Megan undergoes transplant By martha Wickett obServer STAFF

They were hoping for a miracle – and they got one. Megan leverrier’s family received the word on Saturday they had been praying for. A liver had become available for transplant, a child’s liver. “I’m just so thrilled,” said Megan’s aunt Tracey nickolson Monday, who has remained in the Shuswap. “everything worked out like clockwork – it was definitely the miracle we were waiting for.” The blood type of the child donor who had died was a match for Megan, so surgery was scheduled immediately. “It happened so fast, we’re still in shock,” she says, her voice bubbling with gratitude for the bitter-sweet gift. “It’s the greatest gift of life.” Surgery began at 5 a.m. Toronto time Sunday and, for the next eight hours, 21 Megan doctors worked to remove Leverrier four-year-old Megan’s liver and the huge tumour liver recipient attached to it – and then replace it with the donor liver. Michelle and Jaime, Megan’s parents, posted on Facebook Monday that the tumour weighed 13.2 pounds, almost double Megan’s birth weight. Megan remains in the intensive care unit in Toronto’s Sick children’s Hospital, the facility she has been in since April as doctors have attempted to shrink the tumour while waiting for a donor liver. Her parents write: “She wakes up now and then and tries to talk around her breathing tube but it is important that she rests. We hold her little hand and try to give her as much comfort as possible.” now it’s a waiting game. “As long as her body doesn’t reject it and no infection sets in,” says nickolson. “The doctors said they couldn’t have done it any better... She was a little trooper getting through that eight-hour surgery. It’s the best we could have hoped for. everybody’s just elated.” The leverriers are expected to have to remain in Toronto for several months as Megan recovers.

Council votes for raise remuneration: Increase won’t take effect until January 2015.

By Lachlan Labere obServer STAFF

Salmon Arm mayor and council voted Monday to give the next mayor and council a 19 and 44 per cent raise, respectively. As of Jan. 1, 2015, remuneration for council will be increased from $15,000 to $21,660, and from $44,800 to $53,725 for the mayor (totals exclude expenses). Future an-

nual increases will be tied to the b.c. consumer Price Index. council approved both of these following the presentation of a survey by Maurice lamb of lamb and Associates. lamb was hired by the city to complete a salary and benefit survey for mayor and council. Summing up his findings, lamb said he found the mayor’s pay to be $8,925 less than

the survey average, while councillors are paid $6,660 less. “So, my recommendation is that you pay the survey average rates,” said lamb. “I think it’s very important that municipalities maintain survey average rates, because if you don’t, all of sudden one year you’re faced with a huge catch-up, and also, you want to have rates out there to attract more people to run for

political office.” The survey results provided to council include remuneration rates for other b.c. communities with populations similar in size to Salmon Arm’s. Among them is cranbrook, where the mayor is paid $53,319 and council $21,676, langford ($34,252 and $16,107) and Squamish ($64,490 and $27,731). See Kentel on page A2

PUBLIC APPEAL

Blind Bay Resort Development Application, Bylaws 725-2, 701-79, 900-5 Letter to the Editor I am writing on behalf of our family to ask for public support for our final development plans for Blind Bay Resort. We once again are trying to gain our approvals for 19 waterfront recreational RV sites on land that has been historically used for this since 1972. We also wish to move our moorage dock deeper, to enhance our foreshore environmental impact and guest safety. We recognize the public sentiment to guard our waterfront areas against prolific high density development, but know we are not proposing this nor can exist without a compatible use of this land. If you’ve followed our story, you’ll know we work hard to enhance our community, creating jobs, taxes, and have improved considerably the social and environmental influence our resort has upon this area. Our application also provides for a public access easement, and will contribute 5% of the land value to the CSRD Parks fund. Please help us by sending a clear message of support: Attend our Public Hearing on August 6th, at the Sorrento Memorial Hall, at 6:00PM. Or send your letter of support to our CSRD Senior Planner Dan Passmore, at dpassmore@csrd.bc.ca. Each letter must be addressed to be considered. If you need more information, please view our web site at www.blindbayresort.com, or come directly to our resort for a personal tour while all our guests are here. We would appreciate it!

Blind Bay: CSRD directors to consider resort plan. By Barb Brouwer

OBSERVER STAFF

Controversy is percolating around Blind Bay Resort development plans. And anyone who has an opinion to voice must do so before or during a public hearing scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6 at Sorrento Memorial Hall. At a July 17 board meeting Columbia Shuswap Regional District electoral area directors voted unanimously to give Blind Bay Resort owner Dan Baskill’s development plan second reading and send it on to public hearing. While Baskill maintains his development will benefit local businesses and encourage tourists to move to the South Shuswap, others are crying foul on various fronts – including the size and possible impact of his proposed dock and the implications of putting 112 seasonal units on a foreshore that is zoned single-family residential. Baskill’s proposal had been turned down at a January board meeting, a move that caused an uproar among his supporters, who accused directors of voting on a project they had never seen. Normally, a proposal does not return to the board for at least six months without substantial changes to the application. “There was a lot of confusion and the directors brought it back on the basis of a two-thirds vote. You don’t want to use it willy-nilly but it is there,” said CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton of the mechanism that allows the early return of an application. “In staff’s mind, the changes weren’t significant.” But Baskill believes otherwise. He says he reduced the numbers of moorage slips from 70 to 55 and offered five per cent

Baskill argues his property was a campground long before it became a resort in 1972, and has replaced previous problem parties on the site with a safe, secure resort for families. Shuswap Water Action Team president Ray Nadeau looks beyond the good times. A member of a committee that created the new official community plan (OCP) that was adopted in March and which clearly limits foreshore development, Nadeau and SWAT are taking issue primarily with the proposed dock.

He says the resort’s “massive private dock” will be the longest on Shuswap Lake, exceeds minimum setbacks, poses a safety risk and will encroach on four adjacent properties. SWAT also opposes the seasonal nature of Baskill’s development, maintaining it will further burden a small and already overcrowded bay. CSRD Development Services manager Gerald Christie says after the board’s decision to give the proposal first reading in May, staff sent out referrals to all required agencies. “All have come back with green lights,” he says, noting there were no significant changes. “As far as the new

OCP bylaw #725 goes, there are several instances that don’t speak favourably to this type of development on the foreshore.” In the bylaw that will now go to public hearing, one of the amendments is to add a new policy exempting the property from eight other policies within the OCP. “Those policies were recommended, and nothing less than that would do to the people of the South Shuswap,” says CSRD senior planner Dan Passmore of the OCP that was eight years in the making and included significant community input. “This exemption flies in the

City facing big expenditures By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF

Salmon Arm council is making public awareness a priority for two projects requiring the city to borrow $2.8 million. Last week, council gave three readings to bylaws for two projects, allowing the city to proceed with alternate approval processes for borrowing. The city needs to borrow $1.8 million for phase 1 of the Foreshore Sanitary Sewer Main Rehabilitation Project. Regarded as high priority, this project involves the upgrading of 1.5 kilometres of pipe along the foreshore, between the Raven and Appleyard subdivisions. The project would also relocate 800 metres of sanitary sewer from the foreshore at Canoe Beach to 78th Avenue NE. For phase 1 of the New Cemetery Development Project, the city would borrow $1,020,000. This project is to expand the city’s interment capacity, as the Mt. Ida Cemetery is nearing capacity. In the case of both projects, the alterna-

tive approval process requires 1,336 electoral responses to legally stop the city from borrowing, unless voter assent is acquired through referendum. The deadline to submit electoral response forms is Monday, Oct. 6 at 4 p.m. Reflecting on the last time council had an alternative approval process – for the leasing of property relating to the future Ross Street underpass – Coun. Alan Harrison said more work needs to be done this time around to inform the public. “The last time we went through an alternative approval process was about the lease… I think we did a really poor job of presenting the reasons why we wanted to do that. So I want to make sure we don’t make the same mistake again,” said Harrison, who recommended the city include a one-page information bulletin in one of the Friday newspapers received by all residents. The ad would explain what the projects are, why they are being done and how the city plans to finance them. Coun. Marg Kentel

Amendments to OCP requested Continued from pg. 3 face of that.” The eight areas that would need OCP amendments deal with respecting environmental and foreshore values, permitted land uses within secondary settlement areas, maintaining near-shore areas of Shuswap Lake ecologically intact by focusing development away from the shoreline and by minimizing impacts from moorage facilities. In terms of moorage, the new OCP says it may be included only for fee-simple waterfront parcels. New development proposals get one moorage per waterfront parcel or 30 metres of water frontage.

Lastly, large-scale commercial development is not acceptable in secondary settlement areas and should be directed to the village centre. “What is being done is a very site-specific zoning,” Christie says. “Staff have pointed out, in both our reports, the issues and inconsistencies with the new OCP. Now we’re waiting to hear from the public on these proposed amendments.” Following the public hearing, all public input relating to the proposal then goes to the board for its consideration of third reading. No submissions can be received after the close of the public hearing.

suggested an open house also be held. Council wound up agreeing to both, though Harrison stressed the importance of getting the message out through the paper. “I like the information leaflet in the free newspapers because then everybody gets it…,” said Harrison. The need for the foreshore sewer main replacement came about during the flooding of 2012 when a structural failure occurred along the foreshore sanitary

Carl Bannister ADMINISTRATOR line. In a report to council, city engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen says crews quickly fixed

the problem, but it was found that due to the line’s age, the material used and “geotechnical conditions,” further issues are anticipated as the sewer main nears the end of its lifespan. City administrator Carl Bannister said that if the city proceeds with this project, there will be an increase in sanitary user rates of $22.25. He added the city is applying for a federal grant worth $600,000, which would decrease the rate increase to $15.

If work progresses as well as Berezan Group president Ralph Berezan hopes, a gaming centre in Salmon Arm will open in May. “Finally I think we have a construction agreement between myself and the band,” said Berezan Monday, noting a bid has been let to demolish the old GM building on the corner of 10th Street SW and the Trans-Canada Highway. “We have been waiting for the federal government to approve and sign everything.” Demolition and clean-up is expected to take 10 days, beginning the first week of August. The next step is to verify cost details with companies consulted last year. “We have an agreement with the Adams Lake Band, we always want to give first chance to band members in the immediate area,” says Berezan of employment opportunities. “The Adams Lake Band have been a pleasure

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Silver lining to grey days While most Shuswap residents and certainly the tourists hope for sunshine, there’s more than a few who don’t shed a tear when it rains. For them, dark clouds and splattering drops translate into patrons coming through the doors and cash in the register. And when the rain is extreme, like it was last Wednesday and Thursday, it can really mean business. Junglemania, the indoor play centre for kids, reports being “crazy busy” and saw its second-busiest single day of operation on Thursday. Staff know that rain in the forecast means for a busier day at work. They know visitors will be looking for something to do, especially parents looking to take the edge off cooped-up kids. Rainy weather also has people looking for wet options, but of the indoor variety, at Salmon Arm’s swimming pool. On Wednesday, the pool was busy, but Thursday saw the pool hit the maximum capacity for patrons, something which aquatic supervisor Cheryl Hay says has not happened before in her 22 years working at the pool. She says the forecast is a factor in scheduling pool staff because rain means more swimmers. Thursday was an extreme case – and she credits the flexibility and willingness to pitch in by rec centre staff to ensure a safe, fun experience for pool patrons. Extra guards were brought in to work but, even so, the pool maxed out at 285 people and some potential swimmers had to be turned away for a couple of hours until the crowd thinned. The rec centre also became a go-to site for some Sicamous groups who had functions booked but couldn’t proceed due to the power outages in that community. The gym was also opened to accommodate 90 Girls Guides from the Enderby SOAR gathering, who were supposed to be participating in outdoor events. “It was a pretty unique set of circumstances that set us up for a really busy day,” says Hay. The Salmar Community Association’s movie theatres’ bottom line gets a boost from summer rain. At a previous AGM, directors remarked on how they should hope for poor summer weather to boost revenues for the non-profit community group. And when the rain comes out, so too do the wallets. Brad DeMille, owner of DeMille’s Farm Market, was not lamenting the downpour. “When it’s hot, people have other things on their minds, mostly about being on the lake; when it rains, their thoughts turn to stocking up, to eating and finding things to do. That’s where the zoo and the shops come in.” But DeMille notes, there can be a downside to large volumes of rainy-day customers. “They sometimes aren’t in the friendliest state of mind, they are wanting sunny holiday days and when it’s not living up to that, well, let’s just say they can show that a little more readily.” By now, we are back to our accustomed hot temperatures, but it never hurts to remember that rain must fall – and it can be just as beneficial to the Shuswap’s tourism industry as the sun.

Editorial

Cracking down on charities Relieving poverty is a charitable cause, preventing it is not. By now Canadians are aware of the Harper government’s view of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly when their agenda conflicts with the prime minister’s. Audits are one of the tools the government has used against outspoken critics who receive charitable status. According to Canadian Press, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is conducting audits on at least 52 NGOs, including the David Suzuki Foundation and West Coast Environmental Law, to assure they comply with guidelines restricting political activity. Oxfam Canada is now in the CRA’s crosshairs – over a mission statement. In its application for renewal of non-profit status, Oxfam Canada states its purpose is to “prevent and relieve poverty, vulnerability and suffering…”

In response, the CRA has told Oxfam that relieving poverty qualifies as charitable, preventing it does not. The CRA’s logic is that the 50-plus-yearold charitable organization might use its clout to benefit those who are not poor. Oxfam tends to focus on providing knowledge, skills and tools to help people help themselves. It also speaks out against political injustices that fuel poverty, using tactics such as its campaign to get Canada and other nations to take stringent action on tax evasion. The CRA is also attempting to do this via the Offshore Tax Informant Program. This “snitch line” has wound up more successful than anticipated, however, and critics are questioning whether the CRA, which has been severely downsized, can see the job through. This overload can’t help when the CRA is also being tasked with keeping charitable organizations in line.

Re the latter, the UN has agreed they pose a health hazard. All this government and industry blindness leads me to the following – a very serious situation. The nuclear industry says, ‘don’t worry be happy,’ re the following: On its third anniversary, the Fukushima disaster (nuclear) continues to plague the world, but citizens are being kept in the dark by governments and the nuclear industry. Do we know? It’s the 60th anniversary of the U.S. atomic test in the Marshall Islands of the South Pacific. A 15-megaton hydrogen bomb spread radiation over nearby inhabited islands and Utrik atolls. More than 230 people were exposed and their island contaminated. Three generations later, the population continues to be plagued with cancer and stillbirths and genetic problems The human suffering continues. This continued keeping us in the dark, like mushrooms is shocking and a tremendous betrayal. My nuclear information comes from Physicians for Global Survival and my medical doctor is a member. The PGS is a strong and active advocacy group (effects of all stages of the nuclear industry from uranium mining to nuclear waste disposal), who lost their charitable status for doing too much advocacy. They urge all to support their advocacy. Tom Sveinson

Charmain McClure “Yes. She has done quite a lot for the community.”

Jamie Hennessy “If that’s all she makes, I’d say yes, it’s overdue.”

Rachele Spanier No, the city is not willing to put money into other things. At this point it’s still a pretty good salary.”

Ronna Fraser “Yes. If other public officers have gotten raises, why shouldn’t the mayor?”

Concerns raised about plans for Blind Bay SWAT directors oppose Blind Bay Resort’s ‘high-density’ waterfront rezoning and massive marina expansion for many reasons as expressed by our members: Our OCP does not allow high-density waterfront development. Also, rezoning single family residential to high-density multi-family sets a major precedent. Restricting 112 units to seasonal occupancy adds congestion to the already busy bay during peak periods. The community needs year-round residents to improve community and business viability. The massive private dock will be the longest on the lake at 550 feet. A serious boating safety hazard. Their buoyed boats will intrude about 670 feet into the bay.

The CSRD maximum marina length is 441 feet The public marinas in Blind Bay are less. The width exceeds Bylaw 900 setbacks of 16 feet from side property lines extended into the lake. The dock would encroach in front of four adjacent properties (including a registered public access), impacting them drastically. It could result in legal action against the CSRD. The huge dock would cover 7,298 square metres, 30 per cent more than double its lease. They are not prohibited from pumping boat sewage into their septic system and overloading it. They should be prohibited from renting jetskis to keep the already numerous numbers to a minimum. They can be a near-shore safety

concern. Rentals are available at public marinas. They removed their boat launch. It should be replaced to minimize tax dollars on CSRD launches. We urge you to send comments to CSRD directors c/o Charles Hamilton at chamilton@csrd.bc.ca and attend the public hearing on Wednesday, Aug 6 at 6 p.m. at Sorrento Memorial Hall. All emails must be received by Aug 6. For more details, go to www.wateraction. com. Contact SWAT at saveourshuswap@ hotmail.com. Ray Nadeau on behalf of Shuswap Water Action Team directors

Support requested for development proposal I am writing on behalf of our family to ask for public support for our final development plans for Blind Bay Resort. We once again are trying to gain our approvals for 19 waterfront recreational RV sites on land that has been historically used for this since 1972. We also wish to move our moorage dock deeper, to enhance our foreshore environmental impact and guest safety. We recognize the public sentiment to guard our waterfront areas against prolific high density development, but know we are not pro-

posing this nor can exist without a compatible use of this land. If you’ve followed our story, you’ll know we work hard to enhance our community, creating jobs, taxes, and have improved considerably the social and environmental influence our resort has upon this area. Our application also provides for a public access easement, and will contribute five per cent of the land value to the CSRD parks fund. Please help us by sending a clear message of support: Attend our public hearing on Aug. 6, at the Sorrento Memo-

rial Hall, at 6 p.m. Or send your letter of support to our CSRD senior planner Dan Passmore, at dpassmore@csrd.bc.ca. Each letter must be addressed to be considered. If you need more information, please view our website at www.blindbayresort.com, or come directly to our resort for a personal tour while all our guests are here. We would appreciate it. Dan Baskill for the Baskill family

Higher speed limits raise many safety issues Open letter to Greg Kyllo: Despite the objection of the RCMP, ICBC and the truckers, the province has upped speed limits on many B.C. highways as some type of experiment, with travellers as the guinea pigs. On a round trip to the coast Sunday to Sunday, I drove sanely at the new limit of 120 km on the Coquihalla and that of 110

km on Highway 1 from Hope to Abbotsford. I was continuously passed, often frenetically, by drivers going 130 to 140 in heavy summer traffic. As before, slow trucks and slower drivers (whose pace did not or could not increase) created sudden hazards. The Highway 1 piece was insane, as three highways merge at Hope. We all know that any given limit is

almost always exceeded by five to 10 km. Did the government take into account summer traffic, slower drivers and even consider poor weather and winter driving? I think not. I urge concerned drivers to make their views known. Ed Hinman

Sharing the workload with four-legged friends By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

Dogs have been putting in their nine-to-five around town, working hard at their daily duties and ensuring all goes smoothly in their workplace. Blue, a nine-year-old golden retriever, is a perfect example of a furry friend who spends his days working and is always happy to do so. Blue and his sister Sadie, an 11-year-old Lhasa apso, keep speech language pathologist Lesley Gurney company at her downtown office. However, both dogs are more than just a friendly face as Gurney has put them to use in her daily practice. Gurney bought Blue with the intention of bringing him to work, and Sadie came along with him. Gurney used to have a dog that she would sometimes use in her practice, which she has been running for more than 20 years, and it gave her the idea that a full-time therapy dog would be beneficial. With no intention of actually purchasing a dog, she went and checked out a litter at a local breeder. That’s where she met Blue, who quickly changed her mind. Since he was six weeks old, Blue has been hanging around in Gurney’s office, where he’s grown accustomed to being well-behaved, calm and professional. The office is a place where he helps Gurney’s clients, many of them autistic, with perspective, speech and transition issues. Gurney says she lets her clients brush, walk and groom Blue to help them learn various tasks they otherwise find difficult. Alongside all of his general duties, Blue’s main purpose

is to provide the office with a calming effect, and Sadie gives him a helping hand with that. “It makes my work setting less clinical,” said Gurney. “He helps me deal with stress and my clients deal with stress.” Gurney also says Blue helps with teaching literary skills, as she lets her clients read to him and share stories about him. “I don’t know if I’d ever practise without a dog again,” said Gurney, noting that having Blue in the office not only benefits her and her clients, but Blue himself as he gets to socialize all day and doesn’t have to be left at home alone. After putting in a long day’s work, Blue gets to unwind by running around and playing on Gurney’s farm. “At the office he’s working, but at home, he’s just a dog,” CHELSEA GRAINGER/OBSERVE R she says. Just down the street from Valued Blue are two other dogs who contributions: spend their days at work.

Claiming medals at Games Regina: Athletes capture swimming and basketball victories. By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

It was a winning week for two Salmon Arm athletes who attended the North American Indigenous Games in Regina. The games ran from July 20-27 and basketball player Jared Sharp and swimmer Paige Coutlee both earned medals. Coutlee, who has been swimming for seven years, placed gold in the U16 200-meter freestyle and bronze in the 100m freestyle. She also placed fourth in the 50-m backstroke and 50-m freestyle and fifth in the 100-m backstroke and 50-m butterfly. As a member of a relay team, Coutlee also took home an additional gold and two silver medals. Coutlee’s favourite experience at the games was the social aspect. “People would come from all over the place and bond as if we all knew each other,” said Coutlee. “Within the team you would become like a big family.” Sharp played on the British Columbia U16 boys basketball team as guard, helping them earn a silver medal. “The games were awesome,” said Sharp. “We won our first three games and blew them out by at least 20 points.” The B.C. team’s first game was against Manitoba, and B.C. dominated with a final score of 53-36. Next was against the

The final contest was against Wisconsin, and Sharp noted that one of the rival players was on fire, scoring many points. Sharp’s team was defeated with a score of

78-48, but Sharp is still pleased with the silver medal win. “I did what I could, but I think I could have done better,” he said, noting that his favourite part of attending the games was the chance to meet his teammates and make new friends.

Big wins for Salmon Arm tennis players By Chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

A number of athletes from Salmon Arm have been hitting the tennis courts competitively this season. West Martin-Patterson, who recently moved to Salmon Arm from Sicamous, and his teammate, Jeremy Bell from Vernon, are currently the reigning champions for the current tennis season. Their most recent win was the AlphaZulu tournament, held July 18 to 20 in Kelowna. It was the team’s fourth time playing and they came out with another win. Martin-Patterson and Bell played against

two other Salmon Arm men, Winston Pain and Bob Langford. The results were a 6-2, 4-6, 10-7 match for Patterson and Bell. “We almost beat them, it was very close,” said Pain. But close wasn’t good enough and Alpha-Zulu became another tournament win in Patterson’s season roster. “We’ve won nine tournaments in a row,” said Patterson, who has been playing tennis for 25 years. Patterson and Bell were also victorious at Lakeview Heights in May, the Hankey Cup in Vernon and the Sunshine Open in Kamloops.

Over the weekend, the Salmon Arm Tennis Club hosted the Miele Interior Team Tennis playoffs. Sixty-five players showed up and Salmon Arm had six local teams play against teams from Kamloops, Vernon and Kelowna. One Salmon Arm team will be heading to Provincials, even though they didn’t get a chance to play. Marianne VanBuskirk, Cynthia Langford, Shirley Knorr, Shannon Hecker, Mariejie Duplessis and Loree Boyd, who make team Slammin’ Arm, were the only team registered in the women’s 3.5-4.0 division, which gave them an automatic victory.

They will be heading to Whistler on Aug. 22 for provincials. VanBuskirk, president of the Salmon Arm Tennis Club, said the team has been training for two years in order to be able to play at the provincials, and they will be the only team from Salmon Arm competing. String Theory placed second in the Men’s 3.5-4.0 division. Detlef Doose, George Elamatha, Dan Wark, Robin Wiens and Ken Hecker were on the team. The Flyswaters came in third in the 3.5-4.0 division. Steve Bradwell, Carl Bannister, Ian McHarg, Malcolm Shattock, Tyler Shattock and

All-star Heat heading to Provincials The Salmon Arm Heat travelled to Rutland this past weekend to compete in the Regional Zone Playdowns where they secured a spot at the Provincial Championships. Rutland provided the venue for the Interior All-Star Baseball teams to play for the opportunity to advance to the championships, being held Aug. 7 to 10 in North Delta. The weather was scorching once again as the Salmon Arm Heat played their first game against a stingy Rutland team. It was tight through the first two innings, but the Heat got into their power zone and pounded a six-run inning, with Logan Reynolds hammering a solo home run over the left field fence in the third. After that, the Heat never looked back, and finished with a 14-3 win. The Heat moved on to play a vastly improved and well-coached Kamloops team. The affair

Their bunting game is second-to-none, and the Heat had to adjust their play strategy to compensate. Following some tense back-andforth play through four innings, the Heat took the lead and held onto it. Cole Nisse slapped a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Heat up 13-9. With solid pitching throughout,

the Heat put forth a great show of defence in the top of the seventh inning to claim victory for the second time that day. Sunday morning saw the sun pumping the temperature into the mid 30s, making the Heat’s third game in two days a bit of a chore. However, they were ready to face an enthusiastic Kelowna team, that played with grit and emotion. At the end of the first in-

ning, the Heat was up 1-0, and it appeared that it was going to be a tight game. But the Heat exploded in the second, batting in six runs to go up 7-0. Nisse hammered a solo home run that revved Salmon Arm up to play with high intensity. By the bottom of the third inning, the Heat was ahead 7-1. The team came out with bats blazing in the top of the fourth, and moved ahead 13-1 by the middle of the inning. Kelowna started to get their bats working in the bottom half and, after four complete innings, Salmon Arm was ahead 13-3. The Heat increased their lead by one after batting in the fifth, and then Kelowna came alive, knocking in four runs before the Heat’s defence and fielding shut them down. After five complete innings, Salmon Arm was up 14-7. Salmon Arm racked up another three to Kelowna’s two, and at

the end of the sixth inning was ahead 17-9. The Heat put on a display of precision batting at the top of the seventh to drive in four more runs, and then proceeded to display the final act of defense in the bottom of the inning to finish their third win in a row with a final tally of 21-9. Special mention in the game went to Nisse, who wen four-for-four, with a double and three home runs. The Salmon Arm Heat placed first overall and will be heading to the Provincial Championships – the first time in a number of years. To help cover the cost, the team is asking for donations of recyclable beverage cans and plastic bottles, to be dropped off at the Blackburn Park Ball Diamond on the corner of 10th Avenue SW and 5th Street SW on Thursday, July 31 between 4 and 7 p.m. The Salmon Arm Pee Wee Heat will be there practising at 6.

Maerz conquers ring, loses bout by chelsea Grainger OBSERVER STAFF

It was a close match for Salmon Arm’s Bulldog Boxing owner Peggy Maerz, who participated in the Strawson Boxing Promotion in Nanaimo on July 18. Maerz, who was pitted against Alisah McPhee from Langley, came up short with a split-decision loss. Although she didn’t

come out on top, Maerz is proud of the way she performed – and a little surprised at the ref’s decision “I conquered the ring – it’s too bad,” said Maerz, adding the fight was one of the best of her life. “I’m so pleased at my performance that it’s hard to stay annoyed at the decision.” One of her boxers, Ryan Hornung, helped train Maerz for the

fight, and travelled with “Salmon Arm is her to Nanaimo for his making a mark in the first time cornering. professional boxing Maerz said training world.

Training tips Rider Lori Jenks, atop Zack, receives instruction from Equestrian Science and Learning Theory practitioner Jody Hartstone during her Equestrian Science and Dressage Clinic held July 26 to 28 at Topline Stables and Show Park. JAMES MURRAY/OBSERVER

Gibb adds to Heat’s sizzle Heather Semeniuk has found another gem in Salmon Arm Secondary Jewels’ forward Haylie Gibb, who has committed to the Heat women’s basketball squad beginning the 2014-15 season. The 5’10’’ Gibb was a provincial championship First Team All-Star and, though her team would finish 12th at the BCs, it was her Jewels squad that unseated the reigning South Kamloops provincial champions in the previous round at the Valley Championships. During the ouster of the powerhouse Titans, Gibb put up a game-high 19 points to help her team to the upset. Now, she will bring her offensive talents and proclivity for performing in the big crunch moments to a Heat squad entering its fourth tour of Canada West and still looking for that extra boost to get them into the playoff mixture of the hyper-competitive conference. Though a capable scorer when she needs to be, Gibb prides herself on her work ethic and defensive mindset. During her last season with Salmon Arm her team struggled with numbers, often running an eight-player roster or less due to a

myriad of injuries the team endured. “For having such limited players, we had to push ourselves, individually and as a team, harder than ever to get where we wanted to go,” she said of the season. Pushing themselves and their potential ever further got the Jewels their upset of the Titans and eventually a berth at Provincials. Naturally more of a stretch four with a good touch from behind the arc, Gibb says she expects to play the same position with the Heat. “Haylie will bring some much-needed size to our perimeter play,” says Semeniuk, the UBC Okanagan Heat head coach, agreeing with Gibb’s self-assessment. “She is a great athlete who knows how to defend and likes to shoot the three-ball. She made her first trip to the B.C. AAA Provincials this season and showed very well.” Always hoping to secure the top talent in the Valley, coach Semeniuk is thrilled Gibb is joining the team and cites her development as “an indicator that talent is being developed locally.” Constantly pushing her game further and further, Gibb not only participates in a spring

Haylie Gibb UBCO HEAT league during her offseasons, but also occasionally plays in Salmon Arm’s men’s league as well. Gibb plans to enter the Bachelor of Arts program upon joining her new team and school. She is excited about the opportunity to work with a “great coaching staff” and also to pursue her higher education at a globally leading institution.

“When I came on campus and spoke with an advisor he was extremely helpful and positive about my chances of success studying at the school, and was also very excited about my opportunity to play for the Heat,” Gibb said of her visit to the school and gym. When reflecting about the transition from high-school competition to the university level, she added that she “[realizes] the change is going to be huge from high school ball to the CIS, but I believe I am as mentally prepared as I can be, but I know it is going to be way more physically demanding. I realize that playing at this level is going to take a lot of hard work, but I am willing to do so.”

Music Crawl schedule:

Moving on hot summer grooves Put on your running shoes and get ready to catch the wave of music that will fill downtown Salmon Arm. Capping off the eight days of pre-festival outreach shows under the Routes and Blues banner, the fuse for the 2014 edition of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival will be officially lit during late afternoon Thursday, Aug. 14 with the annual Music Crawl. The popular evening of music happens just 24 hours before the festival gates open at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds at 5 p.m. Friday Aug. 15. Lighting up the night of Aug. 14 will be nine acts that will deliver sounds ranging from hard-core traditional blues and jug band music to contemporary singer-

songwriter fare, jazz standards as well as “put-on-your-dancin’ shoes” styled R&B. “We are pleased the annual Music Crawl is also combining talents of individuals and bands who come from our own backyard with those of artists who make their homes in Calgary, Toronto, Kelowna and Edmonton,” says artistic director Peter North. “Local faves like The Salmon Armenians, Seal Skull Hammer, Jordan Dick, and Jesse Mast are scheduled for Music Crawl performances, as is seven-time Maple Blues Award winner Paul Reddick of Toronto.” Recent Juno nominee Chloe Albert of Edmonton, who had the number-one recording on Alberta’s CKUA for 2013, will also take part in the crawl, as will Kelowna’s top traditional bluesman Papa Dawg. “We think the Music Crawl is going to be another memorable night for roots music fans in this community and for those visi-

tors who will have already descended on Salmon Arm for the festival,” says North. Seven venues and the Ross Street outdoor stage will host the music and, once again, local café, pub and coffee house proprietors jumped at the chance to participate. “The Music Crawl is a blast and it’s just another great example of getting the entire community involved with Roots and Blues,” says Kathy Bradford, co-owner of the Wicked Spoon and the Barley Station. “The musicians and music fans love it and, as a presenter, we really enjoy participating.” Performances will be staggered, allowing music fans to catch as many artists as possible in a six-hour stretch, as the musical menu takes audiences into the late evening. AnDiamo and The Shuswap Pie Company will play host for early shows as jazz guitarist Jordan Dick kicks off the night on a double-bill with Ms. Albert at

5:30 p.m. The Shuswap Pie Company hosts Seal Skull Hammer for two sets, the first of which kicks in at 6:15 p.m.. “Those who can’t catch Chloe Albert at AnDiamo will have another chance to hear her at the Blue Canoe around 8:45 following Jesse Mast’s set, says North, noting Downtown Salmon Arm is presenting a terrific act in PerlHaze that features the talents of Sophia Perlman and Terra Hazelton. “Many blues and jazz fans know Hazelton’s work with the late, great Jeff Healey and his Jazz Wizards.” PerlHaze will be playing two sets beginning at 7 p.m. at the Ross Street Stage, adds North who has Joe Nolan rounding out the talent pool. The young singer-songwriter recently received glowing press and has been booked to open some of Melissa Ethridge’s concerts in western Canada this coming fall. Nolan will be playing two

Tragical magical Caravan By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

It seems every time I am seated on a bleacher, hay bale or in a wagon at Caravan Farm Theatre, I think ‘this is the best production I’ve seen here.’ That thought echoed loudly again at last Thursday’s opening of The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy. Not only are the actors to be applauded, but everyone involved. Costumes, props and sets add to the magic of an evening that, although cold and overcast, soon heated up with the uproarious laughter from the large audience. Artistic director Courtenay Dobbie has chosen another winner in Victoria playwright Jacob Richmond’s play – and directed it with skill. The dialogue is witty and, despite the wealth of double entendres and innuendo – both visual and verbal, this is a production that both young

Colin Doyle, the Devil with a charming Parisian accent and sly ways, handily kept apace with Sarah May Redmand, who brought the voice of the Maritimes to Judy, and the naughty but hilarious Paul Braunstein as Mr. Punch. The supporting cast is of equal measure and the band, costumes and

props add rich colour to the tale of a boorish fellow who must mend his ways in order to regain the love of his lady fair, who has fallen for the natty and well-played King Oedipus (Paul Fauteux). Comedy is rife too in the lyrics of several songs by Hank Pine, and the audience cheered more than once – particularly at

the conclusion of a rap number performed by a cast of mythological characters in ancient attire. This is theatre at its best and the perfect place to spend a summer evening. The Tragical Comedy of Punch and Judy runs at 7:30 p.m. to Aug. 24. (No shows Mondays). Visit www.ticketseller.ca for tickets.

PUBLIC HEARING

Blind Bay Resort Development Application, Bylaws 725-2, 701-79, 900-5 Letter to the Editor – July 25, 2014 Dear friends, residents of Blind Bay, and concerned citizens of Shuswap Lake: On August 6th, 2014, we are asking for public support at our Public Hearing, to bring our final vision for Blind Bay Resort to fruition. As you may know, it has been a long haul for our family, guests and neighbors as we’ve navigated a governmental process and economic setback, that has left a portion of our property incomplete and a planned environmental improvement unaddressed. Your help now will ensure we can finish what we started in 2007. The application of 2013 has remained fairly consistent, but features an easement for public access plus 5% cash contribution towards the CSRD Parks Board, and a change to the moorage to include only the approved 55 slips. We ask only to move away from the sensitive foreshore, creating a beautiful pier to enhance natural wave action. We also continue to ask for the 19 low density recreation RV lots that have historically been in place since 1972, to contribute to a healthy business model that includes only temporary and seasonal recreation owner and tourist use. There are several steps needed to complete this – hence the changes to various bylaws, but the reality is we are simply looking to continue with our current uses and finish an unsightly area. Our final work will create local jobs, taxes, add to the economy, beautify the area, and bring important tourists to the area for decades to come. More information is available at www. blindbayresort.com. Please join us to exercise our collective rights for responsible development. The Hearing is at 6:00PM, in Sorrento at the Sorrento Memorial Hall. Your letter is equally valuable, so at minimum I would ask you to write in support to our CSRD Senior Planner Dan Passmore, or our Area C Director Mr. Paul Demenok. Letters must be personally addressed, signed, and submitted to either dpassmore@csrd.bc.ca, or pdemenok@csrd.bc.ca. You may also fax to the CSRD office, at 250-832-3375. I would appreciate a copy as well, so that I may respond to any comments or concerns that you may express. Many thanks to the staff and Directors of the CSRD, who have assisted us in moving through this latest application process expeditiously, and for touring our site during our open house on July 17th! I may be reached by email, at dbaskill@hotmail.com, cell at 250-803-2595, fax (250) 675-4744, or in person by appointment at our resort. As always, please drop by for a personal tour while our resort is in full operation, and check out the area’s finest breakfasts at the Olde Town Centre café and restaurant. Thank you for your support and participation! Dan Baskill Blind Bay Resort Jaydan Ventures Inc. 2698 Blind Bay Road Blind Bay, BC. V0E 1H1

Taking it inside

Headwater performs their folk-inspired tunes to a full house at the Shuswap Pie Company on Thursday, after being rained out from their scheduled Wednesday on the Wharf performance.

Art thrives in Salmon Arm August brings art to life with four exciting events and exhibitions downtown at the Salmon Arm Art Gallery. • Paint the Town: The Artists’ Studio On Saturday, Aug. 9, local artists will take to the streets of downtown Salmon Arm to create works in their chosen media. Painters, potters, weavers and mixed media artists will be on Hudson Avenue and Alexander Street from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on that day. The public is welcome to stop and talk with the artists and learn about their process. These artists will have a working studio inside the Art Gallery that will be open to visitors for the entire month of August. “Transforming the gallery into a workspace is no small feat, but it’s an exciting opportunity to watch artwork grow and change over time,” says Salmon Arm Arts Centre curator/director Tracey Kutschker. “The artists will continue to work on their pieces throughout the exhibition.” • Art in the Attic In a small corner of the art gallery, one can peruse previously loved works of art and

bid on them in the silent auction. These works will raise funds for a community art storage unit. “It is important to the arts council that the community art collection is protected, and therefore a climate controlled room is being renovated to store the work,” Kutschker says.

Media Release Shuswap Water Action Team (SWAT) The CSRD Board recently rejected Blind Bay Resort’s application to rezone waterfront single family lots into a high-density multi-family “Seasonal Only”trailer park with a massive private dock expansion. However the BB Resort has now reapplied with only two changes to their proposal. Shuswap Water Action Team Directors support higher density and commercial development when directed to Town Centers as specified in the South Shuswap Official Community Plan (OCP). We also agree with the OCP that high-density multi-family developments with large boat marinas are not appropriate. Large waterfront developments produce higher concentrations of sewage with septic systems that discharge close to the water where groundwater runs to the lake. Also, run-off from roofs, driveways, etc. with associated chemicals and other contaminants are concentrated and end up in the water. Large dock systems contribute exponentially and concentrate the number of boats parked in the lake with their bilge discharges, cleaning chemicals and so on. We support the trend of other lake regions moving towards land-based boat storage, similar to the one in Sicamous. We oppose Blind Bay Resort’s “high-density”waterfront rezoning and marina expansion for many reasons, as expressed by our members and directors. Some are highlighted below. What are the Changes? 1. Houseboat Berthing And Commercial Houseboat Operations to be Prohibited. 2. More Dock Berths to be Prohibited. These changes are welcome but do not address many other significant issues. What Has Not Changed? 1. It completely conflicts with our new OCP and vision that states waterfront lots must be “low-density”. Two single-family residentials will become 19 highdensity multi-family “Seasonal Occupancy Only”trailers. 2.

It does not comply with our OCP bylaw or the best long-term interests of our community. It also restricts units to “seasonal occupation”which will increase peak loads in Blind Bay when congestion and overcrowding is already an issue. The community has too many seasonal residents and needs more year-round residents to enhance the community and help local businesses become more viable. Also, approving this rezoning would set a terrible precedent for similar residential rezonings.

The Private Dock will be expanded far out into Blind Bay in one of the busiest and congested areas on the lake. The approved lease of 348 ft would be extended to 550 ft. It would become the longest dock in the entire Shuswap Lake and would create an unacceptable Boating Safety Threat. With their 2 buoys and boats at the end the incursion it would increase to about 670ft.

The maximum CSRD bylaw length for a marina is 441ft. The two other public docks in Blind Bay are only about 350 ft.

The Private Dock would be extensively widened and exceed bylaw 900 minimum side parcel setbacks of 16 ft (and 19ft) from property lines extending into the lake. The dock encroaches well into adjacent property foreshores. That is inequitable and would severely impact adjacent property owners use of their property and foreshore. It would also impact them financially and could result in legal action against the CSRD.

The dock lease footprint area would be 7,298 sq. metres, which is 30% more than double it’s current lease. This is a massive incursion and not appropriate for our bay.

D. BLAIR MITCHELL D. Blair Mitchell died peacefully Thursday, July 24, 2014 in Salmon Arm, B.C. at the age of 58. After enduring a lengthy illness, he left this world in the arms of his wife. He is finally free. Born on March 4, 1956 in Nelson, Blair grew up and graduated in Terrace before moving to the Shuswap in 1979. In 1987 Blair married his wife Susan (Maidment). Together they raised their children, Rachel and Ian, who were his greatest pride and joy; they meant the world to him. Blair was employed by Federated Co-op from 1979 until he retired, due to health reasons, in 2008. The proud owner of Fine Line Custom Picture Framing in Salmon Arm, Blair created some of the best work in the area. A talented artist and athlete, whatever he did, excellence was always his goal. A self-taught musician, Blair was well known in the Shuswap as the drummer of Rohanna. He devoted many years to perfecting his ability and practice was the heartbeat of the home. It was a joy to watch him perform. As well, he was a sought-after goalie and an avid golfer. Blair could also do almost anything with a frisbee and his love and appreciation for beautiful automotives was legendary. Everyone who knew Blair loved him; he was just easy to love. He will be missed by all of his friends and family, but most especially and profoundly by Susan, Rachel and Ian. A private celebration of life for family and friends will be held to honour the life of this good man, gone far too soon.

BERGER, VIOLET GENEVIEVE It is with heavy hearts and great sorrow that the family of Violet Genevieve Berger announces her passing. Mom was born on June 13, 1923, near Tribune, Saskatchewan and died on July 20, 2014, surrounded by her family, at home on the farm in Sunnybrae. She was predeceased by her husband of 45 years, Louis Berger, and eight of her siblings. Mom leaves to mourn her eight children: Milford Berger (Sande), Sylvia Hlina (Roger), Sandra Miller (Neil), Sunni Berger (Gary Brooke), Vicky Berger (David Hickman), Sharen Berger (Jim Duxbury), Karen Berger (Glen Haines) and Ken Berger. Eleven grandchildren: Shane Berger, Kimberley Hlina, Tanya Keusen, Megan and Kathleen Brooke, Tom and Steen Hickman, Sheena and Jae Haines, Brody and Jorri Duxbury as well as seven great grandchildren; Callum, Ian, Teagan, Owen, Keenan, Nelson and Braelyn, will also miss their grandma/great grandma. She is survived by her sister, Florence Larson, and brothers, Bruce Larson, Glen Larson, and Cort Larsen as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her special friends, Alan and Bev Ross, and their children, Alison and Bradley. We will miss her immensely. Family always came first with Mom. She worked hard all her adult life to make a loving and caring home for all of us and even though she did without any modern conveniences, she never complained Mom grew a huge garden, preserving vegetables and canning fruit every year. She was a master bread baker, starting at age eleven and continuing on into her ninety-first year, and made cookies and Welsh cakes by the dozens for not only her family but also for many neighbors and friends. Mom enjoyed watching sports, especially those in which a grandchild was participating. She was the number one fan of everyone in the family and attended baseball, soccer and basketball games as long as she was capable. When she could no longer attend games, she watched them streamed live on the computer. She was also a lifelong fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and she liked to watch curling and figure skating. Mom loved flowers and maintained her own little flowerbed at her home up until September, 2013. She enjoyed feeding ‘her’ birds and went through a lot of sunflower seeds every winter and sugar for the hummingbirds every spring. The Sunnybrae community meant a lot to Mom. Over the years she organized Christmas concerts, ball games, bake sales, swim lessons and card parties. She was delighted when so many people attended her ninetieth birthday tea last year and although she was disappointed when she couldn’t attend the Sunnybrae/Tappen “Moms and Daughters tea” in June of this year, she enjoyed hearing in detail about the people who did attend. Mom was an avid, but never competitive, Scrabble player. If her ‘opponent’ seemed to be stuck, she would lean forward and say, “What have you got?” She would then proceed to peruse her opponent’s letters and come up with some amazing word. For Mom it was always a challenge to get the best score possible, both for her and her Scrabble playing companions. With her capable and alert mind, Mom was able to play Scrabble up to two days before her death. The family would like to extend a huge thank you to Karen and Glen for supporting Mom, first in her home and then in theirs, these past years; and to Sandra and Sylvia for their compassionate care of Mom during her final days. A sincere thank you is also extended to Dr. J. Atchison, Dr. M. Dyer and to the staff at Shopper’s Drug Mart, particularly Blane Ready, for their support at this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, Mom has requested that donations be made to Vancouver Children’s Hospital in her memory. A celebration of Mom’s life will take place at the Sunnybrae Community Hall at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Fischers Funeral Services. Online condolences and memories can be sent through Mom’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices. com. (250) 833-1129.
