Johnson.)” After graduating, Rawn enrolled in Capilano College’s

says. “It’s a whole new challenge having to write my own material.” Rawn says Shandel pushes her to write, mixing classical training with more folk and pop melodies.” “I do really enjoy performing, but as great as classical is, no one is gonna be dancing to a Vivaldi Concerto,” she says, thankful for the classical base but equally thankful for not being constricted by it. “When learning classical, you’re not taught to improvise or make things up on your own, but that’s what I’ve been doing for the last couple of years.” Rawn is excited to be playing in her hometown for the first time July 23 at Marine Park. Wednesday on the Wharf begins at 6:45 and admission is by donation.

Capturing the heart of the city Get your camera ready! Downtown has announced the first edition of the “Heart of Salmon Arm Photo Contest.” There’s more to downtown than buildings, roads, and the brick and concrete that surround us, says organizer Roger Parenteau. “It is the people that give our community its charm and character. They create the social, economic, cultural and environmental wellbeing of our community and are the keepers of the legacy that we leave our children and future generations.” Downtown Salmon Arm is calling on all photographers and community members to help celebrate the beautiful downtown, the story it tells about our community, our history, and the people around us. “The purpose of the contest is to celebrate the cultural core of our

community and the importance of the people in it and in our lives,” Parenteau says. Share your stories along with the photos, describing who is in the picture, where it was taken, what was happening and why it is significant to you and/or to the community through a maximum 250-word description.

A panel of judges will choose 12 finalists. Grand, second and third-place winners will be chosen by community voting and will win prizes of $500, $350 and $250 respectively. In addition to prizes for the top three photos, honorariums for select submissions will be offered over the course of

the contest, which began July 14 and closes July 17, 2015. For more information about the contest, contact Downtown Salmon Arm at 250832-5440. Details, registration and release forms are also available at salmonarmdowntown.com under the Community link.

In Memoriam

MARTIN – AMIDIE JOSEPH ALBERT (AL) APRIL 10, 1934 – JULY 11, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Albert Martin on July 11, 2014. Albert was born in the town of Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan. He spent his working life in Coquitlam. Albert retired at age 55 and moved with his wife Nora to Chase, BC. Albert will be remembered for his love of life and his enjoyment of music, fishing and curling. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and enjoyed giving back to the community. Albert was predeceased by his mother Yvonne, father William, brothers Adrian, Marcel and Gilles, sister, Terry and son, Glen. Albert is survived by his wife Nora, daughter Arlene, son Larry, stepdaughters Maureen (Gerald), Janet (Dwayne) and Lisa (David), brothers Roland (Pam), Lou (Terry), Maurice (Donna), sisters Clare, Jeanette, Vivian, Rachel (Ray), sisters-in-law Laurette, Sally and Marie, grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Mass of the Christian Burial will be celebrated on July 18, 2014 @ 11:00 am at our Lady of the Lake Parish, 2385 Golf Course Drive, Blind Bay, BC. The family extends their thanks and gratitude to the nurses and staff of Marjorie Willoughby Hospice. Donations are gratefully accepted to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S., Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9. Online condolences may be sent through Albert’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Al’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com. EVA VOSTNER It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Eva on July 5, 2014 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital with loved ones by her side. Eva was predeceased by her husband, Joe, of 45 years. She was born in Germany on March 10, 1935 and spent her childhood there. Her early adult years were spent in Germany & Sweden before immigrating to Canada which quickly became her new home. Over the years she moved from East to West with her family, spending time first in Quebec, then to Alberta & the past 23 years in the neighborhood of Sunnybrae, Tappen, BC where she & her husband built their retirement home together. After Joe’s passing in late 2008, Eva continued living in the home they built together. With enthusiasm, she pursued her passion for gardening, going on her daily walks with her side-kick, Pepper, and spending time in Calgary with her daughter Tess and son-in-law, Jason. Left to cherish her memory is her daughter Tess (Jason) Vostner-Bell of Calgary, her brother Kurt (Heidi) Kasdorf of Wisconsin, close family friends Trish & Al Probyn as well as family and friends both near and far. The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Dr. Erasmus Bonthuys for his compassion & kindness over the years, as well as the ICU nurses at Shuswap Lake General Hospital for all the love and care shown towards Eva and her loved ones. Respecting Eva’s wishes, there will be no formal service. A donation in memory of Eva may be sent to your local SPCA or animal shelter (a cause dear to her). Online condolences may be sent through Eva’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

PHILLIPS, ARCHIBALD MCEACHERN DECEMBER 29, 1921 – JULY 4, 2014 Archie was born in Kamloops, the youngest of five children. He was predeceased by his father just prior to his birth. He left school after Grade 8 to assist his widowed mother on the farm in Westsyde in Kamloops. At the age of 20, Archie joined the army, serving in WWII in the Calgary Tank Corp in Italy and Holland, during which time he contracted TB. Upon returning to Canada he spent 3 years recovering at the TB Sanitorium at Tranquille in Kamloops. While there, he completed his High School Diploma by correspondence. Upon his release from the TB San, he went on to complete a B.A. and a teaching degree from UBC, and later on, an M.Ed. at UVic. His teaching career spanned 30 years, mostly in Norkam Secondary School in Kamloops. He enjoyed a rich family life with his wife Joan, and 4 daughters – he always proclaimed his greatest joy and accomplishment in life was his family. He retired in 1983, when he and Joan moved out to Celista, Shuswap Lake, where he continued to pursue his passions of reading, philosophy, astronomy, carpentry, environmental issues, the local Naturalist Club, and eventually became an active member of the Anglemont Seniors Community. While in the north Shuswap, Archie – always an avid writer -- composed a hefty and fascinating book of memoirs, read and enjoyed by many family and friends. Archie most loved being engaged in lively discussion about matters of the universe and of the heart. In 2007, he and Joan moved to Salmon Arm, where they have enjoyed 7 yrs of being part of this vibrant community. Archie leaves behind his loving wife, Joan of 58 years, and 4 adoring daughters, Maureen (Ted Brown), Wendy (Ted Sharples), Susan (Barry Durward), Debbie (Al Bates), as well as 9 grandchildren who were the pride of his life: Jacob, Noah, James, Lucy, Jeremy, Aurora, Hannah, Rachel, and Teslyn. Also, many nieces and nephews, with each of whom he had a special relationship. The family wants to thank Dr. Currie and the Emergency Nursing staff at the Salmon Arm Hospital for their thoughtful support and care. A memorial celebration of Archie’s life will be held at a later date. Online condolences can be sent through Archie’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

(Gertrude) Eileen Blais (Gertrude) Eileen Blais, nee Ruckle, born March 3, 1926 and slipped free July 6, 2014. Mom was born on the family homestead in Celista, B.C. with the help of the local midwife, who extracted a promise from our grandfather that if the child were a girl, she would be named after herself, Gertrude Bragg. Our grandfather promised, but swore that the name Gertrude would never pass his lips - and it did not! Our mother grew up to be something of a rebel, and taught us all to be critical thinkers; she was an advocate of social justice long before there was such a term. Also of organic gardening, repurposing and recycling - she had an artist’s eye and skilled hands. When times were tough, and they often were, those talents were put to use. She could look at a much admired outfit in the catalogue and recreate it using an old coat or dress from a rummage sale for fabric; sweaters were unravelled and knit into new; our father’s army issue greatcoat became a pair of work pants worn for many, many years logging in the bush. Mom was the scourge of craft markets; she could walk through, see something she liked, turn it over and over in her hands, and then go home and reproduce it for herself. Likewise, a garden tour would end with wee slips of cuttings being pinched off and tucked in her purse, later to become their own handsome specimens.

Hometown Store Sears is currently seeking an owner for the Salmon Arm store. As a Sears Hometown store owner you will provide Customers with major brand products ranging from home appliances and mattresses to tractors and lawn mowers, as well as full catalogue service. Sears is Canada's largest retailer of major appliances. As one of Canada’s premier retailers, Sears knows what works and offers smart business models that allow you to do what you do best – develop and maintain relationships with both customers and the community while Sears takes care of back- end management, computer systems, advertising, marketing and inventory. It’s a win-win scenario!

Her infectious sense of humour often bordered on the absurd, but infectious it was - on more than one occasion, our father walked into the house only to find every female in it doubled over with laughter, tears streaming down our faces, and promptly walked right back out. People watching was a pastime that she engaged in till the end - her observations pithy, insightful, and often terribly funny. Our mother was never shy with an opinion; she was an independent thinker who taught us to act on our beliefs.

Please call 1-800-698-7088 or email: dealopp@sears.ca Make everyday a great day!

She was generous to those in need, and despised hypocrisy in all its forms; she made us strong, and we are grateful for that. Her legacy will live on in her children, Marcia Miner (Clint), Ron Blais, Terri Smith (Dan) and Faye Cassia (Jim), grandchildren Tymbre and Tyler Miner, Vanessa (Blais) Wheatley, Jon Bredick, Maitland, Christopher and Logan Cassia, as well as her greatgrandchildren, Dallen, Braydon, Drey, Vienne, Nash, Ashlee, Tristan, Aidan and Deklen. Messages of sympathy may be sent to Eileen’s family by viewing her obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com. Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.
