Students forced to transfer Silver Creek: Parents frustrated after working to increase enrolment.
By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
When Silver Creek Elementary School narrowly escaped closure last May, school trustees told parents to grow the school’s student population in order to keep the rural school viable in the future. And parents were successful – adding 17 new students to the school’s population this year. But the parents are left feeling their efforts have been negated by the school district, which is now forcing the transfer of Silver Creek’s six Grade 6 and 7 students to Shuswap Middle School. “They were the ones who encouraged us to have the school grow, and we worked hard to up those numbers, and now the school district says, ‘Sorry, there’s not enough money for another teacher.’ We can’t grow the school if they keep forcing our kids out,” says parent advisory council member Kristie Clark. She is especially upset because, after working to increase enrolment, her son is one of the students being forced elsewhere. “My son was so excited because he feels so comfortable at Silver Creek and then on the second day we hear this news. He was in tears,” says Clark. Due to class-size limits, another teacher would be required to cover the 53 students wanting to attend Silver Creek. Citing the low numbers of students who would be in that teacher’s class and the need to balance the school district budget, the school district has instead opted to transfer the older students out. This leaves one teacher for the kindergarten-Grade 1 class and another to teach the Grade 2/3/4/5 class. “The real issue in making these difficult decisions is providing equity of service to students around the district,” says school superintendent Glenn Borthistle. “If we were to add a third division to Silver Creek, the ratio of teacher to student would be far less than at other schools.” Borthistle notes this is a process that happens See Appeal on page A3

It’s all fun at the fair By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Numbers were down, but spirits are high. Ticket sales to the annual Salmon Arm Fair were down by about 800, but there were more than 326 new exhibitors. Star MacGregor, fair committee chair, said all the exhibitors, young or old, pay an exhibitor’s fee that gives them entry to the fair on all three days and those totals are kept separate from ticket revenue. “I was very pleased we had new exhibitors and pleased that families with two, four or more kids were exhibiting,” she says. “It’s wonderful to see younger people entering with their families,

starting the tradition.” MacGregor was also thrilled with the numbers and dedication of the fair volunteers, which she says are countless, because each division has its own volunteers. “We probably had 75 people just on the gates but we can’t give a clear number,” she said. “We’re asking them (conveners) to give us a report of how many volunteer hours they have put in.” MacGregor heard many positive comments about the parade and Shooting Star Midway and said the worst incident at the fair was at the first aid stations where Band-Aids were handed out for blisters. MacGregor offered kudos

Organizers assessing event Continued from front “I’m one tired person with no voice,” croaked Evans, taking the phone from MacGregor. “I went around the grounds asking people what did they enjoy and what could we improve, and they couldn’t tell me anything (to improve).” Evans says some of the commercial vendors had difficulty selling their products, but pointed out that many
families have just laid out sizeable amounts of money getting their kids ready for school. As well, she said unique items not available locally seemed to sell well and that overall, success depended on product and pricing. “There was a challenge getting vendors in but by changing our entertainment, we had people coming (into the arena) at 10 p.m.,” she says. “Lori and Gil Risling put together a solid pro-
gram that kept people here.” Evans acknowledges that the short shows put on by the Thundering Impact horse drill team were a result of miscommunication. “They were supposed to perform between horse shows and they just came from the PNE where they did that,” said Evans, noting team members were not aware they could have more time in the ring. “They said if they ever come back
they’ll do longer performances.” Evans suspects Saturday numbers may have been down because of the heat and that many folks might have opted for the beach. “The worst critic of the fair right now is the person you’re talking to,” she said of her attempts to assess what worked and what didn’t. “I put my heart and soul into this and I should know what went well. I am as open as a sponge.”

Appeal made to school board Continued from front each year once actual student numbers are known. A student from North Canoe has also been required to transfer to another Salmon Arm school due to class size limits, while some classes in Highland Park and Grindrod Elementary are full. Silver Creek has also prevented the enrolment of one Grade 3 student at the school due to the classsize limit. Increased numbers at Shuswap Middle School were already requiring another teacher to be added, and the Silver Creek students could be accommodated there. Some Silver Creek parents are not willing to give up and move their kids without a fight. They have appealed to MLA Greg Kyllo for assistance. “We understand where the district is coming from, but it is not fair,” says Clark. “This situation speaks to the underfunding of education in this province. We need to go higher, the community of Salmon Arm, the Shuswap, the Okana-
Glenn Borthistle SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS gan, all of B.C. We all need to rally against the government to provide the support our kids need.” At least one parent has also already filed a formal appeal with the school board against the forced transfer. This means the issue will be brought before the board for a final determination. The Observer attempted to speak with school trustees about the issue; however, none would comment, citing the pending appeal process. A hearing on the issue will be held within the next two weeks. Silver Creek parents point out that Silver Creek Elementary is one of the smaller rural schools in the province that specifically receives funding to deal
with these types of situations. School District #83 receives $157,500 directly from the province for Silver Creek Elementary to help supplement the costs of small schools. This funding, however, is not allocated directly to the school but becomes part of the school district’s general operational budget. Noah Ralston, who spearheaded the drive to convert Silver Creek Elementary to a Montessori model and increase its enrolment, also says the removal of two grades is not a normal forced transfer, calling it a “grade reconfiguration in disguise.” As per school district policy, he says this grade reconfiguration should require 60 days’ notice to parents and
public consultation. In the meantime, the school board has commissioned a report on the viability of a Montessori program in the district, although not necessarily at Silver Creek, and is also going to look at the option of converting Silver Creek into a K-8 school. While some parents are concerned that the low numbers at Silver Creek Elementary will once again put the school on the chopping block for the 2016-2017 school year, Borthistle says the increased numbers in the lower grades bode well for its future. “At this time there is no motion from the board or recommendation to staff to talk about closing the school,” says Borthistle.

Teen copes with leukemia
Fundraising: Medical expenses stretch family’s budget. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
SAT
SEPT 19
Canoe Creek Golf Course
2015
Megan Senn is a bubbly, affectionate person, who loves cats, music, dancing, the colours pink and purple, the movie Frozen, teen magazines and her family and friends. But right now she’s enduring a difficult time. At the beginning of this month, Megan was diagnosed with leukemia. She is now in BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver and her mom, Karen Quinton, is staying in her room with her. Megan has Down syndrome. Megan’s aunt Leslie Stewart explains that because she has special needs, it’s more of a challenge to explain things to her, “so it’s good Karen’s there‌ They’re in Children’s Hospital, which is great, that’s where she needs to be. It’s excellent care.â€? However, it is a big expense and upheaval for the family. Megan has three siblings: Heather, 19, Courtney, 18, and Connor, 14, and Quinton is a single mom. She is a Grade 1 teacher at Parkview Elementary but has also taught at other district schools. “I think what the concern for family, first and foremost, is for Megan to get better. And Karen’s a single mom, with a single income,â€? says Stewart. “So that’s why we’re trying to fundraise. This puts another added expense on the family, on what was already a tight budget.â€? She says Megan is now undergoing chemo, and it’s not known how long she will be in hospital. She attended Salmon Arm Secondary last year, but hasn’t been able to go yet this term. “It’s one day at a time, how well she responds to it. I think there is a good outlook – I hope things will go well. That’s what we’re praying for. It could take up to two years of treatment.â€? Even when she’s not
receiving treatment, Megan can’t be far away from the hospital. Megan’s grandpa as well as aunts, uncles and other family members are helping out with Megan’s siblings. “Megan misses her brothers and sisters, her grandma and grampa – she looks forward to going home, but she’s going to be there for a while.� To help the family, a GoFundMe account on the Internet has been set up under Megan Senn Recovery Fund at http://www.gofundme. com/6q3mrt38. Donations can also be made at any branch of Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union, by asking for the ‘In trust for Megan Senn, account 1626480.’ If people wish to write a cheque, make it out to ‘Leslie Stewart, in trust for Megan Senn.’

Variances Ok’d for ‘beautiful’ property By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
City council weighed concerns of neighbours and the wishes of property owners in making servicing and setback decisions on what
was described by councillors as a beautiful property and the envy of many in Salmon Arm. High above the town and lake at the corner of 20 Avenue SE and 10th Street SE, the parcel is set to become, in three phases, a 34-lot
single family residential subdivision. The owners, listed as E. and M. Byers and a B.C. numbered company, represented by agent Jayme Franklin of Franklin Engineering Ltd., were requesting three variances from council. They were
granted two of three. One was to reduce the width of a panhandle portion of a proposed lot from 20 to 10 metres, and the second to waive the requirement to connect two proposed catch basins on 20th Avenue SE to the city storm sewer
system. Staff reported two similar catch basins with rock pits exist to the east on the same street. Council did not approve the request to reduce the minimum road width of the extension of 17th Avenue SE from 20 to 18 metres.

Arnold gets a rough ride Mel Arnold might have wished he’d actually skipped the Vernon Performing Arts Centre forum Monday. It was clear right from the get-go that many in the crowd of 500 had set their sights on the Conservative candidate and apparent whipping boy for every perceived wrong initiated by Stephen Harper. The first question from the floor challenged Arnold’s decision not to attend all of the forums in North Okanagan-Shuswap. “We have a busy schedule and multiple requests for forums,” he countered, adding that he is spending considerable time knocking on doors. “That’s where we really hear what’s important to people.” Agitation grew as the issue of Syria arose and specifically, Canada’s bombing of ISIS insurgents. Through a volley of hecklers, Arnold defended the government’s military actions. “Our government has joined an international coalition to work at the source,” he said. And the jeering intensified as Arnold spoke of the refugees flooding into Europe and the tragic death of a young boy. “We have to stop that festering evil (ISIS) in its tracks.” The curve ball question of the night came when an audience member asked the candidates what they thought of the job done by retiring Conservative MP Colin Mayes. It was a balancing act as Arnold needed to be respectful of the party’s long-time local flag-bearer while demonstrating that he’s his own man. “I know how much Colin put into the job. He represented every one of you,” said Arnold. But his comments contrasted sharply to those from a few residents who spoke of not being able to access Mayes’ office or not having phone calls returned. Among them was Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate who organized rallies against Bill C-51, the government’s anti-terrorism legislation. “Many people have had concerns about Colin’s office being locked. When you could speak to someone through a crack (in the door), the reason given was the high risk of terrorism in Vernon,” she said to a rolling wave of laughter. On a side note, Green Party candidate Chris George brought down the house with his description of Mayes’ tenure: “He’s done at least as well as the rest of the Conservative caucus.” Now there were some pointed questions directed towards Gingras about where she stands on the gun registry, and Liberal Cindy Derkaz about income splitting, but hard balls kept being tossed in the direction of Arnold. Obviously there are some voters who are tired of the Conservative government and will do anything to prevent re-election, including acting worse than a group of children. These antics are likely to continue during the upcoming forums as some NDP and Liberal supporters see the tight three-way race nationally and smell blood. Arnold will either buckle under the pressure or the hostility will galvanize local Conservatives to stand their ground and hold on tight until Oct. 19.
SALMON ARM OBSERVER
Editorial
Gathering ideas for saving dollars Salmon Arm council’s public input meeting on the 2016 budget provided food for thought. The normal procedure is for community groups or individuals to come to city council with requests for funding for projects or for organizations. A group of neighbours might lobby for a sidewalk for their street, or an organization might request funding help for a project that will benefit the community. There were several of these types of requests Monday evening, which council will consider during budget deliberations. But one citizen came for another reason. He had suggestions – some of them ways the city might save money or possibly be more
environmentally friendly. While they weren’t presented as well-laid-out plans and might not have been within the city’s power, the intent was interesting. Though he was told by the mayor that he was only giving cost-saving measures and not items for the budget, perhaps he was onto something. What about an additional budget meeting where people present cost-saving measures they’ve considered? City departments are always having to cut items in order to make budget; perhaps some broader input from citizens might make the job easier. Who knows, there might just be an idea or two that no one has thought of before.

The Observer asked: What should be the top priority for candidates in this federal election?
Herbert George “We need to put Canadian jobs ahead of jobs for immigrants.”
Teresa Brookes “Canadian job security. We need to take care of our own before we look after others.”
Mike Boulter “The environment. We need to look for new ways to generate energy and stop relying on fossil fuels.”
Joanne Patrick Lomax “We need economic stability. I don’t think we can spend our way out of a recession.”
Rod Dekker “Healthcare, education, it’s hard to pick just one when there are so many issues that need to be addressed.”
Protest stunts distract Harper imports political wizard from meaningful efforts BC VIEWS
Tom Fletcher “I am tired of managing poverty.” The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province. In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years. “Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.” Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat. That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline. There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.
Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities. “Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George. Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country. “Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said. Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members. “Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. “Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.
Given Stephen Harper’s innate disdain for the judgment of Canadians, it was inevitable that he would contract out the job of head honcho for the Conservative election campaign to a foreigner. Australian Lynton Crosby is a ruthless worldrenowned political spindoctor. Crosby is intent on manipulating the emotions of Canadian voters using fear. He believes he can win the election for Harper’s Conservatives by enforcing strict discipline on the campaign staff; by distort-
ing the truth with cleverly crafted talking points and by systematically undermining the character, abilities and policies of the opposition leaders. In the story, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the ruler of the Land of Oz is revered by his subjects because they believe he is the only one who can solve difficult problems. Eventually the charlatan is exposed to be nothing more than a conman who has been using various carnival props and magic tricks to make the people think he
has great powers. During the last 10 years, the vast majority of Canadians have come to realize Stephen Harper, the selfproclaimed economic mastermind, has become nothing more than addicted to power. Lynton Crosby’s task is to make Mr. Harper appear less scary than the other party leaders. Don’t be hoodwinked by the wily wizardry of Australia’s highly paid master of the dark political arts! Lloyd Atkins
Citizens need to be self-sufficient Re: Urban society slides into helplessness (B.C. Views, Sept. 9) Thanks for the article on the way society cannot handle any small upsets to the status quo. I remember the big windstorm of 2006, which incidentally was in December. I was a 60-plus senior at the time, and my power was out in a residential area of Colwood for five-and-a-half days, as our two-house power line was not a high priority in the queue.
I watched the Hydro trucks go by day after day, waiting my turn for reconnection. Fortunately I have a wood stove that can heat my house, boil water and cook food. It does get tiresome living by candlelight but I had my disaster radio nearby to listen to the local station give updates on how Hydro was doing. Most of my freezer contents were moved to friends’ homes, and my garden shed became my refrigerator. Anyone with common
sense can understand that the repair crews work tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible, and perhaps the media could help by reminding people that they need to fend for themselves for several days if a major earthquake ever occurs. Calling 911 just clogs up the lines and can stop people from getting through with real emergencies. Whatever will we do when the “big one” comes? Margaret Mercer
Government shouldn’t be all things I couldn’t agree more with your article on how we now need the government
or some other entity to look out for us every day all day. I believe the term for it is
“learned helplessness.” Lloyd Jenkins

Beavers embark on new pond OBSERVER STAFF
In the battle of beavers versus humans, the beavers have been showing up, digging deep and giving 110 per cent. Team Beavers’ work ethic is evident to anyone who has walked the Foreshore Nature Trail along Salmon Arm Bay recently. In a league of their own, the toothy rodents have set their sights on a lofty goal – creating a new pond. Unfortunately, their goal entails flooding the trail and, potentially, destabilizing the railway tracks. The beavers have been building a new dam on the railway side of the trail, which humans have had little success in dismantling.
“Whenever someone makes a hole in the dam, they rebuild it the next night,� says Joyce Henderson, a member of SABNES (the Nature Bay Society), who walks the trail regularly. Although she believes the beavers are fighting a losing battle, she’s enjoying the contest just the same. “From my point of view, it’s an entertaining situation. Today, the path across the trail is the deepest it’s been,� she said Thursday. “You have wet feet. They’re winning – until other forces prevail.� Meanwhile, members of SABNES have put their heads together to formulate a plan of attack. President Janet Aitken summed up the

School lunch program expands More students will be getting lunch this year as a partnership between the Salmon Arm Rotary Club and Askew’s Foods extends its reach. In October 2014 the service club and Askew’s launched a school lunch program for children in need of daily lunch assistance at elementary schools. The program provided assistance to children from Falkland, Enderby, Salmon Arm, Silver Creek, Sorrento and Sicamous. The idea grew from
a club member Kari Wilkinson’s request for $250 to support a District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) hot lunch program after noticing the number of children who could not afford to participate in the program. The lunch program served approximately 250 to 275 children on a daily basis from October through June. Kids were provided healthy foods including cheese, fruit, vegetables, sandwiches, juice and milk. Organizers in each
proved attendance, and students more focused and ready to learn as a result of not being hungry,” says Wilkinson. “Anxiety levels decreased around food security, and a positive change in behaviour was noted in vulnerable students.” Wilkinson says there was also no stress or stigma for students to get the lunch support needed as items were made available to all children, including those who might have left their lunch at home.

Hydro crew rescues snagged owl By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
A great horned owl is recovering in Kamloops after an altercation with a kite and a close brush with hydro wires. Lynn Stanley had no idea her grandson’s runaway kite would cause quite so much trouble when it blew into trees near the family’s hydro transformer and adjacent power lines at their Tappen home. At dusk on Wednesday, Sept. 9, Stanley was alerted to something by her dogs barking, went outside and saw the owl dangling – its wing caught in the kite’s string just above the hydro connection. After initially being unsuccessful getting BC Hydro’s attention, Stanley contacted a wildlife rehabilitation group in Delta, which specializes in raptors.
They took charge and within 10 minutes of their call to BC Hydro, Stanley got a call back saying there was a crew on their way. “Here they are up at 50 feet in the air with their bucket truck at 11 at night,” says Stanley. “I was so grateful because I didn’t know what we were going to do. I didn’t want to leave the poor owl up there all night and still have no idea how to get him down.” The BC Hydro linesmen told Stanley that any issue with hydro poles or lines should be reported to hydro, as they do not want members of the public trying to work on it themselves. “It’s just too dangerous,” she said. The hydro workers were able to cut a length of string from both sides of the bird and

How to avoid injury during these popular workouts
• Jogging: Joggers should get adequate rest between running sessions and wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes when jogging. Avoid loose shoes so your feet don’t develop blisters, and ice your knees after each workout to facilitate their recovery. Knee and foot problems tend to plague many joggers, so it’s important that joggers take steps to reduce injury rather than telling themselves to push through the pain. • Circuit training: Circuit training is popular because it allows timepressed men and women to workout several areas of their bodies in relatively little time. When done correctly, circuit training is an efficient way to enhance cardiovascular fitness and muscle endurance. Circuit training participants do not typically do as many repetitions when working their muscles as they might when working out
one muscle group at a time, and that leads many to lift extra weight. That can cause damage to the shoulders or other areas of the body that are engaged as part of strength training. Such injuries can be avoided by adding rest to a circuit training routine and taking more time between exercises. This may run counter to the point of such a routine, but it’s well worth avoiding injury. • Yoga: Yoga is an increasingly popular exercise that can improve flexibility and overall strength. But some
yoga participants have suffered wrist injuries, pulled muscles and hip problems as a result of their yoga routines. Such injuries can be easily avoided by reinforcing your wrists with supports and not overdoing it when you feel your muscles are tight before or during a workout. If your instructor tries to push your body into a position you’re uncomfortable in, speak up and say you want to avoid that position. • Weightlifting: Weightlifting injuries are often the result of overdoing it with
weights or not adhering to proper form when lifting. When strength training, don’t go overboard with how much weight you are lifting. Start out with light

A grant of $1,500 has been made by the provincial government to the Salmon Arm General hospital to assist with the purchase of badly needed X-ray equipment, it was reported at a recent meeting of the hospital board. Marking the entry of the vast Saskatchewan Co-operative movement into the lumber manufacturing business in British Columbia, the modern sawmill plant owned by Shuswap Lumber Co. Ltd. at Canoe has been purchased by the Saskatchewan Federated Co-operatve Ltd. It was announced by O.S. Harris, president of the Shuswap firm. While the amount paid has not been disclosed, it is reported to be in the range of $250,000. The transaction is one of the largest to be completed in Interior B.C. lumber circles in a number of years.

Lack of competition in the bidding for the new schools to be built in the Salmon Arm School District surprised the trustees when the tenders on various projects were opened at a special meeting Friday night.

Survivor chosen to play Terry Fox By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
When he was 16, Jared Huumonen lost his leg to the same kind of cancer that claimed the life of Canadian hero Terry Fox. Little did he know that years later, he would be asked to portray Fox during a History Moment television clip. Jared, whose parents Shirley and Tapio live in Sicamous, will be featured in the oneminute clip, which will be running on various networks in tribute to the 35th anniversary of Terry’s remarkable journey across Canada. The clips began airing Tuesday, Sept 15 on Bell Media channels, including CTV, Much, MTV, TSN and Comedy. Then other broadcasters will start airing it, including CBC, the History Channel and Shaw networks in Victoria and Vancouver. Huumonen was recruited to play Terry Fox through the com-
pany which makes his prosthetic leg. The production company, Historica Canada, was looking for someone who might be suitable and, although at 37, Huumonen is older than Terry Fox, his height and build was similar. With the addition of a curly wig, some shortshorts and a specially made prosthetic leg designed to look like the one Terry Fox wore, Huumonen was ready to film. “Jared told me the worst part was wearing the wig because it was so hot as he ran.” But Shirley says being asked to play Terry Fox was such an honour for Jared, who always looked to Terry as a hero, especially after surviving the same type of cancer, osteogenic sarcoma. With her voice wavering, Shirley spoke of how proud her family was to see Jared running as Terry. “What Terry did, and is still doing to help

Dedicated to Conservative ideals By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Serious and hardworking are two words Mel Arnold uses to describe himself. Raised on a dairy farm in Notch Hill, Arnold learned the work ethic early. It’s an attribute that served him well in business, as it led to his first job when one of his teachers hired him for boat building. That’s a line of work that stuck. Arnold, who is running under the Conservative banner in the federal North Okanagan Shuswap riding, has operated his Complete Marine Detailing business for 26 years. “I built that from the ground up – I’m not so much hands on any more. Through that I’ve learned the importance of balanced budgets and planning ahead for possible hard times.” Arnold and his high school sweetheart Linda have been married for 36 years. “My wife and I are both proud to be lifetime residents,” he says. Personality-wise, Arnold describes himself as “a listener, very much approachable. Serious. More on the serious side than on the fun-loving side.” Arnold’s background includes volunteering, with two terms as president of the BC Wildlife Federation and six years as chair of governance with the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Asked about his passions, the outdoors tops the list. “I like to enjoy the outdoors any time I can. Hunting and fishing are my favourite passions but anytime I can be outdoors. And, oddly enough, governance is a passion. That’s why I was chair with the Canadian Wildlife Federation…,” he said. Asked if he has trouble reconciling his love of the outdoors with the Conservative government’s much-criticized performance on the environment, he says: “My past roles have
been as a conservationist, not a preservationist. I believe in the wise use of resources. The Conservatives have been very supportive of environmental issues. In fact last year, there was $252 million for the conservation plan. That will go towards protecting sensitive areas and programs aimed at conservation of natural resources.” Regarding potential pipeline spills, he says, “With 21st century technology, I think the risks are reasonable, especially compared with the risks in rail disasters, like Lac-Mégantic.” As for international criticism of Canada’s position regarding climate change and the Kyoto Accord, he says: “The agreement may have been over-ambitious in light that Canada produces only two per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. It’s very difficult

allow different authorities to share information… about risks to the safety of Canadians, especially here at home.” The three issues Arnold has in his sights are: families sustaining local jobs; infrastructure and the highway system; and advocating on behalf of seniors. Arnold says he believes he would have a voice in Ottawa.

Emotion fuels Silverbacks home opener By Evan Buhler OBSERVER STAFF
The Silverbacks skated out onto the ice in a reserved and respectful manner as they started their 2015/16 season with a moment of silence for Hallie Grace Bolduc, the daughter of Silverbacks forward Carson Bolduc and his girlfriend Kierra Lentz. At just one week old, Hallie was diagnosed with an enterovirus that attacked her heart, she put up a tough fight but sadly after three weeks she died. “The moment of silence was really touching, it’s great to see the support I have from the team and community,” said a humble Bolduc after the game. Following the sombre ceremony, there was no lack of intensity once the puck was dropped, as the ’Backs entertained the more than 1,700 fans with an impressive 4-2 win over the defending Fred Page Cup champions, Penticton Vees. “There was lots of emotion tonight with the moment of silence for Hallie before the game. We’re a family and we played for our teammate (Bolduc) tonight,” said Brandon West, head coach of the Silverbacks. The last time the Silverbacks won a home opener was five years ago to the day, back when the Shaw Centre was known as the Sunwave Centre. Four-year veteran, Angus Redmond started the game sharp, shutting down the Vees captain Tyson Jost on two occasions early in the first period. “Angus played the way we expect him to play, like a veteran,” said West of the game’s first star. After some free-flowing play, the ’Backs hemmed the Vees in their zone and the West Corina, Calif. native Elijiah Barriga opened the scoring in the game. “I found myself in the slot with lots of time and space, Josh(Laframboise) made a great pass and I was able to put it home from there,” said a broadly smiling Barriga.
EVAN BUHLER/OBSERVER
Sweet celebration: The Silverbacks Elijiah Barriga, left, and Josh Laframboise celebrate his first goal in the BCHL and game at the Shaw Centre on Friday, Sept. 11. Barriga scored two goals in this, his BCHL debut. The 19-year-old import chipped in his second of the game on a short-handed twoon-one rush with Nick Hutchison early in the second. “It’s an unreal feeling, I never thought I would score two in my first game,” said Barriga. Vees rookie Easton Brodzinski cut the visitors defect in half, but 31 seconds after, saw it cancelled out by Josh Blanchard’s first of the season. And Ross Heidt scored

just before the end of the middle frame. Colton Thibault was a constant physical presence, racking up a large number of bone crushing hits that blew the roof off the Shaw Centre. “Colton was great, his play really inspired the team tonight,” said West. Again, Brodzinski scored to half the lead, but that is as close as the Vees would get. Overall, West said he was pleased with his

The Salmon Arm Junior Bantam Chargers easily defeated the West Kelowna TigerCats last Sunday, for their first win of the season. A dominant defensive performance led by Colby Kalke, Spencer Paquette, Dayton Bittner and Levi Byers saw them shut out West Kelowna’s offence. The Chargers offence was led by second-year running backs and players of the game Luke Matheson and Chase Henning, as well as speedy slot receiver Dylan Eugster. The Chargers’ attack was lethal and they found the end zone any way they could, scoring on punt returns, short runs, long runs and through the air. Other notable contributions came from quarterback Vaughn
McManamna with his first passing touchdown of the year, and Colby Heckrodt with his hard inside running. The 1-1 Chargers have a big test this week with their home opener, hosting the undefeated Kelowna Lions. Game time is 2 p.m. at Little Mountain.
Bantam
After their second consecutive win of the season, the Salmon Arm Bantam Chargers find themselves on top of the league standings. The Chargers made their first trip down to the Lower Mainland last Sunday to play the Cloverdale Leopards, defeating them 56-19. The Chargers put together a strong ground attack with Bladen Stephens taking the first

After that score, Tyler Chartier ran for four TDs and Jaydon Mourato, Travis Beers and Luke Simmonds each scored singles.

Miller gains Team BC experience Eleven Salmon Arm Secondary rugby players cracked the rosters of their respective provincial Okanagan regional teams this past August. Jewel Rugby players Brooke Miller, Krystine Hamre, and Avia Latosky made the U18 team, and Zaela Roberge made the U16 team. Brandon Samford, Perry Quodravu, and Hunter Lampreau made the U18 team and Skylar Bailey, Devin Steiner, Eric Bruce, and Ryder Fortes made the U16 team.
It’s Go Time!
In the provincial tournament, the Okanagan girls played their way to a bronze-medal showing and the boys finished fifth overall, in a tough division. James Cookson and Danny Hughes, coaches of the SAS Rugby team, were very proud of the local players who made it to the regional teams and competed at the province’s highest level. Miller’s exceptional play caught the attention of the U18 Team BC at the tournament and was invited to play two games for her
province against Team USA’s U18 squad at Brentwood College.
Brooke Miller RUGBY PLAYER Miller is known for her speed and being able to break through almost any tackle, which led to her play-
ing on the wing. Unfortunately Team BC could not contain the bigger and stronger American team and lost the first match, leaving Team BC shellshocked. Team BC had one day of rest to recoup before their second go at Team USA. Again at Brentwood College, Team BC took on the goliath task of facing Team USA. The visitors walked away with another win, but Team BC made it closer as they were able to score 12 against their rivals.
“I played both games on the wing and had an incredible experience with such a talented team,” said Miller. In Miller’s experience she had already faced two players of Team USA at the Fullerton Rugby Tournament in California last March, while touring with the Yeti Rugby Club. These games also provided Rugby Canada with the opportunity to see the B.C. players in action with an eye on Canada’s plans to name a U18 national team in the near future.

Rookie Sensations: F Owen Sillinger, 17, chose to play for Penticton after receiving heavy interest from Junior A teams such as the Vipers. Easton Brodzinski played three years of high school hockey in Blaine, MN., and recorded 72 points in 80 games. D Sam Jones, 17, put up 31 points in 28 games for the Okanagan Hockey Academy Prep Red. Strengths: Early in training camp, the Vees displayed their speed and skill.
2. Salmon Arm Silverbacks
3. Vernon Vipers
4. West Kelowna Warriors
Key Returnees: F Liam Blackburn (2251-73), Jonathan Desbiens (27-27-54), Kylar Hope (11-9-20), Garret Forster (17-28-45), D Kristian Blumenschein (7-35-42), Kyle Marino (3-15-18), Rylan Yaremko (4-13-17). Rookie Sensations: Jake Harrison, 16, a West Kelowna product who played with POE in Kelowna last season. Connor Sodergren and Quinn Forman are both from Massachusetts, while Reid Gunville hails from Prince Albert. Goalie, Forbes Polszay, from Arizona, played in three locales last season, including the Colorado Rampage U18s. Strengths: The Warriors have a good core of veteran leaders, led by the team’s top scorer, Liam Blackburn, and newly-appointed captain Kyle Marino. As has been the case with Warriors’ teams of recent years, a persistent, workmanlike approach will be the key to success.
5. Merritt Centennials
Key Returnees: F Gavin Gould (24-35-

Rookie Sensations: GM Joe Martin and his predecessor Luke Pierce found some gems in Americans Michael Faulkner, Nick Fiorentino, Nick Jermain and Ryan Finnegan along with homegrown talent Michael Regush, Tyler Wickman and Colten Lancaster. Strengths: With 14 new faces in the lineup, it’s going to take some time for the Cents to gel. Their pre-season demonstrated that this year’s team has the firepower and speed to be competitive in the tough Interior division, while newcomers Faulkner and Fiorentino look like good additions to a blueline anchored by a healthy Kaila and Arcuri.
6. Trail Smoke Eaters
Key Returnees: F Harlan Orr (18-17-35), Max Newton (9-15-24), Kienan Scott (15-8-23), Cooper Leitch (7-8-15), Conner Brown-Maloski (8-6-14).

commit John Laurito, 19, joined the Smoke Eaters with speed to burn and a nice touch around the net. Strengths: Trail has the ability to force the play and score throughout the lineup. Also, the acquisition of highly touted netminders Bailey Macburnie, and Linden Marshall should provide solid and consistent goaltending.

YOUR
Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19): With your ruler Mars in sunny Leo, Rams are in an optimistic phase. No challenge is too great as you approach life with extra energy, enthusiasm and adventurous ideas. But expect conversation overload when Mercury reverses through your relationship zone [from Friday until October 9]. Make sure you choose your words wisely, otherwise you’ll just upset loved ones. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This week it will be unusually easy to be swept away with dubious dreams and uncertain schemes that have no basis in reality. So keep your Bull bull**** detector on high and keep your feet firmly on the ground. Are you expecting a substantial sum of money to land in your bank account sometime over the next two years? There may be some delays. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t expect others to magically read your mind. You’ll have to be extra patient and precise in the way you communicate this week, otherwise misunderstandings are likely. Saturn also shifts back into your relationship zone, so expect a steep learning curve in your dealings with others. Strive to consolidate romantic, platonic and business partnerships over the next two years. CANCER (June 21-July 22): When it comes to your aspirations for the future, you’re full of fabulous dreams and schemes but avoid letting blind optimism lead you up the primrose path to trouble. Stay on top of facts and leave fantasy for the movies. With Saturn shifting back into your wellbeing zone, strive to be more disciplined about your fitness and food choices. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Lions – do you feel like a cat on a hot tin roof ? Avoid being cooped up inside this week – make sure you move your muscles in a variety of different ways. Some Leos will become confused about a complicated financial situation; while others make wildly impulsive purchases [that you later regret]. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Learn to put a positive spin on a perceived failure. With energy and enthusiasm, you can turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse! Savvy Virgos will devote extra time to improving family relationships or tackling overdue home renovations over the next two years, as Saturn saunters through your domestic zone.
YOUR
Sudoku
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get ready for some family fiascos and relationship rumbles, as Mercury reverses through your sign for three weeks [from Friday]. So avoid bringing up controversial or sensitive subjects until a more suitable time. Courtesy of Saturn, prepare to undertake some serious study [over the next two years] as you discipline your mind, learn new skills, complete a degree or improve the way you communicate with others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you’re not careful then an unreliable friend or questionable acquaintance could lead you astray. So keep your realism radar on high and avoid getting caught up in dubious daydreams. You’re in for a few hard financial lessons over the next two years, as Saturn stirs up your money zone. Smart Scorpios will budget wisely, and favour saving over spending. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Saturn moves back into Sagittarius on Friday, where it stays until December 2017. Saturn will send many challenges your way over the next two years. But, if you are smart, then you’ll learn some valuable life lessons and you will gradually mature – like a fine red wine. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ruler Saturn shifts into Sagittarius on Friday, which heralds a period when you’ll be more politically involved or philosophicallyminded. But resist the urge to blame others when things go wrong. The only person who’s likely to sabotage your efforts over the next two years is you! So you need to get out of your own way … and trust your inner voice. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The Mars/Uranus trine shakes up your crazy-brave streak, and your unpredictable side runs wild! But stirring others up [for your own amusement] will get you nowhere fast. You’re ready to take some exciting risks, so strive to make smart snap decisions [rather than ridiculously reckless ones that you later regret]. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Over the next two years, take your hopes and wishes from the vague abstract realm and bring them down to Planet Earth. Through hard work, focus and discipline, you can make your dreams come true. It’s also the perfect time to learn from others and experiment with what works and what doesn’t.

Artist propelled by his curiosity By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Chris Cran has a one-word answer when asked how he feels about being described as a “renowned artist.” “Good” – followed by a lengthy pause and an infectious burst of laughter. Raised in Salmon Arm, Cran has plenty to laugh about – a new exhibition of his work opened Friday at the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton and another one launches at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Lethbridge on Sept. 26. On May 12, 2016, a collection of some 140 works from both exhibits will open at the National Art Gallery in Ottawa. As well, Cran’s work, much of it with a playful twist, may be found in numerous private and public collections including the National Gallery of Canada, Canada House in London, England, the Glenbow Museum, the Nickle Arts Museum, and the Art Gallery of Alberta. Cran is represented by TrépanierBaer Gallery in Calgary, Clint Roenisch Gallery in Toronto, and Wilding Cran Gallery in Los Angeles, which was founded by his son Anthony and wife Naomi Wilding. Early in 2014, Cran received the prestigious Cultural Leaders Legacy Artist Award, established to honour artists who are lauded for their work in national and international arenas and choose to make Calgary their home. Cran credits his longtime friend Herald Nix with setting his artistic course. “He was painting from the age of 12 and I watched what he did,” Cran says. “He went to art school
at 15 and at some point he said, ‘why don’t you try this?’ I did and was hooked.” Cran says Nix gave him some paint and canvas and, while he is dismissive of his initial efforts, he persevered. At the same time, Cran enrolled in the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education with a career in film in mind, but says he soon realized if he was going to pursue a career in the arts, it wasn’t going to be with other people. Recalling a childhood of playing and tinkering around in a big old barn on the family homestead reminded Cran that he enjoyed doing what he wanted to do on his own. Cran enrolled in the Kootenay School of the Arts in 1975 and remembers two important events that happened soon after – his fifth child was born and talented Shuswap artist Steve Mennie shared his realist techniques. “For my second year, I moved to the Calgary School of Art and Design and, to help pay the bills, I did portrait commissions… using techniques I learned from Steve,” he says, noting that life took another twist with a marriage breakup and a post-college job of reading water and electric meters for the City of Calgary. “I started doing more commissions and big selfportraits, and that’s what got my career started.” The above photo was taken at last Friday’s opening at the Art Gallery of Alberta and comes with an amusing Cran story. He had been doing a series of self portraits in the late ’80s when Toronto businessman Peter Boyd expressed an interest in his paintings. “I had nothing available but

After the self-portraits, Cran started striped paintings with halftone dots – a series of big heads 9 feet by 6 feet in size. “I found images that were halfan-inch or an inch in old pulp magazines and blew them up, so close up, you only see dots,” he says,
noting the viewer has to move farther away in order to see images Next came a period of painting abstracts, followed by ink works where he was putting ink down and using an airbrush to blow the ink, or scraping or rolling. Cran says the works begin to take on photographic qualities, a process he began to use to trick his viewer. “I am trying to basically duplicate the photographic code…” he says, noting his excitement about people’s response. “They’d say it looks photographic and I’d say ‘Bingo!’ Cran has begun incorporating fine stencils of his own making into his art. When he’s had enough of cutting stencils, he picks up his paintbrush. “When I do too much of one

thing, I will go back and do some abstracts and then come back to the stencils,” he says. Inspiration for his art is primarily visual. “There’s a world of inspiration. I am sitting on the fourth floor of the Art Gallery (of Alberta) and there are dots on the screens on the windows,” he says looking at the play between the screens and a building beyond. “I look at the building and the dots are huge and I think, how can I use that?” It is his innate curiosity that leads Cran to continue to explore ways of creating art. “I get an idea and then I can make it. And then I get to see it,” he says. “It’s got to do with the pleasure of making… I never know what’s going to come next. It’s hard to beat.”

Local talents got the chance to strut their musical stuff onstage in Shuswap Idol. The popular fall fair feature was won by Shelley Desautels, who received $500 and an hour-long vocal coaching session at In the Groove Studio. In second place was Lena Arkell, who took home $250 and a gift certificate from Dough Boyz, and third-place winner Elizabeth Joy received $125 and a Dough Boyz gift certificate. Honourable mentions and $50 were awarded to Carson Venne, Laura Close, Megan Abel and Megan Lauridsen. Organizer Lori Risling says Shuswap Idol contestants are scored up to 10 points on vo-
easier to organize, with 12 contestants in one category instead of 20. “I love doing it. I think giving them a chance to sing on a big stage and watching them grow is pretty rewarding.” Risling also arranges all the entertainment for the fair and says the list of performers has to be nailed down early for the fair schedule. That works if everyone remains healthy and available. But there were challenges this year. Adam Fitzpatrick had to cancel his Elvis tribute show because he and his wife are expecting a baby anytime now. Andrea Anderson had to leave Patsy Cline at home in Lake Country on Friday and Saturday because of laryngitis, but was well

Judges for the threeday competition included Dave Byers, Sharon Fitzsimonds and Roxy Roth. “Roxy was so impressed with how they (contestants) developed over the weekend,” said Risling. “Everybody just nailed it on Sunday.” Risling and husband Gil, who handles the technical side of the competition, will be back next year, even though running the contest involves a 12hour drive from their Saskatchewan home. “We’re going to put the singer songwriter award back into the mix,” says Risling, noting this year’s competition was so much

We don’t want to change the world...

OBSERVER STAFF
Salmon Arm artist Justin Maas got an immediate reaction when he posted a sketch of a celebrity on Twitter last Thursday night. The drawing shows comedian and America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel with many hands touching his head and the caption, “Sometimes the judges ‘need a hand’ too.’” “Justin Maas is great at drawing scary pictures,” posted Mandel on Instagram Friday morning. Mandel suffers from mysophobia, a pathological fear of contamination or germs, to the point that he does not shake hands with anyone unless he is wearing latex gloves. As of Tuesday morning, the post had garnered 4,819 likes and 56 comments. Maas, who has been a full-time professional illustrator, fine artist and graphic designer for nearly 20 years, teaches art courses at Okanagan College. He has had a Twitter account for three years but has been using Facebook as the outlet for his art. But about a month ago, Maas came across an article on social me-

Twitter power: Local artist Justin Maas holds his sketch of Howie Mandel that drew a fast, overnight response from the comedian on Instagram. dia and art and began tweeting his drawings. “I started with (Scottish actor) Ewan McGregor,” says Maas. “He liked it and retweeted and it ended up in a Scottish newspaper.” Maas says on nights when he is not painting, he has been doing random sketches of celebrities. Before Mandel, Maas sketched America’s Got Talent judges Mel B and Heidi Klum because his daughters love the show. And while the celebrities did not acknowledge his tweets,
the network did and Maas tweeted a sketch of the fourth judge, Howard Stern, on Friday morning. “I am a nobody and I get 500 notifications a day, it’s almost overwhelming,” says Maas of social media. “It’s definitely an interesting outlet, I just haven’t got a handle on how it all works.” Maas, who studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, UBC and earned a degree in visual communications at the Alberta College of Art and Design, works primar-
ily in pastel, acrylic and watercolour and has been producing commissioned pastel portraits. His work is on display at various art galleries and other locations in the Interior and has been sold to private collectors across North America, Europe and parts of South America. Uncomfortable with the big-city pace, Maas moved to Salmon Arm eight years ago. “It’s a good place, it’s been been good for the family and my career,” he says.

Look at one another, smiling, Sing the songs that I loved the best And dance one time all together. As for me.

Auditions - Mt. Ida Harmony
Just over 75 years ago, about 20 men got together in the rooftop gardens of a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to “just sing for fun.� They enjoyed the experience so much that the Barbershop Harmony Society was formed, and it has now beome the world’s greatest hobby, as well as the world largest all male singing association, with members participating in Barbershop Harmony on every continent the world over! For over 75 years now, the Barbershop Harmony Society has made tremendous strides in their music learning techniques, so the ability to readily read music is not really necessary. All that is needed is the desire to sing together with a fun bunch of guys! Mount Ida Harmony is hoping to increase their numbers by holding “Auditions For Admission.� So men, if you are over 14 years, and if you like to “sing in the shower,� you’ll love singing together with Mount Ida Harmony on Thursday, September 17 at the Community Room at Askew’s Uptown Store! No obligations! No commitments! No strings attached! If you still have questions, please contact Ron Long 250-833-1972.
