Three vie for mayor’s chair

City of Salmon arm: Coun. Debbie Cannon eyes leadership role, MP Colin Mayes declines. By Martha Wickett obServer STAFF

It could be a three-way race for mayor of Salmon Arm. debbie cannon, who has served as a city councillor for three terms, announced to the Observer Friday that she will be seeking the position. cannon will be joining incumbent mayor nancy cooper and former mayor Marty bootsma who have also declared their intentions. cannon has served on council for nine years. “It feels right, it feels like the right timing… There are pretty exciting times ahead for the city, and I think it’s a good time to

be part of it.” okanagan Shuswap MP colin Mayes had contemplated throwing his hat into the ring, but on Monday he quelled rumours he is still pondering his options. “I will not be a candidate,” he told the Observer. “I really thought I wanted to keep my hands in things and run for civic election. Quite frankly, I thought I have an obligation to finish the term (as MP) and I’d like to have time for a break.” Mayes said the timing of the municipal election doesn’t work for him and, had it not conflicted with his federal term, he would have run. Asked if he might run in four years, he was undecided.

Alan Harrison, Ken Debbie Cannon Jamieson and chad eliason all Mayoral told the Observer they will be candidate running again. unlike the current mayor and council where women are in the major- councillor ity, women could be a minority on the next council.

“I have been working on a few people,” said cannon. “I’m hoping – I was on council the one term when I was the only female. After, we had a majority of females… “I’m hoping we get some more gals out there.” Tom birch, president of the bc conservative Party and a candidate in the last provincial election, said he’ll be running for a seat on city council.

Winners at SmartCentres? By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Speculation is increasing about a Winners store coming to Salmon Arm and where it will be located. A map and a site plan that originated on the www.smartcentres.com website. have been circulating on the Internet. It shows the Salmon Arm SmartCentres location, with the existing Walmart, Telus and Bulk Barn labelled, as well as a Winners store and a Dollarama. In an email response Tuesday, Sandra Kaiser, vice-president of corporate affairs for SmartCentres, would not confirm that a Winners is planned.

“We are working with a number of potential tenants for our Salmon Arm site but are not in the position to announce their names at this time.” Similarly, the public relations department of TJX Companies, Inc., which owns Winners, stated the corporation’s real estate department has nothing to confirm at this time. Early last year, Lance Johnson, manager of Centenoka Park Mall, said TJX Companies had plans to open a store in his mall. However, it wasn’t known if it would be a Winners, as the company lists Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls as the three stores it offers in Canada. Johnson could not be reached for comment regarding the SmartCentres site plan.

Nomination deadline Oct. 10 Continued from front oral race, said he has picked up nomination papers from city hall but has not completely made up his mind. “I’m leaning towards running for council if I feel I can grow my business the way I want for the next five years. I would suggest it’s like10.375" ly I will run X for2.857 council,

but nothing is decided. I will make my final decision sometime before Oct. 10.” Candidates are permitted to begin filing their nomination papers on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. and the deadline for nominations is Oct. 10 at 4 p.m. Election day is Saturday, Nov. 15 with polls open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Mail-in ballots are a new option this year, and advance and special voting opportunities will also be available. More details can be found at the city website: http://www.salmonarm.ca/DocumentCenter/View/1027.

City pushes for college By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

She said she was told a couple of years ago that the post office would not be changing. “It’s been told there really wasn’t going to be anything happening there, but there absolutely is. You see it in other communities now too. They’re downsizing, they’ll be doing that here. Some of that you understand, because people are emailing more than they’re sending personal letters, but the postal service still does a great service for us, as far as registered mail and even just business mail… It’s very important to our community so I’ll look at that.” She’ll also be attending climate change workshops. “It’s something that’s quite important – being ready if there’s a big environmental issue, whether it’s storms or snowfalls…, the impact of those kinds of major storms.” Rail corridors is another topic council will be interested in, Cooper said.

For Salmon Arm council, this week’s Union of BC Municipalities convention in Whistler includes a meeting with Premier Christy Clark. Mayor Nancy Cooper said the local delegates are meeting with Clark and Minister of Advanced Education Amrik Virk regarding the downtown campus for Okanagan College. Cooper said Tom Styffe, chair of the college board, is accompanying them. Attending the convention this year from Salmon Arm along with Cooper are Couns. Marg Kentel, Chad Eliason and Debbie Cannon, as well as chief administrative officer Carl Bannister. “We’ll be looking for funding. We’re going to give her (Clark) an update on where we’re at. We have the property now,” she said of the 20-acre land donation the city received. “We need to be moving forward on that. I know

Okanagan College has a few plans that they’ve been working on so we can share all of those with her. Just keeping her up to date and we’re going to need some money too. There are just a number of things with this particular issue we can discuss with her. It’s nice that Tom Styffe will be there to back us up as well.” Cooper said the Salmon Arm delegation will also speak to the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Todd Stone, regarding current plans for the Salmon River Bridge. They’ll also meet with Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo on a number of issues. “He’s quite a good listener,” she says. Cooper said she’s interested in a number of workshops and resolutions, particularly ones dealing with the postal service. “I’ve been quite worried about what’s happening here,” she said. “This will give us a chance to discuss it with other communities.”

Police

Beat

Arrest made after police chase It took approximately 10 hours, but RCMP arrested one of two suspects in the theft of a vehicle and copper pipe. At 7 a.m., Monday, Sept. 22, an alert citizen in Sicamous advised police of a suspicious vehicle loaded with copper tubing. The vehicle was later located entering Salmon Arm on the Trans-Canada Highway. As police attempted to stop the vehicle, two men stopped the truck and fled on foot into a wooded area near the junction with Highway 97B. A police perimeter was established and a police dog was called in; however, the men were not immediately located. The vehicle stopped by police was identified as stolen. Then, at approximately 5 p.m., police located one of the suspects. Following a foot chase, the man was taken into custody. This same man was arrested by the Salmon Arm RCMP on Friday, Sept. 19. At that time he was in possession of a stolen vehicle and a quantity of construction tools believed to be recently stolen. The man is not from the Salmon Arm area. Police are still working to identify the second suspect.

common link to theft At 4:40 a.m., on Friday, Sept. 19, the Salmon Arm RCMP checked a vehicle at the 7-Eleven convenience store. The vehicle was discovered to have been stolen from Saskatchewan. Inside the vehicle was a quantity of construction tools, also believed to be recently stolen. Two adult men and an adult woman were arrested; none are from Salmon Arm.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH

Tracy Hughes

Run with your eyes open ’Tis the season. No, despite the displays already out at Costco, I’m not talking Christmas yet. The season I’m referring to is election season. That time again when voters will elect their municipal representatives for city, regional district and the school board. The election is set for Saturday, Nov. 15, and that has a number of people pondering their options. As it stands so far, three candidates have announced their intentions to run for mayor: Nancy Cooper, Debbie Cannon and Marty Bootsma. All three have considerable council experience under their belts, with both Cooper and Bootsma having occupied the mayor’s office, while Cannon has served three terms on council. But there’s still plenty of time for more to join, as the deadline for filing nominations isn’t until Oct. 10. The race to fill the six spaces on council will certainly bring some new faces to the table, as Couns. Marg Kentel and Denise Reimer have both opted out of another run. This time too, the voters’ decisions will carry even more weight as the terms of office for municipal politicians has been increased from three to four years. New to this election, too, is the opportunity for voters to mail in their ballots if they have an illness or other condition that might limit their ability to vote, or for those, particularly the snowbirds, who might be away from the city during the advance vote or on general voting day. An application must be made to the city to partake in this program before Oct. 15, and documents are available at city hall or on the city’s website. One thing I noticed, and appreciated, was how the school district is holding a meeting for prospective trustees to provide them with some of the basic information about their role and what the job actually entails. I think this would be a wise thing for both the city and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District to offer as well. While some people see politics as a cushy job, the reality is far from it. Entering municipal politics at whatever level is not for the faint of heart. Because you are much more accessible than politicians at higher levels of government, you become, in a way, public property. The people are paying your salary and that gives them a real sense of ownership over your decisions. Candidates need to understand the scope and the limitations of their job before they put their names on the ballot. Many a person has decided to run for office envisioning the sweeping changes they would make and the harmony they could create. They tend to forget that they are just one vote among seven, and that many projects are in progress and difficult to crank back. It is important for potential candidates to go in with their eyes wide open and armed with information.

Editorial

Organ donation easier than ever The numbers just don’t jive. More than 95 per cent of British Columbians support organ donation but only 19 per cent have registered as organ donors. The other statistic is that there are 4,400 gravely ill Canadians who need transplants and 230 people died on the waiting list in 2012, the last year for which figures are available. So it is welcome news that the Service BC Centre in Salmon Arm is one of the first in the province to offer citizens the chance to quickly and easily register their decision about becoming an organ donor. Many Salmon Arm residents are aware of the efforts to support four-year-old Megan Leverrier in her fight against an enormous tumour attached to

her liver. After months of treatment at Sick Kids in Toronto, her only hope for survival was to receive a transplant from a child donor. Thankfully, Megan’s chance at life came. Some parent somewhere made the heart-wrenching decision to help another when their own child was lost. And now, after six months in hospital, there is hope that Megan and her family will soon be able to return to B.C. Megan’s family has encouraged others to be sure their wishes regarding organ donation are known to their family and registered. If every Shuswap resident who supported Megan would head down to the Service BC office and sign up, it would go a long way towards making this community a champion of organ donation.

The Observer asked: Should the library close Mondays and open on Sundays instead?

Rachel Richardson “Yes. Some people don’t have the time on the weekdays, and it’s a nice Sunday activity.”

Manny Christjanson “Yeah, it would be really nice to visit the library on Sunday.”

Darby McEachern-Corley “As a student it would be really useful for the library to be open on Sundays, since I’m in school on Monday.”

Cameron Duford “I think it should be open seven days a week.”

Holly Shaw “Yes, it should be open on Sundays.”

VICTORIA – This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a four-year term, rather than three. It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters. Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weaponsfree zone?” You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do. To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt. A longtime NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer. One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea. Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process. Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations. Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, bru-

tally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities. How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government? This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure. Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes. In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-todoor delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes. After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Last week the Salmon Arm Council heard presentations on genetically engineered (GE) crops and food. It is interesting that Salmon Arm Council chose to only consider information from anti-GMO activists. With no one with real experience in this area of science presenting facts about GE crop technology, there is no way the council could have learned the multitude of falsehoods presented to them by the activists. Here is the comment from the US National Academy of Science 2011 report- Impact of

GE crops on Farm Sustainability in the US: “In general, the committee finds that geneticengineering technology has produced substantial net environmental and economic benefits to U.S. farmers compared with non-GE crops in conventional agriculture.” And this from the European Academies of Science 2013 report - Planting the Future: There is no validated evidence that GM crops have greater adverse impact on health and the environment than any other technology used in plant breeding...There is

compelling evidence that GM crops can contribute to sustainable development goals with benefits to farmers, consumers, the environment and the economy.” I am sure the council never saw these statements. How exactly does the complete lack of credible science information on GE crops serve the citizens of Salmon Arm? When pseudo-science drives public policy the result is bad public policy.

Silverbacks deserve city’s support Congratulations, Salmon Arm, last year we almost won the Kraft Hockeyville title thanks to a well-organized campaign (thanks to the Chamber of Commerce, Salmon Arm Minor Hockey, the Economic Development Corporation and the community) However, did we really deserve to be a semifinalist in Kraft Hockeyville? Personally, I don’t think so if we cannot support our most high-profile community hockey team. Our Salmon Arm Silverbacks Junior A Hockey team deserves the support of this community. The last five years have been a struggle at the box office. The ownership group that hurt our

team’s reputation and drove people away have now been gone for two years. The new management team deserves to see the business community and the fans supporting the team again. All ticket prices are the lowest in team history. On ice, things look really good as the team was 4-1-1 in the preseason and is now 2-0 in the regular season after two excellent wins at the BCHL showcase. The team is bigger, faster, more exciting and looks to be extremely competitive. Local minor hockey products Shane Danyluk and Carson Bolduc have left the WHL to join our team. Bryden Marsh,

also a local success story, is the team captain. This is a key year for our community as the Silverbacks contract with the Shuswap Recreation Society is up for renewal. Everyone in Salmon Arm benefits from a full arena due to the partnership between the Silverbacks and the rec society. Let’s “fill the barn” for the season opener against Merritt at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26.) As an avid fan, longtime season ticket holder, and corporate sponsor, this is my appeal to everyone in Salmon Arm. Come out and see the Silverbacks – Our team, our town, our game! Kevin Flynn

Regulations needed to respect privacy It would seem that the use of drones/crones, CCTV cameras, sound boxes and webcams is becoming ever more frequent. Should this be allowed when flying over and in close proximity to private residences? In fact should this be deemed illegal, both in their use and the place-

ment of such on and around a home, especially a rural one? Is it immature adults playing with their new “toys” and their use constitutes a form of harassment, which is illegal, as is trespassing in the placement of such? Along with all the other

things one should not have to tolerate within a neighbourhood, such as barking or aggressive dogs or the dumping of carcasses during hunting season, this most definitely should not be one of them. Linda Irvine

Mixed feelings after strike School district: Enrolment higher than predicted. By Martha Wickett OBSeRVeR STAFF

In many ways, it was a normal first day of school – excited children, first-day jitters, packed parking lots, reunited friends, new classrooms, new school supplies, busy teachers. In other ways, it was not. Along with starting three weeks later than usual, teachers had less time for preparation. And for all involved, there was the aftertaste of a long and generally dissatisfying labour dispute that affected so many in different ways. “Teachers are no doubt pleased to be back doing the jobs they like. It was a quick start, probably some bumps in the road out there setting up classrooms, which causes some stress,” said Brenda O’Dell, president of the North Okanagan Shuswap Teachers Association. Morale of teachers has undoubtedly been affected, she says. Voting to ratify the deal was a difficult decision for many. “It’s not the deal they were hoping for. Or why they gave up their pay for five weeks. We were hoping for more supports for students and we really won’t be

seeing much change,” said O’Dell. “We will continue to advocate for a strong public education system that’s properly funded, and encourage parents to get involved, to talk to their children’s teachers about their classroom circumstances – and continue to support us in trying to get the funding we need to do the jobs that we do.” Glenn Borthistle, superintendent of schools for School District #83, said the first day of school was predictably hectic, because it’s always uncertain how many students will show up. There was good news in preliminary numbers, with 23 more elementary students – kindergarten to Grade 7 – showing up district-wide than did in September last year. At the secondary level, student numbers were expected to be down about 100, which they are – although they’re not yet final. “We appear to be on projection for secondary,” he said. School district enrolment has been in decline for a number of years and is still about three years from levelling off. With regard to staff-

ing and class size, Borthistle said the district always holds back some staffing to see where the needs are once school starts. “We were able to add in three divisions to meet immediate needs. Our class sizes are within our guidelines,” he said, adding there are

Glenn Borthistle superintendent still a couple of positions to be filled. Those generally come from people who may have been laid off, haven’t been placed or teachers on call. Regarding morale, Borthistle said it’s difficult to say. “I think teachers have been focused on just getting back in their classes, I think all teachers are excited to be back, whether they supported the deal or not. I think there’s a pretty universal feeling, teachers are glad to be back in the classroom and

doing what they love to do – teaching.” He said it’s generally been a very challenging time leading up to the school opening. “It’s a time of rebuilding relationships and building trust,” he said. “We have an excellent relationship with our teachers in this district but it’s been a very challenging time for everybody.” Borthistle said he thinks many teachers felt very supported during the job action. “I hope parents will continue to support teachers, schools and public education...” Regarding the 86 per cent vote in favour of the new agreement, O’Dell said it was the deal the BC Teachers Federation executive had recommended and the voting result of individual locals can’t be released. “It was the best deal we could get at this time for our members and for students.” She says there is still hope for change. “We have built up a lot of momentum with our job action. The public is becoming more aware of the issues in our school system and we hope to continue that momentum.”

Strategic Plan: Council considers financing options.

er ons

By Martha Wickett

OBSERVER STAFF

How will the city pay for priority projects to be implemented in the next five years? That’s a question that’s being addressed through the city’s strategic plan process. Thérèse Zulinick with Urban Systems consultants came to the city’s planning and development meeting on Sept. 15 to update council on the plan that was adopted in November last year following consultation with council, staff and the community. She pointed out the strategic plan enables financing strategies for each project, “figuring out a way to pay for projects and implement over time.” The project that’s generated the most controversy over the years is the Ross Street Underpass. Several politicians have stated they would hold a referendum before it goes ahead. Without grants, the strategic plan states, the project is estimated at $9 million, which includes a 30 per cent contingency. Funds would come from general revenue borrowing and anticipated costsharing with CP Rail. Zulinick said construction of the underpass is expected to begin in 2019 or sooner, the city has acquired the land necessary to make it happen, the design report is in its final draft stage, and negotiations with CP are underway to approve design and funding. The first project Zulinick referred to was the Blackburn Park upgrade.

A Public Workshop on “Making the Transition” & “Framing the Issues for 2015” OBServer file PhOtO

Underpass site: Salmon Arm’s strategic plan calls for the construction of an underpass at Ross Street in 2019 or sooner. Estimated at $500,000, it includes a championship soccer field and ‘Life Trails’ with exercise equipment. She said an alternate approval process is scheduled for later this year, so funding would come from general revenue borrowing, if the borrowing is not opposed by a minimum of 10 per cent of the electorate. Construction is expected to start in 2015. Other projects planned for the next five years include: a communications strategy; foreshore sanitary sewer main replacement; storm water management plan update and funding strategy; transit improvements; long-term financial plan update; fire underwriters survey update; and a servicing philosophy that would include a subdivision and development servicing bylaw as well as a development cost charges bylaw update. The communications strategy generated discussion. Zulinick said an overall communications strategy hasn’t been undertaken yet. However, current statistics show the website has had more than

rm Curling Ce A n o

186,000 visits, the Facebook page more than 2,100, the city’s Twitter account has 369 followers and has posted 517 tweets. She said a communications staff position might be a future consideration. Coun. Ken Jamieson asked who takes care of communications now and was told it’s handled by existing staff. “We have no plans to hire a communications person at this time,” said Carl Bannister, chief administrative officer. “It came out in the strategic plan and that’s why it’s mentioned. We have far more pressing needs…” Councillors offered ideas on how to keep the public informed about the short, medium and long-term project priorities. Zulinick said the city has already done well engaging citizens in the strategic plan process. “It’s one of the most collaborative plans I’ve ever seen…,” she said. “You’ve already opened the door from the very comprehensive survey process…” She also said some communities leave their strategic plans to gather dust.

“You haven’t forgotten about them,” she said of the projects, “and you know how you’re going to pay for them as well.” Zulinick said the good news with the long-term financial plan is that there will be enough funds so none of the capital costs will require a tax increase. Operating costs are separate, however, and to be determined. The plan can be viewed on the city’s website under ‘city services’ and then under ‘corporate services’ at: http://www. salmonarm.ca/index. aspx?nid=292. Other projects prioritized as significant were three termed ‘key core services.’ They were the cemetery development project, now underway, as well as the Hudson Avenue NE revitalization (2016) and the 10th Avenue SW Frontage Road (2020.) The two communitybased projects listed are the downtown community campus of Okanagan College on 20 acres of donated land as well as a potential indoor recreation facility and performing arts centre on the former JL Jackson school property.

CSRD: Discussion on trip limits, expenses to be posted online. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Two issues that raised some directors’ ire at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District board meeting in July were back on the table last Thursday. At the Sept. 18 meeting, Salmon Arm director Debbie Cannon asked that the board agree to limit directors’ trips to annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conventions and that the expenses of all directors be posted online every three months. “I thought this board should really only send two directors to FCM,” Cannon said, noting that with the move to four-year terms, each director would have the opportunity to go to the federal convention once in their term. Golden Mayor Christina Benty advised directors that council members are permitted to attend FCM conventions when they are held in western Canada – if the money has been allocated in the budget. Dave Raven, regional district chair and mayor of Revelstoke, advised that, as a matter of fiscal responsibility, nobody on city council has gone in six years. Neither the notion of restricting attendance nor Benty’s or Raven’s comments sat well with all rural directors. As president of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, Area E Rural Sicamous

director Rhona Martin attends all FCM conventions. She pointed out that the money to pay the directors’ way to FCM conventions, which are held in different locations across the country, comes out of an EAD (electoral area directors’) pot, not CSRD administration funds. “Unlike the municipalities, we are not all representing the same area; we all have our own issues,” she said, suggesting the matter should be discussed at

of how to spend; they don’t need other people to tell them they are not spending wisely.” But Cannon defended her position, noting she has gone to FCM twice during her time on Salmon Arm council – eight years ago, and again this year, when it was held in Niagara Falls. “I talked to a lot of people and all the ones I talked to had some kind of mechanism that everyone gets to go once a term,” she said, pointing out she is well aware of where

“I think most directors are very well aware of how to spend; they don’t need other people to tell them they are not spending wisely.”

René Talbot CSRD DIRECTOR an EAD meeting. A visibly annoyed René Talbot, director for Area D Falkland/ Silver Creek/Ranchero, said there is great value in attending the conventions. “Rural areas across Canada need support and it is good to get it at the conference,” he said, pointing to gas tax funds that are allocated to electoral areas and the Canada Building Fund. “I appreciate it is election time and some people want to make it an election issue, I guess,” he said. “I think most directors are very well aware

the funding comes from. She also took a shot at electoral area directors who deferred items at a July meeting in order to consider them at an EAD meeting. “It seems when something comes to this board, they take it back.” “This decision would not be brought back to the board,” bristled Martin. Area B Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker told directors the Regional District of Central Kootenay sends everyone to FCM to ensure their voice is heard. “Without the rural

vote, we would likely not have had gas tax; that has put an enormous amount of money into rural areas, which directors are happy to share,” she said. “If we want to be fiscally responsible, we have to look at everything. I think this should be a budget discussion, but agree with Rhona that it’s an EAD matter and should go back to committee, then on to budget talks.” Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok said the rationale of going to a meeting is to learn something. “I don’t see it as a perk, I see it as an opportunity – is there a reason I should be there, a topic, a situation that is relevant?” he asked, noting those who attend should enlighten the others with what they have gleaned on their return. Benty agree that a rural voice is critical and an opportunity to help shape federal policy, but with a caveat that there be a mechanism adopted to guide attendance. “I also agree with Cannon’s sense to be fiscally responsible and I think it should be referred to budget discussion with the whole board,” Benty said. Her motion to restrict attendance to once a term was seconded by Mayor Nancy Cooper but never got off the ground. Instead, a motion by Benty to defer the matter and take it to upcoming budget talks

Library looks at budget increase By Richard Rolke BLACK PRESS

Increased spending could occur within Okanagan Regional Library. ORL’s finance committee has presented the draft 2015 budget, which includes an overall 1.72 per cent

increase. “The majority of which comes from negotiated wage increases and inflationary items, including mandatory increases to Municipal Pension Plan rates,” said Michele Rule, ORL communications manager.

In 2013, the library experienced a surge in program attendance of 12.6 per cent and an increase in reference transactions (many of which are related to help with ebooks and other devices) of 9.4 per cent. “In response, the

budget includes minor service and training improvements related to programs and staff training on dealing with people who have questions related to technology,” said Rule. The board will vote on the final budget at its October meeting.

Smith to run for the Green Party

The Green Party is ready for the next federal election in Okanagan-Shuswap. Vernon’s Dave Smith has been acclaimed as the party’s candidate after Chris George, of the North Shuswap, withdrew from the race for personal reasons. “The nomination meetings will proceed to meet-the-candidate meetings,” said Greig Crockett, with the party. The sessions will be today (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. at the Intermission Restaurant at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm and Friday at 7 p.m. at the Schubert Centre in Vernon. The theme of the two sessions is “Making the transition: Conservative blue to progressive green.” A retired accountant and consultant, Smith has worked 35 years in the forest industry in Lumby, Armstrong and Salmon Arm.

Liberals set for selection

Okanagan-Shuswap Liberals are preparing for the 2015 federal election. The candidate selection meetings will be Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Vernon’s Schubert Centre and 6:30 p.m. at the Old Court House in Salmon Arm. “The successful candidate will be at the meetings and the receptions afterward,” said Don Derby, election readiness chairperson. “It will be an opportunity to meet the candidate, ask questions and discuss issues that are important to people in the riding as we head into the election in 2015.” The only declared candidate for the Liberal nomination is Cindy Derkaz, a Salmon Arm resident.

Easier sign-up for organ donors The B.C. government has partnered with BC Transplant to make registering a decision on organ donation easier than ever before. Starting today, the Service BC centre in Salmon Arm, as well as in Dawson Creek, Quesnel and Port Alberni, will offer citizens the opportunity to register their decision about becoming a lifesaving organ donor quickly and easily. More than 95 per cent of British Columbians support organ donation but only 19 per cent have registered. There are close to 500 people on transplant wait lists in B.C. Beginning with these four Service BC locations. Participating centres have staff on hand to provide information about organ donation, answer questions about the registration process and to assist citizens to confirm their intentions with BC Transplant by registering online as a donor. “As someone who has been touched by a close family friend in need of a heart transplant, I am proud to have played a part in helping this program become a reality. By increasing opportunities to register as an organ donor more lives can be saved,” (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX says Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo.

Live foosball

Okanagan College leadership team participants Chris Rawson, Liz Plamondon and Dennis Silvestrone push the ball towards the opposing students’ net in a game of human foosball. The temporary foosball enclosure was built from scrap materials by students in the electrical department under the guidance of trades administrator Rob Kjarsgaard.

Mayes champions parole bill Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes continues to push for tighter parole eligibility for inmates. Mayes recently concluded debate at second reading of his private members’ bill to amend the Criminal Code. Bill C-587 seeks to extend the

parole eligibility period for those convicted of the abduction, heinous acts of sexual assault and murder of an individual from 25 to a maximum of 40 years. “My bill has merit and will provide guidance and accommodation to our judiciary to further protect victims of violent

crimes,” said Mayes. “ Making murderers ineligible for parole for up to a maximum of 40 years could save families about eight unnecessary parole hearings. I am hopeful that my bill will pass second reading and be sent to the justice committee for further comment and study.”

Resiliency guides great start strong character: Leadership steps up to take command of game. By Evan Buhler OBSERVER STAFF

The Silverbacks’ hard-nosed effort paid off over the weekend in the Bauer BCHL 2014 Showcase in Chilliwack. “We really like the results, and our effort was awarded with four points,” said head coach Brandon West. The game on Friday was a wild affair that saw the scorekeepers get a workout rivalling the players on the ice. There were 23 penalties called between the ’Backs and the Langley Rivermen for a total of 48 penalty minutes. “It was a chippy game both ways and that can end up happening when games are played with a lot of emotion and passion,” West said. Despite 12 power plays, Salmon Arm only scored twice on the man advantage. On the penalty kill, the Silverbacks were efficient in killing all but one of their penalties. West said that because of all the penalties there was very little flow in the game, which made it difficult to get all the players involved. Getting through the

first 10 minutes was the most difficult part of the game said West. Play settled, and returning defenceman, Andrew Farny rifled home the BCHL 201415 season’s opening goal from the point off a face-off win, six seconds into a power play. Thomas Plese, Carson Bolduc and Nick Hutchinson also contributed goals in the 4-2 win. On Sunday the ’Backs faced the Surrey Eagles, who came off an embarrassing 11-2 loss to the Penticton Vees. West said he knew the Eagles would be hungry for a win. “We just had to play our game and use our speed and grit down the walls.” The Eagles jumped out to a quick three-tonothing lead in a fiveminute span of play in the first period, despite the Silverbacks controlling the play and outshooting Surrey. “Our leadership really stepped up and took over in the locker room; after that we really took charge,” said West. The Silverbacks special teams came to the rescue in the second period as Jack Berezan

Face off: Silverback Logan Mick, left, battles with Langley’s Gage Torrel in the face-off circle during the Bauer BCHL 2014 Showcase in Chilliwack over the weekend. scored an unassisted shorthanded goal. West said the Berezan goal made the bench come alive and gave them the belief they could win the game. Farny and Bolduc also contributed on special teams, each scoring their second goals of the season on the power play. Both teams shut down defensively in the third period, and the game remained tied at three, forcing overtime. Just over a minute into the second frame

of three-on-three overtime, Taro Hirose scored the game winner. “Coming back from three down really showed our team’s resiliency, despite what the scoreboard says,” West said. The Eagles’ goaltender, Christian Short, played an exceptional game between the pipes, saving 55 of 59 shots he faced. Once again the Interior Division appears to be one of the toughest and most competitive divisions in the BCHL.

The Interior Division was the only division over the weekend to see all their teams pick up a win. “This year the whole league will be very competitive, anyone can win on any night in the BCHL,” said West. “In our division all the teams are well coached, and I think we will see all six teams battling for the four playoff spots this year.” The ’Backs return home to face the Merritt Centennials at the Shaw Centre on Friday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m.

Kids have a blast at triathlon By Evan Buhler

OBSERVER STAFF

Last Sunday morning more than 65 kids swam, cycled and ran in the 11th annual Kids Try-a-Tri triathlon. For many of them, this was their first time competing in a triathlon. “It was lots of fun, I really like the exercise and sports in general,”

said Maggie Beckner, competing in her second Try-a-Tri. Race director Tiffany Lombaert was pleased with the turnout and how smoothly the race went. “It was great to see more than 65 kids come race with us today. We had many locals as well as participants from Vernon,

Kamloops and Nelson,” she said. “The race is growing every year.” One of the highlights of the event is the Top Local Male and Female trophies. “This is a great time to celebrate our racers from Salmon Arm,” said Lombaert. The Kimmy Bews Memorial Award is

awarded to the fastest male and female in the 14-plus age category. Aidan Hepburn won this honour for the second year in a row and Maggie Beckner, who was actually in the 12-to-13 age category, won the female award. “My strongest event was the run, and the other two were good,” said Beckner.

Lombaert says the triathlon could not have happened without the help of numerous volunteers. “The volunteers are who make this race fun for the kids. I couldn’t do this without them.” Lombaert is already looking forward to next year’s race which will take place on Sept. 20, 2015.

Wellspring Lake2Lake Ride for Rwanda, as he nares a pit stop at Little Mountain Fields on Saturday Sept. 20.

By Evan Buhler observer sTAFF

The Wellspring Lake2Lake ride for rwanda passed through salmon Arm over the weekend. More than 50 riders between the ages of nine to 77 cycled in the 220-kilometre two-day event from Kalamalka Lake, near vernon, to eagle bay camp on the shores of shuswap Lake and back. “It’s a fun two-day ride, it’s well-run, it’s a beautiful ride and all the money goes to charity,” said rod Nadeau, from Whistler, cycling in his first Lake2Lake ride. Cyclists came from around the province, Alberta, ontario, Washington state, and even rwanda to participate in the event. The cyclists made a pit stop at Little Mountain Field along the 115-km first leg of the journey, which took

them through scenic back roads via Armstrong. on the second day of the ride, the cyclists passed though silver Creek and o’Keefe ranch on a 105-km route. riders described near perfect cycling conditions saying the weather was not too hot or cold, and there was only a slight breeze. “We’ve been blessed to be able to ride for charity on such a wonderful day and in such a beautiful part of the world,” Nadeau said. This year to date, approximately $45,000 has been raised for the charity ride. The deadline for donations is oct. 15. Leanne Honce, cycling in her fourth Lake2Lake ride, said that her favourite part of the charity ride is knowing that the money raised really does

make a difference. “This is such a great event and is so well organized. With this event I know the money goes to the charity and not towards giving the riders a swag bag or prizes,” said Honce. she said she will keep returning to participate in the ride because of the beauty of the loop and the fabulous volunteers who put on such a great event. The funds raised in the Lake2Lake ride will impact more than 70,000 children, their teachers and their communities. The Wellspring Foundation’s Ignite48 initiative was created to promote education in rwanda. Donations can still be made to the rider’s pledge pages here: https://ccnbikes. com/2014-lake-2-lakeride-rwanda/pledge/ search/.

Chargers march on to remain undefeated The Salmon Arm bantam Chargers battled for first place against the Kelowna Mission Lions, the only other undefeated bantam team in a Kelowna match-up Sunday. The Chargers mounted a relentless ground attack to take a 20-0 lead in the first half leaving Lions reeling. Playing at home and determined to fight back, the Lions clawed back within one point

of the Chargers lead early in the second half. A little rattled but determined, the Chargers returned to their strengths and took back control, winning the game 33-19. The Chargers played without their starting QB, and relied on a strong performance from their back-up QB, and player of the game, Austin Crocker. Other strong performers were Noah Dies, Mathew Nesdoly,

Ben Novakowski and Jacob Zyri on defense. Tyler Chartier, Bladen Stephens, and Hayden Henning also had strong games on offense. The Salmon Arm peewee Colts played their first away game of the season in West Kelowna against the Sun Devils. They put together their best team effort of the year, in a 34-6 victory. Offense was again led by Sam Hall, who

rushed for four touchdowns, bringing his total touchdowns to eight for the season. The Colts also enjoyed strong games by player of the game, QB Vaughn McManamna, who threw for his second touchdown of the season to receiver Isaac Neilsen. Other strong offensive performances came from slotback Jonah Rivette and Teagan Mazzatto. Defensively the Colts were led by

Landen Sherwood and Dom Kemitzis, giving up only one touchdown, and forcing multiple Sun Devil turnovers. Salmon Arm junior bantam Broncos also played an away game against the West Kelowna junior bantam Sun Devils but lost a hard-fought game. Bronco’s Josh Seaman was awarded player of the game for his strong contribution on defense. Bronco touchdowns

BCHL Interior Division preview It’s year 53 in the B.C. Hockey League and the Interior Division appears to be even more balanced last year when the playoff race went down to the final weekend. The defending division champion Vees appear to be primed to repeat. Black Press sports reporters and editors have assessed the rosters and decided on the following finishes: 1. Penticton Vees Key Returnees: F Matthew Serratore (59-14), Steen Cooper (9-32-41), Riley Alferd (7-17-24), Jack Ramsey (9-16-25), Cody DePorucq (20-18-38) and Cam Amantea (10-717). D Patrick Sexton (3-6-9, 66 PIM), Jarod Hilderman (1-7-8). G Hunter Miska (19-122, 2.26 GAA, 2 SO, .915SAV). Strengths: The Vees will possess a strong transition game as they play with speed. The defence will also be mov-

ing the puck quicker. 2. Merritt Centennials Key Returnees: F Diego Cuglietta (19-3756), F Gavin Gould (1316-29), F James Neil (10-19-29), F Adam Tracey (12-14-26), D Shane Poulsen (7-1926), D Jake Clifford (414-18). Strengths: All good things start in goal, and the Cents’ off-season acquisition of 20-yearold Jonah Imoo from the Powell River Kings bodes well for the new season. The BCHL veteran and 2013 World Junior A Challenge participant has outstanding ability and tremendous leadership qualities. The return of 11 veterans should bring both stability and maturity to the ranks, while the new, young blood will contribute fresh enthusiasm and energy. 3. Salmon Arm Silverbacks Key Returnees: F Thomas Plese (10-1727), F Taylor Maruya (8-16-24), F Colton

Thibault (5-9-14), D Andrew Farny (4-2327) and G Angus Redmond (11-18-0, 3.33 GAA, .899 SAV). Strengths: A young but mobile defence led by Andrew Farny and Cole McCaskill, will help to bolster a fast, skilled offence with a lot of depth that is capable of scoring from all four lines. Adding Bolduc and Danyluk, both who have WHL experience, is a major boost to the size and lethality of the ‘Backs offence. 4. Vernon Vipers Key Returnees: F Liam Coughlin (18-2745), F T.J. Dumonceaux (7-13-20), D Riley Guenther (6-17-23), D Kenny Citron (1-67) Danny Todosychuk (11-9-1, 3.15 GAA, .902 SAV). Strengths: The Vipers have 16 new players following their semifinal run at the Royal Bank Cup and their roster is smaller than normal, but with more speed and moxy. Captain Guen-

ther, the team’s Top Defenceman last year, anchors a solid defence. The roster shakeup will be led by Mark Ferner, who left the WHL Kamloops Blazers an associate coach to become head coach and director of hockey operations in Vernon. Ferner, who guided the Vipers to back-toback Royal Bank Cup wins in 2009-10, replaces Jason Williamson, who stepped down during training camp due to personal reasons. 5. Trail Smoke Eaters Key Returnees: F Scott Davidson (16-1935), F Bryan Basilico (16-16-32), F Jake Lucchini (8-18-26), D Zane Schartz (3-15-18), G. Adam Todd. Strengths: Trail may be looking for an element of surprise with 10 rookies, but coach Nick Deschenes has mined some legitimate talent, including eight players with commitments to NCAA Division 1 schools. He has also

acquired veteran players like Trail natives Craig Martin (Alberni) and Dallas Calvin (Vernon), Harlan Orr (Alberni, Salmon Arm), and Coquitlam’s Victor Dombrovskiy who played two seasons with the Rivermen in Langley. Mix in the returning veterans and talented rookies, the Smokies should have balance throughout the lineup. 6. West Kelowna Warriors Key Returnees: F Liam Blackburn (1726-43), F Jason Cotton (23-36-59), F Jordan Masters (19-21-40), G Andy Desautels (2715-2, 2.57 GAA) and D Ryan Ivey (2-4-6). Strengths: Goaltender and team co-MVP Andy Desautels, 20, was a workhorse between the pipes for the Warriors last season and, with a largely new defensive corps in front of him, will likely need to be sharp again in 2014-15.

Sockeye prep By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

o salmon are visible in the Adams River yet, but preparations for their big homecoming are well underway. Construction noises compete with the sound of the river flowing by as a number of workers rush to ready Roderick Haig Brown Park for the dominant-run Salute to the Sockeye. The new parking lot is well laid out, with a large circular drive that will accommodate buses and a drop-off zone for people with disabilities. Adams River Salmon Society events coordinator Jeremy Heighton explains the site has undergone many changes since the last dominant run in 2010. He points to where the food vendors will be and, with another wave of his hand, reveals the location of the artisan and souvenir tents before heading off down a wide trail to explore changes to the viewing areas as well. Humans are not the only ones to have created changes in the layout of the park, particularly along the riverside portions of the trail. Describing the Adams River as being extremely dynamic, Heighton a former liaison officer with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, says the old viewing platform was a victim of the power of water and removed after the 2010 run. It

y e n for the long jour

is replaced by a new one at a more stable point along the river. Keeping river power in mind, Heighton points out two reasons why people need to keep to the trails: Pointing to a bend in the river where a huge debris pile has formed, and remained for a very long time, Heighton says anyone who falls in ( or chooses to enter voluntarily) is likely to be pushed into and sucked under the large mass of logs. “That’s it, there’s nothing we can do for you then,” he says of the extreme danger. Farther along the trail, he points to a hole about the size of manhole, another area to avoid. Beside the hole that has been created by bank erosion, is a clump of three tall trees that are already leaning toward the river. Another freshet, another rain-laden storm, and the bank could give way, toppling the trees into the water. On the trail again, Heighton heads to a wide swath of rocky beach considered safe enough for viewers to get near the river. Pointing to a fly fisherman nearby, Heighton says there is a legitimate rainbow trout fishery on the river. Heighton explains that rainbows will bump into female sockeye, which releases a few of her eggs and provides them with a nourishing meal. This leads to an explanation about seeing many dead salmon along with riverbanks with holes in their stomachs. “Eagles will drop the salmon on the

beach and poke them in their bellies to get to the eggs,” he says, pointing out that salmon do not eat once they enter the river and travel against the current for 485 kilometres before arriving at their spawning grounds, where the females use their flagging energy to dig a receptacle for their eggs. “By the time they arrive here, there is no nutrition left in their flesh,” he says. “That’s also why bears go for the eggs in the belly or the head for the brain.” After the mating dance, the males often depart, but the female, with about seven to 10 days left in her life, stays to guard her eggs until they harden, in about four days. As life wanes, it becomes harder and harder for her to remain in the current; harder still to fight her way back each time she drifts downriver. Finally, spent, she succumbs to the power of the river. The Salute to the Sockeye is a joint effort by the Adams

e m ho

River Salmon Society, DFO, BC Parks, the Canadian Wildlife Federation and the Pacific Salmon Foundation. During the salute, which runs daily 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Oct. 3 to 26, experts will be on hand to educate and answer questions. The grand opening is at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5. Visit www.salmonsociety.com for a map of the newly developed site, fees, practical tips, and more information about the run.

Wrestling legend Mick Foley will be at the SASCU Recreation Centre on Friday, Oct. 3 to perform his oneman show. The man of three faces brings his wit, wisdom, wildness and warmth to the stage with his show, Hardcore Legend: An Evening With Mick Foley. “It’s a wrestling talk show. I’m absolutely sure that people will leave with a smile on their face,” said the Hardcore Legend. The show is for all ages, but Foley still delves into stories of some of his most iconic matches for all the Hardcore fans out there. “The show is great. It’s like being in the ring, there’s going to be a lot of laughter with a little emotion to it,” said Foley. “It is a blend of new and old stories that are accessible for everyone.” Former World Wrestling Entertainment announcer Jim Ross once called Foley, “Unbelievably indestructible,” for all the punishment he could absorb while finishing matches with a bloodsoaked, toothless smile. The three-time

World Wrestling Federation champion will hold a question and answer period along with a meet and greet after the show. “Sometimes the best stories happen in the Q and A,” joked Foley. Foley is the retired wrestlers’ renaissance man. He has authored 10 books, four memoirs and four children’s books, occasionally done voice acting and has toured the land doing comedy shows. He is thoroughly enjoying his time away from getting beaten with steel chairs and being set on fire. “The shows are a great time and it doesn’t matter if they go bad, there is no way I can end up in the emergency room,” laughed Foley. The hellacious characters of Cactus Jack and Mankind are scheduled to make appearances on stage. Foley doesn’t have any roles for Dude Love, but you never know when he will emerge. “That’s actually my favourite part of the show, having those characters out,” said Foley. Although unlikely to happen in Salmon Arm, Foley has welcomed current and former wrestlers on stage for an added element to

Foley brings his one-man show to the rec centre Friday, Oct. 3. his show. Years after his retirement, Foley is still a dedicated wrestling fan. “I still sit down once a week and watch. There’s a lot of good things happening in the WWE.” Now living in Long Island, N.Y., Foley’s wrestling days are far behind him. At 49 and soon after successful back surgery, he promises, “I will be prowling the stage cat-like.” So instead of falling off 16-foot steel cages or getting DDT’d into a pile of tacks, Foley embarks on a film career while he continues

with the tours. Later this year he plans to start filming a few TV projects, and a documentary about the people who dedicate themselves as Santa Claus ambassadors airs this November. As for the flannel cut-offs, Foley has somewhat steered away from them for now. “I’m doing this thing where I have to wear Santa Claus-themed clothes for a year. The flannels will be out, but it will incorporate a Santa look,” said Foley. Tickets are available at www.brownpapertickets.com.

It comes with heavy hearts of the passing of Donna Leona Downing on September 16, 2014 at the age of 75 at Royal Inland Hospital Kamloops, BC due to a brain aneurysm. Mom was born on September 2, 1939 in Hamiota, Manitoba. She became a hairdresser at the age of 17 in Winnipeg then continued on to Calgary, Alberta to work as a hairdresser until she went back to school to do her office and medical training to become a unit clerk. Through the years mom worked as a unit / office clerk in various hospitals in Calgary, Alberta, Brandon, Manitoba, Nanaimo, BC and finally in Enderby, BC. She is survived by her husband Gordon of 35 years, her children Tim (Barb) Payne, Randy (George) Payne, & Loreana (Jan) Payne-Kuntz. Her step children Crystal (George) Butcher, Joe (Alyson) Downing & Kim (Billy) Morrow. Grand children Joel, Erickson, Kaitlyn, Clayton, Jeff, Trina, Arthur, Grayson, Bobby, Alex and Hayden and six precious great grand children. And finally but not least big brother Ed ( Betty) Pulver. Welcoming Mom in the next step of life’s journey is her mother Dorthy Pulver, brother Len Pulver and sister Deanna Lowe. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother but most of all she was our best friend who always had our backs. She was a dynamo of a woman with a zest for life, which showed even more in the last few months after she suffered her first brain aneurysm. Besides the love for her family she had a love for her gardens, oil painting, knitting, crocheting and her games (her grandchildren grew up playing video games with her). She looked forward to her mornings and afternoons bowling both in Salmon Arm and Chase even if she didn’t bowl well that day. It was more about the fun of being out and enjoying life with her friends. Mom’s favorite time of year was when spring time came so she could go and do the things she loved to do most, camping and fishing with Gord, family and good friends. At her request there is no service at this time with the family planning one last camping and fishing trip in her honour next spring to celebrate the person and gift she was to us all. We raise our glass of wine and put out our fishing lines in your honour mom, you will be so dearly missed but always with us.

NEWSPAPER CARRIERS NEEDED

COLLINS, THOMAS ROYDEN With great sadness and despair, the family of Thomas Royden Collins would like to announce that he passed away at Bastion Place on September 13th after a long battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Heidi of 44 years, and his children, Susan Rioux of Blind Bay BC, Rob Collins of Vernon BC and Rick Collins of Prince George BC, and his brother Bob Collins of Owen Sound, ON, and numerous grandchildren. Tom was born in Galt ON on August 8th, 1940, and had a very happy childhood growing up, spending most of his time outdoors exploring the Grand River by canoe, hiking the local trails, and playing his clarinet in the local marching band. At 18, he started out digging ditches for the Union Gas company and then went on to get his gas fitter license, and then his electrical, plumbing, and finally, refrigeration and heating. In 1972, Tom and his wife Heidi made a trip out west to explore the Okanagan area and they fell in love with the scenery, climate and the mountains. Two years later, Tom packed up his family and drove across the country in a red Volkswagen van to settle in Vernon BC. He started his own air conditioning and heating business and then went on to work for BC Tel where he stayed until retirement. Using all of his tickets, Tom built 2 houses throughout his life in Vernon for the family to live in, both which were designed by his wife Heidi who is a draftsperson. He enjoyed being outdoors in his leisure time, canoeing a lot of the local lakes and rivers, hiking and hunting, as well as cross country skiing. Tom was a brilliant jazz musician and had an amazing natural gift to improvise with his saxophone and clarinet. He spent many years playing around the Okanagan with various musician friends and left a great legacy in Vernon by being an integral part in the creation of the hugely successful “Vernon Jazz Society”. After retiring, Tom and his wife Heidi decided to move to Salmon Arm, BC in 2004. He still continued on with his music, doing a little bit of teaching and joining the Salmon Arm Community Band, which he immensely enjoyed. His most recent hobby involved fixing up a small sailboat, turning it into a lake-going vessel to explore the many large lakes in the region. He spent many hours lovingly working on this boat and experienced beautiful trips exploring the shorelines of the Shuswap, Adam’s and the Upper Arrow lakes. When he got sick, and was unable to do the things he loved, the memories of all his adventures sustained him and gave him joy. Thanks to Dr. Kirkman, his long-time physician for supporting him through this journey, and to Nikki, his home care nurse from the get-go, for setting up everything to make him comfortable and for her ongoing advice and visits. Thanks to all of the wonderful care aides – each and every one of you were so kind and caring. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Red Cross. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm 250 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Tom’s obituary at www. fischersfuneralservices.com.

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