Sombre ceremony
Laura Remus is overcome with emotion during a memorial at the cenotaph on Saturday, Oct. 25 to pay respects to Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. More than 50 people gathered under sombre skies, raising their voices with the singing of the national anthem and bowing their heads in a moment of silence for the two recently slain members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Royal Canadian Legion Branch #62 President Henry Butters was pleased with the turnout, particularly in view of the short notice for the impromptu ceremony. Organized as part of a national effort by veterans, Canadians from around the country gathered at their cenotaphs in a show of support and respect.

City ups funding for festival
Wednesday, October 29, 2014 Salmon Arm Observer
ELECT
Roots and Blues: Council votes to contribute $95,000 for 2015. By Martha Wickett
“We’ll hear from the fall fair regarding this…” Hermanski offered his acknowledgement. “It certainly will be a loss to them. We’re hoping someone else might want to rent.”
OBSERVER STAFF
The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society has had two wishes granted. City council decided Monday to provide an additional $50,000 to the Roots and Blues Festival in the city’s revised budget to help assist with an operating shortfall for the 2015 festival. Council also gave initial approvals necessary to allow the society to move its headquarters. At Monday’s council meeting, Coun. Alan Harrison explained why he approved the financial contribution, which council OK’d unanimously. “From my seat, the reason we’ve supported it is because we value that festival, we want it to continue to happen. I think it’s good for the city and we want to do our part. “I think there will be benefits to the citizens of Salmon Arm,” he said, adding, “We don’t plan to offer $50,000 every year, but we will this year. I know members of the board are working very hard to make the festival sustainable and we’re onside.” He said the money is available because the city has had a very good year for building revenue – about $50,000 more than was projected. The folk music society will be receiving $95,000 for the festival in the city’s 2015 budget: $45,000 as a specific referral that was approved earlier and the $50,000 approved Monday. It was noted that a study by Thompson Rivers University showed the festival generates $4.5 to $5 million for the community. The society also came to council to request support for a rezoning. The change in zoning would allow the society to move its offices up the road from the log building on Fifth Avenue SW to a city-owned

Alan Harrison City CounCillor At the city’s Oct. 20 planning meeting, Bernd Hermanski, a folk music society director, told council members that the society’s board has been trying to get access to the property for about six years. “It’s so well-located to the festival site, it’s always looked appealing to us.” He said the rent on the log building has
been climbing and is going up to $1,600/ month. With the festival currently in a tough financial situation after a loss this year, having an asset like the property at the other corner of the fairgrounds “would give us some control over costs.” The society rents from the Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake Agricultural Association, which puts on the annual fall fair. Hermanski said the society would start using the proposed building as office space, but would also like to have a caretaker suite where the artistic director, Peter North, could stay when he comes to Salmon Arm from his current home in Edmonton. He said North comes here once a month for the board meeting and then, immediately before the festival, would stay about a month. A bedroom and kitchenette would be useful. “Would it become a full-time residence? It might, it could, but we don’t know,” explained Hermanski. He also said some outside storage at the new site would make sense. Regarding timing, he said the board would like to make the move before next summer’s festival but he’s not sure if it would be possible. “Our first goal is to put on the festival and
we hope to have a better year next year.” Although a tenant now resides in the house, city staff said they have been given notice and will be out by Jan. 1, 2015. Kentel said she expects the agricultural association won’t be pleased.

Citizens rally to help family By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
A Salmon Arm family is facing one of the most heartwrenching of situations. Aumie Sato, 22 months old, is in BC Children’s Hospital, recovering after having had a teratoma tumour removed Oct. 10. The tumour has metastasized to her lung so she has been undergoing chemo therapy since Tuesday, Oct. 21. Aumie is expected to have to stay in hospital for four to six months, which means difficulties and expenses for her family: father Toshi, mother Yuko and big sisters, Hannah and Anjou. It means they must live apart, and they have already
had to shut down their restaurant, Sushi Kotan, some days. Yuko recently posted on Facebook that she needed a nanny for a couple of hours in the morning, which she has since found. A friend, Ruth Pearce, has set up a ‘YouCaring.com’ fundraising website, http://www. youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/help-aumie-fight-childhood-cancer/252099#.VEln6S6RAtw.facebook where people can donate. Pearce is hoping to have a trust account set up for Aumie Sato at Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union branches. If all goes according to plan, the account should be ready to accept donations by early next week.

There’s opportunity for an independent gas service station in Salmon Arm; what’s needed now is someone to act on it. Last week, the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Society met with gas industry representatives to discuss the prospects of bringing an independent owner/ operator into the community. Chamber president Jim Kimmerly said the purpose of the meeting was to see if
there was any support for the idea, and check out suitable locations. The outcome, he says, was very positive and the consensus was there’s a great opportunity for “the right kind of dealer” in Salmon Arm. “The right kind of dealer would be somebody that has a bit of a promotional flare to them,” said Kimmerly. “And being an independent, that would be part of the nature of that person going into that kind of business, so they would have the ability to adjust gas prices periodically.”
The Cavalier entered the curve at 128 km/hr and exited it at 122. It then travelled 80 to 90 metres before crashing. Nightingale said he was initially stumped when trying to do a simulation for the police vehicle, a 2009 Crown Victoria, because police cars don’t easily rotate and, in this case, after travelling around a counter-clockwise curve, it should have gone off to the right. He was then instructed to use some assumptions in his report to explain the data collected at the scene. He went on to explain
brake fade, “something I’ve experienced many times in my career.” When a vehicle is being driven hard or at high speeds, the brakes will heat up, he said. Nightingale noted GPS data showed Chan’s vehicle went from 155 to 144 km/ hr over four seconds. While the deceleration is not overly significant, he said, at that speed the brakes would heat up. The vehicle entered the curve at 144 km/ hr and exited it at 113, with no physical evidence that it was out of control. He noted police are trained to “straighten out the curve.” However, there was a full

Cancer treatment: Aumie Sato, 22 months, is currently undergoing chemotherapy in Vancouver with her mother by her side, while her father and sisters are trying to cope in Salmon Arm.
Jim Kimmerly Chamber of CommerCe The meeting was prompted by what Kimmerly has described as a lack of competition between the city’s service stations, with gas prices that are typically higher than in neighbouring communities.
“So now, what has to happen from our end, our end being the chamber and EDS, is we have to do a bit of a search to see if we can find somebody here, locally, who has a good understanding of the market and is interested in that kind of operation,” said Kimmerly. “And then we would get them hooked up with the appropriate people to go from there.” Kimmerly says he’s confident an independent owner/operator would do “extremely well.” Regarding the recent public gas price pro-

brake application between 113 and 90 km/ hr. Nightingale said when a hard brake is applied and the front brakes are already experiencing ‘fade,’ the back brakes will do all the work. “That police car is coming up to the scene, doing a full brake application and the vehicle is experiencing brake fade – and that’s what initiates the rotation.” He said Chan would have lost control going 87 km/hr, consequently rotating 180 degrees. When the Crown Victoria went over the embankment backwards, it was going 13 km/hr.
McDougall established that police are not taught about brake fade during their depot training or advanced training. At the end of Thursday’s testimony, the trial was adjourned until today, Wednesday. Crown counsel Allan Mandell said he could likely conclude his case today. McDougall said three or four police officers, as well as a civilian witness, may be testifying for the defence. Judge Anne Wallace said that might not leave time for closing arguments Friday, so it’s not yet known if the trial will conclude this week.
tests, Kimmerly says it’s good to see more people becoming involved, and that petroleum companies see it’s not just the chamber and its membership who are frustrated and want change. “I kind of hope they can grow that to a larger format so that message gets out even more clearly,” said Kimmerly. “I know the operators here in town, they hate to see this happen and they don’t have the control over it. They would love to see Salmon Arm be more competitive but it’s out of their hands.”

Colin Mayes walked into the Conservative caucus room Wednesday not realizing that within minutes, a dramatic chapter in Canadian history would unfold. The weekly gathering of government MPs had just started and Prime Minister Stephen Harper was addressing the crowd when a series of gunshots were heard just outside of the room at 9:55 a.m. “I was at the back of the room. What was happening was on the other side of the wall,” said Mayes, OkanaganShuswap MP. “Most of us stood up because the first reaction is to get away from danger. We looked at where we should go.” Mayes wouldn’t get into specific details as to what occurred inside the caucus room, but says he and other MPs turned to their colleagues with law enforcement and military experience. “They are trained to react and they took charge. They organized and knew the safest place to be and we all listened to them,” he said. Harper was immediately removed from the caucus room and taken to a safe location. “For all of us, our first reaction was to surround him and protect him,” said Mayes, who was locked down in the caucus room for seven hours. “They (security) kept us briefed but the worst time was when the shots stopped. The concern was someone
would be at the door that was not friendly. But the RCMP came to the door which was a relief.” At this point, Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers had shot an armed individual just outside the caucus rooms. “He is a hero and was the right man for the job,” said Mayes. The entire incident began just a few minutes earlier when an individual approached the honour guard at the National War Memorial and shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a 24-year-old reservist in the Canadian Forces. Cirillo died from his injuries. On Thursday morning, MPs gathered at the War Memorial to pay tribute to Cirillo. It’s still not deter-
mined if the shooter was acting alone or is connected to radical movements in the Middle East, but Mayes insists Wednesday’s tragedy will not deter the federal government from taking action
Colin Mayes MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT against terrorism. “The worst thing about fear is fear alone and we won’t go into that mode. We will continue to stand for those
who are oppressed,” he said, adding, though, that he is concerned some Canadians will use the incident as an opportunity to embrace intolerance. “Canada is made up of different nationalities and faith groups and it has shown respect for all and it’s important to remember those values. You will always get people in society who can be radicalized or have some determination against the government.” He admits that security on Parliament Hill must be considered. On Thursday morning, Mayes was back in the House. “We will continue with business. We will make a statement by continuing on with business here,” he said.

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH
Tracy Hughes
Time change this Sunday Reason #238 why I think we should dispense with Daylight Savings Time: Because of the probable chance that you will manage to reprint it incorrectly in the newspaper and suffer great personal humiliation. Yes, last week we made a pretty stunning blunder in Friday’s edition of the Shuswap Market News. At already nearly two hours after deadline and with the press breathing down our necks, a short-staffed newsroom attempted to get the paper finished. And in the final throes, someone asked about whether we got the information about the time change into the paper. Knowing that I hadn’t got that item in, I assumed this to mean the clocks needed to be changed on Oct. 26 and managed to put an alert to this with a little clock photo in the index box on the front page. And off the paper went, zooming across cyberspace to be printed in Vernon. It wasn’t until the thousands of papers arrived ready to be delivered on Thursday that another staff member pointed out the mistake. So I did what any self-respecting editor would do. I went in my office, closed the door and repeatedly banged my head on the desk. Because at that point, there’s really not much else you can do. It’s the beauty and curse of printed newspapers – they last. It makes me long for my brief days in radio, when, if you made a blunder like that, it’s instantly over, and can be rapidly corrected. You can’t pocket radio waves and carry them in your wallet, like the printed newspaper page, which is a solid, tangible reminder of your mistakes. And now there’s my mistake on approximately 16,000 pages spread throughout the Shuswap. It’s humbling. People like to grouse about the media getting it wrong. And they are correct. Sometimes we do get it wrong. Newspapers are created by people and, as we all know, people are fallible. Another wise editor once noted there’s nothing like an error to let you know that someone is reading. So we took to our website, Facebook and Twitter and ate crow in an effort to ensure that people would not change their clocks and end up an hour early for everything. If you got caught by our error, my deepest apologies. This does segue into my abiding distaste for the time change generally. It’s really the only reason I would consider a move to Saskatchewan, where common sense prevails and they do not change the clocks twice a year. Humour columnist Dave Berry is one of my writing heroes, in part because of this very quote: “You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe Daylight Saving Time.” Much like my error, I can’t do anything about the current time system, except to now inform you that you should indeed turn your clock back one hour on this Sunday, Nov. 2. Trust me, I won’t forget this year. And, as always, thanks for reading.

Editorial
Canada not immune from terrorism Our nation has been lucky for a great many years. Unlike the majority of countries around the world, terrorist acts, domestic or foreign, are rare in this country. But we got a wake-up call Wednesday when an armed man killed a soldier guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa and then moved on to Parliament. House of Commons Sergeant-atArms Kevin Vickers killed the gunman before he could kill anyone else, but the message here is clear. We are not immune. As we praise Vickers and mourn Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, there is a looming question of what the future holds for us as a country and a people in the coming days. Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, summed it up well.
“It is a day of tragedy. We must ensure we keep our responses proportionate to whatever threat remains.” However horrific this incident is, it shouldn’t be allowed to change Canada’s character as a nation devoted to peace and striving, however uncertainly, toward a just society. Too many countries, including our neighbour to the south, have gone down the road of letting national security trump human rights. But come this Remembrance Day, along with the usual observances, be sure to set aside a few extra moments to remember both Cpl. Cirillo, senselessly killed in the performance of his duties and Vickers, who prevented further tragedy. –Penticton Western News

Honour loss with School trustees should be heard at forum Canadian values The death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo is tragic, and my heart goes out to his family. The best way to honour his service is to be more Canadian – more dedicated to peace, kindness and social justice. Religious intolerance, racism, fear mongering and revenge are not Canadian values, and using his death to erode Canadian civil liberties or to increase our foreign aggression is an insult to his service and his death.

Citizens taking action on gas price Citizens of Salmon Arm know gas prices in Salmon Arm have skyrocketed for years in comparison to surrounding towns. We are fed up! A gas price protest group swelled recently on its Facebook page “organized a boycott of local gas prices” to 225 members, many of whom have been protesting at Husky. We are targeting the two biggest gas companies owned by Suncor: Shell and Petro Canada. Anyone wishing to join, go to Facebook page, read the comments, join, add your own comments. Remember this Facebook page is a public page, will be read worldwide. There are millions who are disgusted by the collusion among gas and oil companies to keep gas prices high while oil prices steadily go down. Many Salmon Arm residents go to Enderby, Fas Gas, Kamloops and Vernon for gas where it is always 10 to 20 cents less than Salmon Arm. We intend to change that. People would rather shop local yet go elsewhere for gas and do grocery shopping. This drains many dollars from Salmon Arm’s economy. Mayor Nancy Cooper and council are working to get gas prices down also. Email your letters to them and both local papers so they know just how voters (election coming up) are sick of being gouged by gas companies. Please honk for gas price boycott protesters outside gas stations; do not buy gas at Shell or Petro Canada. Please do not harass gas station employees who have no say in setting gas prices. If you believe this boycott protest will do nothing, remember it is non-voters in elections who complain later when no changes occur. If you do not join us, write letters and make your voice heard, You have no right to complain any longer about high gas prices etc. in Salmon Arm. Yvonne Nairn
I am displeased that there is no scheduled forum for school trustee candidates. Notwithstanding a busy slate for city hall elections, it is imperative that the school trustee candidates have the opportunity to take the floor. After all, School District #83 manages a larger
budget than the City of Salmon Arm and is the largest employer in the Shuswap. Trustees are charged with the significant task of allocating precious funds. New candidates should have the opportunity to present fresh ideas and direction. Incumbents should have time
to defend their fiscal decisions to this point. Those concerned with education would do well to demand a school trustee forum. I demand one. Jennifer Henrie
Poorly marked roads dangerous for drivers A very dangerous situation is developing on our highways as we approach the dark, rainy, snowy winter season. The paint marking the highway lines is faded and in some places not visible at all. Driving is hazardous enough with-
out having to play “find the road”. The apparently water-soluble paint being used is not adequate; it is neither reflective nor durable. According to our road maintenance contractor, painting and maintenance of the highway lines are under the control of
the Ministry of Highways. Standards need to be improved, with a requirement for semi-annual line refreshes using a much better product. Frightened for everyone’s safety, June Stewart
City should reconsider the proliferation of wifi What a tremendous regressive step backwards for humanity Salmon Arm council is taking by allowing more invisible pollution in the very places where one ought to be able to find solace and freedom from the ravages of illconceived modern technology. Just because microwave radiation (which is what wi-fi is) can not be seen, heard, touched, smelled or tasted does not mean that its lethal and toxic properties are not present everywhere it is
proliferated. And the effects of radiation are accumulative. Advanced civilizations are already swimming in a soup of this deadly initiative. Young developing brains in children are particularly vulnerable. The mountain of negative evidence is out there but is being suppressed by the gods, Profit & Greed. Even the World Health Organization has declared all wireless technology a class 2b carcinogen. If you don’t know what that
is – it means it causes cancer. This is what happens when a few grossly uninformed folk with dubious authority make decisions affecting many innocent victims. I would like to know what financial agreement Shaw has placed on the table, or perhaps under the table. Wake up Salmon Arm! Your stroll down the ‘garden path’ is leading you right into the monster’s jaws! Edgar Murdoch
GMO labelling allows consumers to make choice A recent letter asserted that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) - involving mostly plants - provide safe food sources. Food quality is vitally important to our health; a sceptical view of such assertions is wise. GMO examples are herbicide (e.g. Roundup) resistance in canola, allowing weed competition to be eliminated by crop spraying with herbicide; others occur in soya and corn. GMOs are produced by very different technology from conventional cross-breeding and selection. A gene is transferred, with an antibiotic resistance marker plus a powerful ‘on’ switch, from one species into a second. Inserted herbicide resistance is then inherited in the recipient’s future generations. Note that crosses between different species are virtually impossible in conventional breeding. Claims that there are no other GMO vs non-GMO differences are contradicted by independent studies. Changes causing, for example allergic effects, organ damage, or transfer of inserted genetic material to microbes in the consumer, are currently unscreened; no independent, rigorous
human safety testing occurs. Herbicide residues in GMO crops/products, and herbicide impacts on the whole farm and neighbouring environments, are unscreened. GMO yield superiority is very contentious, and well-documented transfer of herbicide resistance to weeds occurs. Cross pollination by wind/insects of adjacent non-GMO crops results in contamination of these crops, seriously affecting nonGMO growers’ stocks and businesses. Government GMO licensing decisions rely solely on biotechnology industry data; detailed information on industry procedures/results is unavailable for independent public scrutiny. Much more can be said, particularly about glaring conflicts of interest. Given the value of scepticism in many areas today, the mandatory labelling in Canada of food products from GMO sources – already available for masses of consumers elsewhere – will be a progressive move. Consumer choice is apparently a cornerstone of free market capitalism. Hugh Tyson

A male psychologist worried about the dangerous ramifications of the feminist movement: “The women of today are not the women of a decade ago. They are doing things that a decade ago would have created a wave of resentment and indignation. They smoke with impunity in public, in automobiles and taxicabs.”

People were warned to lock their cars while parked in Salmon Arm. A report went on to say that it was sad to have to give that warning, but some petty thieving had been going on. Larch Hills Players put on a successful masquerade dance. The evening was interspersed with two short plays, songs and violin selections.

Need of a community centre in Salmon Arm was stressed by a Kelowna pro-rec instructor speaking at a Kinsmen Club dinner meeting at the Montebello Club. City council decided to purchase $8,000 worth of Victory Bonds in Canada’s seventh loan campaign. Sales of War Savings Stamps by Salmon Arm’s Miss Canada Girls during September totalled $376.75. A “Hallowe’en Shell-out” for milk for British children, was being planned by the Kinsmen.

People will always need to use the planet’s resources. But with the world population heading to the two billion mark, there is a need for doing so wisely. To help future planners and legislators accomplish this, School District #83 teacher David Ramsay and local systems ecologist Barry Wilson have developed BC Tomorrow, a nonprofit society created to help students and teachers better understand sustainable planning. Feeding on each other’s enthusiasm, Ramsay and Wilson have been working to develop an online simulator that uses cutting-edge geographical information systems (GIS) technology and satellite imagery that will allow users to explore options for balancing human activity such as settlement and development, use of natural resources and tourism with a view to the needs of humans, animals and the environment. “Systems ecology looks at the interaction of people with ecosystems and landscapes,” explains Wilson, who got in touch with
Ramsay following an Observer story about the environmental science course he designed based on the Shuswap watershed. The pair acknowledge that people, prosperity and social well-being are important factors to consider. “We can’t ignore the fact we have to work, but we can’t deny the planet either,” says Ramsay. Adds Wilson, “There are lots of issues today where we’re making trade-offs – liquid natural gas and the Alberta Tar Sands. “What we’re trying to do is help students learn about the connections between land use and ecological integrity.” Ramsay cites development on the Salmon River floodplain in 2009 as an example of a project that caused relationship damage and cost both time and money. “If they had done a planning model at the beginning and adopted an approach with all the variables needed, it might have reduced the conflict,” says Ramsay. “In theory, they would have had all the stakeholders working together.” Wilson notes that development usually brings both benefits and liabilities, but sorting out
BARB BROUWER/OBSERVER
BC tomorrow: Teacher Dave Ramsay and systems ecologist Barry Wilson hold an animated discussion about sustainable planning. all the factors in complex projects can be difficult. Based on an Alberta program already in use in that province, the online simulator will enable students to engage in interactive exploration of land use in local watersheds, develop critical-thinking skills and improve their understanding of system dynamics. “They’ll start to learn about the important connections and hopefully this will help them when they have to find sustainable solutions in the future,” says Ramsay with enthusiasm. “Students will be able to watch online videos about the benefits and impacts of human land use, learn about the integration of economies and ecosystems, develop their own watershed plans, design local experiments, create projects and share their findings with classrooms across B.C.”
Ramsay says teachers will also benefit from online resources including lesson plans and videos. “It’s a celebration of learning, and kids are so tech-savvy now, they’ll glom onto it because it’s so easy for them… then they’ll go home and share it with their parents.” Wilson points out BC Tomorrow is not a lobby for one side or the other in any development, but an acknowledgement that while we need a place to live, we can choose how to develop it. Ramsay and Wilson pitched their proposal to a group of local community reps a year ago and say the feedback was positive. “It could be seen as a green thing, but others were happy seeing it as a balanced approach,” Wilson said. “We did our homework with a cross-section of leaders
– politicians, scientists, business owners and educators.” The men received non-profit status for the group a month ago and have reserved their web address. The program will be rolled out at School District #83 first, plans are to extend it online across the province – free of charge. “It will give the kids the opportunity to test their own theories and provides the tools to promote conversation and learning,” says Wilson. “So instead of people coming to the table with a position and try to win other people over, they can come to learn about what is possible, collaborate and share to find a common solution that works for everyone, based on the best knowledge available.” Follow the society’s progress or get involved via the group’s website at www.bctomorrow. com.

RCMP looking to identify suspects
Dr.Tim Bollans and Dr. Mhairi Russell at Hudson Dental would like to thank the following businesses for making our project possible.
POLICE B E AT Salmon Arm RCMP have released two surveillance images in an attempt to identify the suspects of a theft and credit card fraud. On Aug. 19 at 3:56 p.m., officers from the Salmon Arm detachment responded to a report of a residential break and enter on Summit Drive in Blind Bay. The homeowner had been home all day, then went for a run at 2 p.m. She arrived back home at 3 p.m., and found a ladder at the back of the house, allowing someone to gain entry to the second floor back balcony. Several items were stolen from the home including the homeowner’s credit cards. Police investigation revealed one of the credit cards had been used at the Chevron Station in Salmon Arm soon after the theft. Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two persons in the surveillance images. Anyone who may know the identity of these persons may contact Crime Stoppers, or the local RCMP de-

Drug dealing A man was arrested after police suspected him of dealing drugs. At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, police watched a man they believed to be trafficking drugs in Salmon Arm’s downtown. The officers subsequently conducted a search of the suspect and located quantities of marihuana, powder cocaine and amphetamines.
Impaired driver It was clearly the wrong time for a Salmon Arm woman to be behind the wheel. At 6:45 p.m., on Saturday, Oct. 25, police located a vehicle in the ditch on 11th Ave NE near 30th St. NE. Witnesses say the
driver nearly hit another vehicle, then hit a road sign before going off the road. The 42-year-old female driver from Salmon Arm was grossly intoxicated and unable to stand. The driver provided breath samples, which indicated three times the legal limit of alcohol in her system.
Car thefts Police received several reports of vehicles being entered in the nighttime hours. Thieves have been targeting unlocked vehicles and taking all items of value. Police wish to remind the public to empty their vehicle of all items of value, and lock these vehicles when not in use.

Mayoral Candidate
MY priorities are not relevant. I do not have a personal agenda. We have an official community plan, We have had strategy sessions. We have had, and continue to get input from the public , whether it be individuals, organizations or simply groups of interested citizens. As a council, our first priority should be to listen, and determine the benefits and drawbacks of any project, whether this project is as simple as filling potholes or as major as funding an underpass. In short, my priorities come from the grass roots up not vice versa.
NANCY COOPER
Mayoral Candidate
Mayoral Candidate
One of my top priorities is to move forward with a downtown college campus. I want to work with Okanagan College and the University of Fraser Valley to offer in-demand training programs, possibly in agriculture and trades. The economic benefits of a downtown campus would be enormous. A recent study by the EDS estimated the project would generate approximately 160 jobs and inject $10.3 million into the local economy (see www.salmonarmdcc.ca). It is a clean industry that would help attract and retain skilled workers and youth. Facebook/CannonforMayor
IAN WICKETT
As you know, since 2008 we have come through some tough economic times. In the past three years, our local economy has started moving forward. We have made significant inroads in the right direction and I will continue to support and prioritize projects that provide sustainable growth in Salmon Arm. One of these projects is our new downtown college campus, made possible by a generous donation of a 20-acre site. With an agricultural focus, this project will diversify our economy and bring vibrancy and jobs, community gardens and greenhouses, sidewalks and trails, all which promote a healthy lifestyle.
Mayoral Candidate
My priority project will be to ensure that I get all the information reasonably available on proposals and problems. The information will be the basis upon which to weigh various proposals, mine and others, for improving life in Salmon Arm, to identify issues and problems for which a proposal has not come forth, and to enable a successful search for a solution. It will enable me to balance conflicting priorities and identify opportunities for solutions that are not a bad compromise, but a win for everyone.
Chamber hosts municipal candidates A municipal all-candidates forum hosted by the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Salmon Arm is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 2 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort. Mayoral and council candidates have been invited to participate. Because of time constraints for the meeting, only written questions will be used. Submit questions by going to www.sachamber. bc.ca or www.salmonarmdowntown.com and select the link for question submissions. The deadline for question submissions is today, Oct. 29. Questions will be viewed by a committee and will be queued by key topic and date of submission.

The most important undertaking as a councillor would be poverty, housing, and nutritional food stamps, or subsidies offered by our local sustainable agriculture industry. Nurture the family once again back into the middle class.
City growth is my number-one priority. We need to ensure that we have the infrastructure to accommodate the growth of our businesses and that obviously includes the needs of people working here for housing, utilities and sewer, shopping and recreation. I believe the primary role of council is to maintain the long-range city plan and move the city toward achieving it.

There are many projects and initiatives that I foresee going forward in Salmon Arm, including one that is near and dear to my heart, the development of a performing arts centre but without hesitation my first priority will be to lower taxes. Over my past 25 years we have seen many of our brightest young people leave Salmon Arm go off to University, take jobs elsewhere and never come back. Salmon Arm is renowned for its beauty and community spirit but to attract business and jobs we must be seen as a progressive community that is striving to lower taxation.

A new expanded downtown college campus would stimulate the local economy and help diversify population growth while providing Salmon Arm with a growing clean industry. The positive socio-economic benefits the campus would offer could potentially double or triple our current enrolment, injecting conceivably up to 1,000 new students each year into the community. The campus would also provide a much-needed economic boost during our historic shoulder season (September-May). www.chadeliason.ca

A downtown college campus is my number-one project. Education is the foundation of economic development. Studies of college towns show the closer a campus is to downtown, the more likely students are to find employment opportunities with local businesses. They are then more inclined to stay in the community once their education is complete, and the more vibrant and dynamic that community’s downtown core is, the healthier it is. Beyond the educational opportunities, downtown campuses galvanize downtown activity, supporting growth and complementary activities, such as a performing arts centre and enhanced sports and recreation programming.

For me the number-one capital project continues to be the TransCanada Highway west of Salmon Arm. We have made progress here over the past three years, however the project is not complete. The city needs to continue to work towards the building of a new four-lane Salmon River bridge and safe entering and exiting to businesses. Working with the provincial transportation ministry, the Neskonlith Band and local businesses is crucial on this project.
JAY CADEAU
Council Candidate
I believe the Hudson Street revitalization project would take top priority under the Salmon Arm Strategic Plan. There is a real need for the water main upgrade, underground utilities and road resurfacing construction. The impact on the taxpayer is projected to be minimal due to the use of the gas tax funding program. The completion of this project will allow Hudson Street to be more efficient to re-route motorist and pedestrian traffic as the construction of the Ross Street underpass progresses.
KEVIN FLYNN
Council Candidate
I did not decide to run again because of one specific project/ issue. A number of projects all have momentum in our community ( downtown college, transportation infrastructure improvements, enhancements to industrial lands, performing arts centre). They need to be managed/delivered with fiscal responsibility. We also must be perceived as ‘open for business’ so we can diversify our tax base, while effectively and efficiently using your taxes to move the community forward. I know my significant political/leadership experience, combined with my ability to be team player, will be an asset to Salmon Arm.
IVAN IDZAN
Council Candidate
Salmon Arm has a current strategic plan, with many worthy projects already identified, most of which I strongly support (per my previous knowledge and experience as a councillor). However, in terms of physical projects, I want the Blackburn Park upgrade process that began almost a decade ago be completed. Doing so will provide the community a public space that is both beautiful and useful to its residents and allow other community amenities to receive appropriate consideration. A less physical priority is more recognition for a strong communications strategy; everything the city does depends on clear, accessible communication with residents.

KEN JAMIESON Choosing one project or initiative is difficult. Every town has needs to be addressed. But for me, a very important project is the redesign and construction of the Salmon River bridge. Work has been done, but simply put: it needs to be wider, higher and straighter. The project will require co-operation between the city, provincial ministries and local First Nations, and a need to satisfy the interests of adjacent landowners. This project is about safety, flood risk management and economic development. The next council needs to champion this project and finish a process started several years ago.
WAYNE MASTERS
Council Candidate
Analyzing current big data on any issue before council and condensing it for other councillors to help us make the best decisions easier, not from long, drawn-out consensus of little data. From this information I can make intelligent comments that can be catalytic for other points of view. Similar to the Google philosophy, the goal is to transform the official community plan into a happy productive workplace/fun place environment for Salmon Arm. To provide lean government in doing this, I support multi-tasking at city hall and the best communication systems for the most feedback from the citizens.
There are many priorities that need to be worked on, but the number-one for me is still the local economy. A full review is needed to measure where we are economically to where we want to be. Many on council look to the proposed downtown community college as a solution to most of the economic issues that are present. The college would be a good addition when, and if, it is built. However an actionable plan for attracting businesses that we want in the community that will create more employment opportunities is needed now. This requires focus and leadership.
RUTH THOMAS
Council Candidate
At this point I have no project in mind that I wish to champion over others. Any projects that come to council need to be reviewed and studied on their own merits. There are however general concepts that I feel need to be incorporated into all current and future projects; those being inclusiveness, collaboration and the mindful care of our watershed.
MARCEL BEDARD My role as a trustee as I see it, will be to get the teachers the tools to do their jobs better, to do my best to help the teachers’ determine their class sizes and compositions and have good communications with the teachers and staff so I can receive the best information to make proper decisions.
The Observer is giving candidates an opportunity to answer one question per week in the run up to the Nov. 15 municipal elections.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
The Observer is giving candidates an opportunity to answer one question per week in the run up to the Nov. 15 municipal elections.
MICHEL SAAB
School Trustee Candidate
Focusing on the future of all our children, we should use the time provided by the current collective agreement to work with our educators to determine what the research tells us about the best way to educate in the North Okanagan-Shuswap. Then, in concert with other BC Boards of Education, lobby the BC Cabinet for the implementation and the funding of the appropriate 21st century delivery of education. We have to keep education a priority for our society as we need to unlock the potential of every child. My focus is education, not politics
Council Candidate
There are a number of priorities coming up and how they are handled is as important as the projects themselves. The replacement of the Salmon River bridge, promoting economic development, the downtown community campus and most of the proposed short-term strategic plan projects are all at the top of my list. Real collaboration and transparent decisionmaking in investing our tax dollars is needed. Factual communication, open public data, neighbourhood associations that would provide a local voice to council and a minimal use of the alternate approval process are good starts.

LOUISE WALLACE RICHMOND
Council Candidate
My priority would be to align the work of the city with the priorities of the community. Community members power a city. A city provides the open and accessible grid for that power to move and create progress. In that sense, infrastructure from the Salmon River bridge to services to the industrial park – is key. As citizens, we are the owners of the community and our property tax supports the infrastructure we need to get the job done. Without transparency on all civic matters, we cannot improve the groundwork critical to our productivity and success. More at wallacerichmond.ca

BOBBI JOHNSON
School Trustee Candidate
I will be advocating for the students and the education system in our district by listening to our community – and keeping in touch with our parents and staff. The past year has been very trying for our system, teachers have been on strike and students were not in school. I see the wonderful work that teachers and staff achieve with our children. I also see how difficult it is sometimes for them, as professionals, they are the front line of what happens in classrooms and we need to listen and hear what they have to say. We advocate in many ways to increase funding for the education system and if re-elected, I will continue to advocate.
DALE TOWNSEND
School Trustee Candidate
This district has long enjoyed relatively good relationships. That sense of peace must continue. My role as trustee would be to find every possible dollar to put into the classrooms to support the teachers. That role would mean a constant reminder to the province of the impact of recent decisions. The money recently saved should be returned to the district. It will only be with a clear understanding that the trustees support the children here that good relations can go on.

The city plans to borrow $500,000 to make improvements to Blackburn Park that will offer amenities for all ages. “The long-term borrowing has something for everyone in it,” remarked Coun. Chad Eliason, as council discussed the plan Monday. Included in the half-million dollar price tag is $352,000 for redevelopment of soccer field #2; $217,0000 for construction of phase one of the Life Trail System circling the park; $50,000 for construction of a recreation shelter; and $10,000 for borrowing costs, all offset partially by donations from the city’s Rotary clubs and Telus. “What we are getting is important for the community,” Eliason said, noting the tax increase for the debenture debt will be minimal. The public will have an opportunity to have a say on the long-term borrowing through the alternative approval process. In order to prevent the borrowing, 10 per cent of electors, or 1,336, must sign a petition opposing the borrowing. City administrative Carl Bannister said the deadline for electoral response forms is Monday, Feb. 23 – longer than the usual time allowed. He said that’s because the ministry required to approve the bylaw is four to six weeks behind because of the provincial election. The extension will also make up for the Christmas break. The whole council spoke highly of the project, which was identified as a top priority during the city’s parks master plan process. Coun. Alan Harrison suggested a one-page flyer outlining the Blackburn project be distributed to the community, so citizens will be able to make an informed decision on the borrowing. His motion was supported unanimously by the rest of council.

Agriculture plan moves ahead Economy: Strategy recommends education, branding. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Work to promote and preserve agriculture in the Shuswap is flourishing. Robyn Cyr, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s economic development officer, reported to Salmon Arm’s planning meeting on Oct. 20 that progress is being made. She said she will be providing her report to Sicamous council as well. “Good things are happening, there’s a fair amount of momentum going and some good funding opportunities are available,” Cyr told council members.

Sweet benefit for hospital By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
There were smiles all round Thursday as managers of the three Shuswap Tim Hortons handed over $6,000 to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation. The money raised during the annual Smile Cookie Campaign will go towards the purchase of equipment for Shuswap Lake General Hospital. The CT scan upgrade was installed at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in mid-June of this year and the Shuswap Hospital Foundation committed $205,000 in order to purchase this upgrade. The foundation has already raised $133,000 towards the purchase of the upgrade and trying to raise a further $72,000.
BARB BROUWER/OBSERVER
Cookie campaign: From left, Shuswap Hospital Foundation director of development Fiona Harris and foundation chair Doug Murray, far right, accept a cheque from Tim Hortons managers Kathleen Linnell, Tanya Kraft and Cindy Keifuk. “The CT scan upgrade is much appreciated by the diagnostic imaging staff and they feel that this upgrade greatly enhances the patient care they are currently providing,”
says the foundation’s director of development Fiona Harris. Those wishing to help the foundation meet its goal may do so online at www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org

City to consider swings, benches for Jackson Park

By Martha Wickett
OBSERVER STAFF
City council would like to explore more funds for the playground in North Canoe, but not this year. In response to complaints, council discussed the new playground at Jackson Park at its Oct. 14 meeting. The features in the non-traditional park, which is designed for imaginative play, include synthetic step-

ping stones and rocks for climbing, a rope bridge, a pretend creek, a play canoe, two baby swings and a tire for swinging. The playground has been criticized for its lack of a slide, teeter-totter, bench and enough swings. Coun. Chad Eliason asked what the cost would be to add more traditional equipment and if there are funds remaining in the 2014 budget.

Rob Niewenhuizen, the city’s director of engineering and public works, said there is no money left in this year’s budget. He said the city has looked at more swings and some benches, which would amount to about $30,000 for delivery, installation and a safe fall area for the children.

Monica Dalziel, the city’s chief financial officer, said it would be possible, but she wasn’t sure how much is left. Eliason said he thinks it’s a little late in the year to start digging, but possibly next spring.

Making the save: Silverbacks goaltender, Zach Dyment, left, makes a save on the Smoke Eaters Jake Lucchini in a game at the Shaw Centre on Friday, Oct. 24.
’Backs still in division race By Evan Buhler observer sTAFF
Coming off a 4-1 loss to Trail last Wednesday night salmon Arm redeemed themselves at the shaw Centre in the second half of a home-and-home series with the smoke eaters last Friday. Trail opened up the scoring in the first period when Charlie Zuccarini collected
his own rebound and slotted in his ninth goal of the season. Just 18 seconds after Trail took the lead, silverbacks rookie Karl el-Mir tied up the game, scoring his first goal in the bCHL. shane Danyluk won the faceoff at centre ice and worked the puck into smoke eaters zone, and centred it from behind
the goal to el-Mir in the slot, who fired it in. The ’backs would go on to score two more quick goals on the man advantage, coming from the team’s two top scorers, Taro Hirose and Andrew Farny. salmon Arm went two for three on See Silverbacks on page A20

salmon Arm’s junior bantam broncos played the Kelowna riders last sunday in their last regular season game. The broncos fighting for playoff position battled hard and went home with the 43-30 victory. The broncos started the game with an early touchdown from Devin MacPhee, who was awarded player of the game, and a second scoring play by Luke Matheson just before the half. The defence kept the game close until the second quarter when Luke simmonds returned a kickoff for a 70-yard touchdown. The broncos Qb, Chase Henning, connected for three passing touchdowns with Dylan eugster in the second half, sealing the win for the broncos. The team plays its first playoff game next weekend in Kelowna. The salmon Arm peewee Colts continued to prove their strength in the league in Kelowna, where they went head to head against the Kelowna riders. The Colts attacked quickly with sam Hall showing his amazing agility and running in the first of his three touchdowns, with a 40-yard run. running back ryan berke notched two and quarterback vaughn McManamna scored a touchdown. The Colts’ offence proved to be too much to handle for the riders, as the Colts went on to win 39-6 . The Colts defence played well, allowing the fourth-place riders only one touchdown. The offensive player of the game was sam Hall, defensive player of the game was braidy Parkes and the top lineman of the game was earned by Carter billey. The Colts finish the regular season in second place only one game behind the undefeated Kelowna Lions. Playoffs start next sunday at Little Mountain Field with the Colts taking on the West Kelowna red blacks.

Joseph Jones scored a pair of his own, his first of the game putting the Samurais up by two with less than five minutes played in the first. Gabriel Niewenhuizen put the Samurais up by three early in the second before Vernon scored one of their own in an attempt to set up the comeback. Taylor Sanford quashed any thought of that however, popping in a rebound just six minutes later to regain their three goal lead heading into the third

Silverbacks unsure on Maruya’s return Continued from A19 the power play against Trail, and now hold the third best power play in the league, at 27.59 per cent. With five minutes left in the first period, a fight broke out between the Silverbacks Taylor Maruya and Trail’s Harlan Orr. Maruya lost his helmet at the beginning of the altercation, and in a split second was wrestled down, and hit his head on the ice. “It was a very scary incident, we are just glad it was not worse,” says Silverbacks head coach Brandon West. Tyrol Deeg, the ’Backs trainer was quickly by Maruya’s side, while Maruya was
lying on the ice. With the help of Deeg, Bryden Marsh and Thomas Plese, Maruya was able to laboriously leave the ice, noticeably shaken. Maruya did not return to the game, due to a mild concussion. In the Second period, ’Backs defenceman, Bennett Morrison coughed up the puck in the slot to former Silverback, Connor Brown-Maloski, who made no mistake beating Zach Dyment. In similar fashion to the first period, the Silverbacks answered back with a goal of their own, only 38 seconds after Trail’s, restoring their two-goal lead. Captain, Bryden
Marsh scored his fourth of the season and Hirose scored his second of the game and sixth of the season to round out the second period. The Silverbacks ran into penalty trouble in the third period, and successfully killed off a minute long five-onthree. Just as the first penalty ended, Trail found the back of the net to cut Salmon Arm’s lead to three. Salmon Arm would finish the game off with an empty net goal, the final score 7-4. For the second Sunday in a row the ’Backs played a matinee game, hosting the Penticton Vees, at the Shaw Centre. Angus Redmond and
the Vee’s net minder, Brendan Barry, were undoubtably the best players for both teams making many big game saves. In the dying minutes of the game Penticton would add an empty net goal to put the game out of reach for the Silverbacks, winning 3-1. Only two points separate the bottom of the Interior Division and second place, the Silverbacks now boast six wins, six losses, and two overtime losses. “In our locker room and offices we are not satisfied with where we are, but we are still competitive in our division, which is important,” West said. The Silverbacks will play the first game of a
home-and-home series at the Shaw Centre on Friday, Oct. 31 against the West Kelowna Warriors. The two teams have not yet met in the regular season, but played two pre-season games, resulting in a tie and a dramatic Silverbacks overtime winner scored by Taylor Maruya. “They are a very good team with a lot of experience, we will just have to make the most of the chances we get.” It is still unknown whether or not Maruya will return to action on Friday. “Taylor is doing fine, we are just taking it day by day with him, he doesn’t have any pain which is positive,” said West.

Bantam, peewee ’Tips win thrillers Bantam tier two Silvertips faced off against the Penticton junior Vees last Saturday, Oct. 25. The Scotiabank ’Tips jumped out to an early three-nothing lead in the first period. In a wild turn of events the first period ended deadlocked at four. The second period was not as goal-laden as the first with Penticton scoring the only goal for the 5-4 lead, heading into the third. The ’Tips gritty work along the boards was rewarded with a tying goal six-and-ahalf minutes into the final frame. The intensity of the game increased and the play really opened up.
The final 10 minutes of the game was a nail biter, with both teams trading goals back and forth. The Silvertips prevailed and won the game 7-6, with scoring coming from Aaron Plessis and Michael Kormany with two goals each, single goals from Tyler Chartier and Trent Thompson and the game winner from Brayden Haskell. Salmon Arm Bantam tier two Silvertips remain undefeated at 5-0, as they head into games against Trail this weekend.
Pee wee
The Podollan Inn peewee tier two Silvertips welcomed Vernon
to the Shaw Centre last Sunday, defeating the visitors by a score of 7-6. Colby Feist of the ’Tips opened the scoring and went on to net a natural hat trick, scoring all three goals in the first six minutes of the game. Leyton Boyd would score a high-floating shot past the Vernon netminder with three minutes left in the first. Vernon clawed back with a pair of goals late in the opening frame, giving the ’Tips a two goal lead heading into the first intermission. Ty Bailey out-waited the Vernon goaltender early in the second, roofing the puck after the rebound from a Blake McBeth rocket
that found its way to his stick. Vernon refused to quit and knotted it at five a few minutes later, but Feist’s fourth of the afternoon would put Salmon Arm up by one heading into the third. The teams seemed destined for overtime when Vernon tied it up with six minutes left in the game, but Malcolm Petty knocked in a rebound on the power play to seal the victory for the Silvertips. Vernon pressed hard to tie it up when they pulled their goalie with a minute left in the game, but to no avail. “Everyone put out a sound effort today. We passed the puck and really worked as a team,”
Ice Breakers skate to personal bests The Salmon Arm Ice Breakers speed skaters won a combined total of 12 medals at the Big Chill short-track speed skating competition held last Saturday in Kamloops. Making their first appearance at a speed skating competition in their rookie season were Bronson Jameus, and brothers Bradley and Daniel Hlina. Jameus won three first-place medals and
one third-place medal in his distances in his division. The Hlina brothers also reached the podium multiple times. Daniel skated to three first-place finishes and one third-place medal. Bradley placed third three times, and also had a second-place finish. Despite falling in his first race, Bradley got back up on his skates and still man-
aged to place third. Returning club members, Jack Verdurmen, Shan Chhokar, and Robyn Webb all set personal bests intheir efforts. Both Verdurmen and Chhokar got personal bests in the 400-metre, 200 m, and 500 m distances, even breaking personal bests they set earlier in the competition. Webb, who started with the club half-way
through the season last January, got personal best times in the 200 m, 400 m and 500 m distances but had a fall in his last race of the day. Alex Seal rounded off the masters entry, and had his work cut out for him as he competed with the 16-year -old skaters. The next competition for the Ice Brakers is on Saturday Dec. 6, in Kelowna.
said Silvertips defenceman Blake McBeth of the win. The ’Tips host their home tournament this weekend.

Straight from TIFF to Salmon Arm It’s time to reel in your tickets for the Shuswap Film Society’s film festival. The Reel Weekend Film Festival runs from Nov. 7 to 9 at the Salmar Classic and features six exceptional films, hot off the Toronto International Film Festival circuit. • Pride – Friday at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Based on a true story, the politics of the Welsh miners’ strike of 1984-1985 versus Thatcher‘s politics form the backdrop to this film. A small community-based London gay and lesbian organization publicly supports and raises money to help one small Welsh town whose menfolk have been out of work for a long time. There is humour, panoramic Welsh landscapes, close harmonic singing, superb acting and even suspense, in this inspiring movie. • Attila Marcel – Saturday at 10:30 a.m., Sunday at 7:30 p.m. – By the same director of The Triplets of Belleville, this charming, witty romance, features Paul, a sweet man-child, raised by his two eccentric aunts in Paris after the death of his parents when he was a toddler. Now 33, he still does not speak. Paul’s aunts have only one dream for him: to win piano competitions. He practises dutifully but remains unfulfilled until his neighbour intervenes with a concoc-
tion that unlocks repressed memories from his childhood. Filmed with great humour and imaginative quirkiness. • Force Majeure – Saturday at 1:30 p.m., Sunday at 3:30 p.m. – A Swedish family travels to the French Alps for a few days of fine skiing. The sun is shining, the slopes spectacular, until an avalanche turns everything upside down. With diners fleeing in all directions, the mother Ebba calls out for her husband Tomas to help protect their children. Meanwhile Tomas is running for his life. The anticipated disaster fails to occur, yet the family’s world has been shaken to its core. • Monsoon – Saturday at 3:45 – Part road movie, part spectacle, part drama, the documentary Monsoon is directed by Sturla Gunnarsson, one of Canada’s most prolific and eclectic filmmakers. It’s his meditation on chaos, creation and faith set in the land of believers. The subject is the monsoon, the vast weather system that permeates and unifies the varied cultures of India, shaping the conditions of existence for its billion inhabitants. • Whiplash – Saturday at 7:30 p.m. – A promising young drummer, Andrew, enrolls at a cutthroat music conservatory where an instructor, Terence Fletcher, who will stop at nothing to realize a student’s potential,

Christian singer-songwriter Dan Bremnes is coming home. Bremnes, who grew up in Salmon Arm, is thriving in Nashville, where he now lives and where he has signed a record deal with Capitol Records. “I started working with a producer in Nashville about 18 months ago; he liked what I did and he is a well-known producer,” says Bremnes, noting the collaboration grew into meetings with just about every record label in town. “Capitol Records fit. It was a special moment for me, coming from a small town.” Bremnes was offered the deal with Capitol a year ago but it was in the hands of the lawyers until August when it was signed, a move that has brought stability to Bremnes and his family.
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Gospel: Dan Bremnes brings his music home to Salmon Arm on Nov. 3. Over the past year, he has written about 100 songs, work that will be whittled down to about 12 songs that are produced. Five of them have already been selected and released on a CD.
“I will be bringing it to Salmon Arm; that’s the only way you can get it,” he laughs. “Capitol won’t release it to iTunes until the new year.” Bremnes has also signed a publishing deal with Capitol so his songs can be pitched to other people. After he left Salmon Arm, Bremnes spent a year in Kelowna before heading out on the road, touring Canada, New Zealand and Australia. With an ever-deepening faith, Bremnes has chosen to continue his journey in the gospel music genre. Currently on-tour stateside, Bremnes will appear in Salmon Arm at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3 at Shuswap Community Church, 3151 6th Ave. NE. Admission is $10 online at www.danbremnes. com, or $12 at the door.

Members of the community are invited to attend the local poppy campaign kick-off at the legion at 11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 30. Poppies will be avail-
able at local businesses from Oct. 31 to Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. The poppy campaign is one of the Royal Canadian Legion’s most important programs and the only national appeal the legion makes for funds. All of the funds collected through the
campaign remain in the community and are used to support needy veterans, local charities, youth organizations and numerous other worthwhile projects. “The campaign is called the Poppy Remembrance Campaign and we put the emphasis on remembrance,” says legion member Harry
Welton. “Remember, well over 100,000 young Canadians gave their lives so you can enjoy the freedom you have today. They did not get a chance at tomorrow so you could.” Everyone is invited to attend the annual Remembrance Day service at the Salmon Arm Cenotaph on Nov. 11.

Pie attracts Food Network show By Evan Buhler OBSERVER STAFF
This past weekend, the Shuswap Pie Company was packed and busy turning out pie after pie, despite being closed. The small restaurant on Alexander Street was transformed into a TV set for Food Network Canada’s hit TV show You Gotta Eat Here!, which wrapped up two days of filming at the Pie Company over the weekend. “The pie here is unbelievable. The strawberry rhubarb pie is so perfect that when you’re on your last bite it makes you want to cry because there won’t be any more pie left,” laughs host of the show, John Catucci. The show follows Catucci around Canada, on his quest for the most delicious comfort food
that made restaurants famous in their area. Filming at the Pie Company is for the fourth season of the show that will begin in the new year. Catucci applauds the Pie Company for focusing solely on pies, and says it has paid off. “They have really hit the nail on the head with both their sweet and savoury pies,” he says. “The dough is out of this world, it’s so flaky and light, but it still holds up and keeps everything together.” He says of the savoury pies that he sampled, the sausage apple sage was his favourite. “On a chilly and rainy fall day in Salmon Arm, the sausage apple sage pie was perfect, because it’s so hearty it really warms you up.” Catucci says he samples great food around

buzz around the Shuswap Pie Company made the filming memorable. “The show is about food, but what really makes the show for me is the people I meet, and seeing the connection that the restaurant has within the community,” says Catucci.

DUBITZ, STEVEN CONSTANTINE April 26, 1943 - October 22, 2014 Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heartbroken to announce the death of our deeply beloved husband, father and brother, Steven Constantine Dubitz. Steve was predeceased by his parents: Constantine and Hannah (Aulin) Dubitz, and nephew David Becker. He is survived by his wife, Mary Dalgarno-Dubitz, daughter Kristel (Dave) Dubitz, sister Maxine (Dennis) Mucha, sisters-in-law Betty (Dale) Becker, Eileen (George Carlin) Boscher, numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Steve was born in Kamloops. His working career started when he was young, shoveling sawdust, wheat and numerous other tasks for his dad.  As a teenager he worked summers taking tourists out for trail rides at Saratoga Resort. In his late teens and early twenties he worked on a paving crew for Dawson Construction. He and his father started their own general contracting company, Stecon Contractors Ltd. Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backhoe, heading to or from a job, was a familiar site on the back roads. Although Chase was his home base, he worked throughout the province blasting and setting power poles, changing rails or ties for the railroad, installing waterlines and septic systems within the region. No job was too big or too small.  Steve loved to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rattle a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, in other words, he was a tease - but in a kindly manner. The one who received the brunt of this razzing was his sister Maxine. In 1986 Steve and Mary met, fell head over heels in love and were married. In 1988 they were blessed with their beautiful â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gift from Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the apple of Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye, his daughter Kristel. Anyone who knew him knows how proud he was of her. Steve was an avid reader and prospector, in his younger days he loved to have the odd sociable. Steve lived life exactly as he wanted - he had an indomitable spirit and a zest for life that ensured most who came into contact with him walked away feeling uplifted. He was renowned for his smile, kind-heartedness and love of all creatures. He was a strong, gentle man who strove to make everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day a little brighter. He was never impressed by the amount of money a person had, but rather by the strength of their character - as a result, he has friends too numerous to count.  A memorial and celebration of Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at the Chase Community Hall on Friday, November 7th at 11:00 am. Online condolences may be sent through Stevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Service, Salmon Arm, BC.
