Commission censures Sasseville
Sturgis North: Former motorcycle rally promoter faces sanctions for investment violations. By Martha Wickett OBSeRVeR STAFF
Ray Sasseville, who headed the 2011 Sturgis north motorcycle rally and music festival in Salmon Arm, is in trouble with the Bc Securities commission. The commission issued a news release June 4 announcing that Raymond Michael Roger Sasseville, edith Marie Sasseville and Richard Keller illegally distributed securities of a company named Wireless Wizard Technologies Inc. (WWTI) in 2007 and 2008. A commission panel found that WWTI and Keller distributed a convertible debenture to an investor (known as ‘Investor A’) for total proceeds of $10,000 “without being registered, without a prospectus, and for which no exemptions were available.” The panel also found that WWTI, Ray
Sasseville and Keller illegally distributed securities by distributing a convertible debenture to an investor (known as ‘Investor B’) for total proceeds of uS$47,500. edith and Ray Sasseville were also found to have breached securities law by authorizing, permitting and acquiescing in the distribution of the WWTI convertible debentures to Investor A and Investor B. All three defendants are B.c. residents, and none have ever been registered to sell securities under the Securities Act. WWTI’s purported business was to develop and market a global positioning system (GPS) for motorcycles, and a wireless technology for conducting sales via text message. The company has never filed a prospectus in B.c. Although the panel considered other allegations prior to dec. 18, 2007, it found

them “to be outside of the allowable limitation period under the Securities Act.” The act states that proceedings can’t begin more than six years after the date of the events. The original allegations included the period from May 2007 to January 2008, and involved eight investors and a total of $162,500. The parties involved will make submissions to the Bc Securities commission regarding sanctions on June 26 and July 10. A decision will be made sometime after July 17. Sanctions generally take the form of a monetary penalty or a ban from trading or being involved in securities markets in B.c. In 2003, Ray Sasseville also faced allegations of illegal distribution of securities, See Sturgis North on page A2

City’s RCMP detachment gets new leader Policing: Officers continue to target drug-related offences in region. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Two top cops addressed Salmon Arm council Monday. Sgt. Andrew Hunter, who has been filling two roles as acting detachment commander and operations commander, provided the year’s first-quarter statistics to council. Hunter also introduced Sgt. Scott West, who is leaving the Sicamous detachment and will be taking over as Salmon Arm’s new detachment commander, tentatively on June 22. West said he’s had diverse experience in his career, which has included nearby postings in Kelowna and Kamloops as well as farther north. His roles have included special sections work, with a focus on preventing undesirables from inhabiting the community. He said it’s key to quickly identify who’s carrying out crimes and to deal with them as speedily as possible. Central to his philos-
ophy, he said, is listening to the community. “What’s important to them is important to me. That’s my philosophy.” West said he and his spouse and two children live in Salmon Arm, where he’s been drawn in to coaching and referee roles. Once West takes over as detachment commander, Hunter will be devoting all his time to his job as operations commander. Regarding statistics, Hunter said there’s been an overall decrease in offences compared to the first quarter of 2014. He noted that drug investigations, however, have increased. That’s due to ongoing work by plainclothes officers who continue to target all new and known drug dealers, always recommending charges to Crown counsel. Hunter said a couple of days prior to the council meeting, officers intercepted a dealer with six grams of methamphetamine with a street value of $2,500.
“Not only have we sent him packing, he won’t be back here other than court.” Also included in the statistics, along with meth, cocaine and heroin, are marijuana possession and trafficking. “Marijuana is still classified as a Scheduled 2 narcotic under the Controlled Drug and Substance Act and we will continue to enforce the law and investigate marijuana cases,” Hunter said, noting pot investigations often lead to property crimes and other hard drugs. Coun. Kevin Flynn asked about an increase in sexual assaults. “Those involve youths and dating relationships but due to their ages that’s all I can say,” Hunter remarked. There is good news on the staffing front, he said, as by the beginning of July, 21 officers out of a full complement of 24 will be working on the road. The detachment has been plagued by significant vacancies for some time.

“In a short span, the officers from Kitimat, Burns Lake and Grand Forks all sold their houses and the officer posted in Vernon just received his transfer papers. As a result, two of them are here and already working, one starts this week and the last one on June 21. This has made a huge, positive impact on our scheduling and, as a result, we are going into the summer at 80 per cent strength.” Flynn said, in his years on council, having a near-complete complement of officers will be a first. “I hope we can target semi-trucks running our lights,” he said.

Sturgis North debts still outstanding Continued from front but involving a different issuer, A.W. Auto Watch Group Inc., with its head office in Westbank, B.C. At that time Sasseville admitted he illegally raised more than $750,000 from 75 investors between Feb 1998 and December
2001, states a securities commission document. He was ordered to pay $10,000 and was prohibited from acting as a director and officer of any securities issuer, or from engaging in investor relations activities on behalf of any issuer, for a minimum of three years.
As for Sturgis North, although some businesses in Salmon Arm were paid in 2011, the motorcycle rally and music festival left behind debts which are still outstanding. A 2012 Sturgis North event was held near Vernon at the Spallumcheen Motoplex Speedway and
Event Park, and a 2013 festival was proposed for Silvery Beach near Chase, and later Merritt, but was cancelled. A 2014 version of the music festival in Merritt named Sturgis Canada flopped, with Sunday’s lineup refusing to take the stage due to money concerns.

Council supports Montebello Project By Martha Wickett
MARKET NEWS STAff
salmon arm Council received a round of applause from the nearly full gallery monday. the rare appreciation was in response to council’s decision to support haney heritage Village & museum’s application to the Canada 150 Community infrastructure Program. haney is applying for funding for its montebello Project, a 1914 streetscape that will arise from a 6,000 square foot building. the building will include multiple roof lines on store fronts created from photographs of salmon arm’s early days. haney general manager susan mackie, accompanied by board member Doug adams, explained that the montebello building will create a venue for ‘residents’ of the village to go about their daily business – and will look like “several different buildings put together.” services the building will house will include the mcguire general store, the salmon arm observer, Bedford’s Pharmacy, a pool hall and barbershop, ae Palmer Butcher shop, a telephone exchange and miss Puff’s dressmaking shop.
Monday to Friday
Don’t wait a week or more for your compounded medication
the first level of the building will provide much-needed space for artifact collections and archives. the Canada 150 program, marking the country’s 150th anniversary, can provide 50 per cent of the total cost of a project, up to a maximum of $500,000. adams explained the timeline for the applications is short, with the deadline looming on June 17. however, the museum has been working on the project for several months, with preliminary plans and a budget in place, and close to $500,000 in monetary and in-kind donations. Council’s motion stated it would support the application and would proclaim haney’s montebello Project as its Canada 150 cornerstone project. Council also agreed to include in its 2016 budget, building permit-related costs for the project to a maximum of $10,000. Coun. Louise Wallace-richmond had suggested the addition of the word ‘cornerstone’ in the motion so that other groups who are inspired by the museum’s project will go ahead with ones of their own. Councilllors raved about the project and congratulated all those involved for their efforts in creating an important asset for the community.

Surgery wait times to be reduced By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Victoria is coughing up an additional $10 million to increase the number of surgeries in the province, including increasing surgical slates for patients who have waited more than 40 weeks for surgery. “I understand that waiting for surgery is frustrating, and the solution is more than just funding,” said Health Minister Terry Lake in a June 1 Ministry of Health press release. Health authorities will begin increasing surgeries over the summer, and complete up to 1,000 extra surgeries throughout the province from June to August, including orthopaedics, hernias, ear, nose and throat, cataracts and plastics. As well, the province promises to introduce further “increases to capacity” in the fall and continuing through March 2016. It may be a start, but it’s not enough for one Salmon Arm resident. “It’s about time the B.C. government took action to reduce surgical wait times,” says Anne Morris, who has been on the waiting list for a hip replacement since October 2013. “While the extra money will help, it’s only a temporary solution to the problem.” Morris suggests B.C. adopt a system of dedicated clinics for joint replacement surgeries such as Alberta Health
Services provides. “We already have this for cataract surgery. Why not for joint replacements?” she asks. “Ending long surgical wait times would also demonstrate that our public medicare system is working and that B.C. doesn’t need private surgical treatment centres, as advocated by Dr. Brian Day, who was recently elected president of the BC Doctors Association.” While the total number of surgeries done in B.C. has increased 33 per cent over the last 12 years, an unprecedented demand ha caused an increase in wait
times. Health authorities are working with the Ministry of Health on short- and long-term plans that align with this strategy. While the extra money will help, it’s only a temporary solution to the problem.
Anne Morris Salmon arm reSident
In the short term, health authorities will use the additional fund-
ing to add to operating room slates, contracting with private sector surgical sites, or a combination. All surgeries will be publicly funded. “The ministry asked us to put together a plan to address our challenges. We have done so, and have submitted it to the Ministry of Health,” said Susan Brown IH vice-president of Acute Services. “I can’t share the details of our plan, or how much funding we anticipate receiving to enact it, until it has been approved… we hope to be in a position to share those actions shortly.”

Confessions of a yes-mom My kids’ social life is far superior to mine. And am I a bad parent for getting tired of it? It’s not that I’m upset that they have friends or participate in activities, but I’m starting to think I need a cruise director to point my ship in the right direction. Take Saturday, for example. Here’s the timeline: 9:30 a.m. – Be at Little Mountain Fields for oldest child’s soccer game. 10:45 a.m. – Leave that field with twins in tow to get to youngest daughter’s game at the Jackson field for the 11 a.m. start. (Fortunately relying on the kindness of a friend to bring oldest daughter back down to Jackson field after her game finishes at 11 a.m.) 11 a.m. – Start of the youngest daughter’s Go-Go Green Goblin’s soccer game. Noon – Start of son’s soccer game, while simultaneously needing to drive the Green Goblin to Ranchero for a birthday party with a noon start time. 12:15-ish – Drive back to Jackson field to watch end of son’s game, which winds up on the hour. 1 p.m. – Soccer ends, haul two out of three kids home and feed them… something... before needing to make a potluck dish. 2:30 p.m. – Drop son off at the home of son’s friend who is having a gymnastics birthday party at 3 p.m, so they can drive him to the party. 2:50 p.m. – Go pick up youngest daughter in Ranchero, turn around and take the (hopefully now made) potluck dish to Canoe Beach for the oldest daughter’s Salmon Arm Ice Breakers Speed Skating Club picnic and awards. 3:30 p.m. – Pass out in lawn chair, while hoping to ingest some food myself. 4:45 p.m. – Drive to gymnastics party to pick up son for 5 p.m. end time. Thankfully, I have kind friends who are willing to pitch in by juggling start times and driving, or my best-laid plans would fall to pieces. Add to this the list of items I need to bring for the day which includes water bottles, sunscreen, hats, shin guards, bathing suits, multiple clothing changes, snacks, lawn chairs, blankets, presents for the two birthday children, some kind of potluck dish – which may well turn out to be an Askew’s fruit tray – soccer cleats, running shoes, a sun umbrella, towels. I’m sure I’m forgetting something. The mini-van may collapse under the strain. Instead of a yes-man, I’m part of another tribe – the yesmom. Sometimes I feel so caught up in giving my kids everything that I end up frazzled, stressed and prone to bouts of snappishness. Why do modern moms feel so compelled to agree to everything? Maybe its time to learn to use a different word – no.

Editorial
Share feedback on boat ban Not surprisingly, a proposal to ban motorized boats from portions of the Shuswap River has generated considerable discussion. After all, exploring the river is a tradition for tourists, Shuswap residents and many buyers specifically invested in property along the river so they can pursue recreational activities. So any suggestion that motorized boats will be restricted between south Mabel Lake upstream to Shuswap Falls and from Trinity Valley Road upstream to the eastern end of Skookumchuk Rapid Park was expected to draw opposition. However, there are others in the community who are adamant that boats should be gone because of possible erosion, impact to salmon spawning grounds and safety issues between
motorized boats and other recreational users. An open house will be held at the Enderby Drill Hall tonight from 5 to 7:30 p.m. and there will be one at the Mabel Lake Community Hall (Lumby end) tomorrow from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Surveys can also be completed online at www. rdno.ca/boating and they will be mailed to property owners adjoining the river in the affected areas. Only by hearing from both sides can RDNO officials decide whether the proposal should be forwarded as is to Transport Canada, amended or scrapped altogether. We would encourage all residents and users of the Shuswap River to become actively involved and have their say. -Vernon Morning Star

Most people keep their ignorance to themselves. “That was the past, get over it.” I hate to point it out but these are not the opinions of some bygone era. These are attitudes held by some people, most who won’t admit it, in the here and now. Present and but a scratch below a thin layer of political correctness that covers our daily discourse. “Why won’t those Indians just put the past behind them, get a job, and start contributing to society?” I write it again, because it struck me as amazing. This is what was said to me by someone I chatted with a few weeks ago who, frankly, should know better. An educated, employed, successful member of Chilliwack society. He used the term “Indians,” even. Lots of people do. No, he wasn’t talking about people from India. I asked. But the fellow I was talking to suggested that when talking about our local Sto:lo population, he prefers “Indian” over “native” or “aboriginal.” And don’t even start him on the political manipulation behind the term “First Nations.” “Don’t talk about Indians to this guy,” he joked as others joined us in the public setting where our conversation took place. Laughs. Apparently, I’ve learned, it is political correctness run amok when people suggest an objectively inaccurate term is just weird to use. “You know where India is, right?” I asked the aforementioned fellow. No comment. “OK, you know the ‘Indians’ in this country have endured an attempted cultural genocide, right?” I pushed.
Get over it, was the response. Start paying some taxes. I almost hate to write these words because they are true. Today many local Sto:lo folks are likely grappling with Justice Murray Sinclair’s report, its 94 recommendations, something that invariably will dig up the terrible wounds of what was endured at residential schools by parents grandparents and great-grandparents. The ignorance and hatred that led to a cultural genocide, a government-church led systematic “killing the Indian in the child” is done. It’s gone from our churches. It’s gone from our cultural institutions. It’s gone from our government. But the sentiment does remain, if below the surface, that aboriginals should just snub out the last remnants of that language, drop the cultural practices, forget the drumming and the hunting and the fishing and the rest of it, and just be more like us. Why can’t you be more like “us”? There is, among us mostly white settlers, a belligerent sense of entitlement, but even more so a disregard for any expression of culture from those who were here before us. “Political correctness” is a false label for what is simply correctness. The guy I was talking to says the term First Nations is politically correct “crap” and he refuses to use it. Fine, but it also just happens to be correct. These “nations” of people were here “first.” Now that the TRC report is out, it’s really time to get our collective white heads out of our asses, acknowledge the horrible truth that some of our ancestors took part in or at least acquiesced to, and reconcile. This doesn’t mean saying “we are sorry you are upset” one more time. This means starting a process whereby individuals like the one I quoted above are forced to learn some history. Learn how children were stolen from their parents as government policy. “Cultural genocide is the destruction of those structures and practices that allow the group to continue as a group” This is big stuff, and it’s been buried for too long. What we should not do is let the ignorance of the “be more like us” sentiment carry on. Those today who are blind to history and what went on with the Indian School Act need to open their eyes.
Caleb Gubbels “To go visit my cousins’ house and play.”
Katie Jacobs “Swimming in the pool.”
Take a second chance Looking back 500plus years we discover the root of our problems today. “In 1452, Pope Nicholas V issued to King Alfonso V of Portugal the bull Romanus Pontifex, declaring war against all non-Christians throughout the world, and specifically sanctioning and promoting the conquest, colonization, and exploitation of non-Christian nations and their territories.” This probably seemed like an innocent, “Bull” until we examine it carefully. I doubt he realized it, but in practice, it is sanctioning stealing and killing. Apparently that was no obstacle for the Pope and, to this day, it doesn’t seem to be bothering
very many Canadians. But it should, because we are still practising it in one way or another. With this in his back pocket, King George 3rd issued a proclamation in 1763. In 1764 it became the Treaty of Niagara. The indigenous people issued a Wampum belt to express their understanding of what they basically agreed to: • Share the land. • There be an equal amount of money for housing, health, and education. • There would be a sharing of any profit made from developing resources. • Two row Wampum belt, which pictures two nations, travelling down the river of life, neither interfering in any way
with the other. On June 2, TRC chair justice Murray Sinclair presented 94 recommendations to the government of Canada. I don’t see anything in either of these documents which most Canadians wouldn’t want for themselves. So let us get rid of the Doctrine of Discovery legislation, and adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Then we can build Canada a second time, on a just foundation where there is a levelplaying field for everyone, this time employing circle thinking, rather than straight-line thinking.

Other types of ticks pose risks Your article on ticks was well done. You might want to add an update. We recently had an American dog tick, dermacentor variabilis, on us. They are found most often east of the Rocky Mountains, generally in the central part of the U.S., but have been found as far north
as Canada. Their peak feeding season stretches from mid-April to early September. In search of food, these ticks are drawn to the scent of dogs and they will commonly lay in wait in well-travelled trails where it is easiest for mammals to traverse. It does not carry
Lyme disease but does carry Rocky Mountain spotted fever (can cause serious damage to your internal organs such as kidneys and heart), tularemia (potentially fatal) and can cause canine tick paralysis if attached to neck or near the animal’s spine.

Earning France’s highest honour Second World War: Phillip Wragg, 96, recognized for D-Day service. by barb brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Seventy-one years ago, Phillip Wragg was standing on a dyke in Holland when the Second World War ended. “They came along and said ‘it’s all over boys,’” says the 96-year-old veteran who remembers people cheering and a feeling of profound relief. “We could go home now.” “He was looking forward to getting home after being away for five years,” says Wragg’s wife Nikki, who planned a large celebration so family and friends could be on hand at the legion last Friday to see her husband receive the Légion d’honneur from the French government. Wragg has been recognized for his participation in Operation Overlord, the Allied Forces effort that united tens of thousands of troops and played a pivotal part in ending the war. After six days at sea, on June 6, 1944, members of the Royal Regina Rifles were lowered into landing craft and deposited on Normandy Beach. They were among the first units to land in Normandy and “The Johns,” as they were known, faced fierce resistance. “Phil kept saying the sky was black and I said ‘how come,’” reveals Nikki. “It was 8 in the morning and he said it was the planes – the sky was black with them.”
The next day, with the in the U.K. during their years occupation of Brettevilleof training, a time when he was L’Orgueilleuse, they became also able to re-connect with the first regiment to reach and British relatives. hold its final D-Day objective. “Those were my last happy Wragg saw plenty of frontmemories before I went into line action as the Rifles fought action.” their way through France, HolWhile fellow soldiers became land and Germany, and was brothers, Wragg says there was hospitalized for battle fatigue fear in forming friendships bePhillip Wragg and a shrapnel wound from an cause the risk of being killed AwArded Legion was enormous. enemy mortar. d’honneur “We just dug a hole about Wragg returned to Saskatchtwo feet so two men could sit ewan in 1945 and worked with in it when there was heavy shelling,” he his dad for three years as a butcher.

Groups unite in effort to purchase rail lands Three organizations have banded together in an effort to turn the old rail line from Sicamous to an area four kilometres south of Enderby into a recreational trail. The Splatsin First Nation, Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), and the Regional District of
North Okanagan (RDNO) have approved a memorandum of understanding regarding pursuit of the acquisition of the Canadian Pacific-owned Okanagan Shuswap Railway. This will be the foundation for collaboration for the proposed acquisition
of the Okanagan Shuswap railway. Chief Wayne Christian says the memorandum of understanding and the opportunity to work together in pursuing the Okanagan Shuswap Railway will promote communication and strengthen relationships be-
tween their respective communities and residents. “We need to work together to invest in the region for all our people and our collective future,” he says. CSRD Board Chair Rhona Martin said she, too, is excited about the partnership.
“This is a big step forward and I very much look forward to working with Splatsin and RDNO as this initiative is explored,” she said. “I hope this is the beginning of a long and successful working relationship between our communities.”
Splatsin noted the community had successfully negotiated with CP Rail to acquire 11.7 hectares of the discontinued railway corridor between Sicamous and Armstrong in 2014. This includes a 1.5-km section south of Sicamous along the shores of Mara Lake.

YOUR
Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s a wonderful week to connect with family and friends from far and wide as you talk, text, tweet, publish and post up a storm. Others are looking to you to come up with some smart solutions so put on your thinking cap Rams. And don’t stick with stale old ways of doing things … try to come up with some exciting and innovative new ideas. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Brains and beauty are a winning combination for Bulls this week as you come up with a clever idea, pamper yourself in style, beautify your living space, solve a domestic issue or patch up a disagreement with a family member. It’s also time to boost your self-esteem, tap into your talents and believe in yourself! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The last three weeks have been particularly tricky for Twins as Mercury [your ruling planet] has been reversing through your sign [a real doublewhammy]. Thank goodness Mercury moves forwards this week so - from Friday onwards - things should start to run more smoothly in the areas of your life involving cars, computers, communication and travel. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Resist the temptation to retreat into your Crab cave [and be moody and mysterious] in order to cover up your emotional insecurities. Clear and honest communication [with yourself and loved ones] will get you a lot further than sulky behaviour. Venus and Jupiter encourage you to boost your spirits with delicious homecooked meals and some indulgent body pampering. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t be a lazy Lion … make sure you capitalise on this week’s lucky stars Cats! With Venus and Jupiter visiting your sign [and Uranus revving up energy levels] confidence is the buzz word ATM. So it’s time to display your talents, and shine for the whole world to see. The positive stars also promise convivial conversations and exciting connections. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Progress at school or work has been slow over the last three weeks but that’s about to change, as Mercury moves forwards. So make sure you are prepared to pounce when circumstances alter from Friday onwards. Activities involving communication, cars and computers should all improve as you gradually get your

Sudoku
Virgo mojo back in spades! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Uranus fires up your relationship zone so expect the unexpected. If you are attached, your partner could surprise you with an unusual proposal or an incredibly hair-brained scheme. Single Librans – it’s time to look for love with someone who is charming, clever, unconventional and way outside your comfort zone. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tuesday is terrific for creative projects and community connections. But, over the last three weeks, joint finances have been stretched, close relationships tested and loyalties questioned. Fortunately that’s all about to change, as Mercury moves forwards again. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have partnership problems been testing your limited patience? Calm is about to be restored to your relationship universe, as Mercury [planet of communication] moves forwards [from Friday onwards] in your relating zone. Which means you’ve still got four days when you can all-too-easily put your foot in your mouth and upset loved ones! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The next four days is the time to review your regular routines, so you find which ones still work – and which ones need to be turfed from your timetable for good. Plus keep yourself mentally strong, so you can bounce back from inevitable delays and disappointments that come along. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are you ready to jump out of a rut Aquarius? Seek out fresh experiences and innovative information this week. Monday through until Thursday is the time to review your friendships. Some require extra nurturing – while others have passed their used-by date, and need to be replaced with new pals who are creative, positive and proactive. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When it comes to a complicated family issue, it’s been one step forwards and two steps back. Get ready to take a giant leap forwards later in the week, as Mercury starts moving things in a positive new direction. Strive to be 100% honest with family and friends, and keep them up-to-date with your current plans. The more creative and proactive your approach with loved ones, the better the weekend will be.

Plans proceed after seven-year delay By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
A rezoning proposal in Canoe that went to public hearing in 2008 has been given final approval by a majority of city council. Two councillors, Louise Wallace Richmond and Tim Lavery, were alone in voting against final reading at council’s May 25 meeting. The rezoning affects .4 hectares at 7200 52nd NE, fronting 52nd and 53rd streets NE in Canoe. It changes the zoning from R-1, single family residential, to R-4, medium density residential. Although the original 2008 application also included an official community plan (OCP) amendment from low density residential to medium
density residential, that amendment is no longer required because the city’s OCP was updated in 2011 and the property in question was redesignated medium density residential. Also being requested was an OCP amendment to have an east-to-west sidewalk through the property. The 2008 application from J. Pannu and Plett Homes & Developments Inc., represented by Cal Harvey, was to accommodate a subdivision of 12 bareland strata lots. Wallace Richmond said she would like to see another public hearing on the application because the people who would be affected by the development have changed substantially from seven years ago.
“My sincere preference would be that the neighbourhood get the opportunity to go back to public hearing so they could just be aware of the situation…,” she said. “It’s not that I’m against it… I think it would come as a great surprise to neighbours and residents.” Carl Bannister, the city’s chief administrative officer, said council would need to vote against final reading, make a separate motion to rescind third reading and then go
back to public hearing. Couns. Kevin Flynn, Alan Harrison and Ken Jamieson said they understand WallaceRichmond’s concerns, but particularly now that the proposal is consistent with the OCP, they thought another public hearing would not be necessary. Harrison noted the biggest concern he heard at the 2008 hearing was that people didn’t want mobile homes. He said the developer has agreed mobile homes won’t
be part of the development. City staff explained the developer has registered a covenant that prohibits modular homes. It’s expected the property will be divided into eight to 10 lots. Mayor Nancy Cooper also voted in favour. Coun. Tim Lavery said his thinking is similar to Wallace Richmond’s so he would vote against final reading. Coun. Chad Eliason was absent.

A sucker with a message Schools: Diabetic students raise cash, awareness. By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
It was a sweet way to share a tough message – diabetes sucks. A group of School District #83 students with type 1 diabetes decided to raise both money and awareness of their disease with the sale of red heart lollipops, also known as suckers, to their fellow students. Students Owen Webster, Claire Wuschke and Jacob Denty, along with Kristen Webster, are selling the donated suckers at lunchtime with the money to be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. “Diabetes is a pain in the butt,” said Owen, who was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was eight-years-old. It’s awkward, you know, stabbing your finger and drawing blood. People think your weird, insane. A lot of people don’t understand.
Owen Webster SHUSWAP MIDDLE STUDENT Type 1 diabetes is chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone needed to allow sugar to enter cells to produce energy. This means the person must closely monitor their blood sugar levels and supplement with insulin either from a pump or injection. The idea for the fundraiser was sparked when the school district facilitated a youth group meeting for students with diabetes in the district. “It started when one of the students mentioned they did not know another person close to their age who has type 1 diabetes,” said Val Edgell, principal of Parkview El-
ementary. The students had time to meet and share their experiences, both good and bad, and plan to meet again. To Owen and Claire, raising awareness was as important as raising funds. Claire speaks of how her type 1 diabetes has set her apart at school. “I have to test my blood sugar levels three to eight times a day,” she says, “If I’m low, I have to leave what I’m doing, get a juice and re-test.” Low blood sugar makes Claire shaky and it cane difficult to concentrate. Owen notes the constant monitoring can be tough. “It’s awkward, you know, stabbing your finger and drawing blood. People think your weird, insane. A lot of people don’t understand.” He describes how people sometimes treat him like he is contagious. Then there’s also misconceptions about the disease. For example, many people think diabetics can’t have any sugar, which is not true. “We need sugar, so it’s not out of line for us to have something like a sucker,” says Claire. Another misconcep-

Showing some heart: Shuswap Middle School student Kristen Webster, whose brother has Type 1 diabetes, samples a sucker for the Diabetes Sucks campaign to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. tion is that the students have an unhealthy lifestyle and have contributed to their own illness. This can be from confusion about the two types of diabetes. Unlike people with type 1 diabetes, the bodies of people with type 2 diabetes make insulin. But either their pancreas does not make enough insulin or

the body cannot use the insulin well enough. The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown, but genetics may play a role in this process, and exposure to certain environmental factors, such as viruses, may trigger the disease. “It would be better if people got it more,” Owen said.

Study looks to benefit palliative patients Social work: Appointment time becomes arduous. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
When social worker Merel Voth undertook a rural palliative care study in 2013, she expected people to complain there are not enough specialists in Salmon Arm. “Instead, people were saying ‘I love Salmon Arm and I like that my doctor comes here on his lunch and he knows me by name,’” Voth says. “People know their pharmacists, the community care nurses are awesome and people were really so grateful for what we do have – even people in Blind Bay and they don’t get the services we get in Salmon Arm.” A UBC grad student and an Interior Health social worker at the time, Voth wanted to know about the quality of life and care from the perspective of patients living in the Shuswap. The study, which included in-depth work with seven individuals, began in October 2013 and ended in November 2014. “People wanted to be as independent as possible through the whole process – to garden, or
curl or whatever – lifegiving activities…” she says. “When someone is ill, medical appointments become a full-time job, often for patient and caregiver, who then don’t have time for these life-giving activities. Lots of people identified their disease as ‘it,’ while their identity was still grounded in who they were – not their disease,” Voth says. People wanted to be as independent as possible through the whole process – to garden, or curl or whatever – life-giving activities…
Merel Voth Social Worker “One of the primary struggles for participants was the overwhelming amount of appointments that they had to attend. For example, it was not uncommon for participants to have three to five medical appointments per week,” she says. “This ranged from diagnostic ap-

pointments, specialist appointments, regular family doctor appointment, treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.” Voth says participants found it exhausting and suggested their quality of life and quality of care would greatly improve if medical treatment was more coordinated. The study formed part of the requirements of Voth’s masters thesis and doctors on her UBC thesis committee want to un-
dertake a bigger study to find out where costeffective changes can be made to simplify palliative-care patients’ lives. As well,they are hoping to present the study to a rural health care conference. Voth says her study received very positive reviews and she is submitting a manuscript to a social work journal.

Open for interpretation By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Salmon Arm is home to one of the province’s premier migratory estuaries and the nesting home to the remarkable western grebe. Walking and wildlife viewing trails stretch east and west from the wharf at Marine Park, which is also home to the Brighouse Nature Centre. Thanks to a $6,000 grant from the City of Salmon Arm, the interpretive centre will now be open seven days a week. Two knowledgeable and hilarious young men – Aidan Sparks and Ryon Ready, will be onsite to answer questions and to occasionally lead walking tours on the trails. Visitors are invited to view a wealth of wildlife exhibits, learn about the local ecology, see a DVD of dancing grebes and pick up educational pamphlets. “If you’d like to

Ready and Sparks are equally enthusiastic about a large scrapbook containing information and big photos on the resident birds. “It’s a good learning tool,” says Sparks of the book lovingly crafted by longtime SABNES member and interpretive centre advisor Tom Brighouse.

“I have to do things because I’ve been retired for so long,” responds Brighouse. Ready will take visitors on tours of the trail where he will describe the rich ecosystem. The young men will also head out towards the wharf a couple of times a day with a telescope. “We had the grebes dancing yesterday and there was one that put on quite a show for Taiwanese tourists,” says Sparks. Brighouse, a retired principal, continues to teach local elementary
school groups, recently welcoming 80 students on one day and 50 on another. “Beavers – people are nuts about the beavers,” he says. “People are taking photos and videos of beavers coming up with great clumps of mud and plastering their lodges.” A great place to take families, the interpretive centre will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and on Wednesday evenings during summertime Wednesday on the Wharf performances.

Glynis Sim strikes B.C. gold By Martha Wickett OBSerVer STAFF
With gazelle-like leaps and unfailing energy, Salmon Arm Secondary’s Glynis Sim sped to gold in the women’s senior 1,500-metre steeplechase Friday morning at the BC High School Track and Field Championships in Langley. All that training over a beam held up by two sawhorses in her backyard clearly paid off, as did her training with a track club in Vernon. “It was good, I felt pretty comfortable,” she told the Observer Monday – still feeling good, other than her calves being a little sore from wearing spikes. “Most of the race I led and around the last lap I kind of felt more comfortable – I could tell people around me were getting tired.” She wasn’t, however, and completed the threeand three-quarter laps, which each includes four regular hurdles and a water jump, in 5:16.31. “Glynis had an amazing provincials!” said coach Pam Chudiak. “She was very strategic in her races and it paid

Team Tennis has begun in Salmon Arm! The Salmon Arm Tennis Club has two men’s teams and one ladies’ team competing in the Interior this spring/summer with a view to qualifying for the 2015 Provincial Miele Team Championships which will take place in Kelowna Aug. 15/16. Last year, the Ladies’ Team (Loree Boyd, Marietjie du Plessis, Shirley Knorr, Cynthia Langford and Marianne VanBuskirk) won the 2014 Provincials in Whistler. The Salmon Arm ladies will be looking to defend their title. On Sunday, June 7, the ladies team of Boyd, du Plessis, Shannon Hecker, Langford and VanBuskirk won the first qualifier for the Provincials (they will play one more in Summerland on July 12.) Sunday’s match was against Summerland right here in Salmon Arm in the exhausting heat, with the tennis courts registering at least 39 C. The three matches played were all taken by Salmon Arm so the score leading up to the Provincials is 3-0 for Salmon Arm. Individual matches were as follows: Team Slammin’ Arm over Team Summerland: Doubles: Boyd and VanBuskirk won 6-2, 6-3 Doubles: Langford and Hecker won 6-4, 7-5 Singles: du Plessis won 6-3, 7-6 (10-8 tiebreaker).

Carter brings a wealth of junior hockey knowledge to our program and a BCHL Championship with Coquitlam Express of the BCHL in 2014.

He has a lot of connections in the junior hockey circles and will help us bring top-end talent to Salmon Arm.”

Salmon Arm Reds walk away victorious A dramatic last-inning, three-run home run over the right field fence by Dylan Eugster broke a deadlock tie against West Kelowna in last weekend’s game. With the Reds up by three going into the bottom of the last Eugster took the mound to finish it off. With two outs and two runners on, Eugster was pitched out and Colby Heckrodt was handed the ball to finish it off. Four pitches later, a ground ball to Caleb Seyl at second was fielded and the Reds walked off victorious. The boys finished 2-1 in the round robin and now play a rematch against West Kelowna Red Hawks, who they faced in the Salmon Arm tournament a few weeks back for third place. A shout goes out to Connor Kociuba for winning MVP in the first game yesterday. In that contest, West Kelowna came out with hot bats in the first inning taking a quick 4-0 lead but Salmon Arm Reds were not to be outdone and answered back with four runs of their own. Chase Henning came out and took the mound again in the second and shut down West Kelowna. The Reds got another run in the second then handed the ball over to Colby Feist. West Kelowna battled hard but was shut down by Feist and the Reds defence in the third and fourth. The Reds were up 8-4 going into the open inning and Feist returned to the mound to close it out. West Kelowna fought but was only able to score one run. The Reds walked off the field victorious placing third in the tournament. Feist earned a well-deserved MVP for his stellar pitching. A fantastic performance by the entire team made for a successful weekend.

Relay For Life recognizes super heroes By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
This Saturday, hunderds of people will lace up their shoes and walk the track at Elk’s Park to honour those who have cancer and remember those who have died. For the first time in its 12-year history in Salmon Arm, Relay For Life will be held from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. at Elk’s Park. “There are mixed reviews,” says co-ordinator Jen Dies. “A lot of the teams that have been around for many years are quite happy with the change, but others have said they’ll miss the symbolism of the overnight journey.” Twenty-seven teams have registered this year – one team more than last year. “We’re hoping more
of the general public will drop in during the day.” Dies says the planning committee has done an outstanding job organizing activities that focus on health and wellness. The new Fitness with Local Super Heroes will include piyo, yoga, pilates, general fitness, reflexology, massage, reiki shiatsu, acupressure and skin analysis. Relay starts with a victory lap for survivors and caregivers. “For the second year in a row, we are not going to release balloons,” says Dies. “They will be clumped together and visible as a reminder of why we are there.” Invitations in the form of large tickets were sent to 150 cancer survivors, who, once they have walked the
victory lap, will go to Elk’s Hall for entertainment, luncheon guest speakers, a group photo and to make their own luminaries to put out on the track. The rest of the walkers will warm up with a zumba session before receiving their team batons. Food and refreshments will be available and musical entertainment will help walkers step it up throughout the day, thanks to several local artists. At 8:30 in the evening, the luminary ceremony will begin. Luminaries are placed in memory of people who have died from cancer and in honour of those who are living with the disease. Each team has their own spot on the track so the luminaries are with
their families, friends and teammates. “The luminary ceremony is incredibly important,” Dies says. “Relay is like a blockbuster movie – it makes you laugh, it makes you cry and it gives you hope. And all of that is summed up in the luminary ceremony.” Along with the $5 luminary purchase, Dies asks that people take a donation of a canned good to anchor the luminaries and to be delivered to the Salvation Army Food bank following the event. Closing ceremonies with prizes for the highest fundraisers and the announcement of the total funds raised will begin at 10:30 p.m. And Brenda Kurtz will be on-site for the whole relay. She first walked in a Relay For
Life in Saskatchewan in 2002. “It was the first time I called myself a survivor. I would never have called myself a survivor prior to the survivor lap,” she says, pointing out her diagnosis was made so early, she only required surgery – no chemo or radiation. “There were 300 of us, and it really made a show and an impact on me that I was part of that group. And now I am past my 20 year mark.” A survivor, volunteer and participant in Relay For Life, Kurtz brought relay to Salmon Arm in 2003. It is the inspiration and hope that takes her back time and time again. For more information about this Saturday’s relay, call 250-833-4334.

Jo Steadman, instructor Roxy Roth and Mara Baker sing and play guitar during the year-end recital performance for In the Groove Studio on Friday, June 5 at the Little Mountain Fieldhouse.
Two men, a piano and guitar Piano and classical guitar will take listeners south to the classical flavours of the Caribbean, Mediterranean and south America when Andrew stoney and Jonathan stuchbery perform in concert Thursday, June 18 and Friday, June 19. The concert, bajo la Palmera, is the title of one of the pieces and means “under the palm tree.” “Jonathan is an incredible performer on a very difficult instrument, classical guitar, although he is very modest about his playing abilities,” says stoney, who is music director at st.
Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. “Piano and guitar are two instruments that are usually either solo performers or the accompaniment instrument to another performer.” stoney says the kind of collaborative playing featured in bajo la Palmera is very rewarding. “We understand each other,” he exclaims. “Also there is some incredibly beautiful music written for the ensemble that does not get heard very often.” Well-known for his talented piano playing, stoney heaps ac-
colades on stutchbery. “He is an avid and dedicated performer,” says stoney, noting stutchbery has performed at events for the Governor General of Canada, for theatre productions, and in recital in chamber both in ensembles, and as a soloist. “His roots are in b.C., where he was recently the guest soloist for the okanagan symphony Youth orchestra, and the winner in the senior Guitar category of the Provincial Performing Arts Festival.” The recital programme will feature composers such as
Albeniz, respighi, Giuliani, villa-Lobos, Ponce, CastelnuovoTedesco, barrios and Leo brouwer. A reception will follow the performances which take place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 18 and Friday, June 19 at st. Andrew’s and admission is by donation. “I should mention that I chose st. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church as the recital venue because it has the best acoustics in town, and the piano is in excellent shape while still retaining its old romantic sound from its near 100-yearold soundboard. “
