Boat accident claims life Shuswap lake: Edmonton woman fatally injured by propeller. by lachlan labere OBSeRVeR STAFF

Authorities continue to investigate the death of a 22-year-old Alberta woman who was killed in a boating accident Friday on Shuswap lake. The Bc coroners Service stated Monday, July 13 that Andrea Mary Jacura, 22, of edmonton, Alta., died as a result of severe injuries sustained after she was caught in a houseboat’s propeller while swimming in waters near the popular neilson Beach. “Ms. Jacura had just entered the lake waters in the early afternoon of July 10… when she was caught by a house-

boat propeller. She sustained severe injuries and died at the scene.” Sicamous RcMP const. Pat Pyper said police were notified of the accident when a request for assistance was received at approximately 2:45 p.m. from the Bc Ambulance Service. The Royal canadian Marine Search and Rescue unit in Sicamous also dispatched their marine rescue vehicle to assist, but to no avail. upon arrival, responding emergency service personnel learned the victim had already succumbed to her injuries. “Her left leg was amputated and she had severe trauma to her torso and was

basically deceased at the scene,” reported Pyper. “My understanding is the young girl was behind (the vessel) swimming while the pilot of the boat was trying to dock it on the beach. The boat was put into reverse…, the driver didn’t know they were back there.” eleven people were aboard the houseboat at the time, many of them the woman’s family members. “It’s an unfortunate mishap and a sad, sad thing,” said Pyper. The Sicamous RcMP detachment and the B.c. coroners Service is continuing to investigate.

Victim of ATV crash identified A 22-year-old man who was seriously injured in an ATV accident on July 8 has since died. He was Brandon James Radnai of Mission. On July 8 at 8:45 p.m., the Salmon Arm RcMP responded to an accident involving Radnai and a 54-year-old male family member. The pair were riding the quad when it overturned on a rural Salmon Arm property. Radnai sustained life-threatening injuries and was transported to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops in critical condition. His injuries were not survivable and he died the next day. Salmon Arm RcMP and the Bc coroners Service are continuing the investigation into the incident.

Witnesses wanted By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

The Independent Investigations Office of BC would like to talk to anyone who witnessed a recent officerinvolved shooting in Salmon Arm. On Saturday, July 4, IIO investigators arrived in Salmon Arm in response to a non-fatal police shooting that occurred the previous day. A suspect in an armed robbery of a Sicamous gas station on July 3 about 5 p.m., fled and is alleged to

have driven to Canoe in a stolen vehicle with Nova Scotia plates, abandoning it in the driveway of a Canoe residence. The vehicle was believed stolen in Saskatchewan. A couple of hours later, police report the suspect was shot by a police dog handler, who was also injured in the confrontation. Both were taken to hospital and the gun-shot injuries, although serious, were not considered life-threatening. Investigators with the police watchdog’s office returned to Sur-

rey late in the evening of Tuesday, July 7 after completing standardized tasks including designating officers, interviewing witnesses, seizing physical evidence and making contact with the affected person. A news release states the IIO believes additional witnesses may have been in the area where the incident took place – in particular, Bernie Road and Highway 1 near Canoe. Anyone with information is asked to call the IIO at 1-855-4468477.

Zone gets reprieve from fire By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Despite recordbreaking high temperatures in the Shuswap, the Salmon Arm Fire Zone has been relatively unscathed by fire. Kayla Pepper, fire information officer, reported Tuesday there are no new active fires in the zone, with a total of five in the mop-up stage and three others in patrol status. Patrol status means the fires are out but crews will return to check the site. “These are all very, very small in size,”

Pepper explained. The most recent and closest fire started on Saturday, July 11 just east of Notch Hill, between Notch Hill and Chase. It grew to 0.1 hectare and is now out. Since April 1, 24 fires have burned in the Salmon Arm zone, covering a total of seven hectares. “That gives you an idea of how small those fires have been,” Pepper said. Of the 24, 15 have been lightning-caused and nine were caused by humans. Along with the re-

cent drop in temperature, the amount of wildfire-related smoke has eased in the Shuswap. On Monday, the Ministry of Environment ended the smoky skies advisory that was issued July 7. “The weather system that is moving through the Southern Interior has reduced the amount of smoke carried into the region, resulting in improved air quality,” stated the ministry. “These conditions are expected to continue over the next few days.”

Cigar boats spark concern

Shuswap Lake: Residents upset about safety, noise. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Cherilyn Drew enjoys summertime getaways to her cabin on Shuswap Lake north of Herald Park. While she’s happy the lake gives enjoyment to so many, she is alarmed and frustrated by what she says is an increasing number of powerful boats. “I am really noticing more cigar boats on the lake this year – several times a day and it concerns me safety wise,” Drew says. “They’re frightening and I don’t see how they can exist with other activities on the lake.” Drew says prior to this year, she has seen the occasional cigar boat travelling primarily along the south side of the lake. Friends who have a cabin on Anstey Arm have complained they are also seeing many more and their neighbour advised the boats have been banned from Okanagan Lake. “They’re starting to come up the middle of the lake and they’re super loud, like a plane,” Drew says. “And they’re travelling really close to you so there is

no way they could react to a small boat or a kayak.” Drew recounts a rescue she and her brother undertook in Blind Bay when a Rotary exchange student was injured by a boat propeller while she was swimming beyond the buoys. She says it took just 30 seconds to a minute

Notes

Trees to be replaced Trees were in focus when city council approved a development permit application Monday night for a residential/commercial development next to the Prestige Harbourfront Resort at 131 Harbourfront Dr. NE. One topic of concern for residents when the development was first proposed in 2008 and again this year is the fate of the willow trees that border the property and the waterfront walkway. Council adopted a motion requiring a covenant be registered on the property that would restrict the removal of a willow tree unless it is replaced with a suitable tree species. In addition, the approved landscaping plan requires the planting of more than 70 trees on the site, not including replacement of the 13 willows.

Firing doesn’t sit well The provincial government’s controversial removal of Richard Bullock as chair of the Agricultural Land Commission prompted a “fruitful” discussion by the city’s Agricultural Advisory Committee, committee chair Coun. Ken Jamieson reported to council. “The general feelings throughout the community – there’s some low level unhappiness and a couple of members who are really, really perturbed by it all.” Bullock reportedly alleged he was fired by the province because they wanted him out of the way while they implement changes to how agricultural land is preserved.

Cycling successes The city’s Greenways Liaison Committee earned kudos from city council for its work on planning and creating trails. Coun. Chad Eliason pointed to the more than 700 entrants in the Salty Dog bike races as well as the upcoming Singletrack 6 event that was attracted to the area’s trail system. Even the bike racks around the city contribute to its popularity as a place to live and visit, he said, which in turn brings monetary benefits. “So we’re now seeing the intangible becoming tangible.”

Real estate market hits eight-year high The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board says sales activity in June was the strongest in eight years. According to OMREB, sales overall were up five per cent from the same month last year and the housing market has shown an eight per cent improvement year-to-date compared to the same six-month period in 2014. The real estate board credited the B.C. economy, which it says is currently the best performing in the country with population growth, reinvigorated consumer confidence and pent-up demand key drivers of the real estate market as it bounces back to 2007 sales levels in most areas of the province. “Strong consumer demand in the OkanaganShuswap has pushed home sales to an eight-year high and reduced days to sell to 72 days on average compared to 94 last year at this time,” said Christopher Miller, OMREB president.

Children have returned to school, families can now shelter from the monsoons. The determination and resourcefulness of two Salmon Arm men is paying off in a Nepal village – but there’s still much to do. Riley Boudreau and Isaiah Houle began raising funds to support a village in Nepal following the destructive earthquakes in April of this year. The idea was sparked after Boudreau travelled to Nepal last year with Students Leading Initiatives for Change, where he helped in an orphanage and explored the country. There he was overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of the Nepalese people, particularly by his guide Ram Timalsina. “Hearing how much they’re in need, having had my experience with them, there’s no way I couldn’t help – knowing they would have done this for me, 10fold over.” Similarly Houle, a close friend of Boudreau’s, was speaking to a friend in Kelowna right after the earthquake who kept expressing her sadness about the devastation in Nepal. Frustrated because he was unable to do anything other than sympathize, Houle contacted Boudreau and suggested they help. The two young men got busy, working around the clock to raise funds and organize support. They began with Timalsina’s village district, Khari – one of the small high mountain villages, as non-governmental organizations tend to focus on the higher-density populations. To ensure that any money donated was used for exactly what it was intended, Boudreau enlisted two other cherished and trusted friends in Nepal to help oversee the project along with Timalsina – Ravi Chaudhary, who

guided him through the jungle, and Krishna Raj Adhikary, who owns a hotel Boudreau’s group stayed in. Since then Naren Sharma, a Nepalese doctor, has joined their team. Operating under the name ‘Stand With Nepal,’ Boudreau and Houle, with their counterparts in Nepal, have already facilitated the rebuilding of 55 houses and three schools, as well as administering food and medicine to an area of 900 families. So far they have raised $5,700 just through donations from Salmon Arm. “It’s really good since we have no administrative fees and the team over there is volunteer. Every dollar we raise

goes directly to them. And they know where to buy everything so cheap,” Boudreau says. Exacerbating the difficulties left by the earthquake is the monsoon season, which will carry on through August. Boudreau points to a photo of an elderly women who is living in a lean-to covered by a sheet of plastic. “That shelter is what separates her from the worse storm we’ve ever experienced here.” The young men note the scope of the project has expanded with its success. They have 33 more houses and two more schools to rebuild before completing their initial goal of rebuilding the village district. Three other villages have been identified as

Discomfort at the tap There’s an old saying that when the water hole shrinks, the animals look at each other differently. This is certainly the case in B.C., particularly in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island, where drought conditions and subsequent tightening water restrictions have neighbours policing each other for water use. Today, Friday, July 10, the sky is overcast and it looks like rain is on the way. That’s what I call a win-win-win. All of the province could use a solid week or so of rain, to help ease the battle against the numerous wildfires and provide a much needed replenishing of water reserves. It might also help stem the flow of ‘drought shaming’ – a public humiliation via the Internet of water abusers – that has generated a wave of debate on the West Coast. Many are shaming the B.C. government for moving ahead with the Water Sustainability Act and a pricing structure that would see private companies pay a paltry $2.25 per million litres of extracted groundwater (which we, in turn, can pay buy back at $1 per 500 millilitres). That is $2.25 more than what companies currently pay. But still. Folks have also taken to making an example of their neighbourhood water abusers – those who feel their watering needs take precedent over pesky restrictions. While some choose to shame abusers via Twitter and social media, others are reporting those abusers to local municipalities, which in turn pay a visit to said abusers and issue a warning or a fine. This phenomenon is currently the subject of debate on the Internet, with people questioning whether or not it’s right to “snitch” on your neighbours. Some argue people should attempt to communicate with their water-abusing neighbours instead of reporting them, claiming the snitch approach further degrades sense of community. If said abusers had community in mind, I’d expect there wouldn’t be a need to report them. Furthermore, if abusers are knowingly bucking watering restrictions, it’s unlikely they’ll be positively receptive to interference from their nosy waterwise neighbours. As for municipalities doing the enforcement, they should be grateful for the neighbourhood watch. Lack of enforcement ability is a common criticism among municipal councils when contemplating regulation. Thankfully, there does not yet appear to be a need for tightened water restrictions in the Shuswap. There are water restrictions in place for Salmon Arm and Sicamous, and people, for the most part, appear to be following them. Hopefully this reflects not only respect for community, but also the fact water, even in B.C., is a finite resource that cannot be taken for granted.

Editorial

Boats overpower lake users No matter what you are doing, there always seems to be those people who need to take it to the extreme. And so it goes with the boats on Shuswap Lake. Each year it seems the number of exceedingly noisy, powerful high-speed cigar and wake boats increases. But what has remained unchanged are the regulations governing boating on the lake. There are no rules on the size, horsepower or speed on the lake. The sole exception is a speed limit in place at the Cinnemousun Narrows. Okanagan Lake has a ban on cigar boats, which can be in excess of 32-feet long with high speed power and the associated noise,

often compared to a jet engine. While residents and tourists are accustomed to the noise produced by speedboats and jet skis, the cigar and wake boats are so ear-splitting it brings up the question whether the owners are more interested in the boat’s “look-atme” factor than any type of enjoyment of the Shuswap’s natural beauty. But more than the noise, the high speeds these boats can attain mean they are also a greater safety concern than other types of watercraft. It might well be time for the Shuswap to consider a boat ban as well. Cigar boat owners are the few and they can dampen the enjoyment of the many lake users.

View Point

Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, July 15, 2015

www.saobserver.net A7

The Observer asked: Do you think the type and speed of motorboats on Shuswap Lake should be regulated?

Jason Bellows “No. There should be some kind of annual user pass to help enforce the lake, which it desperately needs.”

Scott McDonald “Yes, it can get down right ridiculous out there, and I’m a boat owner.”

Alan Harrison “Yes, everyone deserves to enjoy a peaceful time out on the lake.”

Jason Miller “Yes absolutely. Safety should be more important than horsepower.”

Shantelle Bayers “Yeah, I think so, but more so for speed because there are many large houseboats on the lake.”

Is the province’s LNG Not the place for fireworks industry for real? BC VIEWS

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25-year project agreement for the first large-scale liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead. With billions invested in upstream resources and buyers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei. The most contentious issue is the government’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists these sorts of long-term cost certainty agreements are commonplace, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations. Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital cost allowances that were recently extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls subsidies to fossil fuels. Both the province and Ottawa allow capital cost write-offs against corporate tax, to attract investment. B.C. attracted a lot of gas drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drilling. The B.C. government invited comparisons with Western Australia LNG producers, and NDP researchers did just that. They noted that Australia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local employment and local suppliers will get preference.

Those are absent in B.C., along with apprenticeship guarantees for LNG. “There was hard bargaining by the companies, and certainly the premier went into this negotiation in a very weak position, having to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said. “The companies did well. Whether the citizens of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.” Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver painted himself into a corner, having spent the last two years dismissing the B.C. LNG industry as a fantasy that will never come to pass, strictly on economic grounds. He has since branded the Petronas deal, a template for any future projects, a “generational sellout.” Another big player with gas well investments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade. It’s important to remember that without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private investment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects. De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.” At peak construction, Pacific Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands. The finance ministry forecasts that once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry.

The five people who were asked in the July 8 Observer’s question of the week whether Salmon Arm should have Canada Day fireworks all agreed we should have fireworks on Canada Day. Several years ago we did have Canada Day fireworks in Salmon Arm Bay and they were fantastic! However, there was a problem. Salmon

Arm Bay is a bird sanctuary and the fireworks during the nesting season disturbed the nesting birds. The yellow-headed blackbirds which were nesting along the foreshore never returned to their nests after the fireworks that year. Many naturalists were afraid yearly fireworks on July 1 would disturb the Western Grebes

nesting in the bay. This year, it would have been dangerous to have fireworks on land on July 1 because of the wildfire danger. So let us continue to enjoy the wonderful Children’s Festival here on July 1 and let us go to Sicamous or Sorrento if we want to enjoy fireworks. John Henderson

Explosives have toxic fall-out The Myth of the Phoenix “The Phoenix was a brightly-coloured, longlived bird that repeatedly died in a show of flames and combustion, only to rise again and be re-born from its own ashes. It was adopted as a symbol of death and rebirth that seemed to resonate with humankind’s aspirations of regeneration and immortality.” It does seem to ‘resonate’ with local ‘aspirations’ to

‘regenerate’ fireworks in Salmon Arm – sometimes in Observer editorials, and most recently in a weekly people-on-the-street question, where opinion on fireworks ‘re-birth’ was posed. (Not surprisingly, those asked were unanimously in favour of their return.) So, sadly, in this ‘greenera’, we seek to celebrate the Fireworks Phoenix, complete with its colourful, air and water-polluting,

wildlife-disturbing show of heavy-metal fall-out, reborn from those barium, strontium, cadmium, magnesium, titanium, aluminum and copper toxic ashes ! Myths, apparently, are important – even if our understanding of, and harmony with, the health of natural ecological processes – our own included – unfortunately, is not. Tom Crowley

Playing a Conservative shell game Reading the claims of our Conservative government always reminds me of something my father used to say: “Figures don’t lie, but liars often figure.” This was brought home to me yet again reading Colin Mayes’ latest defence of Harper economics: that the government is deserving of re-election because it had managed to grow the economy while cutting carbon emissions, and would continue to do so. While I don’t doubt the latter (given half a chance, they will continue to outsource our jobs to Asian sweatshops) I

don’t agree with the math and, more importantly, don’t believe we can keep on doing it. It’s not just our forests that are burning. The only reason our emissions have dropped is that we no longer count them. The resources go elsewhere by ‘rip and ship’ and their use is not counted as our carbon. What we buy elsewhere takes carbon, but we don’t count that either, even though it wouldn’t be made or shipped if we weren’t here to consume. Our GDP continues to grow because we count as GDP anything we buy. A computer or cellphone made in China but

sold here counts as a greater contribution to our GDP than it does to that of China. The government prints the money, we borrow it, we pretend to pay, and others pretend to be paid. It is unsustainable because the others are now demanding, as part of the various trade deals Harper is negotiating, to be paid: we must give up any right to control anything we have left. We have maxed out our credit cards. Our mess of pottage is almost gone. Then what? ‘Custom like ours they can find anywhere.’ Richard Smiley

Sockeye salmon in hot water By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Dangerously hot water temperatures in the Fraser River, combined with low river flows and unusually warm ocean conditions, are conspiring to create a dire outlook for returning sockeye salmon. And that could mean people will not be fishing at all for the roughly 6.8 million sockeye projected to be on their way back to the Fraser to spawn – easily enough for what should have been a decent season. “What’s going on now is not good and I don’t anticipate it being good in August,” said Mike Lapointe, chief biologist for the Pacific Salmon Commission. “But it’s just a matter of waiting to see where the indicators are at that time and making the decisions based on the evidence we have. I think the observed data is going to be pretty extreme.” He said it’s “certainly possible” that sockeye fisheries will be se-

verely curtailed or even cancelled altogether because a large proportion of the run may not survive to reach the spawning grounds. A record low snowpack in the mountains this year has meant what little snow was in the alpine has melted off sooner than usual, leaving less to keep stream and river levels up and their temperatures down later in the summer. Fraser River temperatures at Hope have already gone over 19 degrees in recent days, Lapointe said, when the norm at this time of year is less than 15 degrees. “It’s extremely warm,” he said, adding the lower water flows compound the problem. “It’s like a bathtub. If you don’t have a lot of water in it, it’s really sensitive to the temperatures around.” High temperatures of 19 or 20 and higher can be deadly for salmon, which face more stress in their migration upriver to spawn, and they may also be more susceptible to disease.

Salmon run: Large numbers of salmon made their return to the Adams River in 2014, but high temperatures may reduce the number of fish that make it back to the spawning grounds this year. “As soon as they start to reach these temperatures they’re just not as efficient at migrating,” Lapointe said. “It becomes harder for the fish to do the work they need to do.” Lapointe is also concerned the warm river temperatures are becoming a trend. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Aaron Hill fears the river conditions will only deteriorate.

“The low water and high temperatures are combining to create lethal water conditions for salmon,” Hill said. “Unless we get some rain it’s just going to get worse and worse through the summer.” He’s urging fishery managers not to authorize aggressive fisheries this year in order to put as many sockeye on the spawning grounds as possible to ensure conservation of weak stocks.

Leon loses assembly bid By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF

Former Adams Lake Indian Band Chief Nelson Leon was not successful in his bid for leadership of the BC Assembly of First Nations. Elected to the position was Chief Shane Gottfriedson who comes from Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc, formerly known as the Kamloops Indian Band.

Gottfriedson was elected BC Regional Chief on the first ballot, gathering 55 per cent of the vote. Leon was one of four people vying for the position. A news release notes that Chief Gottfriedson has served as the Tribal Chief for the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council, which concentrates on advancing Aboriginal rights and title by fo-

states he is also known as a strong advocate for the Douglas Reserve land claim and Indian Residential Day Scholars’ class action suit. In addition, he has served on the Chief’s Governance Council, the Aboriginal Business Investment Council, Minister Polak’s Roundtable on Environment and the First Nations Gaming Commission.

Police say dropped cell phone involved in crash The driver of a Mustang managed to walk away with minor injuries after crashing into a pole and needing the jaws of life to free him from the wreck. Emergency crews were called out to the 6800 block of Old Kamloops Road in Vernon Wednesday after a white, two-door Mustang struck a pole. “The driver was unable to exit the vehicle, his right foot was trapped,” said Gord Molendyk,

RCMP spokesperson. The driver, from Salmon Arm, and passenger, of Kelowna, suffered non-life threatening injuries, despite extensive front-end damage to the vehicle. A violation ticket was issued for driving without reasonable consideration, which carries a $196 fine. “There are claims they looked down to look for a phone which had fallen on the floor,” said Molendyk.

Putting recyclables in their place CSRD: New program audits waste. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Temperatures aren’t the only things that have been soaring this summer. Bill’s Bottle Depot is having issues keeping up with increased volumes of recycling materials brought about by the influx of tourists. Ben Van Nostrand, Columbia Shuswap Regional District Environment Health team leader, says some of the problems are caused by out-of-towners who are not familiar with the changes brought about when Materials Management BC took over Jan. 1. Those changes included the need to sort recyclables and the end of overnight dropoffs, restricting them to regular operating hours, which are Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. “We are getting a fair bit of dumping after hours; we experienced those kinds of challenges in January – it was a bit of a learning curve,” says Van Nostrand. “It was going pretty well until the summer rush, so it seems we’re needing to re-educate people who are not aware of the changes.” Van Nostrand says CSRD is working with MMBC to increase the number of hauls and is trying to improve signage and provide the level of service people have come to rely on. As an alternative, Van Nostrand suggests people can also take their recyclables to the Salmon Arm Landfill seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “It takes everything that can go into the MMBC program, “ he says. “But they don’t take electronics, paints or the bottles that Bill’s Bottles does.” Van Nostrand says money is being assigned to the budget for a permanent household hazardous waste program that he hopes will open in 2016. The MMBC program

has also meant changes to municipal curbside recycling so the regional district and the City of Salmon Arm are collaborating on a summer-long blue-bag audit to make sure people are setting out the right items. Laura Noakes, an engineering assistant with the city, says, for the most part, residents are complying. We have recently seen an increase in the number of bag rejections overall...

Laura Noakes City of Salmon arm “We have recently seen an increase in the number of bag rejections overall due to plastic bags, Styrofoam and glass, with plastic bags making up over 70 per cent of rejections,” says Noakes, noting the items must be taken to Bill’s Bottle Depot or the landfill. “This suggests that residents now know these items can be recycled, but are confused about where the items go.” Noakes say many people are also unaware

they can put empty aerosol cans – hair spray, window cleaner and spray-on deodorant – as long as it is not paint or any other toxic material. Trent and Lynelle Blumenthal are parents of four young boys in Salmon Arm with a strong commitment to reducing waste. When they learned the City of Salmon Arm and the CSRD had created a Recycling Hero Program and were making home visits to help educate families on best recycling practices, they readily signed up. “We do a pretty good job,” says Trent, who assisted with the audit with the help of his sons. “But we sometimes have questions about what goes into recycling and what doesn’t.” Volunteer families that sign up receive a waste reduction kit, including a Recycling Hero lawn flag to display, letting your neighbours know you’ve become a Recycling Hero. If your family would like to be featured as a Recycling Hero, contact the City of Salmon Arm at 250-803-4000 or the CSRD at 250833-5936.

Shuswap FC play with heart

Evan BuhlEr/oBSErvEr

Power stance: Seventeen-year-old defensive end Sage King is the first Salmon Arm football player to advance past the first round of cuts for a spot on the U18 B.C. provincial football team.

King eyes spot on Team B.C. By Evan Buhler oBSErvEr STAFF

At its most fundamental level, football is a bunch of sizeable humans trying to knock each other over. The gridiron is no place for the weary, and 17-year-old Sage King has excelled at the sport to which he has devoted half his life. King has gone where no other Salmon Arm minor football player has gone before.

The 6’2”, 220-pound defensive end is knocking on the door of the U18 B.C. provincial football team. He is one of 54 players total to make the latest round of cuts for a spot on the U18 provincial roster. “It has been a long road just to get as far as I have. I think I’ve done exceptionally well so far,” says King. King’s journey for a spot on the U18 roster started in February, at the football combine in Kelowna.

Each region in the province hosted a combine of their own to determine the fitness level of each athlete. Across B.C., approximately 1,000 hopefuls ages 16 and 17 showed off their abilities in the regional combines. “This is where the coaches and scouts weed out a bulk of the players,” notes King. Athletes were selected based on their results in tests including the 40-yard-dash, broad See King on page A14

It was not the tournament the Shuswap FC U18 girls soccer team was looking for in Penticton last weekend. Shuswap FC qualified for the provincial tournament by winning the Thompson okanagan Youth Soccer League Championship against Penticton Pinnacles FC on June 21 in a nail-biting contest. The ToYSL champs were placed in a difficult group alongside the hometown Pinnacles FC, Chilliwack Attack and Coquitlam Metro-Ford Black Ice. Each team played three games in their group, before being seeded for the medal round. After a difficult round robin, Shuswap FC was drawn against the Columbia valley Titans from Invermere. In their final match of the tournament, Shuswap FC’s strikers regained their rhythm from the ToYSL finals and found the back of the net often. In a dominant fashion Shuswap defeated Columbia valley 4-1. The U18 girls put their hearts on the line, knowing this was the last select soccer game for many of them. They had many opportunities, hitting either the crossbar or post a total of nine times. Elena Bruns started the scoring on a pass from Libby olson, followed by Maia McLellan scoring on a power header from an olson corner. Gabby Jackson scored from a scramble in front of the net. Columbia valley responded with a goal from the penalty spot. Kairo Mair finished the scoring for the girls with a long-range blast, earning the consolation victory.

jump, medicine ball toss and shuttle run. Despite his large frame, King notched one of the fastest times in the region in the 40-yard-dash, and placed third in the province in his broad jump. As a standout in the regional combine, King was selected, along with 102 other players, to attend the Team B.C. U18 May Long Weekend Camp, which was held in Richmond. Over the duration of the intensive three-day camp, the players spent 13 hours on the field working on technical fundamentals and strategic drills. “Even though it was only May, it still got really hot really fast in the gear,” says King

laughing. The practices would wrap up around 9:30 p.m. and players would end the day with a bone-chilling ice bath, as King described it. The ice bath helped to reduce swelling, combat the small tears in muscle fibres and ease soreness. On the second evening, the camp hosted a recruiters night, which saw scouts and coaches from the nations top university football programs, including the University of British Columbia, University of Calgary, University of Waterloo and Queen’s University. “There was definitely a lot of hands to shake. It was a great night to get your name out there; the scouts were genuinely interested in getting to know you.” While King is the first player from Salm-

on Arm to make it this deep into cuts, he has remained humble, and is quick to thank everyone who has had a hand in helping him on and off the field. “There have been so many people that have been so great to me; it’s been a real community effort.” Topping King’s list of people to thank are his brother Dylan Leveille, dad Adrian Brooks and past coaches Jordan Grieve, Andrew Van Dokkumburg and Rob Neid. “Sage is a tremendous athlete. He took my athlete fitness class last school year and trains really hard in everything he does,” says Neid. “His hard work has got him this far and should earn him a spot on the team.” King says if it weren’t for his brother, he wouldn’t be playing

football, as he followed in his footsteps. The two brothers train together five days a week in the gym and on the field. “I’m happy to have a part in Sage’s success. I hope he takes it as far as he can, playing at the highest level he can as long as he still loves the game,” says Leveille. There will be another practice scheduled in August and a final practice in December before the final round of cuts. Those that make the roster will travel with the team to Auburn, Wash. to play in the Tanoa Bowl Classic, featuring all-star teams from Washington and Hawaii. “Making it this far – I have surpassed what I thought I could do. I am grateful but not satisfied,” says King.

“I don’t want to give myself false hope and think that I have already made it, so I just have to keep working at it.” Although football is important to King, he also highly values his education. His goal is to score a full-ride scholarship to play football and pursue a career in computer engineering. “I’ve always been a fan of video games and tinkering with computers – it’s something I am very passionate about.” He says making the U18 team would be a vital step in accomplishing his goal as it gives him more exposure to university scouts. “I know what I have to do to accomplish what I want; it’s just a matter of putting in the effort.”

SAMHA receives large donation It was a great day for minor hockey in the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association, and a day many kids say they will never forget. The National Hockey League Players Association Goals and Dreams program made a donation of $50,000, for 25 sets of new hockey equipment, to Salmon Arm, Greater Vernon and West Kelowna Minor Hockey Associations at Kal Beach in Vernon last Friday afternoon. Several current and former NHL players were on hand to assist in the presentations and participate in festivities.

NHL players who grew up playing in the area that participated in the fundraising event included Nashville Predators’ Shea Weber and Cody Franson and Ottawa Senators’ Curtis Lazar. Lazar had nominated Salmon Arm as one of the beneficiaries of the equipment donation. “Many thanks to Curtis Lazar, he was the key guy who named us as beneficiary of this wonderful donation,” said Roy Sakaki, SAMHA administrator. Former NHL goaltender and current Hockey Night in Canada commentator, Kelly Hrudey, was the master of ceremonies.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will surprise – or even shock – others with an unpredictable move that comes right out of left field. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater though! Avoid being bossy mid-week, as you strive to be assertive rather than aggressive. When dealing with a family issue, resist the urge to be hot-headed and jump to hasty conclusions. Cool down and recalibrate. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Close relationships will be difficult regarding communication, cooperation and displays of affection. Get out and about in your local community and contribute your talents. Enjoying good times [and delicious meals] with loved ones is highlighted on the weekend. But don’t be dismayed if a relative divulges something that would be better left unsaid. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Resist the urge to be flash with cash and careless with credit. If your finances are in a mess, then seek the guidance of a professional. Expect plenty of phone calls, emails, snail mail, texts and tweets. You’re hungry for news, gossip and up-to-the-minute information, so phone a friend and have a good long chat. They may have serious issues to discuss.. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You love to feel comfy, and sudden changes can catapult you into a state of catatonia. This week the planets shake up [and then pulverize] your Crab comfort zone – especially involving work matters or relationship issues. With mighty Mars in your sign [until August 9] you need to tune into your bold and daring side – it’s hiding there somewhere! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some Cats start the week with with commotion behind the scenes; while others stir things up in a very public way. But is that really such a smart idea? Disruptive, selfish behaviour will just alienate you from others. Don’t disregard the needs of family, friends and colleagues in the process. Channel your fiery energy into fabulous dreams and flamboyant schemes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The creative gods are on your side and you seem to intuitively know what others require. You’ll feel extremely unsettled mid-week, as trivial matters irritate you – and more important issues get your blood boiling. If you dwell on things too much then you’ll just make giant mountains out of tiny molehills. So calm down, before you blow a fuse!

Sudoku

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You pride yourself on your well-rounded personality but it will be difficult to balance head and heart this week … but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. Loved ones or colleagues will try to throw you off balance; scramble your logic; and press your emotional buttons. But it’s up to you to deflect their efforts with lashings of Libran style. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Power struggles and disagreements are likely unless you can keep your need to be in control under control. Swallow your pride and sort out a problem that’s developed between you and a loved one and let others make their own decisions and mistakes. Your weekend plans are set to be turned upside down, as some surprises get thrown into the mix. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This week the odds aren’t in your favour if you succumb to the urge to bet, buy, spend, splurge and speculate. You could end up being a big financial loser. You’re also keen to help others, and your intentions are certainly well-meaning. Check people actually require your assistance before you jump in and don’t promise more than you can deliver. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have trouble coping with restrictions that are placed on you by loved ones, so family relationships are likely to be unpredictable. But shake-ups needn’t necessarily lead to breakups! Just remember - you can’t be the boss all the time. Calm down and recalibrate. If you are more consultative and democratic, then partnerships will gradually improve. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be careful how you convey your message [especially online] as a fiery hand grenade gets thrown into the social media mix. Take extra care when driving too, as you’re more accident prone than usual. Resist the temptation to spark things up by being contrary and rocking the relationship boat. Find less disruptive ways to add drama to your world. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Monday is the perfect day for some personal pampering. If you are worried about money matters, look for innovative ways to improve your cash flow and boost your bank balance. But avoid discussing finances with a tearaway teenager or a fractious friend. If you do, then expect some heated words as common sense flies out the window.

Complete the grid so every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. (For solution see Today’s Answers in this paper).

Works OBSERVER STAFF

little of this, a soupçon of that; mix well and voila – a delicious recipe. And the magic that creates a great meal can work with music as well. It is the kind of magic Roots and Blues Festival artistic director Peter North had in mind when creating workshops for the annual musical feast. “The workshops will begin Friday this year,” he says, noting that in the past, the festival has begun with entertainment at 6 p.m. on the main stage. “When the gates open at 4, why not give people something to listen to?” Why not Different Shades of Blue at 4:10 p.m. at the Blues Stage with Rocky Lawrence, Red Tail Ring and James Lamb? “It’s not a conventional blues sound, but blues being a feeling and a place where you’re at,” says North, noting Ladies First is a workshop that will run at the same time on the Shade Stage with Kat Danser and Naomi Wachira, a blues and gospel singer/ songwriter. “Naomi is Kenyan, both have big voices and I think they’ll connect.” Another Friday night workshop is Duhk Soup at the Boogie Bar-N, hosted by the Duhks and including J.D. Edwards from the Small Glories and two throat singers from Hanggai. “That’s new to have that in the Barn Friday night, but it will still be high energy,” North promises, pointing out he is also excited about Worlds Collide on Saturday at the Barn Stage, with Hanggai, Amadou Fall Trio and Marco Claveria. “It will basically be them giving us perspective on their respective

musical forms and genres – how they have evolved over the last century and finding common ground so they can interact.” Another interesting brew on the Boogie BarN Stage later in the day will be Oyster Stew, a collaboration by Oysterband, two Duhks, Tony McManus and Tim Chaisson. “I think there’s gonna be a real explosion there; one of the ones where the skill level is so ridiculously high and everyone is on the same page,” North says. And there’s lots of great music on the Blues Stage. Rockin’ with the Highliners will include the Rockin’ Highliners, Kat Danser, Sherman Doucette and Brent Parkin. “In the midst of that whole giant jam will be a tribute to BB King,” says North of the late bluesman. “Brent performed as BB’s opening act and I think we need to stop and think about BB and what he meant.” North believes putting the strong contingency of Winnipeg artists on the same stage will be another winner. Portage and Main will combine the talents of JD Edwards from Small Glories and KD Luft, Leonard Podolak and Jessee Havey from the Duhks, Brent Parkin and Ken McMahon, the drummer from the Rockin’ Highliners “I want them to talk about the great traditions in that Prairie city cause they run back a half century – Lenny Brault through Neil Young and the Guess Who, to Loreena McKeenitt,” he says. “Why has Winnipeg been such a catalyst in the Canadian music scene?”

Africa Smiles promises to be popular with world music fans, a workshop in which N a o mi Watchira and Amadou Falls will explore the traditions of Kenya and West Africa. Writers’ Block participants will explore the challenges singer songwriters deal with at the shade stage – John Oates, Russell DeCarle from Prairie Oyster, Monica Heldel from Norway and Josh Hoyer from Nebraska. “Two of them have had huge hits and the other two are critically acclaimed,” says North. “At the end of the day, it’s all about the song.” One of the hits at last year’s festival was a tribute to Bob Dylan. There will be another one this year with different artists and different Dylan tunes. World music fans can get another fix Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at the Boogie Bar-N Stage with Latin Lovers and Polyrhythmic Panic – all about grooves and music from the equator and south, performed by Tacoy Ryde playing Santana, the Marco Claveria Project doing Afro Cuban music, to Quique Escamilla throwing reggae into the mix. “It is expected that everyone will come together on that one and create one huge band,” says North. An acoustic tribute to the Grateful Dead is on tap Saturday with the Slocan Ramblers and Current Swell, along with San Francisco’s Mark Karan and Jason Crosby from what North describes as the extended Grateful Dead family. The electric tribute will be in Boogie BarN at 4:45 p.m. Sunday, a long one at one hour and 45 minutes, with Brother’s Keeper,

Blending sounds: The Duhks, left, and Current Swell, above, are two of the many acts which will also participate in musical workshops during the 2015 Roots and Blues Festival. Karan and Crosby, Tacoy Ryde and the Royal Southern Brotherhood. “Cyril Neville does some of the best Grateful Dead songs I’ve ever heard,” says North. “What I think we have are people who are very keen to collaborate and who have collaborated before and really capture some lightning-in-a bottle moments.” Saturday’s workshop menu also features a honky-tonk workshop with three “killer country guitar players” – Amos Garret, Wendall Ferguson and Steve Briggs. “It is gonna be hard to know where to go and that’s exactly what you want,” adds North. “I try to make sure if people can’t see someone on one day, they can catch them at a different time the next day.” Overall. North says he thinks the festival features a top-flight group of musicians that cover all the bases. “We have an abundance of emerging artists, plus longtime musicians, and it’s nice to see some of the acts coming out with new albums just as we approach the festival,” North says. “You may not like everything, but you’ll respect that everything is of a really high standard.” For more information and tickets, visit www. rootsandblues.ca.

Concert: Jan Van Gold Band to play Friday, July 17. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Forget the happy pills. The contagious, high energy groove of the Jan Van Gold Band will lift spirits and soothe souls. Stopping at the Wicked Spoon Tap and Grill Friday, July 17 on their “Alive to Thrive” CD Release Tour, the band promises “funkified fusion dripping in guitar, where serpentine phrasing and passionate energy resounds into a wacky dance – with a versatile sound, alt. rock to funk ‘n’ blues with all sounds in between.” From the Kootenays, Van Gold has reorganized her band, which includes J.J. Buttle on

bass and vocals and vocalist/drummer Jerry Hamilton, who played with American bluesman Sonny Rhodes last year. “He’s a great, amazing drummer,” says manager Christine Ott, noting Van Gold has been playing music since she was five, and received a Columbia Basin grant to tour this summer to promote her eighth CD. Van Gold studied music at the University of Regina before moving to Vancouver, where she studied music therapy. She has lived in the Kootenays for the last 24 years and her new CD, Alive to Thrive was recorded live in Cranbrook.

Put your old jeans to a new use By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Grab those old blue jeans you no longer want and head over to the Roots and Blues office on Fifth Avenue. Production manager David Gonella is planning to use them to add shade ambiance to the Blues Stage at the south end of the site. “I want make sure we give patrons a better experience, that’s why I am doing it,” says Gonella, noting the jeans will be hung on lines much like laundry, from about five feet from the stage to about 40 feet back. They will be in rows of staggered heights and will break up the

sun on one of the hottest areas of the field. Shade Sails Canada in Revelstoke is helping out by providing high tension shades made to withstand high winds. “We always have to plan for the worst case scenario and I think they’ll be fun to look at,” says Gonella, noting that after a two-year hiatus from the Roots and Blues Festival, he feels like he’s come home. Changes are also in the works for the children’s area. There will be a smaller area directly next to the festival office with bouncy houses, a crafts tent and a display by Vernon’s Okanagan Science Centre. Children

and their accompanying adults will able to play in shaded sandpits at the shade stage, blues stage and main stage. “Audiences will be able to look right over and see their children from their seats,” Gonella says, pointing out adults won’t have to miss performances in order to let their charges play. In terms of manpower, festival organizers have created efficiencies that will allow them to reduce the number of volunteers required for the three-day musical extravaganza. But volunteer co-ordinator Jeff Topham says he needs about 218 more pairs of helping hands. “We need raffle vol-

unteers, performer transport and people to cover parking and camping,” Topham says. Volunteers are required to work a total of 16 hours, which is broken up into three four-hour shifts during the festival and another four-hour shift for setup the week prior to the festival or tear-down on the Monday after. Volunteers receive a free weekend pass, food vouchers and a popular volunteer party Sunday night, which is attended by some of the performers. Those who would like to volunteer may call 250-833-4096, drop into the office on Fifth Avenue SW or fill out a form online at www.rootsandblues.ca.

Fibre art: Jennifer Gullins knits for the Knitted Tree Project at the Salmon Arm Arts Centre.

Knitting project takes root By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

For most knitters, knitting a tree would seem unusual. But that’s exactly what members of the Odd Socks knitting group is doing and knitters everywhere are invited to knit and purl for the community exhibition that will take place at the Salmon Arm Gallery in October. “A couple of years ago, we started to think that we should create some different challenges to get us thinking in a more creative way,” says gallery assistant and Odd Sock member Diana PrattJohnson. “Something going beyond patterns and yarn bombing, which are cool, but we are in an art gallery and we should be doing something really creative.” Enter Cathi Johnston, a newly retired family life teacher. “She’s an amazing woman and she came into the gallery one day laughing,” says Pratt-Johnson. “She said, ‘I’ve always had a dream of when I retire, I want to knit a tree,’ and that’s how it started.” That was last summer. Art gallery curator Tracey Kutschker was

onboard immediately and provided a deadline by booking the exhibition for October 2015. That gave the Odd Socks a year-and-ahalf to figure out how to knit roots and leaves and create bark. Early participants were given kits with instructions on knitting We have new knitters, experienced knitters, those who are rediscovering knitting and there is a professional knitter taking part as well

Diana Pratt-Johnson ODD SOCKS 25-foot roots. And while the root part of the project is over, people are still welcome to take their roots to the Arts Centre and others are welcome to start a few new roots. More than 200 people from other communities have signed up to take part in the project, with knitters from Jasper, Vancouver, Kamloops and Vernon, Enderby, Pender Island and Clearwater.

Some are busy knitting and felting bark and, during the summer, knitters (including non-experienced knitters like this reporter) are going to knit leaves. “The leaves will be predominantly gold and will be installed up one of the pillars in the gallery and the roots will go all over the floor,” says Pratt-Johnson. “Tracey imagines a tactile experience for gallery visitors, who will be invited to take their shoes off and walk among the roots.” Pratt-Johnson says nobody should be shy about getting involved. The Odd Socks knitters meet at the gallery to knit and enjoy each other’s company Fridays from 1 to 3 p.m. During the summer, the knitters will meet in the shade of the gallery’s beautiful catalpa tree. “We have new knitters, experienced knitters, those who are rediscovering knitting and there is a professional knitter taking part as well,” PrattJohnson says. “She knits 40 hours a week. It’s exciting to see how many people knit.” Anyone who is interested in helping to knit the tree can pick up instructions at the art gallery Tuesday to

Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Intwined Fibre Arts has been promoting the project and owner Althea Mongerson is helping people knit. “Buy the yarn and she’ll help you get started,” Pratt-Johnson says.
