New stores, third Tim Hortons to open
Road rage sparks pedestrian accident
By Martha Wickett
It appears to be a case of road rage gone horribly wrong. Salmon Arm RcMP are investigating an incident where a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle on Aug. 21 at approximately 7:30 p.m. The 30-year-old man was hit by a westbound vehicle on the Trans-canada Highway near 5th Street SW. He was taken to hospital in serious condition and his current condition is not known. Salmon Arm RcMP report the man was driving on lakeshore drive, paralleling a second vehicle that was eastbound on the Trans-canada Highway. The man was reported to be

changes are in the works for the Smartcentres shopping centre in Salmon Arm. A Winners store and a dollarama at the site are getting closer to reality, while a third Salmon Arm Tim Hortons restaurant is projected for late next year. city staff report that a building permit was issued for dollarama on Aug. 17, with a construction value of approximately $1.18 million. Four days later, on Aug. 21, a building permit with a construction value of nearly $3 million was issued for Winners. As for Tim Hortons, Kelly Moores, owner of the two existing Salmon Arm franchises, confirms that the plan is to put a Tim Hortons at Smartcentres likely in October or november of 2016. “Things can change all the time so I wouldn’t say it’s a done deal yet,” he cautioned.
Moores says he predicts it will be a smaller store than the other two, with a double drive-thru, or two lanes of drive thru. “It’ll just offer another alternative for customers on that end of town; because of the closeness to other retail, there will be a lot of evening business.” He noted it will also be closer for people staying in cabins in areas such as the north Shuswap, and will cater to the industrial area on the west side of Salmon Arm. He expects it will employ about the same number of staff as the other two Tim Hortons. “We typically run with 30-plus employees per location.” Sandra Kaiser, vice-president of corporate affairs for Smartcentres, also confirmed a Tim Hortons. “Yes, Tim Hortons along with Winners and dollarama will be tenants on our site. As soon as I have more precise timing of openings, I will let you know,” she stated Monday in an email.

upset after having a horn honked at his vehicle by the driver of the second vehicle. The driver of that second vehicle stopped at 5th Street SW on the Trans-canada Highway. upon seeing the vehicle stopped on the highway, the 30-year-old man stopped on lakeshore drive and got out of his vehicle. Police believe, based on witness accounts, that the man crossed the westbound lane of the highway on foot in an apparent attempt to confront the other driver. While doing so, he was struck by a westbound vehicle. The man was tended to at the scene by Bc Ambulance paramedics before he was transported to Shuswap lake General Hospital.

Homeowner pepper sprayed by suspect RCMP are warning the public not to try and apprehend a suspect after a homeowner was injured in a confrontation. On Aug. 20 at 5:15 a.m., a man was seen lurking in a homeowner’s driveway in the 1600 block of 3rd Street. The man was wearing a balaclava and RCMP report it appeared that he might have been entering vehicles, although his exact intentions are unknown. The homeowner confronted the suspect outside and the suspect sprayed him with bear spray. The spray incapacitated the homeowner, who received medical assistance from B.C. Ambulance Service personnel. Meanwhile, police made patrols for the suspect, but were unsuccessful in locating him. The homeowner was incapacitated for a time, but will likely suffer no long-term repercussions as a result of the spray.
By Tracy Hughes Quick action by the Tappen Sunnybrae Fire Department prevented the loss of a home and shop on Ford Road on Monday evening. At 4:19 p.m., the call came in that a tree had blown onto a hydro line and the resulting sparks ignited a forested area. Seventeen firefighters responded and were able to put water on the blaze right away; however, due to the gusty

The suspect was described as 5-feet, 9-inches tall, weighing approximately 160 lbs. He was wearing a backpack, green T-shirt and blue jeans, with his face concealed by the balaclava. Staff Sgt. Scott West of the Salmon Arm RCMP urges the general public to call 911, and maybe yell at a wouldbe suspect from a safe distance from your home. “Any case where you personally confront a would-be thief and enter into any kind of confrontation could end poorly for the innocent party,” he says. “Again, call 911 and make sure you preserve your safety.” Police also suggest taking all valuables out of your vehicle at night, as even coins in the cup holder could be all the reason a thief needs to target your vehicle. If anyone has information on the crime, call the Salmon Arm RCMP at 250-832-6044, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to leave an anonymous tip.

winds, other fire departments were called as back up. “Then Mother Nature helped us out. Just as we got water on the fire, the wind died down,” says Fire Chief Kyle Schneider. This enabled the firefighters to get a handle on the blaze, and then they dug a fire guard around the nearby home and shop. The fire came within 10 feet of the shop before it was contained.
Firefighters then sprayed the area with a special foam to keep the area moist and help prevent any hot spots from flaring up. The homeowner and his dog were outside the residence when the fire department arrived, but the man was worried for his cats inside. “The firefighters worked their butts off. I’m very impressed… The homeowner sure was lucky,” Schneider says.

Salmon: This year’s sockeye run is not predicted to reach high numbers as it is a nondominant year and hot weather is impacting the health of the fish.
Officials keeping close eye on salmon stocks by barb brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Wildly fluctuating estimates of the summer sockeye run seemed to stabilize last week. As of Friday, Aug. 14, test fishing and DNA evidence used to identify the sockeye’s destination bumped projections up from 1.15 million to 1.5 million. That may not seem like much, but that’s 350,000 fish – about a 30 per cent increase, notes Stu Cartwright, acting area director of federal Fisheries and Oceans Canada for the B.C. Interior. He said test fisheries in marine areas since Aug. 14 have shown steady, decent numbers. “They’re not the numbers that will get us out of the hole and have people doing the happy dance, but we seem to have found a stable area where the run size isn’t going down,” he said, noting estimating returns depends on a number of variables. “We’re not happy; we’d like to see the run back up over the two million range.” Cartwright says some senior Pacific Salmon Commission members are thinking that, based on information gathered from the test fisheries, the timing of the summer stocks may
be as late as two weeks. A test fishery at Johnstone Strait on Aug. 18 indicated between 78 and 81 per cent of the salmon were still summer-run sockeye. Late-run stocks were only making up 11 per cent of sockeye observed in test runs. The Shuswap has a number of sockeye groupings, early summers that head to Scotch Creek and the Seymour River, usually from late July to mid August, followed by another group that comes in from early- to midAugust. The late sockeye run normally begins in late August and continues through September, with the fish heading home to Adams River, Shuswap Lake and Eagle River. Numbers of late-run sockeye are not expected to amount to much this first year after the 2014 dominant run on the Adams River. Meanwhile, the first late summer sockeye reached the Scotch Creek fence on Monday, Aug. 17, eight days after the fence was installed. Fish have been moving through since Monday and some have been observed gathering in big Shuswap Lake off the mouth of Scotch Creek.
Thanks to shorter days and longer nights, water temperatures in the Shuswap were more favourable, having dropped from highs of 18C to a cooler 14 to 16 last week. But water temperatures remained dangerously high on the Fraser River. On Aug. 20, the temperature just above Hope was 19.6C, fully 1.5C above the average historical 18.1 temperature for the date. “The forecast for Fraser River temperatures is to go up slightly,” said Cartwright last Thursday, noting warmer water from the Thompson River was raising temperatures in the Fraser below the confluence by close to one degree. Meanwhile, lower-than-normal water levels are an issue on the Salmon River, where chinook will soon be attempting to find their way to their spawning grounds. The delta branches out instead of flowing through one channel, says Cartwright. Sand and silt fill in and the fish have an almost impossible task of getting over a resulting berm. It’s hoped rains will make this easier when the bulk of the chinook run comes through in September.

Concern: Directors would like Transport Canada’s assistance in slowing cigar boats.
CSRD wants federal help By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
It is the court of last resort, but Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors want staff to pursue the subject of high-powered cigar boats on Shuswap and Mara lakes with Transport Canada. The subject was a late-agenda item at the board’s Aug. 20 onthe-road meeting in Golden. Planner Jan Thingsted described cigarette, cigar boats and wake boats, and advised directors that the regional district has had a notable increase in the number of complaints about cigar boats and races. He said the complaints come primarily from waterfront owners and other lake users in regard to noise and speed. Thingsted said the CSRD had adopted the Shuswap Marine Noise Control Programme in 1982 to control marine noise on specified water bodies in the Shuswap by prohibiting vessels from operating without conventional wet exhaust systems or suitable mufflers. “The enforcement of this bylaw has proven to be very difficult since the CSRD lacks the required technical capability, enforcement capacity and more importantly, the jurisdictional authority,” wrote Thingsted in his report to the board, noting CSRD bylaw enforcement officers don’t have a boat capable of intercepting these boats and have no authority to board vessels for inspection.
Vessel operation restriction regulations (VORR) are a responsibility of Transport Canada and are established under the Canada Shipping Act. Any level of government can request the federal government to restrict the use of vessels on all bodies of water in Canada pertaining to prohibition, engine power or propulsion, speed limits, towing, sporting or recreational activity including wake boat surfing or prohibiting a sporting, recreational or public event or activity. However, “Transport Canada considers VORRs to be the last resort for solving problems and are only to be requested when all other non-regulatory approaches have been tried,” reads Thingsted’s report, noting Transport Canada emphasizes: “Meaningful stakeholder consultation is a key component when pursuing a VORR and must be properly documented to be considered in the application package that Transport Canada reviews.” But, after considerable discussion, board members directed staff to investigate the development of vessel operation restrictions. At Salmon Arm Council’s Aug. 24 meeting, Coun. Chad Eliason, a city representative on the CSRD, was asked about the choice to regulate speed, not sound. Eliason said many other noise generators on the lake would have to be considered, such as houseboats. Coun. Kevin Flynn noted that one cigar
boat is not necessarily a problem, but when four go by at 8 a.m., as he noticed them doing
recently, it’s dangerous, just as vehicles dragracing on the highway are.

Program: Wrapping utility boxes begins.
Cyclocross to go Salmon Arm council has given its unanimous permission for the Shuswap Cycling Club to hold its third annual Shuswap Cross Cyclocross Race in Klahani Park. The event, which is one of eight races in the Interior Cyclocross Series, will take place Oct. 18. Coun. Chad Eliason championed the event, stating where there have been issues in the past, organizers have worked to mitigate them. During one event tire marks were left on a ball diamond but that has since been remedied. Mayor Nancy Cooper noted such events contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
Marina lease four years The city won’t be able to renew its 30-year aquatic lease from the province of the marina and wharf in Salmon Arm Bay for a long term. The lease expires Aug. 31, 2017 and council was informed the province would extend the current lease for only four years. In early 2015, when council asked staff to develop a request for proposals for lease, sub-lease and operation of the marina, it attempted to pro-actively renew the lease for another 30 years. Instead, the fouryear extension will allow five years to offer a sub-lease to the successful proponent. Council members stated they will need to pay attention to the situation. Coun. Kevin Flynn pointed out that as a boater, water levels there are dropping – levels which are being exacerbated by extremely dry weather. “Maybe that’s why they’re only giving us four more years.”
Final approval for daycare City council gave final reading Monday to rezoning of a property at 1170 22 St. NE that will facilitate the creation of a daycare centre. The .19 hectare parcel has been rezoned from R1, single family residential, to C6, touristrecreation commercial zone.

What type of photo really represents Salmon Arm? That’s one of the questions that’s been pondered as the Downtown Salmon Arm board and manager Lindsay Wong decide on how best to adorn three BC Hydro utility boxes. Neighbouring municipalities in the North Okanagan have adopted fruit and other themes to wrap the otherwise plain boxes. For example, apples adorn utility boxes in Kelowna, while Penticton has used historical images on some. Wong came to city council on Monday to request a letter of support from council. She explained permission was requested from BC Hydro to wrap six boxes, as a start to a bigger program, but permission was given for three at this time. Seven of local photographer Victoria Haack’s images have been chosen as possibilities. They include two of farmer’s fields, two of cows, one of a spawning salmon, one a panoramic view of Shuswap Lake and one of a woman with a col-

their support of the plan. Wong will now consult with High Impact Signs regarding which photos will lend themselves best to wrapping. The chosen boxes are by Askew’s Foods at the intersection of Lakeshore and Shuswap, as well as two on Hudson Avenue – one by Shuswap Theatre and the other across the street by the Salmar Grand.

A smorg of a column Some weeks its easy to write a column on a single topic, sort of a full course meal on a single item, but this week is going to be more of a buffet – a little of this and a little of that. I wanted to send a shout out to Christie Fiebelkorn, who was the City of Salmon Arm’s summer bylaw enforcement intern for the second year running. I was driving downtown on Husdon Avenue near the post office the other week and noticed Fiebelkorn, in uniform, enthusiastically pushing a disabled woman in a motorized wheelchair up the sidewalk. It was clear this was a very heavy contraption and apparently the battery power couldn’t cope with the hill. So Fiebelkorn jumped in and pushed the woman’s wheelchair until the battery was recharged. While her term in parking enforcement is now complete, I thought she deserved special recognition. That is not always a pleasant job, and Fiebelkorn took her share of abuse, including being called some of the worst profanity the English language has to offer. No one likes a parking ticket, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to be abusive. In gloomier news on the parking front, the free parking in the lot adjacent to the Salmar Grand Theatre comes to an end at the end of August. This means many downtown employees will go back to playing parking ticket roulette in order to save some cash. Development permits have been issued for the new Winners and Dollarama stores to add to the Smart Centres development adjacent to Wal Mart. While new retail options are appreciated by many, what is with this town and duplication of the retail marketplace? We seem to be overpopulated with dollar stores, spas and pet stores in particular. In my opinion, if someone is looking for a new business venture, what we really need is a shoe store that offers some affordable, quality options for kids. Winners may offer some shoe selection but, in my experience, it’s hit-and-miss on sizes and selection for the younger set. Hauling three kids out of town to buy shoes is not this mom’s favourite thing to do. It appears the Roots & Blues Festival has weathered the worst of a financial storm, having lost money the previous year. The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society came up with quite a few creative ways to cut costs, and reducing the number of stages (and thereby the costs associated with performers, sound equipment, etc.) was a good call. There was still plenty of choice for festival-goers and some people even remarked to me that they found it good to have so many of the performers doing more than one show, because if you missed one performance, you could catch up with another. While the final figures haven’t been compiled, and while Mother Nature was a bit unkind for Friday evening’s attendance, I’m hearing a collective sigh of relief. The show will go on.

Editorial
Keep your cool behind the wheel Be calm and drive on. That common catch phrase should be adapted to all drivers when they get behind the wheel. One cannot help but shake their head at this week’s front page story, where it appears a case of poor anger management resulted in a very serious consequence. A man, apparently frustrated at being honked at by another driver, followed this driver until he saw the vehicle come to a stop. At that point he got out of his car and attempted to cross the busy Trans-Canada Highway on foot for some type of confrontation. It ended badly. The man was struck by
an oncoming car in the westbound lane. While we do not know the man’s exact intentions, we do know this – sparking an angry confrontation with another driver is never a good idea. If there has been some type of egregious driving error that puts others at risk, the best course of action is to make a call to the RCMP. Drivers make mistakes. This can be frustrating to the others who share the road, but this is where a little self-control should come into play. Take a deep breath, mutter a few choice words under your breath if you must, but don’t put yourself or others at risk of harm.

Is the province really burning? Not exactly bC VIeWS
Tom Fletcher On a recent drive through the B.C. Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003. While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people. With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer. You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable. The number of individual fires is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that. Forests Minister Steve Thomson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate naturally. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire suppression, based on viewing Crown forests strictly as a timber resource, helped create conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel more fires. The 2003 fire season set the tone for
political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The opposition points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection. This task has proven impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance continues in Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff. Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appearances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed. (Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.) In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results. In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record. Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow. Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011.

A question of credibility Ray Novak, head of the Prime Minister’s Office, appears to have lied to the RCMP about his knowledge of the $90,000 cheque to pay for Senator Duffy’s questionable expenses. This is the implication of a statement given to the RCMP by UBC professor of law, Ben Perrin, the former legal counsel to the PMO. Since Professor Perrin has now confirmed his police statement under oath in the Ot-
tawa courtroom where the Duffy trial is taking place, there will be renewed demands for the resignation of Novak from the PMO. Despite court testimony and email evidence from the Duffy trial, Prime Minister Stephen Harper continues to assert that Novak did not know. As the second most powerful person in the federal political system, one might think that Ray Novak would
feel duty bound to address the media directly but instead he hides and will not speak for himself. By refusing to remove this dishonest coward from his position of power, the main political issue in this election campaign has become the credibility of the present Prime Minister of Canada – not just the loss of trust in his judgement.

Cigar boats not the problem I agree that cigar boats are not a problem on Shuswap Lake as they create very minimal wake which causes less environmental damage to the shoreline. Also a little common sense needs to be taken when these
boats use the higher speeds. As I see it, the wake board boats are the problem and the wake from these boats is very hard on the shoreline as well as other boaters just floating enjoying the calmness of the lake.
Again, common sense would tell you to boat out in the middle of the lake and avoid other boats that are stationary. Dave Ottenbreit
Tourism needs to be supported I am so glad someone wrote in about the city doing more for tourism; I agree with her comments and would like to add a few more. We have lived here for 10 years and love the area and have been welcomed by the community. I heard we were going to
get a new Visitor information Centre at the entrance of 10th Avenue from the TransCanada Highway. This could include another dump site and a much deserved access to a very nice centre. With this great plan and such a good spot, hopefully the city will get this off the ground very soon.

Delightful summer weather has prevailed during the past week, with daytime temperatures reaching as high at 83 degrees, but the night temperatures show that autumn is just around the corner. In some parts down in the valley, there has been frost, and vegetables have been blackened. Mrs. Greenwood, Broadview Road, returned home on Sunday night by car after spending a holiday at Nakusp. Mr. Ted Greenwood, who drove the car, reports that there are ninety miles of very poor road, narrow in places rough track, and full of tortuous switch backs.

Lieut. (N.S) Audrey Suckling has returned from service overseas as a Canadian Army nurse and is visiting her mother, Mrs. A.P. Suckling. At the Valley Women’s Institute’s annual flower show held last Saturday, Mrs. M. Matson was prevailed upon, at the dinner which preceded the show, to serve the apple pie which won her first place. Modestly she denied possessing any particular pie-making skills, and added that the pie which eventually won the blue ribbon had earlier been refused by the threshing crew, but the editor, who was given the privilege of enjoying a generous slice, attests to the complete lack of judgment, at least when it comes to pies, of the threshing crew, for which he is most grateful.

Lightning struck the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. Herrick, Blind Bay, and started a fire in a radio early last Monday morning. Mrs. Herrick was alone in the house at the time and, hearing a noise in the front room immediately after a peal of thunder, she investigated and found the radio aflame. She managed to extinguish the blaze with a couple of pails of water before any damage was done to the house.

Nathan Pawluck has logged about 30 hours flying time over the past five months though his feet haven’t left the ground. The Shuswap-based photographer/videographer has been capturing the region in one form or another since he started making films as a Salmon Arm Secondary student. But recently he’s taken his craft to new heights through the use of a quadcopter, a DJI Phantom. Using the technology, Pawluck has been able to view and film the Shuswap in a way he’s never done before. “The first day I took it out, I was flying over Shuswap Lake and I was shaking because it was so exciting,” said Pawluck. “The footage coming back was so amazing. My wife was standing beside me and I was like, ‘This is amazing!’” Pawluck has since shared that excitement with thousands of others with a four-minute, 11-second video entitled Soarin’ Over the Shuswap (available on YouTube). The video is a collection of various aerial-shot vistas throughout the area, an homage of sorts for the place Pawluck and many others proudly call home. “I’ve heard stories – people telling me they’ve cried watching it, which is cool to hear…,” said Pawluck. “They’re just so moved that they get to live here, they get to live in the Shuswap, and that they have lived here many years.” Currently, Pawluck is working on extending the video to a 15-minute short, complete with music scored from local talent. His hope is to get it on the big screen in Salmon Arm, like a video art exhibit, free for the public to attend. “We’ll do maybe three to

View from a drone: A view of Mt. Ida and the City of Salmon Arm as captured by Nathan Pawluck’s quadcopter. four nights where we show the video four times a night because it’s 15 minutes, and there’ll maybe be a front-end where I’m explaining how it was shot and maybe showing the drone, not flying, just showing it off and (talking about) kind of my vision and passion behind it…,” said Pawluck, thinking aloud. “And in the lobby we’ll have photos and stills from the drone too.” Not surprisingly, the making of the film has involved a learning curve, both in terms of technical ability and legal understanding. With the former, Pawluck said one thing that’s important to understand – and accept – is the likelihood the quadcopter will crash. “People go into it and they’re very upset when it crashes but it’s going to happen” said Pawluck. “So long as you know that and you’re wise… You’ve got to know your surroundings.” Having a spotter, someone to keep their eyes on the copter, can help to prevent unwanted incidents. “They would be looking to
make sure I’m not going to hit something, so I can focus on what I’m capturing cinematically,” says Pawluck. The legalities of quadcopter use are laid out by Transport Canada. They cover both recreational and commercial users. Pawluck said that initially, he hadn’t considered regulations might exist, as quadcopters are typically marketed for recreational use. “I thought of it more as a toy, which it’s not…, It’s a tool that can be dangerous if not controlled well,” said Pawluck. Liability insurance is one of numerous requirements to fly a quadcopter without permission from Transport Canada. A Special Flight Operations Certificate is required to legally fly a quadcopter weighing more than 35 kilograms. Many of the do’s and don’ts prescribed by Transport Canada revolve around respect and common sense. “With anything, you need to be responsible and wise with it,” says Pawluck of piloting a quadcopter. “I think the problem with people is just be-
cause you can, doesn’t mean you necessarily should with a new toy. “People just need to be responsible and smart, or they’re going to ruin it… for people who actually are using it in a way that it was meant to be used, not to spy on people or disturb fires or to run into things.” Pawluck says he’s planning to seek local sponsorship for Soarin’ Over the Shuswap, with the hope the community will take ownership of it and use it to help promote the region. He knows from how it’s been shared through social media that it has already made inroads in Alberta. “It was shared, which means people reposted it on their Facebook wall to show their friends a thousand times,” said Pawluck. “And most of them said, ‘Hey, look, this is my hometown, this is where I get to live… It’s kind of showing off – telling their Alberta friends. Like some people typed, ‘Hey, my Alberta friends, check this out!’ It’s awesome!”

Liberal candidate for the North Okanagan-Shuswap, Cindy Derkaz, revs up her supporters during the grand opening of her Salmon Arm office in the Old Courthouse building on Wednesday, Aug. 19. Derkaz said more than 14,000 people in the riding are now supporting her run for change, and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau may soon be paying Salmon Arm a visit (with all fingers up) to help with the effort.
Citizens can submit election questions Federal election candidates will need to think on their feet during the salmon Arm All Candidates Forum hosted by the salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce. While each candidate will be given a chance to craft an
opening and closing statement, much of the time will be devoted to public questions that the candidates will not have heard beforehand. That being said, there will not be an open microphone for those in attendance to ask questions; instead,
the chamber is accepting questions from the public. The questions will be compiled into categories and condensed into as succinct a format as possible. The chamber board will review and select the questions based on all
the submissions received. Questions can be submitted online at www.sachamber.bc.ca. The candidates forum will take place on Thursday, sept. 17 at the sAsCU recreation Centre auditorium from 6 to 8 p.m.
You will: • Improve your English while making new friends • Learn more about Canada and Canadian society • Get to know your new community

Food bank seeks harvesting helpers By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Second Harvest Food Bank is looking for some good pickers. With so many people relying on food banks, Second Harvest co-ordinator Diana Mangold doesn’t want to see any fruit or vegetables going to waste. Acknowledging that some service groups are already onboard, Mangold has issued a request for other groups, be they young or not-so-young, to help with this year’s picking until the season ends in October. “If there’s a big group, it only takes an hour to pick instead of two or three or four,” says Mangold, noting Cub Scouts, Brownies, Lady Striders and Rotarians have helped before. “Maybe they’d like to come out as a group one day; everybody who goes out has fun and we have fun and it’s great.” Individual volunteers are welcome as well and are added to a list and contacted by phone

Wanting to do something for the community, one of the care groups at Five Corners Pentecostal Church began growing vegetables for Second Harvest this year on a donated space about 80 by 80 feet.
One of the vendors at the local Farmers’ Market also donates produce at the end of the markets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mangold says the Presbyterian Church and other private individuals have also grown produce for Second Harvest.

Cities celebrate 25 years of sisterhood By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
It’s a relationship that has now encompassed a generation. This year the twinning between Salmon Arm and Inashiki, Japan marks 25 years, with a contingent from Japan visiting the city last week as part of the long-running exchange program. The relationship began in 1989 through the efforts of Chris Filiatrault, who is fluent in Japanese and has a Japanese wife and three children. “I wanted to foster relations between our two countries. That might sound like a lofty goal, but it was something I believe in,” says Filiatrault. “Now more than 1,000 people have gone back and forth between our two communities.” When the exchange began, it was with a place known as Azuma Mura – mura means village in Japanese. Over time, the area grew and was re-named Azuma Machi, which means town. Then later, an amalgamation created the city of Inashiki. Like Salmon Arm, the area has its roots in agriculture. Its prime industry is rice growing.
The similar size and background of the two communities was part of what brought them together. Filiatrault flew to Japan in 1989 and met with then Mayor Naruke and a partnership was devised. A short time later, Salmon Arm Mayor Dick Smith also visited Japan and the official twinning agreement was signed. The partnership in Salmon Arm has been strongly supported by both the city and School District #83. Now, the partnership has come full circle with one of the first Japanese high school students to visit Salmon Arm in the first exchange trip now sending her son to participate in the same cross-cultural experience. “It’s very satisfying to see how the program has created these bonds,” says Filiatrault, who notes Inashiki also has a robust twinning committee designed to keep the exchange vibrant. “For some kids, it has been a lifechanging experience to see a culture and a place they never knew existed. That’s what really keeps me going.” A number of students from here have gone on to make their own trips
to Japan and have kept in touch with their host families. Others have even moved to Japan to teach English. The program has been given a significant boost by the creation of the Japanese language program at Salmon Arm Secondary. While Japanese students learn English in school beginning in Grade 6, there was no counterpart in Salmon Arm until then-superintendent Doug Pearson and teacher Pam Chudiak brought the elective to the school. “It was a huge boost to support the twinning program,” Filiatrault says, noting the Salmon Arm students are anxious to use their language skills when they make their trip to Japan. The most visible symbol of the enduring relationship is the Friendship Gate in McGuire Lake Park, which was built in 1998 to commemorate the relationship. Filiatrault says this is one of the most special legacies of the twinning. This year’s trip hosted a young student whose grandfather was one of the carpenters from Inashiki who came over to construct the gate. In Inashiki, Salmon
Arm contributed a log Friendship House, which is an open picnic structure adorned with First Nations art and is located beside a community centre. Filiatrault says another memorable moment with the twinning came with the Salmon Arm response to the Fukushima disaster in Japan. People in Inashiki were affected and students rallied to raise $3,000 to contribute to the relief efforts. Filiatrault says it was a very difficult time in Japan and the contribution was recognized in the Japanese city. “It meant a lot to them that it was heartfelt and that we were thinking of them.” While, due to economic circumstance, the exchange trips have been scaled back from every year to every other year, Filiatrault is confident the relationship will continue to flourish into the future. Another idea is to expand the relationship by creating some economic opportunities between the two areas. This year, Inashiki has sent an economic development delegate to meet with Salmon Arm officials. Filiatrault says the

ing horses, water-skiing and mountain climbing. Then the Canadian participants get a taste of the extreme hospitality of the Japanese, as well as the ancient temples and respectful culture. “I always call the last day the River of Tears.

Jamie and Issac Shane, Cecil Williamson, Seth Blackburn, Landon Gouger, Parker Shane, Alex Smolne and LJ Blackburn take in the action from the top of an excavator. Number 199 driver Rylan Procyk lets off some steam, and fire, after being immobilized and winding up in third place during the first heat. The last men driving – Leroy Williamson chases Lyle Williamson in a bid to end the first heat. Dan Peck talks with an audience member while being towed in his vehicle following a wild but unsuccessful second heat bid.

Two young Shuswap Dance Center students turned down major ballet company invitations – at least for now. Studio owner and teacher Carolyn Wonacott is delighted that 12-year-old Joshua Williams was not only accepted to the National Ballet Summer School in Toronto, he was accepted to the company’s year-round academic and dance program. “He has been dancing with me for seven years; he was one of my first students in Salmon Arm,” she says, noting the young dancer had also been accepted at Royal Winnipeg Ballet last year. “He turned the National Ballet down but is thinking about going next year.” At 11 years old, Mackennzie Mount was accepted to Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s summer school and invited back for the year. “She declined because she is just a bit young to go. Probably in three or four years she would think of going, maybe for high school,” says Wonacott. “The thing about
going to the National or Winnipeg is the intensity; it’s a very elite environment, a lot of pressure. But it’s also very exciting, I think, if you’re looking at it for a career.” Wonacott says either company would be a stellar place in which to study. On the home front, Wonacott has just run a very successful summer school of her own from Aug. 10 to 21. “We had full classes for both weeks, that’s 14 students both weeks,” she says. “For us that’s a full contingent because it’s an advanced summer school.” Kelowna Ballet dancer Desiree Bortoluzzi taught ballet and ballet variations during the first week. For the second week, Sarah Smith joined the teaching roster. Smith danced professionally in Los Angeles for 15 years, and performed for television and film –
including the Austin Power movies. “She was here to teach L.A. style jazz and jazz funk,” says Wonacott, “and was also giving the kids a class on how to audition and how to negotiate the L.A. dance scene and get work there.” Wo n a c o t t taught summer session classes in ballet and jazz, while Raelynn Heppell gave classes in musical theatre, character and tap and Sasha Byrnes taught contemporary dance. Registration for the new dance year opens in Sep-
tember for three days – Thursday, Sept. 3 from 3 to 6 p.m. and Tuesday, Sept 8 and Wednesday, Sept. 9 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the studio at 590 Okanagan Ave. SE. Shuswap Dance Center offers ballet under the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) curriculum, and also RAD (Rural Academy of Dance) curriculum, which are international standards. “We have an examiner who comes to test the dancers in the spring,” says Wonacott. “And we have ISTD modern dance exams as well, which includes contemporary and jazz.” Students can also take lessons in tap, hiphop, lyrical and competition as well as Acro, which is a combination of dance and gymnastics. “We do three competitions per year and we do two shows – one at Christmas and one in June,” says Wonacott. For more information, call 250-833-5418 or 250-832-5258, visit www.shuswapdance.com or drop in at the Dance Center on the registration dates.

ties broaden under the guidance of local artists Rebecca Shepherd and Lisa Figueroa. She also credits the Eagle Valley Brush and Palette Club, who she plans to paint with again soon. Janzen says she’s had offers on the Johnny Cash and others. No sale yet though. For her, painting is more a form of therapy, through a process that, despite her experience to date, is still something of a mystery. “I really paint from my heart, and usually, when I’m painting… it doesn’t really make sense until the end, and it just kind of all pulls together for me, like in about the last five minutes of the painting. It’s kind of neat,” said Janzen.

Heather Janzen has a knack for brushes with celebrity. The Shuswap artist has been painting for about eight years. But it’s only been in the past year or so that her home, particularly the living room, has become a gallery of music and Hollywood icons – famous portraits of even more famous celebrities reinterpreted in oil on canvas (and wood). Among these works are images of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Alice Cooper, Johnny Cash, Madonna and Al Pacino in a moment from the film Scarface. Janzen’s penchant for portraits is, in part, a reflection of her personality and the people she admires. “I’ve always liked Madonna. I’m a fan of hers. I’m into a little bit of shock value I think, if for the right reasons you know,” Janzen explained. “I’ve tried to get away from doing the portraits, but I always go back to them… maybe it’s because I always wanted to be a rock star.” That said, Janzen’s body of work consists of a variety of subjects and styles, done in oil, acrylic, charcoal and chalk. She’s also tried her hand at sculpting. However, it’s the oils that have drawn some recent attention. Janzen had a few

On Saturday, Aug. 29, the Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Salmon Arm and representatives from the yoga community will be holding the first of what’s expected to be an annual community yoga event. “Peace in the Park is an open invitation event for everyone to join us in celebrating yoga health and wellness by participating in a morning yoga session, crystal singing bowl and meditation,” states a news release. Jim Kimmerly, pres-
ident of the chamber, explains the yoga event is part of a plan to utilize beautiful Marine Park more often. “The long-term goal is to create a real topquality social gathering place,” he says. “If people have relatives in town, they’ll be able to say, ‘Let’s go to Marine Park – there’s always something going on.’” The Aug. 29 event begins with a community, all-level yoga class at 10 a.m. For those who are new to yoga, there will be a variety of poses and stretches geared towards all ages and levels of experience. The morning will finish with crystal singing

A lack of regular exercise can be more harmful than previously thought According to a study published in The Lancet in 2012, across the globe sedentary lifestyles are now causing as many deaths as smoking. Data indicates that a lack of physical activity is causing 5.3 million deaths per year and that the problem is so bad some believe it should be treated as a pandemic. Exercise can reduce rates of obesity, strengthen bones, help a person manage stress, and reduce a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
