Restoration effort Sqitxleqs and Shawn Billy look out from inside a summer home constructed during the restoration work that took place Saturday at the Switzmalph Cultural Village. Members of the Neskonlith Band held the work party to revisit the dream late elder Mary Thomas had for her land near the mouth of the Salmon River. Volunteers worked to restore riverside trails and rebuild a number of structures, including a sweat lodge and smokehouse. The work culminated in the afternoon with a First Nations feast.

Briefs
Trail/dog input welcomed If you’d like to voice your opinion on whether dogs on leash should be allowed on the Foreshore Trail adjacent to Salmon Arm Bay, city council has set a date for public input. It will be received at the Monday, Nov. 23 session of council at 7 p.m. in council chambers at city hall. “The input would be welcome, whether before, by letter, email or phone call, or at the meeting in person,” said Coun. Alan Harrison. Coun. Ken Jamieson said the public will need to know the parameters on length of time they can speak and how many times. “We want to make sure it’s fair so if somebody has something to say they can be heard.”
city moves forward on hotel tax Salmon Arm council has taken what was described at Monday’s council meeting as a bold step regarding a hotel tax. Council unanimously supported a plan (Mayor Nancy Cooper was absent) to advise the Columbia Shuswap Regional District of its intention to apply directly under the Municipal and Regional District Tax (or hotel tax) program, rather than via the regional district. It will also request a letter of support from the CSRD. Council also endorses the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society as the service provider for the city’s proposed MRDT program and requests that the society consults with tourism industry stakeholders such as Shuswap Tourism and accommodation providers to develop a proposed five-year strategic plan. Under the program, a hotel tax is collected by the province and then returned to a local body for distribution.
Recycling successful Recycling in the Columbia Shuswap Regional District is being embraced by most residents, so improvements to the program will continue. Ben Van Nostrand with the CSRD told city council Monday that keeping food waste out of the landfill is one highlight of a consultation process. He expects such a program would begin with commercial operations, perhaps with a commercial ban starting mid-2016, and then a larger pilot project in 2017. Other demands from the community the CSRD is working to fulfill include: more hazardous waste disposal; expansion of curbside collection to Sorrento, Blind Bay and Sicamous; and expanding recyclable products to include such things as hard-cover books.
Birthday ideas wanted If you have an idea on how Salmon Arm could celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, here’s your chance. A subcommittee of the city’s Community Heritage Commission has been set up to assist in the planning and scheduling of Canada 150 celebrations in 2017. Members of the public and community groups are invited to its initial meeting on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2:30 p.m. in room 100 at city hall. For more information, email committee chair Coun. Louise Wallace Richmond at lwallacerichmond@salmonarm.ca or call her at 250-833-5554.

Brown ‘had no chance to react’ Continued from front straight course at a moderate speed toward home. While Donegan acknowledged Brown was impaired by drugs and alcohol at the time of the crash, she ruled there was nothing he could have done to prevent the nearly head-on collision. She also found his houseboat’s green and red navigational lights and a stern light were
visible, as was an interior cabin light. “In my view, the evidence proves that Mr. Brown had no chance to react to the motorboat as it approached... Only seconds passed between the motorboat’s last joyriding manoeuvre and its impact with the houseboat.” The B.C. Supreme Court justice found Reinbrecht had just completed a u-turn and was accelerating back up to 30 m.p.h.
(48 km/h) — looking back at his passenger — when his boat slammed into Brown’s houseboat. “There is no question in my mind that Mr. Reinbrecht’s conduct is sufficient to support the conclusion he bears the necessary moral responsibility,” Donegan ruled. A conviction of criminal negligence causing death carries with it a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Economy looks promising EDS business forum: Bryan Yu downplays recession. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
MARTHA WICKETT/OBSERVER
THANK YOU to the many volunteers who supported me over the past months. You offered me your time, your effort, your support, and your conviction. No campaign can succeed without the dedication of its volunteers; I can’t begin to thank you enough for yours. THANK YOU to the voters for your confidence. I am honoured to be elected to serve my fellow citizens of the North Okanagan-Shuswap, to carry your issues forward and fight for this constituency’s priorities as your representative in our House of Commons.

Sharing ideas: Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union CEO Michael Wagner chats with economist Bryan Yu. rate, two-and-a-half per cent going forward. Yu said China’s economy is experiencing weakness in exports, manufacturing and housing, so although 80 per cent of Canada’s export market is the U.S., China is five per cent. “When this dragon is catching cold, we’re all going to feel a draft.” Yu says the central credit union predicts interest rates will stay at near-record lows well into 2016 and possibly into 2017. He is also predicting a 73-cent Canadian dollar in 2016 relative to the U.S. currency, making “vacationing in the U.S. a lot harder, but it does help a lot of exporters in Canada.” Tourist visits to B.C. have been ramping up as the U.S. travel demand climbs, he says, “because we’re on sale.” Regarding the Liberal Party’s proposal of $60 billion for infrastructure, meaning fiscal deficits over the next two or three years, Yu said it will be a positive for the economy. He said the Central 1 Credit Union does not get into politics, but has said over the last few years it’s probably a good idea to be spending on infrastructure,
which will not mean going into major debt. Regarding the B.C. economy, he said it’s performing well due to low exposure to oil production, as well as an uplift in housing and those export sectors affected by the exchange rate. The Thompson Okanagan is in a mild growth phase thanks to manufacturing and housing, with the risk being whether more effects from the Alberta economy will be felt. As for the Columbia Shuswap, he says it’s seen a 20 per cent gain in 2015 sales to date, but prices aren’t moving much. “The key is that it’s moving in the right direction.” And interprovincial migration is fuelling population growth. Overall, the region is experiencing mild growth, with benefits coming from tourism and forestry. He said Salmon Arm has been expanding at a stronger pace than the Thompson-Okanagan and province as whole, with solid population growth of 1.8 per cent in 2014, compared to 1.4 per cent for the whole area. And, “it’s mainly moving in line with the region in terms of the economy.”

Unlike some reports, Canada did not suffer a recent recession nor is one likely in the near future. And the economic forecast for the Columbia-Shuswap looks relatively positive. This is the view of Bryan Yu, senior economist with the Central 1 Credit Union, the umbrella organization for credit unions in B.C. and Ontario. Speaking at the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society’s Fifth Annual Business Forum held Oct. 21 at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort, he said there has been a lot of rhetoric in the past couple of months about a potential recession. “The first six months of the year did see some retraction in some areas,” he said, noting a key driver has been oil prices, so capital expenditures, jobs and incomes have been affected in some areas. “But the drop in the economy is not broad-based,” he said, noting it has been a very sectorbased downturn. “In a recession, everything is affected.” He said there’s now a divergence in the Canadian economy, which overall is in a low-growth phase due to weak oil and a slow response to stronger U.S. growth. “If you’re an energy producer, you’re in trouble, or were in trouble. But things aren’t that bad… Economic activity has started to pick up, including energy. We had a soft patch in the first half, the first five months of the year, but things are levelling out.” He said predicting the price of oil is a bit of a “crap shoot.” It is not going to $80 a barrel, he says, but it could stay around $50 and some are even calling for $35. Growth in Canada is driven by expectations for the U.S. economy, and the current consensus on the U.S. is for a moderate growth

Funds requested for festival Roots & Blues: Free fairgrounds proposed as option. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
It’s a familiar refrain for city council, but this year the number was higher than before. The board of the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society made its annual request for funds for the Roots and Blues Festival to city council Monday, this time for $60,000. In 2014 the festival received a total of $95,000 from the city – an annual amount of $45,000, as well as what was called a one-time addition of $50,000 in the fall of 2014 because the event lost money. This year, the festival received an annual contribution of $50,000. Although the funds requested Monday would be appreciated in 2015, the city’s budget is not finalized until 2016 so would not normally be available until then. Brenda M’Cllelan,
secretary of the board, outlined the festival’s financial situation. Council thanked her for providing such a detailed account. “It’s above and beyond anything I’ve seen in the 10 years I’ve been here,” Coun. Kevin Flynn remarked. M’Cllelan said the 2015 festival ended up with an approximate $30,000 negative net income. Improvements to this year’s financial picture came from several areas, such as an increased raffle price, more in-kind sponsors, revenue from the Powder Blues concert and payroll savings. However, ticket, beer and wine, and merchandise sales were down, and changes in the Canadian/U.S. exchange rate meant nearly $50,000 in U.S. exchange to absorb in performer costs. She said the average age of patrons is about 40, so the festival is

also said the cost of the venue has jumped. “We have seen a great increase in annual rental of the site put upon us by another non-profit society that council also funds. I’m not sure if that non-profit thinks we’re richer than we are – we’re certainly not.” He said a lot of festivals are provided their sites free. Board member Doug Hearn asked about the city holding a meeting of groups who use the site to help find “common ground.”

School district denies bus appeal By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
Despite an appeal from parents, the School District #83 board upheld a decision to cancel a school bus route that serves high school students in Lakeshore, Raven and a portion of North Broadview. Parents started a petition drive and filed an appeal of the decision, citing safety concerns along Lakeshore Road, which has no sidewalks and narrow corners. The school district cut the route this year as a way to save money after it was determined that this year there is only one student living on the route who is actually outside the school district’s walk limits. For students in grade four to 12 the school district’s acceptable walking limit is 4.8
kilometres. Many of the students previously using that bus route did not actually qualify for the bus ride under the walk limits, but were allowed to use the bus in previous years as there had been sufficient capacity. Raven parent Daphne Brown also noted that the average high school student in Raven would have to walk 4.4 kilometres to the Sullivan campus. She also takes issue with the school district’s measurement process, noting that many of the students actually attend the Jackson campus, which is beyond the 4.8 km walk limit. “If they go to Jackson, then I think that should be the valid measurement, from their home to Jackson – not from their home to Sullivan.”
The school district argues this is because students could walk to the Sullivan campus and catch a bus to the Jackson campus from there. Brown says she was hoping trustees would give more consideration to safety. “It is an unsafe, inappropriate route for students, for anyone really, to be walking. We were hoping the trustees would see that not all routes are created equal.” In a letter denying the appeal, board chair Bobbi Johnson points out that school districts in B.C. are not required to provide any transportation of students to and from school. “The funding the Ministry of Education provides for this service has not changed since 2002. Not surprisingly, the costs for transpor-

tation are significantly more than the funding received,” states the letter, which adds, “It is a parent’s responsibility to determine how their children will safely travel to and from school.” The letter also notes reinstating the bus for this year would negatively impact the district from a cost perspective, as all the bus routes would have to be reevaluated. Johnson notes the
school district will review the transportation routes in the spring for September 2016. However, “it is not possible at this time to determine what effect this review will have on your situation.” Brown says while the decision of the board is final at this time, parents have requested a change of school district policy regarding the walk limits. A policy change could, however, take months or years for the school district to complete. Brown is also hoping for better communication from the school district when bus routes are considered for cancellation. “I am really disappointed, both that we lost the bus and with the inefficient process of school district administration.”

Don’t sanitize Halloween There’s many things I love about living in Salmon Arm, but most certainly in my top five is the Halloween Treat Trail in downtown. Due to Oct. 31 being on a Saturday this year, the downtown event will run Friday, Oct. 30 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and undoubtedly will see crowds of costumed trick-or-treaters take to the streets in search of a grand sugar rush. Coming from the city originally, this event is part of what makes living in a small town so special. It’s warm and neighbourly. I always end up bonding with some other parents as the young-uns charge from business to business accepting a gumball or Tootsie Roll One thing both the kids and I agree on is that closing off some of the streets is really cool. My kids think so because they love to be able to walk down the middle of the road without their mother yelling at them, and I love not having to worry about traffic during the frenzy. Another one of the best parts is that the Shuswap Children’s Association hands out free books, which to my book-loving daughter, is an even bigger score than a mini-Skor bar. (Thanks to the efforts of the association and its sponsors, more than 20,000 free books have been handed out in our area alone.) I want the businesses who participate (my own Observer office included) to know that people are grateful for the effort and the expense of participating. They are adding essential strands to the fabric of our community and are building lifelong memories for the children who join in the fun. And to those who close their doors instead, well, I can’t help but feel it’s a bit grinchy. But I suppose it happens in neighbourhood trick-or-treating as well. There’s always the resident who keeps the lights turned out, avoiding Halloween altogether. The Halloween spirit is also not entirely embraced by some educators. While wearing your costume to school used to be de rigueur, a number of Salmon Arm schools are dropping the Halloween accoutrements. There’s no-candy rules at some, or alternative Orange and Black Days at others. Some teachers have decided that rather than lose valuable learning time, which already gets pressured by Remembrance Day, Christmas and a host of school cultural assemblies, they will forego this holiday. The rationale is also that kids get too out of control and the party atmosphere can create unneeded stress and angst for students and teachers alike. And, as one teacher informed me, this year is a double whammy. Halloween and a full moon in one week. “A recipe for crazy,” I read in one social media post. But there’s a part of me that thinks, isn’t that what Halloween’s all about? Some wild abandonment in our often staid lives? A chance to be someone different, to live out our imaginations of being a super hero or a vampire or a genie? I’d hate to see Halloween end up as a holiday that looks like it has had all the fun scrubbed out of it with anti-bacterial soap.

Editorial
Deletions violate citizens’ rights With the federal election done and over, it would have been nice to have received a bit of a break, a breath of air not tainted by news of political wrongdoing. No such luck here in B.C., where residents are currently receiving an education on the process of “triple deleting” emails and the ramifications this has when done by those in power who at one point, offered some semblance of promise to be more transparent. The gist of the story is how the B.C. government, particularly staff in the Ministry of Transportation, thoroughly deleted their email history related to the infamous “Highway of Tears.” As for the significance of the deleted emails, while there is no longer a record of their contents, their deletion constitutes a violation of B.C.’s
Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham has also asked police to investigate a former ministry assistant for allegedly lying under oath after deleting Highway of Tears emails. Premier Christy Clark has since ordered all political staff and cabinet ministers to save all emails, pending the completion of a review of problems relating to freedom of information. In interviews after Denham’s report, Transportation minister Todd Stone nonchalantly admitted to having triple deleted his own emails from time to time, noting that is “how all British Columbians manage their email.” Of course, most British Columbians aren’t paid by the taxpayer to serve the province.

Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.” Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert. If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week. What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway. What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitch-hiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears. The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969. That’s a long way from Highway 16. Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even farther away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike. Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg.
Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be under-used. Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women. If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16. Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs. BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments. Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care. Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame. I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

Rita Bruneski Yes, people wanted a change, but I don’t think they expected such a major change.”
Dana Lord “I’m not shocked that the Liberals are in power, but I am shocked that our riding remains Conservative.”
Canadians holding their breath Some may see our country as a multicultural mosaic but I prefer to think of Canada as a huge concert hall filled with some of the world’s finest musicians. Unfortunately progressive instrumentalists have been ignored for a decade. To reach our potential, Canada needs an inspirational
leader with the courage, integrity, compassion, vision and wisdom to bring people together. When Justin Trudeau strides across the parliamentary stage and picks up the baton of power, a hush of anticipation will silence the national audience. Canadians will hold
their collective breath; each one expecting him to play their favourite tune. I wish him well, but if he does not exercise the necessary discipline to ensure his musicians are financially and ethically responsible, then all will be lost. Lloyd Atkins
Seniors deserve better care than this I feel embarrassed writing this letter because I was always proud of our healthcare system and the way it provided so much care for our ailing seniors. However, in 2001, the neo-conservative wing of the Liberal government started its mean-spirited campaign against seniors by cutting many valuable programs. That campaign reached its lowest point last year when the premier made her inane comment that seniors have to look after themselves, that they can’t expect society to do it for them. What other politician in any jurisdiction would make such a ridiculous comment? In the Okanagan, extended health care is in crisis because the government has done very little to provide
more subsidized beds, referring people to very expensive privately run facilities. The health ministry committed a big blunder when it scrapped the in-home assistance program to keep seniors in their homes as long as possible. In the mid-90s, this program would have a care worker visit a senior’s home two or three times a week, do some housework, prepare some meals and supervise bathing. When seniors face a health-care crisis for a spouse, they don’t need a social worker telling them they’ll have to sell their home, or otherwise harass and intimidate them. Now can you believe this? Seniors can be told their spouse may stay in hospital
until a bed is found elsewhere but then they must sign an Interior Health contract agreeing to pay up to $35 per day. But it gets worse. If you refuse to accept the first offer of a bed at an extendedcare facility, you must agree to pay $1,000 a day to stay in hospital. This has to be the most disgusting abuse of seniors already facing the daily pressure of a loved one with serious health problems and no end in sight, and now facing the prospect of having their loved one in a facility some 40 or 50 kilometres away. To Health Minister Terry Lake and MLA Eric Foster, shame. M. Hesketh Enderby
Extra tax seems to bring lower prices I had to go to Port Coquitlam recently and I got to Chilliwack to gas up. The price was 98.9 cents a litre at all gas stations. I asked, “How long?” I was told, “A while.”
Hmm, good enough for me. I phoned the MLA to comment, to which the company standard response came forward. It got me to thinking that
maybe we should have a 20odd cent gas tax here so our price will be similar or better than the Coast? Bob Johnston

A small prize will be presented to Mrs. Farmer in recognition of her services to the public. Wary pheasants in the Grindrod area appear to have discovered a new ruse for protecting themselves from the shotguns of the many hunters visiting the area. Recently, two fine cock birds were noticed huddled under a “No Shooting” sign on the property of Ernest Skyrme.
By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Ivan Gracia Rivera knows a lot about embracing life, cultivating generosity of spirit and treasuring friends. Gracia Rivera grew up in Apizaco, Mexico, southeast of Mexico City. In Mexico, children receive both of their parents’ last names, he explains. The ‘Gracia’ in Gracia Rivera means grace, his dad’s last name, while Rivera is his mom’s last name. He considers Canada a beautiful country. “It gives everybody the opportunity to work and to find their dreams. It’s not easy, but it gives you a chance. If you have the skills, if you have the guts to do it, it will let you do it. It’s a country of opportunities. The Canadians are really friendly people. And supportive also.” Cultural differences in Canada have meant toning down his expressions of warmth a notch. Where he grew up, “when you say hi to friends, you give a kiss on the cheek,” he says. If they don’t want to kiss you, the person has some hard feelings towards you. “To just shake the hand, you don’t trust this person.” He’s learned that shaking hands in this country is the norm. “It’s one of the things I understand and I respect.” The first culture shock he experienced was going into someone’s home. There he noticed they had food for a week, with food chosen for each day, enough for the people living there. “In Mexico, you put a little more water into the bean soup and have four more people,” he says. If a friend comes to talk, you make time, not an appointment for a week Tuesday. Ivan first came to Salmon Arm in 2009 with his spouse, Jamie. Although he had studied communications at the University of Mexico and had been a journalist for five years, he became disillusioned with the career. “At the end of the day, if the information is not what your boss wants, they change it,” he says, adding he didn’t like the way politicians in Mexico treated journalists, as if they were nothing, despite their university education. They would try to manipulate them with gifts or food.

Mrs. Eva Maki hurt her arm badly when she tried to catch a box of apples. Then later she sprained her ankle and is now undergoing medical treatment in the local hospital. The fruit situation in Salmon Arm continues to be very satisfactory. Twice this month the exchange has sent out cheques to growers and in the process has given them much pleasure. Prairie demand is not very good but the exchange has been extremely fortunate in making sales to the East, with the result that several varieties of our apples have been cleaned up entirely.

Ivan eventually moved on to tourism in Cancun, where he found a job as server on a cruise ship. He loved the experience, particularly because it’s there he met Jamie. “We were close to a thousand crew members; in the middle of the ocean we met and we started to hang out.” Jamie is from Canada and is fluent in Spanish, having learned it in school and on cruise ships in Spain and the Mediterranean. She’s helped him improve his English. From 2007 to 2009 the couple travelled in Canada, with some time in Salmon Arm where Ivan worked at the Cantina Vallarta. When Jamie became pregnant, they moved to Winnipeg to be close to her family. The family support was wonderful but the weather, for Ivan, was not. He initially worked at a Mexican restaurant there and later in construction – sometimes in -50 degree temperatures. “It was too cold for me. We were there for three winters. We moved back to Mexico for six months to warm up a little.” They now have three children. Last year the family moved back to the Shuswap, where Ivan worked on an irrigation system for a blueberry farm. About 10 months later the owner of the Cantina Vallarta restaurant said he was leaving and wanted to know if Ivan wanted to purchase the business. Ivan didn’t have the money. But, “I talked to my boss and he supported me 100 per cent.” His boss took him to Community Futures, where he was asked for a business plan. Ivan was eventually given the green light and, in March, he bought the restaurant. “He and his whole family, they support me in this way,” he says of his boss, speaking glowingly of the loyalty and caring. Now, instead of the 100 per cent Ivan usually puts into a job, “here I put 150 per cent.” His guiding principles include being happy with what he’s doing and treasuring friendships. He also has a strong faith in God. It’s hard to see Canadians unhappy when they have so much. “Here you have a car, you’re not happy with the car, you want a better car... In Mexico, it’s more like you appreciate what you have. You make it last as long as you can.” He said that although Mexico is a Third World country, “we enjoy what we’re having right now. In Canada people worry more about the future than the present. They work hard, don’t take me wrong…” With his passion for life, Ivan has put a small stage in the restaurant, where people are invited to come play music. His brother has come from Mexico to help create traditional food. “It allows me to come out and talk to people, to share a little bit of culture. The way we prepare food, we do it from scratch, we do it from back home like my mom taught us.” He hopes people will feel welcome to come to his restaurant, enjoy the food, the feeling of Mexico, and perhaps play an instrument. If it’s your birthday, Ivan will serenade you. “I come back to the same point – to be alive, to be warm, to enjoy. When I meet people who play an instrument, they’ve taken the time to learn it… If you have a talent, come and play and show others your talent. “We like to do those things for other people. It feels nice.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re in an uncharacteristic rush but do you know where you’re going? It’s not a good week to make important decisions, as your mind is racing. Wait until you’re feeling more settled and focused. Close relationships could also be confusing, as misread motives lead to irrational thinking.

Rushing around won’t necessarily get you to the finishing line any faster! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Have you been feeling frustrated about the future? Does it seem as if your goals and dreams are permanently on hold? Things take a leap forward [courtesy of Venus/Jupiter and the Full Moon] so make a wish and then make it happen. But strive to adjust the way you communicate this week Goats.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s the perfect week to throw embryonic dreams or fledgling projects into the spotlight, as the Full Moon fires up your reputation zone. Don’t worry if they’re not quite ready. Public scrutiny [as well as feedback from family and friends] will let you know if you’re on the right track. Then you can go back to the drawing board, where you can rework and re-imagine.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This week’s stars stimulate your eccentric Aquarian side, your quicksilver mind, and your tendency to do things in unconventional ways. There’s no denying you have fabulously innovative ideas about your future direction, but thinking about something isn’t the same as actually doing it. You’ll find the more mentally erratic you are, the more unpredictable the week will be.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Self-improvement is on the agenda! You’re keen to shop up a storm, as you find ways to improve your physical appearance. So it’s a terrific time to buy a new outfit, have a haircut or purchase beauty products. You’re also keen to travel or learn something new, as the Full Moon stimulates your adventure and study zone.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What are your aspirations for the future? With some productive brainstorming, you can get your goals and dreams up and running again. You’ll feel surprisingly positive on the weekend when the Sun stimulates your confidence; Neptune boosts your creativity; and delicious daydreams whisk you away into fantasy land.

Sockeye numbers shockingly low By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Expectations were high, but the 2015 late South Thompson sockeye run has been disastrous. A daily visual observation of late-run sockeye in the Adams River on Oct. 8 revealed only 2,925 fish in the lower Adams River. No laterun sockeye were observed in upper Adams River two days later on Oct. 10. Four years ago, laterun salmon were in the millions, sparking
hopes of a large return this year. But pre-run estimates of 1.2 million were quickly dropped to 200,000 for the entire Fraser River run – about half of which were expected to enter the South Thompson, with good numbers continuing on to the Little Shuswap, Shuswap Lake and Adams River. Because the numbers turned out to be so low, Fisheries Canada decided to dispense with the intensive tag and re-capture generally used to obtain an accurate count.
Stu Cartwright, acting area director of the federal Fisheries and Oceans Canada for the B.C. Interior, says they believe the less intensive method of visual counting has produced accurate estimates of the number of fish. “We know there was a lot of pre-spawn mortality in the sockeye and that complicates things four years down the road,” says Cartwright noting that while low water levels and high water temperatures were likely factors, they may not tell
Stu Cartwright Fisheries and Oceans canada
the whole story. “A lot didn’t arrive, that’s the big thing, only 200,000 entered the river… but we won’t have a final number until sometime in
Royal Canadian Legion #62
the new year.” Cartwright has happier news about the chinook run that includes the Little Shuswap, Adams, Salmon and Eagle rivers. “It looks like it will meet or exceed the brood year of 150,000 fish, which we consider to be quite a success,” he says, praising officers and volunteers for their efforts in helping chinook enter the Salmon River. “We would like to see more on the Salmon River; it has a capacity for more.”

Offence leads team to fourth win in a row By Evan Buhler
OBSERVER STAFF
Two wins over the weekend increased the ’Backs unbeaten run to four games and propelled them into the nation’s top 20 power rankings. The Silverbacks find themselves ranked 18th in the Pointstreak Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) Top 20 weekly rankings, which are based upon a variety of factors, including the league in which the team plays, winning percentage, win-loss record, total points accumulated, etc. “It’s an honour to be recognized by the league, it is something to be proud of,” said head coach Brandon West. “There is still a lot of work ahead of us, we have some things we have to fine tune and we can’t get to far ahead of ourselves, it’s only October.” In the BCHL the ’Backs hold a 10-3-2 record, sitting third place in the league and second in their division. They also boast the BCHL’s most lethal offence scoring and average of 4.4 goals per game, 1.2 more than last year. West was quick to point out that his team’s ability to play on both sides of the puck has been a major factor in the Silverbacks early season success. “I think our depth both offensively and defensively has been a huge part of our team.” On Friday evening at the Shaw Centre, Brandon Kegler got the nod against the Victoria Grizzlies, his third start of the season. Salmon Arm took an early bite out of the Grizzlies when Jared Turcotte banged in a rebound only 36 seconds into the game. The ’Backs forecheck overwhelmed the Grizzlies causing numerous turnovers and scoring chances. Taro Hirose picked up his second of the season when the puck deflected off his hip from a Brett Stewart point shot. The flow and pace of the game carried over into the second and both teams were forced to change on the fly, as whistles were hard to

Ross Heidt and Colton Thibault each scored in the middle frame, before Turcotte book ended the scoring with a goal in the third for the 5-1 win. “Kegler made many timely saves and put in a solid 60 minutes,” said West. Kegler made 41 saves and was named first star in his first BCHL win.

On Sunday afternoon in Merritt the ’Backs offence again proved to be the difference maker as they won 5-4. Three goals came on the power play from Marcus Mitchell, Carson Bolduc, Cameron Trott and a pair of even-strength goals from Heidt. “The win on Friday night at home definitely set us up to have a good weekend,” said West.

Jr. Bantams keep on rolling The second-place Salmon Arm Jr. Bantam Chargers travelled to Kelowna on Sunday to battle with the thirdplace Kelowna Lions. In a hard fought game rife with multiple turnovers by both teams, the Chargers came away with a 3816 victory. On the offensive side of the ball, the Chargers once again enjoyed a strong rushing attack, scoring four touchdowns on the ground. Dylan Eugster opened up the scoring with a hard-fought touchdown run, and offensive player of the game, Ashly Bakema, scored the other three rushing touchdowns. Defensively, the Chargers were led by linebacker Chase Henning who made tackles all over the field. The defensive play of the game was an 80-yard interception return for a touchdown from corner Spencer Paquette. The Chargers racked up three total interceptions in the game. The top linesman award went to Dayton Bittner for his stout defensive play. After dropping the opening game of the season to the Vernon

Ground game: Salmon Arm’s Ashly Bakema breaks free into open field in a game against the Kelowna Lions on Sunday in Kelowna. Magnums, the Chargers have since reeled off six straight wins. The Chargers look to finish the regular season off strong against the Kamloops Broncos this Sunday on the road.
Bantam
After dropping their first game of the season last week, the Salmon Arm Bantam Chargers returned to their winning ways with a 63-0 pounding of the Cowichan Bulldogs. The Chargers
scored on the opening kickoff when Ryker Davison took the ball 60 yards for the major. The Chargers’ offence was unstoppable with quarterback Jayden Mourato running in one touchdown and throwing for two more. Also adding to the onslaught was Travis Beer and Tyler Chartier, who each scored two rushing majors. Bladen Stephens hauled in a 40-yard pass from Mourato for a major.
Rounding out the scoring was Gabe Walker who scored a three-yard pass. The defence earned their first shutout with Jacob Zyri, who had one interception, numerous tackles and two sacks on the day, earning defensive player of the game. Next up, the 7-1 Chargers take on the Vancouver Trojans at Rupert Park on Sunday, Nov. 8.
Peewee
The Salmon Arm
Peewee Chargers lost an offensive shootout to the Kelowna Lions in Kelowna on Sunday 77-47. Both team defences struggled throughout the game. The Chargers had seven turnovers, which was the definitive factor in the loss. The third-place Chargers travel to face the West Kelowna Tiger-Cats this weekend in their final league game. Playoffs commence Nov. 7.
Golds still searching for first win The Salmon Arm Secondary Golds lost yet another nail-biter of a game on Friday evening. The West Vancouver Highlanders picked up their first win of the season in Vancouver narrowly defeating the Golds 8-6. “The boys played
hard but we had some missed opportunities,” said head coach Brad Schmidt. In the first quarter, quarterback Kevin Schmidt connected with Norman Ambauen on a 50-yard passing play, the Golds’ longest passing play of the season.
Kevin also connected with Noah Dies on a 27 yard passing play for the Golds only major of the game. The defence again played another strong game only allowing eight points. Ben Novakowski was a bright spot on defence for the Golds

as he consistently shut down the Highlanders’ offence and picked up an interception. The Golds have struggled to find their preseason offence in the regular season. In three regular season games, the Golds have not been able to break double-digit
scoring, and have only scored a total of 22 points. The Golds are still searching for their first win of the season and will have another shot to grab a win against first-place Argyle Secondary this Friday at 2 p.m. at the Sullivan Campus.

Trojans find new talisman By Brody Mark SAIT TROJANS
Daniel Schager learns from his mistakes. The first-year striker for the SAIT Trojans men’s soccer team missed an opportunity to play at the postsecondary level a few years back, but made sure that wasn’t going to happen again when he decided to come to SAIT this fall. “Oh, no way,” Schager laughs. “One thing I really wanted to do here as well, was to play soccer. Or, at least try out to see if I could help the team.” And help the team he has. So far this season, the 6-foot-3 Schager has contributed to the tune of a remarkable eight goals in nine games in which SAIT is 8-2 and second in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) South Division standings. “Coach has a lot of belief in me, and that’s helped me to get better along the way,” he says, crediting his success to Trojans head coach, Grant Stevens. Originally from Salmon Arm, the 20-year-old Schager came to Calgary a few years back to attend the
University of Calgary. He intended to audition for the Dinos, but unfortunately missed the open tryouts. He left the U of C after a year to work as an arborist. At the behest of his father, he looked into attending SAIT and settled on the Instrumentation Engineering Technology program. “It’s something that I’m interested in, and I’m following along pretty good right now,” he says. “The workload is starting to pile up a bit, but I’m finding a good balance.” After applying, an email was sent to Stevens in March inquiring about tryouts. And then another in July– just to be safe. “Sometimes kids might embellish what their abilities are, but Daniel did not– he was honest and open,” Stevens says. “He’s actually far better than what his emails said.” Schager’s season started with two goals in his first four games. However, a pair of hat tricks in late September and early October has propelled him to the team lead, surpassing teammate Francisco Miron– a fourth-year veteran of
the squad. Miron is just one of 10 players on the team in their third or fourth years of post-secondary soccer. Schager says he has been able to learn from the older players about what it takes to play at the post-secondary level. “They offer so much in regards to what to expect from certain teams and what their play will be like,” he explains. “They’re really knowledgeable. They will tell you where you need to be on the field, and how you can help the team.” Stevens says it’s been Schager’s desire to learn that has been key to his early success. “The veterans like playing with a rookie like Daniel because he listens to what they have to say,” says Stevens. “And when I tell him to do something, he does it to the best of his ability with no question.” His first three-goal performance came on the road in Olds on Sept. 26, while the latest happened in their come-from-behind win over Red Deer College at SAIT’s Cohos Com-
Revelstoke’s rocketing servers proved too tough to handle for the Jewels as they struggled to get their offence rolling. Diving beyond all effort to put up some points for the Jewels were Jaden Turner and

Happy sobriety fuels solo career
By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Singer songwriter Séan McCann is on his way. Like the lyrics of one of his new songs, he doesn’t know where but he knows he’s heading in the right direction. A founding member of the wildly popular Great Big Sea who appeared at the 2001 Roots and Blues Festival, McCann is touring solo and will stop in Salmon Arm on Nov. 8. He still lends h i s r i c h gravelly voice to many of the songs he wrote and performed with Great Big Sea but has a number of new, powerful songs written since leaving the group and the booze behind. His efforts to deal with
On tour: Singer/songwriter Séan McCann appears at Shuswap Theatre Nov. 8.
painful experiences that he used to bury in alcohol are in the lyrics of much of his new work. “You can say things in a song that you might not be able to say; they let you deal with the problem, not just cover it over,” he says. “It was a great place to hide being an alcoholic,” he said of the continual party atmosphere. “Great Big Sea had the same set list for 15 years. I was stuck there and I had to keep moving – that’s what an artist should do.” He is proud of the work he did with Great Big Sea but says many differences of opinion on what the band should do and where it should go had surfaced several years earlier and the ending was ugly and painful. McCann had tried many times to overcome his addiction but found the strength to get sober after his wife, Andrea, told him he would lose her and his children if he didn’t stop drinking. “I’m really glad she had the courage to do that; she knew I was killing myself and I heard that,” he says. “You tell your kids how to live their lives, then you have to tell yourself, ‘maybe I can learn something from my kids.’” The first nine months of sobriety were extremely difficult and lonely, but McCann says he had the comfort of his songs and his guitar. Since leaving the band, McCann released an album produced by Joel Plaskett, entitled Help Your Self, and over the summer unveiled another entitled the You Know I Love You Collection of Songs. “They truly represent who I am. Once I sobered up I figured out this is me,” he says, noting the ‘game of fame’ and the money that came with it did not make him happy. “Money seldom brings out the best in people. I still have something to say and I’m still making music, from a different motivation.” At 48, McCann said he wants the second half of his life to be better. “You have to acknowledge the shadows, you can’t keep pretending they’re not there,” he says. “I’m looking for
something more substantial; it’s a harder path but I am happier.” The lyrics may deal with difficult issues but the songs are far from being dirges. They speak of change, of renewal, light and hope of better times ahead. Like the sea shanties he wrote for Great Big Sea, many of McCann’s songs have rich Celtic undertones and rousing reminders of the power of the ocean he was born beside. McCann’s ancestors arrived in Newfoundland from County Armagh about 400 years ago and the Newfoundlander says his time as a teenager spent in Ireland felt strangely like home. “I could understand where the traditional music came from and I learned a lot about folk music,” he says. “Before you know where you’re going, you need to know where you come from first.” McCann says if he has any regrets about his days with Great Big Sea, it is that he was isolated from his audiences. Sobriety made other connections important to the artist, who volunteered his time to work with teens with addiction and mental-health issues. He says his reward was much greater than his giving. “When I bring my guitar and start playing, the faces change, including mine,” he says of the power of music to heal. McCann says he gets inspiration for his songs as he travels, with many of them beginning in Newfoundland by the ocean and ending in the mountains. McCann is thoroughly enjoying the smaller venues and increased connection to his audiences, whom he invites to sing along. Listen to McCann’s music at http://www.seanmccannsings.com, where every song has its own artwork, created by good friend and talented artist/singer/songwriter Meaghan Smith. Then go to Acorn Music to get your tickets for the Nov. 8 concert at Shuswap Theatre. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

Writing tales of Canada By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Author and artist Mix Hart travelled Canada widely while she was growing up. The experiences and visual impressions she gathered make their way into her books. “I know Canada very well and what I write about are Canadian stories, Canadian landscapes and natural and social history,” says the author, who will be at the Book Nook from 3:30 to 5:30 on Thursday, Nov. 5. Hart has written two novels for young readers that are set in B.C., and is on tour to promote her latest, Queen of the Godforsaken, which is set in Saskatchewan. Queen of the Godforsaken is a crossover novel for the teen/adult market. “It is both humorous and dark,” says Hart of the story set in the mid1980s. The father has lost his job at UBC and moves his family to remote, ancestral lands in Saskatchewan, uprooting his two teenage daughters. The story is told in the voice of 15-year-
old Lydia. “It’s more about will the family survive the move to the site of the Northwest Rebellion with its dark history,” says Hart, of the land once soaked in the blood of Louis Riel’s battle with Canadian authorities. “It’s a real culture shock for the family and each one reacts in their own way – the mother is depressed and the father is having a hard time getting work in the recession.” Hart says Lydia has a dark humour in this coming-of-age story that also highlights the rural Prairies at their most bucolic and brutal. Hart is also an artist who switched to digital oil painting to illustrate Peter Not-Pizzaface and The Decrepit Caboose, an exhilarating tale of adventure and action aboard a train on the Kettle Valley Railway. “It’s part fantasy, B.C. history and environmentalism,” says Hart. “I paint on a big screen with a pencil type thing that works like a brush and mimics oil painting,” she says.
“I love it because I no longer have to worry about the toxicity of the paints.” Hart, who went to JL Jackson High School when it was located on Shuswap Street, is looking forward to speaking to students prior to her appearance at the Book Nook. “I never thought I’d go back to Jackson,” she says with a laugh.

After quickly making a splash as a performer on the Toronto music scene, trumpeter/vocalist/songwriter Tara Kannangara is now poised to release her accomplished debut album, Some Version of the Truth. It introduces a multifaceted artist with a fresh musical approach. Growing up in Chilliwack, Kannangara studied classical piano and singing from an early age. She was active in musical theatre and choirs, then picked up the trumpet in high school, concentrating on classical before later moving into jazz. Kannangara studied at the University of Victoria and concentrated on classical trumpet and vocals; later moving to Toronto to pursue jazz studies at the University of Toronto where she came into her own as a performer and songwriter.

FERN SMITH Lovingly remembered as recited by her grandchildren 1933 - 2015 Fernande “Fern” Marie Smith, our Mother and Grandmother, passed away suddenly on October 20, 2015, at the age of 82. She was born in Frenchville, Saskatchewan on February 20, 1933 to Maurice and Menadore Gerard. Grandma’s father, Maurice Gerard was born in Sensenruth, Bouillon, Belgium and immigrated to Canada in 1920, arriving in New Brunswick. As with many at that time, he came to Canada twice, the first time in 1920 settling in Vanguard, Saskatchewan and returning to Belgium in 1923. They came a second time in 1925 returning to Vanguard, Saskatchewan, this time staying in Canada. Grandma’s mother, Menadore Tessier was born in Orleans, Ontario. Maurice and Menadore married in 1930 and had two children, Julien and Grandma. In 1933, the family lived on a farm, where Grandma was born and delivered by a mid wife. The following year, her mother, Menadore, passed away at the age of 27. At that time Grandma was one year old and her older brother, Julien, was two. In 1936, Maurice married Lucienne Auger in Frenchville, Saskatchewan uniting Grandma, her brother Julien and Lucienne’s three children Hank, Alec and Ray. Together, they had three more children Ernest, Rita and Lucien. Maurice moved his family to Cadillac, Saskatchewan where he opened a welding shop. At age 10, Grandma went to live at a Convent with her sister, Rita, where they resided for three years. There was a large Catholic population in Pontiex (and area) and so a Catholic School was opened which was run by the Catholic Church. It was like a boarding school and compared to the one room school house education, this would have been considered a very good education. There would have been many high quality teachers, who were nuns working there. Even at the young age of ten, Grandma told us she and her sister Rita missed being around family, as family was always important. Grandma earned a gold medallion from the Province of Saskatchewan in the subject of reading, writing and speaking in French. She was so proud of this – she told us that she got 90% - the highest in the class at age 15. This medallion was still on her night stand when she passed away along with a picture of her sister Rita. Around 1948, the Gerard family moved to St. Boniface, Winnipeg, Manitoba where Grandma found school to be quite different and eventually quit and went to work in the hospital kitchen. In the early 1950s, Grandma moved to Calgary, Alberta to be closer to her brothers. It was in Calgary, where she met Grandpa – William (Bill) Dennis on a blind date and after a courting period they married in 1953. Their first child, Sandra was born in Calgary, Alberta, and the family then moved to the Peace River Country in northern Alberta where Grandpa worked in the Oil Patch. The family grew to five children: Sandra, Bill, Richard, Monica and Rob. In 1964, the family settled on a homestead near Valleyview, Alberta. Farming life in northern Alberta was a challenge as it seemed to rain all the time. Despite this the family began doing all the things required to raise a family. Providing for the family was a lot of work and the entire family pitched in. Each year a large garden was grown, the root cellar was filled and the shelves were stocked with canned goods along with tending cattle and clearing and planting farm land. In the fall, Grandpa would go out and hunt moose, resulting in a full freezer. This was part of the routine of sustaining life in a northern winter climate of the 50s and 60s. In addition to the household chores of raising a family, Grandma worked in town waiting tables and cooking (often working the evening shift after being with the kids during the day). She continued in this profession until she retired. In 1971, Grandma and Grandpa Bill went their separate ways and in 1973 Grandma met Grandpa Keith and moved to the Sicamous, BC. Grandpa Keith had a daughter Rachele who joined the family. Grandma and Grandpa Keith operated the Paradise Motel in Sicamous for a number of years. During this time, Grandma still worked outside the home waiting tables and cooking. Grandma was a hard worker and enjoyed working. She liked keeping busy. Grandma worked in the restaurant industry for about 35 years and worked in a lot of the restaurants in Sicamous and Salmon Arm. Grandpa Keith and Grandma saved enough money to build their own home in Sicamous and lived there for many years until they moved to Salmon Arm in 1991. While living in Sicamous, Grandpa Keith’s Multiple Sclerosis deteriorated and Grandma cared for him until he passed away in 2003. In early 2000, Grandma bought a home in Evergreen Trailer Park and lived there for about 13 years. Grandma loved having the grandkids over – there was never a time when Grandma wasn’t around one of her grandchildren as she loved them so very much. When the grandkids were asked what they remember about growing up with Grandma – the responses were: going downtown, shopping, playing War or Uno, watching cartoons, Grandma cooking – the best pancakes, homemade macaroni and cheese, homemade cookies, the smell of her buns baking, playing legos, Christmas, playing the organ, playing video games, playing dolls, that is just to name a few of the things we did at Grandma’s. Grandma thought the world of us and she talked about us right up to the end. Every phone call she made to our parents she asked about us. Even the staff at Mt. Ida Mews knew our names because she was so proud of us and spoke of us – Don’t worry Grandma we will do you proud. Grandma did a lot of volunteer work in the community – she was very handy at mending clothing and did so for the Salmon Arm Thrift Shop on a regular basis for many years. She also worked in the kitchen at Senior’s Branch 109 and was known for her borscht soup. She also made her borscht soup for various church functions. She was a hard worker and very efficient. She could really stretch a dollar. Grandma loved to read, crochet and knit. She made many doilies (which were beautiful), slippers, table clothes and afghans and shared them with her family. Grandma was a very social person and enjoyed working with other people. Grandma also loved going to church although she was very timid about going once she became wheelchair dependent. Grandma moved into Piccadilly Terrace in 2012 – where she broke her arm and then her hip in 2013 which prompted her move to Mt. Ida Mews in 2014. Grandma made friends with all of the staff, who loved her sense of humour. They have referred to her as their favorite resident and their friend. Grandma was a bit of a rebel though – she was prohibited from certain foods which she would smuggle in anyway and hide in her room. Popcorn, cookies, chocolate – she absolutely loved that sweet and salty popcorn!!! Grandma loved to talk on the phone and called all of us on a regular basis. Her calls will be missed. We are not saying good bye to Grandma as we know our paths will cross again and when they do we share stories and laughs together again. Love you Grandma! Till we meet again! Grandma is predeceased by her parents Maurice and Menadore Gerard, step mother, Lucienne, sister Rita, brother Hank and husband Keith Smith. Grandma is loving remembered by her children; Sandra (Dale) Whittaker, Bill (Wanda) Dennis, Richard (Bonny) Dennis, Monica (Rick) Dalziel and Rob (Toni) Dennis. Grandchildren: Greg (Christie) Whittaker, Barb (Dennis) Dean, David Dennis, Jennifer (Mike) Bellamy, Cody Dalziel, Alyson (Rob) Smith, Courtenay (Alan) Dennis and Megan Dennis. Great Grandchildren: Landon, Griffin and Nate Dean, Rylan and Kason Whittaker, Jayce Bellamy and Noah Dalziel. Siblings: Brothers: Julien (Joanne) Gerard, Alec (Connie) DeGagne, Ray (Shirley) DeGagne, Lucien Gerard, Ernest (Barb) Gerard and sister-in-law Thelma DeGagne. A Memorial Service was held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Salmon Arm on Saturday, October 24, 2015. Memorial contributions in Fern’s name may be made to Mt. Ida Mews “Recreation Program” 100 - 5th Ave SE Salmon Arm, BC V1E 4H4. Those we love don’t go away – They walk beside us everyday. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.
