Roots & Blues Festival in jeopardy
Finances: Society plans to host a fundraising concert to continue operations. By Lachlan Labere
MARKET NEWS STAFF
The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society is looking to do what it does best to save the Roots and Blues Festival. Music society board member Kelly Moores says the organization is considering a concert to help raise the funds needed to hold the festival next year. “We’ll work with Peter (artistic director Peter North), see if we can get one or two headline acts at 10 cents on the dollar, you know, all the local musicians that we’ve helped along the way, see if they can perform for free… all the fun we can
for the Save-the-Roots-and-Blues fundraiser,” Moores said Monday during a presentation to Salmon Arm city council. Moores was accompanied by fellow board members Brook Roberts and Doug Hearn during a public input meeting for next year’s municipal budget. But as Moores and company explained, the music society needs help sooner rather than later. “We need your help if we’re going to continue,” said Moores, who described the society’s financial situation for the festival as “desperate.” “It’s a blunt statement, but it’s the absolute truth. Our operating budget does not allow us to book performers for the 2015 Roots and Blues Festival right now.”

Roberts, the society’s treasurer, explained the organization needs to raise $150,000 this fall in order to continue to pay working staff, pay rent and start booking bands for next year’s festival. “What we’re asking for is any help the city can provide to level the playing field with our ‘competition,’” added Moores. Much of the 45-minute presentation revolved around how the society has wound up in this situation, and what they are looking to do in order to cut costs. Moores said the initial hit this year came with See Sponsorship on page A2

Sponsorship loss impacted bottom line Continued from front the loss of the festival’s largest corporate sponsor, Sirius Satellite, and its $50,000 contribution. The cost of hiring a security company – a provincial requirement – was another $20,000 hit (up from $11,500 in 2012). Other fixed costs included site rental ($12,500), porta-potties ($20,000), electricity and staging ($80,000). “All of our competitors have their sites at no charge,” said Moores. “Most of them even have permanent stages constructed, power, water and, in many cases, washrooms – things like that, which is a huge chunk of our operating budget.”
Moores said competing festivals in the region had an impact this year, as did the weather. “When you looked at the forecasts three days prior, two days prior… people made that decision not to come,” Moores explained. “It’s evidenced by our attendance being down 10 per cent – a little under 10 per cent. That really mirrors what our drop in walk-up ticket sales was for the event. And that’s that sweet spot that we needed to hit in order to make the event financially successful.” For this year’s festival, the artistic budget was cut by $60,000 or 17 per cent from the year prior, and Hearn said the society is looking to further reduce the number of acts, and
for

stages, at next year’s festival. This, in turn, would reduce costs associated with artist accommodation and volunteers, which he said amounts to $36,000 ($40 per volunteer). Roberts said one of the challenges is balancing the cost of headline acts with the rest of the festival. He explained how, for this year’s festival, the society offered $150,000 – half of the artistic budget – to the Tragically Hip, but were turned down. Rejection also came from Sarah McLachlan, who the society offered $100,000 to play plus overnight accommodation and flights to and from her summer home in Tofino. Hearn said the soci-

n Most of the late-run sockeye salmon that draw huge crowds to Roderick Haig-Brown Park in a dominant-run year are gathered in the Gulf of Georgia or in the mouth of the Fraser River, ready for nature’s signal to begin the arduous two-week trip to their spawning grounds.
Waiting for nature’s signal
Sockeye: Millions of salmon gather in Fraser River. By Barb Brouwer
MARKet NeWS StAff
They’re on the way. An estimated 10 million sockeye salmon are rallying for the dominant run of their fouryear cycle – and some are already on their way. Based on a test fishery conducted below and above the Mission Bridge on the Fraser River, 56 per cent of fish below the bridge were late-run sockeye, many of whom will attract thousands of visitors to the world-famous Salute to the Sockeye on the Adams River. “It’s probably up since then,” said Stu Cartwright, acting area director of the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans for the B.C. Interior. “Based on DNA samples from below the bridge Sept. 3, the bulk of the fish (56 per cent) are late run Shuswap Lake and Adams River sockeye.” But Cartwright cautioned that while DFO uses the best science available, acoustic counting, test fisheries and ground observation, the numbers are preliminary. “Based on what was tested last week, it’s in
the 10 million range, but it could be anywhere from 8 to 12 million,” he said. “The range is where it’s expected to be, but that range will change a couple of times a week.” Complicating the issue is that other species of salmon are also in the river. “We’re anticipating a reasonable run; it’s probably gonna be one of the stronger ones,” Cartwright said. “We’re hoping it will produce several million fish, but you won’t see 10 million at Adams River, you have to subtract for the commercial, First Nations and recreational fisheries.” While the bulk of the Adams River sockeye were still holding in the Gulf of Georgia and in the mouth of the Fraser River, they are starting the long journey home – one that takes close to two weeks. “They’re making up the bulk of what’s coming into the river but they’re still 10 days to two weeks away,” Cartwright says of the large gathering of sockeye. “We don’t know what will push the button to trigger the run – nature has its way of doing it. The big push should
begin sometime within the next six to 10 days.” Unlike some years when high temperatures and low water levels seriously impacted salmon runs, conditions appear to be accommodating this year. Dean Allan, resource manager for the midFraser/Thompson Okanagan runs, says DFO crews are monitoring the Fraser River. “They are always keeping their eyes out for stressed or dying fish,” Allan says. “They’re not seeing a lot; fish condition is reported to be good in general.” Early summer sockeye runs to Scotch Creek and the Seymour and Eagle rivers are
well below the 3.8 million return expected. “The 1.8 or 1.5 million or so were early with one small portion going to Scotch Creek,” said Cartwright, noting it’s too early to put numbers on runs to the Eagle and Seymour rivers and smaller creeks. “It was slow and a little bit late, but I think the numbers are starting to show themselves – not in the numbers forecast.” Cartwright says the forecast was based on the high numbers of fish in the 2010 run. “We’re certainly not disappointed by preliminary numbers,” he said. We’re long from seeing the last fish coming.”

Fair crowds up from last year By Barb Brouwer
markEt nEws staff
This year’s Fall Fair was a success that had organizers, participants and fairgoers smiling. “We’re up for a third year in a row,” said enthusiastic fair administrator Kelly Weightman. “We had 8,900 paid visitors – that doesn’t include exhibitors – that’s what the gates took in.” Add in exhibitors and volunteers and the number rises to 12,000. Not only did the gate increase by 375 over last year, the indoor arena was packed with 88 vendors – “way more than last year,” according to Lori Graham, who is in charge of concessions and commercial booths. Weightman was bubbling over with this year’s many successes and plans for the next fair. “This was a record-breaking year for the commercial division; Lori did an outstanding job as she always does,” said Weightman. “And with our 4-H beef, there were record-breaking livestock entries.” Attendance records were also broken over at Shooting Star’s midway. “They were absolutely thrilled and they are great to work with; we’re very happy with them,” said Weightman, noting that since Shooting Star took over three years ago, nighttime problems have dropped away.

Rave reviews for 4-H By Barb Brouwer
MARKET NEWS STAFF
Wide smiles and enthusiasm were the hallmark of 4-H members at the Salmon Arm Fall Fair. Eager to join in the fair’s celebration of 100 years of 4-H, members and leaders alike raved about their experience. Secretary to the Salmon Arm 4-H Senior Council, Joan O’Brien has been involved with the organization for 36 years. While she no longer leads hands-on clubs, O’Brien remains very involved with the organization that she says develops responsibility, self assurance and opens the door to many opportunities. “It was awesome; everyone went all out, decorated their stalls and took part in the opening ceremony,” she says of the fair, noting every 4-H club did a stint serving food at the 4-H concession. Taking their turn at the food concession , Dairy Club members Taylia Rees, Elizabeth Ferguson, her sister Pauline and Kyona Bruns expressed a love of animals and their commitment
to the organization. “And it’s a way to connect with people on other farms,” added Pauline. Trudy Schweb, North Okanagan Beef Club leader for four years, loves the tight-knit relationships that develop among member families and says it also teaches kids communication skills as every member, no matter what club, must do public speaking. “Kids with farm experience, their resumes go to the top,” she says. “They know the kids take responsibility and know about hard work.” Shuswap 4-H Dairy leader Brian Hamming has about 70 kids in his club and echoes many of Schweb’s comments. “The kids get to meet other kids with the same interests,” he adds. Goat project leader Star McGregor has been involved with the organization for 30 years, 17 of them as an official leader. “I believe it’s a really good organization that creates responsible people, caring for animals and other people.” Living on a farm is not a prerequisite to being a member of 4-H.

Province above court decision
Twelve years ago the B.C. government broke its contract with public school teachers by removing class size and composition language from their collective agreement. The B.C. Supreme Court ruled twice that this legislation violated teachers’ constitutional rights to negotiate working conditions. The province has appealed, the third court decision is expected this fall. If the province loses again it could go to the Supreme Court of Canada. That could take a year or two. Meantime, contract talks between the province and teachers have broken down and public schools are closed, who knows for how long. According to reports, the stumbling block may be the government’s attempt to scuttle the Appeal Court ruling by putting language in the proposed contract giving the province an escape clause (E80) for any future court decision on class size and composition. In other words, Premier Clark & Co. want to be able to tear up the contract the BCTF agrees to in the current negotiations, thus scuttling the court decision before it even happens. So much for the legal system. It isn’t surprising the BCTF is balking, given its two previous wins in court. Many suspect the province’s intent is to break the union and promote private schools. B.C. has the highest rate of child poverty and the second lowest rate of per-student funding in Canada. Perhaps the premier believes a private school system would solve those problems. Ms. Clark has several ways to end this dispute if she chooses. If she truly believes families come first, she should do whatever she can ASAP to get the schools open. Dropping E80 might be a good start. -Williams Lake Tribune

Lessons learned about snakes
Have you ever had the feeling that someone or something is watching you? I remember one time when I was a kid. I was fishing with my cousin Charlie and we were both lying on a big, flat rock, with our fishing rods stretched out over a deep pool that always held the promise of a couple of nice trout. We were lying on our stomachs and I remember how the warm sun felt on the back of my neck – it sort of sent a shiver through my whole body. That was when I suddenly got the feeling that something was there, watching me. I turned my head to the side and saw a garter snake about three feet away. It was completely motionless except for its tongue that was flickering back and forth. It was sensing me by sensing the air between us. I too remained motionless. I found myself staring into its eyes for what seemed like several minutes, although, in reality, it was probably only a matter of several seconds.
The GreaT OuTdOOrs James Murray Then it slithered off into the nearby grass and disappeared. When I told Charlie about what had just happened, he said something like “cool” or “neat,” and just kept on fishing. After a few minutes he asked what kind of snake it had been and I replied by saying I was pretty sure that it was a garter snake. He said it was more likely a gopher snake, like the kind that were sometimes under the steps in our grandmother’s root cellar. In nature, snakes do not bother me. Under those steps I figured they were more likely to be rattle
snakes, coiled and ready to strike at the ankles of any unsuspecting young kid who had been sent down to get a bottle of pickled beets or crab apple jam. My point in relating these incidents is that I have always been more fascinated with snakes than apprehensive of them. That was why I had remained so motionless that day by the creek, so that the snake would not try to escape and I could get a really good look at it. Snakes seem to have gotten a bad rap over time, at least in our Western culture. Maybe it goes back to the whole Adam and Eve thing in the Garden of Eden. The old cowboy movies, where some guy in a white cowboy hat and a pearlhandled six gun shoots a rattler just as it is about to strike at the heroine, didn’t do much for the snake’s reputation either. Any way you look at it, instead of admiring such beautiful creatures, too many kids nowadays are more likely to be frightened of a snake and run
away from it or, worse, they might grab a stick and try to kill it. I have witnessed drivers swerve to run over a snake crossing a road. Another time when I was a kid, I was out riding my bike and I saw a friend of mine up ahead. We would sometimes go fishing together. As I was trying to catch up to him I saw him swerve at the last second and ride right over a garter snake that was sunning itself along the trail that led down to the creek. He sped off while I stopped and got off my bike to look at he snake. Its back appeared broken but it was still alive. I picked it up and sat under a tree looking at it, hoping it would somehow repair itself and I could return it to the wild. It curled itself up on the ground beside me and died. It’s funny how a small incident like that can stay with you for the rest of your life. I have never forgotten it. At least it did not die alone.

VIEW POINT Binding arbitration necessary In last week’s column, Richard Rolke is exactly right; there was a crisis in education funding even before the teachers’ contract came due. If it was unclear last week who held the balance of power in the current labour dispute it is clear now. With the two sides apparently not that far apart on many issues, who could argue that binding arbitration is not the best way to
get kids back in class again? And yet the government refuses. Vaughn Palmer explains that since binding arbitration gave the doctors a large increase that compelled Colin Hansen to raise taxes to avoid deficit in 2002, the Liberals are gunshy of binding arbitration. But in that case the arbiter found the labour pressures of a shortage of doctors and a better pay scale
in Alberta necessitated the increases. There are no similar labour pressures in this case. More Bachelor of Education graduates come out of B.C. universities each year than there are jobs to fill, and given the public is strongly supportive of the teachers, an arbitrated contract that meets both sides in the middle seems perfectly reasonable. When the doctors’ arbitration led to tax
increases did economic growth in the province grind to a halt? Were there massive lay-offs? Yet we know that many parents are giving up hours at work right now and might even lose their jobs because their children have been out of school for three months and counting. How will the economy be affected in the future if the quality of public education starts to show significant decline?
Schools, teachers and kids are all paying the price for the lack of education funding. Binding arbitration has been the most concrete proposal to date that the public can get behind to demand an end to this impasse. If the government has to rearrange its priorities, or raise taxes, in order to find the money the public will understand.

folks that perhaps we need to refocus our spending, keeping our tax dollars in our own communities for the benefits of the residents. Did you know $60,800 a year is funneled out of our communities to support the arena in Salmon Arm? And then consider how far that amount of money would have went to support a facility of our own. There needs to be more to an area than golf courses and hiking trails; most of which I
expect are used by the more affluent, over-30 segment of the population. There are precious little facilities in our communities which will accommodate affordable winter sports for pre-schoolers, grade schoolers or the youth and young adults of our communities, let alone their parents or grandparents.

Regional district closes park talks The Columbia Shuswap Regional District has ended discussion on the possible purchase of Centennial Park – at least for now. The regional district has previously had some negotiations with Shuswap Lake Estates Ltd., owner of the park that is used for many South Shuswap community events. The negotiations were “related to a potential purchase price for evaluation purposes on the 2690 Centennial Drive property, for consideration of the property for potential park use,” said a Sept. 10 CSRD news release that deemed the negotiations unsuccessful. “It is possible that a future regional board may wish to consider acquisition of the property for community use, but for the time being this matter is closed.” Chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton said the board authorized staff to have discussions with Shus-
wap Lake Estates for price and suitability only. “We had it appraised, hired a land agent to do preliminary discussions and exchanged correspondence with Shuswap Lake Estates regarding the possibility of acquiring lands,” Hamilton said. “What became clear was there seems to be another objective that involves the realignment of Blind Bay Road and then the creation of an area of potential parkland along the waterfront.” Hamilton says what had begun as a discussion about Centennial Park became much more complex. “We hadn’t contemplated a road realignment so I went to the board with some of these concerns,” Hamilton says. CSRD chair David Raven says the board met in camera in August and decided too many factors were coming into play and agreed to ask for a cooling-off period. “The whole matter started off trying to do a
good thing and became complex and confusing for everybody, so the logical conclusion was to stop what we are doing and open the door for a simple negotiation process – if they want to proceed in the future.” Raven said issues need to be dealt with one at a time, and questions addressed about whether there is value for money. “Being chair, I look for integrity of decision and process, compliance with law and transparent good government, rather than interfere with the actual decision making.” Hamilton, meanwhile, says he was somewhat surprised when Shuswap Lake Estates owners Jack and Terry Barker arrived at a public hearing on recreation in the South Shuswap Aug. 13 with a poster detailing plans for the waterfront park and road relocation and a request to present their plans to the audience of some 60 people. Marcin Pachcin-
ski, CSRD’s Parks and Recreation team leader, says Jack Barker was given the opportunity to speak because the format of the meeting was to obtain public input.

Charles Hamilton “CSRD parks staff see potential park value in Centennial Field as it is, because it is flat, situated close to many Blind Bay residences, already used for community gatherings and has potential to accommodate park structures,” says Pachcinski. “We feel the value is in the existing piece of land and where it is situated, so there is no need for road realignment.” Asked to respond to CSRD’s decision to close discussion, Terry Barker said he was un-
aware of the decision, would have to look into the matter and had no comment at this time. But people who have ideas about the park are welcome to express them at three Electoral Area C meetings scheduled for next week. “We’re holding recreational meetings basically to get input from residents on current recreational uses and where they would like us to focus parks dollars in the future,” says Pachcinski. Those meetings will be held at 7 p.m. at Sorrento Memorial Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 16, Eagle Bay Community Hall on Sept. 17 and White Lake Community Hall on Sept. 18.

New seniors resource centre for Blind Bay in works South Shuswap Health Services Society is sponsoring the establishment of the Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre in Blind Bay, to be located in the former Chamber of Commerce/Tourism Information Center, with a planned opening the last week of September. The society explains the need for the service became apparent through its involvement with the Better at Home program, which aims to provide non-medical assistance that will enable seniors to stay in their own homes longer.
The goal co-ordinates well with the vision of the Copper Island Seniors Resource Centre “to provide information, and co-ordination of services for seniors of the South Shuswap communities.” If you would like to get involved or provide suggestions, call George Landry at 250804-3637 or Simon Brown at 250-6752140. Proposed services of the Copper Island Seniors Resource Center include: seniors grocery shopping; seniors transportation; seniors’
computer tutoring; reasonably priced frozen meals for sale; pamphlets on regional seniors programs available; friendly visits; assistance with income tax, and more. The society is also continuing its physician recruitment efforts, attending the National Rural Physicians Conference in March in Banff, Alta., where many physicians in their last year of studies showed interest in the potential for setting up a new practice in B.C. The society invited Sicamous Medical
Clinic and the North Shuswap Health Society to share a booth and work on recruitment at the BC Rural Physicians conference in May in Penticton. The conferences provided several leads and the society is following up on them. Currently, three physicians have expressed
interest in establishing a medical clinic in Blind Bay. Discussions are ongoing without firm commitments, but with September 2015 as a possible target date. It will take community support during the startup phase of the clinic in both volunteer hours and raising funds.

Unknown costs plague trail plan By Richard Rolke BlaCk PrEss
Armstrong’s trails committee has urged city council to get behind plans to create a recreation corridor on the former Canadian Pacific line from Spallumcheen to Sicamous. “Everyone would love to have a trail but we’re waiting to see what the cost factor is with the government,”
said Paul Britton, a city councillor. Mayor Chris Pieper admits challenges exist. “Coming up with thousands or millions of dollars is not likely. Everyone would like to see a public corridor but no one has any money.” The trails committee has been working with the Shuswap Trails Alliance on the CP property.
SICAMOUS LEGION
“The STA is working with leadership to determine strategic options for both assembling enough financing for purchase and greenway development,” said Phil McIntyrePaul, with the Shuswap Trails Alliance, in a letter. McIntyre-Paul says there will be a meeting in September to work on strategy.

Post office to reduce hours By Martha Wickett
MArkEt NEWS StAff
The Chase Post Office will be closing Saturdays, according to the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association. Barb Lincoln, president of the union’s B.C. and Yukon Branch, said Canada Post is going ahead with a reduction of nine hours of service for the Chase office, against the wishes of the association.
“We were very opposed to the closure,” she said, noting that the post office is well-used by Chase residents on Saturdays. She said Saturday hours were left untouched at Sorrento, so why not Chase. Four hours of the reduction will come from the Saturday closure and the rest by opening later on weekday mornings. While no official announcement had been made by Canada

Festival planners welcome The fifth annual CornStock Festival was an unqualified success, say organizers, thanks to great weather and a wonderful community effort from volunteers, sponsors, participants, vendors, entertainers and more. The committee welcomes community members to be part of the planning committee for the sixth annual event. Anyone interested is asked to contact Gail at 250-679-3424 or Diana at 250-679-3484. The next CornStock will take place on Aug. 15, 2015.
Post at press time, Lincoln said she expects the community will be given 30 days’ notice before the Saturday closures take place. She said the reduction will mean the elimination of one part-time position, while the three full-time ones will remain intact. Lincoln said the union will likely file a grievance opposing the change.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING
Why Canadians increasingly embrace natural health products (NC) Statistics Canada estimates that as many as seven in 10 Canadians use natural health products on a regular basis. These same statistics show a large number of us suffer from nutritional deficiencies because of an inadequate or inappropriate intake of food. “Canadians are increasingly embracing natural health products to maintain their health and wellbeing,” says Helen Long, president of
the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA), an organization that this year is celebrating its 50th anniversary as Canada’s largest trade association dedicated to natural health and organic products. “These products also help to effectively bridge the gap for those of us who cannot meet our nutritional needs from food alone.” Many healthcare practitioners recommend natural health products for overall
health and wellness and to bridge nutrient gaps. “Health is a life-long journey that includes healthy foods, exercise and natural health products and there is clear scientific evidence that these products work when taken as
part of an integrative approach to health,” adds Long. Natural health products authorized for sale in Canada are bound by strict regulations and testing to ensure safety and efficacy. When shopping for your
supplements, always make sure to check the label and look for the eight-digit natural product number (NPN) on the label which is your confirmation that the product you are buying has been reviewed and approved by Health Canada. K n o w l e d g e ab l e staff in your natural health food store can help you identify which products are right for you. More information is available online at chfa. ca.
Reduce foot injuries and run without pain (NC) If you’re an avid recreational runner you know how frustrating it is when painful feet or lower limbs stop you from getting out for your cherished daily run. Although injuries often keep recreational runners from hitting the streets, foot experts say with proper care and training, many running injuries can be prevented. “I’ve always loved getting out for a run,” says Kevin Carrington, a Canadian certified pedorthist. “However,
I’m flat footed so I suffered a number of injuries when I was younger. If I hadn’t been referred to a pedorthist when I was a teen, I wouldn’t be able to run today. Ironically, the referral even impacted my career choice. I now advise many runners how to keep their feet healthy.” The most common foot injuries Carrington sees with patients who run recreationally are plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. These injuries primarily result from doing too much
too soon and from changing one’s foot strike pattern or footwear without allowing enough time to adapt. When it comes to running, Carrington says increasing your training volume by no more than 10 per cent a week is the best way to reduce the likelihood of overuse injuries. In addition to following a wellplanned training regimen with grad-

ual progression, you should do exercises to strengthen the muscles of your foot and ankle. Most importantly, if you experience severe, recurrent or
persistent lower limb or foot injury, don’t delay treatment. Book a consultation with a certified pedorthist. This professional will assess the biomechanics of your lower limbs, your gait and your running shoes and recommend a treatment plan that will have you back running as quickly as possible. More information on the prevention of recreational running injuries can be found at www.pedorthic.ca. www.newscanada.com

Salmon supper to help restore Kingfisher Early on the morning of Friday, May 2, the Cooke Creek bridge, on Mabel Lake Road, was taken out when tons of logs and debris came roaring down Cooke Creek, along with the weight of nine million gallons of water, causing mass destruction. Directly in its path lay the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre (KICS).
The centre is an integral part of the community, as well as a popular place for tourists. The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre assists more than 100,000 salmon from egg to fry, and releases them to their natural life cycle in the wild of the Shuswap River well and strong. Community volunteers do most of
the work harvesting salmon eggs and maintaining the hatchery, but the centre also creates employment for several community members. The centre is also a popular place for students in the region to learn about the salmon. In the wake of the flood, the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre is desperately in need of
repairs. In order for the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre to be restored, the trails must be restored, the berm needs to be reestablished, water lines need to be repaired and the contents of the hatchery lab equipment must be replaced. This equipment includes: a television, office supplies, desk, edu-
cational materials and a watershed model. To help raise funds, a special Salmon Sensation Dinner Fundraiser is planned for Saturday, Sept. 27 at the Riverside Community Hall, 3784 Trinity Valley Road, Enderby. Doors open at 5 p.m. with a cash bar. The salmon dinner will begin at 6 p.m. with a live
auction and entertainment to follow. Tickets are $50 (includes $25 tax receipt), and are available at Ashton Creek Store, Tony O’s Outfitter in Enderby and Bean Scene Coffee House inVernon. Or buy tickets online at www.kingfishercentre.com/programsandevents2.html.

NAYLOR, WINIFRED HILDA 1916 - 2014 Winifred (Win) Naylor passed away at Piccadilly Care Centre on September 6, 2014 in her 98th year. She is survived by her two children, Bill and Steve (Jan) and her two grandchildren, Stephanie (Stasia) and Scott (Tiffanie). She is predeceased by her three siblings (Pat, Kelly, and Phil) and her husband Bill. Win was born in 1916 in Medicine Hat, Alberta. By the age of eighteen, she had attended Normal School and was out teaching in one-room school houses, a job she did for five years before moving back to her home town. During WWII, the Commonwealth Air Training Programme sent British airmen to Canada to learn to fly the planes that would eventually win the Battle of Britain. It was a at a dance held in a hangar that she met Bill who was an airframe mechanic. They soon fell in love, but before they could get married, Bill was posted back to England for the duration of the war. In January of 1946, Win set out for England travelling across Canada by train and then by ship to England. The ship made its way up the Manchester ship canal before docking. Waiting for her was her beloved fiancé Bill who climbed up a rope ladder on to the deck where they embraced. They were married in May of that year. Bill Jr. was born in 1947 and in 1948, sensing that opportunities were better in Canada, they returned to Medicine Hat where Steve was born in 1950. Bill Sr.’s jobs took the family to Nelson and later to Castlegar where Win went back to teaching in 1963. Steve went on to university to become a teacher as well. He returned to Castlegar to teach for two years, the first of which was Win’s final year before retiring. After that, Win and Bill travelled, moved to Victoria, and when grandchildren made their appearance, moved to Salmon Arm where Steve had gone in 1975. They enjoyed their granchildren immensely and became settled Salmon Arm residents. Both very good ballroom dancers, Win and Bill attended many functions and organized the music for afternoon dances at the local seniors centre, the 109. When Bill died in 2002, Win stayed in her condo for a few years then moved to Landers’ Lodge and finally to Piccadilly Care. She was pleased to see her two grandchildren happily married. Win passed away peacefully in her sleep after a long and productive life. The family would like to thank Dr. Malinowski and the staff of Shuswap Lake Hospital, Landers’ Lodge and Piccadilly Care for attending to Win’s needs so well. A celebration of Win’s life will take place later in the fall.

BELWAY, DAVE On Monday, September 1, 2014 Dave passed away after a long, brave, courageous battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Linda Belway, his brother Fred Belway (Mildred), his four children; Karen (Grant), Barb, Debbie (Kevin) & David Jr (Crystal), eight grandchildren; Ryan, Chelsey, Eve, Tate, Maya, Callie, Justin and Kayla, his great-grandson; Tristan, and many nieces and nephews. Dave was many things to many people. The middle child of five sons, Dave grew up fast with an unconventional childhood full of mischief and a strong bond between brothers. He was a loyal husband with an incredible work ethic, always providing for his family. To his children he was a pillar; the person who “no matter what” you would call if you locked your keys in your car, ran out of gas, started a project or renovation, or just needed any kind of sound advice regarding life, finances, or major decision-making. He was always the voice of reason in any conversation. He was a good friend to many. He was a great organizer spending countless hours on various community committees, planning family get-togethers, camping adventures, and arranging fishing trips with the boys. Dave brought people together and got things done. He taught his girls how to shoot guns and his son how to “curl like a Belway”. Dave wore many hats in his time; mechanic, autobody repair, business owner, salesman, real estate agent and property developer. He was an avid sportsman and excelled in baseball, curling, golf and sports fishing. The outdoors was his refuge, whether it be early morning coffee on the deck with his wife, Linda, lining up on the first tee, reeling in the “big one”, or simply watching the sunrise on a remote fishing lake. Dave lived for those quiet moments, and sought them out whenever he could. He was always eager to share those times with the people he loved, and if you woke up early enough to join him you would see a side of Dave that was truly at peace. He was creative and tied professional quality flies for fishing. He had a green thumb and grew beefsteak tomatoes that rivalled any in town, and his homemade horseradish knocked your socks off (ask the grandkids!). It may surprise some, but Dave took great pleasure in maintaining his own backyard bird sanctuary. He could name off all the migrating species and point out his “regulars” whom he had given names. Dave was a fierce competitor, always ready for adventure and a challenge. As many of his friends can attest, a small fortune has been won and lost on the course/ice, or after at the card table...this also includes Monopoly with the grandkids! Perhaps what people will remember most about Dave, however, is his sense of humor; quick, sharp, and slightly twisted, no one was safe from it, we were all touched by it, and we all loved him for it. Dave will be greatly missed. “Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.” Please join us for a celebration of life honoring Dave at the Salmon Arm Curling Club (691-28th St. NE, Salmon Arm, BC) on Saturday, September 13, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made towards the Salmon Arm Junior Curling Program in Dave’s name. Online condolences may be sent through Dave’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com.

GERALDINE (GAY) DESIREAU (nee Jardine) October 24, 1932 - August 23, 2014 After a hard fought battle with Alzheimer’s disease, it is with feelings of both sadness and relief that we say good-bye to our beloved mother Geraldine Desireau. Her unconditional love and support was our greatest joy and strength. Her physical presence is gone, but the past and the future remain with us in traditions and lessons. Left to mourn her passing is her husband of 60 years Deane and her four children Deanna (Garth) Jackson, Janis (Bob) Semenoff, Sandra (Larry) Peatt and Ted (Anna) Desireau. In addition her five cherished grandchildren: Natasha (Christopher) Haubrich, Carly (Nathaniel) Sharpe, Nadeane Jackson, Casey Semenoff and Taylor Jackson. And two great grandchildren Beatrice Winter Sharpe and Eloise Haubrich. She was particularly fond of her three son-in-laws and told them numerous times to “go to your room” when they teased her. We will all remember her favourite saying “give me strength”. She was born in Coronation Alberta and moved to Kamloops in her teen years with her parents Ted and Helen (pre-deceased) and brothers Glen (Ruth) Ross (Arlene) Mac (Louise) Jardine. During her schooling at St. Ann’s academy was proud of her typing trophy she won. Mom then went on to graduate from Kamloops Senior Secondary. From 1960 until 1970 along with our dad they built and ran Balmoral Store just outside Salmon Arm where she excelled in pumping gas and cleaning windshields. She was extremely fond of the many summers she spent at their cabin on Blind Bay with her family and friends. She was one of the founding members of the Valleyview Figure Skating Club and volunteered on their executive for many years. Her other volunteer work included her yearly canvassing for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and organizing numerous “Don Busch” hockey schools. She enjoyed radish sandwiches shared with neighbours, gardening, and numerous cups of black coffee. Mom loved riding her bike on Valleyview Drive and always found the time to stop and chat with someone along the way. She was one of those rare people who loved her jobs and her favourite, by far, was her years working in the Drug & Stationary department of Woodward’s. She enjoyed staying in touch with several of her Woodward’s buddies especially Joan Epp, Winnie Holomay and Margo Woloski. One of her greatest heroes was Terry Fox, she was also a passionate Vancouver Canucks fan who felt that every year would be “the year”. She spent the final two years residing at the Kamloops Seniors Village. Special thanks to Dr. Schumacher her long time doctor whom she adored!! Many thanks also to Don and Sheila Boogie and Jack and Heather Aucoin for being very special neighbours. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Terry Fox Foundation. At her request there will be no service.

What does Rotary do exactly? Around the world and around the corner, the 1.2 million men and women of Rotary get involved in their communities, connect with other professionals, share their time and experience with young people, support global causes, such as eradicating polio, and use their skills to help others. There’s something that all Rotary club members have in common: We take action. As community volunteers, we reach out to neighbours in need. We build, support, and organize. We save lives. We work locally and globally. Who are Rotarians? Whether you’re a veteran volunteer or new to community service, Rotary is looking for people like you. What Rotarians get out of Rotary depends largely on what they put into it. Many membership requirements are designed to help club members more fully participate in and enjoy their Rotary experience. Attending weekly club meetings allows members to enjoy fellowship, enrich their professional and personal knowledge, and meet other leaders in their community. The Avenues of Service The Avenues of Service are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstone and the foundation on which club activity is based: • Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the club’s effective functioning. • Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.

• Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community. • International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace. • New Generations Service recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, service projects, and exchange programs.
