Roots & Blues makes a rebound
Festival: Organizers believe this year’s event broke even, planning already underway for 2016. By Barb Brouwer OBSeRVeR STAFF
It looks like commitment, careful spending and reshaping have crafted a future for the Roots and Blues Festival. Brenda M’clellan secretary and member of the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society board, says that with a lot of hard work, it looks like the festival broke even this year – a far cry from the doom and gloom of a year ago. “In each of the areas, we’re above where we were in 2014, due to the city giving us extra money,” M’cllelan says, noting the society did get a gaming grant, but because there was no Routes and Blues this year,
it was scaled back a bit. “But we had increased the raffle (price) so it provided us with additional funding and helped close the gap. each raffle was $20 and it netted about $12,000.” M’clellan says the improved financial picture is also thanks to in-kind sponsorship from the community. “We go out to the community and they responded in a wonderful way,” she says, pointing out in-kind sponsorship increased to $175,000 from the previous $100,000. “We offered them new opportunities and things to do, such as feeding the volunteers as well as other products we get and adding shade… all of that put us ahead.” On the expense side, M’clellan says

about $100,000 was shaved from the budget. “We were able to turn things around; we’re still a bit challenged on the final bottom line and we do not have a positive net
income,” she says noting the drop in the canadian dollar was a huge issue as many of the artists are paid in u.S. dollars. “We have plans in place for the next three or four months and expect to be there next year.” M’clellan referred to the new and fresh look at the festival that included adding buskers and clowns along with a slate of great performers. While credit for the artist lineup goes to artistic director Peter north, many of the new innovations were thanks to david Gonella, who returned to the festival after a two-year absence. “I designed it to hide the stuff that we reSee Budget on page A2

Continued from front moved; my whole idea was that everywhere you looked, there was something to engage our patrons and we’re gonna build on that next year,” he said. “A lot of people said having fewer stages afforded people the opportunity to see more acts.” Gonella says his patron engagement plan was designed to remove the feeling that festivalgoers were walking through an outdoor mall on their way from one stage to another. “This is really a team effort to make this happen; Peter (North) was on the same page – even the ideas I had like Levis,” said Gonella of hanging jeans to provide shade. “Peter was in agreement, I think he just wondered how I was gonna do it.” Gonella spent over a decade as a director/ producer in film in San Francisco and Vancouver, but says he never got enough work.

they left that they want to come back,” he said. Back in Edmonton last week, North said he is hearing the same kind of positive comments. “The ripple that I hear from other communities is that we did a bang-up job; people dug the presentation and improvements to the site,” he said, noting the comments are also coming in from the artistic directors of many other festivals who were here in August. “What I think, quite frankly, is that 90 per cent of the audience has gone away and told people ‘I’m going back
again next year and you should come too.’” North says the great thing is the people who are shelling out the money are the ones saying those things rather than the organizers. “David and I have a killer relationship, we work well together,” he said, agreeing with Gonella that administrator Cindy Diotte rounds out the well-oiled team.

Access an issue at grandstand Fairgrounds: Association will consider options to help disabled. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Bob Baker was looking forward to watching the chuck wagon races at the Salmon Arm Fair this year. Bob and his spouse Shari showed up at the grandstand in plenty of time, but things did not work out as hoped. Bob uses a walker, so climbing the stairs is impossible. He decided to try sitting on his walker near the stairs behind the fence, but that didn’t work either. Not only could he not see the racers properly from his vantage point, the sun was blazing down. “What I was thinking is if they could put one of those opensided tents across from the grandstands, where first aid is,” Bob suggested. “You could see everything from there, have a little sunshade, maybe have a chair…” He said a couple of people had pushed wheelchairs to the area where he was, but they gave up as there was no place to sit and the sun was so hot. “It sure would be nice if we could have just a little place,” he says. Shari echoes her agreement. “I think it would be a good idea if they could make a safe place for the disabled to watch
the shows. Bob sat in the sun and he couldn’t even see who won.” She says she and Bob love the fair. “Bob used to be a hobby farmer, he used to show goats. He just loves to see the animals and of course we have to wander through and buy something. I was so excited the mini chuck wagon races were there.” She suggests perhaps a small ramp and platform could be made. “It doesn’t have to be extravagant,” she says, emphasizing it’s a matter of treating people in a way that upholds their dignity. Shari suggests some people with disabilities probably don’t even attempt coming to the grandstand shows. “We can’t see it anyway, so why bother?” she surmises. Star McGregor, fair committee chair, remembers the Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake Agricultural Association applied for a grant to address accessibility, but wasn’t successful. “I know we did apply for a heritage grant and then didn’t get it – for just that thing, accessibility on the grounds, maybe 2012. I don’t think as a board, we’ve addressed that issue again,” she said, noting that improvements wouldn’t just be for the

She said the board is currently focusing on fixing up the concession inside the indoor arena. “It certainly sounds like an area we’ve neglected. It looks like we should look at it again.” Phil Wright, president of the association, said renovations were made to the announcer’s booth a couple of years ago when a local couple complained about difficulties watching the grandstand shows. He said the change wasn’t completely successful, as it didn’t provide a high enough vantage point.
Wright said a ramp for the grandstand itself would have to be about 200 feet long, so “we’re casting about how to have a slightly raised platform to bring them in on – and that’s where we’re at.” He said the association hopes to apply for infrastructure money through the Canada 150 funding, but that’s for the future and won’t help the current situation. Wright said the board is always willing to listen and he is pleased the issue was brought to his attention. “We’ll pursue it and see what kind of numbers we’re looking at.”

DAC’s long-term future in doubt School district: Facility plans call for eventual sale of building. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
The SASCU Downtown Activity Centre, next to the new school board office, is destined for ‘disposal,’ but not everyone is pleased with the plan. The status of the DAC, as it’s commonly called, was laid out in the Long Term Facility Plan commissioned by School District #83. The plan states it is a one-acre property and has been subdivided for future disposal, meaning sale. Gary Greenhough, the school district’s acting secretary-treasurer, said the DAC is now being leased on a month-to-month basis, but negotiations for a five-year lease are underway. That lease would be back-dated and would expire on April 30, 2018. He said the board has already passed a disposal bylaw for the DAC property, but no process has been initiated yet to dispose of it. There are no structural issues with the building, he said, but it was built in 1921 to serve its former purpose as Salmon Arm Elementary and has undergone subsequent additions. “It is past its building life cycle,” he said, noting it would be expensive to renovate or update systems. “We’re not looking to be upgrading or investing in the building. For instance, there’s no
air conditioning in the building.” If sold, the sale “would assist the district in funding future capital projects,” Greenhough said. Superintendent Glenn Borthistle said the board is certainly aware of the building’s use. “I think we’ve been pretty open with them that this is a possibility, that the building will be sold,” he said, noting groups have been told they will need to find other locations in the future. As for when, he said the board would provide sufficient notice to both the city and the board’s tenants. “The board would provide a letter to the city that is going to inform them about the lease period and that the board may be disposing of the property when the lease expires.” He said that would probably take place a year in advance of the lease’s expiry. Kim Sinclair, executive director of Aspiral Youth Partners Association, still holds out hope the building could be retained for its current uses – at least for a longer period. “Our hope is to extend it,” he says of the lease. “They’re talking two-and-a-half to three years. We feel this is a pretty valuable asset in the community. We’d love to have more conversation to see what we can do to keep it

Crime is down, reports Staff Sgt. Scott West. West addressed city council recently and said Criminal Code cases and property crimes are down 19 per cent from 2013. He said Salmon Arm is victimized by travelling criminals but, overall, “it seems as if we’re seeing a down-
ward trend in the Salmon Arm area.” Referring to statistics from April through June, West said officers were busy on the highways. About 390 drivers were charged or issued warnings during that period, while there were more than 400 from July to September. “So over 700 warnings and charges in the past six months,” he reported.

We think that will suffer. It’s been very well-used by parts of our community on an ongoing basis.” He said the air cadets just joined the centre two weeks ago, and the Kids’ Club daycare has expanded. “The radio station is still going strong. We have a program for teens with disabilities in the basement, part of the children’s association. It’s called The Loft. There’s tons of
stuff going on.” Sinclair said his main hope is that more discussion will take place before a final decision is made. Sinclair says current users and uses of the centre include: badminton, Salmon Arm pipe band, cello lessons, duplicate bridge, meditation, Questers, Toastmasters, gospel coffeehouse, Metis coffeehouse, Shuswap Daycare, Narcotics Anonymous, Salmon Arm actors, Responsible Drivers program, Round dancing, midget hockey, lacrosse, Shuswap miners, Shuswap women’s rec soccer, Canadian Mental Health Association, Employer’s

said he wished to thank officers and Citizens on Patrol for their presence during the start to the school year. “It was certainly evident in my school zone (Hillcrest Elementary),” he said. Harrison asked about false and abandoned 911 calls and false alarms, noting they make up just over 30 per cent of total calls for service. West said there isn’t much police can do,
but they do give talks in schools to discourage false calls. “The issue is where you give the phone to the child in the back seat for games and they hit 911 – there’s no way of tracing it as there’s no contract for it.” He said the police get many of them because of the large amount of highway traffic. “Those numbers are not out of line from what we see in other communities.”

Salmon Arm grapples with bad debts By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Nine accounts receivable were recorded as bad debts at council’s Sept. 14 meeting, including the cost of damage to a prison cell at the Salmon Arm RCMP Detachment caused by a local citizen. City documents say the courts gave the man until June 2014 to reimburse the city the $259.90 owing, but no funds have been forthcoming. Also heading to bad debts was $650 from a tenant for the January 2015 rent for a city-owned house at 541 Third St. SW. The tenant was asked to leave so the
house could become the headquarters for the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society. Another outstanding receivable of $4,513.22, related to a 1994 issue regarding offsite servicing for phases one and two of Pheasant Heights subdivision, was turned over to bad debts. The city document states the company no longer exists in the corporate registry and has no property listed under its name. Two accounts receivable related to Clare’s Cove Marina Ltd., one for $35,098.86 and another, which includes other debtors, was for $210,297.66. The two will be forwarded to a collection agency.
Seven of the bad debts totalling $5,807.49 will be funded out of the city’s ‘reserve for doubtful accounts’ and the final two, at $251,204.38, from the ‘special reserve for doubtful accounts.’ “I would like to point out by recording these receivables as bad debts, it in no way makes them less payable, and staff will do anything possible to collect the debt,” chief financial officer Monica Dalziel told council. Mayor Nancy Cooper commented: “This is just the dollar value, but not the amount of staff time – it would be more than double this.” Agreed Dalziel: “There would be hundreds of hours.”
Problems with people camping in the rec centre parking lot have highlighted the need for a new city approach to the issue. At its Sept. 14 meeting, council decided to have staff prepare a report before deciding on a course of action. The issue came to a head when people camping during an August hockey event kept residents in neighbouring Creekside townhomes awake with their all-night partying, which included loud, crude language, and relieving themselves on nearby lawns. Dale Berger, general manager of the Shuswap Recreation Society, told council there are gaps in how camping is handled. “It’s not something we condone or actually even know about until after the fact,” he said, noting neighbouring residents have said there was more camping recently. “It doesn’t seem to be applicable to any tournament or event.” He said posting signs has been discussed, with possibly a designated area, but added there is typically no bylaw enforcement on weekends.
“Maybe by the Lifetime Fitness parking lot might be more appropriate,” he said, adding that a spot that doesn’t intrude on residences would be best. Kevin Pearson, the city’s director of development services, said the area near Mino’s Restaurant would be another possibility.
Dale Berger REC SOCIETY MANAGER
It’s not something we condone or actually even know about until after the fact.
Coun. Tim Lavery pointed to the inconsistency of the current procedure. “It seems ironic when groups come forward expressly to request permission (as the swimming club did) … but it seems we’re saying you can park in a designated
area without permission of the city.” He asked if the plan is to designate an area for camping. Pearson replied: “We haven’t really got there yet – a specific location where RVs could be parked, or whether they should be parked there at all.” Near the end of the meeting, Barb Angrignon, a resident of Creekside Townhomes, said her concern is with campsites set up next to residences. “If you’re going to allow parking on a piece of pavement with no bathroom facilities, there’s something wrong with this picture.” She said on the night brought to council’s attention, 30 to 35 units were parked in the rec centre parking lot with generators running all night and tents all over. Mayor Nancy Cooper asked Angrignon if she thinks washroom facilities are required. She replied that they’re not wanted near residences, and issues beyond noise and wastewater need to be addressed. “We certainly hope there’s a remedy to this. We really don’t want bathrooms outside our backyard either.” Staff will prepare a report for council.

The child-care conundrum
When I was in Grade 4, I envied my neighbour, “the latchkey kid.” For a couple hours, before her mom got back from work, she had the freedom to open her own front door and rummage through her fridge and cupboards, like only the big people could do at my house. She had candy and could eat it whenever she wanted. Nobody was debriefing her on the day’s events with the intensity of an army investigator. There were no demands to walk her dogs at 3:30 p.m. on the dot. Those are the days I’ve been thinking about all week, with the B.C. Supreme Court decision that backed the assertion eightyear-old children are too young to be left home alone. The decision upheld an earlier provincial court decision to slap an interim supervision order on a Terrace woman, barring her from leaving her eight-year-old child alone at home. The unidentified single mother was leaving her son home to fend for himself for a few hours each weekday, like countless moms before her. A neighbour complained to social workers, and the social worker filed a report to the provincial court, and the director of Child and Family Services brought an application for a supervision order stipulating that the boy’s care must be supervised for six months. The provincial court judge took that testimony seriously, and ruled that children younger than 10 could not be safely left alone. The mother appealed the decision, contending there was no basis for the judge to conclude the eight-year-old was in need of protection but BC Supreme Court Justice Robert Punnett held up the decision this week. Personally, I agree with the court decisions. All you have to do is speak to a child who is eight years old to realize they couldn’t respond to worst case scenarios in the way that’s needed. Life, however, is increasingly complicated and expensive. The ’80s are dead and gone. Neighbourhoods are no longer networks of families able to step in when another steps out, like mine was. Worse, however, is that being a stay-at-home parent isn’t just a crimp on spending, for many it’s a financial killer. The only people I know who are able to do it, are ones who have had the realization that daycare for multiple children costs more in this day and age, than they are able to earn. So I can’t help but wonder if the conversation about this particular news item is missing the point. If this woman had access to affordable childcare for the required time frame, would she even be rationalizing the decision? While the court decision reflects my beliefs on whether children should stay at home, it also reminds me that Canadians need to demand more from their country. Nothing is more important than providing safe child care at an affordable cost. Even if you don’t have children anymore, the value of that service should seem obvious. So much more obvious than whether or not we should still have latchkey kids. It’s an issue in this year’s election and it’s one I hope everyone thinks seriously about.

Editorial
Parents hit with levy in disguise The province has stuck it to parents again. On Monday, the Ministry announced a teacher training program for its new curriculum, which includes 10 hours of “noninstructional time” this year to learn the material. The kicker for school boards, who are already grappling with tight budgets, is there will be no new money to fund the training program, so the costs must be worked into already implemented budgets. And, as though they are bestowing a great gift, the ministry announces that it will be up to local school boards to decide how this new training time is to be organized. What this really means is school districts
need to scrap days of instructional time for our kids translating into additional full days off school or cancelling classes early on some days. The government wants to give teachers training time, but who gets to subsidize it outside of the tax system? Parents. Straight in the pocketbook. There will be a direct cost to families forced to scramble to make arrangements and pay for child-care costs on the additional days off school for their children. Don’t be fooled. Be sure to mentally add this amount to what you already fork out in taxes.

The Observer asked: Should youth sports stop recording scores for children’s games?
Teena Gudjonson “No. Keeping score teaches kids winning, losing, accountability and work ethic.”
Brian Thiessen “No, kids need to learn how to win and lose. There are lessons to be learned from both.”
Sam Siddall “No, winning and losing in sports teaches you many important lessons that can be applied in the real world.”
Cal Kolaut “It’s good for kids to learn how to win and lose. But parents can get a little too involved in the score.”
Myrna Button “Yes, people need to learn how to compete against themselves and not others.”
Senior Satisfied by changes to Salmon Arm deserves thanks In regards to the story you ran on Clay Lank. I was introduced to Clay this past summer. He was helping out around his building, making sure everything was clean and tidy. There was construction going on next door and he loved to talk to the guys working, my husband being one of them. I brought my husband coffee one day and as I was walking into the building, came across Clay. He started up a conversation with me that I am sure could have gone on for many hours. My husband came and introduced me to Clay. Clay made me wish I had grandparents. He was so thoughtful, helpful, and happy. Not too many people in Clay’s shoes would be that happy. He lives by himself, not a lot to do, not a lot of money, no yard to work in, no family (that I am aware of) to share his time with, so he goes out and takes care of Salmon Arm. And what does Salmon Arm have to say to Clay? We’re going to fine you if you don’t stop taking care of our town. Clay will pick up debris, take care of fallen branches and pick up garbage that everyone else leaves around, but not a single thank you for his civic duties. I can’t believe he was cited for this. If anything, Clay should be given an award for being an outstanding member of this community. Citizen of the year. I just moved here from the Coast. If we had more people like Clay down there, I may not have wanted to move. Clay, you are an awesome guy. Keep up the good work. Some of us appreciate it. Carly Marchand-Jones
How lucky we are to have the reporting of clear, vibrant journalism by Tracy Hughes. The “Candidates share their news” (Sept. 23, 2015) is well-written and gives the reader an understanding of how undemocratic this election campaign is, and what a sham, and shame, to have a forum where no open questions from the floor could be asked. Tracy Hughes is continuing to serve Salmon Arm and Canoe (an area where I have
affiliations) as did Gordon Priestman. Back in the 1960s I had the backing of Gordon on two vital issues of long-needed change. After countless Salmon Arm council meetings and Gordon’s fair reporting, we, with the support of the community, achieved our fight albeit after nearly 40 years. Seven years have sped by since I was last here and it is gratifying to see a smokeless beehive burner at Canoe, and that the mill’s
profits now stay in B.C. And the legislation of recycling glass bottles, the campaign fought for by the Salmon Arm citizens, is still in effect with deposits and a necessary recycling industry. At the age of 91 I will return to New Zealand with the good news to my three families (all born in B.C.) and their offspring. Diana Dombroski
Harper’s stance on Israel, Ukraine applauded “You just changed my vote,” a lady said to me. Here is why. I said, “Before 2006, Canada was not a nation of any importance. This past eight years Canada has become world-renowned as the best country in the world. All thanks to the best prime minister
Canada has ever had. This brave man stands before the UN and fearlessly speaks out in favour of Israel and Ukraine, defending their right to exist. No other country leader has done that. Mr. Harper stands alone regardless of the “global” pressure to keep
silent in his defence of these two threatened countries. That’s courage. That’s why I’ll vote for him. Canada will survive because of his stand. Miriam Leggett
Expressing concern for offshore drilling plans Apparently Harper has granted Shell permission to drill for oil off the coast of Nova Scotia. This is right by the Sable Island National Park Reserve, which has the world’s largest breeding colony of grey seals in the Shelburne Basin. Shell’s application is risky. The company
would have 21 days to cap a blowout! The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board are the group who decide if Shell will have the go ahead. This group is corrupt! The Conservative government has appointed Douglas Gregory, a Shell executive to the
Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB) for 30 years! The corporate cronyism is unacceptable, and it puts our coast at risk! The CNSOPB must reject the application! Roger Gervais
Trans-Pacific Partnership threatens dairy industry If this Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty is signed by the Harper Conservatives (who are legally not the government during an election), Canada will not only be open to legal actions from any global corporation signing, if they feel their future profits might
suffer by our future legislation, but we will have to bring in American dairy products, which are loaded with Bovine Growth Hormone, dangerous to human health. I suggest that anyone who does not want to drink milk with Bovine Growth Hor-
mone, or feed it to their kids should immediately call or email their MP, and insist they not sign this deal. The deadline is in a few days; write today. Eva Lyman

comments from saobserver.net This is why we need STV or some other workable proportional voting system. Like Chris, I have voted for every major party, save Harper’s Conservative Party. The current Conservative Party is completely ideologically driven and is basically in the hands of an egocentric control freak. The old Progressive Conservatives actually had one
or two progressive ideas. - posted by Bob Byrne I don’t live in Salmon Arm anymore but I love McGuire Lake Park. I know Clay Lank and I think he should get an award for his service, not a ticket. - posted by Donna Clyde

Fourteen-hundred sheep and lambs passed through Salmon Arm last weekend on their annual trek from their summer range at Mara Meadows. The flocks are owned by Emil Anderson & Son, Tony Gibson and N. Blanc. The sheep were taken to the Mara range in early summer, but at that time the flock was much smaller than when it returned. The lambing season was a success and it is estimated that the flock increased by 125 per cent. On their arrival in Salmon Arm, the sheep were given a rest on the Burns’ property on the lakeshore.

Dragon boats to get renewed life By Barb Brouwer
Artist at work: Ted
OBSERVER STAFF
Left to the elements and birds under a Vancouver bridge, several tired-looking dragon boats will be restored to their former beauty here in Salmon Arm. Rooted in an ancient folk ritual, dragon boat races have been held for more than 2,000 years throughout southern China. The sport was introduced to Canada when the Chinese boats were donated to Expo ’86, the World Exposition on Transportation and Communication in Vancouver. “Several years later, the Vancouver Taiwanese Cultural Society introduced six of their traditional yellow cedar racing boats to Vancouver, bringing the complete collection to a total of 15 wooden dragon boats,” notes Ted Crouch, a Shuswap Association for Rowing and Paddling (SARP) director. “Following two decades of regular use by thousands of paddlers, they have been drydocked under the Burrard Street bridge since 2008 and each of the boats require varying degrees of restoration.” The Chinese Cultural Centre Dragon Boat Association (CCCDBA) who owned the boats was asked to move them or lose them to the landfill. After trying unsuccessfully to get a Lower Mainland club to take the boats, a ‘for-sale’ notice was posted on a Dragon Boat West web forum. Spying the notice, Crouch contacted the association beginning what he calls ‘the great dragon boat event.’ At the end of April, he and canoe restoration expert Ed Campbell drove to the Coast to learn their history and decide if the boats could be salvaged. “On the way back from Vancouver, we agreed, ‘it’s all or nothing,’” says an enthusiastic
Crouch watches as Ed Campbell carefully removes years of neglect from a teak dragon boat; Campbell shows off one of the Taiwanese boats.
Crouch of discovering that beneath the grunge lay the gorgeous teak of basically sound boats. “I felt we had a responsibility to the dragon boat community of Canada.” Eminently qualified to judge the condition of the boats, the semi-retired Campbell has taught several courses in log home construction and canoe building at the college level. Back in Salmon Arm, Crouch met with Mayor Nancy Cooper, Lana Fitt, manager of Salmon Arm Economic Development Society and Robyn Cyr, Columbia Shuswap Regional District economic development officer and Shuswap Tourism manager. “These women each saw the project as unique, with significant potential for skill training, community involvement and tourism development,” says Crouch, noting Okanagan College Salmon Arm dean Jim Barmby, also saw the possibilities. After getting the CCCDBA to donate rather than sell the boats, paddles and drums, the next hurdle was finding a way to get 15 40-foot boats, each weighing 1,400 pounds, from Vancouver to Salmon Arm. The Chinese association had access to a trailer and Dean Fortin, a longtime member of the Vancouver dragon-boating
community donated his expertise in transporting the boats. A business owner Crouch describes as a “strong, community minded” individual, offered secure, sheltered space for the restoration. “I have almost a mystical feeling about them,” said Campbell, gently rubbing the glorious teak his work has revealed on one of the boats last Friday. “It’s almost a living thing; the wood could go back more than 100 years.” And Campbell is ready to share his expertise. The not-for-profit Aspiral Youth Partners Association is preparing an application for a provincially administered community employment development grant. If approved, Aspiral will manage the yearlong project that would see up to 12 individuals gain marketable work experience to assist them in the development of new skills in woodwork, restoration, painting, power tool operation, personal management and team-
work, supported by short-term courses in work-place safety and first aid. “Ed is the heart and soul of what we are doing here,” says Crouch of Campbell’s passion for wood as well as teaching and business acumen. The CCCDBA donation was arrived at with the understanding that one of the restored dragon boats would be returned to the association. And while several of the boats will remain with SARP, Crouch and Campbell envision the restored works of art on display in a number of museums, airports and other venues. Passionate in his belief the wooden water craft must be preserved, Crouch intends to continue co-ordinating the restoration project, but other organizations and individuals are welcome to get onboard. To learn more about the project and how you can become involved, contact Crouch at 250-833-0332 or send an email to dragonboatdirector@gmail. com.

Shuswap riding keeps boundaries By Richard Rolke BLACK PReSS
Public pressure has forced the B.C. Boundaries Commission to back off a controversial plan to add a section of Greater vernon to the Shuswap riding. In its final report to the legislature, the commission has decided not to remove the Swan Lake area and a portion of the BX from vernonMonashee and place it in the Shuswap constituency. In its final report, the B.C. electoral Area stated that it’s proposal to move Swan Lake and part of the BX into the Shuswap was a result of needing to balance the number of voters in the constituencies. “If the MLA had be-
come Shuswap, residents would have had to drive up to the constituency office in Salmon Arm,” said Mike
Macnabb, BX-Silver Star director. The report must still be accepted by the legislature.

RONA is celebrating the make-over of its Salmon Arm store, which was acquired in April 2014 by Glacier Building Supplies Ltd. The 20,000-square-foot store underwent major renovations and remained open for business all along. The entire front façade was changed and now incorporates new signage. The inside was gradually entirely demolished and now features new shelving, racking, contract sales centre, service centre, paint centre, offices, washrooms and new floors. The store also includes a brand new greenhouse. “We had extensive plans to upgrade the Salmon Arm premises and business operations and are happy to celebrate our new installations offering our customers an improved level of service, commitment and excellence that is the hallmark of the RONA brand,” said Lawrie Shears, director of operations for Glacier Building Supplies Ltd. “...While renovating is always ongoing, we strive to build on the company’s reputation of quality products, fair prices and awesome service. Our new look will help us accomplish this goal.” The store has taken on 30 employees over the last year in order to better serve the needs of consumers.

Conversation with constituent: NDP candidate Jacqui Gingras discusses the issues with Gary Johnson during the official opening of her office.
Immersed in politics
Profile: NDP’s Jacqui Gingras questions status quo. by roger Knox BLACK PRESS
You can take the girl off the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the girl. Jacqui Gingras, NDP candidate in the North OkanaganShuswap riding, learned plenty about hard work, discipline and food sources growing up on a hobby farm in Oyama. “The farm provided what we needed for our family,� said Gingras, a 1987 graduate of Lake Country’s George Elliot Secondary School, whose family included her parents and a younger sister and brother. “We didn’t sell anything at the farm gate. We had horses, chickens, pigs, goats, cows, a massive garden, fruit trees and hay fields. It taught me a lot about local food and agriculture.� Gingras and her siblings would pick fruit from the trees, fruit that would be canned and preserved. They would milk the cows with which their mom would make ice cream. Mom baked bread. “It was where I learned how to cook and take care of myself,� said Gingras. It was significant in moving me into nutrition.� Upon graduation from GESS, Gingras enrolled at Okanagan College, then transferred to UBC in Vancouver, finishing a bachelor of science in dietetics in 1994. After an internship at New Westminster’s Royal Columbian Hospital to become a dietitian, Gingras decided she hadn’t quite had enough of school and completed her mas-
ters of science degree in nutrition in 1994 at the University of Alberta. Gingras moved back to the West Coast to start her own consulting company – a company she still has – in 1998, hosting workshops and counselling women and men on eating disorders and body issues. In 2002, Gingras went back to school and earned a PhD in education from UBC, finishing in 2006. “I came into an interdisciplinary program,� she said. “I wanted to ask questions about how health professionals were educated.� As she achieved her doctorate, Gingras and her partner, Kelly, welcomed their first child, a girl, Evyn, now 11. The couple moved to Kelowna – the same street Gingras’ grandmother lived on – and she began applying for university professor jobs. The first offer she received was from Ryerson University. Gingras accepted, moved east and has since become a tenured nutrition professor at the downtown Toronto school. Still, the desire to return to the Okanagan was strong. Gingras recalled time spent at one of her favourite spots on Earth, the family cabin on Shuswap Lake in Canoe. “I used to work in Cinnemousun Narrows on the floating log store,� said Gingras. “It was hard work. The Shuswap will always have a place in my heart.� Gingras and her family did move back to the Okanagan in 2012.
Gingras, Kelly, Evyn and their son, Lewis, seven, live on a 44-acre property outside of Falkland, where they have a raised-bed garden, two rescue horses, a dog and a cat. Asked when the political bug struck her, Gingras said it wasn’t really a bug but more of a political immersion that began at a young age. “My grandma was a Grade 1 teacher who was very involved in politics and we talked about politics all of the time,� she said. When the NDP formed the official opposition in 2011 shortly before the death of leader Jack Layton, Gingras became inspired. “It was more Jack’s life than death that was the moment I felt called to serve,� she said. “I have a wonderful career, am a successful academic but I was moved by Jack’s life. I said, ‘If I’m not going to run, then who am I waiting for? Why can’t I do this?’ The simple response is I can do this and want to do this.� Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Oct. 19 election, Gingras has been busy on the hustings. The No. 1 thing she keeps hearing from people is they want their rights restored. “People are struggling, tired of working so hard and not being able to make ends meet,� she said. As for new NDP leader Tom Mulcair, Gingras called him “extraordinary,� and a “principled man.� “He wants to make sure everyone in Canada is taken care of,� said Gingras.

RCMP investigate options for cigar boat issues By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Police are working on a plan to cut down on the dangerous driving of cigar boats on Shuswap Lake. At a recent council meeting, Coun. Alan Harrison asked Staff Sgt. Scott West if there’s anything the detachment can do to dissuade the use of such boats, particularly if they’re unsafe. West said he’s been speaking to Transport Canada, noting that a lot of the issues are a re-
sult of speed and noise. “There is legislation in place that deals with the noise. The issue is, apprehension of these guys is a problem for us.” He said the size of their engines makes them difficult to apprehend. “There is a plan that we might be hatching for next spring, with the neighbours to the east and west… that might or might not involve bringing in a helicopter,” West hinted. “We do watch them
on the lake, but the trouble is catching up and proving who the driver is.” He said reading the identification numbers on the boats is also difficult at high speeds with waves obscuring them. Harrison said he appreciates the effort to work with other jurisdictions. Coun. Chad Eliason asked if there would be a way to use citizens as a resource for police on the lake. West said the difficulties arise in finding the right boat with the
right numbers at the right boat launch along a thousand miles of

Beavers buck mitigation attempts By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
While the beavers living on the foreshore are busy, busy, busy proceeding with their project adjacent to the nature trail, the humans trying to mitigate the results of their work must wait for the paperwork to arrive. Janet Aitken, president of SABNES - or the Nature Bay Society, said plans are being discussed, but before they can be carried out a permit must be obtained from the province for working in and around the lake. The issue arose because the beavers, in an attempt to build a pond on the railway side of the nature trail, have built a dam that has been flooding the trail. Although humans have been poking holes in the dam to drain the water, the beavers have risen to the challenge, working hard at night to repair the damage. SABNES and the city will be working together on the plan.
“We have some ideas, but we don’t really have a plan yet,” said Rob Hein, the city’s manager of roads and parks. He said the city has talked with an environmental consultant regarding pipe work in the area, and staff have been given a book on how to work with beavers. “We’ve got some ideas on how to control the level of water on the back side of the path between the path and railway… We won’t be doing anything until we’ve had a chance to sit down with SABNES, get their buy in and then take it to council.” Hein explains: “They dam things to raise the water level, so when it ices over, they have enough water so they can access food sources.” Rather than raising the water level, one option would be to lower the ground level in the area where the beavers are seeking more water. Hein says flooding of the trail points to a bigger issue. “The long-term question is,

Curling club set for clinic, new season Over the past year there have been many changes to the Salmon Arm Curling Club, and officials are eager to get the season underway. This year marks the 75th year anniversary of the club, and it will begin with the annual curling clinic this weekend. On Saturday and Sunday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., the club is inviting the public to learn how to curl, improve their game or get back into the game. “Many people watch the sport on TV, so we want to expose the public to the sport, and show them what is really involved,” said Darcy Seghers, club manager. The club has now installed high-definition cameras over each house, and screens allow athletes and spectators to see exactly where the rocks are placed. In addition to the cosmetic upgrades to the club, Seghers mentioned the addition of two new leagues, a mixed doubles league and an adult learn-to-curl league. “We decided to add a mixed doubles league because it will be included in the upcoming Olympics in 2018.” Seghers says the league is recommended for those with previous curling experience and an enthusiasm for strategy. The adults learn-to-curl league is recommended for trying out the sport for the first time. A coach will be assigned to each team, and will teach the basics. World and national-level coach Daryl Horne will operate the league based on the Canadian Curling Association guidelines. The cost for a single day at the clinic is $10, and Seghers encourages those that are interested to sign up before Friday.

Running riot: Jonah Rivette of the Salmon Arm Jr. Bantam Chargers evades a tackle by a Kamloops player at the Sports Fields at Little Mountain on Sunday. The Chargers won their third consecutive game of the season 38-0.
Jr. Bantam’s shut out opposition For the second consecutive game, the Salmon Arm Jr. Bantam Chargers shut out their opposition, last Sunday at the Sports Fields at Little Mountain. The great defensive effort propelled the Chargers to their second straight win of the season after dropping the season opener. Led by the strong play of top lineman of the game Dayton Bittner and defensive player of the game Sam Hall, the Chargers forced multiple turnovers and continually kept the
Broncos’ quarterback under pressure. Quarterback and offensive player of the game, Vaughn McManamna, led the Chargers’ offence with a strong combination of ground and aerial play. The QB completed more than 70 per cent of his passes and also linked up with tight end Austin Hanna for an impressive 40-yard touchdown pass. The Chargers’ running attack was also very strong, with solid performances by

’Backs split showcase games By evan Buhler OBSERVER STAFF
Last season the Silverbacks opened up their two-game showcase stand with a win against the Langley Rivermen. The ’Backs could not replicate last year’s success, losing their first game of the season in a close 3-2 contest, as Will Campion scored twice for Langley, last Thursday. “We played technically sound, but the game didn’t go our way,” said ’Backs head coach Brandon West. The Rivermen’s Nick Trenciansky made 25 saves, several of which were highlight-reel calibre, stopping the high flying Silverbacks offence. Campion scored both his goals in the second, and goals from Jared Turcotte and Brett Stewart tied the game before the start of the final period. Langley rookie, Justin Fregona converted Adam Sinclair’s pass late in the third for the game winner.
In the dying seconds of the game, the BCHL leading goalscorer Ross Heidt made a strong move through the crease, but Trenciansky was equal to the challenge. The Silverbacks returned to the Prospera Centre, in Chilliwack, less than 24 hours after their game with Langley to face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. Josh Blanchard broke the scoreless deadlock early in the second period thanks to a nice feed to Josh Laframboise. Just over five minutes later, Nick Hutchison added to the Silverbacks’ lead, before Colton Thibault put the game out of reach for the ’Dogs. Silverbacks starter, Angus Redmond only faced 15 shots as he made his second shutout of the season, in just five starts, and seventh of his BCHL career. “We played very aggressively, and that is probably why we won. We just have to make sure we don’t cross the line.”

Under pressure: Silverbacks defenceman Brett Stewart holds off a forecheck by Langley’s Adam Sinclair during a game in the Bauer BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack last Thursday. After splitting their outing at the Showcase, the Silverbacks find themselves breathing down the neck of the Vees in the Interior Division standings, just a single point off their pace. West is adamant that the team’s depth is a large part of their early success. “Everyone is expected to contribute, whether that is by physical play, playing fast or scoring goals,” said West.
October is busy for the ’Backs as they play 12 games this month. The team will look to make the most of home ice advantage with seven of this month’s games being played at home. “It doesn’t matter if we’re at home or on the road, we aren’t looking past Friday’s game against a very good team.” The Silverbacks return to the Shaw Centre this Friday, where they open up a five-game
home stand against the Wenatchee Wild at 7 p.m., the league’s only undefeated team. Also making the visit to the Shaw Centre during the home stand will be Trail, Merritt, Nanaimo and Prince George. On Monday, the ’Backs released goaltender Zach Dyment and signed Brandon Kegler. “Angus (Redmond) is our guy but we expect to get Brandon in soon, and have a one-twopunch we can rely on.”
Bantam Chargers remain undefeated Continued from A17 cos last Sunday at Little Mountain. The Peewee Chargers played a strong defensive game only allowing a single major by the Broncos, on their way to the 20-6 win. Dominic Kemitzis opened the scoring for the Chargers just before half with a 30 yard romp to the end zone.
Solid defence kept the Chargers in the game until the fourth quarter when Cohen Boyd broke out for a 75-yard touchdown run as well as a 25-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Brayton Lawson. The Peewee Chargers now post a record of two wins and two losses and host the Kelowna Riders this coming Sunday at Little Mountain,
with a noon kick off.
Bantam Chargers
The Salmon Arm Bantam Chargers flexed their muscles in the Vancouver Mainland Football League once again with a dominating victory over Mission Iron Mountain. The Chargers improved their record to 4-0 with a 52-12 win last Sunday
in Mission. Only seconds into the game, the Chargers stamped their mark on the game. Tyler Chartier took the opening kickoff back for a 40-yard touchdown to open the scoring for the Chargers. Heavy rainfall and wet conditions on the field forced the Chargers to play along the ground. Also scoring
for the Chargers were Trystan Kenoras, Travis Beer and Ryker Davison. The Chargers defence was strong again, with middle linebacker, Jacob Zyri recovering a fumble and recording two sacks. Next up for the Chargers is a home game against the Vancouver Trojans this Saturday starting at 3:30 p.m.

Golds down Fulton Maroons Under the lights at the new Greater Vernon Athletics Park, the Salmon Arm Secondary Golds spoiled the party for the hometown Clarence Fulton Secondary Maroons. In front of a large crowd, the Maroons looked to benefit from the home field advantage as they held the Golds to a slow start. It was 12-6 for the Golds at halftime, Fulton’s lone score coming in the first quarter when quarterback Isaac Olson hit receiver Caden Doyle with a 58-yard pass. The Golds soon showed off their superiority on the ground, rushing for a team total of 320 yards. “Our ground game was outstanding, we really ran well tonight,” said Brad Schmidt, Golds’ head coach. Grade 12 running back Jase Robert led the way again with 180 yards on the ground and two touchdowns. Hayden Henning, Ben Lea and Mark Podschadly also added to the Golds’ tally,

played very well all around. However, we do need to clean up our penalties,” said Schmidt. “We gave them over 100 yards on penalties alone.” The final score was 26-12 for SAS.
“In the end, the Golds controlled possession of the ball and field position. They ground us out on offence and were deserving of the win,” aid Fulton head coach Mike Scheller. The Golds play their
cally from the previous day. After finishing at the bottom of their pool, the Jewels came out Saturday morning versus Penticton Secondary, the number one ranked team from the other side of the draw. The Jewels were not able to overcome the Lakers, but they remained competitive throughout the match. In the second game on Saturday the Jewels faced off against Kelowna Christian for the second time in as many days. In a reversal of roles the Jewels came out on top show-
ing vast improvement and team cohesion as they won by 10 points in each set. In the Jewels’ final match of the tournament they would again face off against C.N.B., who defeated the Jewels by an eight-point spread in both sets on Friday. After dropping the first set against C.N.B., the tension was high amongst the Jewels players. The Jewels got off to a rough start in the second set as they fell behind by eight points. But, they flipped the game on its head when
emily New and Jaden Turner went on an incredible serving streak of 12 points. Power forwards, Mackenzie Fitt, Kaitlin Munro and Brenna Isaac chipped in with strong play at the net as the Jewels took the second set, forcing a third. The Jewels coolly won the third set 1511 thanks in part to the serving run of Katie Kalke, as the Jewels finished ninth in the tournament. Brenna Issac was tournament MVP. Their next game is tomorrow at the Jackson Campus gym starting at 4 p.m.

Season opens with sense of renewal
Bedroom hilarity: Mike Nash, Randy Brogden and Laura Noakes perform a scene from their upcoming play Bedtime Stories during Shuswap Theatre’s open house on Saturday, Sept. 19. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Get your tickets now for an all-Canadian community theatre season. Shuswap Theatre has announced the new MainStage season, which will include two comedies and a drama. First up from Oct. 16 to 31, it’s Norm Foster’s Bedtime Stories, a hilarious adult comedy directed by Paul Kirkwood-Hackett. This six-storied plot weaves a tapestry of interconnected tales from a woman leaving her husband to a rock star and his groupie all focusing around one thing – a bed. “It is so funny,” says Shuswap Theatre Society president Joyce Henderson, who notes she is very excited about the new season. “There are 15 characters played by five actors and all the playwrights are Canadian, which would not have been possible 20 years ago.” The second MainStage produc-
tion in February is Cat Delaney’s Welfarewell, winner of the 2009 Samuel French Canadian Playwrights Contest. Directed by Evelyn Birch, the play tells the story of an 80-yearold retired actress who is having difficulty supporting herself with her meagre government pension. Her water and power have been shut off and when her landlord sees her burying her beloved cat in the backyard, he calls in the law. Arrested and jailed, Esmerelda discovers the joy of free room and board and a comfortable sense of community. She tries to convince the powers that jail is where she belongs. From delightful comedy to sobering issues, at the end of April, Marcus Smith directs I Had a Job I Liked Once, playwright Guy Vanderhaeghe’s winner of the Canadian Authors’ Association Award for Drama. In a world of quick condemnations and mandatory minimums, a by-the-book RCMP sergeant must uncover the truth.
The local Crown attorney’s daughter has accused a teenager from the wrong side of the tracks of an egregious crime. Now it falls on the jaded officer to investigate the crime and find the truth. “We have to balance between what the audience wants and plays that are challenging for the actors,” says Henderson, noting profit from ticket sales is what runs the theatre. “We have to have enough audience appeal to pay the bills, but you want to challenge the people involved in the play.” Grants also help oil the theatrical machine and Henderson says a $2,500 grant from the Shuswap Community Foundation allowed the society to buy new sound equipment. Financial support also came from the Salmar Community Association with $1,500 to replace the stage doors. Shuswap Evening Rotary anted up $1,500 for several needed items including the new ticket booth, the City of Salmon
Arm gave $1,800 to replace the scene shop doors and the Royal Bank provided $1,000 from their community support program. Henderson is also grateful for community involvement, pointing out there was never a shortage of volunteers when the call went out for help. Without such support many of the changes would not have occurred, says Henderson, noting new blood has also energized the theatre. “A lot of new people have come to the theatre; one actor just moved from Edmonton five weeks ago and his wife is a dresser,” she says. “And we had six new people at our potluck.” One of them was Jean Angers, a techie for Quebec’s equivalent of the Juno awards, who is doing lightning, designing sets and, as an aside, loves pyrotechnics. “But there’s limited opportunity for that at Shuswap Theatre,” Henderson says, calling the theatre’s Fall Fair Parade entry an example of renewed enthusiasm
playing at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue
at the theatre. Energy and belly laughs are features of the Laughing Gas Improv Troupe, which will present their first show of the season, Snowvember on Saturday, Nov. 21. And this year’s yet-to-be decided family friendly Christmas show to be directed by Julia Body will run Dec. 4 to 14. As well as providing “good quality live productions,” Henderson says the society is providing education. A director’s workshop will be held on the first weekend in November, with Kevin Bennett, who is associated with Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach and has worked at The Globe in London, England. “We also have workshops in Theatre 101 that are open to everyone and cover all the pieces that go together to make a production,” says Henderson. “And, we will be having a lighting and sound workshop as well.” For more information, visit www.shuswap theatre.com.

Otherwise, they have had a busy summer. “We popped up at Theatre on the Edge, busking outside, did a vintage bike show at O’keefe Ranch and played at the Smash Me Up Derby in August,” says Gowen. “We’re more sows ears, if you know what I mean,” comments Fleming.

Straight out of the Ozarks it’s Seal Skull Hammer – well, really, more like straight off Alton Gowen’s Second Avenue porch, but good ol’ boys nonetheless. Gowen, Darrin Herting and John Fleming have perfected their hillbilly persona in their “jug band” sans jug. With infectious hilarity, the three musicians talk about their porch concert beginnings four years ago to their three appearances at the Roots and Blues Festival and their third album, Hillbilly Hot Snakes, which will launch at an Oct. 3 concert. Forget the concept of lounge lizards, the album got its name from Gowen’s young daughter, he says blushing. A compilation of old-time favourites, Herting calls the CD “a batch of original goodness with some old-time favourites drizzled over.” “There ain’t no point in having biscuits if you ain’t got no gravy,” interjects Fleming, adding to the silliness that erupts whenever the three musicians are together. Gowen says it was time to drop another CD as the all-originals Better was launched in 2013. “We’ve been working on our overall per-

Spooktacular cancelled at the village. The Montebello Project is the City of Salmon Arm’s designated cornerstone infrastructure project for 2017, notes a Sept. 25 press release. Bill Laird, honorary chair of the Heritage Village’s Fund Development Committee, said that thanks to city support, the committee is moving full-steam ahead on a campaign to raise donations and pledges. There has been more than $700,000 in local commitments to date for the $1.4 million dollar project. The name Montebello Block is taken from a local historic landmark, the Montebello Hotel. Built in 1908, the upscale hotel had indoor plumbing, a bar and pool tables, and stood at the corner of Hudson and Alexander. It remained an iconic part of downtown Salmon Arm until it was con-
sumed by fire in 1967, tragically claiming two lives, destroying several other businesses, and changing the commu...the board made the difficult decision to cancel the popular annual Spooktacular event for this year, but I am sure we will be back stronger than ever next year.

nity landscape forever. Just as the original hotel was an architectural keystone in Salmon Arm’s downtown core, the Montebello Block is the architectural presence that will make R.J. Haney Heritage Village feel complete, as if it is densely
populated like the core was more than 100 years ago. The front façade will give the appearance of several smaller buildings, each representing key elements of a community that are currently missing from the village. Historic photographs of downtown Salmon Arm have served as inspiration for the façade’s designs. The exhibits will reflect authentic early day Salmon Arm businesses. “The board believes that staff and volunteers will need to focus on the Montebello Block project during this fall and winter to ensure that construction can start no later than the spring of 2016,” reads the press release. For more information about the Montebello Block, how to make a donation or pledge to the project, or to volunteer, contact the village at 250-832-5243.
Forum focuses on seniors The Shuswap District Retired Teachers Association will host an all-candidates forum at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8 at the Seniors Fifth Avenue Activity Centre. The focus of the fo-

The forum has been scheduled as late as is practical in this election cycle in order to properly address latebreaking issues in the campaign, notes a Sept. 14 press release. “We strongly en-
courage the public to attend… this will be your last chance to question candidates before the October election.” For more information, contact Larry Calvert at 250-675-5395.

Montebello: Board effort goes to Canada Day 2017. Ghosts and goblins will have to look for other Halloween haunts this year. There will be no Spooktacular at R.J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum. The board of directors is planning a community celebration for Canada’s 150th birthday on Canada Day 2017. “This is a legacy project and we need to complete it on time and within budget,” says board president Norma Harisch. “With this focus in mind, the board made the difficult decision to cancel the popular annual Spooktacular event for this year, but I am sure we will be back stronger than ever next year.” Canada Day 2017 plans revolve around the grand opening of the Montebello Block – a new museum, archives and nine dioramas, all housed in a multipurpose building

Looking at both sides of peace issues By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
The local Kairos committee is giving the community the opportunity to hear both sides of a complicated issue in “What is the Harper government’s policy on the IsraeliPalestinian conflict, and is it helping to promote a just peace for Israel and Palestine?” Facilitated by Warren Bell, the event takes place at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, at First United Church on Okanagan Avenue. Peace processes have so-far failed, the occupation of Palestinian territories has intensified, violence and extremism continue. The people in Gaza have experienced three wars in seven years. Rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip into Israel continue with increasing reach. In 2014, at least 544 children were killed: 540 Palestinian, and four Israeli. United Nations resolutions and international law require that
Israel end its 48-year occupation of the Palestinian territories and dismantle all Jewish settlements in these territories. Kairos believes Canada should take a constructive role to promote a negotiated, just peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that ensures respect for human rights and international law. Rev. Juanita Austin says Canada’s policy has grown to be proIsraeli so gradually that people don’t question the political stand. “I really want people to know the policies, how they came about, what it’s doing to the Palestinian people and be open-hearted,” she says. “We would never support any other country if it wasn’t Israel.” Austin recalls a radio announcer talking about Israeli “soldiers” and Palestinian “militants.” “It changes the value of a person when you put those kinds of words together; it makes them less than
equal and they are certainly being treated less than equal,” Austin says, noting she visited the Middle East countries after hearing about the issues at a Naramata conference. “Someone compared the arresting of Palestinian children as young as 12, dragging them out of bed, forcibly taking them from their homes, handcuffing them and interrogating them to what happened in Nazi Germany…” she says. “It was a slap upside the head to wake me up.” Austin says most people are unaware the issue is tied in with the Syrian refugee crisis. “Many of them were kicked out of Palestine when the Israelis entered the country as refugees in 1948,” she says of the Holocaust survivors. “Never again needs to mean never again for everybody.” Austin says great care must be taken to emphasize concerns are with Israeli government policy not Jewish people, and points out peace-minded Mus-
lims, Jews and Christians continue to work together to find justicebased peace for all people in the Middle East. At Sunday’s event, Vancouver Rabbi David Mivasair will speak by video link, documenting the issues from an informed and engaged Jewish perspective. Rajai and Sue Ghattas of Vernon will respond from the Palestinian perspective. Four short films on questions, prepared by the United Church of Canada, will be followed by roundtable discussion. This will be a preelection opportunity for concerned citizens to take a critical look at the Harper government’s policy and its implications for security in the Middle East and internationally. The program is sponsored by the Salmon Arm Ecumenical KAIROS Committee, part of the national KAIROS organization that unites 11 Christian churches and religious organizations in faithful action for justice.

Sculpture knits local community Salmon Arm Art Gallery presents The Knitted Tree, a community sculpture project. More than 250 people participated in the creation of this sculpture that will be unveiled at a reception, at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2. Cathi Johnston and Diana Pratt-Johnson were instrumental in building participation in this project. Through the group Odd Socks Knitting Studio Friday afternoons at the gallery, they designed each element to encourage more creativity and free-form expression within individual knitters’ abilities. All ages and levels of knitters were invited to participate in the open community-building experience, one that introduced knitting as an art media to many people.

Yarn art: Pam Wenzel creates branches and leaves for the community sculpture at the Salmon Arm Art Gallery during BC Culture Day on Saturday, Sept. 26. Not to be confused with yarn-bombing, this sculptural installation is created entirely from knitted parts. There are bark pieces, roots, branches, leaves and other knitted and felted details. Visitors will remove their shoes and walk
freely among the soft roots of the tree. “The exhibition is a touchable one, which doesn’t happen often, so we encourage everyone who loves the tactile nature of knitting to visit during this show,” says gallery director/curator Tracey
Kutschker. Coffee Break from 2 to 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15 will be a SpinIn, co-hosted by Intwined Fibre Arts. The gallery invites everyone to enjoy the many fibre art forms, and to take their own fibre projects to work on.

YOUR
Horoscope ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you being insensitive? With the Sun and retrograde Mercury linking up in your relationship zone, concentrate on the needs of loved ones … for a change! Slow down and take the time to walk a mile in their shoes. Then you’ll have some small insight into what they’re going through.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): With Mercury still retrograding through your sign [until October 9] the universe is urging you to be more prudent and patient. Close relationships are in a state of creative flux so the more adaptable you are, the better the end result will be. Pace yourself and don’t get caught up in other people’s agendas.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Attached Bulls – this week, romance and adventure are an intoxicating mix. Are you searching for your soul mate? Don’t look for love in the same old places - make sure you cast your net wide. And are you carrying some extra pounds [or kilos]? With Mercury reversing through your wellbeing zone, it’s a suitable time to revise your dietary habits and fitness levels.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you confused about an emotional issue? Sleep on it, and let a fresh perspective emerge. Be diligent when dealing with finances - there may be less in the kitty than you think. Saturn encourages you to become more financially literate, as you study and learn more about money matters.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): When it comes to a child, teenager or friend, make sure you have all the relevant information before you make a decision. Geminis love to be completely up-to-date with the latest fashion trends but, if you chop and change too much, you’ll never achieve your own signature look.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Casa Cancer is the place to be but, with Mercury reversing through your domestic zone, there’s a backlog of chores to do around the home. And expect complications with a family member, as you exchange complex information. [Don’t get your wires crossed in the process!] LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Communication and conversation are the buzz words as you share opinions, learn a new skill or pass on valuable information to someone else. But expect some mix-ups along the way. With Mercury still in retrograde mode, the challenge is to stop talking long enough to really listen to others; and to accomplish routine daily tasks with lots of Leo grace and good humour. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The big lesson to learn is how to delegate. No one [not even a Virgo] is indispensable. When dealing with other people, have your wits about you. They will say one thing – but may mean something completely different. If in doubt, then double-check. Money matters look messy too, so hold off making important financial decisions until after October 9.

Sudoku
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get ready to overdo everything, as Venus highlights your inner hedonist. You’re feeling optimistic about your abilities, but don’t take on more than you can happily handle. You’re frustrated by some people’s lack of speed and motivation, but it’s not the time to push buttons. Be proactive and strive to anticipate problems before they happen. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): TAre you portraying the public persona you think you are? Or are others misinterpreting your true motives? With Mercury reversing through your public/reputation zone [until October 9] the image you’re conveying may be at odds with the real you. So be extra careful in the way you communicate with others this week Capricorn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re keen to dream big dreams, take action and change the status quo. Avoid jumping in and being too impulsive through, as it will just upset those around you. You also feel like indulging your passion for sport, travel or adventure, but double-check all the details, otherwise there’ll be mix-ups and delays. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Fish are in for an unsettling week, as retro Mercury and nebulous Neptune confuse communication and muddle emotional issues. You’ve got a lot on your plate BUT don’t imagine things are worse than they actually are. A spot of delicious daydreaming is fine BUT don’t let it slip into the realm of dangerous delusions. Keep your ideas – and expectations – grounded in reality.
