Candidates share their views

Election: Liberal, NDP, Green call for change, Conservative Mel Arnold defends status quo. By Tracy hughes obServer STAFF

There were some barbs thrown, but none of the candidates walked away wounded from a relatively congenial all-candidates meeting hosted by the Salmon Arm chamber of commerce Thursday evening. It was standing room only for the event, even after a break was called halfway through to add more chairs for the audience, which was dominated by seniors, with only a small group of teen or 20-something voters in attendance. unlike a previous forum in vernon where conservative candidate Mel Arnold got an earful, the crowd was more polite, likely in

part because the format did not allow for open questions from the audience. While the candidates did not see the questions before the forum, questions had to be submitted from the public in advance. liberal candidate cindy derkaz addressed this issue, saying she felt the forum was like a job interview and she wanted people to be able to ask her questions directly. “I’ll stay and answer any question,” she said. “I’ll answer your questions in the parking lot if I have to.” The questions covered a wide range of topics from support for seniors, to alternative energy, to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.

While the Greens’ chris George, ndP candidate Jacqui Gingras and derkaz were able to outline their visions for change, Arnold, with the conservatives as the incumbent party, had to defend his party’s record and point out the benefits of sticking with the status quo. His oft-repeated message was about the conservatives’ record on the economy and “keeping more money in your pocket.” He also warned the crowd about some of the other parties’ platforms on climate change and social programs. “A carbon plan would take money out of your pocket, and put it towards supporting a bureaucracy. How many of those dollars do

you think would actually go to taking carbon out of the air?” He noted canada produces only two per cent of the global emissions; however, this was immediately challenged by Gingras, who called Arnold’s claim that canadians are really not contributing that much to climate change “outrageous.” “We have 0.49 per cent of the population, so per capita, canadians are some of the most flagrant emitters of greenhouse gases,” she said, noting canadians need to hear real scientific evidence, not spin-doctored claims.

Crowd reacts to ‘muzzling’ response the other three parties. The other candidates came out on the side of increased free speech without retribution and enhanced openness of the democratic process. George pointed out that any research or information generated by government-supported scientists, census-takers or other efforts belongs to the taxpayers. “You have paid for that with your tax dollars. It should be accessible to all Canadians.” This was echoed by other candidates. “I’d like you to think about why this question even has to be asked,” Gingras told the audience. Interestingly many of the noticeable Liberal and NDP supporters gravitated to the left side of the room, while the right side had a stronger Conserva-

Continued from front Strong reaction also came from the crowd before the candidates even began to answer about their vision for the CBC. While George, Derkaz and Gingras all pledged support for the all-Canadian broadcaster, Arnold said he wanted to see the CBC continue in a more selfsustaining fashion, “not relying on your pockets.” Another buzz was stirred during a question about the Conservatives restricting the ability of government scientists to discuss their research. Arnold told the crowd that government muzzling is a myth, which generated an outbreak of disbelief from the contingents supporting

Spawning a new novel By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

An idea that germinated eight years ago is about to flower. Talented Shuswap author Gail Anderson-Dargatz’s new literary novel, The Spawning Grounds,, will be published by Knopf Canada in fall 2016. The book is about a tragedy that had split a family and the healing process family members go through. “In large part it’s about our relationships as newcomers – European and First Nations, and it goes into the deep past, near past and future,” she says of the novel that is set a couple of years from now. Anderson-Dargatz says she was not trying to write a sequel to Cure For Death By Lightning, which was published 20 years ago, but one character did return and refused to leave. “One of them did turn up. I was surprised but I shouldn’t have been,” she laughs. “Writing really is the act of surprise; you have no control over the process, they just turn up.” Anderson-Dargatz says the book is not political but is about our relationships with rivers and streams and contains an element of her trademark magic realism. That the book is set in the Shuswap is no surprise. It is the landscape of her childhood and is ingrained in the author’s psyche, although she purposely alters locations. While Anderson-Dargatz is amused by the term Gothic some readers use to describe her work, she agrees she is deeply affected by the landscape. “I don’t think that, but when I am writing, I am thinking fall, moody, secretive and I like it,” she says. “When we get that kind of weather, I hunker down, I feel enveloped, hugged by the landscape. I guess I am a bit of a moody writer, so it fits.” Excited about her first literary novel in 20 years, Anderson-Dargatz has never stopped writing. “People have been asking when I would write another literary novel and the short

Book alert: The Spawning Grounds, the new literary novel by bestselling author Gail AndersonDargatz will be published in 2016. answer is, I had kids and teaching,” she says, alluding to her years with UBC and a number of Rapid Read books she has produced. “Literary writing takes a lot of time and focus and the kids are moving into their own worlds, so I have more time now and will be getting books out there more quickly.” Anderson-Dargatz is working on the final edits of The Spawning Grounds and is already feeling sad to let the fictional community and its occupants go. “I have another project waiting, because if I don’t, I’ll enter a period of grieving,” she says. “A literary novel is a commitment, a serious marriage… Leaving it is akin to divorce in a way.” Anderson-Dargatz already has a draft of a young adult book ready for her attention.

“Young adult books are a very different kind of writing – more fantasy elements, a more commercial feel and much more fast-paced,” she says, pointing out they are meant for kids who have a good learning level. “Doing literacy books taught me a lot about keeping the reader’s interest and moving along. In literary, the focus is more on character than plot and more slower paced.” Anderson-Dargatz left her online teaching post with UBC in 2013 and is delighted her private teaching has been both successful and rewarding. Most of her teaching remains online but Anderson-Dargatz is holding local workshops. The first is a one-day event, a Sunday morning salon on the novel, at Blind Bay Hall, on Oct. 18. This short workshop will explore several issues with the goal of writing powerful fiction that has the authority that can only come from “writing what you know.” A second, weeklong fiction intensive will be held at the Notch Hill Hall over the week of Nov. 23 to 27 and will include critiquing. “It’s very hard to see mistakes in your own writing, but in the process of learning how to critique, you learn craft,” she says. “Working one-on-one with a mentor is great, but you learn a whole lot more when working with your peers under the guidance of a good mentor.” Anderson-Dargatz says workshops also build community and allow writers to deal with the accompanying fear and anxiety writers experience. “To be a successful writer, you have to have certain traits, an emotional intensity and the ability to observe deeply,” she says, pointing out most writers come from a ‘deep emotional landscape.’ “The upside is it can also fuel the writing. It’s an interesting thing we really have to deal with; it’s the black dog that can turn and bite you.” For more information, contact Gail Anderson Dargatz at books@gailandersondargatz.ca.

A vigorous cold front tore through the Shuswap Sunday evening, knocking out power to more than 2,000 customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a couple of elements that made it remarkable for late summer,â&#x20AC;? said Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As it was approaching from the north, there was a moderate southerly wind and temperatures rose to 26C â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a beautiful late summer afternoon because all the air was mixing along the front.â&#x20AC;? As the front went through at 5 p.m., the wind rapidly shifted to the north, delivering a maximum gust of 54 km/h in its haste. Temperatures dropped dramatically to 16 degrees within two hours, said Coldwells.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you stuck in a rut? The stars encourage you to stretch beyond your usual boundaries. Adventure awaits! Try to burn off excess energy through sporting activities or outdoor endeavours. Expect the sparks to fly on the weekend, as the Lunar Eclipse fires up relationships. Slow down Rams … otherwise you’re likely to over-react and do [or say] something that you later regret! TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s time to do other activities that draw on the richness of your imagination. Attached Bulls – make sure you jazz up the relationship with some spontaneous romantic gestures. Singles – you could find love via an unexpected introduction. Be emotionally honest with yourself. Feeling guilty about something you did in the past won’t help. Let bygones be bygones and move on. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pluto and Mercury retrograde stymie your style, as a project stalls and you may feel as if you’re going nowhere. Don’t give up Gemini! The stars are testing your stamina and persistence, so pick yourself up, take baby steps, and keep on keeping on. Venus encourages you to contribute more of your time and talents to a worthy cause within your local community. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancers can be overly cautious. When it comes to a sudden opportunity, don’t sit on it for too long. A snap decision could turn out surprisingly well! Attached Crabs – it’s time to buy a special gift for your partner. Singles – love and money are linked, so look for a potential partner who is involved in the financial industry, or is marvelous at managing their own money. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Expect some intense encounters with others. It’s not a good week to make witty wisecracks or pass on gratuitous gossip, as people will be easily offended. If you are too hasty on the weekend, then you could find yourself headed for an argument [or even an accident]. Take particular care when walking and driving! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s time to seize the day and get on your way! Proceedings will be slowed down but that’s no excuse to put things off indefinitely. Just make sure you allow plenty of extra time, as projects will be slowed down or even delayed. With a back-up plan [and plenty of persistence] you can still achieve great things.

YOUR

Sudoku

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s a good week to revise paperwork, revisit old research and tie up loose-ends – but avoid starting any new projects until after October 9. Unresolved problems from the past could also come back to test you. Don’t dither Libra! Make a commitment to resolve these issues once and for all. Love-at-first-sight is likely for some lucky single Librans. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Resist the urge to obsess over situations this week. Other people may criticize your plans or reject your ideas but try not to take it personally. Inner compulsions and hidden obsessions are likely to go into overdrive on the weekend, as the Super Moon Lunar Eclipse stimulates your unconscious mind. So pace yourself and strive to keep things in perspective. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Are you interested in growing, learning and becoming a better and more mature person? With Saturn moving through your sign for the next two years, it’s the perfect time to eradicate bad habits and re-structure your persona into the updated version you’d prefer. It will take time, energy and discipline, but is well worth the effort. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This week your talent for criticism is highlighted, as you critique the efforts of those around you. Or a loved one or work colleague may criticise YOUR performance. They mean well so try not to be offended. Be prepared for some domestic dramas and family fiascos on the weekend, as Sunday night’s Lunar Eclipse stimulates your home zone. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Articulate your expectations, and make sure you understand what others expect from you. Relationships present some drama and a sprinkle of spontaneity. Attached Aquarians – Do something spontaneous with your lover. Singles – be adventurous and cast your net wide. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Mars moves into your love zone on Friday, so being passive aggressive is out, and being proactive is in. When it comes to shopping, avoid making expensive impulse purchases that you later regret. If you have financial worries, talk things through with an accountant or money-savvy friend for some direction.

Election 2015

Offering an alternative Profile: Chris George represents the Green Party. By Lachlan Labere

Enter To Win a Luxurious Hawaiian Holiday for Two*

OBSERVER STAFF

To former Conservative voters in the NorthOkanagan Shuswap riding still on the fence, Chris George offers what may seem an unconventional solution: vote Green. Of course, a vote for the Green Party of Canada in the riding would be a vote for George, the party’s local candidate. Offering himself as an option for the undecided is George’s logical approach to the conundrum, based on an understanding that voters haven’t forgotten past Liberal (federally) and NDP (provincially) governments, and how he, as a Green MP, wouldn’t be encumbered by ideology or party line – that Greens can stick their necks out when needed to represent their ridings. “I can actually work together with different interests and different groups in the riding to come up with a consensus of opinion that I can then take to Ottawa to fairly represent the people here,” said George. Chris George was elected the riding’s Green Party candidate in July. The Notch Hill resident who is currently pursuing a Bachelor of General Studies, brings with him a diverse background in small business, three decades of volunteering, an affinity for information, numbers and policy and the experience of having run as the Shuswap’s B.C. Green Party candidate in the 2013 provincial election (in which he earned 2,186 votes – 9.26 per cent of the total vote).

Ballot box: Chris George of the Green Party says he’s a good choice for disillusioned voters. George says he also used to vote for the Progressive Conservative/ Social Democratic parties. “My parents were both small business people, this was their political agenda and I just sort of inherited it,” said George. “They always instilled in me that voting was a right, privilege and a duty, so I’ve gone out of my way to make sure that I’ve voted in every single election that I was eligible to do so.” But George said he was never satisfied with the partisan nature of politics and the simplified paradigms of left- and right-wing. It wasn’t until he heard a speech by former Green Party of Canada leader Jim Harris that George found a place to hang his hat. “He said their policy was economically conservative, socially responsible and environmentally sound, and that really struck a chord with me,” said George, who describes himself as a fiscally conservative person with a social conscience. George contests the

notion that the Greens are a party that only says “no.” He says this is the response only to extremist positions where an unbalanced approach is being taken. He points to the tar sands for example, noting the Greens are not looking to shut them down, but to stop their expansion, and instead start putting resources into secondary industry, such as refining, not in China but on Canadian soil. “If we actually deal with that product in Edmonton, we can run it through a state-ofthe-art refinery with appropriate environmental controls and make sure those jobs for Canadians aren’t being exported,” said George. One concern for George in this elec-

tion is that people will be voting strategically, driven by personality over the issues. He calls this a mistake, one to which issues surrounding climate change, economic inequality and even health care have taken a back seat. He says this way of thinking only propagates the kind of apathy that kept 33,980 eligible voters from casting a ballot in 2013. One way of changing this, he says, is to have leaders who inspire, who are willing and able to speak from the heart, without script. “I think we need to roll back a generation, I guess, back to when people were aspirational and people actually voted what was in their hearts and kind of let the chips fall where they may.”

Singing for change Harperman: YouTube song critical of Prime Minister makes debut in town. By Martha Wickett OBSERvER STAFF

“Who controls our Parliament? Harperman, Harperman. Who squashes all dissent? Harperman, Harperman” About 50 people, including the nine on stage, gathered to sing the Harperman protest song at the Ross Street Plaza on Thursday, July 17. They were part of a cross-Canada singalong set for a month before the federal election on Oct. 19. Several were dressed in NDP orange. The gathering was somewhat reminiscent of a ’60s protest, with the crowd warming up their vocals to the sound of Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, a folk song written by Pete Seeger in 1955 and later performed by such groups as Peter, Paul and Mary. Warren Bell introduced Harperman, stating the song written by Environment Canada scientist Tony Turner had received 651,000 hits on Youtube. He said Turner was given a leave of absence when his song became public “because he stepped out of line.”

Blu Hopkins was also on stage. “I couldn’t miss this, are you kidding?” he told the Observer, saying it brings back memories of the political protests of the ’70s. Diane Hould said she was present because of concerns about the environment. It seemed like a cheerful way to express an opinion that many people share – it’s time for a change in our political landscape.

North Shuswap said music, to her, is political. “It’s called stealth activism – playing good music with a message.” Eighty-five-year-old Wally Churchill from Chase played the guitar onstage. “It’s time we got rid of that person – I don’t like to use his name,” he told the Observer.

Mayor seeks UBCM spot Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper is running for another political position. Cooper has set her sights on second vice-president of the Union of BC Municipalities. She describes the process as “a wonderful opportunity to promote Salmon Arm.” She said she sent out a bio that is mostly about Salmon Arm to every municipality and regional district in B.C. Along with her professional background, it lists the city’s improved relations with First Nations, such as raising the Shuswap Nation

flag at city hall. She also refers to council’s receipt of the 2014 Open for Business Award and how the city, as a member of the Shuswap Watershed Council through the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, received a ‘Community Excellence Award’ for stewardship of Shuswap Lake. “Building relationships, taking care of business, looking after the environment are important areas of concern to all our B.C. communities and demonstrate my balanced approach to governance,” she states.

’Backs roll with momentum By Evan Buhler

OBSERVER STAFF

They may only be four games into the season, but the Salmon Arm Silverbacks are enjoying the view from atop the BCHL’s Interior Division. After their homeopener win against Penticton, the ’Backs downed division rivals Merritt on the road in a game that was on a knife’s edge, winning 7-5 last Tuesday. Returning home for two games against Mainland Division teams, the Silverbacks dispatched the Coquitlam Express 6-0 on Saturday, and tied Chilliwack 4-4 in a Sunday matinee. Summersigning, Brett Stewart scored his first goal in a ’Backs’ sweater from the blue line with a man advantage, and Nick Hutchison and Ross Heidt also picked up goals in the first period. The Centennials’ offence fizzled out in the second period, and the Silverbacks capitalized when Carson Bolduc struck twice drawing level at five. Early on in the third period, Marcus Mitchell scored his first career BCHL goal, which ended up being the eventual

game winner. Heidt added an insurance goal for the Silverbacks, his second of the game. On Saturday evening, Angus Redmond picked up his first shutout of the season in an impressive display of offence by the Silverbacks. Matty Saharchuk scored just over three minutes into the contest and the gorillas never looked back, as Josh Blanchard, Bolduc and Heidt hit the Express for four straight power-play goals, before Hutchison wrapped up the scoring in the third period. The ’Backs offence rifled an impressive 62 shots on Coquitlam’s starting goaltender Tyger Howat, while the Express were only able to muster 19 shots themselves. Taro Hirose, Bolduc and Heidt started the game against Chilliwack for the ’Backs, arguably one of the league’s best lines so far this season, combining for 17 points in just three games. Getting the nod in goal for Salmon Arm was Zach Dyment, and he was busy from the start of the game, shutting the door on a Chiefs breakaway only 30 sec-

Late effort: The Silverbacks’ Nick Hutchison holds off Chiefs defenceman Mark Esposito as he fires a close-range shot on Chiefs goaltender Aidan Pelino in the second period of overtime, in a game that finished 4-4, at the Shaw Centre on Sunday, Sept. 20. onds into the game. Just a minute-anda-half after Chilliwack opened up a 2-0 lead before the midway point in the period, goals from Saharchuk and Heidt tied the game. Saharchuk’s goal was the result of a relentless forecheck led by workhorse Colton Thibault, which led to a Chilliwack mistake and a bit of luck as Saharchuk found the net from a nearly impossible angle in the corner. Blink and you would miss Heidt’s leagueleading sixth goal of the season scored on a two-

on-one with Bolduc, only 36 seconds after Saharchuk’s goal. Chilliwack would score once more in the period, which led to Dyment being pulled after giving up three goals on only six shots. On the power-play, California import, Jared Turcotte scored his first BCHL goal, levelling the score at three. After the high-octane start to the game, play in the second period slowed down and Chilliwack looked to sit on their one-goal lead after Jordan Kawaguchi put them ahead 4-3.

With six minutes left in the game, Hutchison scored an equalizer, which breathed life back ion the game. Overtime was needed to decide the game, but after 10 minutes and several great saves by both Redmond and Aidan Pelino, the game ended tied 4-4, with both teams splitting the two points.

participated in the 12th annual Kids’ Try-a-Tri triathlon. The local athletes with the fastest times over the age of 14 were awarded the Kimmy Bews Memorial Award. Julia Brown took

home the award as the top local female athlete, while Stephen Moore was the top local male athlete. Katy Calkins and Cole Maybee set the benchmark in their respective under-seven

divisions. Ryder Mead and Lucas Hansen tied for top spot in the boy’s 8-9 division while Sara Worton won the girls division. In the 10-11 age division, Julianne Moore

and Jacob Hepburn won their respective divisions. Because the race was on the same day as the Terry Fox Run, organizers donated part of the race entry to the Terry Fox Foundation.

Wild weather can’t dampen players’ spirits Mother Nature decided to throw a wrench into the gears of the 2015 SASCU Open Tournament, which took place at the Salmon Arm Tennis Club over the weekend. Due to the poor weather on Saturday many athletes decided to withdraw from the competition, leaving organizers to rework the tournament schedule. Despite the damp weather on Saturday, play resumed Sunday much to the delight of the athletes who decided to wait. The final match in the women’s A doubles division proved to be a crowd pleaser as it went the distance in a tiebreaker. Marietjie du Plessis and Loree Boyd defeated fellow Salmon Arm Tennis Club members Shannon Hecker and Marianne VanBuskirk 4-6, 6-1, 10-5. The tournament’s big

winners were Kelowna UBCO students Brandon Fung and Audrey Chu who both won their singles A events as well their mixed A doubles event. Chu and Fung defeated Eva Koksalova and Cal Benazic 7-5, 6-4 in the mixed A doubles. Mixed B doubles winners were Marianne VanBuskirk and Bob Langford over Marietjie du Plessis and Erasmus Bonthuys 6-1, 6-4. Men’s A double partners Joe McFadden and Dan Wark outlasted Bob Langford and George Koscis 7-6, 6-4. Fung defeated McFadden 6-0, 6-1 in the men’s A singles, and in the women’s A singles it was Audrey Chu over Eva Koksalova 6-2, 7-6.

Under the Friday night lights, the Salmon Arm Secondary Golds kick-started their exhibition season with a 32-2 win over the Westsyde Bluewaves.

The Golds stormed out to a commanding 20-0 lead after the first quarter, thanks to a touchdown from Robert, his first of two on the night. Robert’s 103 rushing yards helped propel the Golds to the commanding win. Led by Sage King on defence, the Golds did not allow the Bluewaves to score on offence, giving up two

Peewee Chargers earn win Home field advantage went the way of the Salmon Arm peewee Chargers as they hosted the Kamloops Broncos last Sunday in their home opener. In a defensive battle, the Chrgers were able to defeat Kamloops 21-8. Scoring for the chargers was Dominic Kemitzis, running behind the solid blocking of the Chargers’ offensive line. Ethan McPherson earned player of the game honours for his monster performance on defence and the huge holes he created for the Chargers’ running backs. The Chargers will face Kamloops again next weekend at Little Mountain at noon.

Power in written word Book fest: Esteemed writers part of inaugural event.

By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Elizabeth Hay and Eleanor Wachtel, host of CBC Radio’s Writers & Company, are two internationally renowned writers presenting in Shuswap Book Fest, a community event that aims to bring book lovers and writers together and build public dialogue and discussion. Hay, is the author of the #1 nationally bestselling novel Alone in the Classroom, the Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning novel Late Nights On Air, as well as three other award-winning works of fiction, A Student of Weather, Garbo Laughs, and Small Change. Formerly a radio broadcaster, she spent a number of years in Mexico and New York City before returning to Canada. She lives in Ottawa. An avid reader, Hay is forthright about the importance books play in her life. “Books for me are a source of sanity, comfort and release,” says the author who will make a presentation at 7 p.m. Friday at the Salmar Classic. “My life has always been books; it’s how I got through childhood and how I get through difficulties…” Hay will introduce her new book, His Whole Life. Hay says her new novel is an exploration of the relationship between a mother and son. “I wanted to have divided loyalties at the heart of the book,” she says, noting the story covers a span of seven years. “He’s an American boy with an American father and a Canadian mother. He lives in New York and every year he goes up to an Ontario Lake to spend time with his mother.” Hay says inspiration for her novels comes from the things that preoccupy her. “I have a son and daughter so naturally

Authors of note: Elizabeth Hay, top, and right, Eleanor Wachtel will be presenters in Okanagan College’s first Shuswap Book Fest Oct. 1 and 2 at the Salmar Classic. I am interested in relationships between parents and children,” she says, noting she is married to an American and has aunts and uncles who moved to the States. “I lived in New York for six years so the tug between two places has been a huge part of my life.” While she has read books exploring similar themes, Hay did not think they had delved deeply enough into the issues. In His Whole Life, Mom Nan also has an estranged son about eight years older. “At the heart is the attachment between a mother and her boy. She is aware she will lose him (as he grows up), a kind of dispersal that’s very loaded emotionally,” she says. “I explore emotionally loaded territory, frequently in family life.” Hay describes readers as solitary people, who enjoy very private pleasure and says book fests bring people together, creating a shared experience. “It’s really marvellous to talk about something you’ve just read,

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE it makes experience last longer,” she says. Hay will be interviewed on stage by Okanagan College English professor Alix Hawley, whose latest book All True Not a Lie in It won the Amazon. ca/Walrus First Novel Award in 2015. Presenting at 7 p.m. Oct. 1, Eleanor Wachtel is the host and co-founder of CBC Radio’s Writers & Company, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this season. She is the winner of the New York Festivals Award. She also hosts Wachtel on the Arts, which features the best artists from around the world. Wachtel’s most recent books are Original Minds and Random Illuminations: Conversations With Carol Shields. Wachtel has been widely recognized for her contributions to Canadian cultural life, including eight honorary degrees and Officer of the Order of Canada. Her unique talk, The Lives of Writers, will include interview clips with great writers and will look at several as-

pects of the relationship between the writer, their work and the readers. Shuswap Book Fest promoter Miki Andrejevic worked for an entire year with Okanagan College (president Jim Barmby to put what is hoped will become an annual event. “The concept was to create a community engaging festival,” says Andrejevic, who has produced a number of different festivals. A graduate in law from University of Belgrade, Grant MacEwan University’s arts administration program, and the Banff Centre Arts Management Program, Andrejevic has a long and distinguished career in arts management. “I volunteered to do this one; this is my contribution to my community,” says Andrejevic, who has a home in the North Shuswap and plans to retire to the region he loves in the near future.

Butt having a gas on the road By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF

Multi award-winning Canadian comic Brent Butt is a happy guy who will share his hilarious take on life at the Salmar Classic on Monday, Oct. 5. “I always try to look at the bright side; it’s always been my default setting,” says the creator of the wildly popular sitcom Corner Gas, who finds many things funny. “I’m a pretty eclectic guy with a diverse taste in comedy – goofy things, physical things, wordsubtle – anything that kind of catches me off guard with a smart, clever twist.” Eclectic comedy was the hallmark of Corner Gas, which ran from 2004 to 2009 in the sleepy town of Dog River, Sask. “We didn’t really censure what kind of comedy we were gonna do; if the writers came up with funny word joke or something physical, we included it,” he says, pointing out it didn’t matter if it was broad

or subtle, if it was funny, he wanted to find a place to put it in the show. “Authenticity is the key to everything, especially comedy. Corner Gas took home three Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television awards, two Geminis and several Canadian Comedy Awards for Television. Asked why he thinks the show became a worldwide sensation, Butt says when the writers and stellar cast were first making Corner Gas, they assumed it would be a fun summer – end of story. “We felt we had somehow tricked the network,” he says, pointing out nobody worried about a second season. “We only focused on doing a show we liked, and we were proud of…” Whenever the show went on hiatus, Butt was back on the road doing stand-up routines, something that earned him the Canadian Comedy Award for Live/Best Male Stand-up. “Stand-up has always been my thing;

the thing I wanted to do from the time I was 13 and before Corner Gas came up,” he says. “I don’t know why but it’s where I feel the most at home. For whatever reason, it’s the place I feel most myself. It’s the other 23 hours a day I don’t know what I am meant to be doing.” Inspiration comes at many times and in many places so Butt has learned to carry a small notebook in which he jots down ideas. “I shudder to think of the times I didn’t write it down,” he says noting that over his long and successful stand-up run, his eyes and ears have become trained to differentiate between what will work and what won’t. Butt says each show is fresh thanks to the changing audience dynamics. “When you get hundreds of people in the same room, there’s no way for it to be the same every time,” he says. “You have to think on your feet; there’s no way to not

With their special training, these RNs work to provide a wide range of services and education from their public health units, and this includes work with our children on issues specific to them. Public health nurses point out that there is a strong connection between health and many environmental factors, so they teach kids about the practice of good health habits. In addition to running immunization clinics, offering counseling and sexual health programs for teenagers, public health nurses have expertise when kids need help with speech, language, hearing or vision issues. Parents can access public health for assistance and counseling. Take a look, for example, at the Healthy Schools program which was initiated to ensure overall fitness, well-being and proper nutrition.

250 832-8229 or 515-1476

By working with whole communities, public health nurses educate and counsel patients, monitor health trends and identify health factors specific to that location. They use their expertise to design and deliver health education campaigns and implement disease-prevention and screening activities to keep kids healthy. So as children go back to class, it’s good to know there are skilled and educated health advocates on our side. More information is available at www.ona.org/RNs. www.newscanada.com

Farewell Salmon Arm, and Thank You!

It is with excitement and regret that we leave Salmon Arm after 24 years. We are excited to begin the next chapter in our lives. We plan to retire and live near children and grandchildren. We are sad to say farewell to our two and four-legged friends. Thank you Salmon Arm, for allowing us to care for your pets at Birch Valley Kennels. We will miss the people and dogs who came to Canada West Canine Centre for obedience classes, agility, and rally. You will still find these services at this property. We will also greatly miss the SilverBacks hockey. Go Backs Go!

Thank you and best wishes to all. ~ Floyd & Marion Jobson

NEWSHAM, GEORGE PAUL Sang his last song Sept. 10, 2015 George was born January 14, 1928. He is predeceased by his loving wife Joan, son Gary, grandson Dustin, sisters Betty and Louise. He will be remembered by Millie, sister Caroline, son Terry (Donna), daughters Georgina (Kerry) and Caroline (Darcy), 6 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, 3 great-great grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. George enjoyed life: travelling, camping, golfing, curling and singing the tunes of Wilf Carter. He shared his love of music with everyone. Younger years were spent raising his family, logging, fishing and hunting on the Sunshine Coast (Sechelt). A special thank you to the caring and compassionate staff at Salmon Arm hospital and Kelowna hospital. Friends and family are gathering at the Senior Citizens Hall, 170 - 5th Ave. S.E., Salmon Arm, September 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. to celebrate his life and share stories.

Johnson, Katherine passed away peacefully at the Comox Valley Seniors Village on September 15, 2015. She was predeceased by Husband Arthur Johnson in 2003, and by parents Jacob and Sara (nee Enns) Martens. Her siblings; Sister Erna (George deceased) Thiessen, Brothers Henry (deceased) and wife Anne still alive, Jake (Sarah) and John (Susan), Brother-in-law Roy Johnson (Minnie) and one Daughter Verna (Wayne) Llemky. The light of her life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; grandson, Brad McEwen whom she looked after every summer during his growing up years. Several other special grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews who we were very close to in our younger years. Kay was born in Graysville, Manitoba. The family resided there until she was about 15 when they moved to the beautiful Fraser Valley. The family struggled and worked very hard in the depression and they all became quite successful because they are all hard working, caring and generous folks. Mom graduated from MEI in Abbotsford. She then took her nursing degree at Royal Columbian Hospital and graduated in 1951. She took on her first job in Cranbrook and met and married Art there. Mom worked in many towns in British Columbia, mostly in the OR and ER until she retired at 65. She took a brief hiatus from nursing to own a florist shop in Revelstoke where there was only shift work in the hospital and she could not adjust to that so dad bought her a business. She kept a very strong connection with her nursing classmates for most of her life. Mom spent her whole life helping others. After she retired, she immediately started volunteering for Hospice on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake where there were no doctors. In 1996, mom and dad moved to Comox to be closer to us. As soon as she got here, she volunteered at the Filberg Lodge. Mom also looked after my dad for 10 years of ill health and when he passed away in 2003, she moved to live next to St. Josephs General Hospital. She fed the residents every day at lunch and dinner for several years. She was enjoying life to the fullest with walking, knitting, taking in plays with friends and helping in the hospital. So sadly, that fun time of her life was very short. She was run over by a car when she was in a crosswalk and was never able to live independently again. After long months of rehab, mom lived in Berwick for several years. When she was needing more help, she moved over to the Comox Valley Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village. In both residences, the staff and other residents became like a family to mom and to her daughter as well. Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the residents and staff in both buildings she lived for their caring and sharing. Mom had her own family â&#x20AC;&#x153;care giverâ&#x20AC;? at CVSV that was the epitome of perfection at her profession. Mom fought through many serious illnesses and accidents in her life and never complained but she finally just got tired of being so tough. Two very special ladies helped her through this phase, taking her for drives and walks and ice cream. They gave mom many wonderful hours of enjoyment. She was very fortunate to have Eda and Anne as friends. Kay did not like to be in the limelight or have any fanfare for her. Therefore, the family will respect her wishes that there be no service. She will be cremated and her ashes will join her husband and other family members. Donations to the charity of your choice in her name would be greatly appreciated.
